Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report on Form 10-K, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, 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. We intend 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 include this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our 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 our 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, (i) disruptions in financial markets, (ii) general economic and local real estate conditions, (iii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in their business, (iv) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt, or other sources of financing on favorable terms, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (vi) the level and volatility of interest rates, (vii) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities, (viii) the ability to dispose properties, (ix) changes in expected development activity, (x) increases in operating costs, (xi) tax matters, including failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust, and (xii) investments through real estate joint ventures and partnerships, which involve risks not present in investments in which we are the sole investor. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized. For further discussion of the factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future results and financial condition, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

PART I

ITEM 1. Business
General Development of Business.    Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, for information on certain recent developments of the Company.
Financial Information about Segments.    We are in the business of owning, managing and developing retail shopping centers. As each of our centers has similar characteristics and amenities, our operations have been aggregated into one reportable segment. See the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding reportable segments.
Narrative Description of Business.    At December 31, 2013, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 268 developed income-producing properties and two properties under various stages of construction and development, which are located in 21 states spanning the country from coast to coast. The portfolio of properties contains approximately 49.9 million square feet of gross leasable area that is either owned by us or others.
We also owned interests in 35 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 26.4 million square feet.
At December 31, 2013, we employed 316 full-time persons; our principal executive offices are located at 2600 Citadel Plaza Drive, Houston, Texas 77008; and our phone number is (713) 866-6000. We also have 10 regional offices located in various parts of the United States (“U.S.”).

Investment and Operating Strategy.    Our goal is to remain a leader in owning and operating top-tier neighborhood and community shopping centers in certain markets of the U.S. We expect to achieve this goal by strategically focusing on core operating fundamentals through our decentralized operating platform built on local expertise in leasing and property management, selective redevelopment of the existing portfolio of properties, disciplined growth from strategic acquisitions and new developments, and disposition of assets that no longer meet our ownership criteria. Proceeds from dispositions may be recycled by repaying debt, purchasing new assets or reinvesting in currently owned assets or for other corporate purposes. We remain committed to maintaining a conservatively leveraged balance sheet, a well-staggered debt maturity schedule and strong credit agency ratings.
We may either purchase or lease income-producing properties in the future, and may also participate with other entities in property ownership through partnerships, joint ventures or similar types of co-ownership.
We may invest in mortgages; however, we have traditionally invested in first mortgages to real estate joint ventures or partnerships in which we own an equity interest or to obtain control over a real estate asset that we desire to own. We may also invest in securities of other issuers for the purpose, among others, of exercising control over such entities, subject to the gross income and asset tests necessary for REIT qualification.
In acquiring and developing properties, we attempt to accumulate enough properties in a geographic area to allow for the establishment of a regional office, which enables us to obtain in-depth knowledge of the market from a leasing perspective and to have easy access to the property and our tenants from a management viewpoint.
We expect to continue our focus on the future growth of the portfolio in neighborhood and community shopping centers in markets where we currently operate and may expand to other markets throughout the U.S. Our markets of interest reflect high income and job growth, as well as high barriers-to-entry. Our attention is also focused on high quality, supermarket-anchored and necessity-based centers.
Diversification from both a geographic and tenancy perspective is a critical component of our operating strategy. We continue to seek opportunities outside the Texas market, where approximately 28.2% of the building square footage of our properties is located, up from 28.1% in 2012. With respect to tenant diversification, our two largest tenants, The Kroger Co. and TJX Companies, Inc., accounted for 3.8% and 2.5%, respectively, of our total rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. No other tenant accounted for more than 1.9% of our total rental revenues. Our anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and other retailers or service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type goods and services. We believe the stability of our anchor tenants, combined with convenient locations, attractive and well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix, should ensure the long-term success of our merchants and the viability of our portfolio.
Strategically, we strive to finance our growth and working capital needs in a conservative manner, including managing our debt maturities. Our senior debt credit ratings were BBB from Standard & Poors and Baa2 from Moody’s Investor Services with both projecting a stable outlook as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. We intend to maintain a conservative approach to managing our balance sheet, which, in turn, gives us many options for raising debt or equity capital when needed. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), not based on funds from operations, was 2.10 to 1 and 1.59 to 1, respectively. Our debt to total assets before depreciation ratio was 43.5% and 42.2% at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Our policies with respect to the investment and operating strategies discussed above are periodically reviewed by our Board of Trust Managers and may be modified without a vote of our shareholders.
Location of Properties.    Our properties are located in 21 states, primarily throughout the southern half of the country. As of December 31, 2013, we have 270 properties (including two properties under development) that were owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interests in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. Total revenues less operating expenses and real estate taxes from continuing operations ("net operating income from continuing operations") generated by our properties located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 19.1% of total net operating income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, and an additional 8.4% of net operating income from continuing operations is generated from properties that are located in other parts of Texas. We also have 35 parcels of land held for development, nine of which are located in Houston and its surrounding areas and 11 of which are located in other parts of Texas. Because our investments in Houston and its surrounding areas, as well as in other parts of Texas, the Houston and Texas economies affect, to a large degree, our business and operations.

Table of Contents

Competition.    We compete with numerous other developers and real estate companies (both public and private), financial institutions and other investors engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of shopping centers in our trade areas. This results in competition for the acquisition of both existing income-producing properties and prime development sites. Competition for these acquisitions may also increase as credit availability improves resulting in additional pricing pressure.
We also compete for tenants to occupy the space that is developed, acquired and managed by our competitors. The principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, price, anchor tenants and maintenance of properties. We believe our key competitive advantages include the favorable locations of our properties, knowledge of markets and customer bases, our ability to provide a retailer with multiple locations with quality anchor tenants and the practice of continuous maintenance and renovation of our properties.
Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust.    As of December 31, 2013, we met the qualification requirements of a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. As a result, we will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, with the exception of our taxable REIT subsidiary.
Materials Available on Our Website.    Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, as well as Reports on Forms 3, 4, 5 and SC 13G regarding our officers, trust managers or 10% beneficial owners, filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a), 15(d) or 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge through our website (www.weingarten.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file the material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. We have also made available on our website copies of our Audit Committee Charter, Management Development and Executive Compensation Committee Charter, Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, Code of Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethical Conduct for Officers and Senior Financial Associates and Governance Policies. In the event of any changes to these charters, codes or policies, changed copies will also be made available on our website. You may also read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549 or the SEC’s Internet site at www.sec.gov.

Financial Information.    Additional financial information concerning us is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements located in Item 8 herein.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
The risks described below could materially and adversely affect our shareholders and our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. In addition to these risks, our operations may also be affected by additional factors not presently known or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.
Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our liquidity and have other adverse effects on us and the market price of our common shares of beneficial interest.
The U.S. and global equity and credit markets have experienced and may in the future experience significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which could cause market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances could materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases result in the unavailability of certain types of financing. Uncertainties in the equity and credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms or at all, which may negatively affect our ability to complete dispositions, form joint ventures or refinance our debt. A prolonged downturn in the equity or credit markets could cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and require us to adjust our business plan accordingly. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to sell properties or adversely affect the price we receive for properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. These events in the equity and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) or preferred shares. These disruptions in the financial markets also may have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common shares and preferred shares and other adverse effects on us or the economy generally. There can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will continue to restore consumer confidence, maintain stabilized markets or continue to provide the availability of equity or credit financing.

Table of Contents

Among the market conditions that may affect the value of our common shares and preferred shares and access to the capital markets are the following:
The attractiveness of REIT securities as compared to other securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, fixed income equity securities and debt securities;
Changes in revenues or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs;
The degree of interest held by institutional investors;
The market's perception of the quality of our assets and our growth potential;
The ability of our tenants to pay rent to us and meet their other obligations to us under current lease terms;
Our ability to re-lease space as leases expire;
Our ability to refinance our indebtedness as it matures;
Actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;
Any changes in our distribution policy;
Any future issuances of equity securities;
Strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
General market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the real estate industry; and
Domestic and international economic and political factors unrelated to our performance.
The volatility in the stock market can create price and volume fluctuations that may not necessarily be comparable to operating performance.
The economic performance and value of our shopping centers depend on many factors, each of which could have an adverse impact on our cash flows and operating results.
The economic performance and value of our properties can be affected by many factors, including the following:
Changes in the national, regional and local economic climate;
Changes in environmental regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, legislation on global warming;
Local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;
The attractiveness of the properties to tenants;
Competition from other available space;
Competition for our tenants from Internet sales;
Our ability to provide adequate management services and to maintain our properties;
Increased operating costs, if these costs cannot be passed through to tenants;
The cost of periodically renovating, repairing and releasing spaces;
The consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the U.S.;
Our ability to secure adequate insurance;
Fluctuations in interest rates;
Changes in real estate taxes and other expenses; and
Availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Table of Contents

Our properties consist primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers and, therefore, our performance is linked to general economic conditions in the market for retail space. The market for retail space has been and may continue to be adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies where our properties are located, the adverse financial condition of some large retail companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing consumer purchases through the Internet. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to affect market rents for retail space. In addition, we may face challenges in the management and maintenance of the properties or encounter increased operating costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, which may make our properties unattractive to tenants.
We have a high concentration of properties in the state of Texas, and adverse economic or other conditions in that area could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are particularly susceptible to adverse economic or other conditions in the state of Texas, including increased unemployment, industry slowdowns, business layoffs or downsizing, decrease consumer confidence, relocations of businesses, changes in demographics, increases in real estate and other taxes, increase regulations and natural disasters, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our acquisition activities may not produce the cash flows that we expect and may be limited by competitive pressures or other factors.
We intend to acquire existing commercial properties to the extent that suitable acquisitions can be made on advantageous terms. Acquisitions of commercial properties involve risks such as:
Our estimates on expected occupancy and rental rates may differ from actual conditions;
Our estimates of the costs of any redevelopment or repositioning of acquired properties may prove to be inaccurate;
We may be unable to operate successfully in new markets where acquired properties are located, due to a lack of market knowledge or understanding of local economies;
We may be unable to successfully integrate new properties into our existing operations; or
We may have difficulty obtaining financing on acceptable terms or paying the operating expenses and debt service associated with acquired properties prior to sufficient occupancy.
In addition, we may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on advantageous terms due to competition for such properties with others engaged in real estate investment. Our inability to successfully acquire new properties may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Turmoil in capital markets could adversely impact acquisition activities and pricing of real estate assets.
Volatility in the capital markets could impact the availability of debt financing due to numerous factors, including the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies. These factors directly affect a lender’s ability to provide debt financing as well as increase the cost of available debt financing. As a result, we may not be able to obtain favorable debt financing in the future or at all. This may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns, which may adversely affect our results of operations and distributions to shareholders. Furthermore, any turmoil in the capital markets could adversely impact the overall amount of capital available to invest in real estate, which may result in price or value decreases of real estate assets.

Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges.
Periodically, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate assets, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if the estimate of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flows without interest charges to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property. In estimating cash flows, we consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If we are evaluating the potential sale of an asset or development alternatives, the undiscounted future cash flows consider the most likely course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. If market conditions deteriorate or management’s plans for certain properties change, additional write-downs could be required in the future and any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.
Reduction of rental income would adversely affect our profitability, our ability to meet our debt obligations and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
The substantial majority of our income is derived from rental income from real property. As a result, our performance depends on our ability to collect rent from tenants. Our income and funds for distribution would be negatively affected if a significant number of our tenants, or any of our major tenants (as discussed in more detail below):
Delay lease commencements;
Decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;
Fail to make rental payments when due; or
Close stores or declare bankruptcy.
Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenants’ lease and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases. In addition, lease terminations by an anchor tenant or a failure by that anchor tenant to occupy the premises could also result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping centers under the terms of some leases. In these events, we cannot be sure that any tenant whose lease expires will renew that lease or that we will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms. Furthermore, certain costs remain fixed even though a property may not be fully occupied. The loss of rental revenues from a number of our tenants and our inability to replace such tenants, particularly in the case of a substantial tenant with leases in multiple locations, may adversely affect our profitability, our ability to meet debt and other financial obligations and our ability to make distributions to the shareholders.
Adverse effects on the success and stability of our anchor tenants, could lead to reductions of rental income.
Our rental income could be adversely affected in the event of a downturn in the business, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of any anchor store or anchor tenant. Anchor tenants generally occupy large amounts of square footage, pay a significant portion of the total rents at a property and contribute to the success of other tenants by drawing significant numbers of customers to a property. The closing of one or more anchor stores at a property could adversely affect that property and result in lease terminations or reductions in rent from other tenants, whose leases may permit termination or rent reduction in those circumstances or whose own operations may suffer as a result. Furthermore, tenant demand for certain of our anchor spaces may decrease, and as a result, we may see an increase in vacancy and/or a decrease in rents for those spaces, which could have a negative impact to our rental income.

