INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007 (unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share data and square footage amounts)



The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited financial statements of Inland Real Estate Corporation (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are included in the Company's 2006 Annual Report, as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from this Report on Form 10-Q.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.


(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting


The Company was formed on May 12, 1994.  The Company, collectively with its consolidated entities, is a publicly held real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, operates and develops (directly or through its unconsolidated entities) retail shopping centers.


The Company has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995.  So long as the Company qualifies for treatment as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets the requirements of the tests imposed by the Code.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.


Additionally, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, which became effective January 1, 2001, the Company is permitted to participate in certain activities that were previously prohibited in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") under the Code, subject to certain limitations.  As such, the TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Certain reclassifications were made to the 2006 financial statements to conform to the 2007 presentation.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures.  These entities are consolidated because the Company is either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or has substantial influence and controls the entity.  The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or residual returns.  The third parties' interests in these consolidated entities are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions.  The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions' non-performance.

(In thousands, except per share data and square footage amounts)



The Company capitalizes interest costs related to construction in progress and considers both interest paid on debt obtained to fund the project and the interest cost incurred during the period that could have been avoided.  The Company has recorded approximately $805 and $93 of capitalized interest related to certain of its development joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, the Company reviews impairment indicators and if necessary conducts an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value.  The Company evaluates its investment properties to assess whether any impairment indicators are present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate.  If an investment property is considered impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.  No such losses have been required or recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.


The Company’s joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation has offered tenant-in-common (“TIC”) interest in properties that it holds together with its joint venture partner, to investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.  These TIC interests may have served as replacement properties for investors seeking to complete like-kind exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Code.  The Company consolidates properties owned by the joint venture when it owns 100% of the equity interests.  Upon the first sale of equity interests through the private placement offerings, the Company accounts for its equity interest under the equity method of accounting, as major decisions require unanimous consent by the co-owners that share an undivided interest in the properties.  The Company structures its TIC program with acquisition fees, which are due to the Company from the proceeds of the sales.  As the Company sells its interest in properties through TIC sales, it recognizes a proportionate share of acquisition fees and gain on sale as each individual transaction is completed.


Tenants required to pay a security deposit under their lease with the Company have paid either in cash or by posting letters of credit.  The letters of credit are not recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company held letters of credit for tenant security deposits totaling approximately $1,355 and $429, respectively.  


A mortgage receivable is considered impaired in accordance with SFAS No. 114: "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."  Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, a mortgage receivable is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest contractually due.  The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate.  The Company does not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired.  When ultimate collectability of the principal balance of the impaired note is in doubt, all cash receipts on the impaired note are applied to reduce the principal amount of the note until the principal has been recovered and are recognized as interest income thereafter.  Based upon the Company’s judgement, no mortgages receivable were impaired as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.


The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." This Interpretation defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Principles


In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), Fair Value Measurements.  This new standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, ("SFAS 159"), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain non-financial instruments that are similar to financial instruments) at fair value.  The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable.  If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


The FASB authorized a FASB Staff Position (“Proposed FSP 148”) that, if issued, would affect the accounting for our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures.  If issued in the form expected, the proposed FSP would require that the initial debt proceeds from the sale of our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures be allocated between a liability component and an equity component.  The resulting debt discount would be amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional interest expense.  The proposed FSP is expected to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and would required retrospective application.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this proposed FSP.


(2)     Investment Securities


Investment in securities at June 30, 2007 and 2006 are classified as available-for-sale securities.  Available-for sale securities are recorded at fair value.  The Company acquires stock on margin.  The margin loan is subject to separate terms and conditions.  At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the loan balances were $5,214 and $6,394, respectively, and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Sales of investment securities available-for-sale during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 resulted in gains on sale of $70 and $40, respectively, which are included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company realized a loss of $105 related to a decline in value of one investment security which was determined to be other than temporary and is also included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.


Gross unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at June 30, 2007 were as follows:

(3)     Unconsolidated Joint Ventures


Unconsolidated joint ventures are those where the Company is not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or has substantial influence over but does not control the entity.  The Company accounts for its interest in these ventures using the equity method of accounting.  The Company’s ownership percentage and related investment in each joint venture is summarized in the following table.

(a)

Profits and losses for this joint venture are split 52% to Tucker Development Corporation and 48% to the Company.


The Company's proportionate share of the earnings or losses related to these ventures is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Additionally, the Company earns fees for providing property management, leasing and acquisition activities to these ventures.  The Company recognizes only its share of these fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company earned $456 and $981, respectively in fee income from its unconsolidated joint ventures, as compared to $430 and $1,089 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.  These fees are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures.


The operations of properties contributed to the joint ventures by the Company are not recorded as discontinued operations because of the Company's continuing involvement with these shopping centers.  Differences between the Company's investment in the joint ventures and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of the joint ventures are due to basis differences resulting from the Company's equity investment recorded at its historical basis versus the fair value of certain of the Company's contributions to the joint venture.  Such differences are amortized over depreciable lives of the joint venture's property assets.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $707 and $683, respectively, of amortization of this basis difference.


During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company sold its interest in its joint venture with Crow Holdings Managers, LLC for approximately $3,500.  This sale of joint venture interest resulted in a gain on the Company's investment of approximately $2,228.


