Risk Factors
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS
We expect to continue to experience rapid growth and may not be able to adapt our management and operational systems to respond to the integration of additional properties without significant disruption or expense.
10
Our future developments, acquisitions and investment opportunities may not yield the returns we expect or may result in shareholder dilution.
Our results of operations will be significantly influenced by the economies of the markets in which we operate, and the market for retail space generally.
We had approximately $283 million of consolidated indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2004, which may impede our operating performance and reduce our ability to incur additional indebtedness to fund our growth.
11
Our financial covenants may restrict our operating and acquisition activities.
Failure by any major tenant with leases in multiple locations to make rental payments to us, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, could seriously harm our performance.
We may be unable to collect balances due from any tenants in bankruptcy.
12
We may experience reduced revenue with respect to our Glendale Mall property while we evaluate strategic alternatives with respect to this property.
Our current and future joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture partners financial condition, any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners and our exposure to potential losses from the actions of our joint venture partners.
13
Adverse market conditions may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire and require us to undertake unbudgeted capital improvements, which could harm our business.
We face significant competition, which may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, require us to undertake unbudgeted capital improvements, or impede our ability to make future developments or acquisitions or increase the cost of these developments or acquisitions.
14
We may not be successful in identifying suitable development projects or acquisitions that meet our criteria, which may impede our growth.
Redevelopment activities may be delayed or otherwise may not perform as expected.
We may not be able to sell properties when appropriate.
15
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry.
16
RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE
Our organizational documents contain provisions that generally would prohibit any person (other than members of the Kite family who, as a group, are currently allowed to own up to 21.5% of our outstanding Common Shares) from beneficially owning more than 7% of our outstanding Common Shares (or up to 9.8% in the case of certain designated investment entities, as defined in our declaration of trust), which may discourage third parties from conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for our shares or otherwise benefit our shareholders.
17
Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control.
18
Our management has limited experience operating a REIT or a public company.
Certain officers and trustees may have interests that conflict with the interests of shareholders.
Certain members of our management team have outside business interests that could require time and attention.
We depend on external capital.
Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to take action against our trustees and officers are limited.
19
We may have assumed liabilities in connection with our formation transactions.
Our shareholders have limited ability to prevent us from making any changes to our policies that they believe could harm our business, prospects, operating results or share price.
Our share price could be volatile and could decline, resulting in a substantial or complete loss on our shareholders investment.
20
A substantial number of our Common Shares will be eligible for sale in the near future, which could cause our Common Share price to decline significantly.
TAX RISKS
Failure of our company to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to us and our shareholders.
21
We will pay some taxes even if we qualify as a REIT.

at least 90% of our taxable income. Under certain circumstances, we could be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distributions in order to meet such requirements. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 99.05% of our distributions to shareholders constituted a return of capital and approximately 0.95% constituted taxable ordinary income dividends.
