NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note
1. Interim
Financial Statements
The
condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are
unaudited; however, amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2007 are derived from our audited financial statements
at that date. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such
adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted
by Form 10-Q and certain information included in our annual financial statements
and notes has been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Business
Weingarten
Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized under the
Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act. We, and our predecessor
entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other
commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space
to tenants in the shopping and industrial centers we own or lease. We
also manage centers for joint ventures in which we are partners or for other
outside owners for which we charge fees.
We
operate a portfolio of properties that include neighborhood and community
shopping centers and industrial properties of approximately 73.5 million square
feet. We have a diversified tenant base with our largest tenant
comprising only 2.7% of total rental revenues during 2008.
We
currently operate, and intend to operate in the future, as a REIT.
Basis
of Presentation
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our
subsidiaries and certain partially owned real estate joint ventures or
partnerships which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Such statements require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on
our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Real
Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To
determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint
ventures and partnerships, we first apply the guidelines set forth in Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities.” In March 2008, we contributed 18
neighborhood/community shopping centers located in Texas with an aggregate value
of approximately $227.5 million, and aggregating more than 2.1 million square
feet, to a joint venture. We sold an 85% interest in this joint
venture to AEW Capital Management on behalf of one of its institutional clients
and received proceeds of approximately $216.1 million. Financing
totaling $154.3 million was placed on the properties and guaranteed by
us. This venture is a variable interest entity and due to our
guarantee of the debt, we have consolidated this joint venture. Our
maximum exposure to loss associated with this joint venture is primarily limited
to our guarantee of the debt, which was approximately $154.3 million at June 30,
2008.
Partially
owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we exercise
financial and operating control are consolidated in our financial
statements. In determining if we exercise financial and operating
control, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make
decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating
rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships
where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise
financial and operating control, are accounted for using the equity
method.
Our
investments in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships are
reviewed for impairment, periodically, if events or circumstances change
indicating that the carrying amount of our investments may not be
recoverable. The ultimate realization of our investments in partially
owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is dependent on a number of
factors, including the performance of each investment and market
conditions. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that
a decline in the value of an investment is other than temporary. No
impairment was recorded for both the quarter and the six months ended June 30,
2008 or 2007. However, due to the current credit and real estate
market conditions, there is no certainty that an impairment would not occur in
the future.
Restricted
Deposits and Mortgage Escrows
Restricted
deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders
primarily for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves and restricted
cash that is held in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing
like-kind exchange transactions. At June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, we had $18.2 million and $21.3 million held for like-kind exchange
transactions, respectively, and $15.8 million and $17.6 million held in escrow
related to our mortgages, respectively.

Options
to purchase 2.1 million and .5 million common shares of beneficial interest for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included
in the calculation of net income per common share - diluted because the exercise
prices were greater than the average market price for the
period. Options to purchase 2.1 million and 3,220 common shares of
beneficial interest for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, were not included in the calculation of net income per common
share - diluted because the exercise prices were greater than the average market
price for the period.
Cash
Flow Information
All
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are
considered cash equivalents. We issued common shares of beneficial
interest valued at $.3 million and $12.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, in exchange for interests in real estate joint
ventures and partnerships, which had been formed to acquire
properties. We also accrued $21.7 million and $7.9 million as of June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, associated with the construction of
property. Cash payments for interest on debt, net of amounts
capitalized, of $77.6 million and $75.1 million were made during the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A cash payment of $4.5
million for income taxes was made during the six months ended June 30, 2008, and
no income tax payments were made during the six months ended June 30,
2007.

In
connection with the sale of improved properties, we received notes receivable
totaling $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Net
assets and liabilities were reduced by $59.8 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 from the reorganization of three joint ventures, two of which were
previously consolidated, to tenancy-in-common arrangements where we have a 50%
interest. This net reduction from the reorganization of three joint
ventures was offset by the assumption of debt totaling $33.2 million. In
conjunction with the disposition of properties completed for the six months
ended June 30, 2007, we defeased two mortgage loans totaling $21.2 million and
transferred marketable securities totaling $21.5 million in connection with the
legal defeasance of these two loans.
Reclassifications
The
reclassification of prior years’ operating results for certain properties to
discontinued operations was made to conform to the current year
presentation. This reclassification had no impact on previously
reported net income, net income per share, shareholders’ equity or cash
flows.
Note
2. Newly
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value
Measurements.” This statement defines fair value and establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The key
changes to current practice are (1) the definition of fair value, which focuses
on an exit price rather than an entry price; (2) the methods used to measure
fair value, such as emphasis that fair value is a market-based measurement, not
an entity-specific measurement, as well as the inclusion of an adjustment for
risk, restrictions and credit standing and (3) the expanded disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair
value measurements.
We
adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008 regarding our financial assets and
liabilities currently recorded or disclosed at fair value. The FASB
has issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157,” to defer the provisions of SFAS 157 relating to nonfinancial assets
and liabilities that delays implementation by us until January 1,
2009. SFAS 157 has not and is not expected to materially affect how
we determine fair value, but it has resulted in certain additional disclosures
(see Note 15).
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 (“SFAS 158”), “Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An
Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R.” This new
standard requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial
position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s
underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that
determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with
limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined
benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes
occur. These changes will be reported in comprehensive
income. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit
obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of
financial position (the “Measurement Provision”) is effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2008. We have assessed the potential impact
of the Measurement Provision of SFAS 158 and concluded that its adoption will
not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 expands
opportunities to use fair value measurement in financial reporting and permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. This statement was effective for us on January 1,
2008, and we have elected not to measure any of our current eligible financial
assets or liabilities at fair value upon adoption; however, we do have the
option to elect to measure eligible financial assets or liabilities acquired in
the future at fair value.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141R”),
“Business
Combinations.” SFAS 141R expands the original guidance’s definition
of a business. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition
to all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and interests transferred as a
result of business combinations. SFAS 141R requires expanded
disclosures to improve the ability to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for us for business
combinations made on or after January 1, 2009. While we have not
formally quantified the effect, we expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a
material effect on our accounting for future acquisition of properties, which
may fall under the definition of a business.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (“SFAS 160”), “Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No.
51.” SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in an
unconsolidated entity be reported as equity and any losses in excess of an
unconsolidated entity’s equity interest be recorded to the noncontrolling
interest. The statement requires fair value measurement of any
noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS
160 is effective for us on January 1, 2009 and most provisions will be applied
retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will
have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133.” SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s
derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for us on
January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS 161 will
have to the disclosures included in our consolidated financial
statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3 (“FSP FAS 142-3”),
“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP FAS
142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal and
extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of assets considered in a business combination. FSP FAS 142-3
is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating
the impact FSP FAS 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1 (“FSP APB 14-1”),
“Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon
Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” FSP APB 14-1 will
require that the initial debt proceeds from the sale of our convertible and
exchangeable senior debentures be allocated between a liability component and an
equity component in a manner that will reflect our effective nonconvertible
borrowing rate. The resulting debt discount would be amortized using
the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to be
outstanding as additional interest expense. FSP APB 14-1 is effective
for us on January 1, 2009 and requires retroactive application. Upon
the adoption of FSP APB 14-1, we estimate the unamortized debt discount (as of
June 30, 2008) to be approximately $28.9 million to be included as a reduction
of debt and approximately $43.5 million as accumulated additional paid-in
capital on our consolidated balance sheet. We estimate incremental
interest expense to be approximately $4.1 million for the first six months of
2008 and $7.9 million and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Note
3. Derivatives
and Hedging
We
occasionally hedge the future cash flows of our debt transactions, as well as
changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, principally through interest
rate swaps with major financial institutions. At June 30, 2008,
we had two interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges with an
aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million that convert fixed interest payments
at rates of 4.2% to variable interest payments. We have determined
that they are highly effective in limiting our risk of changes in the fair value
of fixed-rate notes attributable to changes in market interest
rates.
At
December 31, 2007, we had two forward-starting interest rate swap contracts with
an aggregate notional amount of $118.6 million, which were designated as cash
flow hedges to mitigate the risk of future fluctuations in interest rates on
forecasted issuances of long-term debt.
On March
20, 2008, the cash flow hedge was completed through the issuance of $154.3
million of fixed-rate long-term debt issued by a joint venture that is
consolidated by us. A loss of $12.8 million was recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the fair value of the interest
rate swap contracts on that date. On March 27, 2008, the interest
rate swap contracts were settled resulting in a loss of $10.0
million. For the period between the completion of the cash flow hedge
and the settlement of the swap contracts, a gain of $2.8 million was recognized
as a reduction of interest expense.
Changes
in the fair value of fair value hedges, as well as changes in the fair value of
the hedged item attributable to the hedge risk, are recorded in earnings each
reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, these changes in fair value were offset through
earnings. The derivative instruments at June 30, 2008 were reported
at their fair values in other liabilities, net of accrued interest, of $.4
million, and we had no derivative instruments reported in other
assets. At December 31, 2007, derivative instruments were reported at
their fair values in other liabilities, net of accrued interest, of $5.8
million, and we had no derivative instruments reported in other
assets.
As of
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the balance in accumulated other
comprehensive loss relating to derivatives was $18.1 million and $11.8 million,
respectively. Amounts amortized to interest expense were $.6 million
and $.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and $.9 million and $.4 million during the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Within the next 12 months,
approximately $2.6 million of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive
loss is expected to be amortized to interest expense.
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the interest rate swaps decreased
interest expense and increased net income by $.2 million and $.4 million,
respectively, and decreased the average interest rate of our debt by .02% for
both periods. The interest rate swaps increased interest expense and
decreased net income by $.1 million and $.3 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and increased the average interest rate of
our debt by .02% for both periods. We could be exposed to losses in
the event of nonperformance by the counter-parties; however, management believes
the likelihood of such nonperformance is unlikely.

