KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                          


1. Interim Financial Statements


Principles of Consolidation -


The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”). The Company’s Subsidiaries includes subsidiaries which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 ("10-K"), as certain disclosures in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Subsequent Events -


The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements (see Note 19).


Income Taxes -


The Company has made an election to qualify, and believes it is operating so as to qualify, as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”).  However, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, which became effective January 1, 2001, the Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded and maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Code.  As such, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.  The Company is also subject to income taxes on certain non-U.S. investments in jurisdictions outside the U.S.


Earnings Per Share -


The following table sets forth the reconciliation of earnings and the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts presented in thousands except per share data):

(a)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the effect of certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share.  Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.


The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.


There were approximately 13,552,139 and 15,825,838 stock options that were not dilutive at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


New Accounting Pronouncements -


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 is intended to improve comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 201l. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, or ASU 2011-05. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted, but full retrospective application  is required. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications –


The Company made the following reclassifications to the Company’s 2010 Consolidated Statements of Income to conform to the 2011 presentation: (i) a reclassification of the income from the Company’s investment in the Albertson’s joint venture from equity in income of joint ventures, net to equity in income of other real estate investments, net, (ii) a reclassification of equity amounts from income from other real estate investments to equity in income from other real estate investments, net, and (iii) a reclassification of foreign taxes from other expense, net to the provision for income taxes, net.

*    Gross leasable area ("GLA")

(1)  This property was acquired from a joint venture in which the Company has a 13.4% noncontrolling interest.  The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the guidance for the remaining ownership interest relating to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as such recorded a gain of approximately $0.6 million from the fair value adjustment associated with its original 13.4% ownership.

(2)  The Company purchased the leasehold improvements at this property, for which it previously owned the land.


Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building, building improvements and tenant improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above and below-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships), assumed debt and redeemable units issued at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Based on these estimates, the Company allocates the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. Fair value is determined based on an exit price approach, which contemplates the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  If, up to one year from the acquisition date, information regarding fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation on a retrospective basis.  The Company expenses transaction costs associated with business combinations in the period incurred.  


In allocating the purchase price to identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, the value of above-market and below-market leases is estimated based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts, including fixed rate renewal options, to be paid pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of the market lease rates and other lease provisions (i.e., expense recapture, base rental changes, etc.) measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. The capitalized above-market or below-market intangible is amortized to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases, which includes the expected renewal option period.  Mortgage debt discounts or premiums are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt instrument.  Unit discounts and premiums are amortized into noncontrolling interest in income, net over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the units.

During July 2011, the Company acquired the remaining interest in a previously consolidated joint venture for approximately $0.2 million.  The Company continues to consolidate this entity as there was no change in control from this transaction. The purchase of the additional partnership interest resulted in a decrease to the Company’s Paid-in capital of approximately $0.2 million


During September 2011, the Company acquired additional interests in two separate consolidated joint ventures for an aggregate cost of approximately $9.7 million.  The Company continues to consolidate these entities as there was no change in control from these transactions. The purchase of the additional partnership interest resulted in an increase to the Company’s Paid-in capital of approximately $2.2 million.


Dispositions –


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company disposed of 17 operating properties, one development property and one outparcel, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $70.0 million. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued Operations, resulted in an aggregate gain of approximately $8.7 million and impairment charges of approximately $8.9 million. Additionally, the Company disposed of a portion of an operating property for approximately $1.8 million. This transaction resulted in an impairment of approximately $0.6 million which is included in Impairment of property carrying values, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  


Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a consolidated joint venture in which the Company had a preferred equity investment disposed of a property for a sales price of approximately $6.1 million.  As a result of this capital transaction, the Company received approximately $1.4 million of profit participation, before noncontrolling interest of approximately $0.1 million.  This profit participation has been recorded as Income from other real estate investments and is reflected in Income from discontinued operating properties in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


Impairment of Property Carrying Value -


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of approximately $1.4 million relating to its investment in an operating property and one land parcel.  The aggregate book value of these properties was approximately $4.9 million. The estimated aggregate fair value of these properties is based upon purchase price offers aggregating approximately $3.5 million.


FNC Realty Corporation  –


During February 2011, the Company acquired an additional 9.9% interest in FNC Realty Corporation (“FNC”) for $9.6 million, which increased the Company’s total controlling ownership interest to approximately 66.51%.  The Company had previously and continues to consolidate FNC. Since there was no change in control from this transaction, the purchase of the additional partnership interest resulted in an increase to the Company’s Paid-in capital of approximately $1.0 million.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, FNC disposed of a property for a sales price of approximately $3.4 million which resulted in a pre-tax profit of approximately $2.5 million, before noncontrolling interest and income tax expense. This income has been recorded as Income from other real estate investments in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


3. Discontinued Operations


The Company reports as discontinued operations, properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold in the current period. The results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the caption Discontinued operations.  This reporting has resulted in certain reclassifications of 2010 financial statement amounts.