Table of Contents

We face significant competition in the leasing market, which may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of retail properties, many of which own properties similar to, and in the same market sectors as, our properties. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants, or we may be forced to reduce rental rates in order to attract new tenants and retain existing tenants when their leases expire.
Also, if our competitors develop additional retail properties in locations near our properties, there may be increased competition for customer traffic and creditworthiness tenants, which may result in fewer tenants or decreased cash flows from tenants, or both, and may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise made. Our tenants also face increasing competition from other forms of marketing of goods, such as direct mail and Internet marketing. As a result, our financial condition and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected.
We may be unable to collect balances due from tenants in bankruptcy.
A tenant that files for bankruptcy protection may not continue to pay us rent. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from the tenant or the lease guarantor, or their property, unless the bankruptcy court permits us to do so. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims it holds, if at all.
Our development and construction activities could adversely affect our operating results.
We intend to continue the selective development and construction of retail properties in accordance with our development and underwriting policies as opportunities arise. Our development and construction activities include risks that:
We may abandon development opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility;
Construction costs of a project may exceed our original estimates;
Occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable;
Rental rates could be less than projected;
Project completion may be delayed because of a number of factors, including weather, labor disruptions, construction delays or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, adverse economic conditions, acts of terror or other acts of violence, or acts of God (such as fires, earthquakes or floods);
Financing may not be available to us on favorable terms for development of a property; and
We may not complete construction and lease-up on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs.
Additionally, the time frame required for development, construction and lease-up of these properties means that we may have to wait years for a significant cash return. If any of the above events occur, the development of properties may hinder our growth and have an adverse effect on our results of operations, including additional impairment charges. Also, new development activities, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.
There is a lack of operating history with respect to any recent acquisitions and development of properties, and we may not succeed in the integration or management of additional properties.
These properties may have characteristics or deficiencies currently unknown to us that affect their value or revenue potential. It is also possible that the operating performance of these properties may decline under our management. As we acquire additional properties, we will be subject to risks associated with managing new properties, including lease-up and tenant retention. In addition, our ability to manage our growth effectively will require us to successfully integrate any new acquisitions into our existing management structure. We may not succeed with this integration or effectively manage additional properties. Also, newly acquired properties may not perform as expected.

Real estate property investments are illiquid, and therefore, we may not be able to dispose of properties when desirable or on favorable terms.
Real estate property investments generally cannot be disposed of quickly. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code imposes restrictions on the ability of a REIT to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other types of real estate companies. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties, and we cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Therefore, we may not be able to quickly vary our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms, which could cause us to incur extended losses and reduce our cash flows and adversely affect distributions to shareholders.
As part of our capital recycling program, we intend to sell our non-core assets and may not be able to recover our investments, which may result in losses to us.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to recover the current carrying amount of all of our owned and partially owned non-core properties and investments in the future. Our failure to do so would require us to recognize impairment charges in the period in which we reached that conclusion, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our cash flows and operating results could be adversely affected by required payments of debt or related interest and other risks of our debt financing.
We are generally subject to risks associated with debt financing. These risks include:
Our cash flow may not satisfy required payments of principal and interest;
We may not be able to refinance existing indebtedness on our properties as necessary or the terms of the refinancing may be less favorable to us than the terms of existing debt;
Required debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property declines;
Debt service obligations could reduce funds available for distribution to our shareholders and funds available for capital investment;
Any default on our indebtedness could result in acceleration of those obligations and possible loss of property to foreclosure; and
The risk that necessary capital expenditures for purposes such as re-leasing space cannot be financed on favorable terms.
If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we cannot make the mortgage payments, we may have to surrender the property to the lender with a consequent loss of any prospective income and equity value from such property. Any of these risks can place strains on our cash flows, reduce our ability to grow and adversely affect our results of operations.
Credit ratings may not reflect all the risks of an investment in our debt or preferred shares and rating changes could adversely effect our revolving credit facility.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts and preferred dividends when due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of our debt and preferred shares. Credit ratings may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the rating agency at its sole discretion. Additionally, our revolving credit facility fees are based on our credit ratings. We do not undertake any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of our debt or preferred shares of any change in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, and could significantly reduce the market price of our publicly-traded securities.

Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flows and adversely affect the market price of our debt and preferred shares.
We have indebtedness with interest rates that vary depending on market indices. Also, our credit facilities bear interest at variable rates. We may incur variable-rate debt in the future. Increases in interest rates on variable-rate debt would increase our interest expense, which would negatively affect net income and cash available for payment of our debt obligations and distributions to shareholders. In addition, an increase in interest rates could adversely affect the market value of our outstanding debt and preferred shares, as well as increase the cost of refinancing and the issuance of new debt or securities.
Our financial condition could be adversely affected by financial covenants.
Our credit facilities and public debt indentures under which our indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, restrictions on our ability to sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants could limit our ability to obtain additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities or transactions that would provide substantial return to our shareholders. In addition, a breach of these covenants could cause a default under or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Property ownership through real estate partnerships and joint ventures could limit our control of those investments and reduce our expected return.
Real estate partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our partner or co-venturer might become bankrupt, that our partner or co-venturer might at any time have different interests or goals than us, and that our partner or co-venturer may take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives. Other risks of joint venture investments could include impasse on decisions, such as a sale or refinance, because neither our partner or co-venturer nor we would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. These factors could limit the return that we receive from those investments or cause our cash flows to be lower than our estimates.
Volatility in market and economic conditions may impact our partners’ ability to perform in accordance with our real estate joint venture and partnership agreements resulting in a change in control or the liquidation plans of its underlying properties.
Changes in control of our investments could result if any reconsideration events occur, such as amendments to our real estate joint venture and partnership agreements, changes in debt guarantees or changes in ownership due to required capital contributions. Any changes in control will result in the revaluation of our investments to fair value, which could lead to an impairment. We are unable to predict whether, or to what extent, a change in control may result or the impact of adverse market and economic conditions may have to our partners.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular corporation and could have significant tax liability.
We intend to operate in a manner that allows us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, REIT qualification requires us to satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual or quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are a limited number of judicial or administrative interpretations. Our status as a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. Accordingly, it is not certain we will be able to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Even a technical or inadvertent violation of the REIT requirements could jeopardize our REIT qualification. Furthermore, Congress or the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) might change the tax laws or regulations and the courts might issue new rulings, in each case potentially having retroactive effect that could make it more difficult or impossible for us to qualify as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, then:
We would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which, among other things, means that we would be unable to deduct distributions to our shareholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;
Any resulting tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to shareholders, and could force us to liquidate assets or take other actions that could have a detrimental effect on our operating results; and

Table of Contents

Unless we were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lost our qualification, and our cash available for distribution to our shareholders would, therefore, be reduced for each of the years in which we do not qualify as a REIT.
Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property either directly or at the level of our subsidiaries. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
Compliance with REIT requirements may negatively affect our operating decisions.
To maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must meet certain requirements, on an ongoing basis, including requirements regarding our sources of income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our common shares. We may also be required to make distributions to our shareholders when we do not have funds readily available for distribution or at times when our funds are otherwise needed to fund capital expenditures.
As a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our shareholders. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our income for financial reporting purposes, or our net taxable income may be greater than our cash flow available for distribution to our shareholders. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow funds, sell a portion of our securities at unfavorable prices or find other sources of funds in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.
Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates.
Effective January 1, 2013, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for qualified dividends paid to individual U.S. shareholders is 20%. Unlike dividends received from a corporation that is not a REIT, our distributions to individual shareholders generally are not eligible for the reduced rates and are, consequently, taxed at ordinary income rates.
Our common shares dividend policy may change in the future.
The timing, amount and composition of any future dividends to our common shareholders will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Trust Managers and will depend upon a variety of factors as to which no assurance can be given. Our ability to make dividends to our common shareholders depends, in part, upon our operating results, overall financial condition, the performance of our portfolio (including occupancy levels and rental rates), our capital requirements, access to capital, our ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT and general business and market conditions. Any change in our dividend policy could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.
Our declaration of trust contains certain limitations associated with share ownership.
To maintain our status as a REIT, our declaration of trust prohibits any individual from owning more than 9.8% of our outstanding common shares. This restriction is likely to discourage third parties from acquiring control without the consent of our Board of Trust Managers, even if a change in control were in the best interests of our shareholders.
Also, our declaration of trust requires the approval of the holders of 80% of our outstanding common shares and the approval by not less than 50% of the outstanding common shares not owned by any related person (a person owning more than 50% of our common shares) to consummate a business transaction such as a merger. There are certain exceptions to this requirement; however, the 80% approval requirement could make it difficult for us to consummate a business transaction even if it is in the best interest of our shareholders.

Table of Contents

There may be future dilution of our common shares.
Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trust Managers to, among other things, issue additional common or preferred shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, without shareholder approval. We may issue such additional equity or convertible securities to raise additional capital. The issuance of any additional common or preferred shares or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to holders of our common shares. Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted shares, options, or warrants to purchase our common shares in the future and those options or warrants are exercised or the restricted shares vest, our shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of our common shares have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase a pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution to our shareholders.
We may issue debt and equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, any of which may be senior to our common shares as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our common shares.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into unsecured or secured debt or debt-like financings, or by issuing additional debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes, secured debt, guarantees, preferred shares, hybrid securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt and preferred securities would receive distributions of our available assets before distributions to the holders of our common shares. Because any decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings may be influenced by market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future financings. Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future.
Loss of our key personnel could adversely affect the value of our common shares and operations.
We are dependent on the efforts of our key executive personnel. Although we believe qualified replacements could be found for these key executives, the loss of their services could adversely affect the value of our common shares and operations.
Changes in accounting standards may adversely impact our reported financial condition and results of operations.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in conjunction with the SEC, has several key projects on their agenda that could impact how we currently account for our material transactions, including lease accounting and other convergence projects with the International Accounting Standards Board. We believe that these and other potential proposals could have varying degrees of impact on us ranging from minimal to material. At this time, we are unable to predict with certainty which, if any, proposals may be passed or what level of impact any such proposal could have on us.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make unintended expenditures that adversely affect our cash flows.
All of our properties are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities,” but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers, and noncompliance could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. While the tenants to whom we lease properties are obligated by law to comply with the ADA provisions, and typically under tenant leases are obligated to cover costs associated with compliance, if required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated, or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basis than anticipated, the ability of these tenants to cover costs could be adversely affected. As a result, we could be required to expend funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, we are required to operate the properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to the properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements, and these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet the financial obligations and make distributions to our shareholders.