During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company, through its joint venture with TMK Development, sold an additional parcel of land to a third party for approximately $5,040.  As a result of the sale and the return of capital received by the Company, the Company re-evaluated the criteria for primary beneficiaries under FIN 46R and determined that it is no longer the primary beneficiary in this variable interest entity and therefore, deconsolidated the joint venture.  The joint venture recorded a gain on sale of approximately $1,181, which is recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

(4)     Mortgages Receivable


On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a buy-out and restructuring agreement, which amended the previous LLC agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc., dated February 1, 2001.  The Company is a lender to the wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc. for this redevelopment project.  The Company agreed to lend Tri-Land Properties, Inc. up to $21,500.  Draws on the loan bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum, with 5.5% to be paid currently and the remaining 3% to be accrued, with no additional interest, and paid upon maturity.  The loan matures on June 30, 2008.  As of June 30, 2007, the balance of this mortgage receivable was $19,288.  The loan is secured by the investment property and Tri-Land Properties, Inc. has guaranteed $1,000 of this mortgage receivable.  The Company recorded a deferred gain of $3,193 on the sale of its equity investment related to the previous joint venture agreement, as it did not qualify for gain recognition due to the lack of initial investment and continuing involvement.  Such amounts are included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Additionally, the Company has recorded $757 of interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and has increased the mortgage receivable balance for unpaid interest by $2,644 since inception.


On October 26, 2006, the Company purchased a 25%, or $10,369, participation interest in a note receivable from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., a related party of The Inland Group, Inc.  The loan bears interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum and matures on September 30, 2007.  The loan is secured by land owned by the borrower and the borrower has personally guaranteed the balance of the loan.  The Company recorded $486 of interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007.


(5)     Transactions with Related Parties


During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company purchased various administrative services, such as payroll preparation and management, data processing, insurance consultation and placement, property tax reduction services and mail processing from, or through, affiliates of The Inland Group, Inc.  The Company pays for these services on an hourly basis.  The hourly rate is based on the salary of the individual rendering the services, plus a pro rata allocation of overhead including, but not limited to, employee benefits, rent, materials, fees, taxes and operating expenses incurred by each entity in operating their respective businesses.  Computer services were purchased at a contract rate of $60 per hour.  The Company continues to purchase these services from The Inland Group, Inc. and its affiliates and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, these payments totaled $731 and $383 respectively.  Additionally, the Company leases its corporate office space from an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc.  Payments under this lease for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $170 during each period, and are included in general and administrative expenses.  The Inland Group, Inc., through affiliates, owns approximately 10.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock.  For accounting purposes however, the Company is not directly affiliated with The Inland Group, Inc. or its affiliates.


On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a buy-out and restructuring agreement, which amended the previous LLC agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc., dated February 1, 2001.  The Company agreed to lend Tri-Land Properties, Inc. up to $21,500 for the development of the Century Consumer Mall in Merrillville, Indiana.  Richard Dube, the brother-in-law of Mr. Daniel Goodwin, the Company's Chairman of the Board, is the president and a principal owner of Tri-Land.  Reference is made to Note 4 for more information on the Company's mortgage receivable with Tri-Land.


On August 12, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Inland Investment Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. to manage its investment in securities.  The Company pays a fee of up to one percent per annum on the net asset value under management.  The Company paid approximately $80 and $92 for these services during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In May 2005, the Company acquired a 1% interest in The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. for a purchase price of $1.  The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. provides assistance in the marketing of the Company's investment properties and provides representation at various trade shows and conventions.


In June and September 2006, the Company entered into joint venture agreements with North American Real Estate, Inc ("NARE") to acquire and develop vacant land located in North Aurora, Illinois.  One of our directors, Joel Simmons, is a minority partner in the entity that NARE formed to be the partner in this venture.  Mr. Simmons will receive his pro rata share of NARE's earnings from this venture and is not entitled to preferred distributions.


On September 5, 2006, Inland Venture Corporation, a Taxable REIT Subsidiary previously formed by the Company, entered into a limited liability company agreement with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Inland Group, Inc.  The resulting joint venture was formed to facilitate Inland Venture Corporation's participation in tax-deferred exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code using properties made available to the joint venture by Inland Venture Corporation.  The Company executed a joinder to the joint venture agreement, agreeing to perform certain expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations thereunder.  Inland Venture Corporation will coordinate the joint venture's acquisition, property management and leasing functions, and will earn fees for services provided to the joint venture, including management and leasing fees, as well as syndication fees, which will be split equally between Inland Venture Corporation and Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation.


