KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 

1.

Interim Financial Statements

 

Principles of Consolidation -

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kimco Realty Corporation (the “Company”), its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, (“VIE”), in accordance with the provisions and guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46(R)”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member as identified, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, Investors Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership when the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and current report on Form 8-K dated July 6, 2007.

 

Income Taxes -

 

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

                 In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits, therefore the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as other expense. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years (after 2003 for federal and state and after 2001 for Canada) based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter.

(a)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the effect of certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.

 

9

 


 

                 There were approximately 2,971,150 and 2,455,900 stock options that were anti-dilutive at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements -

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The impact of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 07-1, Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 sets forth more stringent criteria for qualifying as an investment company than does the predecessor Audit Guide. In addition, SOP 07-1 establishes new criteria for a parent company or equity method investor to retain investment company accounting in their consolidated financial statements. Investment companies record all their investments at fair value with changes in value reflected in earnings. SOP 07-1 was to be effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, however, in October 2007 the FASB agreed to propose an indefinite delay of the effective date of SOP 07-1. The impact of adopting SOP 07-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Dispositions -

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company (i) disposed of six operating properties and completed partial sales of three operating properties, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $40.0 million, which resulted in an aggregate net gain of approximately $6.4 million, after income tax of approximately $1.6 million, and (ii) transferred one operating property, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2007, to a joint venture in which the Company holds a 15% non-controlling ownership interest for an aggregate price of approximately $4.5 million, which represented the net book value.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, FNC Realty Corporation, a consolidated entity in which the Company holds a 53% controlling ownership interest, disposed of, in separate transactions, seven properties and completed the partial sale of an additional property, for an aggregate sales price of $10.4 million. These transactions resulted in pre-tax profits of approximately $4.7 million, before minority interest of $3.3 million. This income has been recorded as Income from other real estate investments in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

13

 


 

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, two consolidated joint ventures in which the Company had preferred equity investments disposed of, in separate transactions, their respective properties for an aggregate sales price of approximately $66.5 million. As a result of these capital transactions, the Company received approximately $22.1 million of profit participation, before minority interest of approximately $5.6 million. This profit participation has been recorded as income from other real estate investments and is reflected in Income from discontinued operating properties in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

3.

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company reports as discontinued operations properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold in the current period. The results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the caption Discontinued operations. This reporting has resulted in certain reclassifications of 2006 financial statement amounts.

 

The components of Income from operations relating to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are shown below. These include the results of operations through the date of each respective sale for properties sold during 2007 and 2006 and the operations for the applicable period for those assets classified as held-for-sale as of September 30, 2007 (in thousands):

                 During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company classified as held-for-sale ten shopping center properties comprising approximately 0.6 million square feet of GLA. The book value of each of these properties, aggregating approximately $80.7 million, net of accumulated depreciation of approximately $4.9 million, did not exceed each of their estimated fair values. As a result, no adjustment of property carrying value has been recorded. The Company’s determination of the fair value for each of these properties, aggregating approximately $116.8 million, is based primarily upon executed contracts of sale with third parties less estimated selling costs. During 2007, the Company completed the sale of five of these properties.

Ground-Up Development

 

The Company is engaged in ground-up development projects which consist of (i) merchant building through the Company’s wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Kimco Developers, Inc. (“KDI”), which develops neighborhood and community shopping centers and the subsequent sale thereof upon completion, (ii) U.S. ground-up development projects which will be held as long-term investments by the Company and (iii) various ground-up development projects located in Mexico for long-term investment. The ground-up development projects generally have substantial pre-leasing prior to the commencement of construction. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had in progress a total of 59 ground-up development projects, including 29 merchant building projects, ten U.S. ground-up development projects and 20 ground-up development projects located throughout Mexico.

These loans have original maturities ranging from two to 36 months and interest rates ranging from 7.04% to 7.57% at September 30, 2007.

