Note 1 - Organization and Background

One Liberty Properties, Inc. (“OLP”) was incorporated in 1982 in Maryland.  OLP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”).  OLP acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio of retail (including furniture stores, restaurants, office supply stores and supermarkets), industrial, flex, office, health and fitness and other properties, a substantial portion of which are subject to long-term net leases.  As of March 31, 2014, OLP owned 109 properties, including five properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. The 109 properties are located in 29 states.

Note 2 - Basis of Preparation

Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its investment in five joint ventures in which the Company, as defined, has a controlling interest.  OLP and its consolidated subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the “Company”.   Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investment in Joint Ventures

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, or VIE, requires the performance of a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Under this guidance, an entity would be required to consolidate a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

Note 2 - Basis of Preparation (Continued)

The Company assesses the accounting treatment for each joint venture investment. This assessment includes a review of each joint venture or limited liability company agreement to determine the rights of each party and whether those rights are protective or participating.  The agreements typically contain certain protective rights such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. In situations where the Company and its partner, among other things, (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) prepare or review and approve the joint venture’s tax return before filing, and (iv) approve each lease at each property, the Company does not consolidate the joint venture as the Company considers these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture.

With respect to the five consolidated joint ventures in which the Company has between an 85% to 95% interest, the Company has determined that (i) such ventures are not VIE’s and (ii) the Company exercises substantial operating control and accordingly, such ventures are consolidated for financial statement purposes.

The Company accounts for its investments in five unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.  All investments in these five joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these five joint ventures are VIE’s.  In addition, although the Company is the managing member, it does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions.  None of the joint venture debt is recourse to the Company, subject to standard carve-outs.

Reclassification

Certain amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 relating to the operations of two properties that were sold in February 2014 have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income allocable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock during the applicable period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security.  Unvested restricted stock is not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income; such amounts are allocated entirely to the common stockholders other than the holders of unvested restricted stock.  The restricted stock units awarded under the Pay-for-Performance program described in Note 12 are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as these units are not participating securities.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other rights exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock were exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the diluted weighted average number of common shares includes 100,000 shares (of an aggregate of 200,000 shares) of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded pursuant to the Pay-For-Performance program.  These 100,000 shares may vest upon satisfaction of the total stockholder return metric. The number of shares that would be issued pursuant to this metric is based on the market price and dividends paid as of the end of each quarterly period assuming the end of that quarterly period was the end of the vesting period.  The remaining 100,000 shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded under the Pay-For-Performance program are not included during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as they did not meet the return on capital performance metric during such periods.

There were no options outstanding to purchase shares of common stock or other rights exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Note 4 - Real Estate Acquisitions (continued)

Each property purchased by the Company in 2014 is net leased by a single tenant pursuant to a lease that expires in 2017 or 2018.

As a result of these acquisitions, the Company recorded intangible lease assets of $467,000 and intangible lease liabilities of $274,000, representing the value of the origination costs and acquired leases.  As of March 31, 2014, the weighted average amortization period for these acquisitions is 3.7 years for the intangible lease assets and 4.3 years for the intangible lease liabilities. The Company assessed the fair value of the lease intangibles based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are Level 3 (as defined in Note 13) in the fair value hierarchy. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocations for these properties; therefore, these allocations are preliminary and subject to change.

Note 5 - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had investments in five unconsolidated joint ventures, each of which owned and operated one property. The Company’s equity investment in such unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $4,916,000 and $4,906,000, respectively. The Company recorded equity in earnings of $133,000 and $334,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 6 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its tenants to make required rent payments.  If the financial condition of a specific tenant were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.  At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was no balance in allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of rental income. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not incur any bad debt expense.

Note 7 - Discontinued Operations and Sale of Properties

On February 3, 2014, the Company sold two properties located in Michigan for a total sales price of $5,177,000, net of closing costs.  At December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a $61,700 impairment charge representing the loss on the sale of these properties.  The following table summarizes the components of income from discontinued operations applicable to these properties (amounts in thousands):

Note 8 - Line of Credit

The Company has a $75,000,000 revolving credit facility with Manufacturer’s & Trader’s Trust Company, VNB New York Corp., Bank Leumi USA and Israel Discount Bank of New York.  This facility matures March 31, 2015 and provides that the Company pay interest at the greater of (i) 90 day LIBOR plus 3% (3.23% at March 31, 2014) and (ii) 4.75% per annum, and there is an unused facility fee of .25% per annum. At March 31, 2014 and May 5, 2014, the outstanding balance under the facility was $12,850,000. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2014.