We have a
$575 million unsecured revolving credit facility held by a syndicate of banks
that expires in February 2010 and provides a one-year extension option available
at our request. Borrowing rates under this facility float at a margin
over LIBOR, plus a facility fee. The borrowing margin and facility
fee, which are currently 42.5 and 15.0 basis points, respectively, are priced
off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings. This
facility retains a competitive bid feature that allows us to request bids for
amounts up to $287.5 million from each of the syndicate banks, allowing us an
opportunity to obtain pricing below what we would pay using the pricing
grid.
At June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the balance outstanding under the revolving
credit facility was $303.0 million at a variable interest rate of 3.1% and
$255.0 million at a variable interest rate of 5.4%, respectively. We
also have an agreement for a $30 million unsecured and uncommitted overnight
facility with a bank that we use for cash management purposes, of which $2.7
million was outstanding at a variable interest rate of 3.2% at June 30, 2008,
and no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2007. Letters of
credit totaling $10.2 million and $9.2 million were outstanding under the
revolving credit facility at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. The available balance under our revolving credit
agreement was $259.0 million and $310.8 million at June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008,
the maximum balance and weighted average balance outstanding under both
facilities combined were $470.9 million and $318.0 million, respectively, at a
weighted average interest rate of 4.0%. During 2007, the maximum
balance and weighted average balance outstanding under both facilities combined
were $312.4 million and $96.7 million, respectively, at a weighted average
interest rate of 6.1%.
In March
2008, we contributed assets to a joint venture with an institutional
investor. In conjunction with this transaction, the joint venture
issued $154.3 million of fixed-rate long-term debt with an average life of 7.3
years at an average rate of 5.4% that we guaranteed. We received all
of the proceeds from the issuance of this debt and such proceeds were used to
reduce amounts outstanding under our $575 million revolving credit
facility.
In
January 2008, we elected to repay at par a fixed-rate 8.33% mortgage totaling
$121.8 million that was secured by 19 supermarket-anchored shopping centers in
California originally acquired in April 2001.
As of
December 31, 2007, the balance of secured debt that was assumed in conjunction
with 2007 acquisitions was $99.4 million. A capital lease obligation
totaling $12.9 million was assumed and subsequently settled in
2007.
Various
leases and properties, and current and future rentals from those lease and
properties, collateralize certain debt. At June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, the carrying value of such property aggregated $1.7 billion and $1.9
billion, respectively.
Scheduled
principal payments on our debt (excluding $305.7 million due under our revolving
credit agreements, $21.0 million of certain capital leases, ($.4) million fair
value of interest rate swaps and $26.4 million of non-cash debt-related items)