Effective October 1, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive ("Captive"), which is wholly owned by three other entities previously sponsored by Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation: Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (which has been acquired by Developers Diversified Realty Trust), Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.  Inland Risk & Insurance Management Services, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc., provides services to the Captive.  The Captive was formed to more efficiently manage the respective insurance coverage of the members and the premiums associated with property casualty coverage.  The Captive will annually oversee the purchase of one or more insurance policies from a third party insurer that cover properties of its members that will be acceptable to all members. Portions of these insurance policies agreed upon by all members will be funded or reimbursed by insurance policies purchased from the Captive by the members. The premium associated with the non-catastrophic property and casualty insurance policies purchased from the Captive will be divided amongst each of the members based upon a determination by a third-party, independent actuary of the losses, loss reserves and loss expenses that each member is expected to incur and a proportional allocation of associated operating costs.  Each member initially contributed approximately $188 to the Captive in the form of a capital contribution and could be required to make annual contributions to fund the loss reserve.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company has made minor claims in the ordinary course of business, but has not been required to make additional capital contributions.  The Captive will use this capital to pay a portion of certain property and casualty losses and general liability losses suffered by a member under the policies purchased by the Captive subject to deductibles applicable to each occurrence.  These losses will be paid by the Captive up to and including a certain dollar limit per occurrence, after which the losses are covered by the third party insurer.  The Company is required to remain as a member of the Captive for a period of five years even if insurance rates from third party providers are lower than what we get through the Captive.  Although the Company’s current year policy premium remained consistent with prior premiums, had the Company not entered into the Captive, it could have seen larger increases than it had experienced in the past.


On October 26, 2006, the Company purchased a 25% or $10,369 participation interest in a note receivable from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“IARETI”), a related party of The Inland Group, Inc.

(6)     Discontinued Operations


During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company sold a total of five investment properties.  For federal and state income tax purposes, certain of the Company's sales qualified as part of tax deferred exchanges and, as a result, the tax gains are deferred until the replacement properties are disposed of in subsequent taxable transactions.  The proceeds from these sales were deposited with a qualified tax deferred exchange agent with the intent of using these proceeds for future acquisitions.  The following table summarizes the properties sold, date of sale, indebtedness repaid, approximate sales proceeds, net of closing costs, gain (loss) on sale and whether the sale qualified as part of a tax deferred exchange

If the Company determines that an investment property meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, it suspends depreciation on the assets held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationship values.  The assets and liabilities associated with those assets would be classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period.  As of June 30, 2007, there were no properties classified as held for sale.


On the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has recorded $1,413 and $44, respectively of assets related to discontinued operations and $244 and $2, respectively of liabilities related to discontinued operations.  These amounts are reflected as a component of other assets and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company has recorded income from discontinued operations of $1,351 and $1,353, respectively, including gains on sale of $1,223 for each period.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations of $2,568 and $2,652, respectively, including gains on sale of $2,329 and $2,134.


(7)     Operating Leases


Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for "stepped" rent increases.  U.S. GAAP requires the Company to record rental income for the period of occupancy using the effective monthly rent, which is the average monthly rent for the entire period of occupancy during the term of the lease.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include increases of $784 and $243, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply and $18,391 and $17,607 in related accounts and rents receivable as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The Company anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

(a)

These loans require payments of principal and interest monthly; all other loans listed are interest only.

 

 

(b)

These properties are owned through our joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation.  The properties are currently consolidated because the Company's TIC interest is 100%.  Upon the first sale of equity interests through the private placement offerings, the Company will account for these properties using the equity method of accounting.

 

 

(c)

Approximately $68,462 of the Company's mortgages payable mature during 2007.  The Company intends to replace these loans with new debt for terms of five years or longer at the market interest rate at the time the existing debt matures.

 

 

(d)

Payments on these mortgages are calculated using a floating rate of interest based on LIBOR.

 

 

(e)

As part of the purchase of the property securing this loan, the Company assumed the existing mortgage-backed Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1994, issued by the Village of Skokie, Illinois.  The interest rate on these bonds floats and is reset weekly by a re-marketing agent.  The rate at June 30, 2007 was 4.11%.  The bonds are further secured by an Irrevocable Letter of Credit, issued by LaSalle Bank at a fee of 1.25% of the principal amount outstanding, paid annually.  In addition, the Company is required to pay a re-marketing fee of 0.125% per annum of the principal amount outstanding, paid quarterly, and a trustee fee of $500, also paid quarterly.


The following table presents the principal amount of the debt maturing each year, including monthly annual amortization of principal, through December 31, 2011 and thereafter, based on debt outstanding at June 30, 2007:

(9)     Line of Credit


On June 28, 2002, the Company entered into a $100,000 unsecured line of credit arrangement with KeyBank N.A. for a period of three years.  The funds from this line of credit are used to purchase additional investment properties.  


On April 22, 2005, the Company completed a second amendment to this line of credit.  The aggregate commitment of the Company's line is $400,000 and matures on April 22, 2008.  The Company pays interest only on draws under the line at the rate equal to 120 – 160 basis points over LIBOR.  The Company is also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount less than 1% per annum on the average daily funds remaining under this line.  In conjunction with this amendment, the Company paid approximately $541 in fees and costs.  The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $85,000 and $28,000 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.


The line of credit requires compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions.  As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Convertible Notes


On November 13, 2006, the Company issued $180,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% convertible senior notes due 2026, which included the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional $10,000 to cover over-allotments.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $177,300 after deducting selling discounts and commissions.  The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase 2,776 shares of its common stock at a price equal to $18.01 per share (approximately $50,000 in the aggregate) concurrently with the closing of the offering.  The Company also used the net proceeds to repay approximately $120,000 in outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association.  The Company used the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to pay the expenses of the offering.


Interest on the notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year beginning May 15, 2007.  The notes mature on November 15, 2026 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to that date.  The Company may not redeem the notes prior to the date on which they mature except to the extent necessary to preserve its status as a REIT.  Following the occurrence of certain change in control transactions, the Company may be required to repurchase the notes in whole or in part for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest.  At June 30, 2007, the Company has recorded $1,087 of accrued interest related to the convertible notes.  This amount is included in accrued interest on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2007.


