Note 1. Business and Organization

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that focuses primarily on ownership and operation of supermarket-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington, DC to Boston corridor. At September 30, 2012, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 67 operating properties (excluding properties “held for sale/conveyance”). In addition, the Company had a 20% interest in 22 operating properties through its Cedar/RioCan joint venture (see below).

During 2011, the Company determined (1) to completely exit the Ohio market, principally the Discount Drug Mart portfolio of drugstore/convenience centers, and concentrate on the mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastal regions, (2) to concentrate on grocery-anchored strip centers, by disposing of its mall and single-tenant/triple-net-lease properties, and (3) to focus on improving operations and performance at the Company’s remaining properties, and to reduce development activities, by disposing of certain development projects, land acquired for development, and other non-core assets. In addition, discontinued operations reflect the consummation of the Homburg joint venture buy/sell transactions (see Note 4).

On October 10, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (“RioCan”) to exit the 20% Cedar / 80% RioCan joint venture that owns 22 retail properties. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company exchanged its 20% interest in the joint venture for (1) a 100% ownership interest in Franklin Village, located in Franklin, Massachusetts, at an agreed-upon value of approximately $75.1 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of approximately $43.1 million, and (2) approximately $40.0 million in cash, which was initially used to reduce the outstanding balance under the Company’s Credit Facility. The Company will continue to manage the properties acquired by RioCan subject to a management agreement which will terminate effective January 31, 2013.

The Company has concluded separation arrangements and terminations of employment agreements relating primarily to employee headcount reductions in connection with the recent property dispositions and exit from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture discussed above. As a result, the Company has accrued approximately $1.1 million as of September 30, 2012 applicable thereto (included in management transition charges and employee termination costs in the consolidated statements of operations).

See Notes 7 and 9 for details relating to sales of 7.25% Series B Preferred Stock and related interim repayments of borrowings under the Company’s Credit facility, and October 2012 redemptions of 8.875% Series A Preferred Stock funded by borrowings under the Company’s Credit facility.

Cedar Realty Trust 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 September 30, 2012, the Company owned a 99.6% economic interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership (0.4% at September 30, 2012) is represented by Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”). The carrying amount of such interest is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners’ ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net equity. The approximately 281,000 OP Units outstanding at September 30, 2012 are economically equivalent to the Company’s common stock. The holders of OP Units have the right to exchange their OP Units for the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, for cash.

As used herein, the “Company” refers to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. only.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The 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. The financial statements reflect certain reclassifications of prior-period amounts to conform to the 2012 presentation, principally to reflect the sale and/or treatment as “held for sale/conveyance” of certain operating properties and the treatment thereof as “discontinued operations”. The reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported net income attributable to common shareholders or earnings per share. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (i) lack the power to make decisions about the entity’s activities that significantly impact the entity’s performance through voting or similar rights, (ii) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS”. This update defines fair value, clarifies a framework to measure fair value, and requires specific disclosures of fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the FASB ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which requires the components of other comprehensive income to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance has been applied retrospectively and, other than presentation as a separate financial statement, its adoption did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 3. Real Estate

At September 30, 2012, substantially all of the Company’s real estate was pledged as collateral for mortgage loans payable and the Company’s credit facility.

Note 4. Discontinued operations and land dispositions

In March 2012, the Company determined to sell Kingston Plaza, located in Kingston, New York, and subsequently sold the property in April 2012. As such, the property has been treated as a “discontinued operation” for all periods presented.

The Company conducts a continuing review of the values for all remaining properties “held for sale/conveyance” and, based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into, the Company recorded $1.1 million net reversals of impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, the Company had 17 properties that were held for sale/conveyance.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company is in the process of conveying four of its properties (Roosevelt II, Gahanna Discount Drug Mart Plaza, Westlake Discount Drug Mart Plaza and McCormick Place) to their respective lenders (mortgage loans payable and accrued interest aggregated $23.3 million at that date). In connection with these conveyances, each applicable subsidiary borrower has stopped paying monthly mortgage payments and is currently in default on these non-recourse mortgages.

