Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which cannot be anticipated. Future events and actual results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial or otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial or otherwise, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause such differences, some of which could be material, include but are not limited to:

 

·                  national and local economic, business, real estate and other market conditions, particularly in light of the current recession and governmental action and policies;

·                  financing risks, including accessing capital on acceptable terms;

·                  the level and volatility of interest rates;

·                  the financial stability of tenants, including their ability to pay rent;

·                  the competitive environment in which the Company operates;

·                  acquisition, disposition, development and joint venture risks;

·                  property ownership and management risks;

·                  the Company’s ability to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes;

·                  potential environmental and other liabilities;

·                  other factors affecting the real estate industry generally; and

·                  other risks identified in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, from time to time, in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or in other documents that we publicly disseminate, including, in particular, the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Kite Realty Group Trust

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

 

Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company”), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, construction, expansion and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and certain commercial real estate properties in selected markets in the United States. The Company also provides real estate facilities management, construction, development and other advisory services to third parties through its taxable REIT subsidiary. At June 30, 2009, the Company owned interests in 55 operating properties (consisting of 51 retail properties, three commercial operating properties and an associated parking garage) and eight properties under development or redevelopment. Of the 63 total properties held at June 30, 2009, the Company owned a controlling interest in all but one operating property and one parcel of land currently undergoing pre-development activities (collectively the “unconsolidated joint venture properties”), both of which are accounted for under the equity method.

 

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s management has prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading. The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time that the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009 were filed with the SEC in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on August 10, 2009.

 

Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates properties that are wholly owned as well as properties it controls but in which it owns less than a 100% interest. Control of a property is demonstrated by:

 

·                  the Company’s ability to manage day-to-day operations of the property;

 

·                  the Company’s ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or owner;

 

·                  the inability of any other partner or owner to replace us as a manager of the property; or

 

·                  being the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

 

The Company’s determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements, when determining the party obligated to absorb the majority of the expected losses, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). There have been no changes as of June 30, 2009 in the Company’s conclusions regarding whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any previously identified VIE.

Table of Contents

 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had investments in six joint ventures that are VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2009, these VIEs had total debt of approximately $96.7 million which is secured by assets of the VIEs totaling approximately $180.4 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs.

 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as it exercises significant influence over, but does not control, operating and financial policies. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of SFAS 160, which was effective for the Company on January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified noncontrolling interest from the liability section to the equity section in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets and as an allocation of net income rather than an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  As a result of the reclassification, total equity at December 31, 2008 increased $4.4 million.

 

The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

In addition, as part of the adoption of SFAS 160, the Company also applied the measurement provisions of EITF Topic D-98 “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities” (“EITF D-98”). As a result of the adoption of SFAS 160, as well as applying the measurement provisions of EITF D-98, the Company did not change the classification of redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because the Company may be required to pay cash to unitholders upon redemption of their interest in the limited partnership under certain circumstances. However, as noted above, noncontrolling interests, including redeemable interests, are now classified as an allocation of net income rather than an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

The adoption of the measurement provisions of EITF D-98 also requires that the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership be reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated deficit. The adoption of this provision did not impact either of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Although the presentation of certain of the Company’s noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries did change as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 and EITF D-98, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

In addition to the reclassified amounts related to the adoption of SFAS 160 as discussed above, the Company also reclassified certain prior year amounts related to discontinued operations to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income attributable to the Company.

 

The Company allocates net operating results of the Operating Partnership to noncontrolling interest holders based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest. The Company adjusts the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect such interests in the Operating Partnership at the greater of historical book value or redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in the Company’s shareholders’ equity. The Company’s and the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Investment Properties

 

Investment properties are recorded at cost and include costs of acquisitions, development, pre-development, construction costs, certain allocated overhead, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. Significant renovations and improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. If a tenant vacates a space prior to the lease expiration, terminates its lease, or otherwise notifies the Company of its intent to do so, any related unamortized tenant allowances are immediately expensed.  Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful lives of the respective assets are reflected in property operating expense.

 

The Company incurs costs prior to land acquisition and for certain land held for development including acquisition contract deposits, as well as legal, engineering and other external professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing a shopping center. These pre-development costs are included in land held for development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. If the Company determines that the development of a property is no longer probable, any pre-development costs previously incurred are immediately expensed. Once construction commences on the land, the related capitalized costs are transferred to construction in progress.