Our
various debt agreements contain restrictive covenants, including minimum
interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, minimum unencumbered interest
coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements and maximum total debt
levels. We believe we were in compliance with all restrictive
covenants as of June 30, 2008.
In July
2006, we priced an offering of $575 million of 3.95% convertible senior
unsecured notes due 2026, which closed on August 2, 2006. Interest is
payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year,
beginning February 1, 2007. The debentures are convertible under
certain circumstances for our common shares of beneficial interest at an initial
conversion rate of 20.3770 common shares of beneficial interest per $1,000 of
principal amount of debentures (an initial conversion price of
$49.075). In addition, the conversion rate may be adjusted if certain
change in control transactions or other specified events occur on or prior to
August 4, 2011. Upon the conversion of debentures, we will deliver
cash for the principal return, as defined, and cash or common shares of
beneficial interest, at our option, for the excess of the conversion value, as
defined, over the principal return. The debentures are redeemable for
cash at our option beginning in 2011 for the principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest. Holders of the debentures have the right to require
us to repurchase their debentures for cash equal to the principal of the
debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest in 2011, 2016 and 2021 and in the
event of a change in control.
In
connection with the issuance of these debentures, we filed a registration
statement related to the resale of the debentures and the common shares of
beneficial interest issuable upon the conversion of the
debentures. This registration statement has been declared effective
by the SEC.
Note
5. Preferred
Shares
We issued
$150 million and $200 million of depositary shares on June 6, 2008 and January
30, 2007, respectively. Each depositary share represents
one-hundredth of a Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Share. The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, on
or after January 30, 2012 at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per
depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The
depositary shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any of our other
property or securities. The Series F Preferred Shares pay a 6.5%
annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per
share. Series F Preferred Shares issued in June 2008 were issued at a
discount, resulting in an effective rate of 8.25%. Net proceeds of
$118.1 million and $194.0 million in June 2008 and January 2007, respectively,
were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities and
for general business purposes. Subsequent to the 2008 issuance, our
revolving credit facilities were used to finance the partial redemption of the
Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares as described below.
On
September 25, 2007, we issued $200 million of depositary shares in a private
placement, and the net proceeds of $193.6 million were used to repay amounts
outstanding under our credit facilities. Each depositary share
represents one-hundredth of a Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Share. The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part at
our option, at a redemption price of $25 multiplied by a graded rate per
depositary share based on the date of redemption plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not convertible or
exchangeable for any of our other property or securities. The Series
G Preferred Shares pay a variable-rate quarterly dividend through September 2008
and then a variable-rate monthly dividend and have a liquidation preference of
$2,500 per share. The variable-rate dividend is calculated on the
period’s three-month LIBOR rate plus a percentage determined by the number of
days outstanding. Further, the rate may vary if any of our
outstanding preferred shares are downgraded. The variable-rate
dividend is not to exceed 20%. At June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, the variable-rate dividend was 3.8% and 5.9%, respectively. On
June 20, 2008, we redeemed $120 million of the Series G Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares. Upon the redemption of these shares, the related
original issuance costs of $1.0 million were reported as a deduction in arriving
at net income available to common shareholders.
Subsequent
to June 30, 2008, we redeemed the remaining $80 million of the Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. This redemption was financed
through our revolving credit facilities, and the related original issuance costs
of $.9 million will be a reduction to net income available to common
shareholders.
In July
2004, we issued $72.5 million of depositary shares with each share representing
one-hundredth of a Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Share. The depositary shares are redeemable at our option, in whole
or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share, plus any
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not
convertible or exchangeable for any of our other property or
securities. The Series E preferred shares pay a 6.95% annual dividend
and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per share.
In April
2003, $75 million of depositary shares were issued with each share representing
one-thirtieth of a Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Share. The depositary shares are redeemable at our option, in whole
or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share, plus any
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not
convertible or exchangeable for any of our property or
securities. The Series D preferred shares pay a 6.75% annual dividend
and have a liquidation value of $750 per share.
Note
6. Common
Shares of Beneficial Interest
In July
2007, our Board of Trust Managers authorized a common share repurchase program
as part of our ongoing investment strategy. Under the terms of the
program, we may purchase up to a maximum value of $300 million of our common
shares of beneficial interest during the next two years. Share
repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions at the discretion of management and as market conditions
warrant. We anticipate funding the repurchase of shares primarily
through the proceeds received from our property disposition program, as well as
from general corporate funds.
During
2007, we repurchased 2.8 million common shares of beneficial interest at an
average share price of $37.12 and cancelled 1.4 million common shares of
beneficial interest in both 2008 and 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the
remaining value of common shares of beneficial interest available to be
repurchased is $196.7 million.
Note
7. Treasury
Shares of Beneficial Interest
At
December 31, 2007, a total of 1.4 million common shares of beneficial interest
were repurchased by us at an average share price of
$36.47. These shares were subsequently retired on January 11,
2008.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, we invested $94.9 million in new development
projects. During 2008, we commenced three new development projects,
of which two are located in Texas and one in Florida. Of these, one
property is held in a 70%-owned consolidated real estate joint
venture. We also disposed of six shopping centers, one industrial
property and 12 land parcels.
Note
9. Discontinued
Operations
During
the first six months of 2008, one industrial center located in Texas and
six shopping centers, four of which were located in Texas and one each in
California and Louisiana, were sold. We classified a property in
Louisiana, totaling $.4 million, as held for sale as of June 30,
2008. During 2007, we sold one industrial center located in Texas and
17 shopping centers, nine of which were located in Texas, three in
Louisiana, two each in Colorado and Illinois, and one in Georgia. The
operating results of these properties have been reclassified and reported as
discontinued operations in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income
and Comprehensive Income in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," as well as any gains on the
respective dispositions for all periods presented. Revenues recorded
in operating income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, totaled $1.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and
$4.6 million and $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at
December 31, 2007 were $82.8 million of property and $32.9 million of
accumulated depreciation related to the property sold during the six months
ended June 30, 2008.
The
discontinued operations reported for the first six months of 2008 had no debt
that was required to be repaid upon their disposition.
During
the first half of 2007, we incurred a net loss of $.4 million on the defeasance
of two loans totaling $21.2 million that were required to be settled upon their
disposition. These defeasance costs were recognized as interest
expense and have been reclassified and reported as discontinued
operations.
We
elected not to allocate other consolidated interest expense to discontinued
operations because the interest savings to be realized from the proceeds of the
sale of these operations was not material.
Note
10. Notes Receivable
from Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
We have
ownership interests in a number of real estate joint ventures and
partnerships. Notes receivable from these entities bear interest
ranging from 4.5% to 10.0% at June 30, 2008 and 5.7% to 10.0% at December 31,
2007. These notes are due at various dates through 2028 and are
generally secured by real estate assets. Interest income recognized
on these notes was $.8 million and $.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.7 million and $.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Note
11. Investment in
Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
We own
interests in real estate joint ventures or limited partnerships and have
tenancy-in-common interests in which we exercise significant influence, but do
not have financial and operating control. We account for these
investments using the equity method, and our interests range from 7.8% to