 

Additionally, during January 2007, the Company acquired, through a wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary, land in Fairfax City, VA, for a purchase price of approximately $30.0 million, including the assumption of approximately $1.4 million of construction loan debt, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. The total commitment on the construction loan is $31.3 million and matures in April 2009. As of September 30, 2007, there was $13.0 million funded on the construction loan. The land will be developed into a 0.1 million square foot retail center and will be marketed for sale upon completion. Total estimated project costs are approximately $26.4 million. During September 2007, the Company completed a partial sale of this property for a sales price of approximately $5.9 million. Proceeds of approximately $4.4 million from this sale were used for the partial repayment of the construction loan. There was no gain or loss recognized on this transaction.

Kimsouth

 

On May 12, 2006, the Company acquired an additional 48% interest in Kimsouth Realty Inc. (“Kimsouth”) a joint venture investment in which the Company had previously held a 44.5% non-controlling interest, for approximately $22.9 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company’s total ownership increased to 92.5% and the Company became the controlling shareholder. The Company commenced consolidation of Kimsouth upon the closing date. The acquisition of the additional 48% ownership interest has been accounted for as a step acquisition with the purchase price being allocated to the identified assets and liabilities of Kimsouth. As of May 12, 2006, Kimsouth consisted of four properties, three of which were sold/transferred during 2006.

 

As of May 12, 2006, Kimsouth had approximately $133.0 million of net operating loss carry-forwards (“NOLs”) which could be utilized to offset future taxable income of Kimsouth. The Company evaluated the need for a valuation allowance based on projected taxable income and determined that a valuation allowance of approximately $34.2 million was required. As such, a purchase price adjustment of $17.5 million was recorded.

 

During June 2006, Kimsouth contributed approximately $51.0 million, of which $47.2 million or 92.5% was provided by the Company, to fund its 15% non-controlling interest in a newly formed joint venture with an investment group to acquire a portion of Albertson’s Inc. To maximize investment returns, the investment group’s strategy with respect to this joint venture, includes refinancing, selling selected stores and the enhancement of operations at the remaining stores. Kimsouth accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, this joint venture completed the disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets in the joint venture. As a result of these transactions Kimsouth received cash distributions of approximately $138.6 million. Kimsouth has a remaining capital commitment obligation to fund up to an additional $15.0 million for general purposes. Due to this remaining capital commitment, excess cash received over the Company’s investment of approximately $15.0 million is included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Kimsouth’s income from the Albertson’s joint venture aggregated approximately $43.6 million, net of income tax. This amount includes (i) an operating loss of approximately $15.1 million, net of an income tax benefit of approximately $10.1 million, (ii) distribution in excess of Kimsouth’s investment of approximately $4.4 million, net of income tax expense of approximately $3.0 million and (iii) an extraordinary gain of approximately $54.3 million, net of income tax expense of approximately $36.2 million, resulting from purchase price allocation adjustments as determined in accordance with FASB No. 141, Business Combinations. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,

 

17

 


 

 

the Company has classified its 15% share of the extraordinary gain, net of income taxes, as a separate component on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

During 2007, Kimsouth sold its remaining property for an aggregate sales price of approximately $9.1 million. This sale resulted in a gain of approximately $7.9 million, net of income taxes.

 

As a result of the Albertson’s transaction and the property sale described above, the Company has reduced the valuation allowance that was applied against Kimsouth NOLs resulting in an income tax benefit of approximately $27.4 million. At September 30, 2007, Kimsouth has deferred tax assets of approximately $15.1 million representing the tax effect of approximately $38.6 million of NOL’s that expire from 2021 to 2023. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that a net deferred tax asset of approximately $8.3 million will be realized on future tax returns, primarily from the generation of future taxable income and therefore, a valuation allowance of $6.8 million has been established for a portion of these deferred tax assets.

During April 2007, the Company entered into a CAD $16.7 million (approximately USD $14.7 million) one-year convertible bridge facility with a developer of a ground up retail development project in Ontario, Canada. The facility bears interest at 10% per annum. This facility is secured by the subject property and other properties owned by the borrower and can be converted, at the option of the lender, after one year into a 25% interest in the retail development project. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of this facility was approximately CAD $16.7 million (approximately USD $16.8 million).

