Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the
words anticipates, believes, expects, intends, future, and words of similar import which
express the Companys beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future performance or future
events or trends. While forward-looking statements reflect good faith beliefs, expectations or
intentions, they are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to
differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements as a result of factors outside of the Companys control. Certain
factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: real
estate investment considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in general
and in the Companys market areas in particular; the financial viability of the Companys tenants;
the continuing availability of suitable acquisitions, and development and redevelopment
opportunities, on favorable terms; the availability of equity and debt capital in the public and
private markets; the availability of suitable joint venture partners; changes in interest rates;
returns from development, redevelopment and acquisition activities may not be at expected levels or
at expected times; risks inherent in ongoing development and redevelopment projects including, but
not limited to, cost overruns resulting from weather delays, changes in the nature and scope of
development and redevelopment efforts, changes in governmental regulations related thereto, and
market factors involved in the pricing of material and labor; the need to renew leases or re-let
space upon the expiration of current leases; and the financial flexibility to repay or refinance
debt obligations when due.

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Preparation
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. (the Company) was organized in 1984 and elected to be taxed as
a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 1986. The Company has focused primarily on the
ownership, operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored community shopping
centers and drug store-anchored convenience centers located in nine states, largely in the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. At June 30, 2007, the Company owned 106 properties,
aggregating approximately 10.6 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA).
Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) is the entity through
which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through
subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company
owned a 95.7% economic interest in, and is the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership.
The limited partners interest in the Operating Partnership (4.3% at June 30, 2007 and December
31, 2006) is represented by Operating Partnership Units (OP Units), and is adjusted at the end
of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners ownership percentage of the
Operating Partnerships net equity. The approximately 1,982,000 OP Units outstanding at June 30,
2007 are economically equivalent to the Companys common stock and are convertible into the
Companys common stock at the option of the respective holders on a one-to-one basis.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the
Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and joint venture partnerships in which it participates.
With respect to its four consolidated joint ventures, the Company has general partnership interests
of 25% and 30% and, (1) as such entities are not variable-interest entities pursuant to the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities (FIN 46R), and (2) as the Company is the sole general partner and exercises
substantial operating control over these entities pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
04-05, Determining Whether a General Partner, or General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited
Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, the Company has
determined that such partnerships should be consolidated for financial statement purposes. EITF
04-05 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should
consolidate, a limited partnership or similar entity in which it owns a minority interest. The
Company also has a 49% interest, acquired in 2006, in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns a
single-tenant office property, and which the Company has determined is not a variable-interest
entity pursuant to FIN 46R. Although the Company exercises influence over this joint venture, it
does not have operating control; accordingly, it accounts for its investment under the equity
method.
The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
8
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(unaudited)
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2007 and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The 2006
financial statements have been revised where necessary to conform to the 2007
presentation, relating principally to the discontinued operation and the
consolidated statement of cash flows. The results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. The financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006.
As used herein, the Company refers to Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or,
where the context so requires, Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. only.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in
accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Real Estate Investments and Discontinued Operations
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based
upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for
betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the properties are
capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not
materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations
as incurred.
Upon the sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation and amortization would be removed from the accounts and
the resulting gain or loss, if any, would be reflected as discontinued
operations. In addition, prior periods financial statements would be
reclassified to eliminate the operations of sold properties. Real estate
investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and
construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other
carrying costs during the development and/or renovation periods, are included in
the costs of the related assets and charged to operations through depreciation
over the respective assets estimated useful lives.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires that management
review each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may
not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the
future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investments
use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected
future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing
demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the
projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an
impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds
estimated fair value. A real estate investment held for sale is carried at the
lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value, less the cost of a
potential sale. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period the
property is held for sale.
In May 2007, the Company decided to
dispose of Stadium Plaza, located in East Lansing, Michigan. The
property, with 78,000 sq. ft. of GLA, is being actively marketed, is expected to
be sold within one year from the date classified as held for sale, and, in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, the carrying value of the propertys assets
(principally the net book value of the real estate) have been classified as held
for sale on the Companys consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 (there were no related held for sale liabilities associated
with the property). In addition, the propertys results of operations have been
classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the
consolidated statements of income. No impairment provision was required as of
June 30, 2007. The following is a summary of the components of income from
discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligations, provides clarification of the term conditional asset retirement
obligation as used in SFAS No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations, to be a
legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing
and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not
be within the control of the Company. The Interpretation requires that the
Company record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation if the
fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental studies
generally conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to substantially all
of the Companys properties did not reveal any material environmental
liabilities, and the Company is unaware of any subsequent environmental matters
that would have created a material liability. The Company believes that its
properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as
well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements.