 

The Company also capitalizes costs such as construction, interest, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved with the development of our properties.  As portions of the development property become operational, the Company expenses appropriate costs on a pro rata basis.

 

Depreciation on buildings and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over estimated original useful lives ranging from 10 to 35 years. Depreciation on tenant allowances and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. Depreciation on equipment and fixtures is provided utilizing the straight-line method over 5 to 10 years.

 

Impairment

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” (“SFAS 144”), management reviews investment properties and intangible assets within the real estate operation and development segment for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable. Impairment analysis requires management to make certain assumptions and requires significant judgment. Management does not believe any investment properties were impaired at June 30, 2009.

 

Impairment losses for investment properties are recorded when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are measured as the excess carrying value over the fair value of the asset.

 

In accordance with SFAS 144, operating properties held for sale include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year. Operating properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.

 

The Company’s properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. In accordance with SFAS 144, the operations reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties that were sold or considered held-for-sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties are eliminated from ongoing operations and the Company will not have a continuing involvement after disposition. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations to the extent they are material to the results of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

As lessor, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases.

 

Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volume (contingent percentage rent). Percentage rents are

 

11



Table of Contents

 

recognized when tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Percentage rents are included in other property related revenue in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expense is incurred.

 

Gains and losses on sales of real estate are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. In summary, gains and losses from sales are not recognized unless a sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership, and the Company does not have a substantial continuing financial involvement in the property.  As part of the Company’s ongoing business strategy, it will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leased to tenants.  Gains realized on such sales were $0.6 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.6 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are classified as other property related revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. Project costs include all direct labor, subcontract, and material costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance costs incurred to date.  Project costs do not include uninstalled materials. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

 

From time to time, the Company will construct and sell build-to-suit merchant assets to third parties.  Proceeds from the sale of build-to-suit merchant assets are included in construction and service fee revenue and the related costs of the sale of these assets are included in cost of construction and services in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Development and other advisory services fees are recognized as revenues in the period in which the services are rendered. Performance-based incentive fees are recorded when the fees are earned.

 

Tenant Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Tenant receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant reimbursements and accrued straight-line rent. The Company generally does not require specific collateral other than corporate or personal guarantees from its tenants.

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants or others to meet contractual obligations under their lease or other agreements. This allowance includes an estimate of the amount of the straight-line rent receivable that is deemed to be unrealizable over the term of the tenants’ leases.  Accounts are written off when, in the opinion of management, the balance is uncollectible.

 

Note 3. Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined with the incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive shares were converted into common shares as of the earliest date possible.

 

Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding share options, units in the Operating Partnership, which may be exchanged, at our option, for either cash or common shares under certain circumstances and deferred share units, which may be credited to the accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees. The only securities that had a potentially dilutive effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were outstanding share options and deferred share units, the dilutive effect of which was as follows:

Note 4. Discontinued Operation

 

In December 2008, the Company sold its Silver Glen Crossings property, located in Chicago, Illinois.  The results related to this property have been reflected as discontinued operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Mortgage and construction loans are collateralized by certain real estate properties and leases. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2022. Variable interest rates on mortgage and construction loans are based on LIBOR plus a spread of 125 to 350 basis points. At June 30, 2009, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.31%.  Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 5.11% to 7.65%.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had loan borrowings of $64.7 million and loan repayments of $72.4 million.  The major components of this activity are as follows:

 

·               Draws of approximately $12.4 million were made on the variable rate construction loan at the Eddy Street Commons development project;

·               The maturity date of the construction loan on the Cobblestone Plaza property was extended to March 2010. In conjunction with the June 30, 2009 extension, the loan balance was paid down from $33.0 million to $26.0 million. The Company funded the approximately $7.0 million paydown from its cash and available credit.  The total commitment under this loan was reduced from $44.5 million to $37.5 million in conjunction with the $7.0 million principal curtailment payment;

·               The $4.1 million loan on the Fishers Station property was refinanced with a loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 350 basis points and maturing in June 2011;

·               Permanent financing of $15.4 million was placed on the Eastgate Pavilion shopping center, a previously unencumbered property.  This variable rate loan bears interest at LIBOR + 295 basis points and matures in April 2012;

·               The maturity date of the Delray Marketplace construction loan was extended from July 2009 to June 2011. The amount outstanding under the loan remained $9.4 million as of June 30, 2009;

·               The maturity date of the variable rate loan on the Beacon Hill property was extended from March 2009 to March 2014. The Company funded the approximately $3.5 million paydown made in conjunction with the extension utilizing its unsecured revolving credit facility;

·               Approximately $57 million was paid down on the unsecured revolving credit facility using proceeds from the Company’s May 2009 common share offering;

·               In addition to the preceding activity, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company used proceeds from its unsecured revolving credit facility and other borrowings (exclusive of repayments) totaling approximately $30 million for development, redevelopment, acquisitions and general working capital purposes; and

·               The Company made scheduled principal payments totaling approximately $1.8 million.

