SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, and words of similar import which express the Company’s beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future performance or future events or trends. While forward-looking statements reflect good faith beliefs, expectations or intentions, they are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of factors outside of the Company’s control. Certain factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: real estate investment considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in general and in the Company’s market areas in particular; the financial viability of the Company’s tenants; the continuing availability of suitable acquisitions, and development and redevelopment opportunities, on favorable terms; the availability of equity and debt capital in the public and private markets; changes in interest rates; the fact that returns from development, redevelopment and acquisition activities may not be at expected levels or at expected times; inherent risks in ongoing development and redevelopment projects including, but not limited to, cost overruns resulting from weather delays, changes in the nature and scope of development and redevelopment efforts, changes in governmental regulations related thereto, and market factors involved in the pricing of material and labor; the need to renew leases or re-let space upon the expiration of current leases; and the financial flexibility to repay or refinance debt obligations when due. The Company does not intend, and disclaims any duty or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements set forth in this report to reflect any change in expectations, change in information, new information, future events or other circumstances on which such information may have been based. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” elsewhere herein.

Part I.
Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties
General
     Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. (the “Company”), organized in 1984, is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate company, which focuses primarily on ownership, operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored community shopping centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers; the Company’s existing properties are located in nine states, largely in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a portfolio of 97 properties totaling approximately 10.1 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), including 93 wholly-owned properties comprising approximately 9.6 million square feet and four properties owned through joint ventures comprising approximately 485,000 square feet. At December 31, 2006, the portfolio of wholly-owned properties was comprised of (1) 86 “stabilized” properties (those properties at least 80% leased and not designated as “development/redevelopment” properties), with an aggregate of 8.6 million square feet of GLA, which were approximately 95.2% leased, (2) three development/redevelopment properties with an aggregate of 650,000 square feet of GLA, which were approximately 61.1% leased, and (3) four non-stabilized properties with an aggregate of 305,000 square feet of GLA, which are presently being re-tenanted and which were approximately 71.3% leased. The four properties owned in joint venture are all “stabilized” properties and are 100.0% leased. The entire 97 property portfolio was approximately 92.5% leased at December 31, 2006. In addition, the Company has a 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns a single-tenant office property in Philadelphia, PA.
     The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT under those provisions, the Company must have a significant percentage of its assets invested in, and income derived from, real estate and related sources. The Company’s objectives are to provide to its shareholders a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of commercial real estate investments (primarily supermarket-anchored shopping centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers), which will provide substantial cash flow, currently and in the future, taking into account an acceptable modest risk profile, and which will present opportunities for additional growth in income and capital appreciation.
     The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2006, the Company owned approximately 95.7% of the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) are economically equivalent to the Company’s common stock and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders on a one-to-one basis.
     The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Company’s operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on supermarket-anchored community shopping centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers. The Company believes, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, that the nature of its investments provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.

Table of Contents

     The Company continues to seek opportunities to acquire stabilized properties and properties suited for development and/or redevelopment activities where it can utilize its experience in shopping center construction, renovation, expansion, re-leasing and re-merchandising to achieve long-term cash flow growth and favorable investment returns. The Company would also consider investment opportunities in regions beyond its present markets in the event such opportunities were consistent with its focus, could be effectively controlled and managed, have the potential for favorable investment returns, and would contribute to increased shareholder value.
     The Company, the Operating Partnership, their subsidiaries and affiliated partnerships are separate legal entities. For ease of reference, the terms “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company” and “Operating Partnership” (including their respective subsidiaries and affiliates) refer to the business and properties of all these entities, unless the context otherwise requires. The Company’s executive offices are located at 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York 11050-3765 (telephone 516-767-6492). The Company also currently maintains property management, construction management and/or leasing offices at several of its shopping-center properties. The Company’s website can be accessed at www.cedarshoppingcenters.com, where a copy of the Company’s Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) can be obtained free of charge. These SEC filings are added to the website as soon as reasonably practicable. The Company’s Code of Ethics, corporate governance guidelines and committee charters are also available on the website. This information is also available by written request to Investor Relations at the executive office address set forth above.
     The Company’s executive office at 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York, is located in 8,600 square feet (including 1,100 additional square feet effective April 1, 2007) which it leases from a partnership owned 24% by the Company’s Chairman; the terms of the leases expire over periods ending in March 2012. The Company believes that the terms of the leases are at fair market value.

     The terms of the Company’s retail leases vary from tenancies at will to 25 years, excluding extension options. Anchor tenant leases are typically for 10 to 25 years, with one or more extension options available to the lessee upon expiration of the initial lease term. By contrast, smaller store leases are typically negotiated for 5-year terms. The longer terms of major tenant leases serve to protect the Company against significant vacancies and to assure the presence of strong tenants which draw consumers to its centers. The shorter terms of smaller store leases allow the Company under appropriate circumstances to adjust rental rates periodically for non-major store space and, where possible, to upgrade or adjust the overall tenant mix.
     Most leases contain provisions requiring tenants to pay their pro rata share of real estate taxes and certain operating costs. Some leases also provide that tenants pay percentage rent based upon sales volume generally in excess of certain negotiated minimums.
     Giant Food Stores, Inc. (“Giant Foods”) and Stop & Shop, Inc., which are both owned by Ahold N.V., a Netherlands corporation, collectively leased approximately 10% of the Company’s GLA at December 31, 2006 and accounted for approximately 14% of the Company’s total revenues during 2006. No other tenants leased more than 10% of GLA at December 31, 2006, contributed more than 10% of total revenues during 2006, or had a net book value equal to more than 10% of total assets at December 31, 2006.
     Depreciation on all the Company’s properties is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective real properties and improvements, which range from three to forty years.
Acquisitions/Dispositions in 2006
     During 2006, the Company acquired 13 shopping and convenience centers containing approximately 1.7 million sq. ft. of GLA for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $177.3 million. The Company also acquired eight tracts of land for development. The parcels, located in Pennsylvania (six) and New York (two), aggregated approximately 179 acres, and cost an aggregate of approximately $32.5 million.

    the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors obtained an appraisal in support of the purchase price and the consideration given. The Company had previously held an option to acquire the property, and had, together with its predecessor companies, been providing property management, leasing, construction management and legal services to the property since 1986.
     
(4)   These nine properties, acquired individually and not as part of a portfolio, had acquisition costs of less than $20.0 million each. The amount includes $11,814,000 of purchase accounting allocations applicable to properties acquired during 2005.
     
(5)   In addition , the Company has a 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, which owns a single-tenant office property located in Philadelphia, PA.
     On May 23, 2006, the Company sold its 20% interest in the unconsolidated joint venture partnership which owned the Red Lion shopping center, located in Philadelphia, PA, for net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million and the transfer of the mortgage loan on the property of approximately $16.2 million. In connection with the transaction, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $141,000. Also on May 23, 2006, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in an LA Fitness facility, located in Fort Washington, PA, for a purchase price of $2.5 million, plus certain costs and adjustments; the total outstanding mortgage loan on the property was approximately $4.9 million at the time. The excess of the purchase price and adjustments over the carrying value of the minority interest partner’s account (approximately $1.8 million) was recorded in the Company’s real estate asset account. The minority interests in both the Red Lion and LA Fitness facility partnerships were sponsored by the same corporate entity.
Competition
     The Company believes that competition for the acquisition and operation of retail shopping and convenience centers is highly fragmented. It faces competition from institutional investors, public and private REITs, owner-operators engaged in the acquisition, ownership and leasing of shopping centers, as well as from numerous local, regional and national real estate developers and owners in each of its markets. It also faces competition in leasing available space at its properties to prospective tenants. Competition for tenants varies depending upon the characteristics of each local market in which the Company owns and manages properties. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in its market areas are location, price and other terms, the presence of anchor tenants, the mix and quality of other tenants, and maintenance and appearance of its properties.
Environmental Matters
     Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or other contaminants at property owned, leased, managed or otherwise operated by such person, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, and for investigation and clean up costs in connection with such contamination. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such conditions, may adversely affect the owner’s, lessor’s or operator’s ability to sell or rent such property or to arrange financing using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of real properties, the Company may potentially become liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs and liabilities, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and/or property.
     The Company believes that environmental studies generally conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to substantially all of its properties have not revealed environmental liabilities that would have a material adverse affect on its business, results of operations or liquidity. However, no assurances can be given that existing environmental studies with respect to any of the properties reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner of or tenant at a property did not create a material environmental condition not known to the Company, or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist at any one or more of its

