A reconciliation of net income to FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release. Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $3,823,000, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared with net income for the second quarter of 2010 of $4,431,000, or $0.46 per share.

FFO per diluted share was $1.17 compared with $1.32 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

"We are pleased with our operating results for the second quarter," said Joey Agree, President and Chief Operating Officer. "We substantially completed our Berkeley, California project on behalf of Walgreens during the second quarter of this year. Our development and acquisition pipelines continue to grow and produce high-quality net lease opportunities."
Borders Bankruptcy Status
Borders Group, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, including Borders, Inc., has been operating in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy since February 16, 2011. In July 2011, Borders, being unable to conclude a sale as a going concern, sought and received the bankruptcy court's approval for the liquidation of all of the assets of Borders, including its leases. The Company has seven locations currently leased by Borders. The Borders liquidation will negatively affect the Company's future operating results due to the closure of the additional Borders locations. Until Borders determines its plan for each of the Company's locations, there will be uncertainty in determining the ultimate impact on the Company's operations. The Company has been actively marketing all of the Borders locations for potential retenanting or disposition.
The former Borders location in Wichita, Kansas has been leased to Vitamin Cottage Natural Food Markets, Inc. They plan to open a Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage store in the location.
Dividend
The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.40 per share on July 12, 2011 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2011. The dividend is equivalent to an annualized dividend of $1.60 per share and represents a payout ratio of 74.0% of FFO for the quarter.
Portfolio
At June 30, 2011, the Company's total assets were $281,363,000 and its portfolio consisted of 81 properties located in 17 states and totaling 3,803,850 square feet of gross leasable space. The portfolio was 96.6% leased at the end of the quarter.
The Company's construction in progress balance totaled approximately $308,000 at June 30, 2011.

(1) FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to mean net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the Company's business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of the Company's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to the NAREIT definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use the same definition. |