Holders may convert their notes into cash or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Company’s option, at any time on or after October 15, 2026, but prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding November 15, 2026, and also following the occurrence of certain events.  Subject to certain exceptions, upon a conversion of notes the Company will deliver cash and shares of our common stock, if any, based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day of the relevant 30 day trading period.  The current conversion rate is 48.2824 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $20.71 per share of common stock.


(11)     Earnings per Share


Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the "common shares").  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the common shares plus shares issuable upon exercise of existing options or other contracts.  


As of June 30, 2007, 65 shares of common stock issued pursuant to employment agreements were outstanding, of which 22 have vested.  Additionally, the Company issued 34 shares pursuant to employment incentives of which 8 have vested.  The unvested shares are excluded from the computation of basic EPS but reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method.  As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, options to purchase 39 and 26 shares of common stock, respectively at exercise prices ranging from $10.45 to $19.96 per share were outstanding, respectively.  These options were not included in the computation of basic or diluted EPS as the effect would be immaterial.  Convertible notes are included in the computation of diluted EPS using the if-converted method, to the extent the impact of conversion is dilutive.


The basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 65,109 and 67,527 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 65,179 and 67,595 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The share price of the issued shares is determined by averaging the high and low selling price on the date of issue, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.  Prior to 2004, the share value was determined to be equal to the last price at which the Company sold shares, prior to its listing on the New York Stock Exchange.  Each officer vests an equal portion of shares over a five-year vesting period, beginning one year from the date of issuance of the award.  The officers may receive additional restricted shares of the Company's common stock, which are also subject to a five-year vesting period.  The number of these shares is to be determined based upon the future performance of the Company.  Salary expense of $218 and $118 were recorded in connection with the vesting of these shares, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


(13)     Segment Reporting

The Company assesses and measures operating results on an individual property basis for each of its investment properties based on property net operating income.  Because all of the Company's investment properties exhibit highly similar economic characteristics, generally have tenants that offer products catering to the day-to-day living needs of individuals and offer similar degrees of risk and opportunities for growth, the shopping centers have been aggregated and reported as one operating segment.


The property net operating income is summarized in the following table for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, along with reconciliation to income from continuing operations.  Net investment properties and other related segment assets, non-segment assets and total assets are also presented as of June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical, including statements regarding management's intentions, beliefs, expectations, representations, plans or predictions of the future and are typically identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "may," "will," "should" and "could."  The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Examples of factors which could affect our performance are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2007, under the heading "Risk Factors."


Data in this section is presented in thousands, except per share data and square footage data.


This section provides the following:

·

an executive summary and our strategies and objectives;

·

the critical accounting policies that impact the treatment, for financial statement purposes, of certain items such as how we value our investment properties, recognize rental income and depreciate our assets;

·

a discussion of our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows and how the changes in balance sheet and cash flow items from period to period impact our liquidity and capital resources;

·

a discussion of our results of operations, including changes in Funds From Operations ("FFO") from year to year and a discussion of the impact that inflation may have on our results; and


·

a discussion of the important factors that may impact your investment.


We have qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995.  So long as we qualify for treatment as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we meet the requirements of the tests imposed by the Code.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.


Additionally, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, which became effective January 1, 2001, we are permitted to participate in certain activities that were previously prohibited in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") under the Code, subject to certain limitations.  As such, the TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.


Executive Summary


We are an owner/operator of Neighborhood Retail Centers (gross leasable areas ranging from 5,000 to 150,000 square feet) and Community Centers (gross leasable areas in excess of 150,000 square feet).  We are a self-administered REIT incorporated under Maryland law.  We also may construct or develop properties or render services in connection with such development or construction.  As of June 30, 2007, we owned interests in 149 investment properties, including those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures.





24



Essentially all of our revenues and cash flows are generated by collecting rental payments from our tenants.  Our goal is to continue increasing our revenues by acquiring additional investment properties and re-leasing those spaces that are vacant, or may become vacant, at more favorable rental rates.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we executed 51 new and 103 renewal leases, aggregating approximately 471,000 square feet.  The 51 new leases comprise approximately 164,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $21.44 per square foot, a 39.2% increase over the average expiring rate.  The 103 renewal leases comprise approximately 307,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $16.97 per square foot, a 17.0% increase over the average expiring rate.  We believe we have significant acquisition opportunities due to our reputation and our concentration of properties in the Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan areas.  We will use cash provided by our Dividend Reinvestment Plan, proceeds from financings on previously unencumbered properties, draws on our line of credit and earnings we retain that are not distributed to our stockholders to continue purchasing additional investment properties.


Our largest expenses relate to the operation of our properties as well as the interest expense on our mortgages payable and other debt obligations.  Our property operating expenses include, but are not limited to, real estate taxes, regular maintenance, landscaping, snow removal and periodic renovations to meet tenant needs.  Pursuant to the lease agreements, tenants of the property are required to reimburse the Company for some or all of the particular tenant's pro rata share of the real estate taxes and operating expenses of the property.


We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT.  FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to that of other REITs.  Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as ours.  As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.  We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.  Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons.  We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group.  Additionally, FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives payable by us to certain executives, based on our performance.  The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity.  Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO.  Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs.  FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.


