NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"), as defined under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As noted in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company became the
successor entity to U.S. Restaurant Properties Master L.P. (collectively with
its subsidiaries, "USRP"). The business and operations of the Company are
conducted primarily through U.S. Restaurant Properties Operating L.P. ("OP"). At
June 30, 2001, the Company owned 99.26% of and controlled the OP. As of June 30,
2001, the Company owned 828 properties in 48 states.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2000, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been
condensed or omitted in this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and
Regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the disclosures contained
in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on
estimates than at year end and the results of operations for the interim periods
shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal
recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position of the Company as of June 30, 2001, the consolidated results of its
operations, comprehensive operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the leasing of its properties to
operators (primarily restaurants) on a "triple net" basis. Triple net leases
typically require the tenants to be responsible for property operating costs,
including property taxes, insurance, maintenance and in most cases the ground
lease rents where applicable. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include costs for property taxes and
insurance which are the responsibility of the tenants. Additionally, those
amounts associated with ground lease rent expense where the tenant is
responsible for the ground lease rents have been recorded as a reduction to rent
revenues with no impact on net income. For the three and six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000, the Company has recorded rent expense of $1,023,000 and
$1,999,000 in 2001, respectively, and $1,013,000 and $2,035,000 in 2000,
respectively, as reductions to rent revenues.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported
amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of and for the
reporting periods. Actual results may differ from such estimates.
Amounts in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to current period
presentation.
As disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for December 31, 2000, the Company
revised its accounting for contingent rent on a prospective basis, effective May
21, 1998, to account for contingent rents in accordance with the initial
consensus reached in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues
Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim
Financial Periods." As the Company has already complied with the requirements of
accounting for contingent rents, the Company believes it is in compliance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements" which was effective October 1, 2000.
10
11
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, was effective for
the Company January 1, 2001. This standard requires that all derivative
financial instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the
balance sheet at their fair values and that accounting for the changes in the
fair values is dependent upon the intended use of the derivatives and their
resulting designations. If the derivative is designated as a fair-value hedge,
the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item will be
recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge,
changes in fair value of the derivative will be recorded in other comprehensive
income and will be recorded in the statement of operations when the hedged item
affects earnings. SFAS No. 133 defines new requirements for designation and
documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness
assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not
qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings.
The adoption of SFAS No. 133, as of January 1, 2001 resulted in the recognition
of a liability of $1,474,000, with a cumulative effect adjustment to other
comprehensive income of $1,474,000.
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" is effective July 1, 2001 and prohibits
pooling-of-interests accounting for acquisitions. SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" is effective January 1, 2002 and specifies that
goodwill and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will
be subject to periodic impairment testing. The Company has not yet determined
the effect adopting SFAS No. 142 will have on its financial statements.
The Company had 17,886,156 and 17,416,672 shares of common stock outstanding as
of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.
2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
A reconciliation of net income (loss) per share and the weighted average shares
outstanding for calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for

dividend of $.4825 per share of preferred stock payable on September
15, 2000 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2000.
(b) Basic income (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income
(loss) per share typically reflects the dilutive effect of stock
options, contingent shares, OP units, OP units and shares on which the
price is guaranteed and convertible preferred stock.
3. PROPERTY
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company completed the sale and
disposal of 22 properties for net cash proceeds of $14,493,000, net of closing
costs, and $878,000 of notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the
Company transferred $7,855,000 of construction costs and costs associated with
land, on which no further development work is intended to be performed, from
construction in progress to land, building and equipment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company acquired one building
from a tenant who defaulted on a land-only lease. The building was recorded at
the carrying value of the receivable due from the tenant which was less than the
fair market value of the building.
During the three months ended March 31, 2001, BC Oil Ventures LLC, the tenant
leasing the Company's service stations and fuel terminal in Hawaii, defaulted on
their monthly rent payments. After careful assessment of various
12
13
factors relevant to these properties, management determined it was appropriate
to sell these properties. Accordingly, the Company has classified these
properties as Assets Held for Sale in the amount of $22,094,000, and an
impairment charge of $7,743,000 was recorded to write these assets down to
estimated proceeds from the anticipated disposal of these properties net of
estimated costs to sell. It is anticipated that the sale of these properties
will be completed within one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2001 the
Company recognized $712,000 of revenue and $1,131,000 of operating expenses
related to these properties. In order to ensure the subtenants in these service
stations receive fuel on a regular basis, in May 2001 the Company formed a
subsidiary, Fuel Supply Inc. ("FSI"), for the purpose of supplying the service
stations with fuel. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, FSI recognized
$1,986,000 in revenues and income from operations of $191,000. Financial
information on FSI has been segregated on the accompanying financial statements
under the caption "Retail".
