PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Overview
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls and power and strip centers located in the eastern United States. We own a retail real estate portfolio that currently consists of 50 properties in 12 states and includes 37 shopping malls (including Cumberland Mall that was acquired in February 2005) and 13 power and strip centers. These retail properties have a total of approximately 33.1 million square feet, of which we and partnerships in which we own an interest own approximately 25.5 million square feet. Our portfolio also currently includes four industrial properties. We are a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered REIT that has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are required each year to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our net taxable income and meet certain other requirements in order to maintain the favorable tax treatment associated with qualifying as a REIT.
Ownership Structure
We hold our interests in our portfolio of properties through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. We are the sole general partner of PREIT Associates and, as of December 31, 2004, held an 89.15% controlling interest in PREIT Associates. We consolidate PREIT Associates for financial reporting purposes.
We provide our management, leasing and development services through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”) and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PREIT-RUBIN” or PRI). PREIT Services develops and manages our wholly-owned properties. PREIT-RUBIN is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means it is able to offer an expanded menu of services to tenants without jeopardizing our continued qualification as a real estate investment trust. PREIT- RUBIN develops and manages properties in which we own interests through partnerships with third parties, as well as properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest.

The following is a diagram of our structure as of December 31, 2004:
(1) Sole general partner and a limited partner of PREIT Associates.
(2) We own our interests in these 53 properties through various ownership structures. We own interests in some of these properties directly and have pledged the entire economic benefit of ownership to PREIT Associates. PREIT Associates' direct or indirect economic interest in the rest of the 53 properties ranges from 40% to 100%.
Retail Real Estate Industry
The retail real estate industry generally classifies properties based on their size and on the way they are marketed. Property types are generally classified as follows: community centers, with 100,000 to 350,000 square feet of space, often including a supermarket; lifestyle, festival or other strip centers, with 80,000 to 500,000 square feet of specialty stores and leisure, dining and entertainment locations; power centers, with 250,000 to 800,000 square feet or more of mostly category-leading tenants; regional malls that have more than 400,000 square feet of space; and super-regional malls, which have more than 800,000 square feet of space. We refer to both regional malls and super regional malls as “malls.” These enclosed, climate-controlled malls typically offer apparel and accessories and hard goods, as well as services, restaurants, entertainment and convenient parking. Malls are often tailored to the economy and demographics of their trade areas, and mall managers employ corresponding strategies in determining the mix of tenants, the merchandise offered and the related general price point. Usually, there are two or more department stores or large format retail stores in regional malls that serve as anchor tenants, or “anchors.” Super regional malls often have three or more anchor tenants. The anchors serve as one of the main draws to the mall, and are usually situated at the ends of the rows of smaller “in-line” stores. These in-line stores are frequently a mix of national and regional retailers, and they typically generate a majority of the revenues of a mall.

In the REIT industry, a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability is funds from operations ("FFO"). The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO, which is a non-GAAP measure, as income before gains (losses) on sales of properties and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate depreciation; plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We use FFO as a supplemental non-GAAP measure to compare our company’s performance to that of our industry peers. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company.
PREIT’s Business
We are primarily engaged in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment, acquisition and leasing of malls and power and strip centers. Many of our malls and centers are located in middle markets in the Mid-Atlantic region or in the eastern part of the United States.
We own a retail real estate portfolio that currently consists of 50 properties in 12 states and includes 37 shopping malls (including Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey that was acquired in February 2005) and 13 power and strip centers. These retail properties have a total of approximately 33.1 million square feet, of which we and partnerships in which we own an interest own approximately 25.5 million square feet. Our portfolio also currently includes four industrial properties. See “Item 2. Properties” for a complete list of our properties.
The largest mall in our portfolio is approximately 1.3 million square feet, and the smallest is approximately 400,000 total square feet, excluding the two individual components of The Gallery at Market East in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The power centers in our portfolio range from 300,000 to 780,000 square feet, while the strip centers range from 100,000 square feet to 275,000 square feet.
We derive the substantial majority of our revenues from rents received under leases with tenants for space at properties in our retail real estate portfolio. In general, our leases require tenants to pay base rent, which is a fixed amount specified in the lease, and which is often subject to scheduled increases during the term of the lease. In addition or in the alternative, certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent, which can be either a percentage of their sales volume that exceeds certain levels specified in their lease agreements, or a percentage of their total sales. Also, our leases generally provide that the tenant will reimburse us for certain expenses for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and other operating expenses incurred in the operation of the retail properties. The expenses for which tenants are responsible are generally related to the tenant’s pro rata share of space at the property.
Strategy
Our primary objective is to maximize the long term value of the Company for our shareholders. To that end, our business goals are to maximize our rental income, tenant sales and occupancy at our properties in order to maximize our cash flows, FFO, funds available for distribution to shareholders, and other operating measures and results, and ultimately to maximize the values of our properties. To achieve these goals, our strategies are to:
| Unlock the value in underperforming properties in our portfolio by redeveloping them. If we believe that a property is not achieving its full potential, we engage in a focused leasing effort in order to increase the property’s performance. If we believe the property has the potential to support a more significant redevelopment project, we consider a formal redevelopment plan. Our redevelopment efforts are designed to increase customer traffic and attract retailers, which can, in turn, lead to increases in sales, occupancy levels and rental rates. Our efforts to maximize a property’s potential can also serve to maintain or improve an individual property’s competitive position. | |
| Acquire, in an opportunistic and disciplined manner, additional properties or portfolios of properties that meet the investment criteria we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances. We seek to selectively acquire properties that are well-located and that we believe have strong potential for increased cash flows and appreciation in value if we apply our skills in leasing, asset management and redevelopment to the property. | |
| Pursue ground up development of additional retail and other properties that we expect can meet the financial hurdles we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances. We seek to leverage our skill sets in site selection, entitlement and planning, cost estimation and project management to develop new retail properties in trade areas that we believe have sufficient demand for such properties to generate cash flows that meet the financial thresholds we establish in the given environment. |
4
| Actively manage and aggressively lease and market the retail properties in our portfolio. We conduct intense asset management of our properties in an effort to maximize and maintain occupancy and optimize the mix of tenants and thereby attract customers and increase sales by mall tenants. Such sales gains can increase tenant satisfaction and make our properties attractive to our tenants and prospective tenants, which can increase the rents at our properties. | |
| Regularly review our portfolio of properties and, if appropriate, dispose of properties that we do not believe meet the financial or strategic criteria we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances. Disposing of such properties can enable us to redeploy our capital to other uses, such as to repay debt, to reinvest in other real estate assets and development projects and for other corporate purposes. |
Redevelopment
One of our key strategies is to unlock the value in underperforming properties in our portfolio by redeveloping them in order to attract more customers and retailers, leading to increases in occupancy and rental rates. We believe that several properties in our portfolio, including some of the properties acquired in our November 2003 merger with Crown American Realty Trust and some of the properties acquired in 2003 from The Rouse Company, present opportunities for creating value through focused leasing or redevelopment.
The tactics we use in our efforts to unlock the potential value that we believe exists in underperforming properties include:
| remerchandising the tenant mix to capitalize on the economy and demographics of the property’s trade area; | |
| creating a diversified anchor mix including fashion, value-oriented and traditional department stores; | |
| attracting non-traditional retailers to draw more customers to the property; | |
| generating synergy by introducing lifestyle components to mall properties; and | |
| redirecting traffic flow and creating additional space for in-line stores by relocating food courts. |
In 2004, The Mall at Prince Georges (formerly Prince Georges Plaza) in Hyattsville, Maryland and Dartmouth Mall in Dartmouth, Massachusetts reached the final stages of previously-begun redevelopment plans. Also, during the year, we subjected each of our properties to a rigorous assessment of its merchandising potential, which has included an analysis of the property’s trade area and its existing tenants and merchandise offerings. In connection with that review, we announced redevelopment plans for Capital City Mall in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, Echelon Mall in Voorhees, New Jersey, New River Valley Mall in Christiansburg, Virginia, and Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News, Virginia.
Redevelopments are frequently a significant undertaking, involving many of the same steps and requiring many of the same skills as new construction or new development. These steps and skills might include architectural design, engineering planning, acquisition of adjacent land or properties, obtaining zoning and other approvals and permits, interior design, addressing requirements for additional parking lots or decks, obtaining existing anchor approvals and relocating anchors and other mall tenants. The redevelopment of a particular property might involve construction of new interior space, renovation of existing interior space, updating interior décor and lighting, installing new floor coverings, changing or replacing facades, adding or relocating entrances, incorporating updated and consistent signage, resurfacing parking lots and improving exterior lighting, and renaming the property. While we make every effort to keep the length of the redevelopment projects to a minimum, in general, because of the numerous variables, including the process of obtaining necessary approvals and permits, the time needed to complete redevelopment projects is unpredictable.
A very important aspect of a redevelopment project is the effect of the project on the rest of the property and on the tenants and customers during the time that the redevelopment is taking place. While we might undertake a redevelopment in an effort to maximize the long term performance of the property, in the short term, the operations and performance of the property will be affected. We might seek to relocate anchors and in-line stores, temporarily or permanently, which can affect tenant sales and rental rates. Also, some portion of the space in the mall will be unavailable during the redevelopment, and some space can only be made available for short periods of time because it is slated for renovation or because the space is part of the remerchandising of the mall and it cannot be subject to a long term lease until the redevelopment is complete. We manage the use of this space throughout the course of a redevelopment project through our specialty leasing function, with the goal of maximizing the rent we receive during the period of active redevelopment.
5
Acquisitions
We continue to seek to acquire well-located retail properties with strong prospects for future cash flow growth and capital appreciation, particularly where we believe our management and leasing capabilities can enhance the value of these properties. In May 2004, we acquired The Gallery at Market East II in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with 334,000 square feet of space, for $32.4 million. The purchase price was funded from our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The property is adjacent to The Gallery at Market East I, which we acquired in 2003. When combined with The Gallery at Market East I, we own 528,000 square feet of the total 1.1 million square feet in The Gallery at Market East. In May 2004, we exercised our option to acquire the remaining 27% ownership interest in New Castle Associates, owner of Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, for 609,317 units of our operating partnership. In December 2004, we acquired Orlando Fashion Square in Orlando, Florida, a 1.1 million square foot mall, for $123.5 million. We financed this acquisition using our Credit Facility. In October 2004, we announced an agreement to acquire Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey, a 925,000 square foot mall, for approximately $59.5 million. PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. has managed and leased Cumberland Mall since 1997. This acquisition, which included acquisition of an undeveloped 1.7 acre parcel adjacent to the mall, was completed in February 2005 for approximately $0.9 million of cash, the assumption of approximately $47.7 million in mortgage debt and approximately $11.0 million in units of our operating partnership.
When evaluating acquisitions, we conduct a detailed analysis of the geographic market and the demographic characteristics of the area surrounding the property, the property itself and other factors. If a property substantially meets the investment criteria we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances, we will pursue it further, and we believe we are well positioned to compete for it. We believe we have positive working relationships with many industry participants, including prospective sellers, buyers and financing sources that enable us to become aware of opportunities and to act quickly. We expect to fund property or portfolio acquisitions and expenses associated with acquisitions through long term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including our Credit Facility, and the issuance of additional equity securities, including under our $500 million universal shelf registration statement. See “Management’s Discussion and AnalysisLiquidity and Capital Resources.”
Development
We pursue ground up development of additional retail and other properties that we believe meet the financial hurdles we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances. We generally seek to develop these projects in areas that we believe have a retail void and have desirable population or income trends, and where we believe the projects will have the potential for strong competitive positions. We generally have several development projects under way at a time, all at various stages in the process. We manage all aspects of these development projects, including market and trade area research, site selection, acquisition, preliminary development work, construction and leasing. We monitor our development projects closely, including costs and tenant interest.
In 2004, we continued our development work on projects in Lacey Township, New Jersey; New Garden, Pennsylvania; and Gainesville, Florida. Our total investment in these projects through December 31, 2004 was $6.6 million. Also, in an effort to take advantage of the opening of a new market for gaming in Pennsylvania, we entered into an agreement in 2004 to manage the development of a proposed harness racetrack and casino on an approximately 218 acre site located 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, subject to the issuance of the required racing and gaming licenses. Also as part of one of our initiatives to develop properties near properties already in our portfolio, we acquired a 25 acre parcel of land in Florence, South Carolina in 2004. The purchase price for the parcel was $3.8 million in cash, including related closing costs. The parcel is situated across the street from Magnolia Mall and The Commons at Magnolia, both of which are properties we own. With respect to Christiana Power Center II in Christiana, Delaware, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Although we have previously developed properties that have proved successful, we cannot assure you that any of our current projects will be as successful as any of these previously developed properties, or that they will be successful at all, which could have a negative effect on our operating results. We also cannot assure you that any projects that we begin will ultimately be completed. If we determine not to proceed with a project or otherwise become required to write off development costs, there will be a negative effect on our results of operations.

Asset Management, Leasing and Marketing
We conduct intense asset management of our properties in an effort to maximize and maintain occupancy and optimize the mix of tenants and thereby attract customers and increase sales by mall tenants. We engage in active merchandising programs and coordinated marketing activities designed to promote our properties as magnet centers. Our on-site teams continuously monitor the local market and community, and work with our home office asset management, leasing and marketing professionals to evaluate and adjust the tenant mix in pursuit of the optimal match of tenants to the trade area and the ideal configuration and allocation of space. As part of these efforts, if appropriate, we might relocate tenants to better-suited space or terminate the leases of underperforming tenants. As an integral part of our management, we also expend considerable effort on controlling operating costs and expenses.
In addition to owning, managing and developing our own properties, as of December 31, 2004, we also provided management, leasing and development services to affiliated and third-party property owners with respect to 11 retail properties containing approximately 2.6 million square feet and three office buildings containing approximately 0.8 million square feet.
Dispositions
We periodically conduct portfolio property reviews and, if appropriate, we make determinations to dispose of properties that we do not believe meet the financial and strategic criteria we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances. Disposing of such properties can enable us to redeploy our capital to other uses, such as to repay debt, to reinvest in other real estate assets and development projects and for other corporate purposes.
In August 2004, we sold our 60% non-controlling ownership interest in Rio Grande Mall, a 166,000 square foot strip center in Rio Grande, New Jersey, to an affiliate of our partner in this property for net proceeds of $4.1 million.
In September 2004, we sold five of the six properties acquired in connection with our merger with Crown American Realty Trust that were considered to be non-strategic properties for an aggregate sale price of $110.7 million. The five malls were: Bradley Square Mall in Cleveland, Tennessee; Martinsburg Mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia; Mount Berry Square Mall in Rome, Georgia; Shenango Valley Mall in Sharon, Pennsylvania; and West Manchester Mall in York, Pennsylvania. The net proceeds from the sale were approximately $108.5 million after closing costs and adjustments. We used the proceeds from this sale primarily to repay amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility. The sixth non-core property, Schuylkill Mall, remained designated as held for sale at December 31, 2004.
2003 Strategic Transformation
In 2003, we transformed our strategic focus to the retail sector by changing our portfolio of properties from 22 retail properties and 19 multifamily properties as of December 31, 2002 to 54 retail properties as of December 31, 2003. We accomplished this strategic transformation to the retail sector by completing the following transactions in 2003:
| merged with Crown American Realty Trust, which owned 26 shopping malls and a 50% interest in Palmer Park Mall in Easton, Pennsylvania through a pre-existing partnership with us; | |
| acquired six shopping malls in the Philadelphia area from The Rouse Company; | |
| acquired our partner's 70% share in Willow Grove Park, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania; | |
| acquired a 6.08 acre parcel adjacent to Plymouth Meeting Mall, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania; | |
| disposed of our 19 property multifamily portfolio; | |
| issued 6,325,000 common shares through a public offering; | |
| established a $500 million unsecured revolving Credit Facility; and | |
| completed mortgage financing transactions on Dartmouth Mall, Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and Moorestown Mall, Moorestown, New Jersey. |
7
Competition
Competition in the retail real estate industry is very intense. We compete with other public and private retail real estate companies, including companies that own or manage malls, power centers, lifestyle centers, strip centers, factory outlet centers, festival centers and community centers, as well as other commercial real estate developers and real estate owners. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor and in-line store tenants. Our malls and our power and strip centers face competition from similar retail centers that might be near our retail properties. We also face competition from a variety of different retail formats, including discount or value retailers, home shopping networks, mail order operators, catalogs, telemarketers and internet retailers. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the level of rent that we receive. Increased competition for tenants might also require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make. Any unbudgeted capital improvements could adversely affect our results of operations.
We also compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of malls and other retail properties, including institutional pension funds, other REITs and other owner-operators of retail properties. These competitors might drive up the price we must pay for properties, other assets or other companies we seek to acquire or might themselves succeed in acquiring those properties, assets or companies. If we pay higher prices for properties, our investment returns will be reduced, which will adversely affect the value of our securities.
Environmental
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner, former owner or operator of real estate might be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances present at, on, under, in or released from its property, regardless of whether the owner, operator or other responsible party knew of or was at fault for the release or presence of hazardous substances. They also might be liable to the government or to third parties for substantial property damage, investigation costs or clean up costs. Even if more than one person might have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws might be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the contamination. Contamination might adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or lease real estate or borrow with real estate as collateral. In connection with our ownership, operation, management, development and redevelopment of properties, or any other properties we acquire in the future, we might be potentially liable under these laws and might incur costs in responding to these liabilities.
From time to time, we respond to inquiries from environmental authorities with respect to properties both currently and formerly owned by us. We are aware of certain environmental matters at some of our properties, including soil and ground water contamination and the presence of asbestos containing materials and underground and above ground storage tanks. We have, in the past, performed remediation of such environmental matters, but we might be required in the future to perform testing relating to these matters and further remediation might be required. As of December 31, 2004, we have reserved $0.2 million for future remediation of these matters, but we might incur costs associated with such remediation that exceed such amount.
At five of the properties in which we currently have an interest, and at two properties in which we formerly had an interest, environmental conditions have been or continue to be investigated and have not been fully remediated. Groundwater contamination has been found at five of these properties. While the former owners of two of the properties with groundwater contamination presently are remediating such contamination, any failure of such former owners to properly remediate such contamination could result in liability to us for such contamination. Dry cleaning operations were performed at three of the properties. Soil contamination has been identified at two of the properties having dry cleaning operations and groundwater contamination was found at the third property having dry cleaning operations. Although these properties might be eligible under state law for remediation with state funds, we cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available under state legislation to pay the full costs of any such remediation, and we might incur costs in connection with such remediation.
Asbestos-containing materials are present in a number of our properties, primarily in the form of floor tiles and adhesives. Fire-proofing material containing asbestos is present at some of our properties in limited concentrations or in limited areas. We have taken certain actions to remediate or to comply with disclosure requirements, as necessary or appropriate, in connection with the foregoing, but we might be required to take additional actions or to make additional expenditures.
8
We are aware of environmental concerns at Christiana Power Center Phase II, one of our development properties. The final costs and necessary remediation are not known and might cause us to decide not to develop the property, which would result in us having incurred unnecessary development costs and could have an adverse effect on our operating results. We also are a party to a number of agreements for the purchase of property for development in which initial environmental investigations have revealed environmental risk factors that might require remediation by the owner or prior owners of the property. Such environmental risks might cause us to decide not to purchase such properties, which would result in us having incurred unnecessary development expenses and could adversely affect our results of operations.
In addition, the malls that we acquired in 2003 as part of our merger with Crown American Realty Trust have some environmental issues. Many of these malls contain, or at one time contained, underground and/or above ground storage tanks used to store waste oils or other petroleum products primarily related to the operation of automobile service center establishments at those malls. In some cases, the underground storage tanks have been abandoned in place, filled in with inert materials or removed and replaced with above ground tanks. Historical records indicate that soil and groundwater contamination from underground tanks and, in one case, a hydraulic lift, required remediation has occurred at five of the malls, and subsurface investigations (Phase II assessments) and remediation work either are ongoing or are scheduled to be conducted at three of those malls. In addition, three of the Crown malls were constructed on sites a portion of which previously had been used as landfills, two were constructed on former strip mines and two formerly had dry cleaning operations on them. There also are minor amounts of asbestos-containing materials in most of the Crown malls, primarily in the form of floor tiles, mastics and roofing materials. Fireproofing and insulation containing asbestos also are present in some of the malls in non-public areas, such as mechanical rooms. Two of the Crown malls also contain wastewater treatment facilities that treat wastewater at the malls before discharge into local streams. Operation of these facilities is subject to federal and state regulation.
Our environmental liability coverage for the types of environmental liabilities described above, which currently covers liability for pollution and on-site remediation of up to $5 million in any single claim and $5 million in the aggregate, might be inadequate, which could result in our being obligated to fund those liabilities. We might be unable to continue to obtain insurance for environmental matters, at a reasonable cost or at all, in the future.
In addition to the costs of remediation described above, we might incur additional costs to comply with federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety generally. We cannot assure you that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or that the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by the operations of our tenants, by the existing condition of the land, by operations in the vicinity of the properties (such as the presence of underground storage tanks) or by the activities of unrelated third parties. In addition, there are various federal, state and local fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations that might be applicable to our operations and that might subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance.
Employees
We had an aggregate of approximately 1,586 employees at our properties and in our corporate office as of December 31, 2004. None of our employees are represented by a labor union.
Insurance
We have comprehensive liability, fire, flood, terrorism, extended coverage and rental loss insurance that we believe is adequate and consistent with the level of coverage that is standard in our industry. We cannot assure you, however, that our insurance coverage will be adequate to protect against a loss of our invested capital or anticipated profits, or that we will be able to obtain adequate coverage at a reasonable cost in the future.
Status as a REIT
We conduct our operations in a manner intended to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Generally, as a REIT, we will not be subject to federal or state income taxes on our net taxable income that we currently distribute to our shareholders. Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend on our ability to meet various qualification tests (including dividend distribution, asset ownership and income tests) and certain share ownership requirements prescribed in the Code.

Corporate Headquarters
Our principal executive offices are located at The Bellevue, 200 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102.
Seasonality
There is seasonality in the retail real estate industry. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of rents based on a percentage of sales over certain levels. Income from such rents is recorded only after the minimum sales levels have been met. The sales levels are often met in the fourth quarter, during the December holiday season. Also, many new and temporary leases are entered into later in the year in anticipation of the holiday season and many tenants vacate their space early in the year. As a result, our occupancy and cash flow are generally higher in the fourth quarter and lower in the first quarter, excluding the effect of ongoing redevelopment projects. Our concentration in the retail sector increases our exposure to seasonality and is expected to result in a greater percentage of our cash flows being received in the fourth quarter.

RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OUR PROPERTIES
Our retail properties are concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and adverse market conditions in that region might affect the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and to renew leases, which might reduce the amount of income generated by our properties.
Our retail properties currently are concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. To the extent adverse conditions affecting retail properties, such as economic conditions, population trends and changing demographics, income, sales and property tax laws, availability and costs of financing, construction costs and weather conditions that might increase energy costs, are particularly adverse in Pennsylvania or in the Mid-Atlantic region, our results of operations will be more notably affected. If the sales of stores operating at our properties were to decline significantly due to adverse conditions, the risk that our tenants, including anchors, will be unable to fulfill the terms of their leases or will enter into bankruptcy might increase. Furthermore, such adverse conditions might affect the timing of lease commitments by new tenants or lease renewals by existing tenants as such parties delay or defer their leasing decisions in order to obtain the most current information possible about trends in their businesses or industries. If, as a result of such tenant difficulties, our properties do not generate sufficient income to meet our operating and other expenses, including debt service, our financial position, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make capital expenditures and distributions to shareholders would be adversely affected.
We are subject to risks that affect the retail real estate environment generally.
Our business and our properties are subject to certain risks that can affect the ability of our retail properties to generate sufficient revenues to meet operating and other expenses, including debt service, to make capital expenditures and to make distributions to our shareholders. Changes in a number of factors can decrease the income generated by a retail property, including a downturn in the regional or local economy, which could result from plant closings, local industry slowdowns, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other factors; a weakening of local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the availability and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants; changes in perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the retail property; and perceived changes in the convenience and quality of competing retail properties and other retailing options such as internet retailers. Income from retail properties and retail property values are also affected by applicable laws and regulations, including tax and zoning laws, and by interest rate levels and the availability and cost of financing, among other factors. Changes in one or more of these factors can lead to a decrease in the revenues generated by our properties and can have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We have substantial debt, which might increase, as well as obligations to pay dividends on our preferred shares, and we require significant cash flows to satisfy these obligations. If we are unable to satisfy those obligations, we might be forced to dispose of one or more properties and there could be other negative consequences.
We use a substantial amount of debt to finance our business, and we might incur additional debt under our Credit Facility or otherwise in order to finance acquisitions, to develop or redevelop properties or for other general corporate purposes. If our leverage increases, our debt service costs and our risk of defaulting on our indebtedness might increase. We are also obligated to pay a quarterly dividend of $1.375 per share to the holders of the 2,475,000 11% preferred shares that we issued in connection with our merger with Crown American Realty Trust. If we do not have sufficient cash flow from operations, we might not be able to make all required payments of principal and interest on our debt or to pay distributions on our securities at historical rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increases in interest rates on our existing indebtedness, which includes $271.0 million of variable rate debt as of December 31, 2004, would increase our interest expense, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Our substantial obligations arising from our indebtedness and the dividends payable on our preferred shares could have negative consequences to our shareholders, including:
| requiring us to use a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest and principal payments on our debt and dividend payments on our preferred shares rather than for other purposes such as working capital, capital expenditures or dividends on our common shares; |
11
| harming our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development and redevelopment activities or other general corporate purposes; | |
| limiting our flexibility to plan for or react to changes in business and economic conditions; and | |
| making us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy generally. |
Much of our indebtedness does not require significant principal payments prior to maturity. If our debt cannot be paid, refinanced or extended at maturity on acceptable terms, or at all, we might be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties on unfavorable terms, which might result in losses to us and which might adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Much of our outstanding indebtedness represents obligations of our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P., and entities that we own or control that hold title to our properties. We have mortgaged many of our properties to secure payment of this indebtedness. If we were unable to make the required payments on this indebtedness, a lender could foreclose upon the mortgaged property and receive an assignment of rents and leases or pursue other remedies.
Our investments in development and redevelopment properties might not yield the returns we anticipate, which would harm our operating results and reduce the amount of funds available for distributions to shareholders.
As a component of our growth strategy, we plan to continue to develop new properties and redevelop existing properties, and we might develop other projects as opportunities arise. To the extent we continue current development or redevelopment projects or enter into new development or redevelopment projects, they will be subject to a number of risks, including, among others:
| inability to obtain or delays in obtaining required zoning, occupancy and other governmental approvals; | |
| expenditure of money and time on projects that might be significantly delayed or might never be completed; | |
| inability to reach projected occupancy and rental rates; | |
| inability to obtain mortgage lender or anchor or other property partner approvals, if applicable, for redevelopments; | |
| higher than estimated construction costs; cost overruns and timing delays due to lack of availability of materials and labor, weather conditions and other factors outside our control; and | |
| inability to obtain permanent financing upon completion of development or redevelopment activities or to refinance construction loans, which are generally recourse to us. |
Unanticipated delays or expenses associated with our development or redevelopment properties could adversely affect the investment returns from these projects and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The covenants in our Credit Facility might restrict our operations or acquisition activities, which might harm our ability to pursue new business initiatives and have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our Credit Facility currently requires our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P., to satisfy numerous financial covenants. These covenants could reduce our flexibility in conducting our operations by limiting our ability to borrow money and, if we cannot continue to satisfy these covenants, there is a risk of default under the Credit Facility. If we default under the Credit Facility, the lenders could require us to repay the debt immediately, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We might be unable to manage effectively our rapid growth and expansion in the retail sector, which might result in disruptions to our business and additional expense.
12
We have recently experienced rapid growth and we continue to pursue, in an opportunistic and disciplined manner, acquisitions of additional properties or portfolios of properties that meet the investment criteria we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances. We might not be able to adapt our management and operational systems to our new, larger size and our increased number of retail properties. In 2003, we completed the acquisition of 26 retail properties through our merger with Crown American Realty Trust and the acquisition of six shopping malls from The Rouse Company. The Crown merger has required the integration of two large and complex real estate businesses that formerly operated independently. Following the merger and the acquisition of the six malls, the gross leasable area of our owned, managed or leased retail properties is significantly higher than it was before those transactions. In 2004, we acquired two additional properties and the remaining minority portion of one property already in our portfolio, and we acquired one additional property in February 2005.
The integration efforts required in connection with these recent acquisitions and any we may complete in the future, together with our continuing efforts to transform our strategic focus to ownership of retail properties, are substantial and might cause disruptions in our operations. These efforts might divert management’s attention away from day-to-day operations, which could cause us to lose or to be delayed in pursuing business opportunities or activities or could impair our relationships with our current tenants and employees. Also, we could incur unanticipated expenses in connection with these integration activities. Specific risks for our ongoing operations posed by acquisitions we have completed or that we might complete in the future include:
| we might not achieve the expected operating efficiencies, value-creation potential, economies of scale or other benefits of those transactions; | |
| we might not have adequate personnel and financial and other resources to successfully handle our substantially increased operations; | |
| we might not be successful in leasing space in acquired properties; | |
| the combined portfolio might not perform at the level we anticipate; | |
| we might experience difficulties and incur unforeseen expenses in connection with assimilating and retaining employees working at acquired properties, and assimilating any acquired properties; | |
| we might experience problems and incur unforeseen expenses in connection with upgrading and expanding our systems and processes; and | |
| we might incur unexpected liabilities in connection with the properties and businesses we have acquired. |
If we fail to successfully integrate any properties, assets or companies we acquire, and/or fail to realize the intended benefits of any such transactions, our financial condition and results of operations, and our ability to make distributions to shareholders at historical levels, if at all, might be adversely affected.
The retail real estate industry is highly competitive, and this competition could harm our ability to operate profitably.
Competition in the retail real estate industry is very intense. We compete with other public and private retail real estate companies, including companies that own or manage malls, power centers, lifestyle centers, strip centers, factory outlet centers, or festival centers and community centers, as well as other commercial real estate developers and real estate owners. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor and in-line store tenants. Our malls and our power and strip centers face competition from similar retail centers that are near our retail properties. We also face competition from a variety of different retail formats, including discount or value retailers, home shopping networks, mail order operators, catalogs, telemarketers and internet retailers. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the level of rent that we receive. Increased competition for tenants might also require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make. Any unbudgeted capital improvements could adversely affect our results of operations.
We face increasing competition for the acquisition of properties and other assets, which might impede our ability to make future acquisitions or might increase the cost of these acquisitions.
13
We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of malls and other retail properties, including institutional pension funds, other REITs and other owner-operators of retail properties. These competitors might drive up the price we must pay for properties, other assets or other companies we seek to acquire or might themselves succeed in acquiring those properties, assets or companies. In addition, our potential acquisition targets might find our competitors to be more attractive suitors because they might have greater resources, might be willing to pay more, or might have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger REITs might enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the available capital resources competing for suitable investment properties might increase. This would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. If we pay higher prices for properties, our investment returns will be reduced, which will adversely affect the value of our securities.
Rising operating expenses 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 might negatively affect us. The properties will be subject to increases in real estate and other tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repair and maintenance costs and administrative expenses. Although some of our properties are leased on terms that require tenants to pay a portion of the expenses associated with the property, we might not be able to pass along the increased costs, and renewals of leases or new leases might not be negotiated on that basis, in which event we will have to pay those costs. If we are unable to lease properties on a basis requiring the tenants to pay all or some of the expenses associated with the property, or if tenants fail to pay required tax, utility and other impositions, we could be required to pay those costs, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Similarly, if a property is not fully occupied, we would be required to pay a portion of the expenses that are typically paid by our tenants. We cannot assure you that increases in these expenses will not lead our tenants, or prospective tenants, to seek retail space elsewhere. If operating expenses increase, the availability of other comparable retail space in our specific geographic markets might limit our ability to pass these increases through to our tenants, which could adversely affect our results of operations and limit our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Any tenant bankruptcies or leasing delays or terminations we encounter, particularly with respect to our anchor tenants, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We receive a substantial portion of our operating income as rent under long-term leases with tenants. At any time, any tenant having space in one or more of our properties could experience a downturn in its business that might weaken its financial condition. These tenants might fail to make rental payments when due, delay lease commencement or declare bankruptcy, which could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease and, particularly in the case of a key anchor, could result in material losses to us and harm to our results of operations. Also, it might take time to terminate leases of underperforming or nonperforming tenants and we might incur costs to remove such tenants. Some of our tenants occupy stores at multiple locations in our portfolio, and so the effect of any bankruptcy of those tenants might be more significant to us than the bankruptcy of other tenants. See “Item 2. Properties Major Tenants.” In addition, under many of our leases, our tenants pay rent based on a percentage of their sales. Accordingly, declines in these tenants’ sales and financial performance directly affects our results of operations. Also, if tenants are unable to comply with the terms of our leases, we might modify lease terms in ways that are unfavorable to us.
The income we generate from our retail properties depends, to a large extent, on the ability of our anchor tenants to attract customers to our properties. In recent years, the retail industry and retailers that serve as anchor tenants have experienced or are currently experiencing operational changes, consolidation and other ownership changes. For example, Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Kmart Holding Corporation have announced plans to merge, as have Federated Department Stores, Inc. and The May Department Stores Company. Such announced transactions, if completed, and any similar transactions in the future might result in the restructuring of these companies, which could include closures of anchor stores operated by them at our properties. Any such closures could have a negative effect on our properties. In addition to the loss of rental payments from an anchor, a lease termination by an anchor for any reason, a failure by that anchor to occupy the premises or any other cessation of operations by an anchor could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants of the same property whose leases permit cancellation or rent reduction if an anchor’s lease is terminated or it otherwise ceases occupancy or operations. In that event, we might be unable to re-lease the vacated space in a timely manner or at all. In addition, the leases of some anchors might permit the anchor to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new anchor could cause customer traffic in the property to decrease or to be composed of different types of customers, which could reduce the income generated by that property. A transfer of a lease to a new anchor also could allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases at the property, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
If a tenant files for bankruptcy, the tenant might have the right to reject and terminate its leases, and we cannot be sure that it will affirm its leases and continue to make rental payments in a timely manner. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one of our tenants would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant, or their property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. In addition, we cannot evict a tenant solely because of its bankruptcy. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. Any unsecured claim we hold might be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims, and there are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In 2004, a number of tenants that leased space from us in our properties filed for bankruptcy protection, including KB Toys, Inc. and Gadzooks Inc. These tenant bankruptcies adversely affected our financial condition and results of operations.
14
We might not be successful in identifying suitable acquisitions that meet the criteria we apply, given economic, market or other circumstances, which might impede our growth.
Integral to our business strategy have been our strategic acquisitions of retail properties. Our ability to expand by means of acquisitions requires us to identify suitable acquisition candidates or investment opportunities that meet the criteria we apply, given economic, market or other circumstances, and are compatible with our growth strategy. We analyze potential acquisitions on a property-by-property and market-by-market basis. We might not be successful in identifying suitable properties or other assets in our existing geographic markets or in markets new to us that meet the acquisition criteria we apply, given economic, market or other circumstances, or in consummating acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. An inability to identify or consummate acquisitions could reduce the number of acquisitions we complete and impede our growth, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly affect our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.
Substantially all of our total consolidated assets consist of investments in real properties. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to quickly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand for space, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms we set, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property.
Before a property can be sold, we might be required to make expenditures to correct defects or to make improvements. We cannot assure you that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements, and if we cannot do so, we might not be able to sell the property, or might be required to sell the property on unfavorable terms. In acquiring a property, we might agree to provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as limitations on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties could significantly harm our financial condition and results of operations.
We have entered into tax protection agreements for the benefit of certain former property owners, including some limited partners of PREIT Associates, L.P., that might limit our ability to sell some of our properties that we might otherwise want to sell, which could harm our financial condition.
As the general partner of PREIT Associates, L.P., we have agreed to indemnify certain former property owners, including some who have become limited partners of PREIT Associates, L.P., against tax liability that they might incur if we sell the properties acquired from them within a certain number of years in a taxable transaction. In some cases, these agreements might make it uneconomical for us to sell these properties, even in circumstances in which it otherwise would be advantageous to do so, which could harm our ability to address liquidity needs in the future or otherwise harm our financial condition.
Some of our properties are in need of maintenance and/or renovation, which could harm our operating results.
Some of our retail properties, including some of those acquired as part of the 2003 Rouse shopping mall acquisitions and our merger with Crown, were constructed or last renovated more than 10 years ago. Older properties might generate lower rentals or might require significant expense for maintenance and/or renovations, which could harm our results of operations.
Our business could be harmed if Ronald Rubin, our chairman and chief executive officer, and other members of our senior management team terminate their employment with us.
Our future success depends, to a meaningful extent, upon the continued services of Ronald Rubin, our chairman and chief executive officer, and the services of our corporate management team (including the five-person Office of the Chairman that, in addition to Ronald Rubin, consists of Jonathan Weller, George Rubin, Edward Glickman and Joseph Coradino). Although we have entered into employment agreements with Ronald Rubin and certain other members of our corporate management team, they could elect to terminate those agreements at any time. In addition, although we have purchased a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $5 million to cover Ronald Rubin, we cannot assure you that this would compensate us for the loss of his services. The loss of services of one or more members of our corporate management team could harm our business and our prospects.
15
We have invested and expect to invest in the future as a partner in acquiring or developing properties, and we might not control the management or disposition of these properties, or we might be exposed to other risks.
We have invested and expect to invest in the future as a partner in the acquisition of existing properties or the development of new properties, in contrast to acquiring properties or developing projects on our own. Entering into partnerships with third parties involves risks not present in the case where we act alone, in that we might not have exclusive control over the acquisition, development, financing, leasing, management and other aspects of the property or project. These limitations might adversely affect our ability to sell these properties at the most advantageous time for us.
Some of our retail properties are owned by partnerships in which we are a general partner. Under the terms of the partnership agreements, major decisions, such as a sale, lease, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of a property, or a change of property manager, require the consent of all partners. Accordingly, because decisions must be unanimous, necessary actions might be delayed significantly and it might be difficult or even impossible to remove a partner that is serving as the property manager. We might not be able to favorably resolve any issues which arise with respect to such decisions, or we might have to provide financial or other inducements to our partners to obtain such resolution. In cases where we are not the controlling partner or where we are only one of the general partners, there are many decisions that do not relate to fundamental matters that do not require our approval and that we do not control. Also, in cases in which we serve as managing general partner of the partnerships that own our properties, we might have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the other partners in those partnerships.
Business disagreements with partners might arise. We might incur substantial expenses in resolving these disputes. To preserve our investment, we might be required to make commitments to or on behalf of a partnership during a dispute that might not be credited or repaid in full. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our resolution of a dispute with a partner will be on terms that are favorable to us.
Other risks of investments in partnerships with third parties include:
| partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions; | |
| partners might have business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals; | |
| partners might be in a position to take action contrary to our policies or objectives; | |
| we might incur liability for the actions of our partners; and | |
| third-party managers might not be sensitive to REIT tax compliance matters. |
We might not be able to obtain capital to finance our business initiatives or to finance our partnerships with third parties.
We expect to meet certain of our long-term capital requirements, such as acquisitions of properties or other assets, expenses associated with acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities. The REIT provisions of the Code generally require the distribution to shareholders of 90% of a REIT’s net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, which generally leaves insufficient funds to finance major initiatives internally. Our ability to finance our growth using external sources depends, in part, on the availability of credit or of equity capital to us at the time or times we need it. Over the course of the business cycle, there might be times when lenders and equity investors might show less interest in lending to us or investing in our securities. Our Credit Facility has a term that expires in November 2007, with an additional 14 month extension provided there is no event of default at that time. Although we believe, based on current market conditions, that we will be able to finance our business initiatives for the foreseeable future, financing might not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company" for information about our available sources of funds. If we are unable to borrow under our Credit Facility or to arrange for alternative financing, we might be unable to acquire properties, redevelop our existing properties or finance other corporate activities, and our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
16
The profitability of each partnership we enter into with third parties that has short-term financing or debt requiring a balloon payment is dependent on the availability of long-term financing on satisfactory terms. If satisfactory long-term financing is not available, we might have to rely on other sources of short-term financing or equity contributions. Although these partnerships are not wholly-owned by us, we might be required to pay the full amount of any obligation of the partnership that we have guaranteed in whole or in part, or we might elect to pay all of the obligations of such a partnership to protect our equity interest in its properties and assets. This could cause us to utilize a substantial portion of our liquidity sources or funds from operations and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and reduce amounts available for distribution to shareholders.
If we suffer losses that are not covered by insurance or that are in excess of our insurance coverage limits, we could lose invested capital and anticipated profits.
There are some types of losses, including those of a catastrophic nature, such as losses due to wars, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution and environmental matters, that are generally uninsurable or not economically insurable, or might be subject to insurance coverage limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. If one of these events occurred to, or caused the destruction of, one or more of our properties, we could lose both our invested capital and anticipated profits from that property. We also might remain obligated for any mortgage or other financial obligation related to the property. In addition, if we are unable to obtain insurance in the future at acceptable levels and at a reasonable cost, the possibility of losses in excess of our insurance coverage might increase and we might not be able to comply with covenants under our debt agreements, which could adversely affect our financial condition. If any of our properties were to experience a significant, uninsured loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay our receipt of revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. These types of events could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Some of our properties are held by special purpose entities and are not generally available to satisfy creditors’ claims in bankruptcy, which could impair our ability to borrow.
Some of our properties are owned or ground-leased by subsidiaries that we created solely to own or ground-lease those properties. The mortgaged properties and related assets are restricted solely for the payment of the related loans and are not available to pay our other debts, which could impair our ability to borrow, which in turn could harm our business.
PREIT-RUBIN manages properties owned by third parties, and the loss, interruption or termination of one or more management contracts could harm our operating results.
Risks associated with PREIT-RUBIN’s management of properties owned by third parties include:
| the property owner’s termination of the management contract and the corresponding loss of management fee revenue; | |
| loss of the management contract in connection with a property sale; | |
| non-renewal of the management contract after expiration; | |
| renewal of the management contract on terms less favorable than current terms; | |
| decline in management fees as a result of general real estate market conditions or local market factors; and | |
| claims of losses due to allegations of mismanagement. |
The occurrence of one or more of these events could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
See also Item 1. Business Environmental.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE
Some of our officers have interests in properties that we manage and therefore might have conflicts of interest that could adversely affect our business.
17
We provide management, leasing and development services for partnerships and other ventures in which some of our officers and trustees, including Ronald Rubin, a trustee and our chairman and chief executive officer, and George Rubin, a trustee and a vice chairman, have indirect ownership interests. In addition, we lease substantial office space from Bellevue Associates, an entity in which some of our officers, including the Rubins, have an interest. Our officers who have interests in the other parties to these transactions have a conflict of interest in deciding to enter into these agreements and in negotiating their terms, which could result in our obtaining terms that are less favorable than we might otherwise obtain, which could adversely affect our business.
Limited partners of PREIT Associates, L.P. might vote on certain fundamental changes we propose, which could inhibit a change in control that might otherwise result in a premium to our shareholders.
Our assets generally are held through PREIT Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership of which we are the sole general partner. We currently hold a majority of the outstanding units of limited partnership interest in PREIT Associates. However, PREIT Associates might, from time to time, issue additional units to third parties in exchange for contributions of property to PREIT Associates. These issuances will dilute our percentage ownership of PREIT Associates. Units generally do not carry a right to vote on any matter voted on by our shareholders, although limited partnership interests might, under certain circumstances, be redeemed for our shares. However, before the date on which at least half of the units issued on September 30, 1997 in connection with our acquisition of The Rubin Organization have been redeemed, the holders of units issued on September 30, 1997 are entitled to vote such units together with our shareholders, as a single class, on any proposal to merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets. Our partnership interest in PREIT Associates is not included for purposes of determining when half of the partnership interests issued on September 30, 1997 have been redeemed, nor are they counted as votes. These existing rights could inhibit a change in control that might otherwise result in a premium to our shareholders. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not agree to extend comparable rights to other limited partners in PREIT Associates.
Mark E. Pasquerilla might have the ability to exercise influence over us and might delay, defer or prevent us from taking actions that would be beneficial to our shareholders.
As of February 14, 2005, Mark E. Pasquerilla and his affiliates owned more than 6% of our outstanding common shares, assuming the redemption of their units of limited partnership interest in PREIT Associates, L.P. for our common shares. Mr. Pasquerilla also is a member of our board of trustees. Accordingly, Mr. Pasquerilla might be able to exercise influence over the outcome of certain matters such as decisions relating to the election of candidates for the board of trustees and the determination of our day-to-day corporate and management policies, and possibly over the outcome of any proposed merger or consolidation that we consider. Mr. Pasquerilla’s ownership interest in us might discourage third parties from seeking to acquire control of us, which might adversely affect the market price of our common shares. As a condition to the Crown merger, Mr. Pasquerilla and certain of his affiliates entered into a standstill agreement limiting their rights in connection with, among other things, a proposed change in control of us. However, we cannot assure you that Mr. Pasquerilla and his affiliates will abide by the terms of the standstill agreement, and the standstill agreement will not prevent Mr. Pasquerilla from voting his shares or taking other actions with respect to matters not covered by the standstill agreement.
Our organizational documents contain provisions that might discourage a takeover of us and depress our share price.
Our organizational documents contain provisions that might have an anti-takeover effect and inhibit a change in our management and the opportunity to realize a premium over the then prevailing market price of our securities. These provisions include:
(1) | There are ownership limits and restrictions on transferability in our trust agreement . In order to protect our status as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares (after taking into account options to acquire shares) may be owned, directly or constructively, by five or fewer individuals, and the shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. To assist us in satisfying these tests, subject to some exceptions, our trust agreement prohibits any shareholder from owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest (exclusive of preferred shares) or more than 9.9% of any class or series of preferred shares. The trust agreement also prohibits transfers of shares that would cause a shareholder to exceed the 9.9% limit or cause us to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons. Our board of trustees might exempt a person from the 9.9% ownership limit if they receive a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel or tax accountants that exceeding the 9.9% ownership limit as to that person would not jeopardize our tax status as a REIT. Absent an exemption, this restriction might: |
18
| discourage, delay or prevent a tender offer or other transactions or a change in management or control that might involve a premium price for our shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders; or | ||
| compel a shareholder who had acquired more than 9.9% of our shares to transfer the additional shares to a trust and, as a result, to forfeit the benefits of owning the additional shares. |
(2) | Our trust agreement permits our board of trustees to issue preferred shares with terms that might discourage a third party from acquiring our company. Our trust agreement permits our board of trustees to create and issue multiple classes and series of preferred shares, and classes and series of preferred shares having preferences to the existing shares on any matter, without a vote of shareholders, including preferences in rights in liquidation or to dividends and option rights, and other securities having conversion or option rights, and might authorize the creation and issuance by our subsidiaries and affiliates of securities having conversion and option rights in respect of our shares. Our trust agreement further provides that the terms of such rights or other securities might provide for disparate treatment of certain holders or groups of holders of such rights or other securities. The issuance of such rights or other securities could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control over us, even if a change in control were in our shareholders’ interest. |
(3) | Our staggered board of trustees might affect the ability of a shareholder to take control of our company . Our board of trustees has three classes of trustees. The term of office of one class expires each year. Trustees for each class are elected for three year terms upon the expiration of the term of the respective class. The staggered terms for trustees might affect the ability of a shareholder to take control of us, even if a change in control were in the best interests of our shareholders. |
In addition, we have adopted a shareholder rights plan that might discourage, delay or prevent a tender offer or other transaction that might involve a premium price for our shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.
RISKS RELATED TO THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY
Many factors, including negative perceptions of the retail sector generally, can have an adverse effect on the market value of our securities.
As is the case with other publicly traded companies, a number of factors might adversely affect the price of our securities, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
| Increases in market interest rates, relative to the dividend yield on our shares. If market interest rates go up, prospective purchasers of our securities might require a higher yield. Higher market interest rates would not, however, result in more funds for us to distribute to shareholders and, to the contrary, would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our shares to go down. | |
| Anticipated benefit of an investment in our securities as compared to investment in securities of companies in other industries (including benefits associated with tax treatment of dividends and distributions). | |
| Perception by market professionals of REITs generally and REITs in the retail market segment in particular. Our portfolio of properties consists almost entirely of retail properties and we expect to continue to focus on acquiring retail centers in the future. | |
| Perception by market participants of our potential for payment of cash distributions and for growth. | |
| Level of institutional investor interest in our securities. | |
| Relatively low trading volumes in securities of REITs. | |
| Our results of operations and financial condition. | |
| Investor confidence in the stock market generally. |
19
The market value of our common shares is based primarily upon the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions. Consequently, our common shares might trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per common share. If our future earnings or cash distributions are less than expected, it is likely that the market price of our common and preferred shares will diminish.
Legislative actions, higher insurance and new accounting pronouncements could increase our operating expenses and affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as well as changes to listing standards adopted by the New York Stock Exchange, we have been and continue to incur certain costs and expenses, including hiring additional personnel and utilizing additional outside legal, accounting and advisory services. These activities increase our operating expenses. In addition, insurers might increase premiums as a result of our increased size or other factors or changes in the marketplace, so our costs for our insurance policies, including our directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, might increase. We cannot predict the effect that new accounting pronouncements might have on our results of operations. Any such accounting pronouncements also could result in the incurrence of additional professional fees.
Possible terrorist activity or other acts of violence or war could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Future terrorist attacks in the United States, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war, might result in declining economic activity, which could harm the demand for goods and services offered by our tenants and the value of our properties and might adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities. A decrease in retail demand could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates. Terrorist activities also could directly affect the value of our properties through damage, destruction or loss, and the availability of insurance for such acts might be lower, or cost more, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that our tenants are affected by future attacks, their businesses similarly could be adversely affected, including their ability to continue to meet obligations under their existing leases. These acts might erode business and consumer confidence and spending, and might result in increased volatility in national and international financial markets and economies. Any one of these events might decrease demand for real estate, decrease or delay the occupancy of our new or redeveloped properties, and limit our access to capital or increase our cost of raising capital. Also, we might face higher operating expenses. For example, it might cost more in the future than in the past for physical security, property/casualty and liability insurance and property maintenance. As a result of the terrorist attacks and other market conditions, the cost of premiums for insurance coverage might be significantly higher when it is time to renew our coverage, which could increase our operating expenses and negatively affect our results of operations and our cash flow.
TAX RISKS
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, our shareholders would be adversely affected.
We believe that we have qualified as a REIT since our inception and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, however, we must comply with certain highly technical and complex requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, which is more complicated in the case of a REIT such as ours that holds its assets primarily in partnership form. We cannot be certain we have complied with these requirements because there are very limited judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions, and even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status. In addition, facts and circumstances that might be beyond our control might affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. We cannot assure you that new legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws significantly with respect to our qualification as a REIT or with respect to the federal income tax consequences of qualification.
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Also, unless the Internal Revenue Service granted us relief under statutory provisions, we would remain disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we first failed to qualify. The additional tax incurred at regular corporate rates would reduce significantly the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service. In addition, we would no longer be required to make any distributions to shareholders. If there were a determination that we do not qualify as a REIT, there would be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and there could be a material reduction in the value of our common and preferred shares.
20
We might be unable to comply with the strict income distribution requirements applicable to REITs, or compliance with such requirements could adversely affect our financial condition.
To obtain the favorable tax treatment associated with qualifying as a REIT, we are required each year to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our net taxable income. In addition, we are subject to a tax on any undistributed portion of our income at regular corporate rates and might also be subject to a 4% excise tax on this undistributed income. We could be required to seek to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT, even if conditions are not favorable for borrowing, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Retail Properties
As of December 31, 2004, we had interests in 49 retail properties containing an aggregate of approximately 32.2 million square feet, of which we and partnerships in which we own an interest owned approximately 25.1 million square feet. PREIT Services currently manages 42 of these properties, all of which are wholly-owned by us. PREIT-RUBIN co-manages one property, which is owned by a partnership that is not wholly-owned by us. The remaining six properties also are owned by partnerships that are not wholly-owned by us and are managed by our partners, or by an entity we or our partners designate.
Total occupancy in our enclosed malls including only space we own was 90.7% as of December 31, 2004. Occupancy in our power centers was 96.8% as of that date, and occupancy in our strip centers was 95.7% as of that date.
In general, we own the land underlying our properties in fee or, in the case of our properties held by partnerships with others, ownership by the partnership entity is in fee. At certain properties, however, the underlying land is owned by third parties and leased to us or the partnership in which we hold an interest pursuant to long term ground leases. In a ground lease, the property owner pays rent for the use of the land and is responsible for all costs and expenses related to the building and improvements.

