Note 1. Business and Organization
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the Company) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses primarily on ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington, DC to Boston corridor. At June 30, 2015, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 59 operating properties (excluding properties held for sale).
Cedar Realty Trust Partnership, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At June 30, 2015, the Company owned a 99.5% economic interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners interest in the Operating Partnership (0.5% at June 30, 2015) is represented by Operating Partnership Units (OP Units). The carrying amount of such interest is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners ownership percentage of the Operating Partnerships net equity. The approximately 392,000 OP Units outstanding at June 30, 2015 are economically equivalent to the Companys common stock. The holders of OP Units have the right to exchange their OP Units for the same number of shares of the Companys common stock or, at the Companys option, for cash.
As used herein, the Company refers to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. only.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The prior period financial statements reflect certain reclassifications which had no impact on previously-reported net income attributable to common shareholders or earnings per share. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which amends the accounting for revenue recognition. Under the amended guidance, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition guidance. If approved, the guidance would be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption being permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance which amends the current consolidation requirements, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under the analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities will be considered a variable interest entity unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption being permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance which amends the balance sheet presentation for debt issuance costs. Under the amended guidance, a company will present unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption being permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Real Estate
Acquisitions
On January 23, 2015, the Company acquired the New London joint ventures 60% ownership interest, giving the Company a 100% ownership interest in this property, which is located in New London, Connecticut. The purchase price was $27.3 million, consisting of $10.9 million in cash, and $16.4 million representing the 60% share of the in-place mortgage financing. As the property was previously controlled and consolidated by the Company, the acquisition of the 60% noncontrolling ownership interest was recorded as a capital transaction.
On February 27, 2015, the Company acquired Lawndale Plaza, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $25.2 million. The Company incurred costs of $0.5 million in connection with this acquisition. In addition, the purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to real estate assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, in accordance with accounting policies for business combinations, with such valuations to be finalized when valuation studies are completed.
Properties Held For Sale Subsequent to December 31, 2013
On May 28, 2015, the Company sold Kenley Village, located in Hagerstown, Maryland, for $2.3 million. On July 23, 2015, the Company sold Circle Plaza, located in Shamokin Dam,
11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
(unaudited)
Pennsylvania, for $1.8 million. In addition, during 2014, the Company determined to sell Liberty Marketplace, located in Dubois, Pennsylvania. The sales and potential sales of these properties did not meet the criteria set forth in the guidance for reporting discontinued operations which was adopted in 2014. As such, these properties have been classified as real estate held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and their results of operations have remained in continuing operations.
The Company conducts a continuing review of the values for all remaining properties held for sale based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices based on discounted cash flow analyses, if no contract amounts were as yet being negotiated (see Note 5 Fair Value Measurements), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less cost to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Companys determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to held for sale, the Company performs recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that were expected to result from the real estate investments use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. However, as a result of the properties meeting the held for sale criteria, such properties were written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell.
Note 4. Discontinued Operations
On February 2, 2015, the Company sold Huntingdon Plaza, located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, for $2.2 million. Upon the sale of Huntingdon Plaza, the Company has no other properties for which the results are classified under the prior accounting guidance for discontinued operations. The following is a summary of the components of income from discontinued operations:

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and variable-rate debt approximate fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature. The fair value of the Companys investments and liabilities related to share-based compensation were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.
The valuation of the liabilities for the Companys interest rate swaps, which are measured on a recurring basis, were determined to be Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions. Such valuations were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analyses reflect the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and user-observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (significant other observable inputs). The fair value calculation also includes an amount
13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for risk of non-performance using significant unobservable inputs such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, the fair value associated with the significant unobservable inputs relating to the Companys risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon significant other observable inputs.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate held for sale, which are measured on a nonrecurring basis, have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by discounted cash flow analyses, direct capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and direct capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period and, where applicable, any estimated debt premiums. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach was utilized for certain land values and include comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.
Valuations were prepared using internally-developed valuation models. These valuations are reviewed and approved, during each reporting period, by a diverse group of management, as deemed necessary, including personnel from the acquisition, accounting, finance, operations, development and leasing departments, and the valuations are updated as appropriate. In addition, the Company may engage third party valuation experts to assist with the preparation of certain of its valuations.
The following tables show the hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