Also during the first quarter of 2001, management analyzed service stations in
Missouri, Illinois and Texas which were late paying rent and defaulting on
certain lease terms for possible impairment. It was determined that 16 of these
properties had carrying values in excess of their fair value. The Company
recorded an impairment charge of $7,567,000 to revalue these assets to their
estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of these assets was determined by
discounting the estimated cash flows of each asset. As a result of the Company's
regular analysis of its investments to determine if circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, additional impairment
charges of $739,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were recorded in
order to revalue ten other assets to their estimated fair value.
4. INVESTMENTS
The aggregate cost basis and net unrealized loss for investments classified as
available for sale at June 30, 2001 were $4,440,000 and $1,795,000,
respectively. The net unrealized gain is recorded as accumulated other
comprehensive gain (loss) of which a gain of $45,000 was recorded during the six
months ended June 30, 2001. In addition to these investments, the Company has
other investments carried at a cost basis of approximately $586,000.
5. LINES OF CREDIT, BRIDGE LOAN AND NOTES PAYABLE
In January 2001, the Company entered into an Indenture agreement with Bank of
America for a secured bridge facility of $175,000,000. Proceeds from this bridge
facility were used to pay-off the outstanding balance of the $175,000,000
revolving credit line and the $50,000,000 unsecured term loan from Credit
Lyonnais. The Indenture bears interest at the 30 - day LIBOR plus 225 basis
points. The initial term of the bridge loan matured in July 2001, and the
Company entered into options to extend the facility through August 31, 2001. If
required, the Company has the option to extend the facility through January 8,
2002. At June 30, 2001 there was $161,997,000 outstanding on the bridge
facility.
The Company expects to complete and fund a private placement securitization for
$180,000,000 on August 14 or 15, 2001. The Company will secure this facility
with 273 properties having a net book value of $209,469,000. Proceeds from this
placement will be used to pay-off the existing bridge facility and for general
corporate purposes. The securitization will bear interest at the 30 - day LIBOR
plus 100.6 basis points and will be due August 28, 2006. In conjunction with the
securitization, the Company will enter into two derivative instruments; an
interest rate swap at a fixed rate of 3.825% for one year on a notional amount
of $50,000,000 and an interest rate collar with a floor of 4.42% and a ceiling
at 6.00% for four years on a notional amount of $80,000,000. These derivatives
will effectively lock in $50,000,000 at 4.8310% (3.825% plus 1.006%) for one
year and lock in $80,000,000 at between 5.4260% (4.42% plus 1.006%) and 7.006%
(6.0% plus 1.006%) for four years.
Simultaneously with the close of the Bank of America Indenture, the Company
entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America for an unsecured revolving
credit facility in the amount of $7,000,000. The Credit Agreement has a term of
up to two years and bears interest in traunches of 30, 60, 90 or 180 - day LIBOR
contracts plus 225 basis points. The Credit Agreement also provides that up to
$2,000,000 of the facility may be used for letters of credit. Effective January
9, 2001, Bank of America issued a letter of credit in the amount of $1,775,000
on behalf of the Company for the benefit of the preferred stockholders. There is
a 2.25% fee per annum on the outstanding letter of credit. At June 30, 2001, the
letter of credit for $1,775,000 was the only amount utilized under this
facility.
On February 26, 1997, the Company issued $40,000,000 in privately placed debt
which consisted of $12,500,000 Series A Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes with a
8.06% interest rate, which were due January 31, 2000, and $27,500,000 Series B
Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes with a 8.30% interest rate, due January 31,
2002. In January 1998, the note
13
14
holders agreed to release the collateral for these notes. In January 2000, the
Company paid the $12,500,000 Series A Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes in full as
scheduled. Effective January 9, 2001, the Company secured the Series B Senior
Notes with properties having an aggregate net book value of approximately
$38,575,000. Under the terms of the Waiver and Second Amendment to the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to secure the noteholders on the
same basis and with similar collateral as that provided to Bank of America.
Additionally, because all of the required documentation and title policies could
not be delivered on or before January 9, 2001, the Company entered into a Cash
Collateral Agreement providing for the escrow of $3,000,000 in cash with State
Street Bank to be delivered to the noteholders as a prepayment of principal and
related make-whole payments in the event the Company did not deliver the
required documentation by the agreed upon extended due date of March 24, 2001.
The Company delivered all of the required documentation and title policies by
the extended due date and the $3,000,000 escrow deposit was returned to the
Company.
On May 12, 1998, the Company issued $111,000,000 of seven year fixed rate senior
unsecured notes payable in a private placement. The notes bear interest at the
rate of 7.15% per annum and are due May 1, 2005. The net proceeds of the notes
were used to repay a portion of the Company's previous revolving credit
agreement and for general corporate purposes. In conjunction with the notes
payable agreement, the underwriters and the Company entered into a rate lock
agreement for the purpose of setting the interest rate on these notes payable.