Intangible Lease Asset/Liability
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangibles, require that management allocate the fair value of real estate
acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of
in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined
by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to
land, buildings and improvements based on managements determination of the
relative fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired propertys
intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying
costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance,
other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the
expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand.
Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing
commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
The value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase
price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market
rental rates, over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the
present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the
leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received
and managements estimate of market lease rates, measured over the non-cancelable
terms of the respective leases. The value of other intangibles is amortized to
expense, and the above-market and below-market lease values are amortized to
rental income, over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.
If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized
amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.

With respect to all of the Companys acquisitions through June 30, 2007, the
fair value of in-place leases and other intangibles has been allocated, on a
preliminary basis where applicable, to the intangible asset and liability
accounts. Unamortized intangible lease liabilities relate primarily to
below-market leases, and amounted to $55,789,000 and $53,160,000 at June 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006, respectively.
As a result of recording the intangible lease assets and liabilities, (1)
revenues were increased by $2,509,000 and $2,043,000 for the three months ended
June 30 2007 and 2006, respectively, relating to the amortization of intangible
lease liabilities, and (2) depreciation and amortization expense was increased
correspondingly by $3,473,000 and $2,635,000 for the respective three-month
periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, (1) revenues were
increased by $5,098,000 and $4,671,000, respectively, relating to the
amortization of intangible lease liabilities, and (2) depreciation and
amortization expense was increased correspondingly by $6,769,000 and $5,552,000
for the respective six-month periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term
investments with original maturities of less than ninety days.
Restricted Cash
The terms of several of the Companys mortgage loans payable require the
Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such
restricted cash is generally available only for property-level requirements for
which the reserve was established, is not available to fund other property-level
or Company-level obligations, and amounted to $11,757,000 and $10,909,000 at June
30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. In addition, joint venture
partnership agreements require, among other things, that the Company maintain
separate cash accounts for the operation of the joint ventures, and that
distributions to the general and minority interest partners be strictly
controlled. Cash at consolidated joint ventures amounted to $511,000 and $598,000
at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Rents and Other Receivables
Management has determined that all of the Companys leases with its various
tenants are operating leases. Rental income with scheduled rent increases is
recognized using the straight-line method over the respective terms of the
leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line
basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included in rents and
other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally
contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of
property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred; such income is
recognized in the periods earned. In addition, certain operating leases contain
contingent rent provisions under which tenants are
12
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(unaudited)
required to pay a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount as additional
rent. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified targets are
met.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related
to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes
accounts receivable and the allowance for bad debts by considering historical bad debts, tenant
creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in tenants payment patterns when
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The allowance for
doubtful accounts was $1,292,000 and $1,439,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured amounts and tenant
receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions.
Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires certain tenants to
provide security deposits. Although these security deposits are insufficient to meet the terminal
value of a tenants lease obligations, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to
offset at least in part the economic costs associated with lost rents and other charges, and the costs associated
with releasing the premises.
Deferred Charges, Net
Deferred charges at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are net of accumulated
amortization and are comprised of the following:

and 2006, respectively, and $2,329,000 and $2,100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its
income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of
its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN
48), regarding accounting for, and disclosure of, uncertain tax positions. This interpretation
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement in the financial statements of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance as to its
application and related transition, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. The adoption of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and clarifies the principle that
fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
assets or liabilities. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest
priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, and
applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157, which becomes effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, to have a material effect on its consolidated financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial
assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement
attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement does not eliminate the
disclosure requirements of other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about
fair value measurements in SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
and SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of
14
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(unaudited)
adopting the statement, which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007.
Earnings Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per share (EPS)
is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period (including shares held by the Rabbi Trusts). Fully
diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock; such additional
dilutive shares amounted to 4,000 and 245,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, and 5,000 and 256,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, effective
January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R established financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based employee compensation plans, including all arrangements by which employees receive
shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer, or the employer incurs liabilities to
employees in amounts based on the price of the employers stock. The statement also defined a fair
value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument.