The fair value of the Companys fixed rate mortgage loans were estimated using available market information and discounted cash flows analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, the aggregate fair values of the Companys unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans approximated the carrying values. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate fair values of the Companys fixed rate mortgage loans payable, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, were approximately $368.4 million and $410.8 million, respectively; the carrying values of such loans were $354.5 million and $393.4 million, respectively.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
The Company has a $310 million unsecured credit facility which, as amended on February 5, 2015, consists of (1) a $260 million revolving credit facility, expiring on February 5, 2019, and (2) a $50 million term loan, expiring on February 5, 2020. The revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Companys option, for an additional one-year period, subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be increased to $750 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 basis points (bps) to 195 bps (135 bps at June 30, 2015) and borrowing under the term loan component can range from LIBOR plus 130 to 190 bps (130 bps at June 30, 2015), each based on the Companys leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $215.6 million available for additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
The Company has $150 million of unsecured term loans comprised of a five-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2019, and a seven-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2021. Borrowings under the five-year $75 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 130 bps to 190 bps (130 bps at June 30, 2015) and borrowings under the seven-year $75 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 170 bps to 230 bps (170 bps at June 30, 2015), each based on the Companys leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company has entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for these term loans through their maturities. As of June 30, 2015, the effective fixed interest rates are 2.9% for the five-year $75 million term loan and 4.0% for the seven-year $75 million term loan, respectively.
On February 5, 2015, the Company closed $100 million of new unsecured term loans comprised of a five-year $50 million term loan maturing February 5, 2020 (all of which was
17
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
(unaudited)
borrowed at closing), and a seven-year $50 million term loan maturing February 5, 2022 (all of which was borrowed on June 26, 2015). Borrowings under the five-year $50 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 130 to 190 bps (130 bps at June 30, 2015) and borrowings under the seven-year $50 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 155 bps to 215 bps (155 bps at June 30, 2015), each based on the Companys leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for these term loans beginning on July 1, 2015 through their maturities. Based on the Companys leverage ratio as of June 30, 2015, the effective fixed interest rates are 2.8% for the five-year $50 million term loan and 3.3% for the seven-year $50 million term loan which began on July 1, 2015.
The Companys unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income, as defined in the agreement. The Companys failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facility could result in the acceleration of the related debt. As of June 30, 2015 the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.
Derivative Financial Instruments
At June 30, 2015, the Company had $2,631,000 on the consolidated balance sheet included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to the fair value of the interest rate swaps applicable to the unsecured term loans discussed above. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), noncontrolling interests (minority interests in consolidated joint ventures and limited partners interest), or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $3.8 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified as a charge to earnings within the next twelve months.
The following is a summary of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The Companys 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2012 Plan) establishes the procedures for the granting of, among other things, restricted stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were 176,000 time-based restricted shares issued, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.45 per share. At June 30, 2015, approximately 1.5 million shares remained available for grants pursuant to the 2012 Plan.
Note 11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Companys common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares issued pursuant to the Companys share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such shares have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends). Unvested restricted shares are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had 3.5 million and 3.7 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company

Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding were 393,000 and 465,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 393,000 and 472,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Executive Summary
The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust that focuses primarily on ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington DC to Boston corridor. At June 30, 2015, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 59 operating properties (excluding properties held for sale) totaling approximately 9.3 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). The portfolio was 93.2% leased and 92.2% occupied at June 30, 2015.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Companys operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of necessities-based properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.
2015 Significant Transactions
Acquisitions
On January 23, 2015, the Company acquired the New London joint ventures 60% ownership interest, giving the Company a 100% ownership interest in this property, which is located in New London, Connecticut. The purchase price was $27.3 million, consisting of $10.9 million in cash, and $16.4 million representing the 60% share of the in-place mortgage financing. As the property was previously controlled and consolidated by the Company, the acquisition of the 60% noncontrolling ownership interest was recorded as a capital transaction.
On February 27, 2015, the Company acquired Lawndale Plaza, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $25.2 million. The Company incurred costs of $0.5 million in connection with this acquisition.