 

During January 2006, the Company provided approximately $5.2 million as its share of an $11.5 million term loan to a real estate developer for an acquisition of a 59 acre land parcel located in San Antonio, TX. This loan was interest only at a

 

25

 


 

fixed rate of 11.0% for a term of one year with a one year extension, payable monthly and collateralized by a first mortgage on the subject property. During August 2007, the Company received a $5.2 million payment as full satisfaction of the loan.

Notes Payable

 

During April 2007, the Company issued $300.0 million of ten-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 5.70% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears. These notes were sold at 99.984% of par value. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $297.8 million, after related transaction costs of approximately $2.2 million. The proceeds from this issuance were primarily used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under the Company’s U.S. revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company repaid its $30.0 million 7.46% fixed rate notes, which matured on May 20, 2007, its $55.0 million 5.75% fixed rate notes, which matured on June 29, 2007 and its $20.0 million 6.96% fixed rate notes, which matured on July 16, 2007.

 

During August 2007, the Company obtained a $200.0 million unsecured term loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.325%. The term loan was scheduled to mature on December 14, 2007.

Incentive Plans

 

The Company maintains an equity participation plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which a maximum of 42,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued for qualified and non-qualified options and restricted stock grants. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, options granted under the Plan generally vest ratably over a three or five year term, expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable at the market price on the date of grant. Restricted stock grants vest 100% on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. In addition, the Plan provides for the granting of certain options to each of the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Independent Directors”) and permits such Independent Directors to elect to receive deferred stock awards in lieu of directors’ fees.

 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.

 

27

 


 

                 The Company recognized stock option compensation expense of $9.0 million and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had $29.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Company’s Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.6 years.

Subsequent Events

 

During October 2007, the Company issued 18,400,000 Depositary Shares (the “Class G Depositary Shares”), after the exercise of an over-allotment option, each representing a one-hundredth fractional interest in a share of the Company’s 7.75% Class G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Class G Preferred Stock”). Dividends on the Class G Depositary Shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at the rate of 7.75% per annum based on the $25.00 per share initial offering price, or $1.9375 per annum. The Class G

28

 


 

Depositary Shares are redeemable, in whole or part, for cash on or after October 10, 2012 at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $25.00 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The Class G Depositary Shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company. Net proceeds from the sale of the Class G Depositary Shares, totaling approximately $444.5 million (after related transaction costs of $15.5 million) will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding property acquisitions, investments in the Company’s institutional management programs and other investment activities. The Company also used a portion of the proceeds to partially repay amounts outstanding under its U.S. revolving credit facility.

 

During October 2007, the Company established a $1.5 billion unsecured U.S. revolving credit facility (the “U.S. Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to expire in October 2011. This credit facility, which replaced the Company’s $850.0 million unsecured U.S. revolving facility, has made available funds to finance general corporate purposes, including (i) property acquisitions, (ii) investments in the Company’s institutional management programs, (iii) development and redevelopment costs and (iv) any short-term working capital requirements. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Facility accrues at LIBOR plus 0.375% and fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings. As part of this U.S. Credit Facility, the Company has a competitive bid option whereby the Company may auction up to $750.0 million of its requested borrowings to the bank group. This competitive bid option provides the Company the opportunity to obtain pricing below the currently stated spread. A facility fee of 0.125% per annum is payable quarterly in arrears. As part of the U.S. Credit Facility, the Company has a $200.0 million sub-limit which provides it the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies such as Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or Euros. Pursuant to the terms of the U.S. Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured and secured debt and (ii) minimum interest and fixed coverage ratios.

Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Company contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) general economic and local real estate conditions, (ii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in their business, (iii) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt or other sources of financing on favorable terms, (iv) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (v) the level and volatility of interest rates, (vi) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities and (vii) increases in operating costs. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized.

 

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

 

Executive Summary

 

Kimco Realty Corporation is one of the nation’s largest publicly-traded owners and operators of neighborhood and community shopping centers. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had interests in 1,959 properties, totaling approximately 183 million square feet of gross leaseable area (“GLA”) located in 45 states, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Puerto Rico.

 

The Company is self-administered and self-managed through present management, which has owned and managed neighborhood and community shopping centers for over 45 years. The executive officers are engaged in the day-to-day

 

30

 


 

management and operation of real estate exclusively with the Company, with nearly all operating functions, including leasing, asset management, maintenance, construction, legal, finance and accounting administered by the Company.