Table of Contents

properties. If a material environmental condition does in fact exist, it could have an adverse impact upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Employees
     As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 109 employees (101 full-time and eight part-time). The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry.
     Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry, including, among other things, risks related to adverse changes in national, regional and local economic and market conditions. Our continued ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders depends on our ability to generate sufficient revenues to meet operating expenses, future debt service and capital expenditure requirements. Events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events and conditions include, but may not be limited to, the following:
  1.   local oversupply, increased competition or declining demand for real estate;
 
  2.   inability to collect rent or other charges from tenants;
 
  3.   vacancies or an inability to rent space on favorable terms;
 
  4.   inability to finance property development, tenant improvements and acquisitions on favorable terms;
 
  5.   increased operating costs, including real estate taxes, insurance premiums, utilities, repairs and maintenance;
 
  6.   increases in interest rates;
 
  7.   increased costs of complying with current, new or expanded governmental regulations;
 
  8.   the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;
 
  9.   changing market demographics; and
 
  10.   changing traffic patterns.
     In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, increased interest rates or decreased demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases, which in turn could adversely affect our business, results of operations, liquidity, per share trading price of our common stock, and the ability to satisfy our debt service or repayment obligations and to make distributions to our shareholders.
We have recently experienced and expect to continue to experience substantial growth and may not be able to integrate additional properties effectively into our operations or otherwise manage our growth, which in turn may adversely affect our operating results.
     All of our properties have been acquired since 2000, and the acquisition of any additional properties would generate additional operating expenses that we would be required to pay. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adapt our management, administrative, accounting and operational systems, or hire and retain sufficient operational staff, to integrate these properties into our portfolio without operating disruptions

10


Table of Contents

or unanticipated costs. Any failure by us to effectively integrate any future acquisitions into our portfolio could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
     Our properties will be subject to increases in real estate and other tax rates, utility costs, insurance costs, repairs, maintenance and other operating expenses, and administrative expenses. Rising operating expenses and/or interest rates could reduce our cash flow and funds available for future distributions. Our properties and any properties we acquire in the future are, and will be, subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may have a negative effect. If any property is not fully occupied or if rental receipts are insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend other available funds for that property’s operating expenses. If we are unable to maintain profitability, the market price of our common stock could decrease, our business and operations could be negatively impacted, and we may have to reduce, eliminate or suspend our dividend.
Our substantial indebtedness may impede our operating performance and put us at a competitive disadvantage.
     We intend to incur additional debt in connection with future acquisitions of real estate and in connection with the development and redevelopment of properties owned by us. We also may borrow funds to make distributions to shareholders. Our debt may harm our business and operating results by (1) requiring us to use a substantial portion of our available liquidity to pay required debt service and/or repayments or establish additional reserves, which would reduce the amount available for distributions, (2) placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt or debt at more favorable terms, (3) making us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reducing our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions, and (4) limiting our ability to borrow more money for operations, capital expenditures, or to finance acquisitions in the future. Increases in interest rates may impede our operating performance and put us at a competitive disadvantage. Payments of required debt service or amounts due at maturity, or creation of additional reserves under loan agreements, could adversely affect our liquidity.
     In addition to these risks and those normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, we are also subject to the risk that we will not be able to refinance existing indebtedness on our properties (which, in most cases, will not have been fully amortized at maturity), or that the terms of any refinancing we could obtain would be favorable. If we are not successful in refinancing existing indebtedness, or otherwise unable to repay our outstanding indebtedness when it becomes due, we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms, which might adversely affect our operating performance, our ability to service other debt, and to meet our other obligations.
We may not be successful in identifying suitable acquisitions that meet our criteria, which may impede our growth; if we do identify suitable acquisition targets, we may not be able to consummate such transactions on terms favorable to us.
     Integral to our business strategy is our ability to expand through acquisitions, which requires us to identify suitable acquisition candidates or investment opportunities that meet our criteria and are compatible with our growth and operating strategy. We analyze potential acquisitions on a property-by-property and market-by-market basis. We may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our acquisition criteria, or in consummating acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failure to identify or consummate acquisitions could reduce the number of acquisitions we complete and slow our growth, which could in turn harm our stock price.

     We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of retail properties, including institutional investors, public and private REITs, and other owner-operators of shopping centers. These competitors may drive up the price we must pay for real estate properties, or may succeed in acquiring those properties themselves. Further, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase. This would result in increased demand for such properties and therefore increased pricing. If we pay higher prices for properties, our profitability could be reduced.
As substantially all of our revenues are derived from rental income, failure of tenants to pay rent or delays in arranging leases and occupancy at our properties, particularly with respect to anchor tenants, could seriously harm our operating results and financial condition.
     Substantially all of our revenues are derived from rental income from our properties. Our tenants may experience a downturn in their respective businesses at any time that may weaken their financial condition. As a result, any such tenants may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent, or declare bankruptcy. Any leasing delays, failure to make rental or other payments when due, or tenant bankruptcies, could result in the termination of tenants’ leases, which would have a negative impact on our operating results. In addition, adverse market conditions and competition may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, which could harm our business and operating results.
     Our business may be seriously harmed if a major tenant fails to renew its lease(s) or vacates one or more properties and prevents us from re-leasing such premises by continuing to pay base rent for the balance of the lease terms. In addition, the loss of such a major tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants, as provided in their respective leases.
     We may be restricted from re-leasing space based on existing exclusivity lease provisions with some of our tenants. In these cases, the leases contain provisions giving the tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center which limit the ability of other tenants within that center to sell such merchandise or provide such services. When re-leasing space after a vacancy by one of such other tenants, such lease provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants for the vacant space. The failure to re-lease space or to re-lease space on satisfactory terms could harm operating results.
     Any bankruptcy filings by, or relating to, one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would generally bar efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant, or lease guarantor, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. A bankruptcy by a tenant or lease guarantor could delay efforts to collect past due balances, and could ultimately preclude full collection of such sums. If a lease is affirmed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must generally be paid in full. However, if a lease is disaffirmed by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only an unsecured claim for damages, which would be paid normally only to the extent that funds are available, and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other members of the same class of unsecured creditors. It is possible and indeed likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold, which may in turn harm our financial condition.

Adverse market conditions and competition may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, which could harm our business and operating results.
     We also face competition from similar retail centers within our respective trade areas that may affect our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire. In addition, any new competitive properties that are developed within the trade areas of our existing properties may result in increased competition for customer traffic and creditworthy tenants. Increased competition for tenants may require us to make tenant and/or capital improvements to properties beyond those that we would otherwise have planned to make. Any unbudgeted tenant and/or capital improvements we undertake may reduce cash that would otherwise be available for distributions to shareholders. Ultimately, to the extent we are unable to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, our business and operations could be negatively impacted.
Our current and future joint venture investments could be adversely affected by the lack of sole decision-making authority, reliance on joint venture partners’ financial condition, and any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners.
     We presently own four of our properties through joint ventures and in the future we may co-invest with third parties through joint ventures and/or contribute some of our properties to joint ventures. In addition, we have a 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns a single-tenant office property. We may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the properties owned through joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present when a third party is not involved, including the possibility that joint venture partners might file for bankruptcy protection or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Joint venture partners may have business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments also may have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the joint venture partner would have full control over the joint venture. Any disputes that may arise between us and joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with joint venture partners might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party joint venture partners. Further, the terms of certain of our joint venture partnership agreements provide for minimum priority cumulative returns to the joint venture partners. To the extent that these specified minimum returns are not achieved, our equity interest in these partnerships may be negatively affected.
The financial covenants in our loan agreements may restrict our operating or acquisition activities, which may harm our financial condition and operating results.
     The financial covenants in our loan agreements may restrict our operating or acquisition activities, which may harm our financial condition and operating results. The mortgages on our properties contain customary negative covenants, such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to sell or otherwise transfer any ownership interest, to further mortgage the applicable property, to enter into leases, or to discontinue insurance coverage. Our ability to borrow under our secured revolving credit facility is subject to compliance with these financial and other covenants, including restrictions on property eligible for collateral, and overall restrictions on the amount of indebtedness we can incur. If we breach covenants in our debt agreements, the lenders could declare a default and require us to repay the debt immediately and, if the debt is secured, could take possession of the property or properties securing the loan.

