LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2002 (Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except per share data) (1) The Company ----------- Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (the "Company") is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio of net leased office, industrial and retail properties. The real properties owned by the Company are generally subject to triple net leases to corporate tenants. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had an ownership interest in 101 properties and managed an additional 2 properties. The Company believes it has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A REIT is generally not subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders, provided that at least 90% of taxable income is distributed. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made. The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the condition and results for the interim periods. For a more complete understanding of the Company's operations and financial position, reference is made to the financial statements (including the notes thereto) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------------------ Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries, including Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. ("LCIF"), Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. ("LCIF II") and Net 3 Acquisition L.P. ("Net 3"). The Company is the sole stockholder of each of the general partner and the majority limited partner of LCIF, LCIF II and Net 3. Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income reduced by preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share amounts are similarly computed but include the effect, when dilutive, of in-the-money common share options, preferred shares, operating partnership units and exchangeable redeemable secured notes. The Company's preferred shares are excluded from the nine months ended September 30, 2002 computation since they are anti-dilutive. The Company's preferred shares, operating partnership units and exchangeable redeemable secured notes are excluded from the 2001 computations since they are anti-dilutive. The Company's preferred shares were converted into common shares in April 2002 and the exchangeable redeemable secured notes were redeemed in July 2001. Recently Issued Accounting Standards. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," had no impact of the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 which rescinds SFAS No. 4 which required all gains and losses on extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 145 effective January 1, 2003. Had the statement been adopted earlier, the extraordinary item recorded in 2001 would have been eliminated and the charge would have been reflected in interest expense. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 which requires that exit or disposal costs be recorded when incurred and be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 146 is effective for an exit or disposal activity initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect that this statement will have any effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The most 5
significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable (primarily related to straight-line rents) and the useful lives of depreciable assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation. (3) Earnings per Share ------------------ The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- ---- BASIC <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Income before extraordinary item $ 7,646 $ 4,921 $ 23,486 $ 14,859 Less preferred dividends -- (672) (693) (2,016) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Income attributed to common shareholders before extraordinary item 7,646 4,249 22,793 12,843 Extraordinary item -- (2,874) -- (3,144) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net income attributed to common shareholders $ 7,646 $ 1,375 $ 22,793 $ 9,699 ============ ============ ============ ============ Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 27,165,248 20,615,907 26,095,976 18,364,342 ============ ============ ============ ============ Income per common share - basic: Income before extraordinary item $ 0.28 $ 0.21 $ 0.87 $ 0.70 Extraordinary item -- (0.14) -- (0.17) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net income $ 0.28 $ 0.07 $ 0.87 $ 0.53 ============ ============ ============ ============ DILUTED Income attributed to common shareholders before extraordinary item - basic $ 7,646 $ 4,249 $ 22,793 $ 12,843 Add incremental income attributed to assumed conversion of dilutive securities 1,421 -- 4,225 -- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Income attributed to common shareholders before extraordinary item - diluted 9,067 4,249 27,018 12,843 Extraordinary item -- (2,874) -- (3,144) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net income attributed to common shareholders - diluted $ 9,067 $ 1,375 $ 27,018 $ 9,699 ============ ============ ============ ============ Weighted average number of common shares used in calculation of basic earnings per share 27,165,248 20,615,907 26,095,976 18,364,342 Add incremental shares representing: Shares issuable upon exercise of employee share options 253,723 396,092 237,387 310,361 Shares issuable upon conversion of dilutive securities 5,258,930 -- 5,281,129 -- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average number of shares used in calculation of diluted earnings per common share 32,677,901 21,011,999 31,614,492 18,674,703 ============ ============ ============ ============ Income per common share-diluted: Income before extraordinary item $ 0.28 $ 0.20 $ 0.85 $ 0.69 Extraordinary item -- (0.13) -- (0.17) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net income $ 0.28 $ 0.07 $ 0.85 $ 0.52 ============ ============ ============ ============ </TABLE> 6