75%. Combined condensed financial information of these ventures (at
100%) is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Our
investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, as reported on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, differs from our proportionate share of
the entities' underlying net assets due to basis differentials, which arose upon
the transfer of assets to the joint ventures. The basis
differentials, which totaled $15.5 million and $15.8 million at June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007, respectively, are generally amortized over the useful
lives of the related assets.
Fees
earned by us for the management of these real estate joint ventures and
partnerships totaled, in millions, $1.6 and $1.1 for the quarters ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $3.0 and $2.1 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
During
the first six months of 2008, a 25%-owned unconsolidated real estate joint
venture acquired a 4,000 square foot building located in Port Charlotte,
Florida. A 50%-owned unconsolidated real estate joint venture was
formed for the purposes of developing an industrial building in Houston, Texas,
while a 32%-owned unconsolidated real estate joint venture commenced
construction of a retail property in Salt Lake City, Utah.
During
the first six months of 2007, a 25%-owned unconsolidated real estate joint
venture acquired two shopping centers. Cole Park Plaza is
located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Sunrise West is located in Sunrise,
Florida. A 50%-owned unconsolidated real estate joint venture was
formed for the purpose of developing a retail shopping center. A
20%-owned unconsolidated joint venture acquired seven industrial
properties. One each in Ashland and Chester, Virginia, two in
Colonial Heights, Virginia, and three in Richmond, Virginia.
In March
2007, three joint ventures, two of which were previously consolidated, were
reorganized and our 50% interest in each of these properties is now held in a
tenancy-in-common arrangement.
Note
12. Federal Income
Tax Considerations
We
qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and
therefore, no tax is imposed on us for our taxable income distributed to
shareholders. To maintain our REIT status, we must distribute at
least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain
income source and investment restriction requirements. Our
shareholders must report their share of income distributed in the form of
dividends.
Our
taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal, state and local income
taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we
have recorded a federal income tax provision of $.6 million in both
periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we have
recorded a federal income tax provision of $.8 million and $.1 million,
respectively. Our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007 were $.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, with the deferred tax
liabilities totaling $1.6 million and $1.4 million,
respectively. Also, an accrued tax payable of $.3 million and
$2.3 million has been recorded at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively, in association with this tax.
We have
reviewed our tax positions under FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN
48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax
return. A tax position may only be recognized in the financial
statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained
upon examination. We believe it is more likely than not that our tax
positions will be sustained in any tax examinations.
In May
2006, the State of Texas enacted a new business tax (the “Revised Texas
Franchise Tax”) that replaces its existing franchise tax. In general,
legal entities that do business in Texas are subject to the Revised Texas
Franchise Tax. Most REITs are subject to the Revised Texas Franchise
Tax, whereas they were previously exempt. The Revised Texas Franchise
Tax became effective for franchise tax reports due on or after January 1, 2008
and is based on revenues earned during the 2007 fiscal year.
Because
the Revised Texas Franchise Tax is determined by applying a tax rate to a base
that considers both revenues and expenses, it is considered an income tax and is
accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes.”
During
the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded a provision for the
Revised Texas Franchise Tax of $.9 million and $.4 million,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we
have recorded a provision for the Revised Texas Franchise Tax of $1.5 million
and $.9 million, respectively. The deferred tax
assets associated with this tax each totaled $.1 million as of June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007 and the deferred tax liability associated with this
tax totaled $.2 million and $.1 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007. Also, an accrued tax payable of $1.3 million and $2.0 million
has been recorded at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, in
association with this tax.
Note
13. Commitments and
Contingencies
We
participate in six ventures, structured as DownREIT partnerships, which have
properties in Arkansas, California, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and
Utah. As a general partner, we have operating and financial control
over these ventures and consolidate their operations in our condensed
consolidated financial statements. These ventures allow the outside
limited partners to put their interest to the partnership for our common shares
of beneficial interest or an equivalent amount in cash. We may
acquire any limited partnership interests that are put to the partnership, and
we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our
common shares of beneficial interest, at our discretion. We also
participate in two real estate ventures that have properties in Florida and
Texas that allow their outside partners to put their interest to operating
partnership units to us for our common shares of beneficial interest or an
equivalent amount in cash. We have the option to redeem these units
in cash or a fixed number of our common shares of beneficial interest, at our
discretion. During the first six months of 2008 and 2007, we issued
common shares of beneficial interest valued at $.3 million and $12.6 million,
respectively, in exchange for certain of these limited partnership interests or
operating partnership units. The aggregate redemption value of these
operating partnership units was approximately $72 million and $76 million as of
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
In April
2007, we acquired an industrial building located in
Virginia. This purchase transaction includes an earnout
provision of approximately $6 million that is contingent upon the lease up of
vacant space by the property seller. This contingency agreement
expires in 2009. We have an estimated obligation of $4.1 million and
$5.6 million recorded as of June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007. Since inception of this obligation, $1.5 million has been
paid. Amounts paid or accrued under such earnouts are treated as
additional purchase price and capitalized to the related property.
In
January 2007, we acquired two retail properties in Arizona. This
purchase transaction includes an earnout provision of approximately $29 million
that is contingent upon the subsequent development of space by the property
seller. This contingency agreement expires in 2010. We
have an estimated obligation of $4.2 million recorded as of both June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007. Since inception of this obligation, $5.2
million has been paid. Amounts paid or accrued under such earnouts
are treated as additional purchase price and capitalized to the related
property.
In August
2006, we acquired a portfolio of five properties, including four properties in
Georgia and one in Florida. The purchase agreement allows for the
subsequent development and leasing of an additional phase of Brookwood
Marketplace by the property seller. If the terms of the purchase
agreement are met by the seller, the purchase price would be increased by
approximately $6.9 million. This agreement expires in August
2008. We have no recorded obligation for this contingency as of both June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
We are
subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are
not aware of any material contamination, which may have been caused by us or any
of our tenants that would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated
financial statements.
As part
of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into
state-sponsored environmental programs which will limit our expenses if
contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental
insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation
costs.
While we
believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation
costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new
discoveries of contamination will not result in increased liabilities to
us.
Related
to our investment in a redevelopment project in Sheridan, Colorado that is held
in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, we, our joint venture partner
and the joint venture have each provided a guarantee for the payment of any
annual sinking fund requirement shortfalls on bonds issued in connection with
the project. The Sheridan Redevelopment Agency issued $97 million of
Series A bonds used for an urban renewal project. The bonds are to be
repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee
(“PIF”) to be assessed on future retail sales. The incremental taxes
and PIF are to remain intact until the bond liability has been paid in full,
including any amounts we may have to provide. We have evaluated and
determined that the fair value of the guarantee is nominal. However,
due to the guarantee, a liability has been recorded by the joint venture equal
to amounts funded under the bonds.
We are
involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of
business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the amounts
involved, our management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such
litigation is resolved, our resulting liability, if any, will not have a
material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