Our properties consist primarily of community shopping and convenience centers. Our performance therefore is linked to economic conditions in the market for retail space generally.
     Our properties consist primarily of supermarket-anchored community shopping centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers, and our performance therefore is linked to economic conditions in the market for retail space generally. The market for retail space has been, and could be, adversely affected by actual or perceived weaknesses in national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition or revised operating strategies of certain retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets, and increasing consumer purchases through catalogues or the Internet. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to impact market rents for retail space.
Substantially all of our properties are located in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, which exposes us to greater economic risks than if our properties were owned in several geographic regions.
     Our properties are located in nine states, largely in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, which exposes us to greater economic risks than if we owned properties in more geographic regions. Any adverse economic or real estate developments resulting from regulatory environment, business climate, fiscal problems or weather in such regions could have an adverse impact on our prospects. In addition, the economic condition of each of our markets may be dependent on one or more industries. An economic downturn in one of these industry sectors may result in an increase in tenant vacancies, which may harm our performance in the affected markets.
     Economic and market conditions also may impact the ability of our tenants to make payments required by their leases. If our properties do not generate sufficient income to meet operating expenses, including current and future debt service, our business and results of operations would be significantly harmed.
Development and redevelopment activities may be delayed or otherwise may not achieve expected results.
     Development/redevelopment activities may be delayed or otherwise may not achieve expected results. We are in the process of developing/redeveloping several of our properties and expect to continue such activities in the future. In this connection, we will bear certain risks, including the risks of construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs and make such project uneconomical, the risk that occupancy or rental rates at a completed project will not be sufficient to enable us to pay operating expenses or achieve targeted rates of return on investment, and the risk of incurring acquisition and/or predevelopment costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion. Development/redevelopment activities are also generally subject to governmental permits and approvals, which may be delayed, may not be obtained, or may be conditioned on terms unfavorable to us. In addition, consents may be required from various tenants, lenders, and/or joint venture partners. In case of an unsuccessful project, our loss could exceed our investment in the project.
Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
     Our success depends on the efforts of key personnel, whose continued service is not guaranteed. The loss of services of key personnel could materially and adversely affect our operations because of diminished relationships with lenders, sources of equity capital, construction companies, and existing and prospective tenants, and the ability to conduct our business and operations without material disruption.

Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.
     Potential losses may not be covered by insurance. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance under a blanket policy covering all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from war, nuclear accidents, and nuclear, biological and chemical occurrences from terrorist’s acts. Some of the insurance, such as that covering losses due to floods and earthquakes, is subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses. Additionally, certain tenants have termination rights in respect of certain casualties. If we receive casualty proceeds, we may not be able to reinvest such proceeds profitably or at all, and we may be forced to recognize taxable gain on the affected property. If we experience losses that are uninsured or that exceed policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.
If we fail to continue as a REIT, our distributions will not be deductible, and our income will be subject to taxation, thereby reducing earnings available for distribution.
     If we do not continue to qualify as a REIT, our distributions will not be deductible, and our income will be subject to taxation, reducing earnings available for distribution. We have elected since 1986 to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements.
     We intend to make distributions to shareholders to comply with the requirements of the Code. However, differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash could require us to sell assets or borrow funds to meet the 90% distribution requirement of the Code. Certain assets generate substantial differences between taxable income and income recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Such assets include, without limitation, operating real estate that was acquired through structures that may limit or completely eliminate the depreciation deduction that would otherwise be available for income tax purposes. As a result, the Code requirement to distribute a substantial portion of our otherwise net taxable income in order to maintain REIT status could cause us to (1) distribute amounts that could otherwise be used for future acquisitions, capital expenditures or repayment of debt, (2) borrow on unfavorable terms, or (3) sell assets on unfavorable terms. If we fail to obtain debt or equity capital in the future, it could limit our operations and our ability to grow, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock.
     Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates under tax legislation which reduced the maximum tax rate for dividends payable to individuals from 35% to 15% (through 2008). Although this legislation does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends paid by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stock of corporations that pay dividends qualifying for reduced rates of tax, which in turn could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs.
We could incur significant costs related to government regulation and litigation over environmental matters and various other federal, state and local regulatory requirements.
     We could incur significant costs related to government regulations and litigation over environmental matters. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be

15


Table of Contents

required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or other contaminants at property owned, leased, managed or otherwise operated by such person, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, and for investigation and clean up costs in connection with such contamination. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such conditions, may adversely affect the owner’s, lessor’s or operator’s ability to sell or rent such property or to arrange financing using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of real properties, we are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs and liabilities, including governmental fines, injuries to persons, and damage to property.
     We may incur significant costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) and similar laws, which require that all public accommodations meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons, and with various other federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements.
     Environmental studies generally conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to substantially all of our properties did not reveal any material environmental liabilities, and we are unaware of any subsequent environmental matters that would have created a material liability. We believe that our properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements. If one or more of our properties were not in compliance with such federal, state and local laws, we could be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with such requirements, our business and operations could be adversely affected. If we fail to comply with such requirements, we might incur governmental fines or private damage awards. We cannot presently determine whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely impact our business and operations.
Our charter and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction and depress our stock price.
     Our charter and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction and depress the price of our common stock. The charter, subject to certain exceptions, authorizes directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable relating to qualification as a REIT, and to limit any person to beneficial ownership of no more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt a proposed transferee from the ownership limit, but may not grant an exemption from the ownership limit to any proposed transferee whose direct or indirect ownership could jeopardize our status as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as, or to be, a REIT. This ownership limit may delay or impede a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of shareholders.
     We may authorize and issue stock and OP Units without shareholder approval. Our charter authorizes the Board of Directors to issue additional shares of common or preferred stock, to issue additional OP Units, to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock, and to set the preferences, rights and other terms of such classified or unclassified shares. Although the Board of Directors has no such intention at the present time, it could establish a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of shareholders.
     Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under

circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of shares of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:
  1.   “business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person or an affiliate thereof who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our             shares) for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes special appraisal rights and special stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and
 
  2.   “control share” provisions that provide that our “control shares” (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of control shares) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.
     We have opted out of these provisions of the MGCL. However, the Board of Directors may, by resolution, elect to opt in to the business combination provisions of the MGCL, and we may, by amendment to our bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL.
Future terrorist attacks could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties.
     Future terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war, could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties. Terrorist attacks could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs, and the availability of insurance for such acts may be limited or may be subject to substantial cost increases. To the extent that our tenants are impacted by future attacks, their ability to continue to honor obligations under their existing leases could be adversely affected.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments: None
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
     The Company is not presently involved in any litigation, nor, to its knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries, which is either not covered by the Company’s liability insurance, or, in management’s opinion, would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

(a) Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as 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 do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REIT’s operating performance. The Company presents FFO because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Among other things, the Company uses FFO or an FFO-based measure (1) as one of several criteria to determine performance-based bonuses for members of senior management, (2) in performance comparisons with other shopping center REITs, and (3) to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the terms of the Loan Agreement relating to the Company’s secured revolving credit facility. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income applicable to common shareholders (determined in accordance

Table of Contents

with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are computed to reflect FFO on the same basis). FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income applicable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another.

At December 31, 2006, the portfolio of wholly-owned properties was comprised of (1) 86 “stabilized” properties (those properties at least 80% leased and not designated as “development/redevelopment” properties), with an aggregate of 8.6 million square feet of GLA, which were approximately 95.2% leased, (2) three development/redevelopment properties with an aggregate of 650,000 square feet of GLA, which were approximately 61.1% leased, and (3) four non-stabilized properties with an aggregate of 305,000 square feet of GLA, which are presently being re-tenanted and which were approximately 71.3% leased. The four properties owned in joint venture are all “stabilized” properties and are 100.0% leased. The entire 97 property portfolio was approximately 92.5% leased at December 31, 2006. In addition, the Company has a 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns a single-tenant office property.
     The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to the Operating Partnership, organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2006, the Company owned 95.7% of the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. OP Units are economically equivalent to the Company’s common stock and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders on a one-to-one basis.
     The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Company’s 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 supermarket-anchored community shopping centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers. The Company believes, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, that the nature of its investments provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.
     The Company continues to seek opportunities to acquire stabilized properties and properties suited for development and/or redevelopment where it can utilize its experience in shopping center construction, renovation, expansion, re-leasing and re-merchandising to achieve long-term cash flow growth and favorable investment returns. The Company would also consider investment opportunities in regions beyond its present markets in the event such opportunities were consistent with its focus, could be effectively controlled and managed, have the potential for favorable investment returns, and would contribute to increased shareholder value.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
     The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and purchase accounting allocations related thereto, asset impairment, and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks. Management’s estimates are based both on information that is currently available and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those estimates could be different under varying assumptions or conditions.
     The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies, the application of which requires significant judgments and estimates:
Revenue Recognition
     Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included in rents and other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred. In addition, certain operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount as additional rent. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified targets are met.
     The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management evaluates accounts receivable by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and changes in tenants’ payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, whereas a lower bad debt allowance would result in higher net income.
Real Estate Investments
     Real estate assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of real estate assets are capitalized. Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset’s estimated useful life. The Company is required to make subjective estimates as to the useful lives of its real estate assets for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. A shorter estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of increasing depreciation expense and lowering net income, whereas a longer estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of reducing depreciation expense and increasing net income.