The fee paid to lock in the rate on these notes payable was approximately
$424,000 and is being amortized over the term of the notes as an adjustment to
interest expense. As a result of the Bank of America Credit Agreement and
certain guarantees required by it, the subsidiaries of the Company executed a
Subsidiary Guaranty for the benefit of these noteholders.
On November 13, 1998, the Company issued $47,500,000 in senior notes payable in
a private placement. The notes bear interest at the rate of 8.22% per annum and
are due August 1, 2003. The net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the
Company's previous revolving credit agreement and for general corporate
purposes. In conjunction with the notes payable agreement, the underwriters and
the Company entered into a rate lock agreement for the purpose of setting the
interest rate of these notes payable. The fee paid to lock in the rate on these
notes payable was approximately $406,000 and is being amortized over the term of
the notes as an adjustment to interest expense. As a result of the Bank of
America Credit Agreement and certain guarantees required by it, the subsidiaries
of the Company executed a Subsidiary Guaranty for the benefit of these
noteholders.
In April 1999, the OP entered into a credit agreement with Credit Lyonnais for
an unsecured term loan of $50,000,000. This credit facility was scheduled to
mature in April 2002. On January 9, 2001, the Company paid the outstanding
balance under this facility with proceeds from a bridge loan issued by Bank of
America. In connection with this pay-off, the Company wrote-off $340,000 worth
of unamortized loan origination fees associated with this facility in January
2001.
Effective July 3, 2000, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with
Credit Lyonnais for a notional amount of $50,000,000 on which the Company pays a
fixed rate of 7.05% and receives a variable rate based upon LIBOR. The interest
rate swap agreement terminates in May 2003 but may be terminated earlier subject
to certain restrictions. The agreement calls for the net interest expense or
income to be paid or received quarterly. This swap was secured by six properties
with an aggregate net book value of $3,198,000 on February 23, 2001. The
adoption of SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001 resulted in the recognition of a
liability of $1,474,000 with a cumulative effect adjustment to other
comprehensive income of $1,474,000. The interest rate swap was entered into to
hedge the variable rate interest payments related to the Company's term loan
with Credit Lyonnais. As previously discussed, during January 2001, the Company
repaid the Credit Lyonnais term loan in full with proceeds from a six month
bridge loan. The bridge loan bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 225 basis
points. The unrealized loss on the interest rate swap included in other
comprehensive income upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 has been reclassified to
earnings over the period of the bridge loan. Such reclassification adjustment
totaled $1,474,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2001. As the Company did
not redesignate this interest rate swap as a hedge subsequent to the repayment
of the Credit Lyonnais term loan, all changes in the fair value of the interest
rate swap agreement subsequent to the Credit Lyonnais repayment will be
recognized in earnings immediately. As of June 30, 2001, the fair value of the
interest rate swap was a liability of $2,359,000 and is recorded as such in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Also during the six months
ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded a charge to operations in the amount
of $885,000 relating to the change in fair market value of the interest rate
swap.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with its debt and
credit facilities as of June 30, 2001.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with Mr. Robert Stetson's resignation as Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Company, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement
and Consulting Agreement with Mr. Stetson as of October 6, 1999. Pursuant to the
terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Stetson one
or more loans, up to the aggregate of $800,000, for the sole purpose of
acquiring shares of the Company's common stock from time to time in the open
market. In March 2000, the Company advanced $400,000 to Mr. Stetson for the
purchase of the common stock of the Company. The promissory note provides for an
interest rate of 7.0% per annum and quarterly payments of interest only through
December 2005, with a final payment of principal and interest due in March,
2006. Pursuant to the note agreement, Mr. Stetson has pledged the common stock
purchased with the note proceeds as collateral for the loans.
Effective September 22, 2000, the Company and Mr. Stetson entered into an
Amendment to the Settlement Agreement that provided for two changes to the
original Settlement Agreement that were completed in October 2000. First, Mr.
Stetson executed a second promissory note in the amount of $300,000 in exchange
for which he received 35,037 restricted shares of USRP common stock (calculated
based on a value of $8.5625 per share). Second, the Company advanced Mr. Stetson
$75,000 under a third promissory note to be used for the sole purpose of
acquiring shares of the Company's common stock in the open market. Both notes
bear interest at 7.0% per annum and provide for quarterly payments of interest
only through July 2006, with a final payment of principal and interest due in
October 2006, and are secured by the restricted common stock and stock purchased
with the note proceeds.
On December 20, 2000, USRP/HCI Partnership 1, L.P., a subsidiary of the Company,
("HJV") made an advance to the preferred interest holder in the amount of
$700,000. Under the terms of the Advance Agreement dated December 1, 2000, the
$700,000 advance bears interest at an annual interest rate of 9.0%. This advance
was paid in full as scheduled in April 2001.