Right of First Refusal Properties
In connection with our acquisition of The Rubin Organization in 1997, we obtained rights of first refusal with respect to the interests of some of the former affiliates of The Rubin Organization in Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey and Fairfield Mall in Chicopee, Massachusetts. We acquired Cumberland Mall in February 2005, and we determined in 2004 that we would not be exercising our rights with respect to Fairfield Mall.
Large Format Retailers and Anchors
Historically, a mall’s large format retailers and anchors have been an important element of attracting customers to a mall, and they have generally been department stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of customers, although in recent years we have attracted some non-traditional large format retailers. These large format retailers and anchors either own their stores, the land under them and adjacent parking areas, or enter into long-term leases at rates that are generally lower than the rents charged to in-line tenants. Well-known, financially sound large format retailers and anchors continue to play an important role in generating customer traffic and making malls desirable locations for in-line store tenants, even though the market share of traditional department store anchors has been declining. The following table indicates the parent company of each of our large format retailers and anchors and sets forth the number of stores and square feet owned or leased by each at our retail properties as of December 31, 2004. The term GLA refers to gross leasable area leased to tenants.

Industrial Properties
We own four industrial properties. We have not acquired any property of this type in over 30 years. We do not consider these properties to be strategically held assets. These properties, in the aggregate, contributed less than 1% of our net rental income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Office Space
We lease our principal executive offices from Bellevue Associates (the “Landlord”), an entity in which certain of our officers and trustees have an interest. On September 22, 2004, we entered into a Second Amendment, effective June 1, 2004, to the Office Lease (as amended, the “Office Lease”) with the Landlord. Among other things, the amendment extends our rentable space under the Office Lease to a total of approximately 68,100 square feet, which includes approximately 42,700 square feet we had previously leased from the Landlord, approximately 15,400 square feet we had previously subleased from another tenant, and approximately 10,000 square feet of new space. The term of the Office Lease is 10 years, commencing November 1, 2004. We have the option to renew the lease for up to two additional five year periods at the then-current fair market rate calculated in accordance with the terms of the Office Lease. In addition, we have the right on one occasion at any time during the seventh lease year to terminate the Office Lease upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Effective June 1, 2004, our base rent is $1.4 million per year during the first five years of the Office Lease and $1.5 million per year during the second five years.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the Company becomes involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties and the properties it manages for third parties. In management’s opinion, the resolutions of these legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June and July respectively, of 2003, a former administrative employee and a former building engineer of PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”) pled guilty to criminal charges related to the misappropriation of funds at a property owned by Independence Blue Cross (“IBC”) for which PRI provided certain management services. PRI provided these services from January 1994 to December 2001. The former employees worked under the supervision of the Director of Real Estate for IBC, who earlier pled guilty to criminal charges. Together with other individuals, the former PRI employees and IBC’s Director of Real Estate misappropriated funds from IBC through a series of schemes. IBC has estimated its losses at approximately $14 million, and has alleged that PRI is responsible for such losses under the terms of a management agreement. To date, no lawsuit has been filed against PRI. The Company understands that IBC has recovered $5 million under fidelity policies issued by IBC’s insurance carriers. In addition, the Company understands that several defendants in the criminal proceedings have forfeited assets having an estimated value of approximately $5 million which have been or will be liquidated by the United States Justice Department and applied toward restitution. The restitution and insurance recoveries result in a significant mitigation of IBC’s losses and potential claims against PRI, although PRI may be subject to subrogation claims from IBC’s insurance carriers for all or a portion of the amounts paid by them to IBC. The Company believes that PRI has valid defenses to any potential claims by IBC. PRI has insurance to cover some or all of any potential payments to IBC, and has taken actions to preserve its rights with respect to such insurance. The Company is unable to estimate or determine the likelihood of any loss to the Company.
In April 2002, a partnership in which we hold a 50% interest filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Delaware Department of Transportation and its Secretary alleging failure of the Department and the Secretary to take actions agreed upon in a 1992 Settlement Agreement necessary for development of the Christiana Power Center Phase II project. In October 2003, the Court decided that the Department did breach the terms of the 1992 Settlement Agreement and remitted the matter to the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for a determination of damages. The Delaware Department of Transportation appealed the Chancery Court’s decision to the Delaware Supreme Court, which, in April 2004, affirmed The Chancery Court’s decision. The Company is not in a position to predict the outcome of the Superior Court’s determination of damages or its ultimate effect on the construction of the Christiana Power Center Phase II project.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2004.

As of December 31, 2004, there were approximately 3,400 holders of record of our common shares and approximately 26,000 beneficial holders of our common shares.
We currently anticipate that cash distributions will continue to be paid in the future in March, June, September and December. However, our future payment of distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on numerous factors, including our cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the real estate investment trust provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and other factors that our Board of Trustees deems relevant.
Units
Class A and Class B Units of PREIT Associates are redeemable by PREIT Associates at the election of the limited partner holding the Units at the time and for the consideration set forth in PREIT Associates' partnership agreement. In general, and subject to exceptions and limitations, beginning one year following the respective issue dates, "qualifying parties" may give one or more notices of redemption with respect to all or any part of the Class A Units then held by that party. Class B Units are redeemable at the option of the holder at any time after issuance.
If a notice of redemption is given, we have the right to elect to acquire the Units tendered for redemption for our own account, either in exchange for the issuance of a like number of our shares, subject to adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations and like events, or a cash payment equal to the average of the closing prices of our shares on the ten consecutive trading days immediately before our receipt, in our capacity as general partner of PREIT Associates, of the notice of redemption. If we decline to exercise this right, then on the tenth business day following tender for redemption, PREIT Associates will pay a cash amount equal to the number of Units so tendered multiplied by such average closing price.
Unregistered Offerings
During the fourth quarter of 2004, we issued 15,000 shares in return for an equal number of Class A Units tendered for redemption by a limited partner of PREIT Associates. The shares were issued under exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
OVERVIEW
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity REITs in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls and power and strip centers located in the eastern United States. Our portfolio currently consists of 54 properties in 12 states and includes 37 shopping malls (including Cumberland Mall that was acquired in February 2005), 13 power and strip centers and four industrial properties. The retail properties have a total of approximately 33.1 million square feet, of which we and partnerships in which we own an interest own approximately 25.5 million square feet.
We hold our interests in our portfolio of properties through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. ("PREIT Associates"). We are the sole general partner of PREIT Associates and, as of December 31, 2004, held an 89.15% controlling interest in PREIT Associates. We consolidate PREIT Associates for financial reporting purposes. We hold our investments in seven of the 50 retail properties in our portfolio through unconsolidated partnerships with third parties. We hold a non-controlling interest in each unconsolidated partnership, and account for them using the equity method of accounting. We do not control any of these equity method investees for the following reasons:
| Except for one property that we co-manage with our partner, all of the other entities are managed on a day-to-day basis by one of our other partners as the managing general partner in each of the respective partnerships. In the case of the co-managed property, all decisions in the ordinary course of business are made jointly. | |
| The managing general partner is responsible for establishing the operating and capital decisions of the partnership, including budgets, in the ordinary course of business. | |
| All major decisions of each partnership, such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property require the approval of all partners. | |
| Voting rights and the sharing of profits and losses are generally in proportion to the ownership percentages of each partner. |
We record the earnings from the unconsolidated partnerships using the equity method of accounting under the income statement caption entitled “Equity in income of partnerships” rather than consolidating the results of the unconsolidated partnerships with our results. Changes in our investments in these entities are recorded in the balance sheet caption entitled "Investment in and advances to partnerships, at equity" (in the case of deficit investment balances, such amounts are recorded in "Investments in partnerships, deficit balances"). For further information regarding our unconsolidated partnerships, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
We provide our management, leasing and development services through PREIT Services, LLC, which develops and manages our wholly-owned properties, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. ("PRI"), which develops and manages properties that we own interests in through partnerships with third parties and properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest. Of our seven unconsolidated properties, we co-manage one of the properties and partners or their affiliates manage the remaining six properties. One of our key strategic long-term objectives is to obtain managerial control of all of our assets. Due to the nature of our existing partnership arrangements, we cannot anticipate when this objective will be achieved, if at all.
In 2003, we transformed our strategic focus to the retail sector by merging with Crown American Realty Trust (“Crown”), which owned 26 shopping malls and a 50% interest in Palmer Park Mall in Easton, Pennsylvania, and by acquiring six shopping malls in the Philadelphia area from The Rouse Company, along with several other retail property acquisitions that are discussed below. Our merger and acquisition activities were primarily financed using the proceeds from the disposition of our 19 property multifamily portfolio, the issuance of 6,325,000 common shares through a public offering, a new $500 million unsecured revolving Credit Facility, two new mortgage financings, and the issuance of common and preferred shares and units in our operating partnership (“OP Units”) in connection with the Crown merger.
We have incurred significant expenses related to the integration of the business and properties we acquired for consulting, compensation and other services. As a result of the completion of our merger with Crown and other acquisition activities, we recognized expenses of $1.9 million and $6.4 million through December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The costs were primarily for severance payments, incentive compensation, integration consulting and costs associated with closing Crown’s former headquarters.
36
Our revenues consist primarily of fixed rental income and additional rent in the form of expense reimbursements and percentage rents (rents that are based on a percentage of our tenants' sales or a percentage of sales in excess of thresholds that are specified in the leases) derived from our income producing retail properties. We receive income from our real estate partnership investments, in which we have equity interests that range from 40% to 50%. We also receive income from PRI derived from the management and leasing services it provides to properties owned by third parties.
Our net income available to common shareholders decreased by $154.3 million to $40.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $194.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The primary reason for the decrease from 2003 to 2004 was the sale of the 15 wholly-owned multifamily properties in the second and third quarters of 2003. The multifamily properties generated net income from operations of $5.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2003, and we recognized a gain on the sale of the wholly-owned multifamily properties of $178.1 million, resulting in income from discontinued operations of $166.8 million (net of minority interest of $18.8 million) for the year ended December 31, 2003. Our 2003 and 2004 property acquisitions caused an increase in our real estate revenues, with a corresponding increase in property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003.
ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
2005 Acquisitions
In February 2005, we acquired the Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey. The total purchase price was approximately $59.5 million, which included approximately $47.7 million in mortgage debt secured by Cumberland Mall. The remaining portion of the purchase price included approximately $11.0 million in OP Units which were valued based on the average of the closing price of our common shares on the ten consecutive trading days immediately before the closing date of the transaction. In a related transaction, we acquired an undeveloped 1.7 acre land parcel adjacent to Cumberland Mall for approximately $0.9 million in cash, which we have included in the aggregate $59.5 million purchase price.
PRI has managed and leased Cumberland Mall since 1997. Ronald Rubin, chairman, chief executive officer and a trustee of the Company, and George Rubin, a vice chairman and a trustee of the Company, controlled and had substantial ownership interests in Cumberland Mall Associates (a New Jersey limited partnership that owns Cumberland Mall) and the entity that owned the adjacent undeveloped parcel. Accordingly, a committee of non-management trustees evaluated the transactions on behalf of the Company. The committee obtained an independent appraisal and found the purchase price to be fair to the Company. The committee also approved the reduction of the fee payable by Cumberland Mall Associates to PRI under the existing management agreement upon the sale of the mall from 3% of the purchase price to 1% of the purchase price. The fee received by PRI was treated as a reduction of the purchase price for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s Board of Trustees also approved the transaction.
We are actively involved in pursuing and evaluating a number of individual property and portfolio acquisition opportunities.
2004 Acquisitions
In December 2004, we acquired Orlando Fashion Square in Orlando, Florida with 1.1 million square feet for approximately $123.5 million. The transaction was financed from borrowings made under our Credit Facility. Of the purchase price amount, $14.7 million was allocated to the value of in-place leases and $0.7 million was allocated to above-market leases.
In May 2004, we acquired The Gallery at Market East II in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with 334,400 square feet for $32.4 million. The purchase price was funded from our Credit Facility. Of the purchase price amount, $4.5 million was allocated to value of in-place leases, $1.2 million was allocated to above-market leases and $1.1 million was allocated to below-market leases. This property is adjacent to The Gallery at Market East I. When combined with The Gallery at Market East I (acquired in 2003), we own 528,000 square feet of the total 1.1 million square feet in The Gallery at Market East.
37
As further described in “Additional 2003 Acquisitions,” in May 2004, we acquired the remaining 27% ownership interest in New Castle Associates, the entity that owns Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
In March 2004, we acquired a 25 acre parcel of land in Florence, South Carolina. The purchase price for the parcel was $3.8 million in cash, including related closing costs. The parcel, which is zoned for commercial development, is situated across the street from Magnolia Mall and The Commons at Magnolia, both wholly-owned PREIT properties.
Crown Merger
On November 20, 2003, we announced the closing of the Crown merger with and into the Company (the "Merger") in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of May 13, 2003, by and among the Company, PREIT Associates, L.P., Crown and Crown American Properties, L.P., a limited partnership of which Crown was the sole general partner before the Merger ("CAP"). Through the Merger and related transactions, we acquired 26 wholly-owned regional shopping malls and the remaining 50% interest in Palmer Park Mall in Easton, Pennsylvania.
In the Merger, each Crown common share automatically was converted into the right to receive 0.3589 of a PREIT common share in a tax-free, share-for-share transaction. Accordingly, we issued approximately 11,725,175 of our common shares to the former holders of Crown common shares. In addition, we issued 2,475,000 11% non-convertible senior preferred shares to the former holders of Crown preferred shares in connection with the Merger. Also as part of the Merger, options to purchase a total of 30,000 Crown common shares were replaced with options to purchase a total of 10,764 PREIT common shares with a weighted average exercise price of $21.13 per share and options to purchase a total of 421,100 units of limited partnership interest in CAP were replaced with options to purchase a total of 151,087 PREIT common shares with a weighted average exercise price of $17.23 per share. In addition, a warrant to purchase 100,000 Crown common shares automatically was converted into a replacement warrant to purchase 35,890 PREIT common shares at an exercise price of $25.08 per share.
Immediately after the closing of the Merger, CAP contributed the remaining interest in all of its assets excluding a portion of its interest in two partnerships and substantially all of its liabilities to PREIT Associates in exchange for 1,703,214 OP Units. The interest in the two partnerships retained by CAP is subject to a put-call arrangement described below under "Commitments."
In connection with the Merger, we also assumed from Crown approximately $443.8 million of a first mortgage loan that has a final maturity date of September 10, 2025 and is secured by a portfolio of 15 properties at an interest rate of 7.43% per annum. This rate remains in effect until September 10, 2008, the anticipated repayment date, at which time the loan can be prepaid without penalty. If not repaid at that time, the interest rate thereafter will be equal to the greater of (i) 10.43% per annum or (ii) the Treasury Rate plus 3.0% per annum. We also assumed an additional $152.9 million in mortgages on certain properties with interest rates between 3.12% and 7.61% per annum, and repaid all $154.9 million of outstanding indebtedness under a Crown line of credit facility with borrowings under our new credit facility described below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources Credit Facility."
Six of the properties acquired in connection with the Merger were considered to be non-strategic, and were classified as held-for-sale (the "Non-Core Properties"). The Non-Core Properties were: Bradley Square Mall in Cleveland, Tennessee; Martinsburg Mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia; Mount Berry Square Mall in Rome, Georgia; Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, Pennsylvania; Shenango Valley Mall in Sharon, Pennsylvania; and West Manchester Mall in York, Pennsylvania. During 2004, we finalized our purchase price allocation for the Crown properties and reallocated $26.7 million of the purchase price that was originally allocated to the Non-Core Properties. This amount was reallocated among the 20 properties acquired in the Merger that are classified in continuing operations.
During 2004, we recorded additional basis in the properties acquired in the Merger of $3.2 million, primarily relating to additional professional fees incurred in connection with the Merger.
38
Additional 2003 Acquisitions
We entered into a partnership with Pennsylvania State Employee Retirement System ("PaSERS") in February 2000 to acquire Willow Grove Park, a retail mall in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Our interest was 0.01% at the time we entered the partnership that owns the property. In November 2001, we increased our ownership in the partnership that owns the property to 30%. Effective September 2003, we acquired the remaining 70% limited partnership interest from PaSERS. The purchase price of the 70% partnership interest was $45.5 million in cash, which we paid using a portion of the net proceeds of our August 2003 equity offering. As of the date of the acquisition of the 70% interest, the partnership had $109.7 million in debt ($76.9 million of which is attributable to the acquisition of the remaining 70% interest) with an interest rate of 8.39% maturing in March 2006.
Also in September 2003, we purchased a 6.08 acre parcel and a vacant 160,000 square foot two-story building adjacent to the Plymouth Meeting Mall in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania for $15.8 million, which included $13.5 million in cash paid to IKEA for the building from our August 2003 equity offering and approximately 72,000 OP Units paid to the holder of an option to acquire the parcel.
In April 2003, we acquired Moorestown Mall, The Gallery at Market East I and Exton Square Mall from affiliated entities of The Rouse Company ("Rouse") and in June 2003, we acquired Echelon Mall and Plymouth Meeting Mall from Rouse, all of which are located in the Greater Philadelphia area. In June 2003, we also acquired the ground lessor's interest in Plymouth Meeting Mall from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association ("TIAA"). In addition, in April 2003, New Castle Associates acquired Cherry Hill Mall from Rouse in exchange for New Castle Associates' interest in Christiana Mall, cash and the assumption by New Castle Associates of mortgage debt on Cherry Hill Mall. On that same date, we acquired a 49.9% ownership interest in New Castle Associates and, through subsequent contributions to New Castle Associates, increased our ownership interest to approximately 73%. In May 2004, we exercised our option to acquire the remaining ownership interest in New Castle Associates in exchange for an aggregate of 609,317 additional OP Units. As a result, we now own 100% of New Castle Associates. Prior to the closing of the acquisition of the remaining interest, each of the remaining partners of New Castle Associates other than the Company was entitled to a cumulative preferred distribution from New Castle Associates on their remaining interests in New Castle Associates equal to $1.2 million in the aggregate per annum, subject to certain downward adjustments based upon certain capital distributions by New Castle Associates. The aggregate purchase price for our acquisition of the five malls from Rouse, for TIAA's ground lease interest in Plymouth Meeting Mall and for New Castle Associates (including the additional purchase price paid upon exercise of our option to acquire the remaining interests in New Castle Associates) was $549 million, including approximately $237 million in cash, the assumption of $277 million in non-recourse mortgage debt and the issuance of approximately $35 million in OP Units. Certain former partners of New Castle Associates not affiliated with us exercised their special right to redeem for cash an aggregate of 261,349 OP Units issued to such partners at closing, and we paid to those partners an aggregate amount of approximately $7.7 million. In addition, we granted registration rights to the partners of New Castle Associates with respect to the shares underlying the OP Units issued or to be issued to them, other than those redeemed for cash following the closing.
Pan American Associates, the former sole general partner and a former limited partner of New Castle Associates, is controlled by Ronald Rubin and George Rubin. By reason of their interest in Pan American Associates, Ronald Rubin had a 9.37% indirect limited partner interest in New Castle Associates and George F. Rubin had a 1.43% indirect limited partner interest in New Castle Associates.
In connection with the April 2003 sale of Christiana Mall by New Castle Associates to Rouse, PRI received a brokerage fee of $2.0 million pursuant to a pre-existing management and leasing agreement between PRI and New Castle Associates. This fee was received in April 2003 by PRI prior to our acquisition of our ownership interest in New Castle Associates.
PRI also entered into a new management and leasing agreement with New Castle Associates for Cherry Hill Mall, which provided for a fee of 5.25% of all rents and other revenues received by New Castle Associates from Cherry Hill Mall. We ceased recording charges under this agreement upon our purchase of the remaining interest in New Castle Associates.
39
2002 Acquisitions
In October 2002, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in Regency Lakeside Apartments. We paid approximately $14.2 million for this remaining interest, including $9.6 million in the form of an assumed mortgage (representing the seller's 50% share of the mortgage), $2.5 million borrowed under a credit facility and $2.1 million in cash. This property was subsequently sold in 2003 in connection with the disposition of our multifamily portfolio as described below under "Dispositions."
In July 2002, we acquired the remaining 11% interest in Northeast Tower Center and related parcels of land pursuant to the Contribution Agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of The Rubin Organization in September 1997. The purchase price for the acquisition consisted of 24,337 OP Units issued in 2002 valued at $0.6 million and 6,290 OP Units issued in 2003 valued at $0.1 million. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis Related Party Transactions Acquisition of The Rubin Organization.”
In April 2002, we purchased Beaver Valley Mall, located in Monaca, Pennsylvania, for a purchase price of $60.8 million. The purchase was financed primarily through a $48.0 million mortgage and a $10.0 million bank borrowing. The $10.0 million bank borrowing was subsequently repaid. Also in April 2002, we exercised an option to purchase a portion of the land on which Beaver Valley Mall is situated for $0.5 million.
Dispositions
In September 2004, we sold five of the Non-Core Properties for a sale price of $110.7 million. The net proceeds from the sale were approximately $108.5 million after closing costs and adjustments. We used the proceeds from this sale primarily to repay amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility. We did not record a gain or loss on this sale. The sixth Non-Core Property, Schuylkill Mall, remains designated as held for sale.
In August 2004, we sold our 60% non-controlling ownership interest in Rio Grande Mall, a 166,000 square foot strip center in Rio Grande, New Jersey, to Freeco Development LLC, an affiliate of our partner in this property, for net proceeds of $4.1 million. We recorded a gain of approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2004 from this transaction.
In the second and third quarters of 2003, we disposed of our entire portfolio of multifamily properties, which consisted of 15 wholly-owned properties and four properties in which we had a 50% partnership interest. We sold our 15 wholly-owned multifamily properties to MPM Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Morgan Properties, Ltd., for a total sale price of $392.1 million (approximately $185.3 million of which consisted of assumed indebtedness). The sales of our wholly-owned multifamily properties resulted in a gain of $178.1 million. In the second quarter of 2004, we recorded a $0.6 million reduction to the gain on the sale of the portfolio in connection with the settlement of claims made against us by the purchaser of the properties. The results of operations of these properties and the resulting gains on sales are included in discontinued operations.
A substantial portion of the gain on the sale of the wholly-owned multifamily properties met the requirements for a tax deferred exchange with the properties acquired from Rouse.
We sold our 50% partnership interest in four multifamily properties to our respective partners. Cambridge Hall Apartments in West Chester, Pennsylvania was sold in May 2003 for $6.7 million, including $2.5 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $4.4 million was recorded on the sale. Countrywood Apartments in Tampa, Florida was sold in May 2003 for $9.1 million, including $7.3 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $4.5 million was recorded on the sale. Fox Run Apartments in Warminster, Pennsylvania was sold in September 2003 for $5.0 million, including $2.7 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $3.9 million was recorded on the sale. Will-O-Hill Apartments in Reading, Pennsylvania was sold in September 2003 for $3.6 million, including $0.8 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $2.2 million was recorded on the sale. The results of operations of these equity method investments and the resultant gains on sales are presented in continuing operations for all periods presented.
In January 2003, we sold a parcel of land located at Crest Plaza Shopping Center located in Allentown, Pennsylvania for $3.2 million. We recognized a gain of $1.1 million in 2003 as a result of this sale.
40
In July 2002, we sold Mandarin Corners shopping center located in Jacksonville, Florida for $16.3 million. We recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $4.1 million.
Development, Expansions and Renovations
We are involved in a number of development and redevelopment projects, which may require funding by us. In each case, we will evaluate the financing opportunitities available to us at the time a project requires funding. In cases where the project is undertaken with a partner, our flexibility in funding the project may be governed by the partnership agreement or the covenants existing in our Credit Facility, which limit our involvement in such projects.
On October 7, 2004, we entered into a binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Valley View Downs, LP (“Valley View”) and Centaur Pennsylvania, LLC (“Centaur”). We and our affiliates do not have any ownership interest in Valley View or Centaur. The MOU contemplates that (i) we will manage the development of a harness racetrack and a casino accommodating up to 3,000 slot machines (such casino operations, “Alternative Gaming”) on an approximately 218 acre site (the “Property”) located 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and (ii) we will acquire the Property and lease the Property to Valley View for the construction and operation of a harness racetrack and an Alternative Gaming casino and related facilities. Valley View currently holds options (the “Options”) to acquire the Property.
Our acquisition of the Property and the construction of the racetrack require the issuance to Valley View of the sole license (the “Racing License”) remaining unissued for a harness racetrack in Pennsylvania, and the construction of the casino requires the issuance to Valley View under the recently enacted Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act of a license for Alternative Gaming. Valley View is not the sole applicant for the remaining harness racing license, and hearings on the applications have only recently begun. We are not able to predict whether or when Valley View will be issued a harness racing license.
Upon execution of the MOU, we paid approximately $1.0 million to Valley View, representing a portion of expenses incurred by or on behalf of Valley View prior to the execution of the MOU. Under their current terms, several Options held by Valley View are expected to expire before a decision is made regarding the issuance of the Racing License. In the event that the Options are not extended to a date after the issuance of the Racing License, Valley View may elect to exercise the Options and acquire the Property. In such event, we will be required to pay to Valley View 20% of the acquisition costs (the “Acquisition Cost”) paid by Valley View. The Acquisition Cost consists of the purchase price payable under the Options of approximately $3.3 million and costs associated with the purchase of the Property. If the Racing License is issued to Valley View after it has acquired the Property, Valley View will transfer the Property to us, and we will pay to Valley View an amount equal to the Acquisition Cost less the 20% portion of the Acquisition Cost previously paid by us. If, due to the extension of the Options or otherwise, the Racing License is issued to Valley View prior to the exercise of the Options, the Options will be assigned to us and we, at the direction of Valley View, will then exercise the Options and acquire the Property for the Acquisition Cost.
Upon our acquisition of the Property, we will enter into a long-term ground lease with Valley View for the Property (the “Lease”). The Lease will obligate Valley View, as lessee, to pay all costs associated with the ownership and operation of the Property. We will pay as a tenant allowance an amount equal to 20% of the costs of such improvements subject to certain limitations, including the limitation that the total of all payments by us will not exceed $10 million. Valley View will also pay us a development fee of $3 million for customary development management services in connection with the development and construction of the racetrack, casino and related improvements.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no material off-balance sheet transactions other than the partnerships described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements and in the "Overview" section above.
41
Guarantees
We and our subsidiaries have guaranteed the Credit Facility, which had $271.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2004.
Tax Protection Agreements
We have provided
tax protection of up to approximately $5.0 million related to the August
1998 acquisition of the Woods Apartments for a period of eight years ending
in August 2006. Because the Woods Apartments were sold in connection with
the disposition of the multifamily portfolio and because that transaction
was treated as a tax-free exchange in connection with the acquisition of
Exton Square Mall, The Gallery at Market East I and Moorestown Mall from
The Rouse Company, we are now obligated to provide tax protection to the
former owner of the Woods Apartments if we sell any of Exton Square Mall,
The Gallery at Market East I or Moorestown Mall prior to August 2006.