15. Fair Value
Measurements
On
January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157 for our financial assets and
liabilities.
SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies
to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value
under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not
require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.
SFAS 157
emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined
based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset
or liability. As a basis for considering market participant
assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on
market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity
(observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy)
and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions
(unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Level 1
inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may
include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as
well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted
prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly
quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the
asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as
there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where
the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to
the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers
factors specific to the asset or liability.
Investments
held in grantor trusts
These
assets are valued based on publicly quoted market prices.
Derivative
instruments
We use
interest rate swaps with major financial institutions
to manage our interest
rate
risk. The
valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation
techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of
each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the
derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based
inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The
fair values of our interest rate swaps have been determined using the market
standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or
payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or
receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an
expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable
market interest rate curves.
To comply
with the provisions of SFAS 157, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to
appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective
counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In
adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of
nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable
credit enhancements, such as collateral, thresholds and guarantees.
Although
we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives
fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation
adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as
estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by
itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2008, we have
assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on
the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the
credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our
derivatives. As a result, we have determined that the derivative
valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy.
Assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008,

16. Share Options and
Awards
In 1992,
we adopted the Employee Share Option Plan that grants 100 share options to every
employee, excluding officers, upon completion of each five-year interval of
service. This plan expires in 2012 and provides options for a maximum
of 225,000 common shares of beneficial interest, of which .2 million is
available for future grant of share options at June 30, 2008. Share
options granted under this plan are exercisable immediately.
In 1993,
we adopted the Incentive Share Option Plan that provided for the issuance of up
to 3.9 million common shares of beneficial interest, either in the form of
restricted share awards or share options. This plan expired in 2002,
but some share options issued under the plan remain outstanding as of June 30,
2008. The share options granted to non-officers vest over a
three-year period beginning after the grant date, and for officers vest over a
seven-year period beginning two years after the grant date.
In 2001,
we adopted the Long-term Incentive Plan for the issuance of share options and
share awards. In 2006, the maximum number of common shares of
beneficial interest issuable under this plan was increased to 4.8 million common
shares of beneficial interest, of which 1.7 million is available for the future
grant of share options or share awards at June 30, 2008. This plan
expires in 2011. The share options granted to non-officers vest over
a three-year period beginning after the grant date, and share options and
restricted share awards for officers vest over a five-year period after the
grant date. Restricted share awards granted to trust managers and
share options or share awards granted to retirement eligible employees are
expensed immediately.
The grant
price for the Employee Share Option Plan is equal to the closing price of our
common shares of beneficial interest on the date of grant. The grant
price of the Long-term Incentive Plan is calculated as an average of the high
and low of the quoted fair value of our common shares of beneficial interest on
the date of grant. In both plans, these share options expire upon
termination of employment or 10 years from the date of grant. In the
Long-term Incentive Plan, restricted share awards for officers and trust
managers are granted at no purchase price. Our policy is to recognize
compensation expense for equity awards ratably over the vesting period, except
for retirement eligible amounts. For the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, compensation expense, net of forfeitures, associated with share
options and restricted share awards totaled $1.7 million and $1.3 million, of
which $.4 million and $.3 million was capitalized, respectively. For
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, compensation expense, net of
forfeitures, associated with share options and restricted share awards totaled
$2.7 million and $2.6 million, of which $.7 million was capitalized for both
periods.
The fair
value of share options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing method based on the expected weighted average assumptions in the
following table. The dividend yield is an average of the historical
yields at each record date over the estimated expected life. We
estimate volatility using our historical volatility data for a period of 10
years, and the expected life is based on historical data from an option
valuation model of employee exercises and terminations. The risk-free
rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant. The fair value and weighted average assumptions are as
follows:

We
contributed $2.0 million to the qualified retirement plan for both the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For the supplemental retirement
plan, $1.2 million and $2.8 million was contributed for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Currently, we do not anticipate
making any additional contributions to either plan in 2008.
We have a
Savings and Investment Plan pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to
contribute from 1% of their salaries to the maximum amount established annually
by the Internal Revenue Service. We match employee contributions at
the rate of $.50 per $1.00 for the first 6% of the employee's
salary. The employees vest in the employer contributions ratably over
a six-year period. Compensation expense related to the plan was $.2
for both the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and $.5 million and $.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
We have
an Employee Share Purchase Plan under which .6 million of our common shares of
beneficial interest have been authorized. These shares, as well as
common shares of beneficial interest purchased by us on the open market, are
made available for sale to employees at a discount of 15% from the quoted market
price on the purchase date. Shares purchased by the employee under
the plan are restricted from being sold for two years from the date of purchase
or until termination of employment. During the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, a total of 20,961 and 13,868 common shares of beneficial
interest were purchased for the employees at a discounted average per share
price of $27.81 and $37.77, respectively.
We also
have a deferred compensation plan for eligible employees allowing them to defer
portions of their current cash salary or share-based
compensation. Deferred amounts are deposited in a grantor trust,
which are included in other assets, and are reported as compensation expense in
the year service is rendered. Cash deferrals are invested based on
the employee’s investment selections from a mix of assets based on a “Broad
Market Diversification” model. Deferred share-based compensation
cannot be diversified, and distributions from this plan are made in the same
form as the original deferral.
Note
18. Segment
Information
The
reportable segments presented are the segments for which separate financial
information is available, and for which operating performance is evaluated
regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. We evaluate the performance of the reportable
segments based on net operating income, defined as total revenues less operating
expenses and ad valorem taxes. Management does not consider the
effect of gains or losses from the sale of property in evaluating segment
operating performance.
The
shopping center segment is engaged in the acquisition, development and
management of real estate, primarily anchored neighborhood and community
shopping centers located in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah
and Washington. The customer base includes supermarkets, discount
retailers, drugstores and other retailers who generally sell basic
necessity-type commodities. The industrial segment is engaged in the
acquisition, development and management of bulk warehouses and office/service
centers. Its properties are located in California, Florida, Georgia,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, and the customer base is
diverse. Included in "Other" are corporate-related items,
insignificant operations and costs that are not allocated to the reportable
segments.