In addition, the Company sold a 77% interest in a property (along with the related non-recourse mortgage) in Florence, South Carolina for net proceeds of $4,414 and deferred a $671 gain on sale since the purchasers can put their interests in the property to the Company for a six month period commencing January 2004 for $4,581. The following pro forma operating information for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 has been prepared as if all Company acquisitions and dispositions (including non-consolidated entities) in 2002 and 2001 had been consummated as of January 1, 2001. The information does not purport to be indicative of what the operating results of the Company would have been had the acquisitions and dispositions been consummated on January 1, 2001. Pro forma amounts are as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> September 30, 2002 2001 ---- ---- <S> <C> <C> Revenues $77,873 $77,088 Income before extraordinary item $24,015 $22,359 Net income $24,015 $19,215 Income before extraordinary item per common share Basic $ 0.89 $ 0.89 Diluted $ 0.87 $ 0.83 Net income per common share Basic $ 0.89 $ 0.75 Diluted $ 0.87 $ 0.73 </TABLE> (5) Investment in Non-Consolidated Entities --------------------------------------- The Company has investments in four non-consolidated entities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of rental revenues, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the following tenants represented greater than 10% of rental revenues: <TABLE> <S> <C> Northwest Pipeline Corporation 11% Kmart Corporation 12% </TABLE> Both of these tenants are publicly registered companies subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and accordingly file financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 8
(7) Minority Interests ------------------ In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions, sellers were given interests in LCIF, LCIF II, or Net 3 as a form of consideration. All of such interests are redeemable at certain times for common shares on a one-for-one basis at various dates through November 2006. As of September 30, 2002, the total number of limited partnership units of LCIF, LCIF II and Net 3 outstanding was 5,258,778. These units, subject to certain adjustments through the date of redemption, currently have annual distributions per unit in varying amounts from $0 to $1.32 per unit with a weighted average distribution of $1.17 per unit. (8) Related Party Transactions -------------------------- In January 2002, the Company issued 34,483 common shares in respect of a 15 year, 8% interest only recourse note to an officer for $500. The note provides for forgiveness of the principal balance under certain circumstances. In 2001, the Company earned $112 in asset management fees from two partnerships controlled by the Company's Chairman. The Company incurred reimbursable expenses relating to these partnerships of $411. In 2002 and 2001, LRA earned fees (acquisition and management fees) from LAC, Florence and Columbia of $1,105 and $643, respectively. All related party transactions are approved by the independent members of the Board of Trustees. (9) Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- The Company has entered into a $4,824 land purchase and development agreement to develop a property in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Company funded $2,464 in costs through October 31, 2002 and completion of the project is expected in mid 2003. Upon completion, the property will be subject to a lease which will expire 12 years after initial occupancy and provide for estimated annual net rent of 12.24% of total development costs. The Company has committed to purchase a property in Fort Mill, South Carolina for $17,933, upon its completion which is expected to occur in December 2002. The property will be subject to a 10 year lease which will provide estimated annual net rent of approximately $2,093. The Company has committed to enter into a mortgage note for $11,656 to partially fund the purchase price. The mortgage will be a 10 year, non-recourse note bearing interest at 6.00%, with annual debt service payments of $839 and a balloon payment of $9,886 at maturity. The Company, including its non-consolidated entities, are obligated under certain tenant leases to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. The Company is involved in various legal actions occurring in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. (10) Supplemental Disclosure of Statement of Cash Flow Information ------------------------------------------------------------- During 2002 and 2001, the Company made interest payments of $24,241 and $22,968, respectively. During 2002, the Company sold a property to a newly formed a tenancy-in-common (Florence) with unrelated parties for $4,414 in net proceeds and a deemed capital contribution of $643. During 2002 and 2001, the Company issued 64,249 and 100,000 common shares, respectively, to certain employees and trustees resulting in $996 and $1,181 of deferred compensation, respectively. These common shares vest ratably, primarily over a 5 year period. During 2002, the Company issued 34,483 common shares in respect of a 15 year, 8% interest only recourse note to an officer for $500. The note provides for forgiveness of the principal balance under certain circumstances. During 2002 and 2001, holders of an aggregate of 49,584 and 412,275 partnership units redeemed such units for common shares of the Company. These redemptions resulted in an increase in shareholders' equity and corresponding decrease in minority interest of $599 and $5,625, respectively. During 2001, the Company purchased a property in Winchester, Virginia for $14,400 of which $10,800 was financed by the seller through a purchase money note. (11) Shareholders' Equity -------------------- In April 2002, the holder of the Company's 2,000,000 preferred shares converted its interest into 2,000,000 common shares. In September 2002, the Company sold 2,400,000 common shares at $15.85 per share raising net proceeds of $36,118. 9