     The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles”, in valuing real estate acquisitions. In connection therewith, the fair value of real estate acquired is allocated to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of such assets. In valuing an acquired property’s intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. The value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates, over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received and management’s estimate of market lease rates, measured over the non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The value of other intangibles is amortized to expense, and the above-market and below-market lease values are amortized to rental income, over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time. Management is required to make subjective assessments in connection with its valuation of real estate acquisitions. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because (1) above-market and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to rental income, and (2) the value of other intangibles is amortized to expense. Accordingly, higher allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would result in higher rental income and amortization expense, whereas lower allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would result in lower rental income and amortization expense.
     The Company applies SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to recognize and measure impairment of long-lived assets. Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. A real estate investment held for sale is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period held for sale. Management is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the assessment is made.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments”, effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans, including all arrangements by which employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer, or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of the employer’s stock. The statement also defined a fair value based method of accounting for an employee

stock option or similar equity instrument. The implementation of the statement has not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
     The Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) provides for the granting of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance units and performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 850,000, and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to grants to any single participant is 250,000. Substantially all grants issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan are “restricted stock grants” which specify vesting (1) upon the third anniversary of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants. Time –based grants are valued according to the market price for the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. These value estimates have a direct impact on net income, because higher valuations would result in lower net income, where lower valuations would result in higher net income. The value of such grants is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods.
Results of Operations
      Acquisitions . Differences in results of operations between 2006 and 2005, and between 2005 and 2004, respectively, were driven largely by acquisitions. During the period January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2006, the Company acquired 66 shopping and convenience centers aggregating approximately 5.3 million sq. ft. of GLA and approximately 180 acres of land for expansion and/or future development, for a total cost of approximately $659.8 million. Income before minority and limited partners’ interests and preferred distribution requirements increased to $16.9 million in 2006 from $14.8 million in 2005 and $9.3 million in 2004.

Properties held in both years . The Company held 30 properties throughout both 2006 and 2005. Rents and expense recoveries increased primarily as a result of lease commencements at the development properties. Property expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in the net provision for doubtful accounts at several of the properties. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily as a result of development properties being placed in service.

Properties held in both years . The Company held 22 properties throughout both 2005 and 2004. Rents and expense recoveries increased primarily as a result of lease commencements at the development properties. Property expenses decreased primarily as a result of the de-malling of the Camp Hill shopping center. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily as a result of development properties being placed in service.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of (1) the Company’s growth throughout 2004 and 2005, and (2) litigation expense related to a matter, where the Company is plaintiff, that was largely completed during 2005.
Non-operating income and expense. Interest expense increased as a result of a higher level of borrowing generally used to finance acquisition properties, and higher short-term interest rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and preferred and common dividend distributions, primarily from operating cash flows; the Company also has used its secured revolving credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to fund long-term liquidity requirements for property acquisitions, development and/or redevelopment costs, capital improvements, and maturing debt initially with the secured revolving credit facility and property-specific construction financing, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or assuming additional mortgage debt, the sale of equity securities, and the issuance of additional OP Units.
     The Company has a $300 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has pledged certain of its shopping center properties as collateral for borrowings thereunder; the facility is expandable to $400 million, subject to certain

conditions, and will expire in January 2009, subject to a one-year extension option. As of December 31, 2006, based on covenants and collateral in place, the Company was permitted to draw up to approximately $278.0 million, of which approximately $209.5 million remained available as of that date. The credit facility is used to fund acquisitions, development and redevelopment activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including limits on leverage and other financial statement ratios. The Company plans to add additional properties, when available, to the collateral pool with the intent of making the full facility available.
     At December 31, 2006, the Company’s financial liquidity was provided principally by (1) $17.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and (2) $209.5 million available under the secured revolving credit facility. Mortgage loans payable at December 31, 2006 consisted of fixed-rate notes totaling $494.8 million (with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%) and variable-rate notes totaling $73.3 million, including $68.5 million under the secured revolving credit facility (with a combined weighted average interest rate of 6.7%). Total mortgage loans payable have an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.8% and mature at various dates through 2021.
          In December 2006, the Company concluded the sale of 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $16.00 per share resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting fees and issuance expenses, of approximately $113.8 million (in January 2007, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of 275,000 shares, resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting fees and issuance expenses, of approximately $4.2 million). In connection with a public offering consummated in August 2005, the Company entered into a forward sales agreement with the lead underwriter, whereby the Company had the right to deliver up to 4,350,000 shares of its common stock, in whole or in part, at any time, through August 17, 2006. Pursuant to the agreement, upon delivery of the shares, the Company would receive $13.87 per share, subject to certain interest and dividend adjustments. In June 2006, the 3,250,000 shares remaining under the agreement were settled at approximately $13.60 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $44.2 million. Pursuant to a registration statement filed in June 2005 and prospectus supplements related thereto (applicable to a total of 7,000,000 shares), the Company is authorized to sell shares of its common stock through registered deferred offering programs. Pursuant to these programs, the Company sold approximately 3.3 million shares of its common stock during 2006, at an average price of $15.64 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after issuance expenses, of approximately $49.9 million.
     Portions of the Company’s assets are owned through joint venture partnership arrangements which require, among other things, that the Company maintain separate cash accounts for the operations of the respective properties. In addition, the terms of certain of the Company’s mortgage agreements require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such “restricted cash” is separately classified on the Company’s balance sheet, and is available for the specific purposes for which it was established; it is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.

Net Cash Flows
Operating Activities
     Net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $37.9 million during 2006, compared to $29.9 million during 2005, and $18.5 million during 2004. The increase in operating cash flows during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were primarily the result of property acquisitions.
Investing Activities
     Net cash flows used in investing activities were $187.7 million in 2006, $327.8 million in 2005, and $168.3 million in 2004, and were primarily the result of the Company’s acquisition program. During 2006, the Company acquired 13 shopping and convenience centers and land for future development, and acquired and sold interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. During 2005, the Company acquired 50 shopping and convenience centers and three redevelopment properties. During 2004, the Company acquired five shopping centers, three redevelopment properties, one development property, and land for future expansion.
Financing Activities
     Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $159.1 million in 2006, $298.0 million in 2005, and $152.1 million in 2004. During 2006, the Company received $207.9 million in net proceeds from public offerings and $118.9 million in net proceeds from mortgage financings, offset by a net reduction of $79.0 million in the outstanding balance of the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, the repayment of mortgage obligations of $47.6 million, preferred and common stock distributions of $37.2 million, the payment of financing costs of $2.2 million, and distributions paid to minority and limited partner interests of $1.7 million. During 2005, the Company received $168.5 million in net proceeds from public offerings, $91.3 million in net proceeds from mortgage financings, and $79.3 million in net proceeds from the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, offset by the repayment of mortgage obligations of $8.9 million, preferred and common stock distributions of $28.1 million, the payment of financing costs of $3.6 million, and distributions paid to, net of capital contributions from, minority and limited partner interests of $0.5 million. During 2004, the Company received $94.9 million in net proceeds from public offerings, $51.2 million in net proceeds from the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, $44.2 million in net proceeds from mortgage financings, and $0.6 million realized from the termination of interest rate hedges, offset by the repayment of mortgage obligations of $19.6 million, preferred and common stock distributions of $16.0 million, the payment of financing costs of $2.1 million, and distributions paid to minority and limited partner interests of $1.1 million.