Table of Contents

An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the policies on our properties could subject us to lost capital or revenue on those properties.
Under the terms and conditions of the leases currently in force on our properties, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, air, water, land or property, on or off the premises, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from our negligence or intentional misconduct or that of our agents. Tenants are generally required, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and tenant's property damage insurance policies. We have obtained comprehensive liability, casualty, property, flood and rental loss insurance policies on our properties. All of these policies may involve substantial deductibles and certain exclusions. In addition, we cannot assure the shareholders that the tenants will properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles. Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we could lose all or part of our capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to make distributions to the shareholders.
We may be subject to liability under environmental laws, ordinances and regulations.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be considered an owner or operator of real property or have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. As a result, we may become liable for the costs of disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances released on or in our property. We may also be liable for certain other potential costs that could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). We may incur such liability whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.
Natural disasters and severe weather conditions could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and operating results.
Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, such as global warming, may have added to the unpredictability and frequency of natural disasters in some parts of the world and created additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures. Our operations are located in many areas that are subject to natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fires. The occurrence of natural disasters or severe weather conditions can delay new development projects, increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increase future property insurance costs, and negatively impact the tenant demand for lease space. If insurance is unavailable to us or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses from these events, our earnings, liquidity or capital resources could be adversely affected.
Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures.
Despite the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our internal information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions.
We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks, loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.
Our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks, including attempts to gain unauthorized access to our confidential data and other electronic security breaches. Such cybersecurity attacks can range from individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems to more sophisticated security threats. While we employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats including a defense in depth strategy of malware detection, password protection, backup servers and monthly penetration testing, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cybersecurity attack. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our systems, both internal and those we have outsourced. Cybersecurity incidents could compromise the confidential information of our tenants, employees and third-party vendors and disrupt and affect the efficiency of our business operations.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2013, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 268 developed income-producing centers and two centers under various stages of construction and development, which are located in 21 states spanning the country from coast to coast.
During 2013, we acquired three centers located in Florida and Texas and a 51% owned unconsolidated real estate joint venture acquired a real estate asset in Washington. In addition to this ongoing acquisition activity, we completed two additional transactions with joint venture partners in which we acquired our partner’s 50% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a California property, and we received cash, real property and our partner’s interest in two consolidated joint ventures in exchange for our interest in two unconsolidated joint ventures and the payment of a note receivable. In all, our share of the gross purchase price for these transactions totaled approximately $247.5 million.
During 2013, we sold an interest in four unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, 20 centers and other property and five real estate assets through our interests in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Of the 20 centers disposed, nine were located in Texas, three each in North Carolina and Florida; two in New Mexico and one each in California, Nevada and Tennessee. Our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds from these transactions totaled $285.1 million.
Operating Centers.    In 2013, no single center accounted for more than 3.1% of our total assets or 2.2% of revenues. The five largest centers, in the aggregate, represented approximately 9.5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013; otherwise, none of the remaining centers accounted for more than 1.6% of our revenues during the same period.
The majority of our centers are owned directly by us (subject in some cases to mortgages), although our interests in some centers are held indirectly through interests in real estate joint ventures or under long-term leases. In our opinion, our centers are well maintained and in good repair, suitable for their intended uses, and adequately covered by insurance.
We participate in 43 real estate joint ventures or partnerships that hold an interest in 103 of our centers. Our ownership interest ranges from 15% to 99%; we are normally the managing or operating partner and receive a fee for acting in this capacity.
We may use a DownREIT operating partnership structure in the acquisition of some real estate centers. In these transactions, a fair value purchase price is agreed upon between us, as general partner of the DownREIT, and the seller where the seller receives operating partnership units in exchange for some or all of its ownership interest in the center. Each operating partnership unit is the equivalent of one of our common shares. These units generally give our partners the right to put their limited partnership units to us on or after the first anniversary of the entity’s formation. We may acquire these limited partnership units for either cash or a fixed number of our common shares at our discretion.
As of December 31, 2013, the weighted average occupancy rate for our centers was 94.9% compared to 93.7% as of December 31, 2012. The average effective annual rental per square foot was approximately $15.66 in 2013, $15.14 in 2012, $13.79 in 2011, $13.60 in 2010 and $13.31 in 2009 for our centers.

Our centers are primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers that typically range in size from 50,000 to 650,000 square feet of building area, as distinguished from large regional enclosed malls and small strip centers, which generally contain 5,000 to 25,000 square feet. None of the centers have climatized common areas, but are designed to allow retail customers to park their automobiles in close proximity to any retailer in the center. Our centers are customarily constructed of masonry, steel and glass, and all have lighted, paved parking areas, which are typically landscaped with berms, trees and shrubs. They are generally located at major intersections in close proximity to neighborhoods that have existing populations sufficient to support retail activities of the types conducted in our centers.
We actively embrace various initiatives that support the future of environmentally friendly shopping centers. Our primary areas of focus include energy efficiency, waste recycling, water conservation and construction/development best practices. We recognize there are economic, environmental and social implications associated with the full range of our sustainability efforts, and that a commitment to incorporating sustainable practices will add long-term value to our centers.
We have approximately 6,300 separate leases with 4,200 different tenants. Included among our top revenue-producing tenants are: The Kroger Co., TJX Companies, Inc., Ross Stores, Inc., H-E-B, Safeway Inc., Office Depot, Inc., PetSmart, Inc., Bed, Bath & Beyond Inc., Home Depot, Inc., Best Buy, Inc., The Sports Authority, Inc. and Whole Foods Market, Inc. The diversity of our tenant base is also evidenced by the fact that our largest tenant, The Kroger Co., accounted for only 3.8% of rental revenues during 2013.
Our center leases have lease terms generally ranging from three to five years for tenant space under 5,000 square feet and from 10 to 25 years for tenant space over 10,000 square feet. Leases with primary lease terms in excess of 10 years, generally for anchor and out-parcels, frequently contain renewal options which allow the tenant to extend the term of the lease for one or more additional periods, with each of these periods generally being of a shorter duration than the primary lease term. The rental rates paid during a renewal period are generally based upon the rental rate for the primary term; sometimes adjusted for inflation, market conditions or an amount of the tenant’s sales during the primary term.

Most of our leases provide for the monthly payment in advance of fixed minimum rentals, the tenants’ pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance (including fire and extended coverage, rent insurance and liability insurance) and common area maintenance for the center (based on estimates of the costs for these items). Some of the lease agreements with major or national tenants contain modifications of these basic provisions, such as placing a maximum contribution on their pro rata share of recoverable charges, in view of the financial condition, stability or desirability of those tenants. Certain leases also provide for the payment of additional rentals based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Utilities are generally paid directly by tenants except where common metering exists with respect to a center. In this case, we make payments for the utilities, and the tenants reimburse us on a monthly basis. Generally, our leases only permit the tenant to assign or sublease its space with our prior written consent, which we agree not to unreasonably withhold. Our major and national tenants, however, generally have greater assignment and sublease rights that may not require our consent. Where a tenant is granted the right to assign its space, the lease agreement generally provides that the original lessee will remain liable for the payment of the lease obligations under that lease agreement. Most of our leases require the tenant to use its space for the purpose designated in its lease agreement and to operate its business on a continuous basis.
In the ordinary course of business, we have tenants who cease making payments under their leases or who file for bankruptcy protection. We are unable to predict or forecast the timing of store closings or unexpected vacancies. While we believe the effect of this will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity due to the significant diversification of our tenant base, the uncertainty in the economy and commercial credit markets could have a negative impact on us.
New Development Centers.    At December 31, 2013, we had two properties in various stages of development and have funded $71.5 million to date on these projects. We estimate our aggregate net investment upon completion to be $97.5 million. These properties are projected to have an average stabilized return on investment of approximately 8.0% when completed. Upon completion, the square footage to be added to the portfolio and the estimated cost per square footage of these two properties are as follows:

Unimproved Land.    At December 31, 2013, we owned, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, 35 parcels of unimproved land consisting of approximately 26.4 million square feet. These land parcels include approximately 1.6 million square feet of land adjacent to certain of our existing operating centers, which may be used for expansion of these centers, as well as approximately 24.8 million square feet of land, which may be used for new development. Almost all of the unimproved land is served by roads and utilities and are suitable for development as centers and other retail space, and we intend to emphasize the development of these parcels for such purpose. We have approximately $116.9 million in land held for development.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, our management and legal counsel believe that when such litigation is resolved, our resulting liability, if any, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the comparative summary of selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and trends which might appear should not be taken as indicative of future operations. Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, are subject to management’s evaluation and interpretation of business conditions, retailer performance, changing capital market conditions and other factors which could affect the ongoing viability of our tenants.

Executive Overview
Weingarten Realty Investors is a REIT organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.
We operate a portfolio of rental properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, totaling approximately 49.9 million square feet of gross leasable area, that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified tenant base with our largest tenant comprising only 3.8% of total rental revenues during 2013.
At December 31, 2013, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 268 developed income-producing properties and two properties under various stages of construction and development, which are located in 21 states spanning the country from coast to coast.
We also owned interests in 35 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 26.4 million square feet at December 31, 2013.
We had approximately 6,300 leases with 4,200 different tenants at December 31, 2013. Leases for our properties range from less than a year for smaller spaces to over 25 years for larger tenants. Rental revenues generally include minimum lease payments, which often increase over the lease term, reimbursements of property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, and additional rent payments based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Our anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and other retailers or service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type goods and services. We believe the stability of our anchor tenants, combined with convenient locations, attractive and well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix, should ensure the long-term success of our merchants and the viability of our portfolio.
Our goal is to remain a leader in owning and operating top-tier neighborhood and community shopping centers in certain markets of the United States. This year we focused on three strategic initiatives: (1) recycling capital to improve our portfolio, (2) maintaining a strong, flexible consolidated balance sheet and well-managed debt maturity schedule and (3) improving operating performance. We believe these initiatives have kept our portfolio of properties in the forefront of being among the strongest in our sector. For 2014, these strategies will continue to be in effect as we continue to transition the portfolio.
Under our capital recycling plan, we continue to dispose of non-core operating properties, which provides capital for growth opportunities and strengthens our operating fundamentals. During 2013, we successfully disposed of real estate assets with our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds totaling $285.1 million, both directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. This program is ongoing, and we expect to complete dispositions in the range of $300 million to $400 million in 2014. We have approximately $110.1 million of dispositions currently under contracts or letters of intent; however, there are no assurances that these transactions will close. Subsequent to year end, we sold two centers with gross proceeds totaling $55.6 million. Also, we received notice in December 2013 from the holder of one of our ground leases in Texas of their intent to exercise their purchase option under the ground lease. This transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2014 and will result in the disposition of three properties.
As we are generally selling lower tier, non-core assets, potential buyers looking to finance such acquisitions may find access to capital an issue; especially if long-term rates rise. Even with these conditions, we believe we can continue to successfully execute our capital recycling plan; although a number of factors, including weaknesses in the secured lending markets or a downturn in the economy, could impact our ability to execute this plan.

We continue to actively seek acquisitions and new development opportunities to grow our operations. During 2013, we have closed on acquisitions, including our pro rata share of interests in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and purchased interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, totaling $247.5 million. Despite substantial competition for quality opportunities and the uncertainty of long-term rates, we will continue to identify select acquisition properties that meet our return hurdles and to actively evaluate other opportunities as they enter the market. For 2014, we expect to invest in acquisitions and new developments in the range of $200 million to $300 million. In 2014, we will continue to focus our attention on identifying new development projects as another source of growth.
Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we completed the dissolution of a consolidated real estate joint venture, in which we had a 30% ownership interest. This venture owned a portfolio of 13 centers of which four are located in Texas, three each in Georgia and Tennessee, two in Florida and one in North Carolina. The transaction was completed through the distribution of five centers to us and eight centers to our partner.
We strive to maintain a strong, conservative capital structure which provides ready access to a variety of attractive long and short-term capital sources. We carefully balance lower cost short-term financing with long-term liabilities associated with acquired or developed long-term assets. During 2013, we issued $300 million of 3.5% and $250 million of 4.45% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2023 and 2024, respectively. We also paid off all amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility, redeemed $75 million of our 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and $200 million of our 6.5% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and paid down $173.6 million of fixed-rate medium term notes. In anticipation of potential volatility and uncertainty in the capital markets, $250 million of 4.45% senior unsecured notes were issued in October to essentially pre-fund our January 2014 debt maturities totaling $285 million.
In 2013, we amended and extended our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The amendment reduces the borrowing margin and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, by 10 and five basis points, respectively. In addition, the unsecured revolving credit facility's maturity date has been extended to 2017 with options to extend up to an additional year. These transactions continue to strengthen our consolidated balance sheet and further enhance our access to various sources of capital, while reducing our cost of capital. While the availability of capital has improved over the past few years, there can be no assurance that favorable pricing and availability will not deteriorate in the future.
Operational Metrics
In assessing the performance of our centers, management carefully monitors various operating metrics of the portfolio. Below are performance metrics associated with our signed occupancy, same property net operating income ("SPNOI") growth and leasing activity on a pro rata basis.

Average external lease commissions per square foot for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were $5.52 and $4.78, respectively.
The operating metrics of our portfolio strengthened in 2013 as we focused on increasing occupancy and SPNOI. Our portfolio delivered solid operating results with:
improved occupancy to 94.8%, including an increase of .8% in small shop occupancy over 2012, primarily as a result of our disposition program and lack of new available retail space in the market;
an increase of 4.2% in SPNOI for the year ended December 31, 2013 over the same period of 2012; and
rental rate increases of 12.7% for new leases during 2013.
While we will continue to monitor the economy and the effects on our tenants, we believe the significant diversification of our portfolio, both geographically and by tenant base, and the quality of our portfolio will allow us to further increase occupancy levels as we move through 2014, albeit at a lesser rate than the previous year, assuming, among other things, no bankruptcies by multiple national or regional tenants. A reduction in quality retail space available contributed to the increase in overall rental rates on a same-space basis as we completed new leases and renewed existing leases. Leasing volume is anticipated to decline as we have less vacant space available for leasing. While we have achieved strong growth in SPNOI during 2013, maintaining this level of positive operating performance in 2014 is not assured. Our expectation is that SPNOI will average between 2.5% to 3.5% for 2014.
New Development
At December 31, 2013, we had two properties in various stages of construction and development. We have funded $71.5 million to date on these projects, and we estimate our aggregate net investment upon completion to be $97.5 million. Overall, the average projected stabilized return on investment for these properties is approximately 8.0% upon completion.
We have approximately $116.9 million in land held for development at December 31, 2013. While we are experiencing a greater interest from retailers and other market participants in our land held for development, opportunities for economically viable developments remain scarce. We continue to pursue additional development and redevelopment opportunities in multiple markets; however, finding the right opportunities remains very challenging.
Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
Acquisitions are a key component of our long-term growth strategy. The availability of quality acquisition opportunities in the market remains sporadic. Competition for the highest quality core properties in our key growth markets is intense, which has in many cases, driven pricing to pre-recession highs. We remain disciplined in approaching these opportunities, pursuing only those that provide appropriate risk-adjusted returns.