Operations
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information
publicly disseminated by us, contains certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We
intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of
complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future
plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the
words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or
similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking
statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially
affect actual results, performances or achievements. Factors which
may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include,
but are not limited to, (i) general economic and local real estate conditions,
(ii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations
due to bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in their business, (iii)
financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt, or other sources
of financing on favorable terms, (iv) changes in governmental laws and
regulations, (v) the level and volatility of interest rates, (vi) the
availability of suitable acquisition opportunities, (vii) changes in expected
development activity, (viii) increases in operating costs, (ix) tax matters,
including failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust, could have
adverse consequences and (x) investments through real estate joint ventures and
partnerships involve risks not present in investments in which we are the sole
investor. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations
will be realized.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the comparative summary
of selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this
report. Historical results and trends which might appear should not
be taken as indicative of future operations. Our results of
operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying financial
statements and related footnotes, are subject to management's evaluation and
interpretation of business conditions, retailer performance, changing capital
market conditions and other factors which could affect the ongoing viability of
our tenants.
Executive
Overview
Weingarten
Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized under the
Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act. We, and our predecessor
entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other
commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space
to tenants in the shopping and industrial centers we own or lease. We
also manage centers for real estate joint ventures in which we are partners or
for other outside owners for which we charge fees.
We
operate a portfolio of rental properties which includes neighborhood and
community shopping centers and industrial properties of approximately 73.5
million square feet. We have a diversified tenant base with our
largest tenant comprising only 2.7% of total rental revenues during
2008.
We focus
on increasing funds from operations (“FFO”) and growing dividend payments to our
common shareholders. We do this through hands-on leasing, management
and selected redevelopment of the existing portfolio of properties, through
disciplined growth from selective acquisitions and new developments, through
sale of properties in our merchant development program and through the
disposition of assets that no longer meet our ownership criteria. We
do this while remaining committed to maintaining a conservative balance sheet, a
well-staggered debt maturity schedule and strong credit agency
ratings.
We
continue to maintain a strong, conservative capital structure, which provides
ready access to a variety of attractive capital sources. We carefully
balance obtaining low cost financing with minimizing exposure to interest rate
movements and matching long-term liabilities with the long-term assets acquired
or developed. The turmoil in the current capital markets has
adversely affected both the pricing and the availability of certain financial
instruments. However, based on our business plan for the current
year, we believe that asset dispositions, joint venture relationships and
existing capital resources such as our revolving credit facilities will provide
adequate capital to execute our business plan.
At June
30, 2008, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or
through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of
379 developed income-producing properties and 35 properties under various stages
of construction and development. The total number of centers includes
334 neighborhood and community shopping centers located in 22 states spanning
the country from coast to coast. We also owned 77 industrial projects
located in California, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia and
three other operating properties located in Arizona and Texas.
We also
owned interests in 19 parcels of unimproved land held for future development
that totaled approximately 8.7 million square feet.
We had
approximately 7,500 leases with 5,400 different tenants at June 30,
2008.
Leases
for our properties range from less than a year for smaller spaces to over 25
years for larger tenants. Rental revenues generally include minimum
lease payments, which often increase over the lease term, reimbursements of
property operating expenses, including ad valorem taxes, and additional rent
payments based on a percentage of the tenants' sales. The majority of
our anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and
other retailers or service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type
goods and services. We believe stability of our anchor tenants,
combined with convenient locations, attractive and well-maintained properties,
high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix, should ensure the long-term
success of our merchants and the viability of our portfolio.
In
assessing the performance of our properties, management carefully tracks the
occupancy of the portfolio. A weakening economy contributed to a drop
in our occupancy from 95.3% at June 30, 2007 to 93.6% at June 30,
2008. While we will continue to monitor the economy and the effects
on our retailers, we believe the significant diversification of our portfolio
both geographically and by tenant base will allow us to maintain similar
occupancy levels as we move through the year. Another important
indicator of performance is the spread in rental rates on a same-space basis as
we complete new leases and renew existing leases. We completed 608
new leases or renewals during the first six months of 2008 totaling 3.3 million
square feet, increasing rental rates an average of 12.3% on a cash
basis.
New
Development
At June
30, 2008, we had 35 properties in various stages of development including
those in our merchant development program. We have invested $390 million
to date on these projects and, at completion, we estimate our total
investment to be $622 million. These properties are slated to open over
the next one to five years with a projected return on investment of
approximately 8.7% when completed. Also, two additional properties
have been stabilized during the first half of 2008 with an estimated total
investment of $55.6 million and a project return on investment of approximately
9.1%.
In
addition to these projects, we have a development pipeline with three
development sites under contract, which will represent a projected investment of
approximately $78.7 million. Due to current economic factors,
obtaining new projects this year may prove challenging as potential retail
anchors are delaying their expansion plans due to the softening of the economy.
We will continue to seek opportunities and monitor this market
closely.
Merchant
development is a program where we acquire or develop a project with the
objective of selling all or part of it, instead of retaining it in our portfolio
on a long-term basis. Also, disposition of land parcels are included
in this program. We generated gains of approximately $6.8 million
from this program during the first half of 2008. We expect this
number to grow throughout the year.
Acquisitions and Joint
Ventures
Acquisitions
are a key component of our strategy. However, the turmoil in the credit
markets has significantly reduced transactions in the marketplace and,
therefore, created uncertainty with respect to pricing. Partnering
with institutional investors through real estate joint ventures enables us to
acquire high quality assets in our target markets while also meeting our
financial return objectives. We benefit from access to lower-cost
capital, as well as leveraging our expertise to provide fee-based services, such
as asset management and the acquisition, leasing and management of properties,
to the joint ventures.
In the
first half of 2008, we have acquired one shopping center and invested in a
25%-owned unconsolidated joint venture to acquire a 4,000 square foot pad
building located in Florida for a purchase price of approximately $2.7
million.
In March
2008, we contributed 18 neighborhood/community shopping centers located in Texas
with an aggregate value of approximately $227.5 million, and aggregating more
than 2.1 million square feet, to a joint venture. We sold an 85%
interest in this joint venture to AEW Capital Management on behalf of one of its
institutional clients. Financing totaling $154.3 million was placed on the
properties and guaranteed by us.
Joint
venture fee income for the first half of 2008 was approximately $3.5 million or
an increase of $.4 million over the prior year. This is a direct
result of our strategy initiative to develop new real estate joint venture
relationships.
Dispositions
During
the first half of 2008, we sold six shopping centers and one industrial center
for $105.8 million. Although lenders for prospective acquirers have
tightened their underwriting criteria, we expect to continue to dispose of
certain properties during the year as opportunities present
themselves. Dispositions are part of an ongoing portfolio management
process where we prune our portfolio of properties that do not meet our
geographic or growth targets and provide capital to recycle into properties that
have barrier-to-entry locations within high growth metropolitan
markets. Over time, we expect this to produce a stronger portfolio
with higher occupancy rates and internal revenue growth.
Summary
of Critical Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is
based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an
ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
A
disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 in Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant
changes to our policies during 2008.

Revenues
Total
revenues were $154.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 versus $142.2 million
in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $12.4 million or
8.7%. This increase resulted from an increase in rental revenues of
$12.1 million and other income of $.3 million.
Property
acquisitions and new development activity contributed $9.3 million of the rental
income increase with $2.8 million resulting from 320 renewals and new leases,
comprising 1.6 million square feet at an average rental rate increase of
12.2%.

The
increases in 2008 for depreciation and amortization expense ($8.0 million),
operating expenses ($2.2 million), ad valorem taxes ($1.3 million) and general
and administrative expenses ($.6 million) were primarily a result of the
properties acquired and developed and an increase in depreciation expense as a
result of redevelopment activities. Overall, direct operating costs
and expenses (operating and ad valorem taxes) of operating our properties as a
percentage of rental revenues were 29.3% both in 2008 and 2007.