Funds From Operations
     Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as 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 do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REIT’s operating performance. The Company presents FFO because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Among other things, the Company uses FFO or an FFO-based measure (1) as one of several criteria to determine performance-based bonuses for members of senior management, (2) in performance comparisons with other shopping center REITs, and (3) to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the terms of the Loan Agreement relating to the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income applicable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are computed to reflect FFO on the same basis).
     FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income applicable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another. The following table sets forth the Company’s calculations of FFO for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

At the same time, low inflation has had the indirect effect of reducing the Company’s ability to increase tenant rents. However, the Company’s properties have tenants whose leases include expense reimbursements and other provisions to minimize the effect of inflation.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The primary market risk facing the Company is interest rate risk on its variable-rate mortgage loan payable and secured revolving credit facility. The Company will, when advantageous, hedge its interest rate risk using derivative financial instruments. The Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.
     The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (1) the secured floating-rate revolving credit facility used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand its real estate investment portfolio, and (2) floating-rate construction financing. The Company’s 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 fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and/or treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

     At December 31, 2006, long-term debt consisted of fixed- and variable-rate mortgage loans payable, and the variable-rate secured revolving credit facility. The average interest rate on the $494.8 million of fixed rate indebtedness outstanding was 5.7%, with maturities at various dates through 2021. The average interest rate on the Company’s $73.3 million of variable-rate debt was 6.7%, with maturities at various dates through 2009. Based on the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2006, if interest rates either increase or decrease by 1%, the Company’s net income would decrease or increase respectively by approximately $733,000 per annum.

These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Item 9A. Controls and Procedures –“Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, that Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Cedar Shopping Center, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2006 consolidated financial statements of Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. and our report dated March 9, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Preparation
     Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in 1984 and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) in 1986. The Company has focused primarily on the ownership, operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored community shopping centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers located in nine states, largely in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. At December 31, 2006, the Company owned 97 properties, aggregating approximately 10.1 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).
     Cedar Shopping Centers 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 December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company owned a 95.7% and 95.0%, respectively, economic interest in, and is the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership (4.3% and 5.0% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) is represented by Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”), and is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners’ ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net equity. The approximately 1,984,000 OP Units outstanding at December 31, 2006 are economically equivalent to the Company’s common stock and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders on a one-to-one basis.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and joint venture partnerships in which it participates. With respect to its four consolidated joint ventures, the Company has general partnership interests of 25% and 30% and, (1) as such entities are not variable-interest entities pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), and (2) the Company is the sole general partner and exercises substantial operating control over these entities pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”, the Company has determined that such partnerships should be consolidated for financial statement purposes. EITF 04-05 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a limited partnership or similar entity in which it owns a minority interest. EITF 04-05 became effective on June 29, 2005 for all newly formed or modified limited partnership arrangements and on January 1, 2006 for all existing limited partnership arrangements. In this connection, the Company deconsolidated the Red Lion joint venture as of January 1, 2006 and recognized its share of the venture’s results under the equity method from that date through May 23, 2006, when its partnership interest was sold. The Company also has a 49% interest, acquired in 2006, in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns a single-tenant office property. Although the Company exercises influence over this joint venture, it accounts for its investment under the equity method because the Company (1) does not have operating control over the joint venture, and (2) has determined that the joint venture is not a variable-interest entity pursuant to FIN 46R.
     As used herein, the “Company” refers to Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. only.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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.
Real Estate Investments
     Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives of the respective assets:
     
     Buildings and improvements
  40 years
     Tenant improvements
  Over the lives of the respective leases
     Depreciation expense amounted to $31,863,000, $18,862,000 and $9,753,000 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the properties are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred, and amounted to $4,365,000, $2,715,000 and $2,102,000 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Upon the sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization would be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, would be reflected as discontinued operations. In addition, prior periods’ financial statements would be reclassified to eliminate the operations of sold properties. Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset’s estimated useful life. Interest capitalized amounted to $3,676,000, $3,427,000 and $1,633,000 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, requires that management review each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. No impairment provisions were recorded by the Company during the three years ended December 31, 2006. A real estate investment held for sale is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period held for sale.

     FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”, provides clarification of the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143, “Asset Retirement Obligations”, to be a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company. The Interpretation requires that the Company record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental studies generally conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to substantially all of the Company’s properties did not reveal any material environmental liabilities, and the Company is unaware of any subsequent environmental matters that would have created a material liability. The Company believes that its properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements. There were no conditional asset retirement obligation liabilities recorded by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005 (the implementation year of the Interpretation).
Intangible Lease Asset/Liability
     SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles”, require that management allocate the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities.
     The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired property’s intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management considers real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
     The value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates, over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received and management’s estimate of market lease rates, measured over the non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The value of other intangibles is amortized to expense, and the above-market and below-market lease values are amortized to rental income, over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
     With respect to all of the Company’s acquisitions through December 31, 2006, the fair value of in-place leases and other intangibles has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to the applicable intangible asset and liability accounts. Unamortized intangible lease liabilities relate primarily to below-market leases, and amounted to $53,160,000 and $27,943,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     As a result of recording the intangible lease assets and liabilities, (1) revenues were increased by $10,298,000, $4,129,000 and $2,154,000 for the years ended December 31 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to the amortization of intangible lease liabilities, and (2) depreciation and amortization expense was increased correspondingly by $12,052,000, $6,396,000 and $2,656,000 for the respective three-year periods.
     The unamortized balance of intangible lease liabilities of $53,160,000 at December 31, 2006 is net of accumulated amortization of $17,606,000, and will be credited to future operations through 2026 as follows:
         
2007
  $ 9,395,000  
2008
    8,623,000  
2009
    7,336,000  
2010
    4,870,000  
2011
    3,791,000  
Thereafter
    19,145,000  
 
     
 
  $ 53,160,000  
 
     
Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities of less than ninety days.
Cash at Consolidated Joint Ventures and Restricted Cash
     Joint venture partnership agreements require, among other things, that the Company maintain separate cash accounts for the operation of the joint ventures, and that distributions to the general and minority interest partners be strictly controlled. Cash at consolidated joint ventures amounted to $598,000 and $1,385,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
     The terms of several of the Company’s 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 reserve was established; it is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations. Restricted cash amounted to $10,909,000 and $9,030,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Rents and Other Receivables
     Management has determined that all of the Company’s leases with its various tenants are operating leases. Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included in rents and other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred; such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, certain operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount as additional rent. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified targets are met.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes accounts receivable and the allowance for bad debts by considering historical bad debts, tenant creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in tenants’ payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
Concentration of Credit Risk
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured amounts and tenant receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires certain tenants to provide security deposits. Although these security deposits are insufficient to meet the terminal value of a tenant’s lease obligations, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost rents and other charges, and the costs associated with releasing the space. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1,439,000 and $1,351,000, respectively.
     Giant Food Stores, Inc. (“Giant Foods”) and Stop & Shop, Inc., which are both owned by Ahold N.V., a Netherlands corporation, collectively accounted for approximately 14%, 11% and 10% of the Company’s total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Giant Foods leases are generally guaranteed by the parent company.
     Total revenues from properties located in Pennsylvania amounted to 55%, 65% and 86% of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Deferred Charges, Net
     Deferred charges at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are net of accumulated amortization and are comprised of the following:
                 
    2006     2005  
Deferred lease origination costs (1)
  $ 15,050,000     $ 11,433,000  
Deferred financing costs (2)
    5,939,000       5,521,000  
Other deferred charges
    1,452,000       685,000  
     
 
  $ 22,441,000     $ 17,639,000  
     
 
(1)   Deferred lease origination costs include intangible lease assets resulting from purchase accounting allocations of $11,523,000 and $8,856,000, respectively.
 
(2)   Deferred financing costs are incurred in connection with the Company’s secured revolving credit facility and other long-term debt.

Such costs are amortized over the terms of the related agreements. Amortization expense related to deferred charges (including amortization of deferred financing costs included in non-operating income and expense) amounted to $4,468,000, $2,815,000 and $2,648,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The unamortized balances of deferred lease origination costs and deferred financing costs are net of accumulated amortization of $5,574,000 and $3,635,000, respectively, and will be charged to future operations as follows (lease origination costs through 2026, and financing costs through 2025):

(1)   Represents deferred lease origination costs applicable to leases with commencement dates beginning after December 31, 2006.
Income Taxes
     The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements.
     In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), regarding accounting for and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement in the financial statements of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance as to its application and related transition, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
     The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. The Company has not entered into, and does not plan to enter into, derivative