 

The Company, through its taxable REIT subsidiaries, is engaged in various retail real estate-related opportunities including (i) merchant building, through its Kimco Developers, Inc. (“KDI”) subsidiary, which is primarily engaged in the ground-up development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and the subsequent sale thereof upon completion, (ii) retail real estate advisory and disposition services, which primarily focuses on leasing and disposition strategies of retail real estate controlled by both healthy and distressed and/or bankrupt retailers and (iii) acting as an agent or principal in connection with tax deferred exchange transactions. The Company will consider other investments through taxable REIT subsidiaries should suitable opportunities arise.

 

In addition, the Company continues to capitalize on its established expertise in retail real estate by establishing other ventures in which the Company owns a smaller equity interest and provides management, leasing and operational support for those properties. The Company also provides preferred equity capital for real estate entrepreneurs and provides real estate capital and advisory services to both healthy and distressed retailers. The Company also makes selective investments in secondary market opportunities where a security or other investment is, in management’s judgment, priced below the value of the underlying real estate.

 

The Company’s strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet while investing opportunistically and selectively. The Company intends to continue to execute its plan of delivering solid growth in earnings and dividends.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues from rental property increased $24.6 million or 16.5% to $173.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with $149.1 million for the corresponding quarter ended September 30, 2006. Similarly, revenues from rental property increased $70.0 million or 16.2% to $501.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with $431.9 million for the corresponding nine month period ended September 30, 2006. These net increases resulted primarily from the combined effect of (i) the acquisition of operating properties during 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, providing incremental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of approximately $22.6 million and $65.2 million, respectively, (ii) an overall occupancy increase from the consolidated shopping center portfolio to 95.7% at September 30, 2007, as compared to 94.5% at September 30, 2006, growth in rental rates from renewing expiring leases and the completion of certain redevelopment and development projects and tenant buyouts providing incremental revenues of approximately $3.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding period in 2006,

 

31

 


 

offset by (iii) a decrease in revenues of approximately $1.7 million and $6.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year, resulting from the transfer of operating properties to various unconsolidated joint venture entities, and the sale of certain properties during 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

Rental property expenses, increased approximately $5.5 million or 13.7% to $45.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with $40.3 million for the corresponding quarter ended September 30, 2006. Similarly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, rental property expenses, increased $17.4 million or 15.0% to $133.7 million as compared with $116.3 million for the corresponding period in the preceding year. Additionally, depreciation and amortization increased approximately $12.5 million and $38.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2006. These increases in rental property expenses and depreciation and amortization are primarily due to operating property acquisitions during 2007 and 2006 which were partially offset by operating property dispositions including those transferred to various joint venture entities.

 

Mortgage and other financing income decreased $3.9 million to $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $15.8 million for the corresponding period in 2006. This decrease is primarily due to the recognition of accretion income of approximately $6.2 million, resulting from the early pre-payment of a mortgage receivable in 2006 partially offset by an overall increase in interest income on mortgage receivables entered into in 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

Management and other fee income increased approximately $2.9 million and $13.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2006. These increases are primarily due to increased property management fees and other transaction related fees related to the growth in the Company’s co-investment programs.

 

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $6.9 million and $21.1 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2006. These increases are primarily due to personnel-related costs, primarily due to growth within the Company’s co-investment programs and the overall continued growth of the Company.

 

Interest, dividends and other investment income increased approximately $2.0 million and decreased $7.8 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2006. The increase in the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding period in 2006 is primarily due to an increase in realized gains of approximately $1.4 million resulting from the sale of certain marketable securities

 

32

 


 

during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding period in 2006 is primarily due to a decrease in realized gains of approximately $13.2 million resulting from the sale of certain marketable securities during the corresponding period in 2006, partially offset by an increase in interest income of approximately $4.9 million resulting primarily from growth in the Company’s marketable securities portfolio during 2006 and 2007.