In connection
with the Merger, we entered into a tax protection agreement with Mark
E. Pasquerilla and entities affiliated with Mr. Pasquerilla (the "Pasquerilla
Group"). Under this tax protection agreement, we agreed not to dispose
of certain protected properties acquired in the Merger in a taxable transaction
until November 20, 2011 or, if earlier, until the Pasquerilla Group collectively
owns less than 25% of the aggregate of the shares and OP Units that they
acquired in the merger. If we violate the tax protection agreement during
the first five years of the protection period, we would owe as damages
the sum of the hypothetical tax owed by the Pasquerilla Group, plus an
amount intended to make the Pasquerilla Group whole for taxes that may
be due upon receipt of those damages. From the end of the first five years
through the end of the tax protection period, damages are intended to
compensate the affected parties for interest expense incurred on amounts
borrowed to pay the taxes incurred on the prohibited sale. If we were
to sell properties in violation of the tax protection agreement, the amounts
that we would be required to pay to the Pasquerilla Group could be substantial.
Following the Merger, Mr. Pasquerilla joined our board of trustees.
|
We have agreed to provide tax protection related to our acquisition of Cumberland Mall Associates and New Castle Associates to the prior owners of Cumberland Mall Associates and New Castle Associates, respectively, for a period of eight years following the respective closings. Ronald Rubin and George Rubin are beneficiaries of these tax protection agreements.
We have not entered into any other guarantees or tax protection agreements in connection with our merger, acquisition or disposal activities.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
General
PRI provides management, leasing and development services for 12 properties owned by partnerships in which certain officers and trustees of the Company and PRI have indirect ownership interests. Total revenues earned by PRI for such services were $2.0 million, $4.2 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The 2003 amount includes the $2.0 million brokerage fee received in connection with the sale of Christiana Mall. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was due from these partnerships. Of these amounts, approximately $0.1 million was collected subsequent to December 31, 2004. PRI holds a note receivable from a related party with a balance of $0.1 million that is due in installments through 2010 and bears an interest rate of 10% per annum.
We lease our principal executive offices from Bellevue Associates (the “Landlord”), an entity in which certain of our officers and trustees have an interest. Total rent expense under this lease was $1.4 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin, collectively with members of their immediate families, own approximately a 50% interest in the Landlord.
42
On September 22, 2004, we entered into a Second Amendment, effective June 1, 2004, to the Office Lease (as amended, the “Office Lease”) with the Landlord. Among other things, the amendment extends our rentable space under the Office Lease to a total of approximately 68,100 square feet, which includes approximately 42,700 square feet we had previously leased from the Landlord, approximately 15,400 square feet we had previously subleased from another tenant, and approximately 10,000 square feet of new space. The term of the Office Lease is 10 years, commencing November 1, 2004. We have the option to renew the lease for up to two additional five year periods at the then-current fair market rate calculated in accordance with the terms of the Office Lease. In addition, we have the right on one occasion at any time during the seventh lease year to terminate the Office Lease upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Effective June 1, 2004, our base rent is $1.4 million per year during the first five years of the Office Lease and $1.5 million per year during the second five years.
We use an airplane in which Ronald Rubin owns a fractional interest. We paid $0.1 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 for flight time used by employees on Company-related business.
As of December 31, 2004, 12 of our officers had employment agreements with terms of up to three years that renew automatically for additional one-year terms and provided for aggregate base compensation for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $3.7 million, subject to increases as approved by our compensation committee in future years, as well as additional incentive compensation.
Acquisition of The Rubin Organization
Our 1997 acquisition of The Rubin Organization entitled the former affiliates of The Rubin Organization (including Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin and several of our other executive officers, the "TRO Affiliates") to receive up to 800,000 additional OP Units based on our funds from operations for the five-year period beginning September 30, 1997. All 665,000 units attributable to the period beginning September 30, 1997 and ending December 31, 2001 were issued to the TRO Affiliates. The determination regarding the remaining 135,000 OP Units attributable to the period from January 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 was deferred until March 2004. In March 2004, a special committee of disinterested members of our board of trustees (the "Special TRO Committee") determined that 76,622 of these 135,000 OP Units should be issued. Because the issuance of these units was deferred until March 2004, we also paid to the TRO Affiliates $0.3 million in cash in respect of distributions that would have been paid on the OP Units, plus interest. The fair market value of the OP Units and the portion of the cash payment that represented distributions were recorded as a $3.0 million increase to goodwill. The portion of the cash payment that represented interest of $0.1 million was recorded as interest expense.
The TRO Affiliates also were eligible to receive additional OP Units in respect of our payment for certain development and predevelopment properties acquired as part of our acquisition of The Rubin Organization. In December 2003, in exchange for the remaining 11% interest in a parcel related to Northeast Tower Center (one of the development properties), Ronald Rubin received 4,552 OP Units and George F. Rubin received 1,738 OP Units. The fair market value of the OP Units was recorded as a $0.1 million increase to investment in real estate. In March 2004, the Special TRO Committee determined that 37,549 OP Units should be issued to the TRO Affiliates in respect of the development properties. Because the issuance of these OP Units was deferred until March 2004, we also paid to the TRO Affiliates $0.4 million in cash in respect of distributions that would have been paid on the OP Units from the completion date of the applicable property through March 25, 2004, plus interest. The fair market value of the OP Units and the portion of the cash payment that represented distributions were recorded as a $1.7 million increase to investment in real estate. The portion of the cash payment that represented interest of $0.1 million was recorded as interest expense. Also, in March 2004, the Special TRO Committee determined that 165,739 OP Units were issuable to the TRO Affiliates in respect of the predevelopment properties. Because the issuance of these OP Units was deferred until March 2004, we also paid to the TRO Affiliates $1.6 million in cash in respect of distributions that would have been paid on the OP Units from the completion date of the applicable development of the property through March 25, 2004, plus interest. The fair market value of the OP Units and the portion of the cash payment that represented distributions were recorded as a $4.6 million increase to investment in real estate and a $2.9 million increase to investment in partnerships. The portion of the cash payment that represented interest of $0.2 million was recorded as interest expense.
In connection with the Special TRO Committee's determinations to issue the OP Units and make the cash payments in March 2004 as described above, the following former TRO affiliates who are officers of the Company received the following consideration: (1) Ronald Rubin received 104,282 OP Units and $819,561 in cash; (2) George F. Rubin received 46,336 OP Units and $362,535 in cash; (3) Joseph F. Coradino received 19,133 OP Units and $150,105 in cash; (4) Edward A. Glickman received 11,272 OP Units and $87,792 in cash; (5) Douglas S. Grayson received 5,529 OP Units and $42,920 in cash; and (6) David J. Bryant received 1,277 OP Units and $59,772 in cash ($50,000 of which was allocated to Mr. Bryant by the TRO Affiliates for his services on behalf of the TRO Affiliates in connection with the determination of the final payments). The TRO Affiliates have agreed in writing that they are not entitled to any additional consideration in respect of our acquisition of The Rubin Organization.
43
Acquisition of New Castle Associates
Ronald Rubin and George Rubin, through their ownership interest in New Castle Associates, also were parties to the Rouse transaction described in "Acquisitions, Dispositions and Development Activities Additional 2003 Acquisitions," and are entitled to the benefits of the tax protection agreement described above in “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.”
Crown Merger
Mark E. Pasquerilla, who was elected as a trustee of the Company following the Merger, had a substantial ownership interest in Crown and its operating partnership and, as a consequence of the Merger, directly or indirectly received a significant number of OP Units and shares of the Company. In addition, Mr. Pasquerilla is a party to several continuing arrangements with us, including the right to receive additional consideration related to the Merger as described in "Commitments," as well as the following:
| a contract for information technology and tax support services to us by an entity controlled by Mr. Pasquerilla, which is substantially complete; and a lease with an entity controlled by Mr. Pasquerilla for space in Crown's former headquarters in connection with our post-closing transition activities, which now covers only a small amount of space. We paid $0.3 million and $0.1 million for these services in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In the third quarter of 2004, after obtaining the review and approval of our independent trustees, we sold certain personal property in Crown's former headquarters to an entity controlled by Mr. Pasquerilla for approximately $0.4 million. We did not recognize any gain or loss on the sale of the personal property; | |
| the tax protection agreement described above in "Off Balance Sheet Arrangements"; | |
| agreements by Mr. Pasquerilla not to acquire additional shares or to seek to acquire control of us within specified time periods and to forfeit certain benefits under the tax protection agreement upon selling shares within specified time periods or in excess of specified amounts; and | |
| a registration rights agreement covering the shares acquired and to be acquired by Mr. Pasquerilla in connection with the Merger, an agreement by Mr. Pasquerilla not to compete with us for a period of time following the Merger and an agreement to allow Mr. Pasquerilla and his affiliates to use certain intellectual property and domain names associated with the Crown name and logo. |
Acquisition of Cumberland Mall
In February 2005, we acquired the Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey. The total purchase price was approximately $59.5 million, which included approximately $47.7 million in mortgage debt secured by Cumberland Mall. The remaining portion of the purchase price included approximately $11.0 million in OP Units, which were valued based on the average of the closing price of our common shares on the ten consecutive trading days immediately before the closing date of the transaction. In a related transaction, we acquired a vacant 1.7 acre land parcel adjacent to Cumberland Mall for approximately $0.9 million in cash, which we have included in the aggregate $59.5 million purchase price.
PRI has managed and leased Cumberland Mall since 1997. Ronald Rubin and George Rubin controlled and had substantial ownership interests in Cumberland Mall Associates (a New Jersey limited partnership that owns Cumberland Mall) and the entity that owned the adjacent undeveloped parcel. Accordingly, a committee of non-management trustees evaluated the transactions on our behalf. The committee obtained an independent appraisal and found the purchase price to be fair to us. The committee also approved the reduction of the fee payable by Cumberland Mall Associates to PRI under the existing management agreement upon the sale of the mall from 3% of the purchase price to 1% of the purchase price. Our Board of Trustees also approved the transaction.
We have agreed to provide tax protection related to the acquisition of Cumberland Mall Associates to the prior owners of Cumberland Mall Associates, including Ronald Rubin and George Rubin, for a period of eight years following the closing, as described above in “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.”
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") disclosure guidance for "Critical Accounting Policies," the SEC defines Critical Accounting Policies as those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors,
44
in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. The estimates and assumptions made by our management in applying its critical accounting policies have not changed materially during 2004, 2003 and 2002, except as otherwise noted, and none of these estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods. We will continue to monitor the key factors underlying our estimates and judgements, but no change is currently expected. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
Our management makes complex and/or subjective assumptions and judgments with respect to applying its critical accounting policies. In making these judgments and assumptions, management considers, among other factors:
| events and changes in property, market and economic conditions; |
| estimated future cash flows from property operations, and; |
| the risk of loss on specific accounts or amounts. |
Revenue Recognition
We derive over 95% of our revenues from tenant rents and other tenant related activities. Tenant rents include base rents, percentage rents, expense reimbursements (such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and utilities), amortization of above- and below-market intangibles and straight-line rents. We record base rents on a straight-line basis, which means that the monthly base rent income according to the terms of our leases with tenants is adjusted so that an average monthly rent is recorded for each tenant over the term of its lease. The difference between base rent and straight-line rent is a non-cash increase or decrease to rental income. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $4.9 million in 2004, $2.6 million in 2003 and $0.8 million in 2002. The significant increases in 2004 and 2003 were due to property acquisitions. Amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles decreased revenue by $0.7 million in 2004, $0.4 million in 2003 and $0.1 million in 2002, respectively, as described below under "Intangible Assets."
Percentage rents represent rental income that the tenant pays based on a percentage of its sales. Tenants that pay percentage rent usually pay in one of two ways, either a percentage of their total sales or a percentage of sales over a certain threshold. In the latter case, we do not record percentage rent until the sales threshold has been reached. Revenues for rents received from tenants prior to their due dates are deferred until the period to which the rents apply.
In addition to base rents, certain lease agreements contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse a pro rata share of real estate taxes and certain common area maintenance costs. Expense reimbursement payments generally are made monthly based on a budgeted amount determined at the beginning of the year. During the year, our income increases or decreases based on actual expense levels and changes in other factors that influence the reimbursement amounts, such as occupancy levels. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, we accrued income of $5.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, because reimbursable expense levels were greater than amounts billed. Shortly after the end of the year, we prepare a reconciliation of the actual amounts due from tenants. The difference between the actual amount due and the amounts paid by the tenant throughout the year is billed or credited to the tenant, depending on whether the tenant paid too little or too much during the year. Lease termination fee income is recognized in the period when a termination agreement is signed and we are no longer obligated to provide space to the tenant. In the event that a tenant is in bankruptcy when the termination agreement is signed, termination fee income is deferred and recognized when it is received.
Our other source of revenue comes from the provision of management services to third parties, including property management, brokerage, leasing and development. Management fees generally are a percentage of managed property revenues or cash receipts. Leasing fees are earned upon the consummation of new leases. Development fees are earned over the time period of the development activity. These activities collectively are referred to as "management company revenue" in the consolidated statement of income.
Real Estate
Land, buildings and fixtures and tenant improvements are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renovations and/or replacements, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
45
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings | 30-50 years | |
Land Improvements | 15 years | |
Furniture/Fixtures | 3-10 years | |
Tenant Improvements | Lease term |
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful life of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties based on various factors, including industry standards, historical experience and the condition of the asset at the time of acquisition. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income. If we were to determine that a longer expected useful life was appropriate for a particular asset, it would be depreciated over more years, and, other things being equal, result in less annual depreciation expense and higher annual net income.
Assessment of certain other lease related costs must be made when we have a reason to believe that the tenant may not be able to perform under the terms of the lease as originally expected. This requires us to make estimates as to the recoverability of such assets.
Gains from sales of real estate properties and interests in partnerships generally are recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Real Estate Sales," provided that various criteria are met relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by us with the properties sold.
Intangible Assets
We account for our property acquisitions under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, the purchase price of a property is allocated to the property's assets based on our estimates of their fair value. The determination of the fair value of intangible assets requires significant estimates by management and considers many factors, including our expectations about the underlying property and the general market conditions in which the property operates. The judgment and subjectivity inherent in such assumptions can have a significant impact on the magnitude of the intangible assets that we record.
SFAS No. 141 provides guidance on allocating a portion of the purchase price of a property to intangible assets. Our methodology for this allocation includes estimating an "as-if vacant" fair value of the physical property, which is allocated to land, building and improvements. The difference between the purchase price and the "as-if vacant" fair value is allocated to intangible assets. There are three categories of intangible assets to be considered: (i) value of in-place leases, (ii) above- and below-market value of in-place leases and (iii) customer relationship value.
The value of in-place leases is estimated based on the value associated with the costs avoided in originating leases comparable to the acquired in-place leases, as well as the value associated with lost rental revenue during the assumed lease-up period. The value of in-place leases is amortized as real estate amortization over the estimated weighted-average remaining lease lives. We generally use a weighted-average life of seven years for this purpose.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimates of fair market lease rates for the comparable in-place leases, based on factors including historical experience, recently executed transactions and specific property issues, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The value of above-market lease values is amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of below-market lease values is amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any below-market renewal period.
46
We allocate no value to customer relationship intangibles if we have pre-existing business relationships with the major retailers in the acquired property because the customer relationships associated with the properties acquired provide no incremental value over our existing relationships.
The following table presents our intangible assets and liabilities, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

(1) In accordance with SFAS No.144 (see below), in-place lease intangibles of properties held-for-sale are not amortized.
Assets Held-for-Sale and Discontinued Operations
We generally consider assets to be held-for-sale when the sale transaction has been approved by the appropriate level of management and there are no known material contingencies relating to the sale such that the sale is probable within one year. The determination to classify an asset as held-for-sale requires significant estimates by us about the property and the expected market for the property, which are based on factors including recent sales of comparable properties, recent expressions of interest in the property, financial metrics of the property and the condition of the property. We must also determine if it will be possible under those market conditions to sell the property for an acceptable price within one year. When assets are identified by management as held-for-sale, we discontinue depreciating the assets and estimate the sales price, net of selling costs of such assets. If, in our opinion, the net sales price of the assets that have been identified as held-for-sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Accordingly, the results of operations of operating properties classified as held-for-sale after January 1, 2002 (the date on which we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed of " ("SFAS No. 144") ) are reflected as discontinued operations.
We continue to classify Schuylkill Mall as held-for-sale because we are still actively marketing the property, and we expect to sell it in 2005.
Properties that we have sold for which we have no significant continuing involvement also are reflected as discontinued operations.
Asset Impairment
Real estate investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired only if our estimate of the aggregate future cash flows to be generated by the property undiscounted and without interest charges are less than the carrying value of the property. This estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In addition, these estimates may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.
The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by us, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in the anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact our net income. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.
We conduct an annual review of goodwill balances for impairment and to determine whether any adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill is required.
48
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to tenant rents including base rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, we make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the time required to reach an ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income, other things being equal. In 2004, we increased our reserve on straight-line rentals from 5% to 15% because the consolidated straight-line rent receivable balance increased significantly after the Merger and the other 2004 and 2003 acquisitions took place, and because we determined that there was a greater risk associated with these amounts due to various property and industry factors.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Credit Facility
In February 2005, we amended our unsecured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The $500 million Credit Facility, which replaced a $200 million secured credit facility in November 2003, can be increased to $650 million under prescribed conditions. Under the amended terms, the Credit Facility bears interest at a rate between 1.05% and 1.55% per annum over LIBOR based on our leverage. In determining our leverage, the capitalization rate used under the amended terms to calculate Gross Asset Value is 8.25%. The availability of funds under the Credit Facility is subject to our compliance with financial and other covenants and agreements, some of which are described below. The Credit Facility has positioned us with substantial liquidity to fund our business plan and to pursue strategic opportunities as they arise. The Credit Facility has a term that expires in November 2007, with an additional 14 month extension provided that there is no event of default at that time. In 2005, we used $55.0 million from the Credit Facility to repay interest and principal outstanding on a second mortgage at Cherry Hill Mall. In 2004, we used $25.0 million and $123.0 million from the Credit Facility to purchase The Gallery at Market East II and Orlando Fashion Square, respectively, and $30.0 million to repay the mortgage on Wiregrass Commons. Also in 2004, we repaid $107.0 million of the then outstanding amount under the Credit Facility from the proceeds from the sale of five Non-Core Properties. In 2003, we used $170.0 million from the Credit Facility to repay all of the $154.9 million of outstanding indebtedness under Crown's credit facility with GE Capital Corporation, including approximately $0.2 million of accrued interest, and to pay certain closing costs in connection with the Merger. At December 31, 2004, $271.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, and we pledged $8.1 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for six letters of credit. The unused portion of the Credit Facility available to us was $220.9 million as of December 31, 2004.
Under the Credit Facility, we must repay the entire principal amount outstanding at the end of the term. We may prepay any revolving loan at any time without premium or penalty. Accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Credit Facility is payable monthly, and any unpaid amount is payable at the end of the term. The Credit Facility has a facility fee of 0.15% to 0.20% per annum of the total commitments, depending on leverage and without regard to usage. The Credit Facility contains some lender yield protection provisions related to LIBOR loans. PREIT Associates, L.P., our operating partnership, and certain of its subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations arising under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in facilities of this type, as well as requirements that we maintain, on a consolidated basis (all capitalized terms used in this paragraph shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement): (1) a minimum Tangible Net Worth of not less than 80% of the Tangible Net Worth of the Company as of December 31, 2003 plus 75% of the Net Proceeds of all Equity Issuances effected at any time after December 31, 2003 by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries minus the carrying value attributable to any Preferred Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary redeemed after December 31, 2003; (2) a maximum ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value of 0.65:1; (3) a minimum ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.90:1; (4) a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges of 1.50:1; (5) maximum Investments in unimproved real estate not in excess of 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (6) maximum Investments in Persons other than Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (7) maximum Investments in Indebtedness secured by Mortgages in favor of the Company or any other Subsidiary, not in
49
excess of 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (8) maximum Investments in Subsidiaries that are not Wholly-owned Subsidiaries and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (9) maximum Investments subject to the limitations in the preceding clauses (5) through (8) not in excess of 15.0% of Gross Asset Value; (10) a maximum Gross Asset Value attributable to any one Property not in excess of 15.0% of Gross Asset Value; (11) a maximum Total Budgeted Cost Until Stabilization for all properties under development not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (12) an aggregate amount of projected rentable square footage of all development properties subject to binding leases of not less than 50% of the aggregate amount of projected rentable square footage of all such development properties; (13) a maximum Floating Rate Indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not in excess of one-third of all Indebtedness of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Unconsolidated Affiliates; (14) a maximum ratio of Secured Indebtedness of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Unconsolidated Affiliates to Gross Asset Value of 0.60:1; (15) a maximum ratio of recourse Secured Indebtedness of the Borrower or Guarantors to Gross Asset Value of 0.25:1; and (16) a minimum ratio of EBITDA to Indebtedness of 0.130:1. As of December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all of these debt covenants.
Upon the expiration of any applicable cure period following an event of default, the lenders may declare all obligations of the Company in connection with the Credit Facility immediately due and payable, and the commitments of the lenders to make further loans under the Credit Facility will terminate. Upon the occurrence of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of the Company, PREIT Associates, L.P. or any material subsidiary, all outstanding amounts will automatically become immediately due and payable and the commitments of the lenders to make further loans will automatically terminate.
Mortgage Financing Activity
In February 2005, we repaid a $59.0 million second mortgage on Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey using $55.0 million from the Credit Facility.
In December 2004, we completed a modification of the mortgage on Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, Pennsylvania. The modification limits the monthly payments to interest plus any excess cash flow from the property after deducting management fees, leasing commissions and lender-approved capital expenditures. Monthly excess cash flow will accumulate throughout the year in escrow, and an annual principal payment will be made on the last day of each year from this account. All other terms of the loan, including the interest rate of 7.25%, remained unchanged.
In November 2004, we used borrowings under the Credit Facility to repay the $30 million mortgage on Wiregrass Commons in Dothan, Alabama.
West Manchester Mall and Martinsburg Mall had served as part of the collateral pool that secures a mortgage with GE Capital Corporation. In connection with the closing of the sale of the Non-Core Properties, these properties were released from the collateral pool and replaced by Northeast Tower Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Jacksonville Mall in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
In June 2003, we refinanced the mortgage note payable secured by Moorestown Mall, in Moorestown, New Jersey. The $64.3 million mortgage has a 10-year term and bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.95% per annum. The proceeds from the borrowings secured by the mortgage were used to repay the previously existing mortgage note secured by Moorestown Mall and to fund a portion of the purchase price for Plymouth Meeting Mall in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and Echelon Mall in Voorhees, New Jersey.
In May 2003, we entered into a mortgage note payable secured by Dartmouth Mall, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. The $70.0 million mortgage has a 10-year term and bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.95% per annum. The proceeds from the borrowings secured by the mortgage were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for Plymouth Meeting Mall and Echelon Mall.
In March 2002, the mortgage on Camp Hill Plaza Apartments in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, was refinanced. The $12.8 million mortgage had a 10-year term and a fixed interest rate of 7.02% per annum. In connection with the refinancing, unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.1 million were written off and reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2002. This property was sold in 2003.
Acquisition Credit Facility
In 2003, we financed a significant part of the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of six malls from Rouse through an unsecured credit facility (the "Acquisition Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo, National Association ("Wells Fargo"). The Acquisition Credit Facility included a $175 million term loan and a $25 million unsecured revolving line of credit. We applied a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale of our multifamily portfolio to repay in full all amounts borrowed under the Acquisition Credit Facility as of July 25, 2003, and the revolving line of credit expired by its terms on October 27, 2003. The fees paid to Wells Fargo for the term loan and the revolving line of credit were $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
50
Equity Offering
In August 2003, we issued 6,325,000 common shares in a public offering at $29.75 per share. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $183.9 million after deducting payment of the underwriting discount of $0.25 per share and offering expenses. We used approximately $45.5 million of the net proceeds for the Willow Grove Park acquisition; approximately $13.5 million for the IKEA acquisition; $94.9 million to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facility; and the remainder for working capital purposes.
Capital Resources
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our available working capital and net cash provided by operations. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make any distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The aggregate distributions made to common shareholders in 2004 were $77.8 million. In addition, we believe that net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to permit us to pay the $13.6 million of annual dividends payable on the preferred shares issued in connection with the Merger. We also believe that the foregoing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. The following are some of the risks that could impact our cash flows and require the funding of future distributions, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and/or leasing commissions with sources other than operating cash flows:
| unexpected changes in operations that could result from the integration of the properties acquired in 2004 and 2003; |
| increase in tenant bankruptcies reducing revenue and operating cash flows; |
| increase in interest expenses as a result of borrowing incurred in order to finance long-term capital requirements such as property and portfolio acquisitions; |
| increase in interest rates affecting our net cost of borrowing; |
| increase in insurance premiums and/or our portion of claims; |
| eroding market conditions in one or more of our primary geographic regions adversely affecting property operating cash flows; and |
| disputes with tenants over common area maintenance and other charges. |
We expect to meet certain long-term capital requirements such as property and portfolio acquisitions, expenses associated with acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities. We expect to have capital expenditures relating to leasing and property improvements in 2005 of approximately $90.9 million. In general, when the credit markets are tight, we may encounter resistance from lenders when we seek financing or refinancing for properties or proposed acquisitions. The following are some of the potential impediments to accessing additional funds under the Credit Facility:
| constraining leverage covenants under the Credit Facility; |
| increased interest rates affecting coverage ratios; and |
| reduction in our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) affecting coverage ratios. |
In December 2003, we announced that the SEC had declared effective a $500 million universal shelf registration statement. We may use the shelf registration to offer and sell shares of beneficial interest, preferred shares and various types of debt securities, among other types of securities, to the public. However, we may be unable to issue securities under the shelf registration statement, or otherwise, on terms that are favorable to us, if at all.
51
Mortgage Notes
Mortgage notes payable, which are secured by 29 of our wholly-owned properties, including one property classified as held-for-sale, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2013, with interest at rates ranging from 4.95% to 10.60% and a weighted average interest rate of 7.28% at December 31, 2004. Mortgage notes payable for properties classified as discontinued operations are accounted for in liabilities of assets held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The following table outlines the timing of principal payments related to our mortgage notes (in thousands of dollars):

We have one property, Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, Pennsylvania, classified as held-for-sale. In December 2004, as noted above, we completed a modification of the mortgage on Schuylkill Mall. The modification limits the monthly payments to interest plus any excess cash flow from the property after deducting management fees, leasing commissions and lender-approved capital expenditures. Monthly excess cash flow will accumulate throughout the year in escrow, and an annual principal payment will be made on the last day of each year from this account. All other terms of the loan, including the interest rate of 7.25%, remained unchanged. Due to the modification, the timing of future principal payment amounts cannot be determined and, consequently, are not included in the above table. The mortgage expires in December 2008, and had a balance of $17.4 million at December 31, 2004.
In connection with the Merger, we assumed from Crown approximately $443.8 million of a first mortgage loan secured by a portfolio of 15 properties. The anticipated repayment date is September 2008, at which time the loan can be prepaid without penalty. This amount is included in the "3-5 Years" column.