Revenues were lower primarily as a result of (1) a decrease of $1.3 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at properties sold and initially classified in 2015 and 2014 as real estate held for sale, and (2) a decrease of $0.5 million in straight-line revenue and amortization of intangible lease liabilities revenue at the Companys same-center properties, partially offset by (1) an increase of $0.5 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at a property acquired in the first quarter of 2015, (2) an increase of $0.3 million in base rental revenue and percentage rental revenue at the Companys same-center properties, and (3) an increase of $0.2 million in rental revenues and expense recoveries at the Companys redevelopment properties.
Property operating expenses were lower primarily as a result of (1) a decrease of $0.2 million in property operating expenses at properties sold and initially classified in 2015 and 2014 as real estate held for sale, and (2) a decrease of $0.1 million in other operating expenses, primarily bad debt expense, repairs and maintenance, and non-billable expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in property operating expenses at a property acquired in the first quarter of 2015.
25
General and administrative costs were lower primarily as a result of a decrease in professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expenses remained consistent primarily as a result of a reduction of $0.3 million in depreciation and amortization expenses related to properties initially classified in 2015 and 2014 as real estate held for sale as the carrying values of these properties are now measured at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less cost to sell, offset by an increase of $0.2 million in depreciation and amortization expenses relating to a property acquired in the first quarter of 2015.
Gain on sale in 2014 relates to the sale of Fairview Plaza, located in new Cumberland, Pennsylvania.
Impairment charges in 2015 and 2014 relate to the impairments of properties initially classified in 2015 and 2014 as real estate held for sale.
Interest expense was lower primarily as a result of (1) $0.8 million as a result of a decrease in the overall outstanding principal balance of debt, and (2) $0.3 million as a result of a decrease in the amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a $0.1 million reduction in capitalized interest.
Early extinguishment of debt costs in 2014 relate to write-offs of unamortized fees associated with the prepayment of certain mortgage loans payable.
Discontinued operations for 2014 include the results of operations, impairment reversals, gain on extinguishment of debt obligations, and gain on sales for properties treated as discontinued operations prior to January 1, 2014.

Same-Property Net Operating Income
Same-property net operating income (same-property NOI) is a widely-used non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors as it provides an indication of the recurring cash generated by the Companys properties by excluding certain non-cash revenues and expenses, as well as other infrequent items such as lease termination income which tends to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Properties are included in same-property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties undergoing significant redevelopment and expansion until such properties have stabilized, and properties classified as held for sale. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from same-property NOI.
Same-property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Further, same-property NOI is a measure for which there is no standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or
28
reported on among the Companys peers, and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison between REITs. The following table reconciles same-property NOI to the Companys consolidated operating income:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, preferred and common dividend distributions and distributions to minority interest partners, if made, primarily from its operations. The Company may also use its revolving credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to fund long-term liquidity requirements for property acquisitions, redevelopment costs, capital improvements, and maturing debt initially with its revolving credit facility, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or assuming additional debt, the sale of equity securities, the issuance of additional OP Units, and/or the sale of properties. Although the Company believes it has access to secured and unsecured financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the availability of financing on completed development projects, additional construction financing, or proceeds from the refinancing of existing debt.
The Company has a $310 million unsecured credit facility which, as amended on February 5, 2015, consists of (1) a $260 million revolving credit facility, expiring on February 5, 2019, and (2) a $50 million term loan, expiring on February 5, 2020. The revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Companys option, for an additional one-year period, subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be increased to $750 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 bps to 195 bps (135 bps at June 30, 2015) and borrowing under the term loan component can range from LIBOR plus 130 to 190 bps (130 bps at June 30, 2015), each based on the Companys leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $215.6 million available for additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
On February 5, 2015, the Company closed $100 million of new unsecured term loans comprised of a five-year $50 million term loan maturing February 5, 2020 (all of which was borrowed at closing), and a seven-year $50 million term loan maturing February 5, 2022 (all of
30
which was borrowed on June 26, 2015). Borrowings under the five-year $50 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 130 to 190 bps (130 bps at June 30, 2015) and borrowings under the seven-year $50 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 155 bps to 215 bps (155 bps at June 30, 2015), each based on the Companys leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for these term loans beginning on July 1, 2015 through their maturities. Based on the Companys leverage ratio as of June 30, 2015, the effective fixed interest rates are 2.8% for the five-year $50 million term loan and 3.3% for the seven-year $50 million term loan which began on July 1, 2015.
The Company has $150 million of unsecured term loans comprised of a five-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2019, and a seven-year $75 million term loan, maturing on February 11, 2021. Borrowings under the five-year $75 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 130 bps to 190 bps (130 bps at June 30, 2015) and borrowings under the seven-year $75 million term loan can range from LIBOR plus 170 bps to 230 bps (170 bps at June 30, 2015), each based on the Companys leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company has entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for these term loans through their maturities. As of June 30, 2015, the effective fixed interest rates are 2.9% for the five-year $75 million term loan and 4.0% for the seven-year $75 million term loan, respectively.
The Companys unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income, as defined in the agreement. The Companys failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facility could result in the acceleration of the related debt. As of June 30, 2015, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.