47


Table of Contents

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Additionally, the Company has a policy of only entering into derivative contracts with major financial institutions.
     SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, requires the Company to measure derivative instruments at fair value and to record them in the consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. The Company’s derivative investments are primarily cash flow hedges that limit the base rate of variable rate debt. For cash flow hedges, the ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in operations, if applicable, and the effective portion of the fair value difference of the derivative is reflected separately in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires the Company to disclose fair value information of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The Company’s financial instruments, other than fixed-rate mortgage loans payable, are generally short-term in nature, or bear interest at variable current market rates, and contain minimal credit risk. These instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash at consolidated joint ventures and restricted cash, rents and other receivables, other assets, and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other. The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities are assumed to be at fair value. The fair values of fixed-rate mortgage loans payable, estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analysis at interest rates reflective of current market conditions, were $489,834,000 and $341,611,000, respectively, at December 31, 2006 and 2005; the carrying values of such loans were $494,764,000 and $338,988,000, respectively, at those dates.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing assets or liabilities. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, and applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157, which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement does not eliminate the disclosure requirements of other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements in SFAS No. 107 and SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the statement, which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (including shares held by the Rabbi Trusts). 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; such additional dilutive shares amounted to 129,000, 43,000 and 3,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004..
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments”, effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans, including all arrangements by which employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer, or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of the employer’s stock. The statement also defined a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The implementation of the statement has not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
     The Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) provides for the granting of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance units and performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 850,000, and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to grants to any single participant is 250,000. Substantially all grants issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan are “restricted stock grants” which specify vesting (1) upon the third anniversary of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants. Time–based grants are valued according to the market price for the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. In October 2006, the Company issued 35,000 shares of common stock as performance-based grants, which will vest if the total annual return on an investment in the Company’s common stock over the three-year period ending December 31, 2008 is equal to or greater than 8%. The independent appraisal determined the value of these shares to be $12.07 per share, compared to a market price at the date of grant of $16.49 per share. The value of such grants is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods. Those grants of restricted shares that are transferred to Rabbi Trusts are classified as treasury stock in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and are accounted for pursuant to EITF No. 97-14, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested”.

     During 2001, pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”), the Company granted to directors options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 17,000 shares of common stock at $10.50 per share, the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The options are fully exercisable and expire in 2011. In connection with the adoption of the Incentive Plan, the Company agreed that it would not grant any more options under the Option Plan.
     In connection with an acquisition of a shopping center in 2002, the Operating Partnership issued warrants to purchase approximately 83,000 OP Units to a minority interest partner in the property. Such warrants have an exercise price of $13.50 per unit, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, are fully vested, and expire in 2012.
401(k) Retirement Plan
     The Company has a 401(k) retirement plan (the “Plan”), which permits all eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation under the Code. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company may make discretionary contributions on behalf of eligible employees. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company made contributions to the Plan of $190,000, $166,000 and $0, respectively.
SAB 108
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior period misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 provides for

the quantification of the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. If a misstatement is material to the current year financial statements, the prior year financial statements should also be corrected, even though such revision was, and continues to be, immaterial to the prior year financial statements. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously-filed reports to be amended; such correction should be made in the current period filings. The adoption of SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

the underwriters of their over-allotment option) at a price of $13.80 per share, and realized net proceeds, after underwriting fees and offering costs, of $40.3 million. Substantially all of the net proceeds from these offerings were used initially to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.
     In August 2005, the Company consummated a public offering of an aggregate of 10,350,000 shares of its common stock (including 1,350,000 shares relating to the exercise of an over-allotment option), of which 6,000,000 shares were sold at that time at a price of $14.60 per share; the net proceeds from this sale, after underwriting fees and offering costs, were $82.8 million, substantially all of which were used initially to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility. With respect to the balance of the offering, the Company entered into a forward sales agreement with the lead underwriter, whereby the Company had the right to deliver up to 4,350,000 shares, in whole or in part, at any time, through August 17, 2006. Pursuant to the agreement, upon delivery of the shares, the Company would receive $13.87 per share, subject to certain interest and dividend adjustments. In November 2005, the Company issued 1,100,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $13.74 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the agreement; the net proceeds from this sale, after offering costs, were $15.1 million, substantially all of which were used initially to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility. In June 2006, the 3,250,000 shares remaining under the agreement were settled at approximately $13.60 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $44.2 million, substantially all of which were used initially to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.
     In December 2006, the Company sold 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $16.00 per share, and realized net proceeds, after underwriting fees and offering costs, of $113.8 million, substantially all of which were used initially to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility (in January 2007, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of 275,000 shares, and the Company realized additional net proceeds of $4.2 million).
     Pursuant to a registration statement filed in June 2005 and prospectus supplements thereto (applicable to a total of 7,000,000 shares), the Company is authorized to sell shares of its common stock through registered deferred offering programs. Pursuant to these programs, the Company sold 3,295,000 shares of its common stock during 2006, at an average price of $15.64 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after issuance expenses, of approximately $49.9 million.

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
Secured Revolving Credit Facility
     The Company has a $300 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has pledged certain of its shopping center properties as collateral for borrowings thereunder. The facility, as amended, is expandable to $400 million, subject to certain conditions, and will expire in January 2009, subject to a one-year extension option. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $68.5 million at December 31, 2006, and such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 6.60% per annum. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a basis point (“bps”) spread ranging from 110 bps to 145 bps depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined (the spread as of December 31, 2006 was 125 bps and, based on covenant measurements at that date, will be 110 bps effective January 1, 2007). The facility also requires an unused portion fee of 15 bps. Based on covenant measurements and collateral in place as of December 31, 2006, the Company was permitted to draw up to approximately $278.0 million, of which approximately $209.5 million remained available at that date.
     In connection with an amendment to the facility concluded in October 2006, the Company arranged a bridge loan facility with Bank of America, N.A. for an aggregate amount of $57.4 million, bearing interest at the same rate as the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, which amount remained outstanding from July 27, 2006 until it was repaid on October 20, 2006.
     The credit facility is used to fund acquisitions, development/redevelopment activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including limits on leverage and distributions (limited to 95% of funds from operations, as defined), and other financial statement ratios. The Company plans to add additional properties, when available, to the collateral pool with the intent of making the full facility available.
Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments
     In 2003, the Company entered into interest rate swaps converting LIBOR-based variable rate debt to fixed annual rates. Also in 2003, the Company entered into (1) a fair value hedge which swapped a fixed rate amortization schedule to a LIBOR-based variable rate (the change in the fair value of the hedge was charged to operations, and the position was closed in December 2004), and (2) $30 million non-specific five-year interest rate hedges capping LIBOR at 4.5% (since these caps did not relate to specific debt, they were ineffective for accounting purposes and, accordingly, changes in their fair values were charged to operations; these hedge positions were closed in December 2004).
     The following table summarizes the original notional values and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2006 and 2005:

     During 2006, the Company recognized a gain of $27,000, representing the change in the fair value of derivatives. Of this amount, a $19,000 gain was credited to minority interests in consolidated joint ventures, an $8,000 gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and no gain or loss was recorded to limited partners’ interest. During 2005, the Company recognized a gain of $314,000, representing the change in the fair value of derivatives. Of this amount, a $303,000 gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and an $11,000 gain was credited to limited partners’ interest. During 2004, the Company recognized a loss of $503,000, representing the change in the fair value of derivatives. Of this amount, a $220,000 gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a $7,000 gain was credited to limited partners’ interest, and the $730,000 ineffective portion of net loss on the 2003 hedges was charged to operations (included in depreciation and amortization).
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
     Certain of the purchase agreements relating to properties acquired by the Company have “earn out” provisions, which provide for a contingent payment to the seller in the event that vacant space, as of the closing date, is leased within an agreed-upon period of time. As of December 31, 2006, the total amount of such contingent payments is not expected to exceed approximately $12,000,000.
     The Company is a party to certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect there to be adverse consequences from these actions that would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances, or petroleum product releases, at its properties. The owner may be liable to governmental entities or to third parties for property damage, and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties in connection with any contamination. Management is unaware of any environmental matters that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     The Company’s principal office is located in 8,600 square feet at 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, NY (including 1,100 square feet effective April 1, 2007), which it leases from a partnership owned 24% by the Company’s Chairman. Future minimum rents payable under the terms of the leases, as amended, amount to $250,000, $264,000, $271,000, $75,000, $36,000 and $9,000 during the years 2007 through 2011, and through March 2012, respectively. In addition, one of the Company’s properties and a portion of a second are owned subject to ground leases which provide for annual payments, subject to

     On January 30, 2007, the Company acquired the Oakland Commons shopping center in Bristol, CT an approximately 90,000 sq. ft. supermarket-anchored shopping center, for a purchase price of approximately $12.5 million, including closing costs. The acquisition cost was funded from the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.
     On January 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.225 per share with respect to its common stock as well as an equal distribution per unit on its outstanding OP Units. At the same time, the Board approved a dividend of $0.554688 per share with respect to the Company’s 8-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms. In this regard, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee currently comprised of several of the Company’s 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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their certifications contained in the Company’s SEC filings. The Committee meets regularly and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more frequent basis. The Company’s principal executive and financial officers have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006, and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
     All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
     The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework”. Based on such assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
     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 during the last quarter of 2006.
     Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an opinion on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which appears elsewhere in this report.