31

Table of Contents

Dispositions
Dispositions are also a key component of our ongoing management process where we selectively prune properties from our portfolio that no longer meet our geographic or growth targets. Dispositions provide capital, which may be recycled into properties that have high barrier-to-entry locations within high growth metropolitan markets, and thus have higher long-term growth potential. Additionally, proceeds from dispositions may be used to reduce outstanding debt, further deleveraging our consolidated balance sheet. As we have demonstrated in 2013, this transformative initiative will produce a portfolio with higher occupancy rates and stronger revenue growth.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Property
Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates of fair values are based upon future cash flows and other valuation techniques in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Fair values are used to record the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an “as if vacant” basis, tenant improvements, other identifiable intangibles and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market leases, the value of having leases in place (“as is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), out-of-market assumed mortgages and tenant relationships. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method, generally over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and over the lease term which includes bargain renewal options for other identifiable intangible assets. The impact of these estimates, including incorrect estimates in connection with acquisition values and estimated useful lives, could result in significant differences related to the purchased assets, liabilities and resulting depreciation or amortization. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships, management evaluates the characteristics of associated entities and determines whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, determines which party is the primary beneficiary by analyzing whether we have both the power to direct the entity’s significant economic activities and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or receive potentially significant benefits. Significant judgments and assumptions inherent in this analysis include the design of the entity structure, the nature of the entity’s operations, future cash flow projections, the entity’s financing and capital structure, and contractual relationships and terms. We consolidate a VIE when we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary.
Primary risks associated with our VIEs include the potential funding of the entities’ debt obligations or making additional contributions to fund the entities’ operations.
Partially owned, non-variable interest real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we have a controlling financial interest are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships where we do not have a controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in the factors mentioned above, to determine if the consolidation treatment remains appropriate. Decisions regarding consolidation of partially owned entities frequently require significant judgment by our management. Errors in the assessment of consolidation could result in material changes to our consolidated financial statements.

32

Table of Contents

Impairment
Our property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may not be recoverable.
If such an event occurs, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future, with consideration of applicable holding periods, on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable, our basis in the property is reduced to its estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. Fair values are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization and discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker or appraisal estimates in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy.
We review current economic considerations each reporting period, including the effects of tenant bankruptcies, the suspension of tenant expansion plans for new development projects, declines in real estate values and any changes to plans related to our new development projects including land held for development, to identify properties where we believe market values may be deteriorating. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. The evaluations used in these analyses could result in incorrect estimates when determining carrying values that could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is reviewed for impairment each reporting period. The ultimate realization is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of an investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary. A considerable amount of judgment by our management is used in this evaluation. Our overall future plans for the investment, our investment partner’s financial outlook and our views on current market and economic conditions may have a significant impact on the resulting factors analyzed for these purposes.
Our investments in tax increment revenue bonds are reviewed for impairment, including the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Realization is dependent on a number of factors, including investment performance, market conditions and payment structure. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary, recovery of its cost basis is uncertain, and/or it is uncertain if the investment will be held to maturity. A considerable amount of judgment by our management is used in this evaluation, which may produce incorrect estimates that could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues
The increase in revenues of $40.8 million is primarily attributable to an increase in net rental revenues of $40.1 million due primarily to increases in occupancy and rental rates, new development completions of $2.4 million and acquisitions of $18.7 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
The increase of $20.0 million is attributable primarily to acquisitions, new development completions and other capital activities.
Operating Expenses
The increase in operating expenses of $8.5 million is primarily attributable to acquisitions, which totaled $2.7 million, an increase in management fees of $2.2 million primarily attributable to a fair value increase in the assets held in a grantor trust related to our deferred compensation plan of $1.1 million and slightly higher increases in other operating expenses associated with higher occupancy.
Real Estate Taxes, net
The increase in real estate taxes, net of $5.8 million is primarily attributable to rate and valuation changes, as well as acquisitions and new development completions.
Impairment Loss
The decrease in impairment loss of $7.0 million is primarily attributable to the $6.6 million loss in 2012 associated with an equity interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture that owned industrial properties.
General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3.2 million is primarily attributable to a reduction in personnel due to attrition and property dispositions and a decrease in share-based compensation associated with retirement eligible employees.

Gross interest expense totaled $110.2 million in 2013, down $2.3 million or 2.1% from 2012. The decrease in gross interest expense results primarily from a reduction in interest rates, offset by an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding. In 2013, the weighted average debt outstanding was $2.2 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 5.06% as compared to $2.1 billion outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.12% in 2012. The increase in the weighted average debt outstanding results primarily from our net capital activity, including the issuances of unsecured notes, the redemption of preferred shares, acquisition and disposition activity and the pay down of medium-term notes and other notes, while the reduction in the weighted average interest rate is primarily attributable to the refinancing of notes and mortgages with proceeds from dispositions and note issuances. The increase in the over-market mortgage adjustment of $7.8 million is attributable to the write-off of net above-market mortgage intangibles associated with the early payoff of the related mortgage in both 2013 and 2012.
Gain on Sale and Acquisition of Real Estate Joint Venture and Partnership Interests
The gain in 2013 is attributable to the liquidation of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture that owned industrial properties of $11.5 million, the acquisition of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture interest totaling $20.2 million and the sale of an interest in four unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $1.9 million, while the gain in 2012 was associated with the sale of an interest in six unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net
The increase of $36.7 million is attributable to the gain on sale from 2013 dispositions, of which our share totaled $16.0 million and our share of impairment losses recorded in 2012, which totaled $19.9 million.
Gain on Acquisition
The decrease of $1.9 million is attributable to the realization upon consolidation associated with the purchase of a 79.6% unconsolidated joint venture interest in 2012.
(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes
The increase of $7.1 million is attributable primarily to the gain associated with the purchase of a 50% unconsolidated joint venture interest in our taxable REIT subsidiary.

Revenues
The increase in revenues of $24.3 million is primarily attributable to an increase in net rental revenues of $26.8 million due primarily to increases in occupancy and rental rates, new development completions of $4.2 million and acquisitions of $11.8 million. Offsetting this net rental revenue increase is a decrease in other income of $2.5 million, which was attributable to a decline in miscellaneous revenue.
Depreciation and Amortization
The increase of $9.6 million is due to new development completions, the acquisition of four shopping centers in 2012 and two shopping centers in 2011 and other capital activities.
Operating Expenses
The increase in operating expenses of $8.0 million is attributable to an increase in management fees of $3.2 million, which results primarily from a fair value increase in the assets held in a grantor trust related to our deferred compensation plan; a $1.2 million increase in acquisition costs and an increase in overall operating expenses, of which acquisitions and new development completions totaled $1.5 million and $.5 million, respectively.
Impairment Loss
The impairment loss in 2012 of $9.6 million is mainly attributable to two properties being marketed for sale during the year, an equity interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture that owns industrial properties and the sale of unimproved land parcels. The impairment loss in 2011 of $49.7 million related primarily to land held for development, properties that were sold or marketed for sale, our equity interest in certain unconsolidated joint ventures and the net credit loss on the exchange of tax increment revenue bonds.
Interest Expense, net

Table of Contents

Gross interest expense totaled $112.5 million in 2012, down $20.8 million or 15.6% from 2011. The decrease in gross interest expense results primarily from a reduction in both interest rates and the weighted average debt outstanding as a result of refinancing notes and mortgages through the revolving credit facility by means of proceeds from the industrial and retail dispositions and the issuance of $300 million of 3.38% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2022. In 2012, the weighted average debt outstanding was $2.1 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 5.1% as compared to $2.4 billion outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.5% in 2011. The amortization of convertible bond discount ceased in July 2011.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Joint Venture and Partnership Interests
The increase of $14.2 million is attributable to the sale of an interest in six unconsolidated real estate joint ventures during 2012.
Equity in (Losses) Earnings of Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net
The decrease of $9.4 million is attributable to the reduction of earnings from our unconsolidated real estate investments as a result of impairment losses. In 2012, impairment losses totaled $19.9 million as compared to $7.0 million in 2011.
Gain on Acquisition
The increase of $1.9 million is attributable to the realization upon consolidation associated with the purchase of a 79.6% unconsolidated joint venture interest.
Effects of Inflation
We have structured our leases in such a way as to remain largely unaffected should significant inflation occur. Most of the leases contain percentage rent provisions whereby we receive increased rentals based on the tenants’ gross sales. Many leases provide for increasing minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than 10 years, allowing us to adjust rental rates to changing market conditions when the leases expire. Most of our leases also require the tenants to pay their proportionate share of operating expenses and real estate taxes. As a result of these lease provisions, increases in operating expenses due to inflation, as well as real estate tax rate increases, generally do not have a significant adverse effect upon our operating results as they are absorbed by our tenants. Under the current economic climate, little to no inflation is occurring.
Economic Conditions
Underlying economic fundamentals indicate the economic recovery is maturing in primary markets and progressing in secondary and tertiary markets. Consumer confidence is rebounding, despite government policy-induced interruptions. Furthermore, personal income and housing prices are continuing to increase in our primary markets. We believe there is a direct correlation between housing wealth and consumption, and we expect rebounding home prices will further strengthen retail fundamentals, including rent growth and net operating income. Our focus on supermarket-anchored shopping centers in densely populated major metropolitan areas positions our portfolio to capitalize on the improving retail landscape.
As strengthening retail fundamentals drive demand for investment in top-tier retail real estate, we continue to dedicate internal resources to identify and evaluate available assets in our markets so that we may purchase the best assets and properties with the strongest upside potential. Also, we continue to see an interest in our non-core assets marketed for disposition, as potential buyers have access to available credit.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our primary operating liquidity needs are paying our common and preferred dividends, maintaining and operating our existing properties, paying our debt service costs, excluding debt maturities, and funding capital expenditures. Under our 2014 business plan, cash flows from operating activities are expected to meet these planned capital needs.
The primary sources of capital for funding any debt maturities and acquisitions are our excess cash flow generated by our operating properties; credit facilities; proceeds from both secured and unsecured debt issuances; proceeds from common and preferred equity issuances; and cash generated from the sale of property and the formation of joint ventures. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are retired as needed with proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, common and preferred equity, cash generated from the disposition of properties and cash flow generated by our operating properties.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2013, we had an available borrowing capacity of $497.8 million under our revolving credit facility, and our debt maturities for 2014 total $368.9 million. During 2013, we issued $300 million of 3.5% and $250 million of 4.45% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2023 and 2024, respectively. We also paid off all amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility, redeemed $75 million of our 6.75% Series D Redeemable Preferred Shares and $200 million of our 6.5% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and paid down $173.6 million of fixed-rate medium term notes. Additionally, we have funds invested in short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents totaling $141.6 million primarily from the issuance of our 4.45% senior unsecured notes. The issuance of these notes in late 2013 allowed us to effectively pre-fund our January 2014 debt maturities totaling $285 million in anticipation of potential volatility and uncertainty in the capital markets.
We believe proceeds from our capital recycling program, combined with our available capacity under the credit facilities, will provide adequate liquidity to fund our capital needs, including acquisitions and new development activities. In the event our capital recycling program does not progress as expected, we believe other debt and equity alternatives are available to us. Although external market conditions are not within our control, we do not currently foresee any reasons that would prevent us from entering the capital markets if needed.
During 2013, aggregate gross sales proceeds from our dispositions totaled $285.1 million. Operating cash flows from discontinued operations are included in net cash from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while proceeds from discontinued operations are included as investing activities. At December 31, 2013, discontinued operations represent 8.3% of our net cash from operating activities, and we would expect future net cash from operating activities to decrease accordingly when compared to prior periods.
We have non-recourse debt secured by acquired or developed properties held in several of our real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Off balance sheet mortgage debt for our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $453.4 million, of which our pro rata ownership is $174.3 million at December 31, 2013. Scheduled principal mortgage payments on this debt, excluding non-cash related items totaling $1.2 million, at 100% are as follows (in millions):

We hedge the future cash flows of certain debt transactions, as well as changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, principally through interest rate contracts with major financial institutions. We generally have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of our assets except in certain cases where we are required to obtain our joint venture partners’ consent or a third party consent for assets held in special purpose entities, which are 100% owned by us.
Investing Activities:
Acquisitions
During 2013, we acquired three centers, a 51% interest in a center at an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, and our partner’s 50% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a California property. Also, we received cash, real property and our partner’s interest in two consolidated joint ventures in exchange for our interest in two unconsolidated joint ventures and the payment of a note receivable. In all, our share of the gross purchase price for these transactions totaled approximately $247.5 million and generated gains of $20.2 million, primarily from the remeasurement of our equity interest to fair value.
Dispositions
During 2013, we sold an interest in four unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, 20 centers and other property and five real estate assets through our interests in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds from these transactions totaled $285.1 million and generated gains of $121.9 million. Also, we realized an $11.5 million gain associated with the liquidation of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture that owned industrial properties.

Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we completed the dissolution of our consolidated real estate joint venture with Hines Retail REIT (“Hines”), where we owned a 30% interest. This joint venture held a portfolio of 13 centers located in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. The transaction was completed through the distribution of five centers to us and eight centers to Hines. The centers distributed to Hines are classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013.
New Development
At December 31, 2013, we had two projects under various stages of construction and development with a total square footage of approximately .6 million, of which we have funded $71.5 million to date on these projects. Upon completion, we expect our aggregate net investment in these properties to be $97.5 million.
Our new development projects are financed generally under our revolving credit facility, as it is our practice not to use third party construction financing. Management monitors amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and periodically pays down such balances using cash generated from operations, from debt issuances, from common and preferred share issuances and from the disposition of properties.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for additions to the existing portfolio, acquisitions, tenant improvements, new development and our share of investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships are as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in capital expenditures is attributable primarily to a decline in acquisition activity in 2013 compared to 2012. The decline in new development is associated with the stabilization of nine properties in 2012, while the decrease in tenant improvements is primarily attributable to the recycling of the portfolio and a decline in costs funded for new tenant leases and renewals over the prior year.
For 2014, we anticipate our acquisitions to total between $150 million and $225 million. We anticipate our 2014 tenant improvement expenditures to be consistent with 2013. Our new development investment for 2014 is estimated to be approximately $50 million to $75 million. 2014 capital improvement spending is expected to be consistent with 2013 expenditures. Further, we have entered into commitments aggregating $66.0 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months and anticipated to be funded under our revolving credit facility.

Financing Activities:
Debt
Total debt outstanding was $2.3 billion at December 31, 2013 and included $2.1 billion on which interest rates are fixed and $163.6 million, including the effect of $116.7 million of interest rate contracts, which bears interest at variable rates. Additionally, of our total debt, $727.8 million was secured by operating properties while the remaining $1.6 billion was unsecured.
At December 31, 2013, we have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility which expires in April 2017 and provides borrowing rates that float at a margin over LIBOR plus a facility fee. At December 31, 2013, the borrowing margin and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, are 115 and 20 basis points, respectively. The facility also contains a competitive bid feature that will allow us to request bids for up to $250 million. Additionally, an accordion feature allows us to increase the facility amount up to $700 million. As of January 31, 2014, we had $120.0 million outstanding, and the available balance was $377.8 million, net of $2.2 million in outstanding letters of credit.
We also have an agreement with a bank for an unsecured and uncommitted overnight facility totaling $99 million that we maintain for cash management purposes. The facility provides for fixed interest rate loans at a 30-day LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin based on market liquidity. As of January 31, 2014, we had $11.0 million outstanding under this facility.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the maximum balance and weighted average balance outstanding under both facilities combined were $265.5 million and $61.6 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 1.0%.
In March 2013, we issued $300 million of 3.5% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2023. This transaction allowed us to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility, which included borrowings used to redeem $75.0 million of our 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and $63.0 million of fixed-rate medium term notes.
In October 2013, we issued $250 million of 4.45% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2024. This offering allowed us to repay all amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility with the balance invested in short-term investments.
Our five most restrictive covenants include debt to assets, secured debt to assets, fixed charge and unencumbered interest coverage and debt yield ratios. We are not aware of any non-compliance with our public debt and revolving credit facility covenants as of December 31, 2013.
Our most restrictive public debt covenant ratios, as defined in our indenture and supplemental indenture agreements, were as follows at December 31, 2013:

At December 31, 2013, we had four interest rate contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $116.7 million that were designated as fair value hedges and convert fixed interest payments at rates ranging from 4.2% to 7.5% to variable interest payments ranging from .2% to 4.3%.
At December 31, 2013, we had three interest rate contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $25.8 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts have maturities through September 2017 and either fix or cap interest rates ranging from 2.3% to 5.0%. We have determined that these contracts are highly effective in offsetting future variable interest cash flows.
During 2013, we settled three forward-starting contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million hedging future fixed-rate debt issuances. These contracts fixed the 10-year swap rates at 2.4%. In connection with the $250 million issuance of 4.45% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2024, we received $6.1 million associated with the settlement of these forward-starting contracts resulting in a $5.9 million gain in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Table of Contents

We could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counter-parties related to our interest rate contracts; however, management believes such nonperformance is unlikely.
Equity
In February 2014, our Board of Trust Managers approved an increase in our quarterly dividend rate for our common shares from $.305 to $.325 per share commencing with the first quarter 2014 distribution. Common and preferred dividends paid totaled $165.9 million during 2013. Our dividend payout ratio (as calculated as dividends paid on common shares divided by funds from operations (“FFO”) - basic) for the year ended December 31, 2013 approximated 66.8%, which is inclusive of non-cash transactions including the redemption costs on preferred shares, the write-off of net debt costs and other non-cash items.
In March 2013, we redeemed our 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares with a redemption value of $75.0 million. The funding of this redemption was under our revolving credit facility.
In June 2013, we redeemed a portion of our 6.5% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares with a redemption value of $200 million. The funding of this redemption was under our revolving credit facility.
We have an effective universal shelf registration statement which expires in October 2014. We will continue to closely monitor both the debt and equity markets and carefully consider our available financing alternatives, including both public offerings and private placements.
Contractual Obligations
We have debt obligations related to our mortgage loans and unsecured debt, including any draws on our credit facilities. We have shopping centers that are subject to non-cancelable long-term ground leases where a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to us to construct and/or operate a shopping center. In addition, we have non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to office space from which we conduct our business. The table below excludes obligations related to our new development projects because such amounts are not fixed or determinable, and commitments aggregating $66.0 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months.

Includes principal and interest with interest on variable-rate debt calculated using rates at December 31, 2013, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps. Also, excludes a $73.7 million debt service guaranty liability.
(2)
Other obligations include income and real estate tax payments, commitments associated with our secured debt and other employee payments. Included in 2014, is the estimated contribution to our retirement plan, which meets or exceeds the minimum statutory funding requirements. See Note 19 for additional information.
Related to a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, we have provided a guaranty for the payment of any debt service shortfalls on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with the project. The Sheridan Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") issued Series A bonds used for an urban renewal project, of which $73.7 million remain outstanding at December 31, 2013. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee ("PIF") to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the payment of the bond liability in full or 2040. The debt associated with this guaranty has been recorded in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2013, none of our off balance sheet arrangements had a material effect on our liquidity or availability of, or requirement for, our capital resources. Letters of credit totaling $2.2 million were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2013.
We have entered into several unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Under many of these agreements, we and our joint venture partners are required to fund operating capital upon shortfalls in working capital. We have also committed to fund the capital requirements of new development joint ventures. As operating manager of most of these entities, we have considered these funding requirements in our business plan.
Reconsideration events, including changes in variable interests, could cause us to consolidate these joint ventures and partnerships. We continuously evaluate these events as we become aware of them. Some triggers to be considered are additional contributions required by each partner and each partner’s ability to make those contributions. Under certain of these circumstances, we may purchase our partner’s interest. Our material unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are with entities which appear sufficiently stable; however, if market conditions were to continue to deteriorate and our partners are unable to meet their commitments, there is a possibility we may have to consolidate these entities. If we were to consolidate all of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, we would still be in compliance with our debt covenants.
As of December 31, 2013, one unconsolidated real estate joint ventures was determined to be a VIE through the issuance of a secured loan, since the lender has the ability to make decisions that could have a significant impact on the profitability of the entity. Our maximum risk of loss associated with this VIE was limited to $11.5 million at December 31, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operating results. We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as, our performance.
Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and interests in real estate equity investments, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties and impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments, including our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. We calculate FFO in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition.
We believe FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT operating performance which provides our shareholders with a relevant basis for comparison among other REITs. Management uses FFO as a supplemental internal measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that uses historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.

___________________
(1)
Prior years’ results were restated to conform to the current year presentation by applying NAREIT's methodology regarding operating partnership units.
(2)
The weighted average common shares used to compute FFO per diluted common share includes operating partnership units that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Conversion of these operating partnership units is dilutive in the computation of FFO per diluted common share, but is anti-dilutive for the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods presented.
Same Property Net Operating Income
We consider SPNOI to be a key indicator of our financial performance as it provides a better indication of the recurring cash return on our properties by excluding certain non-cash revenues and expenses, as well as other infrequent or one-time items. We believe a pro rata basis is the most useful measurement as it provides our proportional share of SPNOI from all owned properties, including our share of SPNOI from unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, which cannot be readily determined under GAAP measurements and presentation. Although SPNOI is a widely used measure among REITs, there can be no assurance that SPNOI presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.

Table of Contents

Properties are included in the SPNOI calculation if they are owned and operated for the entirety of the most recent two fiscal year periods, except for properties for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during either of the periods presented, and properties classified as discontinued operations. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, we move new development and redevelopment properties once they have stabilized, which is typically upon attainment of 90% occupancy. A rollforward of the properties included in our same property designation is as follows:

We calculate SPNOI using operating income as defined by GAAP excluding property management fees, certain non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue and the related reversal of such amounts upon early lease termination, depreciation, amortization, impairment losses, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs and other one-time items such as lease cancellation income, environmental abatement costs and demolition expenses. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from SPNOI. A reconciliation of operating income to SPNOI is as follows (in thousands):

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This ASU requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity has agreed to pay in accordance to the arrangement and (2) any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Additional disclosures on the nature and amounts of the obligation will also be required. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-04 are effective for us on January 1, 2014, and are required to be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This ASU amends current GAAP to require entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for net operating loss or other tax credit carryforwards when settlement is available under the tax law. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 are effective for us on January 1, 2014, and are required to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits in existence. Retrospective application may be applied to prior reporting periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We use fixed and floating-rate debt to finance our capital requirements. These transactions expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage a portion of this risk, primarily interest rate contracts with major financial institutions. These agreements expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counter-parties. We do not engage in the trading of derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2013, we had fixed-rate debt of $2.1 billion and variable-rate debt of $163.6 million, after adjusting for the net effect of $116.7 million notional amount of interest rate contracts. In the event interest rates were to increase 100 basis points and holding all other variables constant, annual net income and cash flows for the following year would decrease by approximately $.2 million associated with our variable-rate debt, including the effect of the interest rate contracts. The effect of the 100 basis points increase would decrease the fair value of our variable-rate and fixed-rate debt by approximately $3.4 million and $107.0 million, respectively.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trust Managers and Shareholders of
Weingarten Realty Investors
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weingarten Realty Investors and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Weingarten Realty Investors and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Weingarten Realty Investors is a REIT organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We currently operate, and intend to operate in the future, as a REIT.
We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.
We operate a portfolio of neighborhood and community shopping centers, totaling approximately 49.9 million square feet of gross leaseable area, that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified tenant base, with our largest tenant comprising only 3.8% of total rental revenues during 2013. Net operating income from continuing operations generated by our properties located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 19.1% of total net operating income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, and an additional 8.4% of net operating income from continuing operations is generated from properties that are located in other parts of Texas.
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships and VIEs which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which generally begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is subject to our interpretation of lease provisions and is recognized in the period the related expense is recognized. Revenue based on a percentage of tenants’ sales is recognized only after the tenant exceeds their sales breakpoint. In circumstances where we provide a tenant improvement allowance for improvements that are owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Other revenue is income from contractual agreements with third parties, tenants or partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships, which is recognized as the related services are performed under the respective agreements.
Property
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, generally over estimated useful lives of 18-40 years for buildings and 10-20 years for parking lot surfacing and equipment. Major replacements where the betterment extends the useful life of the asset are capitalized and the replaced asset and corresponding accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. All other maintenance and repair items are charged to expense as incurred.
Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates of fair values are based upon estimated future cash flows and other valuation techniques in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Fair values are used to allocate and record the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an “as if vacant” basis, tenant improvements, other identifiable intangibles and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market leases, the value of having leases in place (“as is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), out-of-market assumed mortgages and tenant relationships. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method, generally over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and over the lease term which includes bargain renewal options for other identifiable intangible assets. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