In conjunction with the merger between the Company and QSV, the Company assumed
a note receivable from Mr. Stetson in the amount of $959,000 due on January 22,
2001 with an interest rate of 10.00%, as well as a note payable to Mr. Darrel L.
Rolph, who was then a Director of the Company, for $959,000 due on January 22,
2001 with an interest rate of 10.00%. Both the note receivable and note payable
were paid in full on their scheduled due dates.
In connection with their resignations, Messrs. Margolin, Rolph and Rolph entered
into Noncompetition and Release Agreements with the Company pursuant to which
each of them agreed not to (a) submit or cause the submission of any proposals
or nominations of candidates for election as directors of the Company or (b)
solicit proxies from any of the Company's stockholders, in each case prior to
December 31, 2003. Additionally, Mr. Margolin agreed not to directly or
indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, invest in or provide consulting
services to any entity or business organization that engages in or owns, invests
in, manages or controls any venture engaged in the ownership, management,
acquisition or development of restaurant, gasoline and convenience store
properties similar to those of the Company and its affiliates for a one-year
period ending March 9, 2002. As consideration under such agreement and in
connection with the termination of Mr. Margolin's Employment Agreement with the
Company, the Company paid Mr. Margolin $800,000 in severance compensation which
was expensed during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Similarly, each of the
Rolphs agreed not to directly or indirectly compete with the Company, other than
through the restaurant operations of the Rolphs in existence as of the initial
closing of the Lone Star Transaction (as defined below).
7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND MINORITY INTERESTS
On January 17, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with two affiliates
of Lone Star Fund III (U.S.), L.P. ("Lone Star") providing for the sale of
1,877,935 shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.65 per share, for aggregate
consideration of $20,000,000 (the "Lone Star Transaction"). The Lone Star
Transaction will involve two or more closings: an initial closing, that occurred
on March 9, 2001, at which Lone Star paid $5,000,000 in exchange for 469,484
shares; and one or more subsequent closings, to occur on or before September 5,
2001, at which up to an additional 1,408,451 shares will be purchased. After
completion of the entire Lone Star Transaction and including Lone Star's
purchase of 1,856,330 shares from Fred H. Margolin, Darrel L. Rolph, David K.
Rolph and their affiliates, Lone Star will be a beneficial owner of
approximately 19.33% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

16
The Company and each of Messrs. Margolin, Rolph and Rolph entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 9, 2001, permitting the holders
thereto to request a shelf registration on Form S-3 to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by the Company. Additionally, as a
component of the Lone Star Transaction, the Company and Lone Star entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 9, 2001, granting Lone Star the
ability to request a shelf registration on Form S-3.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCKHOLDERS
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company declared dividends of
$11,701,000 to its common stockholders and $3,551,000 to its preferred
stockholders (or $0.4825 per quarter per share of preferred stock).
MINORITY INTERESTS
As reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2000, each OP unit represents a minority interest in the OP of the
Company. Each OP unit participates in any income (loss) of the OP based on the
percent ownership in the OP and receives a cash dividend in an amount equivalent
to a share of common stock. Each OP unit may be exchanged at any time by the
holder thereof for one share of common stock of the Company. With each exchange
of outstanding OP units for common stock, the Company's percentage ownership
interest in the OP, directly or indirectly, will increase. As of June 30, 2001
there were 134,344 OP units outstanding.
During 1999, the Company issued $55,000,000 of 8.5% preferred limited
partnership interests in HJV to a third party for net proceeds of $52,793,000.
Under the terms of this transaction, the preferred interest holder receives
annual distributions equal to $4,675,000 payable monthly from the cash flows of
HJV. Income is allocated to the preferred interest holder equal to the amount of
their distribution. The Company may be required from time to time to exchange
properties that do not meet specified criteria as defined in the HJV partnership
agreement.
The 134,344 OP units outstanding at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the
preferred partnership interests represent the only minority interests in
subsidiaries of the Company.
Minority interest in the OP and the preferred limited partnership consist of the
following at June 30, 2001 (in thousands):
Balance at January 1, 2001 $ 54,733
Distributions paid and accrued in the period (2,426)
Income allocated to minority interest 2,174
------------
Balance at June 30, 2001 $ 54,481

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (SFAS No. 131), establishes standards for reporting information
about a company's operating segments. Effective April 2001, with the formation
of Fuel Supply Inc. and the commencement of retail operations, the Company now
has two operating segments, real estate and retail. Operating segments are
defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information
is available that is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Real Estate. Real estate activities are comprised of property management,
acquisition and development operations and related business objectives. The
Company derives its revenues primarily from rental income received on its 828
restaurant and service station properties located throughout 48 states.