The Companys 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan) provides for the granting of
incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance units and
performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock that may be issued
pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 850,000, and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to
grants to any single participant is 250,000. Substantially all grants issued pursuant to the
Incentive Plan are restricted stock grants which specify vesting (1) upon the third anniversary
of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of
performance for performance-based grants. Time-based grants are valued according to the market
price for the Companys common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the
Company engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date
of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance
criteria. In February 2007, the Company issued 37,000 shares of common stock as performance-based
grants, which will vest if the total annual return on an investment in the Companys common stock
over the three-year period ending December 31, 2009 is equal to or greater than an average of 8%
per year. The independent appraisal determined the value of the performance-based shares to be
$10.09 per share, compared to a market price at the date of grant of $16.45 per share. The 142,000
additional restricted shares issued during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were time-based
15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

grants. The value of such grants is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
respective vesting periods. Those grants of restricted shares that are transferred to Rabbi
Trusts are classified as treasury stock in the Companys consolidated balance sheet, and are
accounted for pursuant to EITF No. 97-14, Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements
Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested. The following table sets forth

At June 30, 2007, 456,000 shares remained available for grants pursuant to the
Incentive Plan, and $3,525,000 remained as deferred compensation, to be amortized over
various periods ending in June 2010.
During 2001, pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan), the Company
granted to directors options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 13,000 shares of
common stock at $10.50 per share, the market value of the Companys common stock on the date
of the grant. The options are fully exercisable and expire in 2011. In connection with the
adoption of the Incentive Plan, the Company agreed that it would not grant any more options
under the Option Plan.
In connection with an acquisition of a shopping center in 2002, the Operating
Partnership issued warrants to purchase approximately 83,000 OP Units to a minority interest
partner in the property. Such warrants have an exercise price of $13.50 per unit, subject to
certain anti-dilution

adjustments, are folly vested, and expire in

SAB 108
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), which
provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior period misstatements in quantifying
current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 provides for the
quantification of the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and
reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. If a
misstatement is material to the current year financial statements, the prior year financial
statements should also be corrected, even though such revision was, and continues to be, immaterial
to the prior year financial statements. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial
errors would not require previously-filed reports to be amended; such correction should be made in
the current period filings. The adoption of SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006 did not have a material
effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

The net valuation increases in assumed mortgage loans payable result from
adjusting the contract rates of interest (ranging from 4.9% to 5.9% per annum in 2007 and from 7.0%
to 7.3% per annum in 2006) to market rates of interest (5.5% in 2007 and ranging from 5.7 to 6.0% per annum in 2006). |
In connection with preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements for
inclusion in this periods Form 10-Q, the Company determined that cash flows from changes in
accounts payable and accrued expenses relating to real estate expenditures should have been
included in investing, rather than operating, cash flow activities. Accordingly, the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 has been revised by (1) cash flows
provided by operating activities being changed from $ 13,747,000 to $17,409,000, and (2) cash
flows from investing activities being changed from ($41,327,000) to ($44,989,000).

(unaudited)
Companys option on or after July 28, 2009 at a price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
distributions.
In December 2006, the Company sold 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $16.00
per share, and realized net proceeds, after underwriting fees and offering costs, of approximately
$ 113.8 million, substantially all of which were used initially to repay amounts outstanding under
the Companys secured revolving credit facility (in January 2007, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option to the extent of 275,000 shares, and the Company realized additional net
proceeds of $4.1 million).
Pursuant to a registration statement filed in June 2005 and prospectus supplements thereto
(applicable to a total of 7,000,000 shares), the Company is authorized to sell shares of its
common stock through registered deferred offering programs. Pursuant to these programs, the
Company sold 3,295,000 shares of its common stock during 2006, at an average price of $15.64 per
share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after issuance expenses, of approximately $49.9
million. The Company has not authorized any sales under these programs during 2007.
Note 4. Real Estate
On January 18, 2007, the Company acquired the Fairview Commons shopping center in New
Cumberland, Pennsylvania, an approximately 60,000 sq. ft. shopping center adjacent to its Fairview
Plaza shopping center , for a purchase price of approximately $4.3 million, including closing
costs. The acquisition cost was funded from the Companys secured revolving credit facility.