The components of income and expense relating to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are shown below. These include the results of operations through the date of each respective sale for properties sold during 2011 and 2010 and the operations for the applicable period for those assets classified as held-for-sale as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands):

During 2011, the Company classified as held-for-sale five operating properties and one land parcel comprising approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA.  The book value of each of these properties aggregated approximately $9.9 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $6.8 million. The Company recognized impairment charges of approximately $1.1 million on the land parcel. The individual book values of the five operating properties did not exceed each of their estimated fair values less costs to sell. The Company’s determination of the fair value of these properties and land parcel, aggregating approximately $17.0 million, was based upon executed contracts of sale with third parties.  The Company completed the sale of three of these properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  During 2011, the Company reclassified one property previously classified as held-for-sale into held-for-use.  The remaining properties held-for-sale aggregating approximately $6.1 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $4.4 million, are included in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Prudential Investment Program -


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, KimPru recognized an impairment charge of approximately $40.1 million relating to one property which defaulted on its non-recourse mortgage.  This property was unable to generate sufficient cash flows to cover the debt service and negotiations with the lender had not produced a suitable loan modification.  As such, this property was foreclosed on by the third party lender.  The Company had previously taken other-than-temporary impairment charges on its investment in KimPru and had allocated these impairment charges to the underlying assets of the KimPru joint ventures including a portion to this operating property.  As such, the Company’s share of the $40.1 million impairment loss was approximately $4.5 million which is included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a third party mortgage lender foreclosed on an operating property for which KimPru had previously taken an impairment charge during 2010.  As a result of these foreclosures, KimPru recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $30.1 million.  The Company’s share of this gain was approximately $4.5 million, before income taxes, which is included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


KimPru’s estimated fair value relating to the impairment assessment above was based upon a discounted cash flow model that included all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period.  Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in this model were based upon rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective property.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, KimPru II recognized an impairment charge of approximately $7.3 million related to a property which defaulted on its non-recourse mortgage.  This property was unable to generate sufficient cash flows to cover the debt service due to tenant vacancies.  Negotiations with the lender had not produced a suitable loan modification and as such, the property was foreclosed on by the third party lender.  The Company had previously taken other-than-temporary impairment charges on its investment in KimPru II and had allocated these impairment charges to the underlying assets of the KimPru II joint ventures including a portion to this operating property.  As such, the Company’s share of the $7.3 million impairment loss was approximately $1.0 million which is included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  


KIR –

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, KIR recognized an impairment charge of approximately $4.6 million relating to one property which was classified as held-for-sale.  KIR’s determination of the fair value for this property, approximately $14.0 million, was based upon a contract of sale with a third party.  The Company’s share of this impairment is approximately $2.1 million and is included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.



14




UBS Programs (“KUBS”) –


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, KUBS recognized an impairment charge of approximately $9.7 million relating to one property which was classified as held-for-sale.  KUBS’s determination of the fair value for this property, approximately $17.4 million, was based upon a contract of sale with a third party.  The Company’s share of this impairment is approximately $1.9 million and is included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


Other Joint Venture Programs –


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company entered into negotiations with its partners to exit its investment in a redevelopment property in Harlem, NY.  As a result, the Company recognized a full impairment charge of approximately $3.1 million.


Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of $2.0 million, before income tax benefit, against the carrying value of an investment in which the Company holds a 13.4% noncontrolling ownership interest.  The Company determined the fair value of its investment based on the estimated sales price of the property in the joint venture.


6. Other Real Estate Investments


Preferred Equity Capital -


The Company previously provided capital to owners and developers of real estate properties through its Preferred Equity program. As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s net investment under the Preferred Equity program was approximately $337.5 million relating to 529 properties, including 398 net leased properties.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company earned approximately $19.8 million from its preferred equity investments, including $3.9 million in profit participation earned from seven capital transactions.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned approximately $28.3 million from its preferred equity investments, including $6.5 million in profit participation earned from seven capital transactions.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a property within one of the Company’s preferred equity investments was in default of its mortgage and received a foreclosure notice from the mortgage lender.  As such, the Company recognized a full impairment charge of approximately $0.6 million.


Other –


The Company holds a 13.4% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture with an investment group, which owns a portion of Albertson’s Inc.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the joint venture distributed approximately $100.0 million of which the Company received approximately $13.9 million and recognized income of approximately $14.5 million, before income tax.


7. Variable Interest Entities


Consolidated Operating Properties


Included within the Company’s consolidated operating properties at September 30, 2011 are three consolidated entities that are VIEs and for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.   All of these entities have been established to own and operate real estate property. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. These entities were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the voting rights of the equity investors is not proportional to their obligation to absorb expected losses or receive the expected residual returns of the entity and substantially all of the entity's activities are conducted on behalf of the investor which has disproportionately fewer voting rights. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest.  


At September 30, 2011, total assets of these VIEs were approximately $83.4 million and total liabilities were approximately $7.6 million.  The classification of these assets is primarily within real estate and the classification of liabilities are primarily within accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with cash flows generated from the properties.  The Company has not provided financial support to any of these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide, which consists primarily of funding any capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, which are deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls that the entity may experience.



15




Consolidated Ground-Up Development Projects


Included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at September 30, 2011 are two entities that are VIEs, which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities were established to develop real estate property to hold as long-term investments.  The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. These entities were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest.


At September 30, 2011, total assets of these ground-up development VIEs were approximately $104.5 million and total liabilities were approximately $0.8 million. The classification of these assets is primarily within real estate under development and the classification of liabilities are primarily within accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


Substantially all of the projected development costs to be funded for these ground-up development VIEs, aggregating approximately $31.1 million, will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and by the outside partners, when contractually obligated. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.