We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance.  EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from operations, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization.   By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure.  By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the performance of our portfolio.  Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it neither reflects the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor reflects trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing.  EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.


We look at several factors to measure our operating performance:


To measure our operating results to those of other retail real estate owners/operators in our area, we compare:


·

occupancy percentage; and


·

our rental rates to the average rents charged by our competitors in similar centers.


To measure our operating results to those of other REITs, we compare:




25



·

company-wide growth in income or FFO;


·

same store growth in income; and

·

general and administrative expenses as a percentage of investment in properties.


Based on the above measures, we have historically performed comparably with those in our property sector peer group.


There are costs and issues associated with re-leasing our properties, including:


·

length of time required to fill vacancies;


·

possibly releasing at rental rates lower than current market rates;


·

leasing costs associated with the new lease such as leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances; and


·

paying operating expenses without tenant reimbursements.


Strategies and Objectives


Our primary business objective is to enhance the performance and value of our investment properties through management strategies that address the needs of an evolving retail marketplace.  Our commitment to operating our centers efficiently and effectively is, we believe, a direct result of our expertise in the acquisition, development/re-development, either directly or through a joint venture, management and leasing of our properties.  We focus on the following areas in order to achieve our objectives:


Acquisitions:


·

We seek to selectively acquire well located open air retail centers.


·

We acquire properties either without financing contingencies or by assuming existing debt to provide us with a competitive advantage over other potential purchasers.


·

We concentrate our property acquisitions in areas where we have a large market concentration.  In doing this, we believe we are able to attract new retailers to the area and possibly lease several locations to them.  Additionally, we are able to get existing retailers to lease more space at our current investment properties.


Joint Ventures:


·

We actively pursue new development opportunities through joint ventures with established local developers.


·

We have formed joint ventures to acquire stabilized retail properties as well as properties to be re-developed and vacant land to be developed.  We earn fees from the joint ventures for providing property management, acquisition and leasing services.


·

We have formed a joint venture to acquire properties that will ultimately be sold through an offering of tenant-in-common interests in properties to investors.  We earn fees from the joint venture for providing property management, acquisition and leasing services.


Operations:


·

We actively manage costs to minimize operating expenses by centralizing all management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting and data processing activities.


·

We improve rental income and cash flow by aggressively marketing rentable space.


·

We emphasize regular maintenance and periodic renovation to meet the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term returns.



26



·

We maintain a diversified tenant base consisting primarily of retail tenants providing consumer goods and services.


·

We proactively review our existing portfolio for potential re-development opportunities.

Critical Accounting Policies


General


A critical accounting policy is one that, we believe, would materially affect our operating results or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances.  We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to the valuation and allocation of investment properties, determining whether assets are held for sale, recognition of rental income and lease termination income, our cost capitalization and depreciation policies and consolidation/equity accounting policies.  These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  U.S. GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates.  The following disclosure discusses judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties that were taken into consideration upon the application of critical accounting policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.


Valuation and Allocation of Investment Properties.  On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, we review impairment indicators and, if necessary, conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value.  We evaluate our investment properties to assess whether any impairment indicators are present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate.  If an investment property is considered impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.  No such losses have been required or recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.


In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors, such as projected rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures and interest rates.  The capitalization rate used to determine property valuation is based on the market in which the property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age, physical condition and investor return requirements among others.  Market capitalization rates fluctuate based on factors such as interest rates.  An increase in capitalization rates might result in a market valuation lower than our original purchase price.  Additionally, we obtain an appraisal prepared by a third party at the time we purchase the investment property.  All of the aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property.  The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Should the actual results differ from management's judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.


We allocate the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, other intangibles (including acquired above market leases, acquired below market leases, customer relationships and acquired in-place leases) and any financing assumed that is determined to be above or below market terms.  The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.  The value allocated to land as opposed to building affects the amount of depreciation expense we record.  If more value is attributed to land, depreciation expense is lower than if more value is attributed to building and improvements.  We use the information contained in the third party appraisals as the primary basis for allocating the purchase price between land, building and improvements.  We determine whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.


The aggregate value of other intangibles is measured based on the difference between the purchase price and the property valued as if vacant.  We utilize information contained in independent appraisals and management's estimates to determine the respective as if vacant property values.  Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as if vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases and the risk adjusted cost of capital.  In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, up to 24 months.  Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses.  





28



We allocate the difference between the purchase price of the property and the as if vacant value first to acquired above and below market leases.  We evaluate each acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and consider various factors including geographic location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market.  After an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to the acquired above or below market lease based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate.  The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon a rate for each individual lease and primarily based upon the credit worthiness of each individual tenant.  The value of the acquired above and below market leases is amortized over the life of the related leases as an adjustment to rental income.  


We then allocate the remaining difference to the value of acquired in-place leases and customer relationships based on management's evaluation of specific leases and our overall relationship with the respective tenants.  The evaluation of acquired in-place leases consists of a variety of components including the costs avoided associated with originating the acquired in-place lease, including but not limited to, leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and legal costs.  We also consider the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs and rental income estimated to be incurred during the assumed re-leasing period.  The value of the acquired in-place lease is amortized over the average lease term as a component of amortization expense.  We also consider whether any customer relationship value exists related to the property acquisition.  As of June 30, 2007, we had not allocated any amounts to customer relationships.