Property also includes costs incurred in the development of new operating properties. These properties are carried at cost, and no depreciation is recorded on these assets until rent commences or no later than one year from the completion of major construction. These costs include preacquisition costs directly identifiable with the specific project, development and construction costs, interest and real estate taxes. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are directly attributable to the development of the property, are also capitalized. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy.
Property also includes costs for tenant improvements paid by us, including reimbursements to tenants for improvements that are owned by us and will remain our property after the lease expires.
Property identified for sale is reviewed to determine if it qualifies as held for sale based on the following criteria: management has approved and is committed to the disposal plan, the assets are available for immediate sale, an active plan is in place to locate a buyer, the sale is probable and expected to qualify as a completed sale within a year, the sales price is reasonable in relation to the current fair value, and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the sales plan or that the sales plan will be withdrawn. Upon qualification, these properties are segregated and classified as held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell and its related operating results are reclassified into discontinued operations.
Some of our properties are held in single purpose entities. A single purpose entity is a legal entity typically established at the request of a lender solely for the purpose of owning a property or group of properties subject to a mortgage. There may be restrictions limiting the entity’s ability to engage in an activity other than owning or operating the property, assuming or guaranteeing the debt of any other entity, or dissolving itself or declaring bankruptcy before the debt has been repaid. Most of our single purpose entities are 100% owned by us and are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements.
Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships, management determines whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, determines which party is the primary beneficiary by analyzing whether we have both the power to direct the entity’s significant economic activities and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or receive potentially significant benefits. Significant judgments and assumptions inherent in this analysis include the design of the entity structure, the nature of the entity’s operations, future cash flow projections, the entity’s financing and capital structure, and contractual relationships and terms. We consolidate a VIE when we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary.
Primary risks associated with our involvement with our VIEs include the potential funding of the entities’ debt obligations or making additional contributions to fund the entities’ operations.
Partially owned, non-variable interest real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we have a controlling financial interest are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In determining if we have a controlling financial interest, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships where we do not have a controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in the factors mentioned above, to determine if the consolidation or equity method treatment remains appropriate.
Notes Receivable from Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
Notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships in which we have an ownership interest, primarily represent mortgage construction notes. We consider applying a reserve to a note receivable when it becomes apparent that conditions exist that may lead to our inability to fully collect on outstanding amounts due. Such conditions include delinquent or late payments on notes, deterioration in the ongoing relationship with the borrower and other relevant factors. When such conditions leading to expected losses exist, we would estimate a reserve by reviewing the borrower’s ability to meet scheduled debt service, our partner’s ability to make contributions and the fair value of the collateral.

Table of Contents

Deferred Charges
Debt costs are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the debt. Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. Such costs include outside broker commissions and other independent third party costs, as well as salaries and benefits, travel and other internal costs directly related to completing a lease and are amortized over the life of the lease on a straight-line basis. Costs related to supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are charged to expense as incurred.
Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable, net
Receivables include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to the straight-lining of rental commitments. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels, tenant creditworthiness and current economic trends. Additionally, estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims with respect to tenants in bankruptcy are considered in assessing the collectibility of the related receivables. Management’s estimate of the collectibility of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held at major financial institutions in the U.S. We had cash and cash equivalents in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents amongst several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk and regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions.
Restricted Deposits and Mortgage Escrows
Restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders primarily for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves and restricted cash that is held for a specific use or in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions.
Our restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consists of the following (in thousands):

The decrease between the periods presented is primarily attributable to the use of $30.7 million for the purpose of completing like-kind exchange transactions.
Other Assets, net
Other assets include an asset related to the debt service guaranty (see Note 7 for further information), tax increment revenue bonds, investments, investments held in a grantor trust, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, interest rate derivatives, the value of above-market leases and the related accumulated amortization and other miscellaneous receivables. Investments held in a grantor trust are adjusted to fair value at each period with changes included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investments in mutual funds and the short-term time deposit are adjusted to fair value at each period with changes included in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, which approximates the cost basis. Our tax increment revenue bonds have been classified as held to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost offset by a recognized credit loss (see Note 24 for further information). Above-market leases are amortized as adjustments to rental revenues over terms of the acquired leases. Other miscellaneous receivables have a reserve applied to the carrying amount when it becomes apparent that conditions exist that may lead to our inability to fully collect on outstanding amounts due. Such conditions include delinquent or late payments on receivables, deterioration in the ongoing relationship with the borrower and other relevant factors. We would establish a reserve when expected loss conditions exist by reviewing the borrower’s ability to generate revenues to meet debt service requirements and assessing the fair value of any collateral.

Table of Contents

Derivatives and Hedging
We manage interest cost using a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. To manage our interest rate risk, we occasionally hedge the future cash flows of our existing floating-rate debt or anticipated fixed-rate debt issuances, as well as changes in the fair value of our existing fixed-rate debt instruments, principally through interest rate contracts with major financial institutions. Interest rate contracts that meet specific criteria are accounted for as either a cash flow or fair value hedge.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk:
Our objective in using interest rate contracts is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate contracts as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate contracts designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount or capping floating rate interest payments.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. For hedges of fixed-rate debt issuances, the interest rate contracts are cash settled upon the pricing of the debt, with amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and amortized as an increase/decrease to interest expense over the originally hedged period.
The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk:
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of our fixed-rate obligations due to changes in benchmark interest rates, such as LIBOR. We use interest rate contracts to manage our exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Changes in the fair value of interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges, as well as changes in the fair value of the related debt being hedged, are recorded in earnings each reporting period.
Sales of Real Estate
Sales of real estate include the sale of tracts of land within a shopping center development, property adjacent to shopping centers, operating properties, newly developed properties, investments in real estate joint ventures and partnerships and partial sales to real estate joint ventures and partnerships in which we participate.
Profits on sales of real estate are not recognized until (a) a sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing investments are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay; (c) the seller’s receivable is not subject to future subordination; and (d) we have transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in the transaction, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property.
We recognize gains on the sale of real estate to joint ventures and partnerships in which we participate to the extent we receive cash from the joint venture or partnership, if it meets the sales criteria in accordance with GAAP, and we do not have a commitment to support the operations of the real estate joint venture or partnership to an extent greater than our proportionate interest in the real estate joint venture or partnership.
Impairment
Our property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may not be recoverable.
If such an event occurs, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future, with consideration of applicable holding periods, on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable, our basis in the property is reduced to its estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. Fair values are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker or appraisal estimates in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy.

55

Table of Contents

We review economic considerations at each reporting period, including the effects of tenant bankruptcies, the suspension of tenant expansion plans for new development projects, declines in real estate values, and any changes to plans related to our new development properties including land held for development, to identify properties where we believe market values may be deteriorating. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. If market conditions deteriorate or management’s plans for certain properties change, additional write-downs could be required in the future.
Our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is reviewed for impairment each reporting period. The ultimate realization is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of an investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary. There is no certainty that impairments will not occur in the future if market conditions decline or if management’s plans for these investments change.
Our investments in tax increment revenue bonds are reviewed for impairment, including the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Realization is dependent on a number of factors, including investment performance, market conditions and payment structure. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary, recovery of its cost basis is uncertain, and/or it is uncertain if the investment will be held to maturity.
Interest Capitalization
Interest is capitalized on land under development and buildings under construction based on rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period and the weighted average balance of qualified assets under development/construction during the period.
Interest Expense in Discontinued Operations
Interest expense that is specifically identifiable to property, both held for sale and sold and qualifies as discontinued operations, is included in operating income from discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. We do not allocate other consolidated interest to operating income from discontinued operations because the interest savings to be realized from the proceeds of the sale of these operations is not material.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to our shareholders. To be taxed as a REIT, we must meet a number of requirements including defined percentage tests concerning the amount of our assets and revenues that come from, or are attributable to, real estate operations. As long as we distribute at least 90% of the taxable income of the REIT (without regard to capital gains or the dividends paid deduction) to our shareholders as dividends, we will not be taxed on the portion of our income we distribute as dividends unless we have ineligible transactions.
The Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 gave REITs the ability to conduct activities which a REIT was previously precluded from doing as long as such activities are performed in entities which have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the IRS code. These activities include buying or developing properties with the express purpose of selling them. We conduct certain of these activities in a taxable REIT subsidiary that we have created. We calculate and record income taxes in our consolidated financial statements based on the activities in this entity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between our carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. These are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is established for those assets we do not consider the realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Additionally, GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We believe it is more likely than not that our tax positions will be sustained in any tax examinations.
In addition, we are subject to the State of Texas business tax (“Texas Franchise Tax”), which is determined by applying a tax rate to a base that considers both revenues and expenses. Therefore, the Texas Franchise Tax is considered an income tax and is accounted for accordingly.

Share-Based Compensation
We have share option and restricted share award plans. In November 2011, we announced changes to the long-term incentive program under our Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2011 Program Changes"). Future grants of awards will incorporate both service-based and market-based measures for restricted share awards to promote share ownership among the participants and to emphasize the importance of total shareholder return. The terms of each grant vary depending upon the participant's responsibilities and position within the Company. All awards are recorded at fair value on the date of grant and earn dividends throughout the vesting period. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. All share awards are awarded subject to the participant’s continued employment with us.
The share awards are subject to a three-year cliff vesting basis. Service-based and market-based share awards are subject to the achievement of select performance goals as follows:
Service-based awards and accumulated dividends typically vest three years from the grant date. These grants are subject only to continued employment and not dependent on future performance measures. Accordingly, if such vesting criteria are not met, compensation cost previously recognized would be reversed.
Market-based awards vest based upon the performance metrics at the end of a three-year period. These awards are based 50% on our three-year relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the FTSE NAREIT U.S. Shopping Center Index. The other 50% is tied to our three-year absolute TSR. At the end of a three-year period, the performance measures are analyzed; the actual number of shares earned is determined and the earned shares and the accumulated dividends vest. The probability of meeting the market criteria is considered when calculating the estimated fair value on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation. These awards are accounted for as awards with market criteria, with compensation cost recognized over the service period, regardless of whether the market criteria are achieved and the awards are ultimately earned and vest.
Share options granted to non-officers prior to the 2011 Program Changes vest ratably over a three-year period beginning after the grant date, and share options and restricted shares for officers vest ratably over a five-year period after the grant date. Restricted shares granted to trust managers and share options or awards granted to retirement eligible employees are expensed immediately. Restricted shares have the same rights of a common shareholder, including the right to vote and receive dividends, except as otherwise provided by our Management Development and Executive Compensation Committee.
The grant price for our options is calculated as an average of the high and low of the quoted fair value of our common shares on the date of grant. Issued options generally expire upon the earlier of termination of employment or 10 years from the date of grant, and restricted shares for officers and trust managers are granted at no purchase price. Our policy is to recognize compensation expense for equity awards ratably over the vesting period, except for retirement eligible amounts.
The fair value of share options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method based on certain expected weighted average assumptions; including the dividend yield, the expected volatility, the expected life and the risk free interest rate. The dividend yield was an average of the historical yields at each record date over the estimated expected life. We estimated volatility using our historical volatility data for a period of 10 years, and the expected life was based on historical data from an option valuation model of employee exercises and terminations. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve.
Retirement Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans:
We sponsor a noncontributory cash balance retirement plan (“Retirement Plan”) under which an account is maintained for each participant. Annual additions to each participant’s account include a service credit ranging from 3%-5% of compensation, depending on years of service, and an interest credit of 4.5% effective January 1, 2011. The interest credit for prior years was based on the 10 year U.S. Treasury Bill rate not to be less than 2.05%. Vesting generally occurs after three years of service. In addition to the plan described above, prior to January 1, 2012, we had established two separate and independent nonqualified supplemental retirement plans (“SRP”) for certain employees. These unfunded plans provided benefits in excess of the statutory limits of our noncontributory cash balance retirement plan. Annual additions to each participant’s account included an actuarially-determined service credit and an interest credit of 7.5%. Vesting generally occurred between five and 10 years of service. We had elected to use the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which the participant was entitled if the participant separated immediately from the SRP, as permitted by GAAP.