Unconsolidated Ground-Up Development


Also included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at September 30, 2011, are two unconsolidated joint ventures, which are VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These joint ventures are primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to these entities were not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs based on the fact that Company has shared control of these entities along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have controlling financial interests in these VIEs.


The Company’s aggregate investment in these VIEs was approximately $33.6 million as of September 30, 2011, which is included in Real estate under development in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is estimated to be $54.7 million, which primarily represents the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of approximately $21.1 million.  The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.  All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.


Unconsolidated Redevelopment Investment


As of September 30, 2011, the Company has a redevelopment project through an unconsolidated joint venture, that is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture was primarily established to own and operate real estate property. The entity was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its redevelopment activities without additional financial support from its partners. As a result the partners are required to fund the entity’s redevelopment costs throughout the redevelopment period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest in this VIE.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a full impairment against its investment in this joint venture due to the Company’s anticipated exit from the partnership.  This entity is encumbered by third party debt of approximately $24.7 million, for which the Company has provided an interest only guarantee that is fully back-stopped by the outside partners.  The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide.  All future costs of re-development will be funded with capital contributions by the outside partners.  



16




Preferred Equity Investments


Included in the Company’s preferred equity investments is one unconsolidated investment that is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture was primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of the entity along with the entity’s other partner and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest in this VIE.


The Company’s investment in this preferred equity VIE was approximately $3.1 million as of September 30, 2011, which is included in Other real estate investments in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $4.9 million, which primarily represents the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments.  The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide.  All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.   


8. Marketable Securities and Other Investments


At September 30, 2011, the Company’s investment in marketable securities was approximately $39.7 million which includes an aggregate unrealized gain of approximately $12.9 million relating to marketable equity security investments.  


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received a principal payment of approximately $7.0 million Australian dollars (“AUD”) (approximately USD $6.9 million) relating to the convertible notes issued by a subsidiary of Valad Property Group (“Valad”).  Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold its remaining Valad convertible notes (the “Valad notes”) for a sales price of approximately AUD $165.0 million (approximately USD $169.1 million), plus unpaid accrued interest.  In connection with the anticipation of this sale, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contract to mitigate the foreign exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates (see Note 13).  The Company recorded an adjustment to the carrying value of the Valad notes of approximately USD $0.9 million based upon the agreed sales price. This adjustment is recorded in Other expense, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.   


9. Notes Payable


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid the remaining $88.0 million outstanding on its 4.82% medium-term notes, which matured in August 2011.  


10. Mortgages Payable


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company assumed approximately $55.0 million of individual non-recourse mortgage debt relating to the acquisition of five operating properties, including an increase of approximately $3.3 million associated with fair value debt adjustments.


Mortgages payable, collateralized by certain shopping center properties and related tenants' leases, are generally due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest, which mature at various dates through 2031. Interest rates range from LIBOR (approximately 0.24% as of September 30, 2011) to 9.75% (weighted-average interest rate of 6.20% as of September 30, 2011).  The scheduled principal payments (excluding any extension options available to the Company) of all mortgages payable, excluding unamortized fair value debt adjustments of approximately $4.7 million, as of September 30, 2011, were approximately as follows (in millions): 2011, $5.6; 2012, $218.7; 2013, $120.5; 2014, $225.2; 2015, $68.4; and thereafter, $416.3.


11. Construction Loans


As of September 30, 2011, the Company had three construction loans with total loan commitments aggregating approximately $82.5 million, of which approximately $42.0 million has been funded. These loans are scheduled to mature between 2012 through 2035 and bear interest at rates of LIBOR plus 1.90% (2.14% at September 30, 2011) to 5.81%.  These construction loans are collateralized by the respective projects and associated tenants’ leases.  


12. Noncontrolling Interests


Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling financial interest in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance.  



17




The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interests also includes amounts related to partnership units issued by consolidated subsidiaries of the Company in connection with certain property acquisitions.  Partnership units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event that is certain to occur are determined to be mandatorily redeemable under the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance and are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholder’s equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  


The following table presents the change in the redemption value of the Redeemable noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 (amounts in thousands):

13. Fair Value Measurements


All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s estimation based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies, reasonably approximate their fair values except those listed below, for which fair values are reflected.  The valuation method used to estimate fair value for fixed-rate and variable-rate debt and noncontrolling interests relating to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests associated with finite-lived subsidiaries of the Company is based on discounted cash flow analyses, with assumptions that include credit spreads, loan amounts and debt maturities.  The fair values for marketable securities are based on published or securities dealers’ estimated market values.  Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.  The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimate of fair value differs from the carrying amounts (in thousands):

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, including available for sale securities and derivatives. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  


As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized impairment charges of approximately $16.7 million relating to adjustments to property carrying values, investment in other real estate investments and investment in real estate joint ventures. The Company’s estimated fair values relating to these impairment assessments were primarily based upon estimated sales prices. Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation in these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 


During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized impairment charges of approximately $12.8 million relating to adjustments to property carrying values, investments in other real estate investments and marketable securities and other investments.  The Company’s estimated fair values relating to these impairment assessments were primarily based upon estimated sales prices. Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation in these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

14. Financial Instruments – Derivatives and Hedging


The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risk through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including foreign currency exposure, interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may use derivatives to manage exposures that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and market value fluctuations of equity securities. The Company limits these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives.


Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk -


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contract to sell AUD $165.0 million and buy USD $169.1 million.  The Company is a USD functional currency entity and had agreed to sell its AUD-denominated Valad notes. Because of the fluctuations in the AUD-USD exchange rate, the Company was exposed to foreign exchange gains and losses, specifically the risk of incurring a lower USD cash equivalent amount of the anticipated AUD proceeds collected in the future. The Company’s objective and strategy was to mitigate this risk and the associated foreign exchange gains and losses, and lock-in the future exchange rate when AUD proceeds were converted to USD. The Company designated the AUD-USD foreign exchange risk as the risk being hedged.  


During April 2011, the Company received AUD $170.2 million (approximately USD $174.7 million) from the sale of the Valad notes representing the principal and unpaid interest and settled its foreign currency forward contract.    Upon settling the foreign currency forward contract, the Company recorded a reclass of $10.0 million from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Other expense, net, which was fully offset by a foreign currency gain on sale of the Valad notes.  As a result there was no net gain or loss recognized.


The effective portion of the changes in fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had no hedge ineffectiveness.


Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk -


 The Company, from time to time, hedges the future cash flows of its floating-rate debt instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk principally through interest rate swaps and interest rate caps with major financial institutions. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no hedge ineffectiveness.


Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges of interest rate risk will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.  During the remainder of 2011, the Company estimates that an additional $0.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.


As of September 30, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

16. Incentive Plans


The Company maintains two equity participation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 1998 Equity Participation Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and the 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”).  The Prior Plan provides for a maximum of 47,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options and restricted stock grants.  The 2010 Plan provides for a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options and other awards, plus the number of shares of common stock which are or become available for issuance under the Prior Plan and which are not thereafter issued under the Prior Plan, subject to certain conditions.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, options granted under the Plans generally vest ratably over a range of three to five years, expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable at the market price on the date of grant.  Restricted stock grants generally vest (i) 100% on the fourth or fifth anniversary of the grant, (ii) ratably over three or four years or (iii) over three years at 50% after two years and 50% after the third year.  Performance share awards may provide a right to receive shares of restricted stock based on the Company’s performance relative to its peers, as defined, or based on other performance criteria as determined by the Board of Directors.  In addition, the Plans provide for the granting of certain options and restricted stock to each of the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Independent Directors”) and permits such Independent Directors to elect to receive deferred stock awards in lieu of directors’ fees.


The Company recognized expense associated with its equity awards of approximately $14.0 million and $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $27.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.


The Company, from time to time, repurchases shares of its common stock in amounts that offset new issuances of common shares in connection with the exercise of stock options or the issuance of restricted stock awards. These repurchases may occur in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 213,601 shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $4.0 million, of which $3.4 million was provided to the Company from options exercised.


17. Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”)


The Company is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on the income from its TRS activities, which include Kimco Realty Services ("KRS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the consolidated entities of FNC Realty Corporation (“FNC”) and Blue Ridge Real Estate Company/Big Boulder Corporation.  The Company is also subject to local taxes on certain Non-U.S. investments.



21




Income taxes have been provided for on the asset and liability method as required by the FASB’s Income Taxes guidance.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the taxable assets and liabilities.


The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the caption Other assets and Other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $92.9 million. This net deferred tax asset includes approximately $7.9 million for the tax effect of net operating losses (“NOL”) after the impact of a valuation allowance of $33.8 million, relating to FNC. The partial valuation allowance on the FNC deferred tax asset reduces the deferred tax asset related to NOLs to the amount that is more likely than not realizable.  The Company based the valuation allowance related to FNC on projected taxable income and the expected utilization of remaining net operating loss carryforwards.  Additionally, FNC has approximately $3.0 million of deferred tax assets relating to differences in GAAP book basis and tax basis of accounting.  The Company has foreign net deferred tax assets of $6.3 million, relating to its operations in Canada and Mexico due to differences in GAAP book basis and the basis of accounting applicable to the jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.   The Company’s remaining net deferred tax asset of approximately $75.7 million primarily relates to KRS and consists of (i) $11.8 million in deferred tax liabilities, (ii) $7.6 million related to partially deferred losses, (iii) $4.2 million in tax credit carryforwards, $2.9 million of which expire from 2027 through 2030 and $1.3 million that do not expire, (iv) $0.4 million for the tax effect of capital loss carryforwards, (v) $7.0 million for the tax effect of NOL’s, and (vi) $68.3 million primarily relating to differences in GAAP book basis and tax basis of accounting for (i) real estate assets, (ii) real estate joint ventures, (iii) other real estate investments, (iv) asset impairments charges that have been recorded for book purposes but not yet recognized for tax purposes and (v) other miscellaneous deductible temporary differences.


As of September 30, 2011, the Company determined that no valuation allowance was needed against the $75.7 million net deferred tax asset within KRS. This determination was based upon the Company’s analysis of both positive evidence, which includes future projected income for KRS and negative evidence, which consists of a three year cumulative pre-tax book loss for KRS. The cumulative loss was primarily the result of significant impairment charges taken by KRS during 2010 and 2009.   As a result of this analysis the Company has determined it is more likely than not that KRS’s net deferred tax asset of $75.7 million will be realized and therefore, no valuation allowance is needed at September 30, 2011. If future income projections do not occur as forecasted or the Company incurs additional impairment losses within KRS, the Company will reevaluate the need for a valuation allowance.