Note 9 - Compensation and Services Agreement

The Company agreed to pay fees of $3,300,000 and $3,465,000 in 2014 and 2015, respectively (including overhead expenses of $186,375 and $195,694 and property management fees, included in real estate expenses on the income statement, of $850,000 and $892,500 in 2014 and 2015, respectively) pursuant to the compensation and services agreement, as amended, with Majestic Property Management Corp.  Majestic Property Management Corp is wholly-owned by the Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.   The 2014 fee represents an increase of $400,000 over the 2013 fee and the 2015 fee represents a $165,000 increase over the 2014 fee. The results of a report prepared by an independent compensation consultant were used to evaluate and support these increases.

Note 10 - Common Stock Cash Dividend

On March 13, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.37 per share on the Company’s common stock, totaling $5,872,000. The quarterly dividend was paid on April 3, 2014 to stockholders of record on March 25, 2014.

Note 11 - Shares Issued through Equity Offering Program

On March 20, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated equity offering sales agreement to sell shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time with an aggregate sales price of up to approximately $38,360,000, through an “at the market” equity offering program.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold 32,844 shares for proceeds of $720,000, net of commissions of $7,000, and incurred offering costs, primarily professional fees, of $76,000. Subsequent to March 31, 2014 and through April 4, 2014, the Company sold 26,262 shares for proceeds of $573,300, net of commissions of $6,000.

Note 12 - Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s 2012 Incentive Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2012, permits the Company to grant, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share awards and any one or more of the foregoing to its employees, officers, directors and consultants.  A maximum of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock is authorized for issuance pursuant to this Plan, of which 229,000 have been issued as of March 31, 2014.  An aggregate of 452,000 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units are outstanding under the Company’s 2003 and 2009 equity incentive plans (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) and have not yet vested.  No additional awards may be granted under the Prior Plans.

The restricted stock grants are charged to general and administrative expense over the respective vesting periods based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date. Substantially all restricted stock awards made to date provide for vesting upon the fifth anniversary of the date of grant and under certain circumstances may vest earlier.  For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they vest; however dividends are paid on the unvested shares.

On September 14, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a Pay-for-Performance program under the Company’s 2009 Incentive Plan and awarded 200,000 performance share awards in the form of restricted stock units (the “Units”). The holders of Units are not entitled to dividends or to vote the underlying shares until the Units vest and shares are issued. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the shares underlying the Units are not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet.  If the defined performance criteria are satisfied in full at June 30, 2017, one share of the Company’s common stock will vest and be

Note 12 - Stock Based Compensation (Continued)

issued for each Unit outstanding and a pro-rata portion of the Units will vest and be issued if the performance criteria fall between defined ranges.  In the event that the performance criteria are not satisfied in whole or in part at June 30, 2017, the unvested Units will be forfeited and no shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued for those Units.  No Units were forfeited or vested in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no options outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

The following is a summary of the activity of the equity incentive plans (excluding, except as otherwise noted, the 200,000 Units):

As of March 31, 2014, there were approximately $6,188,000 of total compensation costs related to nonvested awards that have not yet been recognized, including $372,000 related to the Pay-for-Performance program (net of forfeiture and performance assumptions which are re-evaluated quarterly). These compensation costs will be charged to general and administrative expense over the remaining respective vesting periods. The weighted average vesting period is approximately 3.1 years.

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments 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, a fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions.  In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are considered to be recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.

At March 31, 2014, the $289,624,000 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is more than their carrying value by approximately $4,721,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 4.8% based on the 9.4 year weighted average remaining term of the mortgages.  At December 31, 2013, the $283,142,000 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is more than their carrying value by approximately $5,097,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 5% based on the 9.0 year weighted average remaining term of the mortgages.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the $12,850,000 and $23,250,000, respectively, carrying amount of the Company’s line of credit approximates its fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable and line of credit are estimated using unobservable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