 

Other (expense)/income, net decreased $14.0 million to $6.0 million in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $8.0 million in income for the corresponding period in 2006. This decrease is primarily due to (i) the receipt of fewer shares during 2007 as compared to 2006 of Sears Holding Corp. common stock received as partial settlement of Kmart pre-petition claims and (ii) an increase in Canadian withholding tax expense on profit participation proceeds received during 2007 relating to capital transactions from a Canadian preferred equity investment.

 

Interest expense increased $14.1 million and $32.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2006. These increases are due to higher interest rates and higher outstanding levels of debt during these periods as compared to the same periods in the preceding year.

 

Benefit for income taxes increased $33.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding period in 2006. This increase is primarily due to the reduction of approximately $27.4 million of NOL valuation allowance and a tax benefit of approximately $10.1 million from operating losses recognized in connection with the Albertson’s investment.

 

Income from other real estate investments decreased $7.3 million to $19.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $27.2 million for the corresponding period in 2006. This decrease is primarily due to pre-tax profits earned in 2006 of approximately $7.9 million from the transfer of two properties from Kimsouth to a joint venture in which the Company holds an 18% non-controlling interest. Income from other real estate investments increased $5.9 million to $66.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $60.9 million for the corresponding period in 2006. This increase is primarily due to increased activity in the Company’s Preferred Equity program which contributed profit of $54.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $29.8 million for the corresponding periods in 2006, partially offset by pre-tax profits earned in 2006 from the sale/transfer of properties.

 

Equity in income of real estate joint ventures, net increased $10.0 million to $39.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $29.3 million for the corresponding period in 2006. This increase is primarily due to pre-tax income from the Albertson’s investment resulting from an additional cash distribution relating to the Albertson’s monetization. Similarly, equity in income of

 

33

 


 

real estate joint ventures, net increased $38.9 million to $111.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with $72.8 million for the corresponding period in 2006. This increase is primarily the result of (i) an increase in equity in income from the Kimco Realty Opportunity Portfolio joint venture investment (“KROP”) primarily resulting from profit participation of approximately $34.0 million and gains on sale/transfer of operating properties during 2007 of which the Company’s share of gains were $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and (ii) the Company’s growth of its various other real estate joint ventures due to additional capital investments for the acquisition of additional operating properties by the ventures throughout 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, partially offset by net operating losses from the Albertson’s joint venture of approximately $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, KDI sold, in separate transactions, two completed projects, 19 out-parcels, 67.9 acres of undeveloped land and the residential component of a project for approximately $179.2 million and received approximately $2.0 million of proceeds from completed earn-out requirements on previously sold projects. These transactions resulted in gains of approximately $12.7 million, net of income taxes of $8.5 million.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, KDI sold three recently completed projects, one partnership interest and 21 out-parcels, in separate transactions, for approximately $132.3 million. These sales resulted in gains of approximately $14.8 million, net of income taxes of $9.9 million, which excludes approximately $1.1 million of gains on one of the projects, which was deferred due to the Company’s continued ownership interest.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company (i) disposed of six operating properties and completed partial sales of three operating properties, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $40.0 million, which resulted in an aggregate net gain of approximately $6.4 million, after income tax of approximately $1.6 million and (ii) transferred one operating property, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2007, to a joint venture in which the Company holds a 15% non-controlling ownership interest for an aggregate price of approximately $4.5 million, which represented the net book value.

 

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, two consolidated joint ventures in which the Company had preferred equity investments disposed of, in separate transactions, their respective properties for an aggregate sales price of approximately $66.5 million. As a result of these capital transactions, the Company received approximately $22.1 million of profit participation, before minority interest of approximately $5.6 million. This profit participation has been recorded as income from other real estate investments and is reflected in Income from discontinued operating properties in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

34

 


 

                 During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company disposed of 15 operating properties for an aggregate sales price of $129.4 million, which resulted in an aggregate net gain of approximately $30.5 million, after income taxes of $2.1 million relating to the sale of one property, and transferred five operating properties to joint ventures in which the Company has 20% non-controlling interests for an aggregate price of approximately $95.4 million, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1.4 million for one transferred property.