The Company is subject to income tax in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., principally Canada and Mexico. The statute of limitations on assessment of tax varies from three to seven years depending on the jurisdiction and tax issue. Tax returns filed in each jurisdiction are subject to examination by local tax authorities. The Company is currently under audit by the Canadian Revenue Agency, Mexican Tax Authority and the IRS. In October 2011, the IRS issued a notice of proposed adjustment, which proposes pursuant to Section 482, to disallow a capital loss claimed by KRS on the disposition of Valad common shares. Because the adjustment is being made pursuant to Section 482, the IRS has the ability to impose a 100 percent “penalty” tax on the Company in lieu of disallowing the capital loss deduction. The notice of proposed adjustment indicates the IRS’ intention to impose the 100 percent penalty tax on the Company in the amount of approximately $40.9 million in lieu of disallowing the capital loss claimed by KRS. The Company strongly disagrees with the IRS’ position on the application of Section 482 and the imposition of the 100 percent penalty tax. Upon receipt of a notice of proposed assessment the Company will have thirty days to file a written protest and request an IRS Appeals Office conference, which the Company fully intends to file. The company intends to vigorously defend its position against what is expected to become a proposed assessment and believes it will prevail.

19. Subsequent Events


During October 2011, the Company established a new $1.75 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to expire in October 2015 and has a one-year extension option.  This credit facility, which replaces the Company’s $1.5 billion unsecured U.S. credit facility and CAD $250.0 million credit facility, provides funds to finance general corporate purposes, including (i) property acquisitions, (ii) investments in the Company’s institutional management programs, (iii) development and redevelopment costs and (iv) any short-term working capital requirements. Interest on borrowings under the New Credit Facility accrues at LIBOR plus 1.05% and fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings and has a facility fee of 0.20% per annum. As part of this New Credit Facility, the Company has a competitive bid option whereby the Company could auction up to $875.0 million of its requested borrowings to the bank group. This competitive bid option provides the Company the opportunity to obtain pricing below the currently stated spread. In addition, as part of the New Credit Facility, the Company has a $500.0 million sub-limit which provides it the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies such as Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or Euros.  Pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured and secured debt and (ii) minimum interest and fixed coverage ratios.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Forward-Looking Statements


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Company contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions.  You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements.  Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A. included in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and (i) general adverse economic and local real estate conditions, (ii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in their business, (iii) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt or other sources of financing or refinancing on favorable terms, (iv) the Company’s ability to raise capital by selling its assets, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (vi) the level and volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, (vii) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities, (viii) valuation of joint venture investments, (ix) valuation of marketable securities and other investments, (x) increases in operating costs, (xi) changes in the dividend policy for the Company’s common stock, (xii) the reduction in the Company’s income in the event of multiple lease terminations by tenants or a failure by multiple tenants to occupy their premises in a shopping center, (xiii) impairment charges and (xiv) unanticipated changes in the Company’s intention or ability to prepay certain debt prior to maturity and/or hold certain securities until maturity.  Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.  These unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.


Executive Summary


Kimco Realty Corporation is one of the nation’s largest publicly-traded owners and operators of neighborhood and community shopping centers.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had interests in 940 shopping center properties (the “Combined Shopping Center Portfolio”) aggregating 138.0 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) and 861 other property interests, primarily through the Company’s preferred equity investments, other real estate investments and non-retail properties, totaling approximately 32.2 million square feet of GLA, for a grand total of 1,801 properties aggregating 170.2 million square feet of GLA, located in 44 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Peru.


The Company is self-administered and self-managed through present management, which has owned and managed neighborhood and community shopping centers for over 50 years. The executive officers are engaged in the day-to-day management and operation of real estate exclusively with the Company, with nearly all operating functions, including leasing, asset management, maintenance, construction, legal, finance and accounting administered by the Company.


The Company’s vision is to be the premier owner and operator of shopping centers with its core business operations focusing on owning and operating neighborhood and community shopping centers through investments in North America.  This vision will entail a shift away from non-retail assets that the Company currently holds. These investments include non-retail preferred equity investments, marketable securities, mortgages on non-retail properties and several urban mixed-use properties.  The Company’s plan is to sell certain non-retail assets and investments.  In addition, the Company continues to be committed to broadening its institutional management business by forming joint ventures with high quality domestic and foreign institutional partners for the purpose of investing in neighborhood and community shopping centers.

(1)  Revenues from rental property increased primarily from the combined effect of (i) the acquisition of operating properties during 2011 and 2010, providing incremental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $4.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010 and (ii) an overall increase in the consolidated shopping center portfolio occupancy to 92.2% at September 30, 2011, as compared to 91.8% at September 30, 2010 and the completion of certain development and redevelopment projects and tenant buyouts providing incremental revenues of approximately $3.8 million and $19.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010, which was partially offset by (iii) a decrease in revenues of approximately $0.2 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010, primarily resulting from the partial sale of certain properties during 2011 and 2010.

(2)  Rental property expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010, primarily due to (i) the placement of certain development properties into service, which resulted in lower capitalization of carry costs and (ii) operating property acquisitions during 2011 and 2010.

(3)  Depreciation and amortization increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010, primarily due to (i) operating property acquisitions during 2011 and 2010, (ii) the placement of certain development properties into service and (iii) tenant vacancies, partially offset by operating property dispositions during 2011 and 2010.