Retail. Commencing in April 2001, the Company formed Fuel Supply Inc., which
began retail sales to ten service stations located in Hawaii. Revenues from
this segment are generated from the gasoline sales at these ten service
stations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the leasing of its properties
(primarily restaurants) to operators on a "triple net" basis. Triple net leases
typically require the tenants to be responsible for property operating costs,
including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and in most cases, the ground
lease rents where applicable. Approximately 50% of the Company's leases provide
for a base rent plus a percentage of the sales in excess of a threshold amount.
As a result, portions of the Company's revenues are a function of the number of
properties in operation and their level of sales. Sales at individual properties
are influenced by local market conditions, the efforts of specific operators,
marketing, new product programs, support of the franchisor and the general state
of the economy.
The following discussion considers the specific impact of such factors on the
results of operations of the Company for the following periods.
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2001 to the three months ended
June 30, 2000
Total revenues, including interest income, income earned on direct financing
leases, and income from retail operations, in the three months ended June 30,
2001 totaled $21,114,000, down 3.2% from the $21,817,000 recorded for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. The 13.4% decrease in rental revenues from
$20,458,000 in 2000 to $17,711,000 in 2001 is primarily due to decreases in the
number of properties owned during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, approximately 8% of the Company's
rental revenues resulted from percentage rents (rents determined as a percentage
of tenant sales), compared with 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The
increase of 10.8% in interest income from $1,205,000 in 2000 to $1,335,000 in
2001 is primarily due to short-term investment of excess cash, partially offset
by reduced amounts of notes and mortgages receivable.
Retail operations commenced in April 2001. Retail income, which is comprised of
revenue from operating activities, was $1,986,000 in the three months ended June
30, 2001. Cost of sales associated with this revenue totaled $1,795,000 in the
three months ended June 30, 2001.
Rent expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $182,000, a
decrease of 59.3% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Depreciation and amortization expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2001
totaled $5,832,000, a decrease of 12.6% when compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2000. These decreases relate directly to the decrease in the number of
properties owned during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2001
totaled $2,225,000, a decrease of 24.4% when compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to decreased legal costs
associated with tenant litigation matters and reduced infrastructure costs as a
result of the decrease in the number of properties managed. During the three
months ended June 30, 2001 the Company made a provision of $350,000 for
severance related to the departure of the Company's former Chief Financial
Officer and $230,000 for costs associated with hiring the Company's new Chief
Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer.
Provisions for doubtful accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2001
totaled $(198,000) compared to $5,420,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's increased
collection efforts resulted in the collection of several accounts that had
previously been fully reserved. These recoveries were partially offset by
additional provisions resulting from the Company's continuing analysis of its
receivables for recoverability. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company fully provided for all outstanding notes and accounts receivable in the
amount of $3,138,000 due from its tenant operating service stations in Hawaii
and California. Additional provisions during the three months ended June 30,
2000 resulted from the Company's continuing analysis of its receivables to
determine if circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the receivable
may not be recovered.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $6,568,000, a
decrease of 12.6% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000. This
decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates and lower debt levels.
Amortization of loan origination fees increased to $2,099,000 in 2001 as
compared to $336,000 in 2000. This increase is due to the fees associated with
the Bank of America bridge facility which were expensed over the first six
17
18
months of 2001. Derivative costs related to the interest rate swap agreement
with Credit Lyonnais increased to $407,000.
As of December 29, 2000, all of the 825,000 contingent shares of common stock
relating to the termination of the management contract with QSV had been earned
and issued. As the liability had been settled in full, no amounts were recorded
in the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the three months ended June 30,
2000, a non-cash accounting credit of $3,391,000 was recorded. This credit
represented the decline in market value of a share of common stock at June 30,
2000 compared to March 31, 2000 on the maximum total of 825,000 contingent OP
units issuable to QSV pursuant to the termination agreement.
During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded asset
impairment charges of $120,000 compared to a charge of $3,372,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 2000. During 2001, as part of the Company's regular
analysis, the Company determined that two properties had carrying amounts in
excess of their net realizable value. During 2000, the Company determined that
41 service stations in Georgia had a net book value in excess of estimated
realizable value and recorded an asset impairment charge of $1,846,000.
Additional impairment charges of $1,526,000 during the three months ended June
30, 2000 resulted from the Company's regular analysis of its investments to
determine if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. During this regular analysis, the Company determined that 11
other properties had carrying amounts in excess of their net realizable value.
Fair value adjustment for the interest rate swap agreement that was entered into
in 2000 to hedge the variable rate interest payments related to the Company's
previous term loan with Credit Lyonnais, totaled $669,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001 resulted
in the recognition of a liability of $1,474,000, with a cumulative effect
adjustment to other comprehensive income of $1,474,000. During January 2001, the
Company repaid the Credit Lyonnais term loan in full with proceeds from the Bank
of America bridge facility. The bridge loan bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR
plus 225 basis points. The unrealized loss on the interest rate swap included in
other comprehensive income upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 was reclassified to
earnings over the period of the bridge loan. As the Company did not redesignate
this interest rate swap as a hedge subsequent to the repayment of the Credit
Lyonnais term loan, all changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap
agreement subsequent to the Credit Lyonnais repayment were recognized in
earnings immediately.