Gross
interest expense totaled $45.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, up $1.0
million or 2.4% from the second quarter of 2007. The increase in
gross interest expense was due primarily by an increase in the weighted average
debt outstanding from $2.9 billion in 2007 to $3.1 billion in 2008 at a weighted
average interest rate of 5.5% in 2008 and 5.9% for 2007. Capitalized
interest decreased $1.7 million due to a decrease in the annualized average
interest capitalization rate of 5.8% in 2008 compared to 8.1% in
2007.
Interest
and Other Income
Interest
and other income in the second quarter of 2008 was $1.7 million versus $3.0
million in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of $1.3 million or
43.3%. This decrease resulted from the fair value decline in the
assets held in a grantor trust related to our deferred compensation plan and a
reduction in interest earned from a qualified escrow
account. Offsetting this $1.9 million decrease is the interest earned
on notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships for new
development activities and other receivables.
Equity
in Earnings of Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net
Equity in
earnings of real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $5.1 million in
the second quarter of 2008, up $.8 million or 18.6% from the second quarter of
2007. This increase was attributable to incremental income from our
investments in newly formed joint ventures for the acquisition and development
of retail and industrial properties.
Income
Allocated to Minority Interests
Income
allocated to minority interests was $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2008
versus $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of $.9 million or
25.7%. This decrease resulted primarily from our minority partners’
share of gains totaling $2.2 million from the sale of two shopping centers in
2007 that were each held in a 50% consolidated joint
venture. Offsetting this decrease is the earnings associated with a
15%-owned newly formed consolidated joint venture and our minority partners’
share of gains totaling $.7 million from the sale of three land parcels in 2008
that were held in two consolidated joint ventures where our ownership ranged
from 50% to 55%.
Gain
on Land and Merchant Development Sales
Gain on
land and merchant development sales of $6.3 million in the second quarter of
2008 resulted primarily from the sale of 10 land parcels and the realization of
deferred gains, totaling $3.7 million that related to the sale of two land
parcels in prior periods. The gain in the second quarter of 2007
resulted primarily from the sale of two vacant industrial
buildings.

revenues were $307.6 million in the first six months of 2008 versus $282.9
million in the first six months of 2007, an increase of $24.7 million or
8.7%. This increase resulted from an increase in rental revenues of
$23.8 million and other income of $.9 million.
Property
acquisitions and new development activity contributed $20.0 million of the
rental income increase with $3.8 million resulting from 608 renewals and new
leases, comprising 3.3 million square feet at an average rental rate increase of

Gross
interest expense totaled $87.4 million in the first six months of 2008, down $.4
million from the first six months of 2007. The decrease in gross
interest expense was due primarily to the $2.8 million gain from a rate swap
termination, which was offset by an increase in the weighted average debt
outstanding at both periods. Average debt outstanding was increased
from $2.9 billion in 2007 to $3.1 billion in 2008 at a weighted average interest
rate of 5.5% in 2008 and 5.8% in 2007. Capitalized interest decreased
$2.4 million due to a decrease in the annualized average interest capitalization
rate of 5.8% in 2008 compared to 8.1% in 2007.
Interest
and Other Income
Interest
and other income was $2.7 million in the first six months of 2008 versus $4.8
million in the first six months of 2007, a decrease of $2.1 million or
43.8%. This decrease resulted from the fair value decline in the
assets held in a grantor trust related to our deferred compensation plan and a
reduction in interest earned from a qualified escrow
account. Offsetting this $3.6 million decrease is the interest earned
on notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships for new
development activities and other receivables.
Equity
in Earnings of Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net
Equity in
earnings of real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $10.4 million in
the first six months of 2008, up $2.8 million or 36.8% from the first six months
of 2007. This increase was attributable to incremental income from
our investments in newly formed joint ventures for the acquisition and
development of retail and industrial properties.
Gain
on Sale of Properties
The
decrease in gain on sale of properties of $1.9 million resulted primarily from
gain deferrals and adjustments in 2007 that did not recur in 2008.
Gain
on Land and Merchant Development Sales
Gain on
land and merchant development sales of $6.8 million in the first six months of
2008 resulted primarily from the sale of 12 land parcels plus the realization of
the deferred gain totaling $2.1 million that related to the sale of a prior year
land parcel. The activity in the first six months of 2007 results
from the sale of two land parcels and two vacant industrial
buildings.
Provision
for Income Taxes
The
increase is attributable to an increase of $.6 million and $.7 million
associated with the Texas margin tax and our taxable REIT subsidiary,
respectively.
Income
from Discontinued Operations
Income
from discontinued operations was $51.5 million in the first six months of 2008
versus $58.5 million in the first six months of 2007, a decrease of $7.0 million
or 12.0%. This decrease was due primarily to the gain on sale of
seven properties in 2008 as compared to the gain on sale for eight properties
during the same period of 2007. Also, the decrease in operating
income from discontinued operations results primarily from the disposition of an
additional 10 properties in 2007.
Effects
of Inflation
We have
structured our leases in such a way as to remain largely unaffected should
significant inflation occur. Most of the leases contain percentage
rent provisions whereby we receive increased rentals based on the tenants' gross
sales. Many leases provide for increasing minimum rentals during the
terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In addition, many
of our leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which allow us to adjust
rental rates to changing market conditions when the leases
expire. Most of our leases also require the tenants to pay their
proportionate share of operating expenses and ad valorem taxes. As a
result of these lease provisions, increases due to inflation, as well as ad
valorem tax rate increases, generally do not have a significant adverse effect
upon our operating results because they are absorbed by our
tenants.
Capital
Resources and Liquidity
Our
primary liquidity needs are payment of our common and preferred dividends,
maintaining and operating our existing properties, payment of our debt service
costs and funding planned growth. We anticipate that cash flows from
operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all common
and preferred dividend payments and debt service costs, as well as the capital
necessary to maintain and operate our existing properties. We do not
anticipate that the current turmoil in the capital markets will have a
significant effect on our ability to obtain capital or to execute our business
plan. We believe that asset dispositions, real estate joint venture
relationships and existing capital resources such as our revolving credit
facilities will provide adequate capital. Our most restrictive debt
covenants limit the amount of additional leverage we can add; however, we
believe the sources of capital described above are adequate to execute our
current business plan and remain in compliance with our debt
covenants.
Primary
sources of capital for funding our acquisitions and new development programs are
our revolving credit facilities, cash generated from sale of properties and
notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships for new
development activities, transactions with venture partners, cash flow generated
by our operating properties and proceeds from capital issuances as
needed. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement are
retired as needed with proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, common and
preferred equity, cash generated from disposition of properties and cash flow
generated by our operating properties. As of June 30, 2008, the
balance outstanding under our $575 million revolving credit facility was $303.0
million, and $2.7 million was outstanding under our $30 million credit
facility, which we use for cash management purposes.
Our
capital structure also includes non-recourse secured debt that we assume in
conjunction with our acquisitions program. We also have non-recourse
debt secured by acquired or developed properties held in several of our real
estate joint ventures and partnerships. We hedge the future cash
flows of certain debt transactions, as well as changes in the fair value of our
debt instruments, principally through interest rate swaps with major financial
institutions. We generally have the right to sell or otherwise
dispose of our assets except in certain cases where we are required to obtain
our joint venture partners’ consent or a third party consent for assets held in
special purpose entities, which are 100% owned by us.