On October 12, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with Homburg Invest Inc. (“HII”) relating to the previously disclosed application of the buy/sell provisions of the joint venture agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the joint venture. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company acquired HII’s 80% ownership in Meadows Marketplace, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Fieldstone Marketplace, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, for approximately $27.3 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $21.8 million, giving the Company a 100% ownership interest in these two properties. In addition, the Company sold to HII its 20% ownership interest in the remaining seven joint venture properties for approximately $23.6 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $14.5 million. The Company’s property management agreements for the sold properties terminated upon the closing of the sale.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s investments and liabilities related to deferred compensation plans were determined to be a Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions. The valuation of the liability for the Company’s interest rate swaps, which is measured on a recurring basis, was determined to be a Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and was based on independent values provided by financial institutions. The valuation of the assets for the Company’s real estate held for sale/conveyance – discontinued operations, which is measured on a nonrecurring basis, has been determined to be (i) a Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (ii) a Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by discounted cash flow analyses, direct capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow analyses and direct capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period and where applicable, any estimated debt premiums. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach was utilized for certain land values and include comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.

Generally, the Company engages third party valuation experts to assist with the preparation of the valuation methods noted above. These valuations are reviewed and approved by a diverse group of management, as deemed necessary, including personnel from acquisitions, accounting, finance, operations, development and leasing departments. During every reporting period, management reviews and updates the valuations as appropriate.

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flows analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the aggregate fair values of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans payable, which were determined to be a Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, were approximately $514.2 million and $528.5 million, respectively; the carrying values of such loans were $496.9 million and $524.7 million, respectively.

The following tables show the hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

Note 7. Debt

Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Facility

On January 26, 2012, the Company entered into a $300 million secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which amended, restated and consolidated its $185 million stabilized property revolving credit facility and its $150 million development property credit facility. The two prior facilities were due to expire on January 31, 2012 and June 13, 2012, respectively.

The Credit Facility is comprised of a four-year $75 million term loan and a three-year $225 million revolving credit facility, subject to collateral in place. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company paid participating lender fees and closing and transaction costs of approximately $4.0 million. In addition, the Company wrote off $2.6 million of unamortized fees associated with the terminated stabilized property and development credit facilities.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 275 bps (a weighted average rate of 3.0% per annum at September 30, 2012), and can range from LIBOR plus 200 to 300 bps based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Subject to customary conditions, the term loan and the revolving credit facility may both be extended for one additional year at the Company’s option. Under an accordion feature, the Credit Facility can be increased to $500 million, subject to customary conditions, collateral in place and lending commitments from participating banks.

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, minimum interest coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the Credit Facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility could result in the acceleration of the related debt. The Credit Facility is available to fund acquisitions, redevelopment and remaining development activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company has $18.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the Credit Facility, and had $164.9 million available for additional borrowings as of the date. A significant portion of the revolving credit availability is the result of the application of net cash proceeds from the sale of 4.8 million shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock during September 2012 (see Note 9). In October 2012, the Company redeemed 4.5 million shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for a total cash outlay of $114.1 million which was drawn on its Credit Facility.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $31.6 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates of 5.2% to 6.5% per annum. At that date, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.8 million (included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of interest rate swaps applicable to existing mortgage loans payable. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in fair values of such interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, noncontrolling interests (minority interests in consolidated joint ventures and limited partners’ interest), or operations (included in interest expense), as appropriate.

The Company has entered into joint venture arrangements with respect to a number of its properties. The applicable joint venture agreements generally include buy/sell provisions pursuant to which, after a specified period of years, either party may initiate the buy/sell provision whereby the initiating party can designate a value for the relevant property or properties, and the other party may then elect either to sell its proportionate ownership interest in the joint venture based on the offered value for the property or properties, or to purchase the initiating party’s ownership interest based on such valuation for the property or properties.