 

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $78.0 million and $359.8 million, respectively. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $91.4 million and $296.4 million, respectively. On a diluted per share basis, net income decreased $0.07 to $0.29 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $0.36 for the corresponding quarter in the previous year. On a diluted per share basis, net income improved $0.18 to $1.37 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $1.19 for the corresponding period in 2006. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding period in 2006, was primarily due to an increase in non-cash depreciation expense resulting from property acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding period in 2006, was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in revenues from rental properties primarily due to acquisitions of operating properties during 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, (ii) an increase in equity in income of real estate joint ventures achieved from profit participation and gains on sale of joint venture operating properties and additional capital investments in the Company’s joint venture programs for the acquisition of additional operating properties throughout 2007 and 2006 and (iii) a contribution of $66.1 million related to the Albertson’s investment monetization, partially offset by, (iv) a decrease in income resulting from the sale of certain marketable securities during the corresponding periods in 2006.

 

Tenant Concentration

 

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties, avoiding dependence on any single property, and a large tenant base. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s five largest tenants were The Home Depot, TJX Companies, Sears Holdings, Kohl’s, and Wal-Mart, which represented approximately 3.3%, 2.9%, 2.3%, 2.1% and 1.9%, respectively, of the Company’s annualized base rental revenues including the proportionate share of base rental revenues from properties in which the Company has less than a 100% economic interest.

Operating Activities

 

Cash flows provided from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $560.3 million, as compared to approximately $360.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase of approximately $199.5 million is primarily attributable to increased cash flows due to (i) the acquisition of properties during 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, (ii) an increase in revenues from rental properties due to an overall occupancy increase from the consolidated shopping center portfolio, growth in rental rates from renewing expiring leases and the completion of certain re-development and development projects, and (iii) an increase in distributions from joint ventures primarily received from the Company’s investment in KROP resulting from the distribution of profit participation proceeds and distributions in excess of basis from the Albertsons investment.

 

The Company anticipates that cash flows from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital to fund its operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short term and long term. In addition, the Company anticipates that cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facilities, issuance of equity and public debt, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company. Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was primarily attributable to (i) cash flow from the diverse portfolio of rental properties, (ii) the acquisition of operating properties during 2007 and 2006, (iii) new leasing, expansion and re-tenanting of core portfolio properties and (iv) growth in the Company’s joint venture and Preferred Equity programs.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash flows used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $1.4 billion, as compared to approximately $954.8 million for the comparable period in 2006. This increase in cash utilization of $406.6 million resulted primarily from an increase in acquisition of and improvements to operating real estate and real estate under development and an increase in the

 

36

 


 

Company’s investments and advances to joint ventures, partially offset by reimbursements of other investments received in 2007 as compared to 2006.

 

Acquisitions and Redevelopments -

 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company expended approximately $889.1 million towards acquisition of and improvements to operating real estate.

 

In addition, the Company has an ongoing program to reformat and re-tenant its properties to maintain or enhance its competitive position in the marketplace. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company expended approximately $48.7 million in connection with these major redevelopments and re-tenanting projects. The Company anticipates its capital commitment toward these and other redevelopment projects during 2007 will be approximately $75.0 million to $100.0 million. The funding of these capital requirements will be provided by cash flow from operating activities and availability under the Company’s revolving lines of credit.

 

Investments and Advances to Joint Ventures -

 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company expended approximately $330.6 million for investments and advances to real estate joint ventures and received approximately $198.4 million from reimbursements of advances to real estate joint ventures. In addition, the Company received approximately $53.2 million from reimbursement of other investments.

 

Ground-up Development -

 

The Company is engaged in ground-up development projects which consist of (i) merchant building through the Company’s wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, KDI, which develops neighborhood and community shopping centers and the subsequent sale thereof upon completion, (ii) U.S. ground-up development projects which will be held as long-term investments by the Company and (iii) various ground-up development projects located in Mexico for long-term investment. The ground-up development projects generally have substantial pre-leasing prior to the commencement of construction. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had in progress a total of 59 ground-up development projects, including 29 merchant building projects, ten U.S. ground-up development projects and 20 ground-up development projects located throughout Mexico.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company expended approximately $503.0 million in connection with the purchase of land and construction costs related to these projects. These projects are currently proceeding on schedule and substantially in line with the Company’s budgeted costs. The Company anticipates its capital commitment during 2007 toward these and other

 

37

 


 

development projects will be approximately $550 million to $600 million. The proceeds from the sales of the completed ground-up development projects, proceeds from construction loans and availability under the Company’s revolving lines of credit are expected to be sufficient to fund these anticipated capital requirements.