On January 30, 2007, the Company acquired the Oakland Commons shopping center in Bristol,
Connecticut, an approximately 90,000 sq. ft. supermarket-anchored shopping center, for a purchase
price of approximately $ 12.5 million, including closing costs. The acquisition cost was funded
from the Companys secured revolving credit facility.
Effective April 2, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with a
wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Homburg Invest Inc., a publicly-traded Canadian corporation listed
on the Toronto and Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchanges (Homburg), with respect to four shopping
centers then owned and managed by the Company and the five shopping centers acquired by the
Company on April 4, 2007 as described below; the aggregate valuation for the nine properties was
approximately $170 million. Richard Homburg, a director of the Company, is Chairman and CEO of
Homburg. In connection with the joint venture investment, the independent members of the Companys
Board of Directors obtained appraisals in support of the transfer values of the then-owned
properties. The Company will hold a 20% interest in, and be the sole general partner of, the joint
venture and Homburg, through such subsidiary, will acquire the remaining 80% interest. The joint
venture is structured in limited partnerships such that, at Homburgs election, it may sell a
portion of its ownership interests to individual investors
19

in Europe, and Homburg will be entitled to certain fees with respect thereto, payable by the
Company. The Company will be entitled to a promote structure, applicable separately to each
property, which, if certain targets are met, will permit the Company to receive at least 40% of
the returns in excess of a leveraged 9.25% threshold. Additionally, the Company will receive fees
for ongoing property management, leasing, construction management, acquisitions, dispositions,
financings and refinancings. Closing of the sale of the Companys interests in the nine properties
to the joint venture is expected prior to December 31, 2007. The transactions contemplated by
this joint venture do not qualify as a sale for financial reporting purposes; accordingly, the
Company will continue to consolidate the properties.
On April 4, 2007, the Company acquired five supermarket-anchored shopping centers located in
Eastern Pennsylvania, aggregating approximately 354,000 sq. ft. of GLA. The aggregate purchase
price was approximately $91.9 million, including closing costs, financed by (1) the assumption of
approximately $42.8 million of existing first-mortgage financing bearing interest at rates ranging
from 4.94% to 5.89% per annum, a weighted average of 5.62% per annum, and maturing over periods
ending principally in 2015, (2) new financing of approximately $14.3 million bearing interest at
5.53% per annum and maturing in 2017, and (3) approximately $34.8 million from the Companys
secured revolving credit facility.
Effective April 5, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement for the
construction and development of an estimated 700,000 sq. ft. shopping center in Pottsgrove,
Pennsylvania, approximately 40 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Total project costs, including
purchase of the land parcels, are estimated at $105 million. The Company is committed to provide
up to $ 17.5 million of equity capital for a 60% interest in the joint venture, with a preferred
rate of return of 9.25% per annum.
On June 7, 2007, the Company acquired Grove City Discount Drug Mart Plaza in Grove City,
Ohio, an approximately 41,000 sq. ft. convenience center, for a purchase price of approximately
$4.4 million, including closing costs. The acquisition cost was funded from the Companys secured
revolving credit facility.
At June 30, 2007, a substantial number of the Companys real estate properties were pledged
as collateral for either property-specific mortgage loans payable or for the secured revolving

Secured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a $300 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of
America, N.A. (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has
pledged certain of its shopping center properties as collateral for borrowings
thereunder. The facility, as amended, is expandable to $400 million, subject to certain
conditions, and will expire in January 2009, subject to a one-year extension option.
Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $ 139.0 million at June 30, 2007,
and such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 6.4% per annum. Borrowings under
the facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a basis point (bps) spread ranging
from 110 bps to 145 bps depending upon the Companys leverage ratio, as
21
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(unaudited)
defined (the spread as of June 30, 2007 was 110 bps). The facility also requires an unused
portion fee of 15 bps. Based on covenant measurements and collateral in place as of June 30, 2007,
the Company was permitted to draw up to approximately $278.8 million, of which approximately $139.8
million remained available as of that date.
The credit facility is used to fund acquisitions, development and redevelopment activities,
capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other
general corporate purposes. The facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including
limits on leverage and distributions (limited to 95% of funds from operations, as defined), and
other financial statement ratios. The Company plans to add additional properties, when available,
to the collateral pool with the intent of making the full facility available.