Commitments Related to Development and Redevelopment |
We intend to invest approximately $65 million over the next two years in connection with the four redevelopment projects announced to date (Capital City Mall, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania; Echelon Mall, Voorhees, New Jersey; New River Valley Mall, Christiansburg, Virginia; and Patrick Henry Mall, Newport News, Virginia). We also intend to invest significant additional amounts in additional redevelopment projects over that period. |
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Years Ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
Overview
The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 show significant fluctuations due primarily to the acquisition and disposition of real estate properties during the respective periods. In 2004, we acquired two retail properties and the remaining interest in Cherry Hill Mall that we did not already own, and disposed of five of the Non-Core Properties. In 2003, we acquired 32 retail properties plus the remaining partnership interests in two other properties. Also in 2003, we disposed of our multifamily portfolio, consisting of 15 wholly-owned properties and partnership interests in four other properties. In 2002, we acquired one retail property and additional partnership interests in two other properties (one retail and one multifamily). Accordingly, our prior results are not necessarily indicative of expected future results. Our results of operations include property operating results starting on the date on which each property was acquired.
The amounts reflected as income from continuing operations in the table presented below reflect our wholly-owned and consolidated partnership retail and industrial properties, with the exception of the retail properties that meet the classification of discontinued operations. Our wholly-owned multifamily properties' operations are included in discontinued operations. Our unconsolidated partnerships are presented under the equity method of accounting in the line item “Equity in income of partnerships.”
The following information summarizes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

Real Estate Revenues
Real estate revenues increased by $225.0 million, or 132%, in 2004 as compared to 2003 primarily due to property acquisitions. We record real estate revenues starting on the date on which each property was acquired. The properties acquired in the Merger, which were acquired during the fourth quarter of 2003, provided $162.4 million of additional real estate revenues in 2004. Revenues related to the properties acquired from The Rouse Company, which were acquired during the second quarter of 2003, provided $36.6 million of additional revenues in 2004. Willow Grove Park provided $15.6 million of additional revenues in 2004. We acquired our partner’s interest in Willow Grove Park during the third quarter of 2003. The Gallery at Market East II, acquired during the second quarter of 2004, provided $4.9 million of real estate revenues in 2004. Orlando Fashion Square, acquired during the fourth quarter of 2004, provided $1.5 million of real estate revenues in 2004. Real estate revenues from properties that were owned by the Company prior to January 1, 2003 increased by $4.0 million primarily due to increases of $1.6 million in base rents, $1.0 million in expense reimbursements and $1.4 million in lease termination income.
Real estate revenues increased by $107.2 million, or 169%, in 2003 as compared to 2002 primarily due to property acquisitions. Revenues related to the properties acquired from The Rouse Company provided $70.2 million of real estate revenues in 2003. In addition, the properties acquired in the Merger provided $23.2 million of real estate revenues and Willow Grove Park provided $8.7 million of real estate revenues in 2003. Real estate revenues from Beaver Valley Mall increased by $2.9 million in 2003, which was our first full year of ownership, as compared to revenues in 2002 that reflected only eight months of operations. Real estate revenues from properties that we owned for the full years of 2003 and 2002 increased by $2.2 million due to new and renewal leases at higher rates in 2003 and due to a 2003 increase in expense reimbursements, which comprise a component of real estate revenues, resulting from an increase in reimbursable property operating expenses.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased by $84.9 million, or 143%, in 2004 as compared to 2003 primarily due to property acquisitions. We record property operating expenses starting on the date on which each property was acquired. Property operating expenses related to the properties acquired in the Merger were $59.5 million greater in 2004 compared to 2003. Property operating expenses related to the properties acquired from The Rouse Company were $16.3 million greater in 2004 compared to 2003. Property operating expenses related to Willow Grove Park were $5.3 million greater in 2004 compared to 2003. Property operating expenses related to The Gallery at Market East II and Orlando Fashion Square were $2.0 million and $0.6 million in 2004, respectively. Property operating expenses for properties that we acquired prior to January 1, 2003 increased by $1.2 million, primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense of $0.4 million, an increase in payroll expense of $0.3 million, an increase in real estate tax expense of $0.3 million and a $0.2 million increase in repairs and maintenance expense.
Property operating expenses increased by $43.1 million, or 265%, in 2003 as compared to 2002 primarily due to property acquisitions. Property operating expenses related to the properties acquired from The Rouse Company were $30.0 million in 2003. Property operating expenses related to the properties acquired in the Merger were $7.4 million in 2003 and property operating expenses related to Willow Grove Park were $3.0 million in 2003. Property operating expenses for Beaver Valley Mall increased by $1.2 million in 2003, our first full year of ownership. Property operating expenses for properties that we owned for the full years of 2003 and 2002 increased in 2003 by $1.5 million due to higher repair and maintenance, real estate tax and payroll expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
In 2004, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 13%, compared to 2003. Corporate payroll and benefits increased by $6.9 million, which included $2.6 million from transitional employees related to our merger and acquisition activities, $2.1 million related to increased incentive compensation and an executive long-term incentive plan, and $6.5 million due to annual salary increases, additional employees and increased benefits expenses. These increases were offset by a decrease of $4.3 million of merger related bonuses that did not recur in 2004. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.9 million, which primarily included $2.1 million from other costs related to the Merger and $0.9 million decrease in professional fees, offset by increases in convention expenses of $0.5 million and gift certificate program expenses of $0.6 million.
In 2003, general and administrative expenses increased by $15.4 million, or 63%, including $4.3 million from incentive compensation and $2.1 million in other costs related to the Merger, for a total of $6.4 million from merger and other acquisition expenses. Corporate payroll and benefits increased by $7.4 million due to the aforementioned $4.3 million from incentive compensation related to our merger and acquisition activities, $2.0 million related to an executive long-term incentive plan, and $1.1 million due to annual salary and benefit increases and additional employees. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $8.0 million, including the aforementioned merger expenses of $2.1 million, transitional office expenses of $1.5 million, fees to terminate interest rate swap agreements of $1.2 million, increases in legal and accounting fees of $1.1 million, increases in shareholder relations costs of $0.5 million, increases in leasing convention expenses of $0.6 million and increases of $1.0 million in miscellaneous expenses.
54
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $37.0 million, or 105%, in 2004 as compared to 2003. We assumed new mortgages in connection with the Merger in November 2003, resulting in an increase of $26.2 million for 2004. Also, interest expense increased by $11.1 million because we recognized a full year of interest expense relating to mortgages assumed relating to our other 2003 acquisitions, and the new mortgages at Moorestown Mall and Dartmouth Mall. These mortgage interest increases were offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in interest paid on mortgages that were outstanding during all of the 2004 and 2003 due to principal amortization. Bank loan interest increased by $3.1 million in 2004 due to higher interest rates and weighted average borrowings. These increases were offset by a $2.0 million decrease in interest related to hedging activities (we did not have any hedging activity in 2004), a decrease in deferred financing fees of $1.3 million from 2003 and an increase in capitalized interest of $0.1 million.
Interest expense increased by $19.9 million, or 130%, in 2003 as compared to 2002. We assumed new mortgages in connection with the Merger, the purchases of a majority interest in Cherry Hill Mall and Exton Square Mall, and inherited a mortgage related to Willow Grove Park in connection with our acquisition of our former partner's interest in that property, resulting in additional mortgage interest expense of $14.3 million in 2003. We engaged in mortgage financing transactions at Moorestown Mall and Dartmouth Mall, resulting in increased interest expenses of $4.1 million in 2003. Mortgage interest on Beaver Valley Mall increased by $0.8 million in 2003, our first full year of ownership. Bank loan interest increased $0.8 million due to a $1.8 million increase in amortization of deferred financing fees and a $0.8 million increase in interest related to the Acquisition Credit Facility offset by a $1.8 million decrease due to lower weighted-average outstanding debt balances under our credit facilities in 2003. Increased monthly principal payments reduced amounts outstanding under mortgages that were outstanding in 2003 and 2002, and resulted in an interest expense reduction of $0.1 million.
Amortization of debt premiums was $18.7 million, $5.9 million and $0.6 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increases in 2004 and 2003 amortization expense were due to property acquisitions in which we assumed mortgage debt with above-market interest rates. We record debt premiums in order to recognize the fair value of debt assumed in connection with property acquisitions. Debt premiums are amortized over the remaining term of the debt instrument with which they are associated, and result in a non-cash decrease in interest expense.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $59.2 million, or 155%, in 2004 as compared to 2003 primarily due to $58.3 million related to new properties, including $23.1 million relating to amortization of value of in-place leases. Depreciation and amortization expense from properties that we owned prior to January 1, 2003 increased by $0.5 million primarily due to a higher asset base resulting from capital improvements to those properties. Corporate depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.4 million due to a higher asset base resulting from capital additions and leasehold improvements.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $24.7 million, or 184%, in 2003 as compared to 2002 primarily due to $20.9 million related to new properties (including $6.1 million relating to amortization of value of in-place leases) and $3.8 million due to a higher property asset base resulting from capital additions and leasehold improvements.
Equity in Income of Partnerships
Equity in income of partnerships decreased by $1.6 million, or 22%, in 2004 as compared to 2003. Approximately $1.1 million of this decrease was due to a cumulative depreciation adjustment that was made by our partner (the property’s manager) to reflect depreciation expense appropriately after a previous depreciation expense understatement of $0.3 million in each of 2004, 2003 and 2002, and $0.2 million in 2001. The remaining decrease was primarily due to the sale of Rio Grande Mall in August 2004.
55
Gains on Sales of Interests in Real Estate
In 2004, we sold our interest in Rio Grande Mall for a gain of $1.5 million. There was no gain or loss on the sale of the five Non-Core Properties.
In 2003, we sold our equity partnership interests in four multifamily properties for a total gain of $15.1 million (gains from sales of wholly-owned multifamily properties sold in 2003 are reflected in discontinued operations, discussed below). We also sold a land parcel at the Crest Plaza Shopping Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania for a gain of $1.1 million.
We had no sales of interests in real estate in 2002.
Discontinued Operations
Property operating results, gains on sales of discontinued operations and related minority interest for the properties in discontinued operations for the periods presented were as follows:

The Non-Core Properties were acquired in the Merger in November 2003. Five of these properties were sold in September 2004. The sixth property remains held for sale.
The decrease in multifamily operating results in 2003 was due to the sale of the wholly-owned multifamily properties portfolio in mid-2003.
NET OPERATING INCOME
Net operating income ("NOI") (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenues (determined in accordance with GAAP) minus property operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP). Net operating income is a non-GAAP measure. It does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income. We believe that net operating income is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. Net operating income excludes general and administrative expenses, management company revenues, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income from discontinued operations and gains on sales of interests in real estate.
56
The following table presents net operating income results for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The results are presented using the "proportionate-consolidation method" (a non-GAAP measure), which presents our share of the results of our partnership investments. Under GAAP, we account for our partnership investments under the equity method of accounting. Property operating results for retail properties that we owned for the full periods presented (“Same Store”) exclude the results of properties that have undergone or were undergoing redevelopment during the applicable periods, as well as properties acquired or disposed of during the periods presented:

The increases in total real estate operating revenues, property operating expenses and net operating income are primarily due to the property acquisitions described above. Same Store revenues increased due to higher base rents and a $1.3 million increase in lease termination fees in 2004 as compared to 2003. Same Store expenses increased due to higher repair and maintenance, real estate tax and payroll expenses.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines Funds From Operations ("FFO"), which is a non-GAAP measure, as income before gains (losses) on sales of properties and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate depreciation; plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.
FFO is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability in the REIT industry, and we use FFO as a supplemental non-GAAP measure to compare our company’s performance to that of our industry peers. In addition, we use FFO as a performance measure for determining bonus amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
FFO does not include gains (losses) on real estate assets, which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as net operating income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO. We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as various non-recurring events that are considered extraordinary under GAAP, gains on sales of real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate.
FFO increased 119.5% to $147.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $67.1 million in 2003. The increase was primarily due to operating results attributable to properties acquired in 2004 and 2003.

CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operating activities was $132.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, $63.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Cash provided by operating activities in 2004 reflects the acquisitions of the Crown and Rouse properties in 2003 and the 2004 acquisitions of The Gallery at Market East II and Orlando Fashion Square.
Cash flows used by investing activities were $103.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $310.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $34.9 million used in 2002. Investing activities in 2004 reflect investment in real estate of $162.4 million, relating to the acquisitions of The Gallery at Market East II, Orlando Fashion Square, and a 25 acre parcel of land in Florence, South Carolina. Investment activities also reflect investment in real estate improvements of $27.1 million and investment in construction in progress of $15.2 million, increase in cash escrows of $4.0 million, capitalized leasing costs of $2.8 million and investment in corporate leasehold improvements of $3.7 million. In 2004, our sources of cash from investing activities included $107.6 million from the sale of five Non-Core Properties and $4.1 million from the sale of our partnership interest in Rio Grande Mall.
Cash flows used by financing activities were $31.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $276.3 million provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $3.8 million used by financing activities in 2002. Cash flows used by financing activities in 2004 were impacted by Credit Facility borrowings of $208.0 million to fund the acquisitions of The Gallery at Market East II and Orlando Fashion Square, the repayment of the Wiregrass Mall mortgage, as well as other working capital requirements. This was offset by Credit Facility repayments of $107.0 million from the net proceeds of the sale of five Non-Core Properties. Cash flows used by financing activities were also impacted by distributions paid of $101.2 million, net shares issued of $17.9 million, principal installments on mortgage notes payable of $18.7 million, and $30.0 million to repay the Wiregrass Mall mortgage.

COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 2004, we had approximately $9.1 million committed to complete current development and redevelopment projects. Total expected costs for projects with such commitments are $75.5 million. We expect to finance these amounts through borrowings under the Credit Facility or through short-term construction loans.
In connection with the Merger, Crown's former operating partnership retained an 11% interest in the capital and 1% interest in the profits of two partnerships that own 12 shopping malls. We consolidate our 89% ownership in these partnerships for financial reporting purposes. The retained interests entitle Crown's former operating partnership to a quarterly cumulative preferred distribution of $184,300 and are subject to a put-call arrangement between Crown's former operating partnership and the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, we have the right to require Crown's former operating partnership to contribute the retained interest to the Company following the 36th month after the closing of the Merger (the closing took place in November 2003) and Crown's former operating partnership has the right to contribute the retained interests to the Company following the 40th month after the closing of the Merger, in each case in exchange for 341,297 additional OP Units. Mark E. Pasquerilla and his affiliates control Crown's former operating partnership.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In June and July, respectively, of 2003, a former administrative employee and a former building engineer of PRI pled guilty to criminal charges related to the misappropriation of funds at a property owned by Independence Blue Cross ("IBC") for which PRI provided certain management services. PRI provided these services from January 1994 to December 2001. The former employees worked under the supervision of the Director of Real Estate for IBC, who earlier pled guilty to criminal charges. Together with other individuals, the former PRI employees and IBC's Director of Real Estate misappropriated funds from IBC through a series of schemes. IBC has estimated its losses at approximately $14 million, and has alleged that PRI is responsible for such losses under the terms of a management agreement. To date, no lawsuit has been filed against PRI. We understand that IBC has recovered $5 million under fidelity policies issued by IBC's insurance carriers. In addition, we understand that several defendants in the criminal proceedings have forfeited assets having an estimated value of approximately $5 million, which have been or will be liquidated by the United States Justice Department and applied toward restitution. The restitution and insurance recoveries result in a significant mitigation of IBC's losses and potential claims against PRI, although PRI may be subject to subrogation claims from IBC's insurance carriers for all or a portion of the amounts paid by them to IBC. We believe that PRI has valid defenses to any potential claims by IBC. PRI has insurance to cover some or all of any potential payments to IBC, and has taken actions to preserve its rights with respect to such insurance. We are unable to estimate or determine the likelihood of any loss to us in connection with these claims.
Our management is aware of certain environmental matters at some of our properties, including ground water contamination, above-normal radon levels, the presence of asbestos containing materials and lead-based paint. We have, in the past, performed remediation of such environmental matters, and our management is not aware of any significant remaining potential liability relating to these environmental matters. We may be required in the future to perform testing relating to these matters. Although our management does not expect these matters to have any significant impact on our liquidity or results of operations, it can make no assurances that the amounts that have been reserved for these matters of $0.2 million will be adequate to cover future environmental costs. We have insurance coverage for environmental claims up to $5.0 million per occurrence and up to $5.0 million in the aggregate.
LITIGATION
In April 2002, a partnership in which we hold a 50% interest filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Delaware Department of Transportation and its Secretary alleging failure of the Department and the Secretary to take actions agreed upon in a 1992 Settlement Agreement necessary for development of the Christiana Power Center Phase II project. In October 2003, the Court decided that the Department did breach the terms of the 1992 Settlement Agreement and remitted the matter to the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for a determination of damages. The Delaware Department of Transportation appealed the Chancery Court's decision to the Delaware Supreme Court, which, in April 2004, affirmed the Chancery Court's decision. We are not in a position to predict the outcome of the Superior Court's determination of damages or its ultimate effect on the construction of the Christiana Power Center Phase II project.

COMPETITION AND TENANT CREDIT RISK
Competition in the retail real estate industry is very intense. We compete with other public and private retail real estate companies, including companies that own or manage malls, power centers, lifestyle centers, strip centers, factory outlet centers, festival centers and community centers, as well as other commercial real estate developers and real estate owners. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor and in-line store tenants. Our malls and our power and strip centers face competition from similar retail centers that are near our retail properties. We also face competition from a variety of different retail formats, including discount or value retailers, home shopping networks, mail order operators, catalogs, telemarketers and internet retailers. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the level of rent that we receive. Increased competition for tenants might also require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make. Any unbudgeted capital improvements could adversely affect our results of operations. We are vulnerable to credit risk if retailers that lease space from us experience economic declines or are unable to continue operating in our retail properties due to bankruptcies or other factors.
We also compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of malls and other retail properties, including institutional pension funds, other REITs and other owner-operators of retail properties. These competitors might drive up the price we must pay for properties, other assets or other companies we seek to acquire or might themselves succeed in acquiring those properties, assets or companies. If we pay higher prices for properties, our investment returns will be reduced, which will adversely affect the value of our securities.
SEASONALITY
There is seasonality in the retail real estate industry. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of rents based on a percentage of sales over certain levels. Income from such rents is recorded only after the minimum sales levels have been met. The sales levels are often met in the fourth quarter, during the December holiday season. Also, many new and temporary leases are entered into later in the year in anticipation of the holiday season and many tenants vacant their space early in the year. As a result, our occupancy and cash flow are generally higher in the fourth quarter and lower in the first quarter, excluding the effect of ongoing redevelopment projects. Our concentration in the retail sector increases our exposure to seasonality and is expected to result in a greater percentage of our cash flows being received in the fourth quarter.
INFLATION
Inflation can have many effects on financial performance. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of rents based on a percentage of sales, which may increase with inflation. Leases may also provide for tenants to bear all or a portion of operating expenses, which may reduce the impact of such increases on us. However, during times when inflation is greater than increases in rent as provided for in a lease, rent increases may not keep up with inflation.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. As of December 31, 2004, our consolidated debt portfolio consisted of $271.0 million borrowed under our Credit Facility and $1,201.2 million in fixed-rate mortgage notes, including $56.1 million of mortgage debt premium.
Changes in market interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable portions of our debt portfolio. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the fair value, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in market interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the fair value. The sensitivity analysis related to the fixed debt portfolio assumes an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates from their actual December 31, 2004 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the net financial instrument position of $38.6 million at December 31, 2004. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the net financial instrument position of $40.5 million at December 31, 2004. Based on the variable-rate debt included in our debt portfolio as of December 31, 2004, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an additional $2.7 million in interest annually. A 100 basis point decrease would reduce interest incurred by $2.7 million annually.
To manage interest rate risk, we may employ options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps and floors, or a combination thereof, depending on the underlying exposure. We undertake a variety of borrowings, from lines of credit to medium- and long-term financings. To limit overall interest cost, we may use interest rate instruments, typically interest rate swaps, to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt, or even a portion of our fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. Interest rate differentials that arise under these swap contracts are recognized in interest expense over the life of the contracts. The resulting cost of funds is expected to be lower than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics was issued directly. We may also employ forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and recognized in net income in the same period that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated. We had no outstanding hedging transactions as of December 31, 2004.
62
Mortgage notes payable, which are secured by 29 of our wholly-owned properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2013, with interest at rates ranging from 4.95% to 10.60% and a weighted average interest rate of 7.28% at December 31, 2004. Mortgage notes payable for properties classified as discontinued operations are accounted for in liabilities of assets held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheet.
Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts of the expected annual maturities and the weighted average interest rates for the principal payments in the specified period (in thousands of dollars):

(1) | The Credit Facility has a term that expires in November 2007, with an additional 14 month extension provided that there is no event of default at that time. |
The preceding table excludes scheduled maturities for properties that are classified as held-for-sale. There is one held-for-sale property that has a mortgage with an outstanding balance of $17.4 million and an interest rate of 7.25% at December 31, 2004.
Because the information presented above includes only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2004, it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies that we might employ at the time, and interest rates.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of trustees, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our 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 Company’s transactions and the dispositions of assets of the Company; |
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated 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 the Company’s management and trustees; 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, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and 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 connection with the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, management has conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, audited management’s assessment and independently assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. KPMG has issued a report concurring with management’s assessment, which is included on page F-3 in this report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (a Pennsylvania business trust) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedules II and III. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We did not audit the 2002 financial statements of Lehigh Valley Associates, a partnership in which the Company has a 50% interest, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The equity in net income of Lehigh Valley Associates was $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The 2002 financial statements of Lehigh Valley Associates were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Lehigh Valley Associates, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 11, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust:
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting , that Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust’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 Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).Also, in our opinion, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
For the Years Ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs) in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls and power and strip centers located in the eastern United States. As of December 31, 2004, the retail properties have a total of approximately 32.2 million square feet, of which the Company and partnerships in which we own an interest own approximately 25.1 million square feet. The Company's portfolio consisted of 53 properties in 12 states and included 36 shopping malls, 13 power and strip centers and four industrial properties as of December 31, 2004. As further discussed in Note 10, the Company acquired Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey in February 2005.
The Company's interests in its properties are held through PREIT Associates, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2004, the Company held an 89.15% interest in the Operating Partnership and consolidates it for reporting purposes. The presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that the assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity.
Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, each of the other limited partners has the right to redeem his/her interest in the Operating Partnership for cash or, at the election of the Company, the Company may acquire such interest for shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, in some cases beginning one year following the respective issue date of the interest in the Operating Partnership and in other cases immediately.
The Company's management, leasing and real estate development activities are performed by two companies: PREIT Services, LLC ("PREIT Services"), which manages properties wholly-owned by the Company, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. ("PRI"), which manages properties not wholly-owned by the Company, including properties owned by partnerships in which the Company owns an interest. PREIT Services and PRI are consolidated. Because PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary as defined by federal tax laws, it is capable of offering a broad range of services to tenants without jeopardizing the Company's continued qualification as a real estate investment trust.
Consolidation
The Company consolidates its accounts and the accounts of the Operating Partnership and other controlled subsidiaries and reflects the remaining interest in the Operating Partnership as minority interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Partnership Investments
The Company accounts for its investment in partnerships which it does not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which represent 40% to 50% noncontrolling ownership interests at December 31, 2004, are recorded initially at the Company's cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company's net equity in income and cash contributions and distributions.We do not control any of these equity method investees for the following reasons:
| Except for one property that we co-manage with our partner, all of the other entities are managed on a day-to-day basis by one of our other partners as the managing general partner in each of the respective partnerships. In the case of the co-managed property, all decisions in the ordinary course of business are made jointly. |
F-10
| The managing general partner is responsible for establishing the operating and capital decisions of the partnership, including budgets, in the ordinary course of business. | |
| All major decisions of each partnership, such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property, require the approval of all partners. | |
| Voting rights and the sharing of profits and losses are in proportion to the ownership percentages of each partner. |
Statements of Cash Flows
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash paid for interest, including interest related to discontinued operations, net of amounts capitalized, was $92.7 million, $42.6 million and $27.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, cash and cash equivalents totaling $40.3 million and $43.0 million, respectively, included tenant escrow deposits of $4.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
Significant Non-Cash Transactions
In 2004, the Company issued 609,317 OP Units valued at $17.8 million in connection with the acquisition of the remaining partnership interest in New Castle Associates, owner of Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
In 2004, the Company issued 279,910 OP Units to the TRO Affiliates valued at $10.2 million in connection with the acquisition of The Rubin Organization in 1997. See Note 10 for further details about this OP Unit issuance.
The following table summarizes the significant non-cash activities related to property acquisitions in 2003 and 2002:

Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-11
The Company’s management makes complex and/or subjective assumptions and judgments in applying its critical accounting policies. In making these judgments and assumptions, management considers, among other factors:
| events and changes in property, market and economic conditions; |
| estimated future cash flows from property operations, and; |
| the risk of loss on specific accounts or amounts. |
The estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management in applying its critical accounting policies have not changed materially in 2004, 2003 and 2002, except as otherwise noted, and none of these estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in the Company recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods. The Company will continue to monitor the key factors, but no change is currently expected.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives over 95% of its revenues from tenant rents and other tenant related activities. Tenant rents include base rents, percentage rents, expense reimbursements (such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and utilities), amortization of above- and below-market intangibles and straight-line rents. The Company records base rents on a straight-line basis, which means that the monthly base rent income according to the terms of the Company's leases with its tenants is adjusted so that an average monthly rent is recorded for each tenant over the term of its lease. The difference between base rent and straight-line rent is a non-cash increase or decrease to rental income. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $4.9 million in 2004, $2.6 million in 2003 and $0.8 million in 2002. The significant increases in 2004 and 2003 were due to property acquisitions. Amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles decreased revenue by $0.7 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as described below under "Intangible Assets."
Percentage rents represent rental income that the tenant pays based on a percentage of its sales. Tenants that pay percentage rent usually pay in one of two ways, either a percentage of their total sales or a percentage of sales over a certain threshold. In the latter case, the Company does not record percentage rent until the sales threshold has been reached. Revenues for rents received from tenants prior to their due dates are deferred until the period to which the rents apply.
In addition to base rents, certain lease agreements contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse a pro rata share of real estate taxes and certain common area maintenance costs. Expense reimbursement payments generally are made monthly based on a budgeted amount determined at the beginning of the year. During the year, the Company's income increases or decreases based on actual expense levels and changes in other factors that influence the reimbursement amounts, such as occupancy levels. These increases/decreases are non-cash changes to rental income. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company accrued income of $5.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, because reimbursable expense levels were greater than amounts billed. Shortly after the end of the year, the Company prepares a reconciliation of the actual amounts due from tenants. The difference between the actual amount due and the amounts paid by the tenant throughout the year is billed or credited to the tenant, depending on whether the tenant paid too little or too much during the year.
Lease termination fee income is recognized in the period when a termination agreement is signed and the Company is no longer obligated to provide space to the tenant. In the event that a tenant is in bankruptcy when the termination agreement is signed, termination fee income is deferred and recognized when it is received.
The Company's other significant source of revenues comes from the provision of management services to third parties, including property management, brokerage, leasing and development. Management fees generally are a percentage of managed property revenues or cash receipts. Leasing fees are earned upon the consummation of new leases. Development fees are earned over the time period of the development activity and are recognized on the percentage of completion method. These activities are collectively referred to as "management company revenue" in the consolidated statement of income.
No tenant represented 10% or more of the Company's rental revenue in any period presented.
F-12
Capitalization of Costs
Costs incurred related to development and redevelopment projects for interest, property taxes and insurance are capitalized only during periods in which activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use are in progress. Costs incurred for such items after the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are charged to expense as incurred. The Company capitalizes a portion of development department employees’ compensation and benefits related to time spent involved in development and redevelopment projects. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company capitalized interest of $1.5 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, real estate taxes of $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and salaries and benefits of $1.3 million, $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
The Company capitalizes payments made to obtain options to acquire real property. All other related costs that are incurred before acquisition are capitalized if the acquisition of the property or of an option to acquire the property is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are charged to expense when it is probable that the property will not be acquired.
The Company capitalizes salaries, commissions and benefits related to time spent by leasing and legal department personnel involved in originating leases with third-party tenants. The Company capitalized $2.8 million, $0.1 million, and $0.3 million of such compensation-related costs during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Real Estate
The Company, for financial reporting purposes, depreciates its buildings, furniture, fixtures and tenant improvements over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 50 years, using the straight-line method of depreciation. Depreciation expense on real estate assets was $72.7 million, $27.6 million and $12.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For federal income tax purposes, the Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation and the useful lives prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code.
Land, buildings and fixtures and tenant improvements are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renovations and/or replacements, which improve or extend the life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings | 30-50 years | |
Land Improvements | 15 years | |
Furniture/Fixtures | 3-10 years | |
Tenant Improvements | Lease term | |
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful life of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties based on various factors, including industry standards, historical experience and the condition of the asset at the time of acquisition. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company's net income. If the Company were to determine that a longer expected useful life was appropriate for a particular asset, it would be depreciated over more years, and, other things being equal, result in less annual depreciation expense and higher annual net income.
Assessment of recoverability by the Company of certain other lease related costs must be made when the Company has a reason to believe that the tenant may not be able to perform under the terms of the lease as originally expected. This requires management to make estimates as to the recoverability of such assets.
Gains from sales of real estate properties and interests in partnerships generally are recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Real Estate Sales," provided that various criteria are met relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties sold.
F-13
Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its property acquisitions under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, the purchase price of a property is allocated to the property's assets based on management's estimates of their fair value. The determination of the fair value of intangible assets requires significant estimates by management and considers many factors, including the Company's expectations about the underlying property and the general market conditions in which the property operates. The judgment and subjectivity inherent in such assumptions can have a significant impact on the magnitude of the intangible assets that the Company records.
SFAS No. 141 provides guidance on allocating a portion of the purchase price of a property to intangible assets. The Company's methodology for this allocation includes estimating an "as-if vacant" fair value of the physical property, which is allocated to land, building and improvements. The difference between the purchase price and the "as-if vacant" fair value is allocated to intangible assets. There are three categories of intangible assets to be considered: (i) value of in-place leases, (ii) above- and below-market value of in-place leases and (iii) customer relationship value.
The value of in-place leases is estimated based on the value associated with the costs avoided in originating leases comparable to the acquired in-place leases, as well as the value associated with lost rental revenue during the assumed lease-up period. The value of in-place leases is amortized as real estate amortization over the estimated weighted-average remaining lease lives. The Company generally uses a weighted-average life of seven years for this purpose.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management's estimates of fair market lease rates for the comparable in-place leases, based on factors, including historical experience, recently executed transactions and specific property issues, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The value of above-market lease values is amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of below-market lease values is amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any below-market renewal period.
The Company allocates no value to customer relationship intangibles if the Company has pre-existing business relationships with the major retailers in the acquired property because the customer relationships associated with the acquired property provide no incremental value over the Company's existing relationships.

(1) In accordance with SFAS No. 144 (see below), in-place lease intangibles of properties held-for-sale are not amortized.
Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 144"), provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets classified as held-for-sale, broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as discontinued operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002.
The Company generally considers assets to be held-for-sale when the sale transaction has been approved by the appropriate level of management and there are no known material contingencies relating to the sale such that the sale is probable within one year. When assets are identified by management as held-for-sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs of such assets. If, in management's opinion, the net sales price of the assets that have been identified as held-for-sale is less than the net book value of the assets, the asset is written down to fair value less the cost to sell. Such held-for-sale assets and liabilities related to assets classified as held-for-sale are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.
Asset Impairment
Real estate investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired only if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows to be generated by the property undiscounted and without interest charges are less than the carrying value of the property. These estimates take into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In addition, these estimates may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.
The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact the Company's net income. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.
F-16
Discontinued Operations
Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity in SFAS No. 144, assuming no significant continuing involvement, a sold real estate property is considered a discontinued operation. In addition, properties classified as held-for-sale are considered discontinued operations. Properties classified as discontinued operations for 2004 and 2003 were reclassified as such in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for each of 2004, 2003 and 2002. Interest expense that is specifically identifiable to the property is used in the computation of interest expense attributable to discontinued operations. Certain prior period amounts have been restated to conform with current year presentation in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Please refer to Note 2 below for a description of the properties included in discontinued operations as of December 31, 2004. Investments in partnerships are excluded from the provisions of SFAS No. 144.
Goodwill
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“SFAS No.142”), requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company conducts an annual review of its goodwill balances for impairment to determine whether an adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill is required. The Company's intangible assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and 2003 include $12.0 million and $9.0 million, respectively (net of $1.1 million of amortization expense recognized prior to January 1, 2002) of goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition of The Rubin Organization in 1997. During 2003, $7.6 million of this goodwill was written off in connection with the sale of the multifamily properties.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code and intends to remain so qualified. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences in cost basis, differences in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and differences between the allocation of the Company's net income and loss for financial reporting purposes and for tax reporting purposes.
The Company is subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the excess, if any, of 85% of the Company's ordinary income plus 95% of the Company's capital gain net income for the year plus 100% of any prior year shortfall over cash distributions during the year, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has in the past distributed a substantial portion of its taxable income in the subsequent fiscal year and may also follow this policy in the future.
No provision for excise tax was made for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, as no tax was due in those years.

The tax status of per share distributions paid to shareholders was composed of the following for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002:

PRI is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. The Company had no provision or benefit for income taxes in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The Company had net deferred tax assets of $4.7 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The deferred tax asset is primarily the result of net operating losses. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The aggregate cost basis and depreciated basis for federal income tax purposes of the Company's investment in real estate was approximately $2,451.9 million and $1,901.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2004 and $2,480.9 million and $1,888.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash, rents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and borrowings under the Company's Credit Facility approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value for fixed-rate debt, which is calculated for disclosure purposes, is based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for fixed-rate mortgages payable with similar terms and maturities. The Company's variable-rate debt has an estimated fair value that is approximately the same as the recorded amounts in the balance sheets.
Allowance for Doubtful Receivables
The Company makes estimates of the collectibility of its receivables related to tenant rents including base rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. The Company specifically analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the time required to reach an ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company's net income because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income, other things being equal. In 2004, the Company increased its reserve on straight-line rentals from 5% to 15% because the consolidated straight-line rent receivable balance increased significantly after the Merger and the other 2004 and 2003 acquisitions took place, and because management determined that there was a greater risk associated with these amounts due to various property and industry factors.
Debt Premiums
Debt assumed in connection with property acquisitions is marked to market at the acquisition date and the premium is amortized through interest expense over the remaining term of the debt, resulting in a non-cash decrease in interest expense.
F-18
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by SFAS No. 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
The Company's objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments or vice versa over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount.
Operating Partnership Unit Conversions
Shares issued upon conversion of units of limited partnership interest in the Company's operating partnership (OP Units) are recorded at the book value of the OP Units.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the expense recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). The Company values stock options issued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this value as an expense over the period in which the options vest. Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is prospectively applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. Prior to 2003, the Company followed the intrinsic method set forth in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The compensation expense associated with the stock options is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
In December 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" amended Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS No. 148") to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. See below for a discussion regarding recent revisions to SFAS No. 123.
F-19
Under the prospective method of adoption selected by the Company under the provisions of SFAS No. 148, compensation cost was recognized in 2003 as if the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been applied from the date of adoption to awards granted after January 1, 2003. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

Earnings Per Share
The difference between basic weighted-average shares outstanding and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist primarily of shares to be issued under employee stock compensation programs and outstanding stock options and warrants whose exercise price was less than the average market price of our stock during these periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 153
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets” (SFAS No. 153). This Statement amends APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” which established the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges for nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 153 will have a material effect on its future results of operations.
SFAS No.123 (R)
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 . SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be valued at fair value on the date of grant, and to be expensed over the applicable vesting period. Pro forma disclosure of the income statement effects of share-based payments is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for all stock-based awards granted on or after July 1, 2005. In addition, companies must also recognize compensation expense related to any awards that are not fully vested as of July 1, 2005. Compensation expense for the unvested awards will be measured based on the fair value of the awards previously calculated in developing the pro forma disclosures in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), but does not expect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123 (R) to be material to its financial statements because it adopted SFAS No.123 effective January 1, 2003.

FIN 46 |
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, ("FIN 46") (revised December 2003 ("FIN 46R")), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights, and, accordingly, should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces FIN 46. FIN 46R is applicable immediately to a variable interest entity created after January 31, 2003 and, as of March 31, 2004, to those variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 and not already consolidated under FIN 46 in previously issued financial statements. The Company has not created any variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2004 and has analyzed the applicability of this interpretation to its entities created before February 1, 2003. Management believes that none of the Company's partnerships are variable interest entities. The Company reached this determination because each entity’s equity at risk was sufficient to allow it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. All of the operating properties were financed with third-party non-recourse loans which were comparable to loans generally available to finance similar properties. In addition, the equity holders in each entity participate significantly in the entity’s profits and losses. Neither the Company nor any of the other investors have provided any form of subordinated financial support to these entities in the form of loan guarantees or otherwise.

2004 Acquisitions
In December 2004, the Company acquired Orlando Fashion Square in Orlando, Florida with 1.1 million square feet for approximately $123.5 million in cash, including closing costs. The transaction was financed using the Company’s Credit Facility. Of the purchase price amount, $14.7 million was allocated to value of in-place leases and $0.7 million was allocated to above-market leases.
In May 2004, the Company acquired The Gallery at Market East II in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with 334,400 square feet for $32.4 million in cash, including closing costs. The purchase price was funded from the Company’s Credit Facility. Of the purchase price amount, $4.5 million was allocated to value of in-place leases, $1.2 million was allocated to above-market leases and $1.1 million was allocated to below-market leases. This property is adjacent to The Gallery at Market East I. When combined with The Gallery at Market East I (acquired by the Company in 2003), the Company owns 528,000 square feet of the total 1.1 million square feet in The Gallery at Market East.
In May 2004, the Company exercised its option to acquire the remaining ownership interest in New Castle Associates. See “Additional 2003 Acquisitions for further discussion.
In March 2004, the Company acquired a 25 acre parcel of land in Florence, South Carolina. The purchase price for the parcel was $3.8 million in cash, including related closing costs. The parcel, which is zoned for commercial development, is situated across the street from Magnolia Mall and The Commons at Magnolia, both wholly-owned PREIT properties.

Crown Merger |
On November 20, 2003, the Company announced the closing of the merger of Crown American Realty Trust ("Crown") with and into the Company (the "Merger") in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of May 13, 2003, by and among the Company, PREIT Associates, L.P., Crown and Crown American Properties, L.P. ("CAP"), a limited partnership of which Crown was the sole general partner before the Merger. Through the Merger and related transactions, the Company acquired 26 wholly-owned regional shopping malls and the remaining 50% interest in Palmer Park Mall in Easton, Pennsylvania.
In the Merger, each Crown common share was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.3589 of a PREIT common share in a tax-free, share-for-share transaction. Accordingly, the Company issued approximately 11,725,175 of its common shares to the former holders of Crown common shares. In addition, the Company issued 2,475,000 11% non-convertible senior preferred shares to the former holders of Crown preferred shares in connection with the Merger. Also as part of the Merger, options to purchase a total of 30,000 Crown common shares were replaced with options to purchase a total of 10,764 PREIT common shares with a weighted average exercise price of $21.13 per share and options to purchase a total of 421,100 units of limited partnership interest in CAP were replaced with options to purchase a total of 151,087 PREIT common shares with a weighted average exercise price of $17.23 per share. In addition, a warrant to purchase 100,000 Crown common shares automatically was converted into a replacement warrant to purchase 35,890 PREIT common shares at an exercise price of $25.08 per share.
The value of shares of beneficial interest, preferred shares, OP Units, options and warrants issued in connection with the merger with Crown was determined based on the closing market value of the related securities on May 13, 2003, the date on which the financial terms of the merger with Crown were substantially complete.
The following table summarizes the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and funding sources associated with the Crown merger. These amounts were recorded at the estimated fair value as determined by management, based on information available and on assumptions of future performance. This allocation of purchase price, as well as the purchase price allocations made in connection with the Company's other acquisitions, was subject to revisions, in accordance with GAAP, during the twelve-month period following the closings of the respective acquisitions. During 2004, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation for the Crown properties and reallocated $26.7 million of the purchase price that was originally allocated to the Non-Core Properties. This amount was reallocated among the 20 properties acquired in the Merger that are classified in continuing operations. The Company also recorded additional basis in the properties acquired in the Merger of $3.2 million, primarily relating to additional professional fees incurred in connection with the Merger. These amounts were allocated to the properties in continuing operations on a pro rata basis based on the relative fair value of each property. The final allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

Immediately after the closing of the Merger, CAP contributed the remaining interest in all of its assets (excluding a portion of its interest in two partnerships) and substantially all of its liabilities to the Company’s Operating Partnership in exchange for 1,703,214 OP Units. The interest in the two partnerships retained by CAP is subject to a put-call arrangement involving 341,297 additional OP Units (see Note 11 under "Other").
Additional 2003 Acquisitions |
The Company entered into a partnership with Pennsylvania State Employee Retirement System ("PaSERS") in February 2000 to acquire Willow Grove Park, a retail mall in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. The Company's interest was 0.01% at the time it entered the partnership that owns the property. Effective November 2001, the Company increased its ownership in the partnership that owns the property to 30%. In September 2003, the Company acquired the remaining 70% limited partnership interest from PaSERS. The purchase price of the 70% partnership interest was $45.5 million in cash, which the Company paid using a portion of the net proceeds of the Company's August 2003 equity offering. As of the date of the acquisition of the 70% interest, the partnership had $109.7 million in debt ($76.9 million of which is attributable to the acquisition of the remaining 70% interest), with an interest rate of 8.39% maturing in March 2006.
Also in September 2003, the Company purchased a 6.08 acre parcel and a vacant 160,000 square foot two story building adjacent to the Plymouth Meeting Mall in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania for $15.8 million, which included $13.5 million in cash paid to IKEA for the building from the Company's August 2003 equity offering and approximately 72,000 OP Units paid to the holder of an option to acquire the parcel.
In April 2003, the Company acquired Moorestown Mall, The Gallery at Market East I and Exton Square Mall from affiliated entities of The Rouse Company ("Rouse") and, in June 2003, the Company acquired Echelon Mall and Plymouth Meeting Mall from Rouse, all of which are located in the Greater Philadelphia area. In June 2003, the Company also acquired the ground lessor's interest in Plymouth Meeting Mall from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association ("TIAA"). In addition, in April 2003, New Castle Associates acquired Cherry Hill Mall from Rouse in exchange for New Castle Associates' interest in Christiana Mall, cash and the assumption by New Castle Associates of mortgage debt on Cherry Hill Mall. On that same date, the Company acquired a 49.9% ownership interest in New Castle Associates and, through subsequent contributions to New Castle Associates, increased its ownership interest to approximately 73%. In May 2004, the Company exercised its option to acquire the remaining ownership interest in New Castle Associates in exchange for an aggregate of 609,317 additional OP Units. As a result, the Company now owns 100% of New Castle Associates. Prior to the closing of the acquisition of the remaining interest, each of the remaining partners of New Castle Associates other than the Company was entitled to a
F-23
cumulative preferred distribution from New Castle Associates on their remaining interests in New Castle Associates equal to $1.2 million in the aggregate per annum, subject to certain downward adjustments based upon certain capital distributions by New Castle Associates. The aggregate purchase price for the Company's acquisition of the five malls from Rouse, for TIAA's ground lease interest in Plymouth Meeting Mall and for New Castle Associates (including the additional purchase price paid upon exercise of the Company's option to acquire the remaining interests in New Castle Associates) was $549 million, including approximately $237 million in cash, the assumption of $277 million in non-recourse mortgage debt and the issuance of approximately $35 million in OP Units. Certain former partners of New Castle Associates not affiliated with the Company exercised their special right to redeem for cash an aggregate of 261,349 OP Units issued to such partners at closing, and the Company paid to those partners an aggregate amount of approximately $7.7 million. In addition, the Company granted registration rights to the partners of New Castle Associates with respect to the shares underlying the OP Units issued or to be issued to them, other than those redeemed for cash following the closing.
Pan American Associates, the former sole general partner and a former limited partner of New Castle Associates, is controlled by Ronald Rubin, a trustee and the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, and George Rubin, a trustee and a vice chairman of the Company. By reason of their interest in Pan American Associates, Ronald Rubin had a 9.37% indirect limited partner interest in New Castle Associates and George F. Rubin had a 1.43% indirect limited partner interest in New Castle Associates.
In connection with the April 2003 sale of Christiana Mall by New Castle Associates to Rouse, PRI received a brokerage fee of $2.0 million pursuant to a pre-existing management and leasing agreement between PRI and New Castle Associates. This fee was received in April 2003 by PRI prior to the Company's acquisition of its ownership interest in New Castle Associates.
PRI also entered into a new management and leasing agreement with New Castle Associates for Cherry Hill Mall, which provided for a fee of 5.25% of all rents and other revenues received by New Castle Associates from Cherry Hill Mall. The Company ceased recording charges under this agreement upon its purchase of the remaining interest in New Castle Associates.
2002 Acquisitions
In October 2002, the Company acquired the 50% interest in Regency Lakeside Apartments that the Company did not previously own and consolidated the results of this property from the date of acquisition. The Company paid approximately $14.2 million for this remaining interest, including $9.6 million in the form of an assumed mortgage (representing the seller's 50% share of the mortgage), $2.5 million borrowed under a credit facility and $2.1 million in cash.
In July 2002, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of The Rubin Organization in September 1997, the Company acquired the 11% interest in Northeast Tower Center and related parcels of land that it did not previously own. Northeast Tower Center is a retail power center located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purchase price for the acquisition consisted of 24,337 OP Units issued in 2002 and 6,290 OP Units issued in 2003, valued at an aggregate of $0.7 million.
In April 2002, the Company purchased Beaver Valley Mall located in Monaca, Pennsylvania for a purchase price of $60.8 million. The purchase was financed primarily through a $48.0 million mortgage and a $10.0 million bank borrowing. The bank borrowing was subsequently repaid. Also in 2002, the Company exercised an option to purchase a portion of the land on which Beaver Valley Mall is situated for $0.5 million.
Pro Forma Information
Pro forma revenues, net income, basic net income per share and diluted net income per share for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, reflecting the purchases of the Crown properties, the Rouse properties, the remaining interest in Willow Grove, and Beaver Valley Mall, described above, as if the purchases took place on January 1, 2002, are presented below. The pro forma impact of the 2004 acquisitions is not reflected because the 2004 acquisitions were not material to the Companys results of operations. The unaudited pro forma information presented within this footnote is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2002, nor does the pro forma information purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

The acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The properties' results of operations have been included from their respective purchase dates.
Dispositions
Six of the properties acquired in connection with the Merger were considered to be non-strategic and were designated as held-for-sale (the "Non-Core Properties"). The Non-Core Properties were: Bradley Square Mall in Cleveland, Tennessee; Martinsburg Mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia; Mount Berry Square Mall in Rome, Georgia; Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, Pennsylvania; Shenango Valley Mall in Sharon, Pennsylvania, and West Manchester Mall in York, Pennsylvania. In September 2004, the Company sold five of the Non-Core Properties for a sale price of $110.7 million. The net proceeds from the sale were approximately $108.5 million after closing costs and adjustments. West Manchester Mall and Martinsburg Mall had served as part of the collateral pool that secures a mortgage with GE Capital Corporation. In connection with the closing, these properties were released from the collateral pool and replaced by Northeast Tower Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Jacksonville Mall in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The Company used the proceeds from this sale primarily to pay down amounts outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility. The Company did not record a gain or loss on this sale. The sixth Non-Core Property, Schuylkill Mall, remains designated as held for sale.
In August 2004, the Company sold its 60% non-controlling ownership interest in Rio Grande Mall, a 166,000 square foot strip center in Rio Grande, New Jersey, to Freeco Development LLC, an affiliate of its partner in this property, for net proceeds of $4.1 million. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2004 from this transaction.
In the second and third quarters of 2003, the Company disposed of its entire portfolio of multifamily properties, which consisted of 15 wholly-owned properties and four properties in which the Company had a 50% partnership interest. The Company sold its 15 wholly-owned multifamily properties to MPM Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Morgan Properties, Ltd., for a total sale price of $392.1 million (approximately $185.3 million of which consisted of assumed indebtedness). The sales of the Company's wholly-owned multifamily properties resulted in a gain of $178.1 million. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company recorded a $0.6 million reduction to the gain on the sale of the portfolio in connection with the settlement of claims made against the Company by the purchaser of the properties. The results of operations of these wholly-owned properties and the resulting gains on sale are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.
The Company sold its 50% partnership interest in four multifamily properties to its respective partners. Cambridge Hall Apartments in West Chester, Pennsylvania was sold in May 2003 for $6.7 million, including $2.5 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $4.4 million was recorded on the sale. Countrywood Apartments in Tampa, Florida was sold in May 2003 for $9.1 million, including $7.3 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $4.5 million was recorded on the sale. Fox Run Apartments in Warminster, Pennsylvania was sold in September 2003 for $5.0 million, including $2.7 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $3.9 million was recorded on the sale. Will-O-Hill Apartments in Reading, Pennsylvania was sold in September 2003 for $3.6 million, including $0.8 million in assumed indebtedness. A gain of $2.2 million was recorded on the sale. The results of operations of these equity method investments and the resultant gains on sales are presented in continuing operations for all periods presented.
F-25
A substantial portion of the gain on the sale of the wholly-owned multifamily properties met the requirements for a tax deferred exchange with the properties acquired from Rouse.
In January 2003, the Company sold a parcel of land located at Crest Plaza Shopping Center located in Allentown, Pennsylvania for $3.2 million. The Company recognized a gain of $1.1 million in 2003 as a result of this sale.
In July 2002, the Company sold Mandarin Corners shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida for $16.3 million. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $4.1 million. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.144, the operating results and gain on sale of Mandarin Corners shopping center are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company has presented as discontinued operations the operating results of (i) its wholly-owned multifamily portfolio, (ii) the Non-Core Properties and (iii) Mandarin Corners.