 

Dispositions and Transfers -

 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $235.3 million relating to the sale of various operating/development properties and ground-up development projects and approximately $61.2 million from the transfer of operating/development properties to various joint ventures.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash flows provided from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $501.5 million, as compared to approximately $620.5 million for the comparable period in 2006. This decrease of approximately $119.0 million resulted primarily from (i) a decrease in proceeds received from the issuance of stock and (ii) repayment of unsecured notes, which matured in 2007, partially offset by (i) a decrease in the repayment of borrowings under the revolving credit facilities in 2007 as compared to 2006 and (ii) an increase in borrowings under the revolving credit facilities in 2007 due to increased acquisitions during the period.

 

It is management’s intention that the Company continually has access to the capital resources necessary to expand and develop its business. As such, the Company intends to operate with and maintain a conservative capital structure with a level of debt to total market capitalization of 50% or less. As of September 30, 2007, the Company’s level of debt to total market capitalization was 27%. In addition, the Company intends to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios as part of its commitment to maintaining its investment-grade debt ratings. The Company may, from time-to-time, seek to obtain funds through additional equity offerings, unsecured debt financings and/or mortgage/construction loan financings and other capital alternatives in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a conservative debt structure.

 

Since the completion of the Company’s IPO in 1991, the Company has utilized the public debt and equity markets as its principal source of capital for its expansion needs. Since the IPO, the Company has completed additional offerings of its public unsecured debt and equity, raising in the aggregate over $5.7 billion for the purposes of, among other things, repaying indebtedness, acquiring interests in neighborhood and community shopping centers, funding ground-up development projects, expanding and improving properties in the portfolio and other investments.

The Company had an $850.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in July 2008. This credit facility made available funds to both finance the purchase of properties and other investments and meet any short-term working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2007, there was $425.0 million outstanding under this credit facility.

 

During October 2007, the Company established a $1.5 billion unsecured U.S. revolving credit facility (the “U.S. Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to expire in October 2011. This credit facility, which replaced the Company’s $850.0 million unsecured U.S. revolving facility, referred to above, has made available funds to finance general corporate purposes, including (i) property acquisitions, (ii) investments in the Company’s institutional management programs, (iii) development and redevelopment costs and (iv) any short-term working capital requirements. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Facility accrues at LIBOR plus 0.375% and fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings. As part of this U.S. Credit Facility, the Company has a competitive bid option whereby the Company may auction up to $750.0 million of its requested borrowings to the bank group. This competitive bid option provides the Company the opportunity to obtain pricing below the currently stated spread. A facility fee of 0.125% per annum is payable quarterly in arrears. As part of the U.S. Credit Facility, the Company has a $200.0 million sub-limit which provides it the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies such as Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or Euros. Pursuant to the terms of the U.S. Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum leverage ratios on both secured and unsecured debt and (ii) minimum interest and fixed coverage ratios.

 

Additionally, the Company has a Canadian denominated (“CAD”) $250.0 million unsecured credit facility with a group of banks, which is scheduled to expire in March 2008. Proceeds from this facility are used for general corporate purposes including the funding of Canadian denominated investments. As of September 30, 2007, there was no outstanding balance under this credit facility.

 

The Company also has a Mexican Peso denominated (“MXP”) 500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in May 2008. Proceeds from this facility are used to fund peso denominated investments. As of September 30, 2007, there was no outstanding balance under this facility.

 

During August 2007, the Company obtained a $200.0 million unsecured term loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.325%. The term loan was scheduled to mature on December 14, 2007. The Company utilized these proceeds to partially repay the outstanding balance on the Company’s U.S. revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2007, there was $200.0 million outstanding under this term loan at an interest rate of 5.45% per annum. The term loan was fully repaid in October 2007.