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------------------------------ Forward-Looking Statements - -------------------------- When used in this Form 10-Q Report, the words "believes," "expects," "estimates" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially. In particular, among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are failure of continued qualification as a real estate investment trust, changes in general business and economic conditions, competition, increases in real estate construction costs, changes in interest rates, changes in accessibility of debt and equity capital markets and other risks inherent in the real estate business including tenant defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters and illiquidity of real estate investments. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. General - ------- The Company, which has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, acquires, owns and manages net leased commercial properties. The Company believes it has operated as a REIT since October 1993. As of September 30, 2002, the Company owned (or had interests in) 101 real estate properties and managed 2 additional properties. Critical Accounting Policies - ---------------------------- The Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates that affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities reported. The following are critical accounting policies which are both very important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results and which require some of management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. The accounting for these matters involves the making of estimates based on current facts, circumstances and assumptions which could change in a manner that would materially affect management's future estimate with respect to such matters. Accordingly, future reported financial conditions and results could differ materially from financial conditions and results reported based on management's current estimates. Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 "Accounting for Leases" (SFAS No.13). SFAS No.13 requires that revenue be recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Accounts Receivable. The Company continuously monitors collections from its tenants and would make a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and any specific tenant collection issues that the Company has identified. Real Estate. The Company evaluates the carrying value of all real estate held to determine if an impairment has occurred which would require the recognition of a loss. The evaluation includes reviewing anticipated cash flows of the property, based on current leases in place, coupled with an estimate of proceeds to be realized upon sale. However, estimating future sale proceeds is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results. 10
Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Real Estate Assets. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's real estate assets were located in 30 states and Canada and contained an aggregate of approximately 19.2 million square feet of net rentable space. The properties are generally subject to triple net leases, which are generally characterized as leases in which the tenant pays all or substantially all of the cost and cost increases for real estate taxes, capital expenditures, insurance and ordinary maintenance of the property. Approximately 99.1% of square feet is subject to a lease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company purchased seven properties (including those purchased by non-consolidated entities) for $104.5 million and sold four properties and an interest in a fifth property for net cash proceeds of $18.8 million. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are revenues generated from the properties, interest on cash balances, amounts available under its unsecured credit facility and amounts that may be raised through the sale of securities in private or public offerings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the leases on the consolidated properties generated $69.2 million in revenue compared to $57.8 million during the same period in 2001. Dividends. The Company has made quarterly distributions since October 1986 without interruption. The Company declared a dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2002, in the amount of $0.33 per share to shareholders of record as of October 31, 2002, which will be paid on November 14, 2002. The Company's annualized dividend rate is currently $1.32 per share. In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its shareholders. These dividends are expected to be paid from operating cash flows which are expected to increase over time due to property acquisitions and growth in rental revenues in the existing portfolio and from other sources. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investments, the Company generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion of properties in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties as suitable opportunities arise, and such other factors as the Board of Trustees considers appropriate. Cash dividends paid to common shareholders increased to $26.0 million in 2002 compared to $17.9 million in 2001. The Company's dividend and distribution FFO payout ratio on a per share basis for 2002 and 2001, was 69.2% and 71.4%, respectively. Although the Company receives the majority of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it intends to continue paying dividends quarterly. The Company's two largest tenants, based on a percentage of revenues, pay their rent semi-annually (Kmart Corporation) and quarterly (Northwest Pipeline Corporation). Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution are invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. Kmart, the Company's largest tenant based upon rental revenues, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 22, 2002. Kmart leases a 1.7 million square foot distribution facility in Warren, Ohio. The Company acquired the property in 1998 by assuming a non-recourse mortgage of $42.2 million, issuing operating partnership units valued at $18.9 million and paying $2.8 million in cash. The Company has no retail properties leased to Kmart. The Kmart lease expires on September 30, 2007. Annual net rents through September 2002 were $8.4 million ($4.95 per square foot) and increased to $9.4 million on October 1, 2002. Rents are paid semi-annually in arrears in April and October. The property is encumbered by a non-recourse first mortgage, bearing interest at an imputed rate of 7% with an outstanding balance of $27.7 million at September 30, 2002. Annual debt service on this non-recourse mortgage, which fully amortizes by maturity on October 1, 2007, is $6.2 million. This property lease provides after debt service cash flow to the Company of $2.2 million through October 2002 and $3.2 million thereafter. As of September 30, 2002 the Company had $8.9 million in accounts receivable from Kmart (including $2.1 million in straight-line rents and $2.6 million in pre-petition rent). The pre-petition rent would be paid to the Company if and when Kmart affirms the lease on the property as part of its reorganization, and the accrued straight-lined rent would be realized over the remaining lease term. On October 1, 2002, Kmart made its required $4.2 million semi-annual rental payment. Kmart is current with respect to its post-petition rents. There have been no discussions with Kmart with respect to the lease. 11
The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations will continue to provide adequate capital to fund its operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short-term and long-term. In addition, the Company anticipates that cash on hand, borrowings under its unsecured credit facility, issuance of equity and debt, as well as other alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company. Cash flows from operations were $37.8 million and $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $61.9 million and $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash used in investing activities related to investments in real estate properties and non-consolidated entities. Cash provided by investing activities related to the sale of properties. Therefore, the fluctuation in investing activities relates primarily to the timing of investments and sales of properties. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $24.7 million and ($5.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash used in financing activities during each period was primarily attributable to repayments under the Company's credit facility, dividends (net of proceeds reinvested under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan), distributions to limited partners and debt service payments. Cash provided by financing activities relates primarily to proceeds from common share offerings and proceeds from mortgage financings. UPREIT Structure. The Company's UPREIT structure permits the Company to effect acquisitions by issuing to a seller, as a form of consideration, interests in partnerships controlled by the Company. All of such interests are redeemable at certain times for common shares on a one-for-one basis and all of such interests require the Company to pay certain distributions to the holders of such interests. The Company accounts for these interests in a manner similar to a minority interest holder. The number of common shares that will be outstanding in the future should be expected to increase, and minority interest expense should be expected to decrease, from time to time, as such partnership interests are redeemed for common shares. The table set forth below provides certain information with respect to such partnership interests as of September 30, 2002, based on the current $1.32 annualized dividend. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Current Total Current Total Annualized Annualized Redeemable for Number Affiliate Per Unit Distribution Common Shares: Of Units Units Distribution ($000) - -------------- -------- ----- ------------ ------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> At any time 3,500,521 1,401,159 $1.32 $4,621 At any time 1,254,152 120,374 1.08 1,354 At any time 114,059 52,144 1.12 128 January 2003 17,901 -- -- -- December 2003 1,341 -- 1.32 2 March 2004 43,734 -- 0.27 12 March 2004 19,510 -- -- -- November 2004 24,552 2,856 -- -- March 2005 29,384 -- -- -- January 2006 171,168 416 -- -- February 2006 28,230 1,743 -- -- May 2006 9,368 -- 0.29 3 November 2006 44,858 44,858 1.32 59 ----------- ----------- ---- ----- 5,258,778 1,623,550 $1.17 $6,179 =========== =========== ===== ====== </TABLE> Financing - --------- Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's $60.0 million unsecured credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 150-250 basis points depending on the amount of properties free and clear of mortgage debt. The credit facility contains customary financial covenants including restrictions on the level of indebtedness, amount of variable rate debt and net worth maintenance provisions. As of September 30, 2002 the Company is in compliance with all covenants, there are no borrowings outstanding on the facility and $55.8 million is available to be borrowed due to $4.2 million in letters of credit outstanding. 12
Financing Transactions. During the nine months ending September 30, 2002 the Company, including its non-consolidated entities, completed the following financing transactions: - Obtained a $11.0 million non-recourse mortgage on its Lake Forest, California property. The mortgage note bears interest at 7.26%, provides for annual debt service payments of $0.9 million and matures in February 2012 when a balloon payment of $9.7 million is due. - Obtained a $13.4 million non-recourse mortgage on its Valley Forge, Pennsylvania property. The mortgage note bears interest at 7.12%, provides for annual debt service payments of $1.2 million and matures in February 2011 when a balloon payment of $10.9 million is due. - Obtained a $5.3 million non-recourse mortgage on its Knoxville, Tennessee property. The mortgage note bears interest at 5.95%, provides for interest only payments through May 2003, annual debt service payments of $0.4 million thereafter and matures in September 2013 when a balloon payment of $4.5 million is due. - Obtained a $7.8 million non-recourse mortgage on its Groveport, Ohio property. The mortgage note bears interest at 6.03%, provides for interest only payments through April 2004, annual debt service payments of $0.6 million thereafter and matures in October 2012 when a balloon payment of $6.9 million is due. - Obtained a $18.1 million non-recourse mortgage on its Laurens, South Carolina property. The mortgage note bears interest at 6.00%, provides for annual debt service payments of $1.4 million and matures in September 2012 when a balloon payment of $14.0 million is due. - Obtained a $12.1 million non-recourse mortgage on its Temperance, Michigan property. The mortgage note bears interest at 6.00%, provides for annual debt service payments of $0.9 million and matures in September 2012 when a balloon payment of $9.4 million is due. Debt Service Requirements. The Company's principal liquidity needs are the payment of interest and principal on outstanding mortgage debt. As of September 30, 2002, a total of 66 of the Company's 85 consolidated properties were subject to outstanding mortgages, which had an aggregate principal amount of $450.9 million. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's consolidated debt on such date was approximately 7.28%. The scheduled principal amortization payments for the remainder of 2002 and for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are $4.8 million, $15.6 million, $16.6 million, $16.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively. The scheduled balloon payments for the remainder of 2002 and for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are $0, $0, $17.1 million, $80.9 million and $0, respectively. Lease Obligations. Since the Company's tenants generally bear all or substantially all of the cost of property operations, maintenance and repairs, the Company does not anticipate significant needs for cash for these costs. For four of the properties, the Company does have a level of property operating expense responsibility. The Company generally funds property expansions with additional secured borrowings, the repayment of which is funded out of rental increases under the leases covering the expanded properties. To the extent there is a vacancy of a property, the Company would be obligated for all operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance. Results of Operations - --------------------- Three months ended September 30, 2002 compared with September 30, 2001 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in the results of operations for the Company are primarily due to the growth of its portfolio and costs associated with such growth. Of the increase in total revenues in 2002, $4.2 million is attributable to rental revenue which resulted from properties purchased in 2001 (primarily the purchase of 23 properties from Net 1 L.P. and Net 2 L.P in November 2001) and owned for the entire quarter in 2002 and properties purchased in 2002 offset by a reduction in rental revenue from a decrease in overall portfolio occupancy from 99.7% to 99.1% and property sales. The remaining $0.7 million in revenue growth in 2002 was attributable to an increase in earnings from non-consolidated entities. The increase in interest expense due to the growth of the Company's portfolio has been offset by a reduction in the weighted average interest rate from 7.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 7.31% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 due to scheduled principal amortization payments, lower variable interest rates and lower interest rates on new debt incurred by the Company. The Company's general and 13
administrative expenses increased due to the acquisition of the 23 properties from Net 1 L.P. and Net 2 L.P., however decreased to 5.4% of revenue in 2002 from 6.1% in 2001. The increase in property operating expenses is due to the vacancy of one property in the third quarter of 2001, which resulted in the Company incurring property level operating expenses which normally are the responsibility of the tenant, and two properties in which the Company has a level of operating expense responsibility. Net income increased in 2002 due to the impact of items discussed above coupled with an extraordinary charge in 2001 from penalties incurred due to debt repayment. The Company's non-consolidated entities had aggregate net income of $3.8 million in the third quarter 2002 compared with $2.7 million in 2001. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenue of $2.3 million in 2002 attributable to the acquisition of properties in August 2002, May and December 2001, the expansion of an existing property in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the joint venturing of a single property in 2002. In addition, advisory fee income, which includes acquisition and asset management fees, increased by $0.2 million in 2002 due to the timing of transactions which generate acquisition fees coupled with more assets under management. These revenue sources were partly offset by an increase in (i) interest expense of $0.8 million in 2002 due to partially funding third quarter 2002 and fourth quarter 2001 acquisitions with the use of non-recourse mortgage debt and (ii) depreciation expense of $0.6 million in 2002 due to more depreciable assets owned. Nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared with September 30, 2001 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in the results of operations for the Company are primarily due to the growth of its portfolio and costs associated with such growth. Of the increase in total revenues in 2002, $11.4 million is attributable to rental revenue from properties purchased in 2001 (primarily the purchase of 23 properties from Net 1 L.P. and Net 2 L.P. in November 2001) and owned for the entire period in 2002 and properties purchased in 2002 offset by a reduction in rental revenue from a decrease in overall portfolio occupancy from 99.7% to 99.1% and property sales. Of the remaining $2.1 million in revenue growth in 2002, $1.6 million was attributable to an increase in earnings from non-consolidated entities and $0.5 million was attributable primarily to higher interest earned due to greater cash balances carried. The increase in interest expense due to the growth of the Company's portfolio has been offset by a reduction in the weighted average interest rate from 7.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 7.