The gain on sale of properties of $1,542,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2001 relates to the sale of fifteen properties for cash of $12,739,000. The gain
on sale of properties of $1,011,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
relates to the sale of 16 properties for cash of $8,364,000 and notes of
$506,000, and the non-renewal of ground leases.
Minority interest in net income was $1,170,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 compared to $911,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2001 to the six months ended June
30, 2000
Total revenues, including interest income, income earned on direct financing
leases, and income from retail operations, in the six months ended June 30, 2001
totaled $39,887,000, down 3.9% from the $41,489,000 recorded for the six months
ended June 30, 2000. The 9.1% decrease in rental revenues from $38,529,000 in
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $35,043,000 in 2001 is primarily due to
decreases in the number of properties owned during 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, approximately 7.0% of
the Company's rental revenues resulted from percentage rents (rents determined
as a percentage of tenant sales), compared with 8.0% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. The increase of 2.2% in interest income from $2,623,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $2,681,000 in 2001 is primarily due to
short-term investment of excess cash, partially offset by reduced amounts of
notes and mortgages receivable.
Retail operations commenced in April 2001. Retail income, which is comprised of
revenue from operating activities, was $1,986,000 in the six months ended June
30, 2001. Cost of sales associated with this revenue totaled $1,795,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 2001.

Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $336,000, a decrease
of 52.6% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. Depreciation and
amortization expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $11,862,000,
a decrease of 8.8% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. These
decreases relate directly to the decrease in the number of properties owned
during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001
totaled $5,584,000, an increase of 3.5% when compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company incurred
costs of $813,000 for severance related to the Company's former Chief Executive
Officer, a provision of $350,000 for severance related to the Company's former
Chief Financial Officer and $230,000 for costs associated with hiring the
Company's new Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer. These costs are
partially offset by decreased legal costs associated with tenant litigation
matters and reduced infrastructure costs as a result of the decrease in the
number of properties managed.
Provisions for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled
$950,000 compared to $6,170,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2001 resulted from the Company's
regular analysis of its receivables to determine if circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of the receivable may not be recovered. During the six months
ended June 30, 2000, the Company fully provided for all outstanding notes and
accounts receivable due from BC Oil Ventures LLC in the amount of $3,138,000.
Additional provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2000 resulted from
the Company's regular analysis of its receivables to determine if circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the receivable may not be recovered.
There was no loss on lease resolution for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to $1,367,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These losses in
2000 resulted in costs of $867,000 associated with terminating the lease with an
operator of 37 fast food properties. Costs of $500,000 were incurred in the
resolution of a lease with an operator of service stations in Georgia.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $13,541,000, a
decrease of 9.1% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. This
decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates and lower debt levels.
Amortization of loan origination fees increased to $4,102,000 in 2001 as
compared to $648,000 in 2000. This increase is due to the fees associated with
the Bank of America bridge facility which were expensed over the first six
months of 2001. Derivative costs related to the interest rate swap agreement
with Credit Lyonnais, increased to $535,000.
As of December 29, 2000, all of the 825,000 contingent shares of common stock
relating to the termination of the management contract with QSV had been earned
and issued. As the liability had been settled in full, no amounts were recorded
in the six months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, a
non-cash accounting credit of $4,422,000 was recorded. This credit represents
the decline in market value of a share of common stock at June 30, 2000 compared
to December 31, 1999 on the maximum total of 825,000 contingent OP units
issuable to QSV pursuant to the termination agreement.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded an asset
impairment charge of $16,049,000, as compared to $3,372,000 recorded during the
six months ended June 30, 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, BC
Oil Ventures LLC, the tenant leasing the service stations and fuel terminal in
Hawaii, defaulted on its monthly rent payments. After careful assessment of
various factors relevant to these properties, management determined it was
appropriate to sell these properties. Accordingly, the Company has classified
these properties as Assets Held for Sale, and an impairment charge of $7,743,000
was recorded to write these assets down to their estimated proceeds from the
anticipated disposal of these properties net of estimated costs to sell. Also
during this period, management analyzed service stations in Missouri, Illinois
and Texas which were late paying rent and defaulting on certain lease terms for
possible impairment. It was determined that 16 of these properties had carrying
values in excess of fair value. The Company recorded an impairment charge of
$7,567,000 to revalue these assets to estimated fair value. The estimated fair
value of these assets was determined by discounting the estimated cash flows of
each asset. As a result of the Company's regular analysis of its investments to
determine if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable, additional impairment charges of $739,000 were recorded from the
revaluing of ten other assets to their estimated fair value.