Note 9. Shareholders’ Equity

On May 15, 2012, the Company concluded a public offering of 400,000 shares of its 7.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) at $23.00 per share, and realized net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $8.6 million.

(a)	The amounts charged to operations include $362,000, $0, $362,000, and $1,980,000, respectively, applicable to accelerated vestings included in management transition charges and employee termination costs.

On June 15, 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which was designed to replace the existing 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). In connection with the approval of the 2012 Plan, the Company agreed not to grant any additional new awards under the 2004 Plan. The 2012 Plan establishes the procedures for the granting of, among other things, restricted stock awards and, in addition to mirroring the basic provisions of the 2004 Plan, specifically provides for the awarding of the remaining 2.0 million shares to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as provided in his employment agreement. As a result of the approval, 500,000 of such shares, which had previously been recorded as a liability award, were reclassified to equity. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were 557,000 other time-based restricted shares issued with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.60 per share. The 2012 Plan authorized 4.5 million shares to be available for grant and increased the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year to 500,000. At September 30, 2012, 2.5 million shares remained available for grants pursuant to the 2012 Plan.

Note 12. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such shares have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends). Unvested restricted shares are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had 3.6 million and 3.2 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had 3.0 million and 2.1 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:


	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30
	2012			2011			2012			2011

Earnings (loss) per common share, basic and diluted

	$	(0.07	)	$	(1.05	)	$	(0.19	)	$	(1.67	)

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. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding was 281,000 and 1,415,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and 518,000 and 1,415,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, warrants for the purchase of OP Units, which expired on May 31, 2012, have been excluded as they were anti-dilutive for all applicable periods.

Item 2.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Executive Summary

The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust which currently focuses primarily on ownership and operation of supermarket-anchored shopping centers straddling the Washington, DC to Boston corridor. At September 30, 2012, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 67 operating properties (excluding properties “held for sale/conveyance”) totaling approximately 9.6 million square feet of GLA. In addition, the Company had an ownership interest in 22 operating properties, with approximately 3.7 million square feet of GLA, through its Cedar/RioCan joint venture in which the Company has a 20% interest (see below). The entire managed portfolio, including the Cedar/RioCan properties, was approximately 92.6% leased at September 30, 2012 (67 operating properties – 90.9%; Cedar/RioCan joint venture properties – 97.0%).

In keeping with its stated goal of reducing overall leverage to an appropriate level by selling non-core assets, the Company determined (1) to completely exit the Ohio market, principally the Discount Drug Mart portfolio of drugstore/convenience centers, and concentrate on the mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastal regions (two properties sold in 2012 and two properties “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012), (2) to concentrate on grocery-anchored strip centers, by disposing of its mall and single-tenant/triple-net-lease properties (seven properties sold in 2012 and four properties “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012), and (3) to focus on improving operations and performance at the Company’s remaining properties, and to reduce development activities, by disposing of certain development projects, land acquired for development, and other non-core assets (two properties sold in 2012 and four properties “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012). In addition, discontinued operations reflect the consummation of the Homburg joint venture buy/sell transactions (seven properties “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012).

On October 10, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with RioCan to exit the 20% Cedar / 80% RioCan joint venture that owns 22 retail properties. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company exchanged its 20% interest in the joint venture for (1) a 100% ownership interest in Franklin Village, located in Franklin, Massachusetts, at an agreed-upon value of approximately $75.1 million, including the assumption of related in place mortgage financing of $43.1 million, and (2) approximately $40.0 million in cash, which was used to reduce the outstanding balance under the Company’s Credit Facility. The Company will continue to manage the properties acquired by RioCan subject to a management agreement which will terminate effective January 31, 2013.

The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Company’s 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. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of “necessities-based” properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.