The valuation and possible subsequent impairment in the value of our investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each property.


Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies.  We review all expenditures and capitalize any item that is deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement.  If we capitalize more expenditures, current depreciation expense would be higher; however, total current expenses would be lower.  Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements, 15 years for site improvements and the remaining life of the related lease for tenant improvements.  


Assets Held for Sale.  In determining whether to classify an asset as held for sale, we consider whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) we have initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) we believe that the sale of the asset is probable; (v) we have received a significant non-refundable deposit for the purchase of the property; (vi) we are actively marketing the asset for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value; and (vii) actions required for us to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan.


If all of the above criteria are met, we classify the asset as held for sale.  On the day that these criteria are met, we suspend depreciation on the assets held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationship values.  The assets and liabilities associated with those assets that are held for sale are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period.  Additionally, the operations for the periods presented are classified on the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.


Recognition of Rental Income and Tenant Recoveries.  Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to recognize rental income based on the effective monthly rent for each lease.  The effective monthly rent is equal to the average monthly rent during the term of the lease, not the stated rent for any particular month.  The process, known as "straight-lining" rent, generally has the effect of increasing rental revenues during the early phases of a lease and decreasing rental revenues in the latter phases of a lease.  If rental income calculated on a straight-line basis exceeds the cash rent due under the lease, the difference is recorded as an increase to both deferred rent receivable and rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  If the cash rent due under the lease exceeds rental income calculated on a straight-line basis, the difference is recorded as a decrease to both deferred rent receivable and rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, we defer recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage/excess rent, until the specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.  We periodically review the collectibility of outstanding receivables.  Allowances are taken for those balances that we deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.



29



Tenant recoveries are primarily comprised of real estate tax and common area maintenance reimbursement income.  Real estate tax income is based on an accrual reimbursement calculation by tenant, based on an estimate of current year real estate taxes.  As actual real estate tax bills are received, we reconcile with our tenants and adjust prior year income estimates in the current period.  Common area maintenance income is accrued on actual common area maintenance expenses as incurred.  Annually, we reconcile with the tenants for their share of the expenses per their lease and we adjust prior year income estimates in the current period.


Recognition of Lease Termination Income.  We accrue lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.


Consolidation/Equity Accounting Policies.  We consolidate the operations of a joint venture if we determine that we are either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence and control of the entity.  The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or residual returns.  There are significant judgments and estimates involved in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or the determination of who has control and influence of the entity.  When we consolidate an entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of a variable interest entity are included in our consolidated financial statements.


In instances where we are not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or we do not control the joint venture, we use the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture are not consolidated with our operations but instead our share of operations is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on our consolidated statement of operations.  Additionally, our net investment in the joint venture is reflected as investment in and advances to joint venture as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


This section describes our balance sheet and discusses our liquidity and capital commitments.  Our most liquid asset is cash and cash equivalents which consists of cash and short-term investments.  Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $12,468 and $27,569, respectively.  See our discussion of the statements of cash flows for a description of our cash activity during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  We consider all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.  We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions.  The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  We believe that the risk is not significant, as we do not anticipate the financial institutions' non-performance.


Income generated from our investment properties is the primary source from which we generate cash.  Other sources of cash include amounts raised from the sale of securities under our Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRP"), our draws on the line of credit with KeyBank N.A., which may be limited due to covenant compliance requirements, proceeds from financings secured by our investment properties and earnings we retain that are not distributed to our stockholders.  As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $65,000 available under our $150,000 line of credit.  If necessary, such as for new acquisitions, we believe we can generate cash flow by entering into financing arrangements or joint ventures with institutional investors.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we issued $180,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% convertible notes due in 2026.  Net proceeds from the convertible notes were used to pay down our line of credit with KeyBank N.A. by $120,000 and we also repurchased 2,776 shares of our common stock at a price equal to $18.01 per share (approximately $50,000 in the aggregate).  We use our cash primarily to pay distributions to our stockholders, for operating expenses at our investment properties, for purchasing additional investment properties, joint venture commitments and to repay draws on the line of credit.


Certain joint venture commitments require us to invest cash in non-operating property under development and in properties that do not necessarily meet our investment criteria but which are offered for syndication through our joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation.  Capital could be committed for periods longer than expected if development timelines are longer or syndication velocity is slower than anticipated.





30



As of June 30, 2007, we owned interests in 149 investment properties, including those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures.  Of the 149 investment properties owned, thirty-one are currently unencumbered by any indebtedness.  These thirty-one investment properties are wholly-owned by us and are consolidated  We generally limit our secured indebtedness to approximately 50% of the original purchase price, or current market value if higher, of the investment properties in the aggregate.  These thirty-one unencumbered investment properties were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $166,558 and would therefore yield at least $83,279 in additional cash from financing, using this standard.  In the aggregate, all of our 149 investment properties are currently generating sufficient cash flow to pay our operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions equal to $0.98 per share on an annual basis.

Statements of Cash Flows


2007 Compared to 2006


Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $4,961, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  This decrease was primarily the result of the payment of larger common area maintenance expenses on our investment properties due to increased snow removal costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  This decrease was offset by an increase in cash flows from operations generated by properties acquired during 2007 and 2006, subsequent to their acquisitions and operating distributions received from the operations of our joint ventures.  