 

39

 


 

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

 

During April 2007, the Company issued $300.0 million of ten-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 5.70% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears. These notes were sold at 99.984% of par value. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $297.8 million, after related transaction costs of approximately $2.2 million. The proceeds from this issuance were primarily used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under the Company’s U.S. revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company repaid its $30.0 million 7.46% fixed rate notes, which matured on May 20, 2007, its $55.0 million 5.75% fixed rate notes, which matured on June 29, 2007 and its $20.0 million 6.96% fixed rate notes which matured on July 16, 2007.

 

During May 2006, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, which is effective for a term of three-years, for the future unlimited offerings, from time-to-time, of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock and common stock warrants.

 

During October 2007, the Company issued 18,400,000 Depositary Shares (the “Class G Depositary Shares”), after the exercise of an over-allotment option, each representing a one-hundredth fractional interest in a share of the Company’s 7.75% Class G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Class G Preferred Stock”). Dividends on the Class G Depositary Shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears at the rate of 7.75% per annum based on the $25.00 per share initial offering price, or $1.9375 per annum. The Class G Depositary Shares are redeemable, in whole or part, for cash on or after October 10, 2012 at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $25.00 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The Class G Depositary Shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company. Net proceeds from the sale of the Class G Depositary Shares, totaling approximately $444.5 million (after related transaction costs of $15.5 million) will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding property acquisitions, investments in the Company’s institutional management programs and other investment activities. The Company also used a portion of the proceeds to partially repay amounts outstanding under its U.S. revolving credit facility.

 

In addition to the public equity and debt markets as capital sources, the Company may, from time-to-time, obtain mortgage financing on selected properties and construction loans to partially fund the capital needs of its ground-up development projects. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had over 395 unencumbered property interests in its portfolio.

 

40

 


 

In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its stockholders. These dividends will be paid from operating cash flows, which are expected to increase due to property acquisitions, growth in operating income in the existing portfolio and from other investments. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate.

 

Although the Company receives substantially all of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it generally intends to continue paying dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. Cash dividends paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $280.5 million and $242.8 million, respectively. The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share payable to shareholders of record on October 3, 2007, which was paid on October 15, 2007.

 

Other Commitments

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits, therefore the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

During June 2007, the Company entered into a non-controlling joint venture to acquire all of the common stock of InTown Suites Management, Inc. This investment was funded with approximately $186.0 million of new cross-collateralized non-recourse mortgage debt with an interest rate of 5.59%, encumbering 35 properties, a $153.0 million three-year unsecured credit facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.325% and is guaranteed by the Company and the assumption of $278.6 million cross-collateralized non-recourse mortgage debt with interest rates ranging from 5.19% to 5.89%, encumbering 86 properties. The

 

41

 


 

joint venture partner has pledged its equity interest for any guaranty payment the Company is obligated to pay. The outstanding balance on the three-year unsecured credit facility was $149.0 million as of September 30, 2007.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

Many of the Company’s leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive payment of additional rent calculated as a percentage of tenants’ gross sales above pre-determined thresholds, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses may include increases based upon changes in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of the Company’s leases are for ten years or less, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents to market rates upon renewal. Most of the Company’s leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. The Company periodically evaluates its exposure to short-term interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and will, from time to time, enter into interest rate protection agreements and/or foreign currency hedge agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on its floating-rate debt and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Based on the Company’s variable-rate debt balances, interest expense would have increased by approximately $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 if short-term interest rates were 1% higher.

 

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had (i) Canadian investments totaling CAD $476.8 million (approximately USD $479.4 million) comprised of real estate joint venture investments and marketable securities, (ii) Mexican real estate investments of approximately MXP 6.6 billion (approximately USD $606.6 million) and (iii) Chilean real estate investments of approximately 1.6 billion Chilean Pesos (“CLP”) (approximately USD $3.0 million). The foreign currency exchange risk has been partially mitigated through the use of local currency denominated debt and a cross currency swap (the “CC Swap”) with major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counter-party to the CC Swap. The Company believes it mitigated its credit risk by entering into the CC Swap with major financial institutions.

 

The Company has not, and does not plan to, enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had no other material exposure to market risk.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that

 

43

 


 

it files or submits under the Exchange Act and were accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