Note 6. Subsequent Events
On July 18, 2007, the Company acquired Circle Plaza in Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania, an
approximately 92,000 sq. ft. shopping center, for a purchase price of approximately $2.8 million,
including closing costs. The acquisition cost was funded from the Companys secured revolving
credit facility.
On July 19, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.225 per share
with respect to its common stock as well as an equal distribution per unit on its outstanding OP
Units. At the same time, the Board approved a dividend of $0.554688 per share with respect to the
Companys 8-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The distributions are payable on
August 20, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 10, 2007.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated
financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Executive Summary
The Company is a fully-integrated real estate company which focuses primarily on ownership,
operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored community shopping centers and
drug store-anchored convenience centers. The Companys existing properties are located in nine
states, largely in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. At June 30, 2007, the Company had a
portfolio of 106 properties totaling approximately 10.6 million square feet of GLA, including 102
wholly-owned properties comprising approximately 10.1 million square feet and four properties owned
in joint venture comprising approximately 485,000 square feet. At June 30, 2007, the portfolio of
wholly-owned properties was comprised of (1) 93 stabilized properties (those properties at least
80% leased and not designated as development/redevelopment properties as of June 30, 2007), with
an aggregate of 8.9 million square feet of GLA, which were approximately 96% leased, (2) four
development/redevelopment properties with an aggregate of 890,000 square feet of GLA, which were
approximately 67% leased, (3) four non-stabilized properties with an aggregate of 308,000 square
feet of GLA, which are presently being re-tenanted and which were approximately 71% leased, and (4)
one property held for sale with an aggregate of 78,000 square feet of GLA, which was 100% leased.
The four properties owned in joint venture are all stabilized properties and are 100.0% leased.
The entire 106 property portfolio was approximately 93% leased at June 30, 2007. In addition, the
Company has a 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns a single-tenant office
property.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership
structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to the Operating Partnership,
organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Company conducts substantially
all of its business through the Operating Partnership. At June 30, 2007, the Company owned a 95.7%
economic interest in, and is the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. OP Units are
economically equivalent to the Companys common stock and are convertible into the Companys common
stock at the option of the respective holders on a one-to-one basis.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense
reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Companys operating results therefore
depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases.
The Company focuses its investment activities on supermarket-anchored community shopping centers
and drug store-anchored convenience centers. The Company believes, because of the need of consumers
to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, that the
nature of its investments provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic
times.
23
The Company continues to seek opportunities to acquire stabilized properties and properties
suited for development and/or redevelopment where it can utilize its experience in shopping center
development, renovation, expansion, re-leasing and re-merchandising to achieve long-term cash flow
growth and favorable investment returns. The Company would consider investment opportunities in
regions beyond its present markets only in the event such opportunities were consistent with its
focus, could be effectively controlled and managed, have the potential for favorable investment
returns, and would contribute to increased shareholder value.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the
Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and
purchase accounting allocations related thereto, asset impairment, and derivatives used to hedge
interest-rate risks. Managements estimates are based both on information that is currently
available and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those estimates could be
different under varying assumptions or conditions.
The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies, the application of
which requires significant judgments and estimates:
Revenue Recognition
Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over
the respective terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a
straight-line basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included in rents and
other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions
under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and
real estate taxes incurred; such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, certain
operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay a
percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount as additional rent. The Company defers
recognition of contingent rental income until those specified targets are met.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related
to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes
accounts receivable by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and
changes in tenants payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because a higher bad debt
allowance would result in lower net income, whereas a lower bad debt allowance would result in
higher net income.
24
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision
for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal
useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures for betterments that
substantially extend the useful lives of real estate assets are capitalized. Real estate
investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in
progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction
and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations
through depreciation over the assets estimated useful life. The Company is required to make
subjective estimates as to the useful lives of its real estate assets for purposes of determining
the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on
net income. A shorter estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of increasing
depreciation expense and lowering net income, whereas a longer estimate of the useful life of an
asset would have the effect of reducing depreciation expense and increasing net income.