Debt, reflecting the interest rate swap agreements on the five-year $50 million term loan and seven-year $50 million term loan, is comprised of the following at June 30, 2015:

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has approximately $2.9 million of scheduled debt principal amortization payments and $68.7 million of scheduled balloon payments remaining for 2015. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company repaid all remaining 2015 debt requirements from the availability under the unsecured credit facility.
Property-specific mortgage loans payable mature at various dates through 2029. The terms of several of the Companys mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such restricted cash is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established, and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
On January 12, 2015, the Company concluded a public offering of 5,750,000 shares of its common stock (including 750,000 shares relating to the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters), and realized net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $41.9 million.
The Company had at-the-market offering programs, which expired on May 29, 2015, under which it could offer and sell, from time-to-time, shares of its common and preferred stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no shares sold under these programs.
In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company paid common and preferred stock dividends during 2014, and has continued to declare common and preferred stock dividends during 2015. While the Company intends to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The approximately $2.9 million increase was primarily attributable to a reduction in interest expense of $2.7 million, and property operating income contributed by acquisitions, net of acquisition costs, which was partially offset by a reduction in property operating income associated with properties sold.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in and provided by investing activities were primarily the result of the Companys property acquisitions, expenditures for property improvements and property disposition activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company acquired a shopping center for $24.5 million, and incurred expenditures of $3.3 million for property improvements, which was offset by $4.3 million in proceeds received from sale of a property classified as held for sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $62.1 million in proceeds from the sales of properties classified as held for sale, and had an increase of $0.9 million in construction escrows and other, which was offset by the acquisition of a shopping center, which was partially paid in cash for $38.9 million, and expenditures of $5.4 million for property improvements.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company borrowed $100.0 million under its new term loans and received proceeds, net of issuance expense, of $41.7 million in sales of its common stock, which was offset by $72.0 million of net repayments under the revolving credit facility, $38.9 million of repayments of mortgage obligations, $15.7 million of preferred and common stock distributions, $11.2 million for the purchase of joint venture minority interests share, and $2.6 million of payments for debt financing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company made $138.6 million of repayments of mortgage obligations, $77.0 million of net repayments under the revolving credit facility, $15.1 million of preferred and
33
common stock distributions, $1.3 million of payments for debt financing costs, and $0.7 million of distributions to consolidated joint venture minority interests and limited partners, which was offset by borrowings of $150.0 million under its new term loans and proceeds of $41.2 million from the sale of its common stock.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations (FFO) is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the financial performance of a REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts generally defines FFO as net income attributable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties, impairment provisions on real estate properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of its financial performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than other depreciable assets.
The Company also considers Operating Funds From Operations (Operating FFO) to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance because it excludes items the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, such as acquisition costs, amounts relating to early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock redemption costs. The Company believes Operating FFO further assists in comparing the Companys financial performance to other REITs and the Companys performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items.
FFO and Operating FFO should be reviewed with GAAP net income when trying to understand the Companys operating performance. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. The Companys computation of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not by comparable to such REITs.

A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO and Operating FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

Inflation
Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the Companys results of operations. Should inflation rates increase in the future, substantially all of the Companys tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses it incurs. Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Companys business.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
One of the principal market risks facing the Company is the risk of interest rate changes, primarily through its variable-rate revolving credit facility and term loans. The Companys objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company may borrow at either fixed rates or at variable rates and enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to mitigate its interest rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. The Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.
35
The Company has entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for certain unsecured term loans. At June 30, 2015, the Company had $2,631,000 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet relating to the fair value of the interest rate swaps applicable to certain unsecured term loans. Based on the Companys leverage ratio at June 30, 2015, the following table details the unsecured term loans which are subject to interest rate swap agreements:
Amount |
Effective date |
Maturity date |
Effective fixed interest rate | |||
$ 75,000,000 | July 2014 | February 2019 | 2.9% | |||
$ 75,000,000 | July 2014 | February 2021 | 4.0% | |||
$ 50,000,000 | July 2015 | February 2020 | 2.8% | |||
$ 50,000,000 | July 2015 | February 2021 | 3.3% |
At June 30, 2015, long-term debt consisted of fixed-rate mortgage loans payable, unsecured term loans, and the Companys unsecured variable-rate credit facility. Reflecting the interest rate swap agreements on the five-year $50 million term loan and seven-year $50 million term loan, the average interest rate on the $604.5 million of fixed-rate debt outstanding was 4.5%, with maturities at various dates through 2029. The average interest rate on the $50.0 million of variable-rate debt outstanding, which consists of the unsecured revolving credit facility and a term loan, was 1.6%. With respect to the $50.0 million of variable-rate debt, if contractual interest rates either increase or decrease by 100 bps, the Companys interest cost would increase or decrease respectively by approximately $0.5 million per annum.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In this regard, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee currently comprised of several of the Companys executive officers as well as certain other employees with knowledge of information that may be considered in the SEC reporting process. The Committee has responsibility for the development and assessment of the financial and non-financial information to be included in the reports filed with the SEC, and assists the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their certifications contained in the Companys SEC filings. The Committee meets regularly and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more frequent basis. The Companys principal executive and financial officers have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015, and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, there have been no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting.