Total									$	23,538,000

On October 12, 2012, the Company concluded definitive agreements with HII relating to the application of the buy/sell provisions of the joint venture agreements for each of the nine properties owned by the joint venture. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company acquired HII’s 80% ownership in Meadows Marketplace, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Fieldstone Marketplace, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, for approximately $27.3 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $21.8 million, giving the Company a 100% ownership interest in these two properties. In addition, the Company sold to HII its 20% ownership interest in the remaining seven joint venture properties for approximately $23.6 million, including the assumption of related in-place mortgage financing of $14.5 million. The Company’s property management agreements for these sold properties terminated upon the closing of the sale.

New Credit Facility

On January 26, 2012, the Company entered into a $300 million secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility amends, restates and consolidates the Company’s prior $185 million stabilized property revolving credit facility and its $150 million development property credit facility that were due to expire on January 31, 2012 and June 13, 2012, respectively. See “Liquidity” below for additional details.

Properties held in both periods. The Company held 67 properties (excluding properties “held for sale/conveyance”) during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Revenues were higher primarily as a result of increases in (i) rental revenues and expense recoveries at ground-up development properties ($0.5 million) and (ii) other income ($0.2 million), offset by a decrease in expense recoveries at the Company’s other operating properties ($0.3 million), due to lower property operating expenses discussed below.

Property operating expenses were lower primarily as a result of decreases in payroll and related benefits and costs ($1.1 million), offset by an increase in real estate taxes ($0.3 million).

General and administrative expenses were higher primarily as a result of increases in payroll and related benefits and costs.

Impairment charges in 2011 relate principally to land parcels treated as “held for sale/conveyance” as part of the Company’s 2011 business plan, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were lower primarily as a result of the completion of scheduled amortization of lease intangibles.

Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of (i) lower amortization of deferred financing costs related to the new credit facility entered into during the first quarter of 2012 ($0.7 million), (ii) a decrease in the overall outstanding principal balance of debt ($0.7 million), and (iii) a decrease in the overall weighted average interest rate ($0.1 million), offset by a decrease in capitalized interest ($0.6 million).

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was higher in 2012 as a result of an increase in operating results from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture.

Discontinued operations for 2012 and 2011 include the results of operations, impairment reversals/charges and gain on sales for properties sold or treated as “held for sale/conveyance”, as part of the Company’s 2011 business plan, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report.

Properties held in both periods. The Company held 67 properties (excluding properties “held for sale/conveyance”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Revenues were higher primarily as a result of increases in (i) lease termination income ($3.0 million), (ii) rental revenues and expense recoveries at ground-up development properties ($1.5 million), (iii) rental revenues at the Company’s other operating properties ($0.6 million), and (iv) rental revenues and expense recoveries at a property acquired during the first quarter of 2011 ($0.6 million), offset by a decrease in expense recoveries at the Company’s other operating properties, due primarily to a decrease in property operating expenses ($1.2 million).

Property operating expenses were lower primarily as a result of decreases in (i) snow removal costs ($2.0 million) and (ii) payroll and related benefits and costs ($1.9 million), offset by an increase in real estate taxes ($0.7 million).

General and administrative expenses were higher primarily as a result of increases in payroll and related benefits costs ($2.4 million). In addition, the 2011 period reflected a mark-to-market benefit related to share-based compensation ($0.7 million).

Management transition charges and employee termination costs in 2012 reflect separation arrangements and terminations of employment agreements relating primarily to employee headcount reductions instituted in connection with recent property dispositions and the exit from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture. Such costs consist of severance and benefits ($0.6 million), accelerated vesting of share-based compensation grants ($0.4 million), and other costs ($0.1 million). Management transition charges and employee termination costs in 2011 relate to the retirement of the Company’s then Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and the end of the employment of the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer, and include (i) an aggregate of approximately $3.7 million in cash severance payments (including the cost of related payroll taxes and benefits), (ii) the write off of all amounts related to the vesting of restricted share grants (an aggregate of approximately $2.0 million), and (iii) approximately $0.8 million of other non-recurring costs, primarily professional fees and expenses related to the hiring of a new President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Impairment charges in 2011 relate principally to land parcels treated as “held for sale/conveyance”, as part of the Company’s 2011 business plan, as more fully discussed elsewhere in this report.