The Company applies SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangibles, in valuing real estate acquisitions. In connection therewith, the fair value
of real estate acquired is allocated to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair
value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The fair value
of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were
vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on managements
determination of the relative fair values of such assets. In valuing an acquired propertys
intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the
expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and
estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of
current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including
leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
The value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a
property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates, over (2) the estimated
fair value of the property as if vacant. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values are
recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated
with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received and
managements estimate of market lease rates, measured over the non-cancelable terms of the
respective leases. The value of other intangibles is amortized to expense, and the above-market
and below-market lease values are amortized to rental income, over the remaining non-cancelable
terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration,
all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
Management is required to make subjective assessments in connection with its valuation of
real estate acquisitions. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because (1)
above-market and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to rental income, and (2) the value
of other intangibles is amortized to expense. Accordingly, higher allocations to below-
25
market lease liability and other intangibles would result in higher rental income and amortization
expense, whereas lower allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would
result in lower rental income and amortization expense.
The Company applies SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, to recognize and measure impairment of long-lived assets. Management reviews each real
estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an
estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investments use
and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating
income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other
factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value
of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value
exceeds estimated fair value. A real estate investment held for sale is carried at the lower of its
carrying amount or estimated fair value, less the cost of a potential sale. Depreciation and
amortization are suspended during the period the property is held for sale. Management is required
to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate
properties. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because an impairment loss is
recognized in the period that the assessment is made.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, effective
January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R established financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based employee compensation plans, including all arrangements by which employees receive
shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer, or the employer incurs liabilities to
employees in amounts based on the price of the employers stock. The statement also defined a fair
value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument.
The Companys Incentive Plan provides for the granting of
incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance units and
performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock that may be issued
pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 850,000, and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to
grants to any single participant is 250,000. Substantially all grants issued pursuant to the
Incentive Plan are restricted stock grants which specify vesting (1) upon the third anniversary
of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (2) upon the completion of a designated period of
performance for performance-based grants. Time-based grants are valued according to the market
price for the Companys common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the
Company engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date
of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance
criteria. The value of such grants is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective
vesting periods. These value estimates have a direct impact on net income, because higher
valuations would result in lower net income, where lower valuations would result in higher net
income.
26
Results of Operations
Differences in results of operations between 2007 and 2006, respectively, were
primarily the result of the Companys property acquisition program and continuing
development/redevelopment activities. During the period January 1, 2006 through June 30,
2007, the Company acquired 21 shopping and convenience centers aggregating approximately
2.3 million sq. ft. of GLA, approximately 179 acres of land for expansion and/or future
development, and a 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns a
single-tenant office property, for a total cost of approximately $326.5 million. In
addition, the Company completed and placed into service two ground-up developments having
an aggregate cost of approximately $8.4 million. Income from continuing operations before
minority and limited partners interests and preferred distribution requirements increased
to $5.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $4.4 million during the
three months ended June 30, 2006. Income from continuing operations before minority and
limited partners interests and preferred distribution requirements increased to $11.2
million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.5 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2006.

Non-operating income and expense consists principally of interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, and equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint
ventures. |
Properties held throughout both periods. The Company held 83 properties
throughout the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Rents and expense recoveries
increased primarily as a result of (1) lease commencements at the Companys development,
redevelopment and stabilized properties ($926,000) and (2) an increase in expense
recoveries ($133,000), partially offset by (3) a decrease in the amortization of intangible
lease liabilities ($136,000), resulting from acceleration of amortization in 2006 relating
to prematurely-terminated leases (which also resulted in a decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense), (4) a decrease in straight-line rents ($243,000), and (5) a decrease
in percentage rents ($434,000), resulting from the timing of percentage rent income
accruals. Property operating expenses decreased as a result of (1) a decrease in the
provision for doubtful accounts ($371,000) and (2) a decrease in insurance expense
($117,000), partially offset by (3) an increase in snow removal costs ($201,000), (4) an
increase in real estate taxes ($114,000), and (5) an increase in other operating expenses
($16,000).
27
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased primarily as a result of costs associated with the retirement of a senior
executive and the initial compensation/relocation costs of his replacement ($1,535,000).
Non-operating income and expense, net. Non-operating income and expense, net,
increased primarily as a result of (1) increased interest costs (a) from borrowings related
to property acquisitions, as reduced by (b) the impact on interest costs of proceeds from
common stock sales throughout 2006 used initially to reduce outstanding borrowings under
the Companys secured revolving credit facility, offset by (2) earnings from an
unconsolidated joint venture acquired in November 2006.