Net cash used in investing activities increased by $49,515 as we acquired five investment properties for our joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation during the six months ended June 30, 2007 at a cost of $100,507 and completed $7,136 in additions to our investment properties, as compared to the acquisition of four investment properties during the six months ended June 30, 2006 at a cost of $60,311 and completed $16,155 in additions to our investment properties.  Additionally, we increased our cash investment by $20,211 for the purchase of vacant land through our development joint ventures.  Offsetting this increase in cash used is proceeds received during the six months ended June 30, 2007 for the sale of our interest in one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, the sale of vacant land through another and additional distributions from our unconsolidated joint venture activities.



31



Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $53,572, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to loan proceeds of $59,585 and net proceeds from our line of credit of $57,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to loan proceeds of $25,004 and proceeds from the line of credit of $50,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006.  This increase is offset by a decrease in the purchase of minority interest units during the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

This section describes and compares our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  At June 30, 2007, we had ownership interests in 30 single-user retail properties, 92 Neighborhood Retail Centers and 27 Community Centers.  We generate almost all of our net operating income from property operations.  In order to evaluate our overall portfolio, management analyzes the operating performance of properties that we have owned and operated for the same three month periods during each year.  A total of 123 of our investment properties satisfied these criteria during the periods presented and are referred to herein as "same store" properties.  These properties comprise approximately 10.3 million square feet.  A total of twelve investment properties, those that have been acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 are presented as "other investment properties" in the table below.  The "same store" investment properties represent approximately 70% of the square footage of our portfolio at June 30, 2007.  This analysis allows management to monitor the operations of our existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of our current portfolio.  Additionally, we are able to determine the effects of our new acquisitions on net income.  


Net income available to common stockholders and net income available to common stockholder per weighted average common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are summarized below:

Net income decreased $1,537 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Included in net income are gains on sale of property of $1,223 and $2,329 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  This decrease is primarily due to lower gains on property sales during the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Net income increased $280 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in net income is primarily due to the gains on sale of a joint venture interest and a non-operating property recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Offsetting this increase is an increase in interest expense resulting from our interest recorded on our convertible notes during the six months ended June 30, 2007.  No such expense was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

On a "same store" basis, (comparing the results of operations of the investment properties owned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 with the results of the same investment properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006), property net operating income decreased by $335 with total rental income, tenant recoveries and other property income decreasing by $383 and total property operating expenses decreasing by $48 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  Property net operating income increased by $194 with total rental income, tenant recoveries and other property income increasing by $3,024 and total property operating expenses increasing by $2,830 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.


Total rental income, tenant recoveries and other property income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $44,820 and $44,110 respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, these amounts were $92,289 and 87,268, respectively.  The primary reasons for the increase in rental and additional rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was positive leasing spreads on our "same store" properties and income received on our "other investment properties."  Additionally, other property income increased during these periods.  Other property income is comprised of lease termination fees, late fees and costs recovered on expenses directly related to specific tenants.


Total property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $12,568 and $12,712, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, these amounts were $28,795 and 26,038, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the increase in expenses is due primarily to an increase in common area maintenance expenses on our "same store" portfolio of properties, due in most part to higher snow removal costs in first quarter 2007, as compared to 2006.


General and administrative expenses increased $97 and $1,290, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  This increase is due to an increase in salaries and other payroll related items, data processing costs and costs incurred on potential transactions that we are no longer pursuing.  Additionally, our conference expenses were higher during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 due to additional costs for the annual ICSC convention, which included more space to accommodate our new booth.


Interest expense increased $1,421 and $2,660 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, due to several factors.  This increase is due to increases in our mortgages payable and on the convertible notes issued in November 2006.  We issued these convertible notes in order to take advantage of lower interest rates going forward.  These notes are fixed at a rate of 4.625% per annum.  Additionally, the average interest rate charged on our variable rate mortgages has increased from 6.32% at June 30, 2006 to 6.71% at June 30, 2007.

Captive Insurance


Effective October 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive ("Captive"), which is wholly owned by three other entities previously sponsored by Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation: Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (which has been acquired by Developers Diversified Realty Trust), Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. and us.  Inland Risk & Insurance Management Services, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc., provides services to the Captive.  The Captive was formed to more efficiently manage the respective insurance coverage of the members and the premiums associated with property casualty coverage.  The Captive oversees the purchase of one or more insurance policies from a third party insurer that covers properties of its members, on terms acceptable to all members. Portions of these insurance policies agreed upon by all members are funded or reimbursed by insurance policies purchased from the Captive by the members. The premium associated with the non-catastrophic property and casualty insurance policies purchased from the Captive are divided amongst each of the members based upon a determination by a third-party, independent actuary, of the losses, loss reserves and loss expenses that each member is expected to incur and a proportional allocation of associated operating costs.  Each member initially contributed approximately $188 to the Captive in the form of a capital contribution and could be required to make annual contributions to fund the loss reserve.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we have made minor claims in the ordinary course of business, but have not been required to make additional capital contributions.  The Captive will use this capital to pay a portion of certain property and casualty losses and general liability losses suffered by a member under the policies purchased by the Captive subject to deductibles applicable to each occurrence.  These losses will be paid by the Captive up to and including a certain dollar limit per occurrence, after which the losses are covered by the third party insurer.  We are required to remain as a member of the Captive for a period of five years even if insurance rates from third party providers are lower than those available through the Captive.  Although our current year policy premium remained consistent with prior premiums, had we not entered the Captive, we believe we could have experienced larger increases than we had experienced in the past.