Fair value adjustment for the interest rate swap agreement for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 totaled $2,359,000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133, as of
January 1, 2001 resulted in the recognition of a liability of
19
20
$1,474,000, with a cumulative effect adjustment to other comprehensive income of
$1,474,000. The interest rate swap agreement was entered into in 2000 to hedge
the variable rate interest payments related to the Company's previous term loan
with Credit Lyonnais. During January 2001, the Company repaid the Credit
Lyonnais term loan in full with proceeds from a six month bridge loan. The
bridge loan bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The
unrealized loss on the interest rate swap included in other comprehensive income
upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 was reclassified to earnings over the period of
the bridge loan. As the Company did not redesignate this interest rate swap as a
hedge subsequent to the repayment of the Credit Lyonnais term loan, all changes
in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement subsequent to the Credit
Lyonnais repayment were recognized in earnings immediately. Of the $2,359,000
recorded, $1,474,000 represents reclassification of the January 1, 2001
adjustment from other comprehensive income and $885,000 represents the change in
the fair value of the interest rate swap.
The gain on sale of properties of $1,608,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 relates to the sale of 22 properties for cash of $14,493,000, net of
closing costs, and notes of $878,000. The gain on sale of properties of $671,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 relates to the sale of 19 properties for
cash of $9,443,000 and notes of $1,657,000, and the non-renewal of ground
leases.
Minority interest in net income was $2,174,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 compared to $2,010,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt was $340,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2001. On January 9, 2001, the Company paid the outstanding balance under the
Credit Lyonnais facility with proceeds from a bridge loan issued by Bank of
America. In connection with this pay-off, the Company wrote-off $340,000 in
unamortized loan origination fees associated with this facility.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal source of cash to meet its short-term cash requirements
is rental revenues generated by the Company's properties. Cash generated by the
portfolio in excess of operating and dividend payment needs is used to reduce
amounts outstanding under the Company's credit agreements. As of June 30, 2001,
the Company has no letters of intent for acquisitions. The terms of the
Company's leases ("triple net leases") generally require that the tenant is
responsible for maintenance and improvements to the property. The Company is
generally not required to expend funds for remodels and renovations. However,
the Company expects to spend approximately $680,000 during the remainder of this
year to renovate and remodel currently owned properties. As of June 30, 2001,
the Company had seven properties in various stages of development and had
commitments of approximately $1,761,000 representing construction contract costs
not yet incurred.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company declared dividends of
$11,701,000 to its common stockholders and $3,551,000 to its preferred
stockholders (or $0.4825 per quarter per share of preferred stock).
During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company was informed that two
of its tenants had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy
Laws. Gant Acquisition LLC ("Gant"), which leases 27 service stations in North
Carolina, filed on May 21, 2001. Annual rent from these properties is
approximately $1,504,000. Vista DFW Locs, LLC (formerly VISTA Stores LLC)
("Vista"), which leases 53 FINA branded convenience stores/service stations in
Texas, filed on June 29, 2001. Annual rent from these properties is
approximately $2,236,000. Neither Gant nor Vista are delinquent on their rents
and the Company does not anticipate any adverse impairment of values associated
with these properties.
In January 2001, the Company entered into an Indenture agreement with Bank of
America for a secured bridge facility of $175,000,000. Proceeds from this bridge
facility were used to pay-off the outstanding balance of the $175,000,000
revolving credit line and the $50,000,000 unsecured term loan from Credit
Lyonnais. The Indenture bears interest at the 30 - day LIBOR plus 225 basis
points. The initial term of the bridge loan matured in July 2001, and the
Company has entered into options to extend the facility through August 31, 2001.
If required, the Company has the option to extend the facility through January
8, 2002. At June 30, 2001 there was $161,997,000 outstanding on the bridge
facility.
The Company expects to complete and fund a private placement securitization for
$180,000,000 on August 14 or 15, 2001. The Company will secure this facility
with 273 properties having a net book value of $209,469,000. Proceeds from this
placement will be used to pay-off the existing bridge facility and for general
corporate purposes. The securitization will bear interest at the 30 - day LIBOR
plus 100.6 basis points and will be due August 28, 2006. In conjunction with the
securitization, the Company will enter into two derivative instruments; an
interest rate swap at a fixed rate of 3.825% for one year on a notional amount
of $50,000,000 and an interest rate collar with a floor of 4.42% and a ceiling
at 6.00% for four years on a notional amount of $80,000,000. These derivatives
will effectively lock in $50,000,000 at 4.8310% (3.825% plus 1.006%) for one
year and lock in $80,000,000 at between 5.4260% (4.42% plus 1.006%) and 7.006%
(6.0% plus 1.006%) for four years.