Non-operating income and expense consists principally of interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, and equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures. |
Properties held throughout both periods. The Company held 82 properties
throughout the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Rents and expense recoveries
increased primarily as a result of (1) lease commencements at the Companys development,
redevelopment and stabilized properties ($1,615,000) and (2) an increase in expense
recoveries ($1,013,000), partially offset by (3) a decrease in the amortization of
intangible lease liabilities ($809,000), resulting from (a) the impact of purchase
accounting allocations in the first quarter of 2006 applicable to properties acquired
during 2005 (which also resulted in a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense)
and (b) acceleration of amortization in 2006 relating to prematurely-terminated leases, (4)
a decrease in straight-line rents ($542,000), and (5) a decrease in percentage rents
($195,000), resulting from the timing of percentage rent income accruals. Property
operating expenses increased as a result of (1) an increase in snow removal costs
($539,000), (2) an increase in real estate taxes ($249,000), (3) an increase in other
operating expenses ($191,000), offset by (4) a decrease in the provision for doubtful
accounts ($776,000) and (5) a decrease in insurance expense ($134,000).
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased
primarily as a result of costs associated with the retirement of a senior executive and the
initial compensation/relocation costs of his replacement ($1,535,000), increased
compensation costs, and the Companys continued growth.
28
Non-operating income and expense, net. Non-operating income and expense, net, increased
primarily as a result of (1) increased interest costs (a) from borrowings related to property
acquisitions, as reduced by (b) the impact on interest costs of proceeds from common stock sales
throughout 2006 used initially to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Companys secured
revolving credit facility, offset by (2) earnings from an unconsolidated joint venture acquired in
November 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including
debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and preferred and common dividend
distributions, primarily from operating cash flows; the Company has also used its secured
revolving credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to fund long-term liquidity
requirements for property acquisitions, development and/or redevelopment costs, capital
improvements, and maturing debt initially with the secured revolving credit facility and
property-specific construction financing, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or
assuming additional mortgage debt, the sale of equity securities, the issuance of additional OP
Units, and the sale of properties or interest therein (including joint venture arrangements).
The Company has a $300 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A.
(as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has pledged certain of its
shopping center properties as collateral for borrowings thereunder; the facility, as amended, is
expandable to $400 million, subject to certain conditions, and will expire in January 2009,
subject to a one-year extension option. As of June 30, 2007, based on covenant measurements and
collateral in place, the Company was permitted to draw up to approximately $278.8 million, of
which approximately $139.8 million remained available as of that date. The credit facility is used
to fund acquisitions, development and redevelopment activities, capital expenditures, mortgage
repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The
facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including limits on leverage and
distributions (limited to 95% of funds from operations, as defined), and other financial statement
ratios. The Company plans to add additional properties, when available, to the collateral pool
with the intent of making the full facility available.
At June 30, 2007, the Companys financial liquidity was provided principally by (1) $18.3
million in cash and cash equivalents, and (2) $139.8 million available under the secured revolving
credit facility. Mortgage loans payable at June 30, 2007 consisted of fixed-rate notes totaling
$557.0 million (with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%) and variable-rate notes totaling
$143.8 million, including $139.0 million under the secured revolving credit facility (with a
combined weighted average interest rate of 6.5%). Total mortgage loans payable have an overall
weighted average interest rate of 5.8% and mature at various dates through 2021.
In December 2006, the Company sold 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $16.00
per share, and realized net proceeds, after underwriting fees and offering costs, of approximately
$113.8 million; in January 2007, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to the
extent of 275,000 shares, and the Company realized additional net proceeds of $4.1 million.
Pursuant to a registration statement filed in June 2005 and prospectus supplements
29
related thereto (applicable to a total of 7,000,000 shares), the Company is authorized to sell
shares of its common stock through registered deferred offering programs. No shares were sold
pursuant to the current program during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The terms of several of the Companys mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit
certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such restricted cash is generally
available only for property-level requirements for which the reserve was established, and is not
available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations. In addition, joint venture
partnership agreements require, among other things, that the Company maintain separate cash
accounts for the operation of the joint ventures, and that distributions to the general and
minority interest partners be strictly controlled.
Net Cash Flows
In connection with preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements for
inclusion in this periods Form 10-Q, the Company determined that cash flows from changes in
accounts payable and accrued expenses relating to real estate expenditures should have been
included in investing, rather than operating, cash flow activities. As a result, the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 has been revised by (1) cash flows
provided by operating activities being changed from $13,747,000 to $17,409,000, and (2) cash flows
from investing activities being changed from ($41,327,000) to ($44,989,000).
Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $24.9 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash flows provided by operating activities of $17.4
million during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in operating cash flows during the
first six months of 2007, as compared with the first six months of 2006, was primarily the result
of (1) property acquisitions, and (2) the impact of the common stock offering in December 2006.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $93.1 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and $45.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, and were primarily the
result of the Companys property acquisition program and continuing development/redevelopment
activities. During the first six months of 2007, the Company acquired eight shopping and
convenience centers. During the first six months of 2006, the Company acquired two shopping
centers, the remaining 50% interest in a third, land for future expansion, and sold its interest
in an unconsolidated joint venture.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $68.6 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and $30.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the first
six months of 2007, the Company received net borrowings of $70.0 million under the
30
Companys secured revolving credit facility, $23.0 million in net proceeds from mortgage
financings, and $3.9 million in net proceeds from sales of common stock, offset by preferred and
common stock dividend distributions of $23.8 million, repayment of mortgage obligations of $4.1
million, distributions paid with respect to limited partners interests of $1.0 million, and
payment of deferred financing costs of $1.0 million. During the first six months of 2006, the
Company received $61.6 million in net proceeds from the settlement of a forward sales agreement
relating to an August 2005 public offering and sales of common stock under registered deferred
offering programs, and $14.6 million in net proceeds from mortgage financings, offset by net
repayments of $23.0 million under the Companys secured revolving credit facility, preferred and
common stock dividend distributions of $17.5 million, repayment of mortgage obligations of $3.6
million, distributions paid with respect to minority and limited partners interests of $0.9 million,
and payment of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations (FFO) is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs
that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with
GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis
for comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as it captures features
particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over
time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets.
Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity
REITs operating performance. The Company presents FFO because the Company considers it an
important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently
used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs.
Among other things, the Company uses FFO or an FFO-based measure (1) as one of several criteria to
determine performance-based bonuses for members of senior management, (2) in performance
comparisons with other shopping center REITs, and (3) to measure compliance with certain financial
covenants under the terms of the Loan Agreement relating to the Companys secured revolving credit
facility.
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO published by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income
applicable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses
from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are computed to
reflect FFO on the same basis).
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered
as an alternative to net income applicable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating
activities. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the
ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing
the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO,
the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another.

Inflation
Low to moderate levels of inflation during the past several years have favorably
impacted the Companys operations by stabilizing operating expenses. At the same time, low
inflation has had the indirect effect of reducing the Companys ability to increase tenant
rents. However, the Companys properties have tenants whose leases include expense
reimbursements and other provisions to minimize the effect of inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary market risk facing the Company is interest rate risk on its variable-rate
mortgage loan payable and secured revolving credit facility. The Company will,
when
32
advantageous, hedge its interest rate risk using derivative financial instruments. The
Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.
The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (1) the secured
floating-rate revolving credit facility used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and
expand its real estate investment portfolio, and (2) floating-rate construction financing. The
Companys objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate
changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these
objectives, the Company may borrow at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial
instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and/or treasury locks in order to mitigate its
interest rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument. The Company does not enter
into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
At June 30, 2007, long-term debt consisted of fixed and variable-rate mortgage loans payable,
and the variable-rate secured revolving credit facility. The average interest rate on the $557.0
million of fixed rate indebtedness outstanding was 5.7%, with maturities at various dates through
2021. The average interest rate on the Companys $143.8 million of variable-rate debt was 6.5%,
with maturities at various dates through 2009. Based on the amount of variable-rate debt
outstanding at June 30, 2007, if interest rates either increase or decrease by 1%, the Companys
net income would decrease or increase respectively by approximately $1,438,000 per annum.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 is reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions
(SEC) rules and forms. In this regard, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee currently
comprised of several of the Companys executive officers as well as certain other employees with
knowledge of information that may be considered in the SEC reporting process. The Committee has
responsibility for the development and assessment of the financial and non-financial information to
be included in the reports filed with the SEC, and assists the Companys Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their certifications contained in the Companys SEC
filings. The Committee meets regularly and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more
frequent basis. The Companys principal executive and financial officers have evaluated its
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007, and have determined that such disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, there have been no changes in the internal
controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.