Joint Ventures


Consolidated joint ventures are those where we are either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence over or control the entity.  The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or residual returns.  The third parties' interests in these consolidated entities are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures


Unconsolidated joint ventures are those where we are not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence over but do not control the entity.  We account for our interest in these ventures using the equity method of accounting.  Our ownership percentage and related investment in each joint venture is summarized in the following table.

Our proportionate share of the earnings or losses related to these ventures is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Additionally, we earn fees for providing property management, leasing and acquisition activities to these ventures.  We recognize only our share of these fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we earned $456 and $981 in fee income from our unconsolidated joint ventures, as compared to $430 and $1,089 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  These fees are reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures.


The operations of properties contributed to the joint ventures by us are not recorded as discontinued operations because of our continuing involvement with these shopping centers.  Differences between our investment in the joint ventures and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of the joint ventures are due to basis differences resulting from our equity investment recorded at its historical basis versus the fair value of certain of our contributions to the joint venture.  Such differences are amortized over depreciable lives of the joint venture's property assets.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $707 and $683, respectively, of amortization of this basis difference.


During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we sold our interest in our joint venture with Crow Holdings Managers, LLC for approximately $3,500.  This sale of joint venture interest resulted in a gain on our investment of approximately $2,228.


During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we sold, through our joint venture with TMK Development, an additional parcel of land to a third party for approximately $5,040.  As a result of the sale and the return of capital we received, we re-evaluated the criteria for primary beneficiaries under FIN 46R and determined that we are no longer the primary beneficiary in this variable interest entity and therefore, deconsolidated the joint venture.  The joint venture recorded a gain on sale of approximately $1,181, which is recorded in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT.  FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs.  Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, NAREIT has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as ours.  As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.  We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.  Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons.  We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group.  Additionally, FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives payable by us to certain executives, based on our performance.  The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity.  Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO.  Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs.  FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.  The following table reflects our FFO for the periods presented, reconciled to net income available to common stockholders for these periods:

We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance.  EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from operations excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization.  By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure.  By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the performance of our portfolio.  Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it does not reflect the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor does it reflect trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing.  EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.

(a)

We receive rent from tenants who have vacated but are still obligated under their lease terms, which results in economic occupancy ranging from 69% to 100% at June 30, 2007 for each of these centers.


(b)

We, from time to time, receive payments under master lease agreements covering spaces vacant at the time of acquisition.  The payments range from one to two years from the date of acquisition of the property or until the space is leased and tenants begin paying rent.  U.S. GAAP requires us to treat these payments as a reduction to the purchase price of the investment properties upon receipt of the payment, rather than as rental income.  As of June 30, 2007, the Company had four investment properties, Wauconda Crossing, located in Wauconda, Illinois; Apache Shoppes, located in Rochester, Minnesota; Orland Park Place, located in Orland Park, Illinois; and Ravinia Plaza, located in Orland Park, Illinois subject to master lease agreements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


As of June 30, 2007 we had no material derivative instruments.  We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument.  We may designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting, as the instrument to be hedged will expose us to interest rate risk, and the derivative financial instrument will reduce that exposure.  Gains or losses related to the derivative financial instrument would be deferred and amortized over the terms of the hedged instrument.  If a derivative instrument terminates or is sold, the gain or loss is recognized.  We will generally enter into derivative transactions that satisfy the aforementioned criteria only.


Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the fact that some of our long-term debt consists of variable interest rate loans.  We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs by closely monitoring our variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when we deem such conversion advantageous.


Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques, including periodically evaluating fixed interest rate quotes on all variable rate debt and the costs associated with converting the debt to fixed rate debt.  Also, existing fixed and variable rate loans which are scheduled to mature in the next year or two are evaluated for possible early refinancing or extension due to consideration given to current interest rates.  The table below presents the principal amount of the debt maturing each year, including monthly annual amortization of principal, through December 31, 2011 and thereafter, based on debt outstanding at June 30, 2007 and weighted average interest rates for the debt maturing in each specified period.

The table above does not reflect indebtedness incurred after June 30, 2007.  Our ultimate exposure to interest rate fluctuations depends on the amount of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, the time at which the interest rate is adjusted, the amount of the adjustment, our ability to prepay or refinance variable rate indebtedness, fixed rate debt that matures and needs to be refinanced and hedging strategies used to reduce the impact of any increases in rates.


The fair value of mortgages payable is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The fair value of our mortgages is estimated to be $146,923 for mortgages which bear interest at variable rates and $763,364 for mortgages which bear interest at fixed rates.  We estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to us for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders.


At June 30, 2007, approximately $146,923, or 16%, of our debt has variable interest rates averaging 6.71%.  An increase in the variable interest rates charged on debt containing variable interest rate terms, constitutes a market risk.  A 0.25% annualized increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by approximately $184 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to the members of senior management and the Board of Directors.


Based on management’s evaluation as of June 30, 2007, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of the date of evaluation to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the three months ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