Acquisition transaction costs and terminated projects in 2011 include (i) costs incurred related to a property acquisition ($0.7 million), and (ii) termination of several redevelopment projects that the Company determined would not go forward ($0.4 million).

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased principally by the lease up of a vacant space at a property which required the demolition of an existing building and the related acceleration of depreciation expense.

Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of (i) lower amortization of deferred financing costs related to the new credit facility entered into during the first quarter of 2012 ($1.6 million), (ii) a decrease in the overall outstanding principal balance of debt ($0.6 million), and (ii) a decrease in the overall weighted average interest rate ($0.4 million), offset by a decrease in capitalized interest ($1.0 million).

Accelerated write-off of deferred financing costs in 2012 relates to the write-off of unamortized fees associated with the Company’s terminated stabilized property and development property credit facilities.

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was higher in 2012 as a result of an increase in operating results in 2012 from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($0.8 million), and lost revenues from the tenant at its then redevelopment joint venture in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania vacating the premises in April 2011 ($0.3 million).

Write-off of investment in unconsolidated joint venture in 2011 relates to the Company’s decision not to go forward with the development of two adjacent properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The impairment loss for the wholly-owned property is included in loss from discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, preferred and common dividend distributions and distributions to minority interest partners, if made, primarily from its operations. The Company may also use its revolving credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to fund long-term liquidity requirements for property acquisitions, redevelopment costs, remaining development costs, capital improvements, joint venture contributions, and maturing debt initially with its credit facility, 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 interests therein (including joint venture arrangements). Although the Company believes it has access to secured financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the availability of mortgage financing on completed development projects, additional construction financing, net proceeds from the contribution of properties to joint ventures, or proceeds from the refinancing of existing debt.

Debt is comprised of the following at September 30, 2012:


			Interest rates
	Balance		Weighted -
Description	outstanding		average			Range
Fixed-rate mortgages	$	496,927,000		5.8	%	5.0% - 7.5%
Variable-rate mortgage		63,106,000		3.0	%

Total property-specific mortgages		560,033,000		5.5	%
Corporate credit facilities:
Revolving facility		18,000,000		3.0	%
Term loan		75,000,000		3.0	%

	$	653,033,000		5.1	%

As noted above, on January 26, 2012, the Company entered into a new $300 million Credit Facility, comprised of a four-year $75 million term loan and a three-year $225 million revolving credit facility, subject to collateral in place. Subject to customary conditions, the term loan and the revolving credit facility may both be extended for one additional year at the Company’s option. Under an accordion feature, the Credit Facility can be increased to $500 million, subject to customary conditions, collateral in place and lending commitments from participating banks. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, minimum interest coverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the Credit Facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Credit Facility is available to fund acquisitions, redevelopment and remaining development activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 275 bps (a weighted-average of 3.0% per annum at September 30, 2012) and can range from LIBOR plus 200 to 300 bps based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has $18.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the Credit Facility, and had $164.9 million available for additional borrowings as of the date. A significant portion of the revolving credit availability is the result of the application of net cash proceeds from the sale of 4.8 million shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock during September. In October 2012, the Company redeemed 4.5 million shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for a total cash outlay of $114.1 million which was drawn on its Credit Facility.

Property-specific mortgage loans payable at September 30, 2012 consisted of fixed-rate notes totaling $496.9 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%, and a LIBOR-based variable-rate note totaling $63.1 million, with an effective interest rate of 3.0% per annum at that date. For the remainder of 2012, the Company has approximately $2.3 million of scheduled debt principal amortization payments and $10.7 million of scheduled balloon payments.