 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

 

In 2007, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated four-year $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “unsecured facility”) with a group of financial institutions led by Key Bank National Association, as agent. The Company and several of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries are guarantors of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the unsecured facility. The unsecured facility has a maturity date of February 20, 2011, with a one-year extension option (subject to certain customary conditions).  Borrowings under the unsecured facility bear interest at a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 115 to 135 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.  The unsecured facility has a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.20% applicable to the average daily unused amount.  Subject to certain conditions, including the prior consent of the lenders, the Company has the option to increase its borrowings under the unsecured facility to a maximum of $400 million if there are sufficient unencumbered assets to support the additional borrowings.  The unsecured facility also includes a short-term borrowing line of $25 million with a variable interest rate.  Borrowings under the short-term line may not be outstanding for more than five days.

 

The amount that the Company may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of assets in its unencumbered property pool.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company has 52 unencumbered properties and other assets used to calculate the value of the unencumbered property pool, of which 50 are wholly owned and two of which are owned through joint ventures. The major unencumbered assets include: Broadstone Station, Courthouse Shadows, Four Corner Square, Hamilton Crossing, King’s Lake Square, Market Street Village, Naperville Marketplace, PEN Products, Publix at Acworth, Red Bank Commons, Shops at Eagle Creek, Traders Point II, Union Station Parking Garage, Wal-Mart Plaza and Waterford Lakes. As of June 30, 2009, the total amount available for borrowing under the unsecured credit facility was approximately $56 million.

Term Loan

 

In July 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into a $30 million unsecured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) arranged by KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., which has an accordion feature that enables the Operating Partnership to increase the loan amount up to a total of $60 million, subject to certain conditions. The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Term Loan is subject to ongoing compliance by the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  In addition, the Term Loan requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. The Term Loan matures on July 15, 2011 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 265 basis points. A significant portion of the initial $30 million of proceeds from the Term Loan was used to pay down the Company’s unsecured facility.

 

In August 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the Term Loan, which, among other things, increased the amount available for borrowing under the original term loan agreement by an additional $25 million. This amount was subsequently drawn, resulting in an aggregate amount outstanding under the Term Loan of $55 million. The additional $25 million of proceeds of borrowings under the Term Loan were used to pay down the Company’s unsecured facility. In connection with obtaining the Term Loan, in September 2008, the Company entered into a cash flow hedge for the entire $55 million outstanding, which effectively fixed the interest rate at 5.92%.

 

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

 

As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of fixed rate debt was approximately $336.1 million compared to the book value of $329.9 million. The fair value was estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 3.39% to 6.25%. As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of variable rate debt was approximately $337.1 million compared to the book value of $338.6 million. The fair value was estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 3.31% to 6.67%.

 

Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity

 

On May 11, 2009, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.06 per common share for the second quarter of 2009. Simultaneously, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.06 per Operating Partnership unit for the same period. These distributions were paid on July 17, 2009 to shareholders and unitholders of record as of July 7, 2009.

 

In May 2009, the Company completed an equity offering of 28,750,000 common shares at an offering price of $3.20 per share for aggregate gross and net proceeds of $92.0 million and $87.6 million, respectively.  Approximately $57 million of the net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and the remainder was retained as cash.

 

In February and March 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Trustees approved a long-term equity incentive compensation award of a total of approximately 527,000 share options to management and other employees, the value of which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology.  These share options were issued with exercise prices ranging from $2.64 to $3.56 and will vest ratably over five years beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant.

The Company is exposed to capital market risk, including changes in interest rates.  In order to manage volatility relating to variable interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate hedging transactions from time to time.  The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes nor does the Company currently have any derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges.  The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision provided that the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was party to various consolidated cash flow hedge agreements totaling $205 million, which effectively fix certain variable rate debt at interest rates ranging from 4.40% to 6.32% and mature over various terms through 2012.