20
21
Simultaneously with the close of the Bank of America Indenture, the Company
entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America for an unsecured revolving
credit facility in the amount of $7,000,000. The Credit Agreement has a term of
up to two years and bears interest in traunches of 30, 60, 90 or 180 - day LIBOR
contracts plus 225 basis points. The Credit Agreement also provides that up to
$2,000,000 of the facility may be used for letters of credit. Effective January
9, 2001, Bank of America issued a letter of credit in the amount of $1,775,000
on behalf of the Company for the benefit of the preferred stockholders. There is
a 2.25% fee per annum on the outstanding letter of credit. At June 30, 2001, the
letter of credit for $1,775,000 was the only amount utilized under this
facility.
The Company is in compliance with all covenants associated with its debt and
credit facilities as of June 30, 2001.
On January 17, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with two affiliates
of Lone Star providing for the sale of 1,877,935 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $10.65 per share, for aggregate consideration of $20,000,000. The Lone
Star transaction will involve two or more closings: an initial closing, that
occurred on March 9, 2001, at which Lone Star paid $5,000,000 in exchange for
469,484 shares; and one or more subsequent closings, to occur on or before
September 5, 2001, at which up to an additional 1,408,451 shares will be
purchased.
Management believes that cash flow from operations, along with the Company's
ability to raise additional equity through joint ventures and anticipated sales
of properties, additional proceeds from the sale of the remaining shares of
common stock to Lone Star, funds available under the revolving credit facility
and the Company's anticipated ability to refinance debt as it matures will
provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to meet its foreseeable capital
needs. However, there can be no assurance that the terms at which existing debt
is refinanced will be as favorable to the Company as under the existing
facilities.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO)
The Company believes that it computes FFO in accordance with the standards
established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") in their National Policy Bulletin dated November 8, 1999, which may
differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs,
and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. The Company's FFO
is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders (computed in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America), plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and minus
gains (or losses) from sales of property, impairment of long-lived assets,
extraordinary items and income/loss allocable to minority interest holders. The
Company believes FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of
an equity REIT because, along with the Company's statements of financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows, it provides investors with an
understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and make
capital expenditures. In evaluating FFO and the trends it depicts, investors
should consider the major factors affecting FFO. Growth in FFO will result from
increases in revenue or decreases in related operating expenses. Conversely, FFO
will decline if revenues decline or related operating expenses increase. FFO
does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because
of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligation, or other
commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to
net income (determined in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America), as an indication of the Company's
financial performance, to cash flows from operating activities (determined in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of
America) or as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of
funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make
distributions.
The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000, the calculation of funds from operations.

============ ============ ============ ============
INFLATION
Some of the Company's leases are subject to adjustments for increases in the
Consumer Price Index, which reduces the risk to the Company of the adverse
effects of inflation. Additionally, to the extent inflation increases sales
volume, percentage rents may tend to offset the effects of inflation on the
Company. Because triple net leases also require the property operator to pay for
some or all operating expenses, property taxes, property repair and maintenance
costs and insurance, some or all of the inflationary impact of these expenses
will be borne by the property operator and not by the Company.
SEASONALITY
Fast food restaurant operations historically have been seasonal in nature,
reflecting higher unit sales during the second and third quarters due to warmer
weather and increase leisure travel. This seasonality can be expected to cause
fluctuations in the Company's quarterly revenue to the extent it earns
percentage rent.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" is effective July 1, 2001 and prohibits
pooling-of-interests accounting for acquisitions. SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" is effective January 1, 2002 and specifies that
goodwill and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will
be subject to periodic impairment testing. The Company has not yet determined
the effect adopting SFAS No. 142 will have on its financial statements.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-Q
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q, including without limitation
statements regarding the objectives of management for future operations and
statements containing the words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate,"
"continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect" and similar expressions, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and assumptions which may cause the Company's actual results,
performance or achievements to differ materially from those anticipated or
implied by the forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation
to update any such statements or publicly announce any updates or revisions to
any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in
the Company's expectation with regard thereto or any change in events,
conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements. Reference
is hereby made to the disclosures contained in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the
disclosures under the heading "Risk Factors" in "Item 1. Business" of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 2, 2001.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in
interest rates and other relevant market prices, except as noted below. The
Company does not have any foreign operations and thus is not exposed to foreign
currency fluctuations.
An increase or decrease in interest rates would affect interest costs relating
to the Company's variable rate credit facility. At June 30, 2001 there was
$161,997,000 of variable rate debt outstanding on this facility. The facility
bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR plus 225 basis points. Based on the
$161,997,000 of variable rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2001, a 10% increase
or decrease would result in an increase or decrease in interest charges relating
to these facilities of approximately $993,000 for a full year.
The Company has entered into an interest rate swap effective July 3, 2000 with a
notional amount of $50,000,000. The Company will pay a fixed rate of 7.05% and
receive a variable rate based upon LIBOR under this swap agreement. At June 30,
2001 the estimated liability of this interest rate swap was $2,359,000.