(1) | The Company has one property, Schuylkill Mall, classified as held-for-sale. In December 2004, the Company completed a modification of the mortgage on Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, Pennsylvania. The modification limits the monthly payments to interest plus the excess cash flow from the property after management fees, leasing commissions, and lender-approved capital expenditures. Monthly excess cash flow will accumulate throughout the year in escrow, and an annual principal payment will be made on the last day of each year from this account. All other terms of the loan, including the interest rate of 7.25%, remained unchanged. Due to the modification, the timing of future principal payment amounts cannot be determined. The mortgage expires in December 2008, and had a balance of $17.4 million at December 31, 2004. |
The fair value of the mortgage notes payable was approximately $1,225 million at December 31, 2004 based on year-end interest rates and market conditions.
F-29
Mortgage Financing Activity
As noted above, in December 2004, the Company completed a modification of the mortgage on Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, PA.
In November 2004, the Company used the Credit Facility to repay the $30 million mortgage on Wiregrass Commons Mall.
In June 2003, the Company refinanced its mortgage note payable secured by Moorestown Mall, in Moorestown, New Jersey. The $64.3 million mortgage has a 10-year term and bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.95% per annum. The proceeds from the borrowings secured by the mortgage were used to repay the previously existing mortgage note secured by Moorestown Mall and to fund a portion of the purchase price for Plymouth Meeting Mall in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and Echelon Mall in Voorhees, New Jersey.
In May 2003, the Company entered into a mortgage note payable secured by Dartmouth Mall, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. The $70.0 million mortgage has a 10-year term and bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.95% per annum. The proceeds from the borrowings secured by the mortgage were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for Plymouth Meeting Mall in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and Echelon Mall in Voorhees, New Jersey.
In March 2002, the mortgage on Camp Hill Plaza Apartments in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, was refinanced. The $12.8 million mortgage had a 10-year term and a fixed interest rate of 7.02% per annum. In connection with the refinancing, unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.1 million were written off and reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2002. This property was sold in 2003.
Credit Facility
In November 2003, the Company completed the replacement of its $200 million secured line of credit with a $500 million unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), with an option to increase the Credit Facility to $650 million under prescribed conditions. As further described in Note 14, the Credit Facility was amended in February 2005. Through December 31, 2004, the Credit Facility bore interest at a rate between 1.5% and 2.5% per annum over LIBOR based on the Company's leverage. The availability of funds under the Credit Facility is subject to the Company's compliance with financial and other covenants and agreements, some of which are described below.
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, $271.0 million and $170.0 million, respectively, were outstanding on the Credit Facility. The Company had pledged $8.1 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for six letters of credit, and the unused portion of the Credit Facility available to the Company was $220.9 million as of December 31, 2004. The weighted average interest rate based on amounts borrowed on the Company's credit facilities was 4.24%, 5.48% and 4.21% for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The interest rate at December 31, 2004 was 4.14%.
The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in facilities of this type, as well as requirements that the Company maintain, on a consolidated basis (all capitalized terms used in this paragraph shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement): (1) a minimum Tangible Net Worth of not less than 80% of the Tangible Net Worth of the Company as of December 31, 2003 plus 75% of the Net Proceeds of all Equity Issuances effected at any time after December 31, 2003 by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries minus the carrying value attributable to any Preferred Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary redeemed after December 31, 2003; (2) a maximum ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value of 0.65:1; (3) a minimum ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.90:1; (4) a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges of 1.50:1; (5) maximum Investments in unimproved real estate not in excess of 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (6) maximum Investments in Persons other than Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (7) maximum Investments in Indebtedness secured by Mortgages in favor of the Company or any other Subsidiary, not in excess of 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (8) maximum Investments in Subsidiaries that are not Wholly-owned Subsidiaries and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (9) maximum Investments subject to the limitations in the preceding clauses (5) through (8) not in excess of 15.0% of Gross Asset Value; (10) a maximum Gross Asset Value attributable to any one Property not in excess of 15.0% of Gross Asset Value; (11) a maximum Total Budgeted Cost Until Stabilization for all properties defined as development properties or major redevelopment properties
F-30
not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (12) an aggregate amount of projected rentable square footage of all development properties subject to binding leases of not less than 50% of the aggregate amount of projected rentable square footage of all such development properties; (13) a maximum Floating Rate Indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not in excess of one-third of all Indebtedness of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Unconsolidated Affiliates; (14) a maximum ratio of Secured Indebtedness of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Unconsolidated Affiliates to Gross Asset Value of 0.60:1; (15) a maximum ratio of recourse Secured Indebtedness of the Borrower or Guarantors to Gross Asset Value of 0.25:1; and (16) a minimum ratio of EBITDA to Indebtedness of 0.130:1. As of December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all of these debt covenants.
Crown Merger
In connection with the Merger, the Company also assumed from Crown approximately $443.8 million of a first mortgage loan that has a final maturity date of September 10, 2025 and is secured by a portfolio of 15 properties at an interest rate of 7.43% per annum. This rate remains in effect until September 10, 2008, the anticipated repayment date, at which time the loan can be prepaid without penalty. If not prepaid at that time, the interest rate thereafter will be equal to the greater of (i) 10.43% per annum, or (ii) the Treasury Rate, as defined therein, plus 3.0% per annum. PREIT also assumed an additional $152.9 million in mortgages on certain properties with interest rates between 3.12% and 7.61% per annum. The Company also repaid all $154.9 million of outstanding indebtness under a Crown credit facility with borrowings under the Credit Facility.
5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As of December 31, 2004, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and does not currently have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.
During 2003, derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Company's former credit facility that expired in the fourth quarter of 2003.
In August 2003, the Company terminated its two derivative financial instruments contracts with an aggregate notional value of $75.0 million, and an original maturity date of December 15, 2003. An expense of $1.2 million was recorded in connection with the termination of the Company's interest rate swap agreements and is reflected in other general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income.
For the Company's cash flow hedges, the fair value is recognized temporarily as a component of equity and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings as interest expense or depreciation expense over the life of the constructed asset for hedged borrowings associated with development activities. The balance of $1.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2004 is attributable to financing of development activities.
6. PREFERRED STOCK
In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 2,475,000 11% non-convertible senior preferred shares to the former holders of Crown preferred shares. The issuance was recorded at $57.90 per preferred share, the fair value of a preferred share based on the market value of the corresponding Crown preferred shares as of May 13, 2003, the date on which the financial terms of the Merger were substantially complete. The preferred shares are not redeemable by the Company until July 31, 2007. On or after July 31, 2007, the Company, at its option, may redeem the preferred shares for cash at the redemption price per share set forth below (in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts):

On or after July 31, 2010 | $ | 50.00 | $ | 123,750 |
As of December 31, 2003, there was $1.5 million in accumulated but unpaid dividends relating to the preferred shares. This amount was deducted from net income to determine net income available to common shareholders. This amount was not deducted from retained earnings as of December 31, 2003 because the dividend on the preferred shares was not yet declared at that time.
7. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") in which substantially all of its employees are eligible to participate. The Plan permits eligible participants, as defined in the Plan agreement, to defer up to 15% of their compensation, and the Company, at its discretion, may match a specified percentage of the employees' contributions. The Company's and its employees' contributions are fully vested, as defined in the Plan agreement. The Company's contributions to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $1.0 million, $0.7 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.
The Company also maintains Supplemental Retirement Plans (the "Supplemental Plans") covering certain senior management employees. Expenses recorded by the Company under the provisions of the Supplemental Plans were $0.8 million, $0.5 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
F-31

In the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, 17,000, 14,000 and 17,000 shares, respectively, were purchased for total consideration of $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
General
PRI provides management, leasing and development services for 13 properties owned by partnerships in which certain officers and trustees of the Company and PRI have indirect ownership interests. Total revenues earned by PRI for such services were $2.0 million, $4.2 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The 2003 amount includes the $2.0 million brokerage fee received in connection with the sale of Christiana Mall (see Note 2). As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were due from these affiliates. Of these amounts, approximately $0.1 million was collected subsequent to December 31, 2004. PRI holds a note receivable from a related party with a balance of $0.1 million that is due in installments through 2010 and bears an interest rate of 10% per annum.
The Company leases its principal executive offices from Bellevue Associates (the “Landlord”), an entity in which certain officers and trustees of the Company have an interest. Total rent expense under this lease was $1.4 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin, collectively with members of their immediate families, own approximately a 50% interest in the Landlord.
On September 22, 2004, the Company entered into a Second Amendment, effective June 1, 2004, to the Office Lease (as amended, the “Office Lease”) with the Landlord. Among other things, the amendment extends the Company’s rentable space under the Office Lease to a total of approximately 68,100 square feet, which includes approximately 42,700 square feet the Company had previously leased from the Landlord, approximately 15,400 square feet the Company had previously subleased from another tenant, and approximately 10,000 square feet of new space. The term of the Office Lease is 10 years, commencing November 1, 2004. The Company has the option to renew the lease for up to two additional five year periods at the then-current fair market rate calculated in accordance with the terms of the Office Lease. In addition, the Company has the right on one occasion at any time during the seventh lease year to terminate the Office Lease upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Effective June 1, 2004, the Company’s base rent is $1.4 million per year during the first five years of the Office Lease and $1.5 million per year during the second five years.
The Company uses an airplane in which Ronald Rubin owns a fractional interest. We paid $0.1 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 for flight time used by employees on Company-related business.
As of December 31, 2004, 12 officers of the Company had employment agreements with terms of up to three years that renew automatically for additional one-year terms and provided for aggregate base compensation for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $3.7 million, subject to increases as approved by the Company's compensation committee in future years, as well as additional incentive compensation.
Acquisition of The Rubin Organization
The Company's 1997 acquisition of The Rubin Organization entitled the former affiliates of The Rubin Organization (including Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin and several of the Companys other executive officers, the TRO Affiliates) to receive up to 800,000 additional OP Units based on the Company's funds from operations for the five-year period beginning September 30, 1997. All 665,000 OP Units attributable to the period beginning September 30, 1997 and ending December 31, 2001 were issued to the TRO Affiliates. The determination regarding the remaining 135,000 OP Units attributable to the period from January 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 was deferred until March 2004. In March 2004, a special committee of disinterested members of the Company's board of trustees (the Special TRO Committee) determined that 76,622 of these 135,000 OP Units should be issued. Because the issuance of these OP Units was deferred until March 2004, the Company also paid to the TRO Affiliates $0.3 million in cash in respect of distributions that would have been paid on the OP Units, plus interest. The fair market value of the OP Units and the portion of the cash payment that represented distributions were recorded as a $3.0 million increase to goodwill. The portion of the cash payment that represented interest of $0.1 million was recorded as interest expense.
F-35
The TRO Affiliates also were eligible to receive additional OP Units in respect of the Company's payment for certain development and predevelopment properties acquired as part of the Company's acquisition of The Rubin Organization. In December 2003, in exchange for the remaining 11% interest in a parcel related to Northeast Tower Center (one of the development properties), Ronald Rubin received 4,552 OP Units and George F. Rubin received 1,738 OP Units. The fair market value of the OP Units was recorded as a $0.1 million increase to investment in real estate. In March 2004, the Special TRO Committee determined that 37,549 OP Units should be issued to the TRO Affiliates in respect of the development properties. Because the issuance of these OP Units was deferred until March 2004, the Company also paid to the TRO Affiliates $0.4 million in cash in respect of distributions that would have been paid on the OP Units from the completion date of the applicable property through March 25, 2004, plus interest. The fair market value of the OP Units and the portion of the cash payment that represented distributions were recorded as a $1.7 million increase to investment in real estate. The portion of the cash payment that represented interest of $0.1 million was recorded as interest expense. Also, in March 2004, the Special TRO Committee determined that 165,739 OP Units were issuable to the TRO Affiliates in respect of the predevelopment properties. Because the issuance of these OP Units was deferred until March 2004, the Company also paid to the TRO Affiliates $1.6 million in cash in respect of distributions that would have been paid on the OP Units from the completion date of the applicable development of the property through March 25, 2004, plus interest. The fair market value of the OP Units and the portion of the cash payment that represented distributions were recorded as a $4.6 million increase to investment in real estate and a $2.9 million increase to investment in partnerships. The portion of the cash payment that represented interest of $0.2 million was recorded as interest expense.
In connection with the Special TRO Committee's determinations to issue the OP Units and make the cash payments in March 2004 as described above, the following former TRO Affiliates who are officers of the Company received the following consideration: (1) Ronald Rubin received 104,282 OP Units and $819,561 in cash; (2) George F. Rubin received 46,336 OP Units and $362,535 in cash; (3) Joseph F. Coradino received 19,133 OP Units and $150,105 in cash; (4) Edward A. Glickman received 11,272 OP Units and $87,792 in cash; (5) Douglas S. Grayson received 5,529 OP Units and $42,920 in cash; and (6) David J. Bryant received 1,277 OP Units and $59,772 in cash ($50,000 of which was allocated to Mr. Bryant by the TRO Affiliates for his services on behalf of the TRO Affiliates in connection with the determination of the final payments). The TRO Affiliates have agreed in writing that they are not entitled to any additional consideration in respect of the Company's acquisition of The Rubin Organization.
New Castle Associates
Ronald Rubin and George Rubin, through their ownership interest in New Castle Associates, also were parties to the Rouse transaction described in "Note 2. Real Estate Acquisitions Acquisitions, Dispositions and Development Activities Additional 2003 Acquisitions." Ronald Rubin and George Rubin are also entitled to certain tax protection related to the New Castle Associates transaction. The transaction with New Castle Associates was approved by a special committee of independent members of the Company's board of trustees.
Acquisition of Cumberland Mall
In February 2005, the Company acquired Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey. The total purchase price was approximately $59.5 million, which included approximately $47.7 million in mortgage debt secured by Cumberland Mall. The remaining portion of the purchase price included approximately $11.0 million in OP Units, which were valued based on the average of the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the ten consecutive trading days immediately before the closing date of the transaction. In a related transaction, the Company acquired a vacant 1.7 acre land parcel adjacent to Cumberland Mall for approximately $0.9 million in cash, which the Company has included in the aggregate $59.5 million purchase price.
PRI has managed and leased Cumberland Mall since 1997. Ronald Rubin and George Rubin controlled and had substantial ownership interests in Cumberland Mall Associates (a New Jersey limited partnership that owns Cumberland Mall) and the entity that owned the adjacent undeveloped parcel. Accordingly, a committee of non-management trustees evaluated the transactions on behalf of the Company. The committee obtained an independent appraisal and found the purchase price to be fair to the Company. The committee also approved the reduction of the fee received by PRI under the existing management agreement upon the sale of the mall from 3% of the purchase price to 1% of the purchase price. The fee received by PRI was treated as a reduction of the purchase price for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s Board of Trustees also approved the transaction.
The Company has agreed to provide tax protection related to its acquisition of Cumberland Mall Associates to the prior owners of Cumberland Mall Associates for a period of eight years following the closing. Ronald Rubin and George Rubin, are beneficiaries of this tax protection agreement.
F-36
Crown Merger
Mark E. Pasquerilla, who was elected as a trustee of the Company following the Crown merger, had a substantial ownership interest in Crown and its operating partnership and, as a consequence of the merger, directly or indirectly received a significant number of OP Units and shares of the Company. In addition, Mr. Pasquerilla is a party to several continuing arrangements with the Company, including the right to receive additional consideration related to the Merger as described in Note 11 as well as the following:
|
A contract for information technology and tax support services to the Company by an entity controlled by Mr. Pasquerilla, which is substantially complete; and a lease with an entity controlled by Mr. Pasquerilla for space in Crown's former headquarters in connection with the Company's post-closing transition activities, which now covers only a small amount of space. The Company paid $0.3 million and $0.1 million for these services in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In the third quarter of 2004, after obtaining the review and approval of the independent trustees of the Company, the Company sold certain personal property in Crown's former headquarters to an entity controlled by Mr. Pasquerilla for approximately $0.4 million. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss on the sale of the personal property; |
| The tax protection agreement described in Note 11; |
| Agreements by Mr. Pasquerilla not to acquire additional shares of the Company or to seek to acquire control of the Company within specified time periods and to forfeit certain benefits under the tax protection agreement upon selling shares of the Company within specified time periods or in excess of specified amounts; and |
|
A registration rights agreement covering the shares acquired and to be acquired by Mr. Pasquerilla in connection with the merger, an agreement by Mr. Pasquerilla not to compete with the Company for a period of time following the merger and an agreement to allow Mr. Pasquerilla and his affiliates to use certain intellectual property and domain names associated with the Crown name and logo. |
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Development Activities
The Company is involved in a number of development and redevelopment projects which may require equity funding by the Company, or third-party debt or equity financing. In each case, the Company will evaluate the financing opportunities available to it at the time the project requires funding. In cases where the project is undertaken with a partner, the Company's flexibility in funding the project may be governed by the partnership agreement or the covenants existing in its Credit Facility, which limit the Company's involvement in partnership projects. At December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $9.1 million committed to complete current development and redevelopment projects, which is expected to be financed through the Company's Credit Facility or through short-term construction loans.
Legal Actions
In the normal course of business, the Company becomes involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties and the properties it manages for third parties. In management's opinion, the resolutions of these legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June and July respectively, of 2003, a former administrative employee and a former building engineer of PRI pled guilty to criminal charges related to the misappropriation of funds at a property owned by Independence Blue Cross ("IBC") for which PRI provided certain management services. PRI provided these services from January 1994 to December 2001. The former employees worked under the supervision of the Director of Real Estate for IBC, who earlier pled guilty to criminal charges. Together with other individuals, the former PRI employees and IBC's Director of Real Estate misappropriated funds from IBC through a series of schemes. IBC has estimated its losses at approximately $14 million, and has alleged that PRI is responsible for such losses under the terms of a management agreement. To date, no lawsuit has been filed against PRI. The Company understands that IBC has recovered $5 million under fidelity policies issued by IBC's insurance carriers. In addition,
F-37
the Company understands that several defendants in the criminal proceedings have forfeited assets having an estimated value of approximately $5 million which have been or will be liquidated by the United States Justice Department and applied toward restitution. The restitution and insurance recoveries result in a significant mitigation of IBC's losses and potential claims against PRI, although PRI may be subject to subrogation claims from IBC's insurance carriers for all or a portion of the amounts paid by them to IBC. The Company believes that PRI has valid defenses to any potential claims by IBC. PRI has insurance to cover some or all of any potential payments to IBC, and has taken actions to preserve its rights with respect to such issuance. The Company is unable to estimate or determine the likelihood of any loss to the Company.
In April 2002, a partnership, of which a subsidiary of the Company holds a 50% interest, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Delaware Department of Transportation and its Secretary alleging failure of the Department and the Secretary to take actions agreed upon in a 1992 Settlement Agreement necessary for development of the Company's Christiana Phase II project. In October 2003, the Court decided that the Department did breach the terms of the 1992 Settlement Agreement and remitted the matter to the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for a determination of damages. The Delaware Department of Transportation appealed the Chancery Court's decision to the Delaware Supreme Court, which, in April 2004, affirmed the Chancery Court’s decision. The Company is not in a position to predict the outcome of this litigation or its ultimate effect on the construction of the Christiana Phase II project.
Environmental
The Company's management is aware of certain environmental matters at some of the Company's properties, including ground water contamination, above-normal radon levels, the presence of asbestos containing materials and lead-based paint. The Company has, in the past, performed remediation of such environmental matters, and the Company's management is not aware of any significant remaining potential liability relating to these environmental matters. The Company may be required in the future to perform testing relating to these matters. The Company's management can make no assurances that the amounts that have been reserved for these matters of $0.2 million will be adequate to cover future environmental costs. The Company has insurance coverage for pollution and on-site remediation up to $5.0 million per occurrence and up to $5.0 million in the aggregate.
Guarantees
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees; including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"), requires that a liability be recognized at the inception of a guarantee issued or modified after December 31, 2002, whether or not payment under the guarantee is probable. For guarantees entered into prior to December 31, 2002, the interpretation requires that certain information related to the guarantees be disclosed in the guarantor's financial statements.
The Company and its subsidiaries are guarantors of the Credit Facility, which had $271.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2004.
Tax Protection Agreements
The Company has provided tax protection of up to approximately $5.0 million related to the August 1998 acquisition of the Woods Apartments for a period of eight years ending in August 2006. Because the Woods Apartments were sold in connection with the disposition of the multifamily portfolio and because that transaction was treated as a tax-free exchange in connection with the acquisition of Exton Square Mall, The Gallery at Market East I and Moorestown Mall from The Rouse Company, the Company is now obligated to provide tax protection to the former owner of the Woods Apartments if the Company sells any of Exton Square Mall, The Gallery at Market East I or Moorestown Mall prior to August 2006.
In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a tax protection agreement with Mark E. Pasquerilla and entities affiliated with Mr. Pasquerilla (the "Pasquerilla Group"). Under this tax protection agreement, the Company agreed not to dispose of certain protected properties acquired in the Merger in a taxable transaction until November 20, 2011 or, if earlier, until the Pasquerilla Group collectively owns less than 25% of the aggregate of the shares and OP Units that they acquired in the Merger. If the Company violates the tax protection agreement during the first five years of the protection period, it would owe as damages the sum of the hypothetical tax owed by the Pasquerilla Group, plus an amount
F-38
intended to make the Pasquerilla Group whole for taxes that may be due upon receipt of those damages. From the end of the first five years through the end of the tax protection period, damages are intended to compensate the affected parties for interest expense incurred on amounts borrowed to pay the taxes incurred on the prohibited sale. If the Company were to sell properties in violation of the tax protection agreement, the amounts that the Company would be required to pay to the Pasquerilla Group could be substantial. Following the Merger, Mr. Pasquerilla joined the Companys board of trustees.
The Company has agreed to provide tax protection related to its acquisition of Cumberland Mall Associates (in February 2005) and New Castle Associates to the prior owners of Cumberland Mall Associates and New Castle Associates, respectively, for a period of eight years following the respective closings. Ronald Rubin and George Rubin are beneficiaries of these tax protection agreements.
The Company did not enter into any other guarantees or tax protection agreements in connection with its merger, acquisition or disposition activities in 2004 and 2003.
Other
In connection with the Crown merger, Crown's former operating partnership retained an 11% interest in the capital and 1% interest in the profits of two partnerships that own 12 shopping malls. This retained interest is subject to a put-call arrangement between Crown's former operating partnership and the Company, pursuant to which the Company has the right to require Crown's former operating partnership to contribute the retained interest to the Company following the 36th month after the closing of the Merger and Crown's former operating partnership has the right to contribute the retained interest to the Company following the 40th month after the closing of the Merger, in each case in exchange for 341,297 additional OP Units. Mark E. Pasquerilla and his affiliates control Crown's former operating partnership. The remaining partners of Crowns former operating partnership are entitled to a cumulative preferred distribution from the two partnerships that own the 12 shopping malls. The amount of the preferred distribution is based on the capital distributions made by the Companys operating partnership and amounted to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s primary business is owning and operating shopping malls and power and strip centers. The Company evaluates operating results and allocates resources on a property-by-property basis and does not distinguish or evaluate its consolidated operations on a geographic basis. Accordingly, the Company has determined it has a single reportable segment.
Prior to the sale of the multifamily portfolio in 2003, the Company had four reportable segments: (1) retail properties, (2) multifamily properties, (3) development and other, and (4) corporate. The retail segment included the operation and management of shopping malls and power and strip centers. The multifamily segment included the operation and management of apartment communities. The development and other segment included the operation and management of retail properties under development, industrial properties and various pre-development activities (all wholly-owned). The corporate segment included cash and investment management, real estate management and certain other general support functions.
The Company has presented segment information for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. The Company has not provided segment information for the year ended December 31, 2004 because it has determined that it operated as a single operating segment in 2004. The column entitled "Reconcile to GAAP" in the charts below reconciles the amounts presented under the proportionate-consolidation method (a non-GAAP measure) and in discontinued operations to the consolidated amounts reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income.
The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those the Company uses for consolidated financial reporting, except that, for segment reporting purposes, the Company uses the "proportionate-consolidation method" of accounting for investments in partnerships, instead of the equity method of accounting. The Company calculates the proportionate-consolidation method by applying its percentage ownership interest to the historical financial statements of its equity method investments.
The chief operating decision-making group for the Company's retail, multifamily, development and other and corporate segments was comprised of the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and the lead executives of each of the Company's operating segments. The lead executives of each operating segment also managed the profitability of each respective segment with a focus on net operating income. The chief operating decision-making group defines net operating income as real estate revenues minus property operating expenses. The operating segments were managed separately because each operating segment represents a different property type (retail or multifamily), as well as construction in progress and corporate services.

(1) | Includes gains (adjustments to gains) on sales of interests in real estate of approximately ($0.6) million (1 st Quarter 2004). |
(2) | Includes gains (adjustment to gains) on sales of interests in real estate of approximately ($0.6) million (1 st Quarter 2004), $1.5 million (3 rd Quarter 2004), and ($0.1) million (4 th Quarter 2004). There were no gains on sales of interests in real estate in the 2 nd Quarter of 2004. Also, the Company’s net income and net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2004 includes $1.1 million relating to a cumulative depreciation adjustment that was made by the Company’s partner (the property’s manager) to reflect depreciation expense for an operating property accounted for by the Company under the equity method. The reason for the adjustment is to appropriately reflect depreciation expense after a previous understatement. Of this amount, $0.3 million relates to interim periods in 2004. Of the remaining balance, $0.3 million relates to each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and $0.2 million relates to 2001. The Company does not believe that the adjustment is material to the previously reported interim financial statements for 2004 or to its previously reported annual financial statements for any prior year. |
F-42
(3) Fourth quarter revenues include a significant portion of annual percentage rents as most percentage rent minimum sales levels are met in the fourth quarter.
(4) Quarterly per-share amounts may not sum to the annual per-share amounts because of changes in outstanding shares during the year.
(5) Includes gains on sales of real estate properties of approximately $150.2 million (2nd Quarter 2003), $27.7 million (3rd Quarter 2003), and $0.2 million (4th Quarter 2003).
(6) Includes gains on sales of real estate properties and interests in real estate of approximately $1.2 million (1st Quarter 2003), $154.5 million (2nd Quarter 2003), $34.0 million (3rd Quarter 2003) and $4.6 million (4th Quarter 2003).
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As further described in Note 10, the Company acquired Cumberland Mall and an undeveloped 1.7 acre land parcel in February 2005.
The Credit Facility was amended in February 2005. Under the amended terms, the Credit Facility bears interest at a rate between 1.05% and 1.55% per annum over LIBOR based on the Company's leverage. In determining the Companys leverage, the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value is 8.25%. The Credit Facility, as amended, expires in November 2007 with an additional 14 month extension provided that there is no event of default at that time.
In February 2005, a partnership in which the Company holds a 40% interest entered into a definitive agreement to sell Laurel Mall in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, to Laurel Mall, LLC. The total sale price for the mall is approximately $33.5 million, including assumed debt of approximately $22.7 million. The Company’s share of the sale price is expected to be approximately $13.5 million, including assumed debt of approximately $9.1 million. The estimated net cash proceeds to PREIT are expected to be approximately $3.9 million after closing costs and adjustments. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2005, but is subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfactory completion of the buyer’s due diligence and the lender’s approval of the buyer’s assumption of the debt.
In February 2005, the Company repaid a second mortgage on Cherry Hill Mall with a principal balance of $59.0 million at the time of the repayment. The Company primarily utilized funds borrowed under the Credit Facility to repay the mortgage.
In January 2005, the Company approved the PREIT 2005-2008 Outperformance Program (the “Program”) for certain executive and non-executive officers of the Company. Under the Program, the Company will award shares of beneficial interest to the Program’s participants if PREIT’s total shareholder return meets certain thresholds.

REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT AND LEASING AGREEMENT
Premises: THE BELLEVUE, 200 SOUTH BROAD STREET
PHILADELPHIA, PA 19102
REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT AND LEASING AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of August, 1996 between THE RUBIN ORGANIZATION, INC., a Pennsylvania Corporation having an address at The Bellevue, Suite 300, 200 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102 (hereinafter referred to as the "Agent"), and BELLEVUE ASSOCIATES, a limited partnership, having an address at 200 South Broad Street, Suite 300, Philadelphia, PA 19102 (hereinafter referred to as the ("Owner").
W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the covenants herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY OF THE AGENT
1.1 The Owner hereby appoints the Agent as the exclusive managing and leasing
agent for the above described property excluding the hotel portion thereof (the
"Premises"), and hereby authorizes the Agent to exercise such powers with
respect to the Premises as may be necessary for the performance of the Agent's
obligations under Article II, and the Agent accepts such appointment on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth for a term as provided in Article
VII. Agent shall have no right or authority, expressed or implied, to commit or
otherwise obligate Owner in any manner whatsoever except to the extent
specifically provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
THE AGENT'S AGREEMENTS
2.1 The Agent, on behalf of the Owner, shall implement or cause to be implemented the decisions of the Owner relating to the Premises and within the scope of Agent's obligations as specified in this Agreement and shall conduct the ordinary and usual business affairs of the Owner with respect to the Premises solely as provided in this Agreement. The Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to:
(a) contract, for periods limited to the Owner's possession of the Premises, but not in excess of one year (without Owners prior consent), in the name and at the expense of the Owner, for gas, electricity, water, and such other services as are being currently furnished to the Premises. Service contracts shall be written to include a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation by the Owner wherever possible.
(b) at the expense of the Owner, select, employ, pay, supervise, direct and discharge an on-site manager, accountant and staff as well as all other employees necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Premises, in number and at initial wages not in excess of those shown on Exhibit A attached hereto or those required under any union contract then in effect, plus Agent's standard fringe benefit package, to carry Workers' Compensation Insurance (and, when required by law, compulsory Non-Occupational Disability Insurance) covering such employees, and to use reasonable care in the selection and supervision of such employees. The Agent shall be responsible for complying with all laws and regulations and collective bargaining agreements affecting such employment, and Agent shall negotiate with labor unions lawfully entitled to represent employees at the premises. The Agent will be and will continue throughout the term of this Agreement to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. All persons employed in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Premises shall be employees of the Agent, Agent's affiliates or Agent's contractors, and not of Owner. The Agent shall be reimbursed by the Owner in amounts not exceeding those which are in accordance with the approved budget for all expenses properly incurred by it for compensation of all employees necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Premises, including, without limitation, direct payroll, fringe benefits, employer's payroll taxes such as the employer's contribution to FICA, unemployment compensation, employer's contribution to any pension plan which is identified by the Agent to the Owner (including, without limitation, any withdrawal liability imposed on the Agent as a result of this Agreement pursuant to the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980), the cost of employee benefits required by law, workers compensation premiums, and any sum required to be paid to such employees under collective bargaining agreements made pursuant to the National Labor Relations Act.
(c) make all ordinary repairs and replacements (except those excluded by this Agreement), do all decorating and landscaping, and purchase all supplies necessary for the proper operation of the Premises or the fulfillment of the Owner's obligations under the lease affecting the Premises and compliance with all governmental and insurance requirements provided that the Agent shall not make any purchase or do any work, the cost of which shall exceed the amount set forth in Exhibit B without obtaining, in each instance, the prior consent of the Owner, except (i) in circumstances which the Agent shall deem to constitute an emergency requiring immediate action for the protection of the Premises or of tenants or other persons or to avoid the suspension of necessary services or (ii) where the expense is authorized by the approved budget. The Agent shall notify the Owner of the necessity for, the nature of, and the cost of any such emergency repairs of compliance. If Owner shall require, Agent shall submit, for Owner's prior written approval, a list of contractors and subcontractors performing tenant work, repairs, alterations or services at the Premises, under Agent's direction.
It is understood that if the Agent is requested by Owner to undertake the making or supervision of extensive repairs (such as re-roofing the Premises or a major portion thereof), alterations, renovations or reconstruction of the Premises or any part thereon that Owner shall pay Agent therefor pursuant to ss. 4.3 hereof and that such work is otherwise not required to be contracted for by Agent. The Owner shall receive the benefit of all discounts and rebates obtained by the Agent in its operation of the Premises.
If the Agent desires to contract for repair, construction, or any other service described in this subsection (c) with a party with respect to which any partner or shareholder of the Agent holds a beneficial interest, such interest shall be disclosed to and approved by the Owner before such services are procured. The cost of any such services shall likewise be at competitive rates notwithstanding that tenants of the Premises may be required to pay such costs. The Agent shall not employ any corporation or other entity in which the Agent (or any subsidiary, affiliate, or related corporation) shall have a financial interest for the purpose of making repairs and alterations or performing other services to the Premises, unless such work is done at a tenant's request and at tenant's sole expense (such work being hereinafter referred to as "Tenant Work"). The Agent, or general contractor working under the supervision of the Agent, is authorized to make and install such Tenant Work, and Agent may collect from such tenant or such general contractor, for its sole account, its charge for supervisory overhead on all such Tenant Work. The Agent shall hold the Owner harmless from any and all claims which may be advanced by any such tenant in connection with Tenant Work performed by the Agent or under the Agent's supervision. The Agent, however, shall not require any tenant to use the Agent, its subsidiaries, affiliates or related corporations or its general contractor to perform such Tenant Work.
(d) handle promptly complaints and requests from tenants, notify the Owner promptly (together with copies of supporting documentation) of any notice of violation of any governmental requirements, any material defect in the Premises and any fire or other damage to the Premises.
(e) notify the Owner's general liability insurance carrier and the Owner promptly of any bodily or personal injury or property damage occurring to or claimed by any tenant or third party on or with respect to the Premises and to forward promptly to the carrier any summons, subpoena, or other like legal document served upon the Agent relating to actual or alleged potential liability of the Owner, the Agent or the Premises.
(f) request from tenants any certificates of insurance and renewals thereof required to be furnished by the terms of leases, copies of which will be provided to the Owner upon request.
(g) receive and collect rent and all other monies payable to the Owner by all tenants and licensees in the Premises and to deposit the same promptly in the bank (the "Bank") named in Exhibit B in a bank account (the "Bank Account") in the name of Agent, as Agent for the Owner, which Bank Account shall be used exclusively for such funds. In the event state law requires tenant security deposits be held in a separate account, such account shall be established by the Agent as approved by the Owner.
The Owner or the Owner's designated representative will be a signatory on the Bank Account, but need not co-sign each check.
(h) collect such rent and other charges from tenants in a timely
manner and to pursue Owner's legal remedies for non-payment of
same, including the termination of leases for tenants in
default by the institution of legal action. Agent shall refer
all such matters requiring legal services to Agent's approved
attorneys listed on Exhibit B hereto or, at Agent's option,
have such legal work performed by Agent's in-house attorneys
or paralegals. The fees for all such legal services shall be
paid for by Owner, including (i) negotiation of leases,
including department store leases and reciprocal easement
agreements; (ii) preparation and negotiations of construction
contracts for renovations on the Premises; (iii) suits to

in-house attorneys or paralegals, Owner shall reimburse Agent
for the salary, fringe benefits, allocable share of rent and
other office overhead, in an amount equal to Fifteen Hundred
($1,500.00) Dollars for each lease so prepared and negotiated,
or such reasonable higher charge as is justified because of
the complexity of the lease in question. For lease assignments
and lease surrenders, the reimbursement shall be Five Hundred
($500.00) Dollars; and for all other legal work performed by
Agent's in-house attorneys or paralegals, the amount of the
reimbursement shall be Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars per hour
for Agent's in-house attorneys and Seventy-Five ($75.00)
Dollars per hour for all work performed by Agent's in-house
paralegals. Such attorneys and paralegals shall keep time
records substantiating the hours charged and on request such
records may be inspected by Owner. Agent may deduct the amount
to be reimbursed from the Bank Account. With respect to any
litigation involving sums due from tenants, Agent is
authorized to compromise such litigation without Owner's
consent so long as such compromise does not involve a
forgiveness of sums due by such tenant in excess of Fifteen
Thousand ($15,000.00) Dollars.
(i) bond the Agent and all of the Agent's employees who may handle or be responsible for monies or property of the Owner with a "comprehensive 3-D" or "Commercial Blanket" bond, in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars.
(j) notify the Owner immediately of any fire, accident or other casualty, condemnation proceedings, rezoning or other governmental order, or lawsuit or threat thereof involving the Premises; and violations relative to the leasing, use, repair and maintenance of the Premises under governmental laws, rules, regulations, ordinances or like provisions. The Agent will not bear responsibility for non-compliance unless such non-compliance is due to the negligence of the Agent or its employees.
(k) check tax assessments and promptly furnish Owner with copies of all assessment notices and receipted tax bills and, if requested by Owner, Agent agrees to retain an expert to bring an appeal at Owner's expense before any taxing authority relative to the Premises.
(l) subject to Owner's making funds available to do so, cause the Premises to comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and local governments, courts, departments, commissions, boards and offices, any national or local Board of Fire Underwriters or Insurance Services offices having jurisdiction, or any other body exercising functions similar to those of any of the foregoing which may be applicable to the Premises or any part thereof or to the leasing, use, repair, operation or management thereof. Such compliance shall be undertaken in the name of Owner, and be at Owner's expense. Agent shall give prompt written notice to Owner of any violation or notice of alleged violation of such laws and Agent shall not bear responsibility for failure of the Premises or the operation thereof to comply with such laws unless Agent has committed negligence or a willful act or omission in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
2.2 The Agent agrees that on or before the 20th day of each month to render to Owner monthly cash basis reports itemized in reasonable detail relating to the management and operation of the Premises for the preceding calendar month. The names and addresses of the persons who shall receive said reports are set forth in Exhibit B. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Agent is authorized to pay all bills for the operation of the Premises from the rentals and other income of the Premises, including the Agent's fee and reimbursable items set forth in this Agreement, and the Agent shall remit to the Owner the net receipts after such payments with such monthly report. Prior to Owner's default or the termination of this Agreement the Owner shall, at any time, have the right to require the transfer to the Owner of any funds in the Bank Account considered by the Owner and Agent to be in excess of an amount reasonably required by the Agent for disbursement purposes in connection with the Premises. In the event Agent determines that there is not sufficient funds in the Bank Account to pay when due all expenses of the Premises and reimbursements due Agent, Owner shall, within five (5) days of request, deposit into such account additional funds in the amount requested by Agent. The Agent agrees to keep full and detailed records with respect to the management and operation of the Premises and to retain those records for periods specified by the Owner, not to exceed three (3) years after the year in question. The Owner shall have the right to inspect such records and audit the reports required by this Section during business hours for the life of this Agreement, and at times mutually agreeable to Owner and Agent.
2.3 The Agent shall exercise reasonable diligence to exert such control over accounting and financial transactions as is reasonably required to protect the Owner's assets from loss or diminution due to error, negligence or willful misconduct or wanton acts on the part of the Agent, its employees, agents or contractors. Losses caused by failure to exercise reasonable diligence shall be borne by Agent.
2.4 The Agent shall prepare and submit to the Owner a proposed operating and capital budget for the promotion, operation, repair and maintenance of the Premises for each calendar year. Preliminary and final budgets will be due one hundred twenty (120) and seventy-five (75) days, respectively, prior to the end of each calendar year. Such budgets shall be prepared on a cash basis showing a month by month projection of income and expense and capital expenditures and shall be accompanied by proposed leasing guidelines for the next ensuing calendar year which shall contain a brief narrative description of the anticipated market, a projection of cash flow for such year, listing expiring leases for the next following year as well as project ranges of rental rates and terms for new or renewal leases, estimates of concessions to tenants and of cost estimates of alterations for space to be leased. The annual budget shall be deemed approved unless Agent receives written notification of disapproval within thirty (30) days after the date such budget was tendered to Owner for approval. Owner shall have the right to disapprove line items in such budget or the entire budget. In the event of a line item disapproval, all portions of the budget not disapproved shall automatically be deemed approved. In the event of such disapproval of the budget or any specific line items thereof, the parties will promptly meet and resolve such differences and Agent will promptly thereafter resubmit a revised budget to Owner who shall have an additional ten (10) days to approve or disapprove the same and such procedure shall continue until the budget has been approved. If Owner shall fail to disapprove the revised budget within ten (10) days of receipt, the same shall be deemed approved. Agent is authorized for the account of Owner to make any expenditures or to incur any obligations or implement any items which are included in the approved annual budget without further approval from Owner being required. Such budgets and all other financial reporting to be prepared by Agent shall be prepared using Agent's then standard format and software. Agent shall not be obligated to use any other financial format or software unless same is satisfactory to Agent, Owner purchases same for Agent and Owner pays all of the training expenses for Agent's employees relating to such software.
After approval of each such budget by the Owner, the Agent agrees to use diligence and to employ all reasonable efforts so that the actual costs of operating the Premises shall not materially exceed said approved budget without the Owner's approval. The Agent shall promptly notify the Owner if the Agent reasonably anticipates any such line item materially exceeding the amount therefor in the approved budget.
2.5 Agent agrees, for itself and all persons retained or employed by Agent in performing its services, to hold in confidence and not to use or disclose to others any confidential or proprietary information of Owner heretofore or hereafter disclosed to Agent including, but not limited to, any data, information, plans, programs, processes, costs, operations or tenants which may come within the knowledge of Agent in the performance of or as a result of its services, except where Owner specifically authorizes Agent to disclose any of the foregoing to others or such disclosure reasonably results from the performance of Agent's duties hereunder or is required to be disclosed pursuant to litigation.
2.6 The Agent agrees to use its best efforts to have the Premises rented to desirable tenants, satisfactory to the Owner considering the nature of the Premises, and in connection therewith to negotiate business terms for relocation and/or expansions, new leases and renewals of leases at appropriate times, it being understood that all inquiries to the Owner with respect to leasing any portion of the Premises shall be referred to the Agent. At least once per year Owner and Agent shall meet and mutually develop a "leasing game plan" for the ensuing calendar year which game plan shall specify projected vacancies, projected rentals and other pertinent terms of new leases or lease renewals, costs to be incurred in obtaining tenants and other relevant matters. Owner hereby authorizes Agent to implement the approved leasing game plan and to negotiate and execute leases in accordance therewith and confirms that any leases so executed shall be deemed approved by Owner and Owner shall pay Agent the leasing commission set forth in this Agreement with respect to each lease executed by a tenant consistent with the leasing game plan. Agent is hereby given the exclusive right to lease the Premises on behalf of Owner and Owner shall pay to Agent the leasing commission set forth in Exhibit B regardless of who may negotiate the same, including Owner. All leases and renewals shall be prepared by the Agent on the Agent's form lease, and such leases shall either be executed by Agent on behalf of Owner or, at Agent's option shall be executed by the Owner. The Agent agrees it will observe the specific leasing guidelines, if any, set forth in the approved budget or otherwise made known to the Agent in writing by the Owner. In the event the Agent shall have a prospective tenant reference from another property in the local market area where the Premises are located in which the Agent has a beneficial interest or which the Agent manages, the Agent shall declare its potential conflict of interest to the Owner, and the Owner shall determine if negotiations shall be undertaken by the Agent, the Owner, or a third parry appointed by the Owner. References of prospective tenants, as well as their varying use requirements, shall be investigated by the Agent.
2.7 Anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall require Agent to take any action (and Agent will not be in default for failure to take any action) to the extent and wherever there is provided a limitation on Agent's ability to expend funds or incur obligations with respect to the Premises.
(b) Unless expressly provided, Agent shall not be responsible or obligated to advance own funds for any purpose in the performance of Agent's duties under this Agreement.
(c) Agent shall not be obligated to pay or perform any liability or obligation or take any action under this Agreement which is to be done at the expense of Owner or for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement from Owner unless funds for such purpose are available in the Bank Account or have otherwise been made available to Agent by Owner.
(d) Wherever Agent is obligated to use its "best efforts" under this Agreement such term is intended to signify and shall mean that Agent shall exercise its professional skill and expertise with diligence and in a commercially reasonable manner and consistent with high quality practice for the management of similar buildings located in the geographic area in which the Premises are situate. However, a "best efforts" standard shall
not impose additional duties or obligations on Agent not set forth in this Agreement, such as by way of example, an obligation to advance Agent's funds or to commence litigation against third parties, or to take extraordinary actions or to perform services not customarily provided by managers of comparable buildings in the local geographic area. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Agent to perform the obligations of others or exercise any efforts (other than reasonable efforts) to cause them to perform such obligations.
(e) Everything done by Agent in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and all expenses incurred pursuant hereto shall be for and on behalf of Owner and for its account and at its expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all debts and liabilities incurred to third parties in accordance with the annual budget and in the ordinary course of business of managing the Premises are and shall be obligations of Owner, and Agent shall not be liable for any such obligations by reason of its management, supervision or operation of the Premises for Owner.
(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Agent to operate or maintain the hotel portion of the Premises.
ARTICLE III
THE OWNER'S AGREEMENTS
3.1 The Owner, at its option, may pay directly all taxes, special assessments, ground rents, insurance premiums and mortgage payments, in which event Owner shall notify Agent of such.
3.2 The Owner shall carry (or cause to be carried) insurance upon the Premises and shall look solely to such insurance for indemnity against any loss or damage to the Premises except when caused by the wilful act or omission or negligence of the Agent or its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors. However, Agent shall not be liable to Owner for any loss or damage to the Premises even if caused by the willful act or omission or gross negligence of Agent or its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors to the extent any such loss or damage is covered by Owner's insurance. To the extent any loss or damage to the Premises is covered or should have been covered by Owner's insurance, Agent is released from liability therefor and Owner waives its right of subrogation against Agent. The Owner shall purchase, or have Agent purchase for Owner and at Owner's expense, and maintain policies of comprehensive general liability insurance, including personal injury liability and contractual liability, in an amount determined by Agent but, in any event not less than $5,000,000.00 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage. Said policies shall name the Agent as an additional insured thereunder. The Owner shall advise the Agent as to the name and address of any insurance carriers for insurance placed by Owner directly. If Owner desires Agent to purchase property damage or liability insurance for the Premises, Owner shall pay Agent an annual fee representing a pro rata share of the fee Agent pays to participate in its group insurance coverage pool.
3.3 Owner agrees (a) to indemnify, hold and save Agent free and harmless from any claim for damages or injuries to persons or property resulting from: (1) Agent carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or acting under direction of Owner, (2) Owner's failure or refusal to comply with or abide by any rule, order, determination, ordinance or law of any federal, state or municipal authority, (3) Owner's failure or refusal to comply with or abide by or perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement, (4) any defects, conditions or situations with respect to the Premises which Agent has disclosed to Owner and requested Owner's permission to correct or rectify, (5) the willful misconduct or criminal activity of any third person or agency, except as to Agent and its employees, agents and representatives with respect to the Premises or (6) the negligent or willful acts of Owner or Owner's representatives, officers, employees and agents; and (b) to defend promptly and diligently at Owner's expense, any claim, action or proceeding against Agent and/or Agent and Owner, jointly or severally, arising out of or connected with any of the foregoing, and to hold harmless and fully indemnify Agent from any judgment, loss or settlement on account thereof. The undertaking of Owner as set forth above shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement as to all liabilities accruing during the term hereof.
3.4 If Owner requests Agent to perform certain designated additional management services and the parties agree to the exact nature, scope and time frame for the performance thereof, then Owner shall pay the Agent the agreed upon fee for Agent's performance of such services, such payment to be made within twenty (20) days after receipt of a bill therefor. Such payment shall be made in addition to the fees and reasonable expenses otherwise stated herein. In performing any specialized management services for Owner, Agent shall not be liable to Owner for errors, inaccuracies, mistakes or the consequences thereof, relating to the performance of such services provided Agent has performed the services in good faith. Owner hereby waives, releases and discharges Agent from all errors, inaccuracies, mistakes and the consequences thereof relating to the performance of such services, except to the extent Agent has not performed such services in good faith.
3.5 The Owner hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as the sole and exclusive broker for any sale and/or re-financing of the Premises and agrees to pay Agent a fee of one (1%) percent of the principal amount of any refinancing and a sales commission of three (3%) percent of the gross sales price for the Premises, each such fee to be paid at the closing involved. Such fee shall include Agent's fee for any due diligence work required to accomplish such refinancing and/or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not be entitled to any fee with respect to the initial refinancing of the presently existing Bankers' Trust mortgage or the presently existing first mortgage lien applicable to the garage. With respect to Agent's acting as the sole and exclusive broker for any sale of the Premises, if the Premises have not been placed under an acceptable agreement of sale within one hundred eighty (180) days after Agent is authorized to sell the same, such exclusive agency agreement shall terminate and thereafter Owner shall have the right to retain other brokers to sell the Premises.
3.6 Owner agrees to make available to Agent, free of charge, an on-site office to be utilized in connection with Agent's leasing of the Premises. In addition, Owner shall reimburse Agent monthly for all travel expenses, leasing and marketing materials, demographic and marketing studies signage and advertising incurred by Agent during the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Agent shall have the right to install signage on the Premises in
furtherance of its obligation to lease the Premises. Owner shall cause the Premises to participate in Agent's wide area network data transmission system and shall lease or purchase for the Premises any wiring, phone, computers, routers or software upgrades that Agent deems necessary to access the system.
3.7 Agent has afforded Owner the benefit of Agent's blanket policy of workmen's compensation insurance. Such policy provides that Agent is required to pay in full, in advance, the annual premium for such policy. Owner shall reimburse Agent, on demand, its share of such premium, such share being determined by the actual payroll and rate classifications statutorily mandated in the state where the Premises is located. Owner acknowledges that should this contract be terminated during the policy year, there shall be no proration of Owner's premium payment as between Owner and Agent unless or until Agent receives a refund for the unused portion of such premium from the insurance carrier.
ARTICLE IV
MANAGEMENT AND OTHER FEES
4.1 As the management fee for the services performed pursuant to Article II, the Owner agrees to pay the Agent at the rate specified in Exhibit B and Exhibit C. Said fee shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month. Agent shall withdraw said fee and all of its reimbursable expenses from the Bank Account for the Premises and shall account for same as provided for in Section 2.2 hereof.
4.2 With respect to any space occupied by the Owner, the Agent shall be entitled to no leasing commissions but shall be entitled to a management fee as though the Owner were paying rent at the average square foot rental rate being paid for comparable space in the Premises.
4.3 If Owner requests Agent to perform supervisory or administrative services with respect to any renovation, expansion, tenant fit-out work or other repair or construction project at the Premises which would involve "hard" costs in excess of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000.00) Dollars, Owner shall pay Agent a construction management fee equal to two (2%) percent of the "hard" costs of such work, such fee to be paid in three equal installments, one-third upon the commencement of such work, the second third upon fifty (50%) percent completion and a final payment upon substantial completion of the project.

In the event Agent utilizes Agent's own in-house architect or engineer in lieu of retaining the services of an independent architect or engineer, the amount of such reimbursement shall be based upon the approximate hourly wage and other benefits paid by Agent to such architect or engineer.
4.5 Owner shall pay Agent for implementing a year round program of short term specialty retail leasing, including Christmas kiosks, carts, in line temporary space and special events, twenty-five (25%) percent of the gross annual income collected by Agent with respect to the leasing of such specialty retail units.

payable to Owner, percentage rent and all additional rental payable by the
tenant. In the event a tenant fails to take possession and pay rent, Agent will
refund to Owner any commission received. When leases are negotiated by an
outside broker, the Agent shall cooperate with such brokers. The leasing
commission will be paid to Agent if within a period of six (6) months after the
expiration of the term of this Agreement Owner leases all or any portion of the
Premises, irrespective of the terms of such lease, to any prospect introduced to
the Premises by Agent prior to the expiration of the term, provided that Agent
shall have informed Owner in writing of the name of the prospect within thirty
(30) days after the expiration of the term hereof. With respect to all such
pending leases, Agent is authorized by Owner to continue negotiations and
documentation on all such deals. In addition, in the event Owner sells the
Premises, at the time of such sale Owner shall pay Agent the leasing commission
due for any lease approved by Owner and submitted to the tenant even if such
lease is then unsigned.
ARTICLE VI

7.2 In the event a party hereto (the "Defaulting Party") (a) defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement after twenty (20) days' notice from the other party hereto, except for defaults not susceptible to cure within twenty (20) days, provided as to such defaults the Defaulting Party has commenced to cure within such twenty (20) day period and diligently prosecutes each cure; or (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) has appointed a receiver, liquidator or trustee of its property; or (d) is adjudicated to be a bankrupt or insolvent; or (e) has filed by or against it any petition for the bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement of the Defaulting Party or, if such appointment, adjudication or petition be involuntary and not consented to by the Defaulting Party and fails to proceed diligently to have the same discharged or dismissed, then the other party hereto may forthwith terminate this Agreement upon giving ten (10) days' written notice to the Defaulting Party.
7.3 This Agreement shall terminate at the election of the Owner upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Agent if the Premises are sold by the Owner to a non-affiliated third party purchaser or automatically if the Premises were acquired by the Owner on foreclosure of a mortgage and are subsequently redeemed. In the event the Premises are sold by the Owner to a non-affiliated third party purchaser and this Agreement is not thereby terminated by the Owner, the Agent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice. The term "non-affiliate" as used herein shall mean any entity which is not an "affiliate" as such term is defined in Section 8.1 hereof. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Agent shall deliver the following to the Owner or the Owner's duly appointed agent on or before thirty (30) days following the termination date:
(a) A final accounting, reflecting the balance of income and expense for the Premises as of the date of termination;
(b) Any balance or monies due to the Owner or tenant security deposits, or both, held by the Agent with respect to the Premises except for reasonable amounts to pay for services already provided; and
(c) All records, contracts, drawings, leases, correspondence, receipts for deposits, unpaid bills, summary of all leases in existence at the time of termination, and all other papers or documents which pertain to the Premises.

7.4 Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement by the Owner, the Owner shall reimburse the Agent within thirty (30) days after receipt of documents from the Agent supporting such expenses, for all sums as may be necessary to satisfy known obligations which the Agent has incurred for the Owner's accounts as authorized under this Agreement, including all severance payments relating to employees at the Premises who are not retained by Owner.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, Agent shall assign to Owner or Owner's nominee all service, supply and other contracts and agreements pertaining to the Premises entered into by Agent in accordance with this Agreement and thereupon Owner shall be fully responsible and liable for the performance of all obligations of Agent under all such contracts and agreements occurring after the date of such assignment and Agent shall have no further responsibility or liability with respect thereto. Owner shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless with respect to all such contracts. Any termination permitted hereunder shall not prejudice Agent's right to receive amounts to which Agent is entitled hereunder on account of services rendered by Agent prior to said termination.
7.5 The parties agree that it is not within the intention of the Agreement that the Agent be required to advance its own funds to assist with the maintenance or operation of the Premises or, except as provided in Paragraph 6.1 hereof, to compensate personnel employed by the Agent hereunder. Nevertheless, if the Agent does in good faith advance its own funds for purposes authorized herein or for emergency repairs, the Owner shall promptly reimburse the Agent without interest upon receipt of proper documentation.