 

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the

period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied volatilities, and the creditworthiness of both the Company and the counterparty.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment to SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. In addition, on January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”).  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

 

SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

 

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considers the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

 

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties.  However, as of June 30, 2009, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.  As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The only assets or liabilities that the Company records at fair value on a recurring basis are interest rate hedge agreements. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate hedge agreements as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $7.9 million, including accrued interest of approximately $0.4 million, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company currently expects approximately $5.7 million to be an increase to interest expense as the hedged forecasted interest payments occur. No hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was recognized by the Company during any period presented. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings during 2009 and the first six months of 2010. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 approximately $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was reclassified as a reduction to earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, approximately $3.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, was reclassified as a reduction to earnings.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame

 

Phase I of Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame, located adjacent to the University in South Bend, Indiana is one of the Company’s current major development pipeline projects.  This multi-phase project is expected to include retail, office, hotels, a parking garage, apartments and residential units.  The Company will own the retail and office components while other components are expected to be owned by third parties or through joint ventures.  The City of South Bend has contributed $35 million to the development, funded by tax increment financing (TIF) bonds issued by the City and a cash commitment from the City, both of which are being used for the construction of a parking garage and infrastructure improvements to this project

 

The Company has jointly guaranteed the apartment developer’s construction loan, which at June 30, 2009, has an outstanding balance of approximately $15.4 million.  The Company also has a contractual obligation in the form of a completion guarantee to the University of Notre Dame and to the City of South Bend to complete all phases of the $200 million project (the Company’s portion of which is approximately $64 million), with the exception of certain of the residential units, consistent with commitments the Company typically makes in connection with other bank-funded development projects.  If the Company is required to complete a portion of the residential components of the project or perform under its guaranty obligations, it has the right to pursue control of the related assets.  If the Company fails to fulfill its contractual obligations in connection with the project, but is using its best efforts to do so, it may be held liable but it has limited its liability to both the University of Notre Dame and the City of South Bend.

 

Joint Venture Indebtedness

 

Joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture under circumstances where the lender has limited recourse to the Company. As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was approximately $15.6 million.  As of June 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership had guaranteed unconsolidated joint venture debt of $13.5 million in the event the joint venture partnership defaults under terms of the underlying arrangement, all of which was related to the Parkside Town Commons development.  Certain mortgages, which are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership, are secured by the property and leases of the joint venture, and the Operating Partnership has the right to attempt to sell the property in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company other than routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $6.3 million, approximately $1.7 million of which all requirements have been satisfied as of that date. At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.

 

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company’s adoption of SFAS 141R on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” which permitted a one-year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 with regard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS 157 as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis. The adoption of SFAS 157, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, had no impact on the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 157 will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset or nonfinancial liability is required, which may result in a fair value that is materially different than would have been calculated prior to the adoption of SFAS 157.

 

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not have a material impact on reported earnings per share.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1”), which requires (i) disclosure of the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value in interim period financial statements as well as in annual financial statements, (ii) that the fair value information be presented together with the related carrying amount of the asset or liability, and (iii) disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value and changes, if any, to the methods and significant assumptions used during the period. The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and requires additional disclosures in interim periods which were previously only required in annual financial statements. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009 and the required disclosure is presented in Note 5.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 requires that an entity shall recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. An entity must also disclose but not record the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date. The standard also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated (for public companies, the date the financial statements are issued)  SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively. Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 in the second quarter of 2009, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 11 for the Company’s disclosure of subsequent events.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and introduces a more qualitative approach to evaluating VIEs for consolidation. SFAS 167 requires a company to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a VIE. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb

losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance, SFAS 167 requires a company to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed. SFAS 167 requires continuous reassessment of primary beneficiary status rather than periodic, event-driven assessments as previously required, and incorporates expanded disclosure requirements. The Company has not yet determined the impact that SFAS 167 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”), and approved the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will require future references to authoritative U.S. GAAP to coincide with the appropriate section of the Codification. Accordingly, this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 11. Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time that the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009 were filed with the SEC in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on August 10, 2009.

 

In July 2009, the Company refinanced the $8.2 million loan on its Bridgewater Crossing property with a loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 185 basis points and maturing in June 2013.  The original loan matured in June 2010 and had a total commitment of $12.0 million. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company made a $1.2 million paydown to bring the loan balance to $7.0 million, which is the revised total commitment.