25



Management and other fee income decreased approximately $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in property management fees of approximately $2.1 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2010, primarily due to the disposition of properties during 2010 and 2011 and a decrease in transaction related fees of approximately $1.4 million recognized during the nine months ended 2011, as compared to 2010.


General and administrative expense increased approximately $2.4 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010. These increases are primarily due to an increase in equity awards expense related to grants issued during 2011 and 2010 and an increase in other personnel related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010.


Interest, dividends and other investment income decreased approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  This decrease is primarily due to the sale of the Valad notes resulting in a decrease in interest income of approximately $4.7 million.


Other expense, net increased approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010. This increase is primarily due to an increase in acquisition costs of approximately $1.1 million and franchise taxes of approximately $0.4 million.


Interest expense decreased approximately $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  This decrease is primarily due to lower outstanding levels of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred early extinguishment of debt charges aggregating approximately $10.8 million in connection with the optional make-whole provisions of notes that were repaid prior to maturity and prepayment penalties on five mortgages that the Company paid prior to their maturity.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of approximately $16.7 million (approximately $8.9 million of which is included in discontinued operations) relating to adjustments to property carrying values, investments in other real estate investments and investments in real estate joint ventures based on their respective estimated sales prices.  Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation in these investments was classified within Level 3 of the FASB’s fair value hierarchy. 


During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized impairment charges of approximately $12.3 million (approximately $3.7 million of which is included in discontinued operations) relating to adjustments to property carrying values and investments in other real estate investments.  The Company’s estimated fair values relating to these impairment assessments were based upon estimated sales prices.  Based on these inputs, the Company determined that its valuation in these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 


Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $0.5 million due to the decline in value of one marketable security that was deemed to be other-than-temporary.


Provision for income taxes, net increased approximately $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  This increase is primarily due to (i) a decrease in tax benefit of approximately $4.3 million as a result of reduced interest expense for the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries, (ii) a decrease in tax benefit of approximately $3.1 million related to impairments taken during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in 2011, (iii) a tax provision of approximately $2.7 million resulting from the receipt of a cash distribution in excess of the Company’s carrying value of a cost method investment, (iv) a tax provision of approximately $2.8 million resulting from equity income recognized in connection with the Albertson’s investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, (v) a tax provision of approximately $1.1 million resulting from incremental earnings due to increased profitability from properties within the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries and (vi) a tax provision of approximately $0.6 million related to a gain on foreign currency, partially offset by (vii) an overall decrease in foreign taxes of approximately $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.


Equity in income of joint ventures, net increased approximately $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010. This increase is primarily the result of (i) an increase in equity in income of approximately $2.9 million from the Company’s joint venture investments in Latin America primarily resulting from lease-up



26



activities at properties that were placed into service, (ii) an increase in gains on sales of approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, (iii) an increase in equity in income of approximately $0.7 million from the Company’s joint venture investments in Canada and (iv) a decrease of approximately $2.3 million in equity in loss from a joint venture in which the Company no longer has an equity basis and is therefore no longer required to record equity losses, partially offset by an increase in impairment charges of approximately $3.3 million resulting from impairment charges recognized against certain joint venture properties during the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  Equity in income of real estate joint ventures, net increased approximately $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  This increase is primarily the result of (i) a decrease in impairment charges of approximately $12.6 million resulting from fewer impairment charges recognized against certain joint venture properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, (ii) an increase in equity in income of approximately $3.1 million from the Company’s InTown Suites investment primarily resulting from increased operating profitability, (iii) an increase in equity in income of approximately $2.4 million from the Company’s joint venture investments in Canada, (iv) an increase in gains on sales of approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, (v) an increase in equity in income of approximately $1.2 million from the Company’s joint venture investments in Latin America primarily resulting from lease-up activities at properties that were placed into service, (vi) a decrease of approximately $5.1 million in equity in loss from a joint venture in which the Company no longer has an equity basis and is therefore no longer  required to record equity losses and (vii) incremental earnings due to increased profitability from properties within the Company’s joint venture program, partially offset by the recognition of approximately $8.0 million in income resulting from cash distributions received in excess of the Company’s carrying value of its investment in an unconsolidated limited liability partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in 2011.


Equity in income from other real estate investments, net increased approximately $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  This increase is primarily due to an increase of approximately $12.9 million in equity in income from the Albertson’s joint venture resulting from cash distributions received in excess of the Company’s investment during the three months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $2.9 million in profit participation earned from the Company’s Preferred Equity Program during the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company disposed of 17 operating properties, one development property and one outparcel, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $70.0 million. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued operations, resulted in an aggregate gain of approximately $8.7 million and impairment charges of approximately $8.9 million.


Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a consolidated joint venture in which the Company had a preferred equity investment disposed of a property for a sales price of approximately $6.1 million.  As a result of this capital transaction, the Company received approximately $1.4 million of profit participation, before noncontrolling interest of approximately $0.1 million.  This profit participation has been recorded as Income from other real estate investments and is reflected in Income from discontinued operating properties in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company (i) sold seven operating properties, which were previously consolidated, to two new joint ventures in which the Company holds noncontrolling equity interests for an aggregate sales price of approximately $438.1 million including the assignment of $159.9 million of non-recourse mortgage debt encumbering three of the properties and (ii) disposed of, in separate transactions, four operating properties for an aggregate sales price of approximately $96.8 million including the assignment of $81.0 million of non-recourse mortgage debt encumbering one of the properties.  These transactions resulted in an aggregate gain of approximately $4.1 million.


Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company disposed of (i) three properties, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $23.8 million and (ii) a property from a consolidated joint venture in which the Company had a preferred equity investment for a sales price of approximately $6.8 million.  These transactions resulted in an aggregate profit participation of approximately $2.0 million, before income tax of approximately $0.4 million.  This profit participation has been recorded as Income from other real estate investments and is reflected in Income from discontinued operating properties, net of tax in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.


Net income attributable to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $55.0 million and $122.7 million, respectively.  Net income attributable to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $30.3 million and $105.8 million, respectively.  On a diluted per share basis, net income attributable to the Company was $0.10 and $0.19 for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $0.04 and $0.17 for the three and



27



nine month period ended September 30, 2010, respectively. These increases are primarily attributable to (i) additional incremental earnings due to increased profitability from the Company’s operating properties and the acquisition of operating properties during 2011 and 2010, (ii) an increase in equity in income resulting from the Albertson’s joint venture for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a decrease of approximately $12.6 million in impairment charges recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, and (iii) early extinguishment of debt charges paid during the three months ended September 30, 2010, aggregating approximately $10.8 million, partially offset by an increase in provision for income taxes.


Tenant Concentration


The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties, avoiding dependence on any single property, and a large tenant base.  At September 30, 2011, the Company’s five largest tenants were The Home Depot, TJX Companies, Wal-Mart, Sears Holdings and Best Buy, which represented approximately 3.1%, 2.9%, 2.6%, 2.2% and 1.6%, respectively, of the Company’s annualized base rental revenues including the proportionate share of base rental revenues from properties in which the Company has less than a 100% economic interest.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company’s capital resources include accessing the public debt and equity capital markets, mortgage and construction loan financing and immediate access to unsecured revolving credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of approximately $1.7 billion.


The Company’s cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in millions):

Operating Activities


The Company anticipates that cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facilities, issuance of equity and public debt, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company.  Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was primarily attributable to (i) cash flow from the diverse portfolio of rental properties, (ii) the acquisition of operating properties during 2011 and 2010, (iii) new leasing, expansion and re-tenanting of core portfolio properties and (iv) distributions from the Company’s joint venture programs.


Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were approximately $367.9 million, as compared to approximately $358.2 million for the comparable period in 2010.  The increase of approximately $9.7 million is primarily attributable to an increase in distributions from joint ventures and other real estate investments partially offset by changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing of payments.


Investing Activities


Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30 2011, were approximately $79.5 million, as compared to approximately $74.1 million for the comparable period in 2010.  This increase of approximately $5.4 million resulted primarily from (i) an increase in proceeds from the sale/repayments of marketable securities of approximately $172.0 million, primarily resulting from the sale of the Valad notes, (ii) an increase in reimbursements of advances to other real estate investments of approximately $44.0 million, (iii) a decrease in investments and advances to real estate joint ventures of approximately $24.1 million, (iv) a decrease in investments in marketable securities of approximately $9.0 million and (v) a decrease in acquisition of and improvements to real estate under development of approximately $7.0 million, partially offset by (vi) a decrease in proceeds from the sale of operating properties of approximately $155.9 million, (vii) an increase in acquisition of and improvements to operating real estate of approximately $64.2 million and (viii) a decrease in reimbursements of advances to real estate joint ventures of approximately $30.4 million.



28




Acquisitions of and Improvements to Operating Real Estate -


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company expended approximately $169.4 million towards acquisition of and improvements to operating real estate including $52.8 million expended in connection with redevelopments and re-tenanting projects as described below.


The Company has an ongoing program to reformat and re-tenant its properties to maintain or enhance its competitive position in the marketplace.  The Company anticipates its total capital commitment toward these and other redevelopment projects during 2011 will be approximately $60 million to $70 million.  The funding of these capital requirements will be provided by cash flow from operating activities and availability under the Company’s revolving lines of credit.


Investments and Advances to Joint Ventures -


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company expended approximately $90.7 million for investments and advances to real estate joint ventures, which is primarily related to the acquisition of and improvements to properties within the joint ventures, and received approximately $44.9 million from reimbursements of advances to real estate joint ventures.  


Acquisitions of and Improvements to Real Estate Under Development –


The Company is engaged in ground-up development projects which will be held as long-term investments by the Company.  The ground-up development projects generally have significant pre-leasing prior to the commencement of construction. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had in progress a total of four ground-up development projects, consisting of (i) two located in the U.S., (ii) one located in Mexico and (iii) one located in Chile.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company expended approximately $26.9 million in connection with construction costs relating to its ground-up development projects.  The Company anticipates its total capital commitment during 2011 toward these and other development projects will be approximately $30 million to $35 million.  The proceeds from unfunded construction loan commitments and availability under the Company’s revolving lines of credit are expected to be sufficient to fund these anticipated capital requirements.