Investments of Plan Assets
Our investment policy for our plan assets has been to determine the objectives for structuring a retirement savings program suitable to the long-term needs and risk tolerances of participants, to select appropriate investments to be offered by the plan and to establish procedures for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the investments of the plan. Our overall plan objectives for selecting and monitoring investment options are to promote and optimize retirement wealth accumulation; to provide a full range of asset classes and investment options that are intended to help diversify the portfolio to maximize return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk; to control costs of administering the plan; and to manage the investments held by the plan.
The selection of investment options is determined using criteria based on the following characteristics: fund history, relative performance, investment style, portfolio structure, manager tenure, minimum assets, expenses and operation considerations. Investment options selected for use in the plan are reviewed at least on a semi-annual basis to evaluate material changes from the selection criteria. Asset allocation is used to determine how the investment portfolio should be split between stocks, bonds and cash. The asset allocation decision is influenced by investment time horizon; risk tolerance; and investment return objectives. The primary factor in establishing asset allocation is demographics of the plan, including attained age and future service. A broad market diversification model is used in considering all these factors and the percentage allocation to each investment category may also vary depending upon market conditions. Re-balancing of the allocation of plan assets occurs semi-annually.
Defined Contribution Plans:
Effective January 1, 2012, we amended our SRP to be defined contribution plans from defined benefit plans. These unfunded plans continue to provide benefits in excess of the statutory limits of our noncontributory cash balance retirement plan. For active participants as of January 1, 2012, annual additions to each participant’s account include an actuarially-determined service credit ranging from 3% to 5% and an interest credit of 4.5%. Vesting generally occurs between five and 10 years of service. We have elected to use the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which the participant was entitled if the participant separated immediately from the SRP, as permitted by GAAP.
The SRP participants' account balances, under the defined benefit plan, were converted to a cash balance retirement plan which no longer receives service credits but would continue to receive a 7.5% interest credit for active participants and a December 31 90-day LIBOR rate plus .50% for inactive participants.
We have a Savings and Investment Plan pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to contribute from 1% of their salaries to the maximum amount established annually by the IRS. Employee contributions are matched by us at the rate of 50% for the first 6% of the employee's salary. The employees vest in the employer contributions ratably over a five-year period.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We have a deferred compensation plan for eligible employees allowing them to defer portions of their current cash salary or share-based compensation. Deferred amounts are deposited in a grantor trust, which are included in net other assets, and are reported as compensation expense in the year service is rendered. Cash deferrals are invested based on the employee’s investment selections from a mix of assets selected using a broad market diversification model. Deferred share-based compensation cannot be diversified, and distributions from this plan are made in the same form as the original deferral.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain financial instruments, estimates and transactions are required to be calculated, reported and/or recorded at fair value. The estimated fair values of such financial items, including debt instruments, impaired assets, acquisitions, investment securities and derivatives, have been determined using a market-based measurement. This measurement is determined based on the assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability; including, market capitalization rates, discount rates, current operating income, local economics and other factors. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP 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).

58

Table of Contents

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair value of such financial instruments, estimates and transactions was determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as prescribed by GAAP.
Internally developed and third party fair value measurements, including the unobservable inputs, are evaluated by management with sufficient experience for reasonableness based on current market knowledge, trends and transactional experience in the real estate and capital markets. Our valuation policies and procedures are determined by our Accounting Group, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer and the results of significant impairment transactions are discussed with the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.
Fair value estimates are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, including our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships, tax increment revenue bonds and debt, and there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument. The following provides information about the methods used to estimate the fair value of the our financial instruments, including their estimated fair values:
Investments and Deferred Compensation Plan Obligations
Investments in mutual funds held in a grantor trust and mutual funds are valued based on publicly-quoted market prices for identical assets. The time deposit is a short-term investment tradeable in the secondary market and reflects current rates for a deposit with similar maturity and credit quality. The deferred compensation plan obligations corresponds to the value of our investments held in a grantor trust.
Derivative Instruments
We use interest rate contracts with major financial institutions to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, 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 interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of our interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counter-party’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral, thresholds and guarantees. An accounting policy election was made to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counter-parties. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Notes Receivable from Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
We estimate the fair value of our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships using quoted market prices for publicly-traded notes and discounting estimated future cash receipts. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for a note or groups of notes with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the note is outstanding through maturity and considers the note’s collateral (if applicable). We utilize market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.
Tax Increment Revenue Bonds
The fair value estimates of our held to maturity tax increment revenue bonds, which were issued by the Agency in connection with our investment in a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, are based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis based on the expected future sales tax revenues of the development project. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the bonds, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, such as market discount rates and unobservable market-based inputs, such as future growth and inflation rates.
Debt
The fair value of our debt may be based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt, on a third-party established benchmark for inactively traded debt and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for non-traded debt. For inactively traded debt, our third-party provider establishes a benchmark for all REIT securities based on the largest, most liquid and most frequent investment grade securities in the REIT bond market. This benchmark is then adjusted to consider how a market participant would be compensated for risk premiums such as, longevity of maturity dates, lack of liquidity and credit quality of the issuer. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.
Reportable Segments
Our primary focus is to lease space to tenants in shopping centers that we own, lease or manage. Historically, we reviewed operating and financial information for each property by commercial use and on an individual basis. Each commercial use or each property represents an individual operating segment.
We evaluate the performance of the reportable segments based on net operating income, defined as total revenues less operating expenses and real estate taxes. Management does not consider the effect of gains or losses from the sale of property or interests in real estate joint ventures and partnerships in evaluating segment operating performance.
With the sale of our industrial portfolio in May 2012, we no longer analyze our properties by commercial use. Further, no individual property constitutes more than 10% of our revenues, net operating income or assets, and we have no operations outside of the United States of America. Therefore, our properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment since such properties and the tenants thereof each share similar economic and operating characteristics.

Reclassifications
The reclassification of prior years’ operating results for certain properties classified as discontinued operations was made to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 15 and 17 for additional information). These items had no impact on previously reported net income, the consolidated balance sheet or cash flows.

Note 2.      Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires entities to provide new disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-11 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and were required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements, but required additional disclosures.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which amends the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 to apply only to entities with derivatives accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard Code 815. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-01 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and were required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if it is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. For other reclassified amounts, an entity is required cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-02 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and have been applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements, but required additional disclosures.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This ASU requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity has agreed to pay in accordance to the arrangement and (2) any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Additional disclosures on the nature and amounts of the obligation will also be required. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-04 are effective for us on January 1, 2014, and are required to be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This ASU amends current GAAP to require entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for net operating loss or other tax credit carryforwards when settlement is available under the tax law. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 are effective for us on January 1, 2014, and are required to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits in existence. Retrospective application may be applied to prior reporting periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired three centers and other property for approximately $153.6 million, invested $19.3 million in new development projects and acquired our partner's 50% interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, which increased property by $64.2 million (see Note 23 for additional information).
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we sold 20 centers and other property. Aggregate gross sales proceeds from these transactions approximated $233.9 million and generated gains of $120.0 million.
Also, eight properties totaling $155.0 million before accumulated depreciation were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013 (see Note 15 for additional information).

Note 4.      Investment in Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
We own interests in real estate joint ventures or limited partnerships and have tenancy-in-common interests in which we exercise significant influence, but do not have financial and operating control. We account for these investments using the equity method, and our interests range from 20% to 75% during 2013 and 10% to 75% during 2012.

Our investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, as reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, differs from our proportionate share of the entities’ underlying net assets due to basis differences, which arose upon the transfer of assets to the joint ventures. The net positive basis differences, which totaled $6.1 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are generally amortized over the useful lives of the related assets.
Our real estate joint ventures and partnerships determined that the carrying amount of certain properties was not recoverable and that the properties should be written down to fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships recorded an impairment charge of $1.9 million, $96.8 million and $28.8 million, respectively, associated primarily with various properties that are being either marketed for sale, have been sold or with shorter holding periods of finite life joint ventures where the joint ventures’ ability to recover the carrying cost of the property may be limited by the term of the venture life.
Fees earned by us for the management of these real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $5.0 million in 2013, $6.1 million in 2012 and $6.0 million in 2011.
During 2013, the final two industrial properties in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture were sold. This joint venture was liquidated resulting in an $11.5 million gain on our investment. Also, three shopping centers were sold, and our gross sales proceeds from the disposition of these five properties totaled $35.5 million, of which our share of the gain totaled $16.0 million. Furthermore, we sold our 10% interest in two unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangements and two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that we previously accounted for under the equity method, for approximately $15.7 million, resulting in a gain of $1.9 million.
During 2013, a 51% owned unconsolidated real estate joint venture acquired real estate assets of approximately $41.2 million. We also acquired our partner’s 50% unconsolidated real estate joint venture interest in a California property that we had previously accounted for under the equity method. This transaction resulted in the consolidation of the property in our consolidated financial statements (see Note 23 for additional information).
During 2012, our interest in 19 industrial properties held in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, in which we are a partner, were sold through either a direct sale by the joint venture or the sale of our interest. Gross sales proceeds, including the assumption of debt, from these transactions totaled $210.4 million. Also, we sold a 47.8% unconsolidated real estate joint venture interest in a Colorado development project to our partner with gross sales proceeds totaling $29.1 million, which includes the assumption of our share of debt.
During 2012, we acquired a partner's 79.6% interest in an unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangement for approximately $29.6 million that we had previously accounted for under the equity method and included the assumption of debt of $24.5 million. This transaction resulted in the consolidation of the property in our consolidated financial statements.

Note 5.      Notes Receivable from Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
We have ownership interests in a number of real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Notes receivable from these entities bear interest ranging from approximately 2.9% to 5.7% at December 31, 2013 and 2.9% to 16.0% at December 31, 2012. These notes are due at various dates through 2017 and are generally secured by underlying real estate assets.
We believe these notes are fully collectible, and no allowance has been recorded. Interest income recognized on these notes was $2.2 million, $3.0 million and $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In December 2013, we acquired our partner’s 50% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a California property, which includes the settlement of $54.8 million of our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships. See Note 23 for additional information.
In November 2012, a $16.1 million note matured and negotiations for repayment were entered into. During 2013, the note was paid. See Note 21 for additional information.
In February 2012, we received $59.2 million in payment of our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships, in conjunction with the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture. See Note 20 for additional information.

We maintain a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was last amended and extended on April 18, 2013. This facility expires in April 2017, provides for two consecutive six-month extensions upon our request and borrowing rates that float at a margin over LIBOR plus a facility fee. At December 31, 2013, the borrowing margin and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, are 115 and 20 basis points, respectively. The facility also contains a competitive bid feature that will allow us to request bids for up to $250 million. Additionally, an accordion feature allows us to increase the facility amount up to $700 million.
Effective May 2010, we entered into an agreement with a bank for an unsecured and uncommitted overnight facility totaling $99 million that we intend to maintain for cash management purposes. The facility provides for fixed interest rate loans at a 30 day LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin based on market liquidity.

Related to a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, we have provided a guaranty for the payment of any debt service shortfalls until a coverage rate of 1.4 is met on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with the project. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a PIF to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the date the bond liability has been paid in full or 2040. Therefore, a debt service guaranty liability equal to the fair value of the amounts funded under the bonds was recorded. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $73.7 million and $74.1 million, respectively, outstanding for the debt service guaranty liability.
In October 2013, we issued $250 million of 4.45% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2024. The notes were issued at 99.58% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 4.50%. The net proceeds received of $247.3 million were used to reduce all amounts outstanding under our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, and net excess proceeds were invested in short-term instruments and will be used to pay down future debt maturities or for general business purposes.
In March 2013, we issued $300 million of 3.5% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2023. The notes were issued at 99.53% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.56%. The net proceeds received of $296.6 million were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which included borrowings used to redeem $75 million of our 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.
In addition, $173.6 million of fixed-rate medium term notes matured during 2013 at a weighted average interest rate of 5.4% and a $100 million 6% fixed-rate note payable was repaid prior to maturity.
In October 2012, we issued $300 million of 3.38% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2022. The notes were issued at 99.62% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.42%. The net proceeds received of $296.9 million were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility and to repay our $54.1 million of 3.95% convertible senior unsecured notes.

Cash Flow Hedges:
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had three active interest rate contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $25.8 million and $26.5 million, respectively. These contracts have maturities through September 2017 and either fix or cap interest rates ranging from 2.3% to 5.0%. We have determined that these contracts are highly effective in offsetting future variable interest cash flows.
During 2013, we settled three forward-starting contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million hedging future fixed-rate debt issuances. These contracts fixed the 10-year swap rates at 2.4%. In connection with the October 2013 issuance of unsecured senior notes, we received $6.1 million associated with the settlement of these contracts resulting in a $5.9 million gain in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, accumulated other comprehensive loss included a net gain (loss) balance for cash flow interest rate contracts of $1.2 million and $(7.5) million, respectively, and these amounts will be reclassified to net interest expense as interest payments are made on our fixed-rate debt. Within the next 12 months, a loss of approximately $1.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be amortized to net interest expense related to settled interest rate contracts.