 

The loan on The Centre, an unconsolidated operating property in which we own a 60% interest, matured in June 2009 and was subsequently extended to August 1, 2009.  In July 2009, in order to pay off the bank loan, the Company made a loan of $2.1 million to the partnership bearing interest at 12% for 30 days and 15% thereafter and maturing in February 2011.  The Company is currently in discussions with a lender for replacement financing for this loan.  The Company will evaluate the appropriateness of consolidating this entity during the third quarter of 2009.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in connection with the accompanying historical financial statements and related notes thereto. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

Our Business and Properties

 

Kite Realty Group Trust, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, construction, expansion and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and certain commercial real estate properties in selected markets in the United States. We derive revenues primarily from rents and reimbursement payments received from tenants under existing leases at each of our properties. We also derive revenues from providing management, leasing, real estate development, construction and real estate advisory services through our taxable REIT subsidiary. Our operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments, our ability to provide such services to third parties, conditions in the U.S. retail sector and overall real estate market conditions.

 

As of June 30, 2009, we owned interests in 55 operating properties (consisting of 51 retail properties totaling approximately 7.9 million square feet of gross leasable area (including non-owned anchor space), three operating commercial properties totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet of net rentable area, and an associated parking garage).  Also, as of June 30, 2009, we had an interest in eight properties in our development and redevelopment pipelines. Upon completion, we anticipate our current development and redevelopment properties to have approximately 1.2 million square of total gross leasable area.

 

In addition to our current development and redevelopment pipelines, we have a “shadow” development pipeline which includes land parcels that are undergoing pre-development activity and are in various stages of preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for third party financings.  As of June 30, 2009, this shadow pipeline consisted of six projects that are expected to contain approximately 2.8 million square feet of total gross leasable area upon completion.  We have reduced our estimated capital expenditures in the shadow pipeline by approximately $110 million by focusing on ground leasing or selling to end users as well as modifying the scope of our development projects.

 

Finally, as of June 30, 2009, we also owned interests in other land parcels comprising approximately 95 acres that may be used for future expansion of existing properties, development of new retail or commercial properties or sold to third parties. These land parcels are classified as “Land held for development” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Current Economic Conditions and Impact on Our Retail Tenants

 

Our business continues to feel the effects of the extended turmoil in the U.S credit markets and the overall softening of the economic environment. We expect the difficult economic conditions that have significantly restricted consumer spending to continue throughout 2009 and likely beyond. The U.S. Congress, the Presidential Administration and the Federal Reserve Bank have taken various steps, including establishing various stimulus packages and governmental monetary packages, in an effort to curtail the recession and promote stability in the U.S. economy as a whole. It is not yet clear what effect, if any, these actions will have on banks and other financial institutions, the broader financial and credit markets and the economy in general.

 

Factors contributing to consumers spending less at stores owned and/or operated by our retail tenants include, among others:

 

·                  Shortage of Financing: Lending institutions have substantially tightened credit standards, making it significantly more difficult for individuals and companies to obtain financing.  The shortage of financing has caused, among other things, consumers to have less disposable income available for retail spending.

 

·                  Decreased Home Values and Increased Home Foreclosures: U.S. home values have decreased sharply, and difficult economic conditions have also contributed to a record number of home foreclosures. The historically high level of delinquencies and foreclosures, particularly among sub-prime mortgage borrowers, may continue into the foreseeable future.

·                  Rising Unemployment Rates: The U.S. unemployment rate continues to rise dramatically. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by the end of the second quarter of 2009, approximately 14.7 million, or 9.5%, of Americans were unemployed, the highest level in 26 years. Rising unemployment rates could cause further decreases in consumer spending, thereby negatively affecting the businesses of our retail tenants.

 

·                  Decreasing Consumer Confidence: Consumer confidence is at its lowest level in decades, leading to a decline in spending on discretionary purchases. In the second quarter of 2009, consumer spending declined 1.2% while the savings rate rose to 5.2%, the highest it has been since 1998.  In addition, the significant increase in personal and business bankruptcies reflects an economy in distress, with financially over-extended consumers less likely to purchase goods and/or services from our retail tenants.

 

As discussed below, these conditions damage the businesses of our retail tenants and in turn have a negative impact on our business. To the extent these conditions persist or deteriorate further, our tenants may be required to curtail or cease their operations, which could materially and negatively affect our business in general and our cash flows in particular.