Financing Activities


Cash flows used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were approximately $392.4 million, as compared to approximately $396.2 million for the comparable period in 2010.  This change of approximately $3.8 million resulted primarily from (i) a decrease of approximately $383.7 million in repayments of unsecured term loans/notes, (ii) a decrease in principal payments of approximately $219.7 million, (iii) a decrease in redemption of noncontrolling interests of approximately $47.9 million and (iv) a decrease of approximately $3.9 million in net borrowings/repayments under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facilities, partially offset by (v) a decrease of  $449.7 million in proceeds from issuance of unsecured term loans/notes, (vi) a decrease in proceeds from issuance of stock of approximately $166.3 million and (vii) an increase in dividends paid of approximately $35.5 million.


Debt maturities for the remainder of 2011 consist of: $4.6 million of consolidated debt; $232.4 million of unconsolidated joint venture debt and $111.7 million of debt on properties included in the Company’s preferred equity program, assuming the utilization of extension options where available.   The 2011 consolidated debt maturities are anticipated to be repaid with operating cash flows, borrowings from the Company’s credit facilities (which at September 30, 2011 had approximately $1.7 billion available) and debt refinancing.  The 2011 unconsolidated joint venture and preferred equity debt maturities are anticipated to be repaid through debt refinancing and partner capital contributions, as deemed appropriate.


The Company had $1.5 billion unsecured U.S. revolving credit facility (the "U.S. Credit Facility") with a group of banks, which was scheduled to expire in October 2012.  This credit facility had made available funds to finance general corporate purposes, including (i) property acquisitions, (ii) investments in the Company’s institutional real estate management programs, (iii) development and redevelopment costs, and (iv) any short-term working capital requirements, including managing the Company’s debt maturities.  Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Facility accrued at LIBOR plus 0.425%.  As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $135.4 million outstanding balance under this credit facility and approximately $24.3 million appropriated for letters of credit. This facility was repaid and terminated in October 2011, with the establishment of a new credit facility, as described below.

The Company also had a Canadian denominated (“CAD”) $250.0 million unsecured credit facility with a group of banks.  This facility bore interest at the CDOR Rate, as defined, plus 0.425% and was scheduled to expire in March 2012.  A facility fee of 0.15% per annum was payable quarterly in arrears.  This facility also permitted U.S. dollar denominated borrowings.  Proceeds from this facility were used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of Canadian denominated investments.  As of September 30, 2011, there was no outstanding balance under this credit facility. The Canadian facility covenants are the same as the U.S. Credit Facility covenants described above. This facility was terminated in October 2011, with the establishment of a new credit facility as described below.


During October 2011, the Company established a new $1.75 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to expire in October 2015 and has a one-year extension option.  This credit facility, which replaced the Company’s $1.5 billion unsecured U.S. Credit Facility and CAD $250.0 million credit facility, provides funds to finance general corporate purposes, including (i) property acquisitions, (ii) investments in the Company’s institutional management programs, (iii) development and redevelopment costs and (iv) any short-term working capital requirements. Interest on borrowings under the New Credit Facility accrues at LIBOR plus 1.05% and fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings and has a facility fee of 0.20% per annum. As part of this New Credit Facility, the Company has a competitive bid option whereby the Company could auction up to $875.0 million of its requested borrowings to the bank group. This competitive bid option provides the Company the opportunity to obtain pricing below the currently stated spread. In addition, as part of the New Credit Facility, the Company has a $500.0 million sub-limit which provides it the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies such as Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or Euros.  Pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured and secured debt and (ii) minimum interest and fixed coverage ratios. For a full description of the New Credit Facility, refer to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 27, 2011, filed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 2, 2011.


During March 2008, the Company obtained a MXP 1.0 billion term loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.58%, subject to change in accordance with the Company’s senior debt ratings and is scheduled to mature in March 2013.  The Company utilized proceeds from this term loan to fully repay the outstanding balance of its MXP 500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was terminated by the Company. Remaining proceeds from this term loan were used for funding MXP denominated investments.  As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on this term loan was MXP 1.0 billion (approximately USD $74.3 million).  The Mexican term loan covenants are the same as the U.S. and Canadian Credit Facilities covenants described above.


The Company has a Medium Term Notes (“MTN”) program pursuant to which it may, from time-to-time, offer for sale its senior unsecured debt for any general corporate purposes, including (i) funding specific liquidity requirements in its business, including property acquisitions, development and redevelopment costs and (ii) managing the Company’s debt maturities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid the $88.0 million outstanding on its 4.82% medium-term notes, which matured in August 2011.  


During April 2009, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, which is effective for a term of three years, for the future unlimited offerings, from time-to-time, of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock and common stock warrants.  


The Company, from time to time, repurchases shares of its common stock in amounts that offset new issuances of common shares in connection with the exercise of stock options or the issuance of restricted stock awards. These repurchases may occur in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 213,601 shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $4.0 million, of which $3.4 million was provided to the Company from options exercised.


In addition to the public equity and debt markets as capital sources, the Company may, from time-to-time, obtain mortgage financing on selected properties and construction loans to partially fund the capital needs of its ground-up development projects.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had over 425 unencumbered property interests in its portfolio.


In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its stockholders. These dividends will be paid from operating cash flows. The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy on a quarterly basis as they monitor sources of capital and evaluate the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals.  Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate.  Cash dividends paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $265.7 million and $230.2 million, respectively.  


Although the Company receives substantially all of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it generally intends to continue paying dividends quarterly.  Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments.  The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per common share which was paid on October 17, 2011 to shareholders of record on October 5, 2011.  On November 2, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per common share payable to shareholders of record on January 4, 2012.  This dividend will be paid on January 17, 2012.