1.   The following definition of “Affected Participants” is hereby added to Article II of the Plan:
Affected Participants . “Affected Participants” means Brenda J. Walker, Thomas B. Richey, Stuart H. Widowski and Ann Maneri.”
2.   The following definition of “Code Section 409A” is hereby added to Article II of the Plan:
Code Section 409A . “Code Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including any proposed or final regulations issued

 


 

thereunder, in each case, as amended and any successor thereto.”
3.   The definition of “Unforeseeable Financial Emergency” contained in Section 2.22 of the Plan is hereby amended by adding the following sentence to the end thereof:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, an “Unforeseeable Financial Emergency” shall not be deemed to exist with respect to an Affected Participant unless such “Unforeseeable Financial Emergency” would also constitute an “unforeseeable emergency” (as defined in Code Section 409A).”
4.   Section 4.2 of the Plan is hereby renumbered as Section 4.2(a), and the following sentence is hereby added to the end of Section 4.2(a) as follows:

10.   Section 7.1 of the Plan is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4, Plan Benefits shall be payable or commence being paid on the Distribution Date that relates to the Shares underlying the Plan Benefit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any election to receive a benefit in installments shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator, in its discretion; provided, that, in the event such an election is approved by the Administrator for an Affected Participant, the Affected Participant shall be

 


 

deemed to have elected to receive such installment payments as a “series of separate payments” for purposes of Code Section 409A. Subject to Section 7.5, if no election has been made at least 12 months prior to the Distribution Date for the Account, any benefit payable hereunder from the Account shall be paid in a single lump sum.”
11.   Section 7.2 of the Plan is hereby renumbered as Section 7.2(a), and the following sentence is hereby added to the end of Section 7.2(a) of the Plan as follows:

12.   The following new Section 7.2(b) is hereby added to the Plan as follows:
“Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a) or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Affected Participants only, in the event that the Administrator, upon written application of an Affected Participant, determines that the Affected Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency at any time, the Affected Participant may receive a distribution of up to 100% of his Account balance (without any forfeiture), but such distribution shall in no event exceed the amount necessary to alleviate such Unforeseeable Financial Emergency and it must be limited to the “amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need” (as determined under Code Section 409A). The Administrator shall direct the Trustee to make such distribution in a lump sum, as soon as practicable after the Administrator has made such determination, in the form of Shares or cash, as applicable pursuant to Section 5.4 (but treating the date of such distribution as a Distribution Date for purposes hereof). An Affected Participant’s Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, and the amount necessary to alleviate the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, must be demonstrated in the written application of the Affected Participant and in such other documentation as the Administrator shall reasonably require.”
13.   Section 7.4 of the Plan is hereby renumbered as Section 7.4(a), and the following sentence is hereby added to the end of Section 7.4(a) as follows:

 


 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, this Section 7.4(a) shall not apply to Affected Participants.”
14.   The following new Section 7.4(b) is hereby added to the Plan as follows:
“Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a) or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of an Affected Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Code Section 409A) from the Company (other than due to death) prior to age 60, the Affected Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the date of such separation from service (or, January 1, 2007, if later); provided, however, that if such Affected Participant would be considered a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A) as of the date of such separation from service, such payment shall not be made to the Affected Participant until the date that is six (6) months after the date of such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Affected Participant).”
15.   The following new Section 7.5 is hereby added to the Plan as follows:
“7.5 Affected Participant Special Elections . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, each of the Affected Participants shall be entitled to make a one-time special election (the “Special Election”), in writing on a form prescribed by the Administrator, to (i) defer commencement of the receipt of all or any part of the Plan Benefit that would otherwise have been payable to such Affected Participant on January 1, 2007 (determined as if the Affected Participant never made an election to defer the distribution of such amounts beyond such date) (the “2007 Amounts”), to the fifth (5th) anniversary of such Distribution Date (and in any such case the date to which distribution is so deferred shall be the new Distribution Date for such portion or all of the 2007 Amounts), and/or (ii) commence receiving a portion or all of his or her 2007 Amounts on January 1, 2007. In either case, the Affected Participant shall be entitled to elect to receive the 2007 Amounts in a single or partial lump sum or to receive the 2007 Amounts (or the balance of the 2007 Amounts if a partial lump sum has been elected) in quarterly installments over a period of not more than 20 years commencing either on January 1, 2007 or January 1, 2012, at the Affected Participant’s election (if the Affected

 


 

Participant elects to receive the 2007 Amounts in quarterly installments, the Affected Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive such 2007 Amounts as a “series of separate payments” for purposes of Code Section 409A). Each Affected Participant shall be entitled to make such a Special Election at any time on or prior to December 31, 2006, and if such a Special Election is properly made pursuant to this Section 7.5, any prior election made by such Affected Participant with respect to the 2007 Amounts shall immediately become null and void and superseded in its entirety. Any Special Election made under this Section 7.5 shall become irrevocable as of the date such Special Election is received by the Administrator. An Affected Participant may not make more than one Special Election under this Section 7.5. In the event an Affected Participant fails to properly make a Special Election pursuant to this Section 7.5, such Affected Participant shall be deemed to have elected to have his or her 2007 Amounts paid in a single lump sum on January 1, 2007, and any prior election made by such Affected Participant with respect to his or her 2007 Amounts shall immediately become null and void and superseded in its entirety. All references contained in this Section 7.5 to “January 1” of a calendar year shall mean the first business day in January of such calendar year.”
16.   This Amendment shall be effective as of December 21, 2006.
 
17.   Except to the extent hereinabove set forth, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board of Directors of the Company has caused this Amendment to be executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company this 21 st day of December, 2006.

               1.1     The Executive shall serve in an executive capacity as Director of Retail Leasing of both the Corporation and the Partnership with duties consistent therewith and shall perform such other functions and undertake such other responsibilities as are customarily associated with such capacity. The Executive shall also hold such directorships and officerships in the Corporation, the Partnership and any of their subsidiaries to which, from time to time, the Executive may be elected or appointed during the term of this Agreement.
               1.2     The Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time and skill to the business and affairs of the Corporation and the Partnership and to the promotion of their interests.

The Executive shall have the right, on written notice to the Corporation and the Partnership, to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 2.4), such termination to be effective as of the date on which notice is given or as of such later date otherwise specified in the notice; provided, however, the Executive’s right to terminate Executive’s employment shall lapse 60 days after the occurrence of any of the events specified in clauses (iii) or (iv) of the definition of Good Reason.
               2.3     For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean any of the following actions by the Executive: (a) failure to comply with any of the material terms of this Agreement, which shall not be cured within 10 days after written notice, or if the same is not of a nature that it can be completely cured within such 10 day period, if Executive shall have failed to commence to cure the same within such 10 day period and shall have failed to pursue the cure of the same diligently thereafter; (b) engagement in gross misconduct injurious to the business or reputation of the Corporation or the Partnership; (c) knowing and willful neglect or refusal to attend to the material duties assigned to the Executive by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, which shall not be cured within 10 days after written notice; (d) intentional misappropriation of property of the Corporation or the Partnership to the Executive’s own use; (e) the commission by the Executive of an act of fraud or embezzlement; (f) Executive’s conviction for a felony; (g) Executive’s engaging in any activity which is prohibited pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, which shall not be cured within 10 days after written notice.

Such base salary will be reviewed at least annually and may be increased (but not decreased) by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in its sole discretion. In addition to such amounts, Executive shall be entitled to such amounts as shall exceed Executive’s base salary, determined as of the end of the 6 th and 12 th month of Executive’s employment commencing as of the first day of the month following the commencement date of Executive’s employment pursuant to the matrix attached hereto as Exhibit A, which amounts shall be payable within thirty (30) days after such determination dates provided, however, that such payments under the matrix shall be limited to $180,000 as a matter of right to the Executive and thereafter shall be discretionary by the Corporation or Partnership, but in consultation with the Executive.