 

Impact of Economy on REITs, Including Us

 

As an owner and developer of community and neighborhood shopping centers, our operating and financial performance is directly affected by economic conditions in the retail sector of those markets in which our operating centers and development properties are located. This is particularly true in the states of Indiana, Florida and Texas, where the majority of our properties are located, and in North Carolina, where a significant portion of our development projects and land parcels held for development are located.  As discussed above, due to the challenges facing U.S. consumers, the operations of our retail tenants are being negatively affected.  In turn, this is having a negative impact on our business, including in the following ways:

 

·                  Difficulty In Collecting Rent; Rent Adjustments.  When consumers spend less, our tenants typically experience decreased revenues and cash flows.  This makes it more difficult for some of our tenants to pay their rent obligations, which is the primary source of our revenues.  A number of tenants requested decreases or deferrals in their rent obligation in the first half of 2009. Some of these requests have been granted in order to assist our tenants through the current economic difficulties, which will negatively affect our cash flows in the short-term. In addition, we have increased our allowance for doubtful accounts as we anticipate having more difficulty in collecting rent receivables.

 

·                  Termination of Leases.  If our tenants continue to struggle to meet their rental obligations, they may be forced to vacate their stores and terminate their leases with us.  During the first half of 2009, several tenants vacated their stores, and in some cases, terminated their leases with us.  When tenants terminate their leases with us, we may be able to negotiate lease termination fees from them but in other cases we may not.

 

·                  Tenant Bankruptcies. The number of bankruptcies by U.S. businesses surged in the latter part of 2008. This trend continued through the first half of 2009 and may continue into the foreseeable future. Likewise, bankruptcies of our retail tenants also increased sharply in 2008 and into 2009.  For example, in late 2008, Circuit City Stores, Inc. filed a petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws and, in early 2009, declared that it would be liquidating and closing all of its stores. At that time, Circuit City operated stores at three of our properties, and in March 2009 they ceased operations and closed those stores.

 

·                  Decrease in Demand for Retail Space.  Reflecting the extremely difficult current market conditions, demand for retail space at our shopping centers has decreased while availability has increased due to tenant terminations and bankruptcies.  The excess capacity generated by big box tenant bankruptcies has led to increased competition to lease these spaces and downward pressure on rental rates. Overall tenancy at our shopping centers declined over the last 12 months and may continue to decline in the future until financial markets, consumer confidence, the unemployment rate and the economy in general stabilize and begin to improve. As of June 30, 2009, our retail operating portfolio was approximately 91% leased compared to approximately 93% leased as of June 30, 2008. In addition, these conditions have made it significantly more difficult for us to lease space in our development projects, which may adversely affect the expected returns from these projects or delay their completion.

 

·                  Decrease in Third Party Construction Activity. As a reflection of the various economic and other factors previously discussed, we are anticipating a general decline in third party construction activity in the foreseeable future, which could have a negative impact on the revenues of our development, construction and advisory services segment.

Table of Contents

 

The factors discussed above, among others, continued to have a negative impact on our business in the second quarter of 2009.  We expect that these conditions will continue into the foreseeable future.

 

Financing Strategy and 2009 Maturities

 

Our ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms and to refinance borrowings as they mature has also been affected by the condition of the economy in general and by the current instability of the financial markets in particular. As of June 30, 2009, approximately $29 million of our consolidated indebtedness was scheduled to mature in the remainder of 2009 (approximately $31 million including our share of unconsolidated debt), including scheduled monthly principal payments for the remainder of 2009. We believe we have good relationships with a number of banks and other financial institutions that will allow us an opportunity to refinance these borrowings with the existing lenders or replacement lenders.  However, in this current challenging environment, it is imperative that we identify alternative sources of financing and other capital in the event we are not able to refinance these loans on satisfactory terms, or at all. It is also important for us to obtain financing in order to complete our development and redevelopment projects.