Fair Value Hedges:
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had four interest rate contracts, maturing through October 2017, with an aggregate notional amount of $116.7 million and $118.1 million, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges and convert fixed interest payments at rates from 4.2% to 7.5% to variable interest payments ranging from .2% to 4.3%, and .3% to 4.3%, respectively. We have determined that our fair value hedges are highly effective in limiting our risk of changes in the fair value of fixed-rate notes attributable to changes in interest rates.

Note 9.      Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest
We issued $150 million and $200 million of depositary shares on June 6, 2008 and January 30, 2007, respectively. Each depositary share represents one-hundredth of a Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share. The depositary shares are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any of our other property or securities. The Series F Preferred Shares pay a 6.5% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per share. The Series F Preferred Shares issued in June 2008 were issued at a discount, resulting in an effective rate of 8.25%.
We exercised our option to redeem a portion of the Series F depositary shares totaling $200 million on June 5, 2013. Upon the redemption of these shares, a portion of the related original issuance costs totaling $15.7 million was reported as a deduction in arriving at net income attributable to common shareholders. The outstanding $150 million Series F Preferred Shares pay a 6.5% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per share. Of these outstanding shares, $64.3 million were issued at a discount and have an effective rate of 8.25%.
In April 2003, we issued $75 million of depositary shares with each share representing one-thirtieth of a Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share. The depositary shares were redeemed on March 18, 2013, at our option, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share or $75 million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Upon the redemption of these shares, the related original issuance costs of $2.2 million were reported as a deduction in arriving at net income attributable to common shareholders. The Series D Preferred Shares paid a 6.75% annual dividend, had a liquidation value of $750 per share and were not convertible or exchangeable for any of our property or securities.

Common dividends declared per share were $1.22, $1.16 and $1.10 for the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The dividend rate per share for our common shares for each quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $.305 and $.290, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, our Board of Trust Managers approved an increase to our quarterly dividend rate to $.325 per share.

Impairment was prompted by changes in management's plans for these properties, recent comparable market transactions and/or a change in market conditions.

These charges resulted from changes in management’s plans for these properties, primarily the marketing of these properties for sale. Also, included in this caption are impairments associated with dispositions that did not qualify to be reported in discontinued operations.

Amounts reported in 2012 were based on third party offers to buy our interests in industrial real estate joint ventures. Amounts reported in 2011 relate to market conditions.
(4)
During 2011, the tax increment revenue bonds were remarketed by the Agency. All of the outstanding bonds were recalled, and new bonds were issued. We recorded an $18.7 million net credit loss on the exchange of bonds associated with our investment in the tax increment revenue bonds.
(5)
Amounts reported were based on third party offers.

Note 14.      Income Tax Considerations
We qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore, no tax is imposed on our taxable income distributed to shareholders. To maintain our REIT status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain income source and investment restriction requirements. Our shareholders must report their share of income distributed in the form of dividends.
Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes principally because of differences in the timing of recognition of depreciation, rental revenue, interest expense, compensation expense, impairment losses and gain from sales of property. As a result of these differences, the tax basis of our net fixed assets exceeds the book value by $88.0 million and $7.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Management believes it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets, which primarily consists of impairment losses, interest expense and net operating losses, will not be realized and established a valuation allowance. However, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

Note 15.      Discontinued Operations
During 2013, we sold 20 centers of which nine were located in Texas, three each in Florida and North Carolina; two in New Mexico and one each in California, Nevada and Tennessee. As of December 31, 2013, we classified as held for sale eight centers that consisted of property and accumulated depreciation totaling $155.0 million and $32.4 million, respectively, of which three are located in Georgia, two each in Florida and Texas and one in North Carolina. See Note 26 for additional information.
During 2012, we sold 27 shopping centers, 54 industrial properties, and we assigned a 75% consolidated joint venture interest to our partner. Of these dispositions, 55 were located in Texas, six each in Florida and Georgia, three in North Carolina, two each in Colorado, Louisiana and Virginia and one each in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Oklahoma and Tennessee. As part of these 2012 dispositions, we sold, in May 2012, a portfolio of 52 wholly-owned industrial properties in order to exit the industrial real estate market and further align and strengthen our position solely as a retail REIT. As of December 31, 2012, no properties were classified as held for sale.
Included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012 was $371.7 million of property and $103.9 million of accumulated depreciation related to the 20 centers that were sold during 2013, as well as the eight centers classified as held for sale.
The operating results of these centers, which includes the eight centers classified as held for sale, have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows (in thousands):

Note 17.      Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share – basic is computed using net income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic. Earnings per common share – diluted includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders includes gain on sale of property in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. The components of earnings per common share – basic and diluted for the prior periods have been recast to conform with discontinued operations.

Note 18.      Share Options and Awards
In April 2011, our Long-Term Incentive Plan for the issuance of options and share awards expired, and issued options of 2.9 million remain outstanding as of December 31, 2013.
In May 2010, our shareholders approved the adoption of the Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, under which 3.0 million of our common shares were reserved for issuance, and options and share awards of 1.7 million are available for future grant at December 31, 2013. This plan expires in May 2020.

Compensation expense, net of forfeitures, associated with share options and restricted shares totaled $8.8 million in 2013, $9.7 million in 2012 and $6.4 million in 2011, of which $2.4 million in 2013, $2.0 million in 2012 and $1.5 million in 2011 was capitalized. The significant year over year change in expense from 2011 to 2012 is primarily due to an increased number of employees who became retirement eligible, requiring the related expense to be recognized immediately.
Options
The fair value of share options issued prior to 2012 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method based on the expected weighted average assumptions in the following table. The fair value and weighted average assumptions were as follows:

The selection of the discount rate is made annually after comparison to yields based on high quality fixed-income investments. The salary scale is the composite rate which reflects anticipated inflation, merit increases, and promotions for the group of covered participants. The long-term rate of return is a composite rate for the trust. It is derived as the sum of the percentages invested in each principal asset class included in the portfolio multiplied by their respective expected rates of return. We considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This analysis resulted in the selection of 7.5% as the long-term rate of return assumption for 2013.

We also had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5.6 million and $6.3 million outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded joint venture fee income of $5.0 million, $6.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
In 2013, we sold our 10% interest in two unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangements to our partner for approximately $8.9 million.

Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we participate in three and four, respectively, real estate ventures structured as DownREIT partnerships that have properties in Arkansas, California, North Carolina, Texas and Utah (2012 only). As a general partner, we have operating and financial control over these ventures and consolidate them in our consolidated financial statements. These ventures allow the outside limited partners to put their interest in the partnership to us in exchange for our common shares or an equivalent amount in cash. We may acquire any limited partnership interests that are put to the partnership, and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. We also participate in a real estate venture that has a property in Texas that allows its outside partner to put operating partnership units to us. We have the option to redeem these units in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. No common shares were issued in exchange for any of these interests during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The aggregate redemption value of these interests was approximately $41 million and $42 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
As of December 31, 2013, we have entered into commitments aggregating $66.0 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will limit our expenses if contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs.
While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in additional liabilities to us.
Litigation
During 2013, we settled a lawsuit filed in 2011 against our joint venture partner in connection with a development project in Sheridan, Colorado for failure to perform on the joint venture’s past due intercompany note payable to us. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, a $16.1 million note receivable was paid (see Note 5 for further information) in exchange for cash and real property totaling $19.1 million, receipt of our partner’s interest in two consolidated joint ventures resulting in an increase of approximately $16.2 million in noncontrolling interests and distribution of our interest in two unconsolidated joint ventures with total assets of $23.2 million.
We are also involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, our management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, any additional liability, if any, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 22.      Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated VIEs:
Two of our real estate joint ventures whose activities principally consist of owning and operating 28 neighborhood/community shopping centers in 2013 and 30 centers in 2012, located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, were determined to be VIEs. Based on financing agreements that are guaranteed solely by us, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary in both instances and have consolidated these joint ventures.

Table of Contents

Restrictions on the use of these assets are significant because they serve as collateral for the VIEs’ debt, and we would generally be required to obtain our partners’ approval in accordance with the joint venture agreements for any major transactions. Transactions with these joint ventures on our consolidated financial statements have been limited to changes in noncontrolling interests and reductions in debt from our partners’ contributions. We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements which include provisions for when additional contributions may be required including operating cash shortfalls and unplanned capital expenditures.
Unconsolidated VIEs:
At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, one and two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, respectively, were determined to be a VIEs through the issuance of secured loans, since the lenders had the ability to make decisions that could have a significant impact on the success of the entities.

The maximum risk of loss has been determined to be limited to our debt exposure for each real estate joint venture. The maximum risk of loss at December 31, 2012, includes $20.9 million of debt recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet due to its association with a tenancy-in-common arrangement that is no longer deemed a VIE.
We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements that specify conditions, including operating shortfalls and unplanned capital expenditures, under which additional contributions may be required.

Note 23.      Business Combinations
Effective December 23, 2013, we acquired a partner’s 50% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture related to a property in California, which resulted in the consolidation of this property. Management has determined that this transaction qualified as a business combination to be accounted for under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of this transaction were recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at its estimated fair value as of the effective date. Fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity interests were estimated using market-based measurements, including cash flow and other valuation techniques. The fair value measurement is based on both significant inputs for similar assets and liabilities in comparable markets and significant inputs that are not observable in the markets in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Key assumptions include third-party broker valuation estimates; a discount rate of 7.75%; a terminal capitalization rate for similar properties; and factors that we believe market participants would consider in estimating fair value. The result of this transaction is included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning December 23, 2013.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements:
Property Impairments
Property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any identifiable intangible assets, site costs and capitalized interest, may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we conclude that an impairment may have occurred, estimated fair values are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, appraisals, bona fide purchase offers or the expected sales price of an executed sales agreement in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Market capitalization rates and market discount rates are determined by reviewing current sales of similar properties and transactions, and utilizing management’s knowledge and expertise in property marketing.
Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships Impairments
The fair value of our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is estimated by management based on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment, the life and other terms of the investment, holding periods, market conditions, cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, appraisals and bona fide purchase offers in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Market capitalization rates and market discount rates are determined by reviewing current sales of similar properties and transactions, and utilizing management’s knowledge and expertise in property marketing. We recognize an impairment loss if we determine the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying amount and that loss in value is other than temporary.

In January 2014, we completed the dissolution of our consolidated real estate joint venture with Hines, in which we have a 30% ownership interest. At December 31, 2013, this joint venture held a portfolio of 13 properties located in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina with $172.9 million in total assets and $11.1 million of debt,net, which will be assumed by Hines. This transaction was completed through the distribution of five properties to us and eight properties to Hines. The eight properties distributed to Hines were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013 (see Note 15 for further information).
Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we sold two centers with gross proceeds totaling $55.6 million. Also, we received notice in December 2013 from the holder of one of our ground leases in Texas of their intent to exercise their purchase option under the ground lease. This transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2014, will result in the disposition of three properties, and we do not expect any impairment associated with this transaction.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.
There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Weingarten Realty Investors and its subsidiaries (“WRI”) maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, which is a process designed under the supervision of WRI’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by WRI’s Board of Trust Managers, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
WRI’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of WRI’s assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of WRI are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trust managers of WRI; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of WRI’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
WRI’s management has responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for WRI. Management, with the participation of WRI’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of WRI’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on their evaluation of WRI’s internal control over financial reporting, WRI’s management along with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that WRI’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2013.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, WRI’s independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules included in this Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of WRI’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trust Managers and Shareholders of
Weingarten Realty Investors
Houston, Texas
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Weingarten Realty Investors and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of trust managers, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trust managers of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, of the Company and our report dated February 26, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedules.

___________________
(1)
The tax basis of our net fixed asset exceeds the book value by approximately $88.0 million at December 31, 2013.
(2)
Encumbrances do not include $27.4 million outstanding under fixed-rate mortgage debt associated with three properties each held in a tenancy-in-common arrangement, $11.1 million outstanding associated under fixed-rate mortgage debt associated with properties classified as held for sale and $6.5 million of non-cash debt related items.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, generally over estimated useful lives of 18-40 years for buildings and 10-20 years for parking lot surfacing and equipment. Tenant and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining life of the lease or the useful life whichever is shorter.