               3.3     The Partnership agrees to reimburse the Executive for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by the Executive on behalf of the Corporation or the Partnership in the course of Executive’s duties hereunder upon the presentation by the

               3.4     The Executive shall be entitled each year of this Agreement to a paid vacation in accordance with the Corporation’s or Partnership’s policies but not less than 4 weeks plus personal and floating holidays (and a ratable number of sick days), which if not taken during such year will be forfeited (unless management requests a postponement).
               3.5     In recognition of Executive’s need for an automobile for business purposes, the Corporation or the Partnership will reimburse the Executive for Executive’s use of an automobile, including lease payments, if any, and all related costs, including maintenance, gasoline and insurance; provided, however, that such amount shall not exceed $500.00 a month. Insurance, maintenance and gas for business use is additional.
               3.6     If, during the period of employment hereunder, because of illness or other incapacity, the Executive shall fail for a period of 90 consecutive days, or for shorter periods aggregating more than six months during the term of this Agreement, to render the services contemplated hereunder, then the Corporation or the Partnership, at either of their options, may terminate the term of employment hereunder by notice from the Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be, to the Executive, effective on the giving of such notice.

               3.8     Each of the Corporation and the Partnership shall have the right to obtain for their respective benefits an appropriate life insurance policy on the life of the Executive, naming the Corporation or the Partnership as the beneficiary. If requested by the Corporation or the Partnership, the Executive agrees to cooperate with the Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be, in obtaining such policy.
     4.      Severance Compensation Upon Termination of Employment .
               4.1     If the Executive’s employment with the Corporation or the Partnership shall be terminated (a) by the Corporation or Partnership other than for Cause or pursuant to Sections 3.6 or 3.7, or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason, then the Corporation and the Partnership shall:
                    (i)     pay to the Executive as severance pay, within five days after termination, a lump sum payment equal to 50% of the sum of the Executive’s annual salary at the rate applicable on the date of termination and the average of the Executive’s annual bonus for the preceding two full fiscal years if such termination takes place during the first 12 months of the Executive’s employment; 100% if during the second 12 months of employment, and 150% thereafter; provided, however, that if the severance payment under this Section 4.1, either alone or together with other payments which the Executive has the right to receive from the Corporation would not be deductible (in whole or in part) by the Corporation as a result of such payment constituting a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), such severance payment shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of the severance payment under this Section 4.1 not being fully deductible by the Corporation as a result of Section 280G of

3


 

the Code. The determination of any reduction in the severance payment under this Section 4.1 pursuant to the foregoing proviso shall be made exclusively by the Corporation’s independent accountants (whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Corporation), and such determination shall be conclusive and binding;
               (ii)     arrange to provide Executive, for a 12 month period (or such shorter period as Executive may elect), with disability, accident and health insurance substantially similar to those insurance benefits which Executive is receiving immediately prior to the earlier of a Change in Control, if any, or the date of termination to the extent obtainable upon reasonable terms; provided, however, if it is not so obtainable the Corporation shall pay to the Executive in cash the annual amount paid by the Corporation or the Partnership for such benefits during the previous year of the Executive’s employment. Benefits otherwise receivable by Executive pursuant to this Section 4.1(ii) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by the Executive during such 12 month period following his termination (or such shorter period elected by the Executive), and any such benefits actually received by Executive shall be reported by the Executive to the Corporation; and
               (iii)     any options granted to Executive to acquire common stock of the Corporation which have not vested shall immediately vest on such termination.
           4.2     (a)     The Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor, except to the extent provided in Section 4.1 above, shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer or by insurance benefits after the date of termination, or otherwise.
(b)     The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive’s existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any benefit plan of the Corporation or Partnership, or other contract, plan or arrangement.
     5.      Other Activities During Employment .
               5.1     The Executive shall not during the term of this Agreement undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Executive may engage in reasonable activities with respect to personal investments of the Executive.
               5.2     During the term of this Agreement, without the prior approval of the Board of Directors, neither the Executive nor any entity in which he may be interested as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, shareholder, option holder, lender of money or guarantor, shall be engaged directly or indirectly in any real estate development, leasing, marketing or management activities other than through the Corporation and the Partnership, except for activities existing on the date of this Agreement which have been disclosed to the Corporation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to (a) prohibit the Executive from being on the Board of Directors of another entity if approved in writing by the Compensation Committee of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) prevent the Executive from investing in securities if such class of securities in which the

4


 

investment is so made is listed on a national securities exchange or is issued by a company registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, so long as such investment holdings do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than 1% of the voting stock of any company’s securities or (c) prohibit passive investments, subject to any limitations contained in subparagraph (b) above.
               5.3     The Executive shall not at any time during this Agreement or after the termination hereof directly or indirectly divulge, furnish, use, publish or make accessible to any person or entity any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined), except pursuant to subpoena, court order or applicable law. Any records of Confidential Information prepared by the Executive or which come into Executive’s possession during this Agreement are and remain the property of the Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be, and upon termination of Executive’s employment all such records and copies thereof shall be either left with or returned to the Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be.
               5.4     The term “Confidential Information” shall mean information disclosed to the Executive or known, learned, created or observed by Executive as a consequence of or through employment by the Corporation and the Partnership, not generally known in or otherwise available to the relevant trade or industry, about the Corporation’s or the Partnership’s business activities, services and processes, including but not limited to information concerning advertising, sales promotion, publicity, sales data, research, copy, leasing, other printed matter, artwork, photographs, reproductions, layout, finances, accounting, methods, processes, business plans, contractors, lessee and supplier lists and records, potential lessee and supplier lists, and contractor, lessee or supplier billing.
     6.      Post-Employment Activities .
               6.1     During the term of employment hereunder, and for a period of one year after termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such termination other than by the Corporation or Partnership without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly become employed by, act as a consultant to, or otherwise render any services to any person, corporation, partnership or other entity which is engaged in, or about to become engaged in, the retail shopping center business or any other business which is competitive with the business of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries nor shall Executive use Executive’s talents to make any such business competitive with the business of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries. For the purpose of this Section, a retail shopping center business or other business shall be deemed to be competitive if it involves the ownership, operation, leasing or management of any retail shopping centers which draw from the same related trade area, which is deemed to be within a radius of five miles from the location of (a) any then existing shopping centers of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries or (b) any proposed centers for which the site is owned or under contract, is under construction or is actively being negotiated. The Executive shall be deemed to be directly or indirectly engaged in a business if Executive participates therein as a director, officer, stockholder, employee, agent, consultant, manager, salesman, partner or individual proprietor, or as an investor who has made advances or loans, contributions to capital or expenditures for the purchase of stock, or in any capacity or manner whatsoever; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent the Executive from investing in securities if such class of securities in which the investment is so made is listed on a national securities exchange or is issued by a company registered under Section 12(g) of the

5


 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, so long as such investment holdings do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than 1% of the voting stock of any company’s securities.
               6.2     The Executive acknowledges that Executive has been employed for Executive’s special talents and that Executive’s leaving the employ of the Corporation and the Partnership would seriously hamper the business of the Corporation and the Partnership. The Executive agrees that the Corporation and the Partnership shall each be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to all remedies permitted by law, to enforce the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 hereof. The Executive further acknowledges that Executive’s training, experience and technical skills are of such breadth that they can be employed to advantage in other areas which are not competitive with the present business of the Corporation and the Partnership and consequently the foregoing obligation will not unreasonably impair Executive’s ability to engage in business activity after the termination of Executive’s present employment.
               6.3     The Executive will not, during the period of one year after termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such termination, hire or offer to hire or entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade, either in Executive’s individual capacity or as agent for another, any of the Corporation’s, the Partnership’s or any of their subsidiaries’ officers, employees or agents to discontinue their relationship with the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries nor divert or attempt to divert from the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries any business whatsoever by influencing or attempting to influence any contractor, lessee or supplier of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries.
          7.      Assignment . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Corporation, the Partnership and their successors and assigns, and upon the Executive and Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporation and the Partnership will require any successor or assign to all or substantially all of their business or assets to assume and perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation and the Partnership would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

judgments, fine, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with any claim, action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal) against the Executive as a result of the Executive serving as an officer or director of the Corporation or the Partnership, in or with regard to any other entity, employee benefit plan or enterprise (other than arising out of the Executive’s act of willful misconduct, gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, fraud or breach of this Agreement). This indemnification shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnification the Executive shall be entitled to pursuant to the Corporation’s or Partnership’s Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Agreement of Limited Partnership or otherwise. Following the Executive’s termination of employment, the Corporation and the Partnership shall continue to cover the Executive under the then existing director’s and officer’s insurance, if any, for the period during which the Executive may be subject to potential liability for any claim, action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal) as a result of his service as an officer or director of the Corporation or the Partnership or in any capacity at the request of the Corporation or the Partnership, in or with regard to any other entity, employee benefit plan or enterprise on the same terms such coverage was provided during this Agreement, at the highest level then maintained for any then current or former officer or director.