 

We engaged in a number of financing and refinancing activities in the second quarter of 2009. In May, we paid down approximately $57 million on our unsecured revolving credit facility using proceeds from our common share offering.  Also in May, we placed $15.4 million of permanent financing on our Eastgate Pavilion shopping center, a previously unencumbered property.  This variable rate loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 295 basis points and matures in April, 2012.   In June, we refinanced the $44.5 million construction loan on our Cobblestone Plaza property with a variable rate loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points and matures in March, 2010.  Also in June, we refinanced the $4.1 million loan on our Fishers Station property with a loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis points and maturing in June 2011.  Also in June, we extended the maturity date of the $9.4 million Delray Marketplace construction loan from July 2009 to June 2011.  As of June 30, 2009, approximately $56 million was available to be drawn under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

As part of our financing strategy, we will continue to seek to refinance and/or extend our debt that is maturing in 2009 and 2010. While we can give no assurance, due to these efforts and the current status of negotiations with existing and alternative lenders for our near-term maturing indebtedness, we currently believe we will have the ability to extend, refinance, or repay all of our debt that is maturing through at least 2009, including, to the extent necessary, utilizing the availability on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

 

Obtaining new financing is also important to our business due to the capital needs of our existing development and redevelopment projects. The properties in our development and redevelopment pipelines, which are primary drivers for our near-term growth, will require a substantial amount of capital to complete. As of June 30, 2009, our unfunded share of the total estimated cost of the properties in our current development and redevelopment pipelines was approximately $29 million. While we believe we will have access to sufficient resources to be able to fund our investments in these projects through a combination of our $57.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, new and existing construction loans and draws on our unsecured credit facility (which, as noted above, had $56 million of availability as of June 30, 2009), a prolonged credit crisis will make it more costly and difficult to raise additional capital, if necessary.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our critical accounting policies as discussed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed during the first six months of 2009. See Notes 2 and 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this report for a summary of significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements.

 

Results of Operations

 

At June 30, 2009, we owned interests in 55 operating properties (consisting of 51 retail properties, three operating commercial properties and an associated parking garage) and eight entities that held interests in development or redevelopment properties. Of the 63 total properties held at June 30, 2009, one operating property and one parcel of pre-development land were owned through joint ventures and accounted for under the equity method.

 

At June 30, 2008, we owned interests in 56 operating properties (consisting of 51 retail properties, four operating commercial properties and an associated parking garage) and 11 entities that held interests in development or redevelopment properties. Of the 67 total properties held at June 30, 2008, two operating properties and one parcel of pre-development land were owned through joint ventures and accounted for under the equity method.

The comparability of results of operations is significantly affected by our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities in 2008 and 2009.  Therefore, we believe it is most useful to review the comparisons of our 2008 and 2009 results of operations (as set forth below under “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008” and “Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008”) in conjunction with the discussion of our significant development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities during those periods, which is set forth directly below.

Property Acquisition Activities

 

In February 2008, we purchased Rivers Edge, a 110,875 square foot shopping center located in Indianapolis, Indiana, for $18.3 million.  We utilized approximately $2.7 million of proceeds from the November 2007 sale of our 176th & Meridian property in a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The remaining purchase price of $15.6 million was funded initially through a draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility and subsequently refinanced with a variable rate loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points and maturing on February 3, 2010.  This property was purchased with the intent to redevelop; therefore, it is included in our redevelopment pipeline, as shown in the “Redevelopment Activities” table below. However, for purposes of the comparison of operating results, this property is classified as property acquired during 2008 in the comparison of operating results tables below.

Excluding the changes due to transitioned development properties, the acquisition of a property, and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.2 million decrease in rental income was primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease due to termination of big box tenants at three of our properties and smaller tenants at several other properties in 2008 and the second quarter of 2009, offset by a $0.2 million increase in real estate tax recoveries due to 2008 real estate tax refunds at several of our operating properties.

 

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease termination income and gains on land sales. This revenue decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 40%, as a result of a decrease of $1.3 million in gains on land sales and a $0.3 million decrease in lease termination income, offset by a $0.4 million reversal of an estimated liability for which the Company is no longer obligated.

Cost of construction and services decreased approximately $2.0 million, or 29%, primarily as a result of a decline in third party construction contracts due to the economic downturn and our decision to temporarily slow our third party construction activity.

 

General, administrative and other expenses increased approximately $0.3 million, or 23%. This decrease is primarily due to adjustments made to incentive compensation in 2008.

Excluding the changes due to transitioned development properties, the acquisition of a property, and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an increase in the acceleration of depreciation and amortization costs related to the termination of tenants at several of our operating properties.

 

Interest expense decreased $0.4 million, or 5%, primarily due to the pay down of our unsecured revolving credit facility with proceeds from our common share offering and the retirement of debt at three of our properties, along with a lower average LIBOR in 2009.

 

Income tax expense decreased $0.2 million, or 95%, primarily due to lower construction volume in our taxable REIT subsidiary.