Total mortgage loans payable and secured credit facilities have an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.1% and mature at various dates through 2029. The terms of several of the Company’s 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 reserves have been established, and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.

In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company paid dividends totaling $0.36 per share during 2011. However, in keeping with its stated goal of reducing overall leverage, and in order to improve financial flexibility, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to reduce the quarterly dividend for 2012 to a target rate of $0.05 per share (an annual rate of $0.20 per share). While the Company intends to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Net Cash Flows


	September 30,
	2012			2011
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	36,784,000		$	21,367,000
Investing activities	$	2,088,000		$	(67,072,000	)
Financing activities	$	(43,526,000	)	$	43,181,000

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, increased to $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Such amounts include $3.0 million of lease termination income received in 2012 and expenditures of $4.4 million for management transition charges and employee termination costs in 2011. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities ($(3.2) million in 2012 and $(12.8) million in 2011) were primarily the result of collections of receivables and the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were primarily the result of the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, expenditures for property improvements, and the Company’s property disposition activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received proceeds from sales of properties treated as discontinued operations ($18.8 million), had distributions of capital from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($2.9 million), and applied the proceeds from other escrows ($2.6 million), offset by expenditures for property improvements ($22.2 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company acquired a grocery-anchored shopping center and incurred expenditures for property improvements (an aggregate of $76.1 million), had an increase in construction escrows and other ($7.3 million), had investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures ($4.2 million), offset by proceeds from sales of properties treated as discontinued operations ($11.7 million), net proceeds relating to the properties transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($4.8 million), and distributions of capital from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($4.0 million).

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had net repayments under its credit facilities ($73.3 million), repayments of mortgage obligations ($53.3 million), preferred and common stock distributions ($20.9 million), redemptions and repurchases of the 8.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ($12.1 million), the payment of debt financing costs ($4.4 million), and distributions to noncontrolling interests (minority interest and limited partners—$3.7 million), offset by proceeds from the sale of the 7.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ($124.4 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received proceeds from mortgage refinancings ($45.8 million), received net advances from its revolving credit facilities ($33.7 million), and proceeds from the sale of common stock ($4.3 million), offset by preferred and common stock distributions ($29.1 million), repayment of mortgage obligations ($9.3 million), and distributions to noncontrolling interests (minority interest and limited partners—$2.2 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 a REIT’s operating performance. The Company considers FFO 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.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with the “White Paper” 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 impairment charges, 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. The following table sets forth the Company’s calculations of FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

One of the principal market risks facing the Company is interest rate risk on its credit facilities. The Company may, when advantageous, hedge its interest rate risk by using derivative financial instruments. The Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.

The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (i) the variable-rate credit facilities used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and ground-up development/redevelopment activities, and expand its real estate investment portfolio, (ii) property-specific variable-rate construction financing, and (iii) other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. The Company’s 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, etc., 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 September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $31.6 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps which converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates ranging from 5.2% to 6.5% per annum. At that date, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.8 million (included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of interest rate swaps applicable to these mortgage loans payable.

At September 30, 2012, long-term debt consisted of fixed-rate mortgage loans payable and variable-rate debt (including the Company’s variable-rate credit facility). The average interest rate on the $496.9 million of fixed-rate indebtedness outstanding was 5.8%, with maturities at various dates through 2029. The average interest rate on the $156.1 million of variable-rate debt (including $93.0 million in advances under the Company’s Credit Facility) was 3.0%. The $75 million term loan segment of the new facility matures in January 2016, and the $18.0 million revolving credit segment matures in January 2015, each subject to a one-year extension option. With respect to the $156.1 million of variable-rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2012, if interest rates either increase or decrease by 1%, the Company’s interest cost would increase or decrease respectively by approximately $1.6 million 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 rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In this regard, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee currently comprised of several of the Company’s 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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their certifications contained in the Company’s SEC filings. The Committee meets regularly and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more frequent basis. The Company’s principal executive and financial officers have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012, and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 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, these internal controls over financial reporting.
