Leo Ullman, Cedar’s CEO, stated, “The Company’s results evidence initial returns from the significant acquisitions that were completed during the year and the solid leasing efforts executed by our team during 2010. The Company is well positioned to drive increases in most every cash metric as we move forward. We will focus on our strong leasing efforts, increasing our occupancy at our development properties and benefiting from the fee income derived from our joint venture properties. In addition, utilizing a capital recycling strategy in 2011, we will work to further reduce our debt and to eliminate any assets we do not believe will contribute to long-term growth in our operating results in the future.

In this connection, we have already reported placing a substantial number of properties for sale. Our clear intent, of course, with respect to all of these pursuits, is to achieve growth in shareholder value.”
Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company placed 17 properties for sale, including 15 in Ohio, and incurred an impairment charge of $36.3 million. The Company had already placed another 11 properties for sale in 2009 and 2010. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of these properties have been reclassified as “held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets; the properties’ results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations.
Operating Activities, excluding discontinued operations
Leasing
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company signed 53 renewal leases, substantially all at operating properties, totaling approximately 466,000 square feet of GLA with an average increase in base rents of 6.0% (4.9% on a cash basis). Renewals include three leases aggregating 276,000 square feet that renewed with no increase according to their terms. The average increase for the other 50 renewal leases was 11.0% (9.0% on a cash basis). The Company signed 20 new leases totaling approximately 137,000 square feet at an average base rent of $14.03 per square foot, while the Company had 11 terminated leases, totaling approximately 23,000 square feet, at an average base rent of $12.64 per square foot.
The Company has renewed more than 63% of leases coming up for renewal in 2011.
Occupancy
Occupancy on an overall basis, including redevelopment properties and excluding properties held for sale, increased by 40 basis points to approximately 92.5% in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to the prior quarter. Excluding properties undergoing major re-development, occupancy at the Company’s operating properties was 94.4%. Overall results reflect the continued vacancy of a single big box club store tenant at The Brickyard (Berlin, Connecticut, where the Company expects to replace most of a departed Sam’s Club with a new “big box” tenant) and a continued vacancy at Oakhurst Plaza (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where Giant Stores vacated its store in favor of a large new prototype at the Company’s new ground-up development at Blue Mountain Commons, a quarter mile away, and where the Company has entered into a new lease with Gold’s Gym at Oakhurst Plaza for approximately half the vacated space). Lease-up efforts continue at the Company’s ground-up development joint venture properties at Crossroads II (Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania) and Upland Square (Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania), a 473,000 sq. ft. center shadow-anchored by Target.
The Company reports occupancy on the basis of signed leases with tenants in place and paying rent.
Same-Property Results
Same-property net operating income, comprising 82 consolidated properties and excluding straight-line rents and amortization of intangible lease liabilities, was $20.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to $20.5 million for the comparable period of 2009. Results in the fourth quarter of 2010 were adversely impacted by increased expense and reduced revenue at the Company’s Stadium Plaza property from the rejection of one lease in the Company’s portfolio pursuant to the bankruptcy filings by The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company and its affiliates; the space is presently sublet to another tenant at a lower rental rate.