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to debt refinancings, scheduled principal amortization payments, lower variable interest rates and lower interest rates on new debt incurred by the Company. The Company's general and administrative expenses increased due to the acquisition of 23 properties from Net 1 L.P. and Net 2 L.P., however decreased to 5.6% of revenue in 2002 compared with 6.0% in 2001. The increase in property operating expenses increased due to the vacancy of one property in the third quarter of 2001, which resulted in the Company incurring property level operating expenses which normally are the responsibility of the tenant, two properties in which the Company has a level of operating expense responsibility and costs accrued for our Kmart property. Net income increased in 2002 due to the impact of items discussed above plus $1.2 million in gains on sale of properties and $3.1 million in extraordinary charges in 2001. The Company's non-consolidated entities had aggregate net income of $10.4 million in 2002 compared with $7.1 million in 2001. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenue of $5.5 million in 2002 attributable to the acquisition of properties, the expansion of an existing property and the joint venturing of a single property in 2002. In addition, advisory fee income, which includes acquisition and asset management fees, increased by $0.4 million in 2002 due to the timing of transactions which generate acquisition fees and more assets under management. These revenue sources were partly offset by an increase in (i) interest expense of $1.7 million in 2002 due to partially funding third quarter 2002 and fourth quarter 2001 acquisitions with the use of non-recourse mortgage debt, and (ii) depreciation expense of $1.1 million in 2002 due to more depreciable assets owned. The increase in net income in future periods will be closely tied to the level of acquisitions made by the Company. Without acquisitions, which in addition to generating rental revenue, generate acquisition, debt placement and asset management fees from co-investment programs, the sources of growth in net income are limited to index adjusted rents (9 leases), percentage rents (3 leases), reduced interest expense on amortizing mortgages and by controlling other variable overhead costs. However, there are many factors beyond management's control that could offset these items including, without limitation, increased interest rates of variable debt ($47.4 million as of September 30, 2002 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.67%) and tenant monetary defaults. 14
Funds From Operations - --------------------- The Company believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO") enhances an investor's understanding of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company believes that FFO is an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT, and that it can be one measure of a REIT's ability to make cash distributions. FFO is defined in the April 2002 "White Paper", issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") as "net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis." The Company included in the 2001 calculation of FFO the dilutive effect of the deemed conversion of its redeemable exchangeable notes which were redeemed in July 2001. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or as a measure of liquidity to other consolidated income or cash flow statement data as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The following table reflects the calculation of the Company's FFO and cash flow activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 ($000's): <TABLE> <CAPTION> 2002 2001 ---- ---- <S> <C> <C> Net income $ 23,486 $ 11,715 Add back: Depreciation and amortization of real estate 15,636 13,449 Extraordinary item -- 3,144 Minority interest's share of net income 4,225 3,817 Amortization of leasing commissions 522 574 Deemed conversion of notes payable -- 1,000 Gains on sale of properties (1,172) -- Joint venture adjustment 3,399 2,772 -------- -------- Funds From Operations $ 46,096 $ 36,471 ======== ======== Cash flows from operating activities $ 37,793 $ 28,823 Cash flows from investing activities (61,891) (12,751) Cash flows from financing activities 24,707 (5,098) </TABLE> For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company's dividends and distribution FFO payout ratio, on a per share basis, was 69.2% and 71.4%, respectively, of the Company's FFO. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ($000's) -------------------------------------- The Company's exposure to market risk relates to its variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company's variable rate indebtedness represented 10.2% and 10.9% of total long-term indebtedness, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, this variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average interest rate of 4.61% and 6.67%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 the variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average interest rate of 4.04% and 7.14%, respectively. Had the weighted average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, the Company's net income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 would have been reduced by approximately $237 and $104, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 net income would have been reduced by $519 and $344, respectively. 15
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ------------------------------- Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - ------------------------------------------------ An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) was carried out within 90 days prior to the filing of this quarterly report. This evaluation was made under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and its Chief Financial Officer. Based upon this evaluation, the company's Co-Chief Executive Officers and its Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Controls - ---------------------------- There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to the knowledge of the management of the Company, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the Company's evaluation. 16