Financial Results
For the fourth quarter of 2010, excluding impairment charges and non-cash revenues from straight line rents and amortization of intangible lease liabilities, as well as certain other non-cash and/or non-recurring items and properties held for sale, the Company had stable year-over-year operating results while continuing to greatly improve its balance sheet strength and financial flexibility.
Revenues
Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from all owned and managed properties, excluding non-cash items, increased 30.2% to $52.4 million as compared to $40.2 million for the comparable quarter of 2009. The increase resulted primarily from lease-up at development properties and the acquisition of properties by the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, including fees related thereto. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 from all owned and managed properties, excluding non-cash items, increased 15.6% to $176.0 million as compared to $152.3 million for the comparable period of 2009.
As a result primarily of the exclusion of revenues during the 2010 periods attributable to the contribution of seven properties previously 100% owned by Cedar to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, the Company’s revenues, as reported, were $39.2 million and $43.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and $157.2 million and $168.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net Operating Income (NOI)
NOI attributable to all owned and managed properties, excluding non-cash revenues and mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation, increased 31.4% to $35.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to $27.3 million for the comparable quarter of 2009. The increase results primarily from the lease-up at development properties and the acquisition of properties by the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, including fees related thereto. The Company’s NOI attributable to all properties, excluding non-cash revenues and mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation, increased 13.8% to $117.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $103.1 million for the comparable period of 2009.
As a result primarily of the exclusion of operations during the 2010 periods attributable to the contribution of seven properties previously 100% owned by Cedar to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, NOI, as reported, was $26.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to $30.7 million for the comparable quarter of 2009. The Company’s NOI, as reported, was $105.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $119.4 million for the comparable period of 2009.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Shareholders
As a result primarily of (i) the exclusion of operations during the 2010 periods attributable to the contribution of seven properties previously 100% owned by Cedar to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, (ii) higher preferred stock dividend expense from the issuance of preferred stock, and (iii) lower non-cash revenues, the Company had a net loss, before impairments and mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation, of $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to net income of $2.0 million for the comparable quarter of 2009. The decreases were partially offset by (i) lower interest expense from the repayment of debt with proceeds from the sale of common and preferred stock, (ii) higher interest expense and amortization of fees from the renewal of the stabilized property line of credit, and (iii) revenues from the lease-up at development properties. Results on a per-share basis were also reduced as a result of the issuances of common stock as described below. Based on the foregoing, the Company had a net loss, before impairments and mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation, of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to net income of $10.2 million for the comparable period of 2009.

FFO and AFFO
As a result primarily of (i) reduced income attributable to the contribution by Cedar of the seven properties previously owned to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, (ii) issuances of additional shares of common and preferred stock and (iii) reduced revenue from straight-line rent and amortization of intangible lease liabilities, operating FFO for the fourth quarter of 2010, before the above-mentioned impairments and non-recurring items, was $9.2 million ($0.14 per share/OP unit), as compared to $12.3 million ($0.24 per share/OP unit) for the comparable quarter of 2009. After the impairment charges, transaction costs and other non-recurring items, FFO as reported was a loss of $27.1 million ($0.40 per share/OP unit) as compared to a loss of $14.6 million ($0.28 per share/OP unit) for the comparable quarter of 2009.
Operating FFO for the year ended December 31, 2010, before the above-mentioned impairments and non-recurring items, was $38.6 million ($0.59 per share/OP unit), as compared to $54.9 million ($1.14 per share/OP unit) for the comparable period of 2009. After transaction costs, impairments and non-recurring items, FFO as reported was a loss of $10.3 million ($0.16 per share/OP unit) as compared to income of $24.6 million ($0.51 per share/OP unit) for the comparable period of 2009.
AFFO, which further excludes from operating FFO non-cash revenues resulting from amortization of intangible lease liabilities and straight-line rents and non-cash expenses relating to non-real estate amortization and stock-based compensation, was $9.9 million ($0.15 per share/OP unit) for the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to $10.9 million ($0.21 per share/OP unit) for the comparable quarter of 2009. AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $37.3 million ($0.57 per share/OP unit) as compared to $46.4 million ($0.96 per share/OP unit) for the comparable period of 2009.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made or incorporated by reference in this press release include certain “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, and words of similar import which express the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s market areas in particular; the financial viability of the Company’s tenants (including an inability to pay rent, filing for bankruptcy protection, closing stores and/or vacating the premises); the continuing availability of acquisition, development and redevelopment opportunities, on favorable terms; the availability of equity and debt capital (including the availability of construction financing) in the public and private markets; the availability of suitable joint venture partners and potential purchasers of the Company’s properties if offered for sale; the ability of the Company’s joint venture partners to fund their respective shares of property acquisitions, tenant improvements and capital expenditures; changes in interest rates; the fact that returns from acquisition, development and redevelopment 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 relating thereto, and market factors involved in the pricing of material and labor; the need to renew leases or re-let space upon the expiration or termination of current leases and incur applicable required replacement costs; and the financial flexibility of the Company and its joint venture partners to repay or refinance debt obligations when due and to fund tenant improvements and capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures — FFO
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 REIT’s 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 adjusted 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 Company’s secured revolving credit facilities.
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.