.
In
January 2008, we acquired a 4,000 square foot pad building located in Florida
through a 25%-owned unconsolidated joint venture.
In March
2008, we contributed 18 neighborhood/community shopping centers located in Texas
with an aggregate value of approximately $227.5 million, and aggregating more
than 2.1 million square feet, to a joint venture. We sold an 85% interest
in this joint venture to AEW Capital Management on behalf of one of its
institutional clients and received proceeds approximating $216.1
million. We maintain a 15% ownership interest in this
venture, which is consolidated in our financial statements.
Kirby Strip Center,
acquired in May 2008, is a 10,000 square foot building located in Houston,
Texas.

During
the first half of 2008, we sold 12 parcels of land located in Arizona, Colorado,
Florida, North Carolina and Texas, which generated gains of $6.8
million. In an unconsolidated real estate joint venture and
partnership, a land parcel was sold in Colorado. Our share of the
sales proceeds and the gain generated totaled $.3 million and $.2 million,
respectively.
Our new
development projects are financed initially under our revolving credit
facilities, using available cash generated from dispositions of properties, cash
flow generated by our operating properties or proceeds from notes receivable
from real estate joint venture and partnerships for new development
activities.
Capital
expenditures for additions to the existing portfolio, acquisitions, new
development and our share of investments in unconsolidated real estate joint
ventures totaled $229.0 million and $443.8 million for the first six months
of 2008 and 2007, respectively. We expect to invest $78.6
million in the remainder of 2008, $76.0 million in 2009, $48.8 million in 2010,
$19.6 million in 2011 and $6.5 million in 2012 and $3.5 million in 2013 to
complete construction of the new development properties.
Financing
Activities:
Debt
Total
debt outstanding remained stable at $3.2 billion at June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007. Total debt at June 30, 2008 included $2.8 billion of which
interest rates are fixed and $372.3 million that bears interest at variable
rates, after adjusting for the net effect of $50 million of interest rate
swaps. Additionally, debt totaling $1.0 billion was secured by
operating properties while the remaining $2.1 billion was
unsecured.
We have a
$575 million unsecured revolving credit facility held by a syndicate of
banks. This unsecured revolving facility expires in February 2010 and
provides a one year extension option available at our
request. Borrowing rates under this facility float at a margin over
LIBOR, plus a facility fee. The borrowing margin and facility fee,
which are currently 42.5 and 15.0 basis points, respectively, are priced off a
grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit rating. This
facility includes a competitive bid feature where we are allowed to request bids
for borrowings up to $287.5 million from the syndicate banks. As of
July 31, 2008, there was $383.0 million outstanding under this facility. We
also maintain a $30 million unsecured and uncommitted overnight facility that is
used for cash management purposes, and as of July 31, 2008, $10.4 million was
outstanding under this facility. The available balance under our
revolving credit agreement was $171.4 million at July 31, 2008, which is reduced
by amounts outstanding for letters of credit and our overnight
facility. We believe we were in full compliance with the covenants of
our unsecured revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2008.
On March
20, 2008, we contributed assets to a joint venture with an institutional
investor. In conjunction with this transaction, the joint venture
issued $154.3 million of fixed-rate long-term debt with an average life of 7.3
years at an average rate of 5.4% that we guaranteed. We received all
of the proceeds from the issuance of this debt and such proceeds were used to
reduce amounts outstanding under our $575 million revolving credit
facility.
In
January 2008, we elected to repay at par a fixed-rate 8.33% mortgage totaling
$121.8 million that was secured by 19 supermarket-anchored shopping centers in
California originally acquired in April 2001.
As of
December 31, 2007, the balance of secured debt that was assumed in conjunction
with 2007 acquisitions was $99.4 million. A capital lease obligation
totaling $12.9 million was assumed and subsequently settled in
2007.
At June
30, 2008, we had two interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value
hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million that convert fixed
interest payments at rates of 4.2% to variable interest payments. We
could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the
counter-parties; however, management believes the likelihood of such
nonperformance is unlikely.
At
December 31, 2007, we had two forward-starting interest rate swap contracts with
an aggregate notional amount of $118.6 million to mitigate the risk of future
fluctuations in interest rates on forecasted issuances of long-term
debt. These contracts were settled approximately one week after we
contributed assets to a joint venture with an institutional investor and
concurrently issued $154.3 million of fixed-rate long-term debt that we
guaranteed.
Equity
Common
and preferred dividends increased to $105.9 million in the first six months of
2008, compared to $96.1 million for the first six months of 2007. The
quarterly dividend rate for our common shares of beneficial interest increased
to $.525 in 2008 compared to $.495 for the same period of 2007. Our
dividend payout ratio on common equity for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 approximated 66.5% and 64.9%, respectively, based on basic funds from
operations for the respective periods.
We issued
$150 million and $200 million of depositary shares on June 6, 2008 and January
30, 2007, respectively. Each depositary share represents
one-hundredth of a Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Share. The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, on
or after January 30, 2012 at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per
depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The
depositary shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any of our other
property or securities. The Series F Preferred Shares pay a 6.5%
annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per
share. Series F Preferred Shares issued in June 2008 were issued at a
discount, resulting in an effective rate of 8.25%. Net proceeds of
$118.1 million and $194.0 million in June 2008 and January 2007, respectively,
were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities and
for general business purposes. Subsequent to the 2008 issuance, our
revolving credit facilities were used to finance the partial redemption of the
Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares as described below.
On
September 25, 2007, we issued $200 million of depositary shares in a private
placement, and the net proceeds of $193.6 million were used to repay amounts
outstanding under our credit facilities. Each depositary share
represents one-hundredth of a Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Share. The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part at
our option, at a redemption price of $25 multiplied by a graded rate per
depositary share based on the date of redemption plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not convertible or
exchangeable for any of our other property or securities. The Series
G Preferred Shares pay a variable-rate quarterly dividend through September 2008
and then a variable-rate monthly dividend and have a liquidation preference of
$2,500 per share. The variable-rate dividend is calculated on the
period’s three month LIBOR rate plus a percentage determined by the number of
days outstanding. Further, the rate may vary if any of our
outstanding preferred shares are downgraded. The variable-rate
dividend is not to exceed 20%.
On June
20, 2008, we redeemed $120 million of the Series G Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares. Upon the redemption of these shares, the related
original issuance costs of $1.0 million were reported as a deduction in arriving
at net income available to common shareholders.
Subsequent
to June 30, 2008, the remaining Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares
totaling $80 million were redeemed. This redemption was financed
under our revolving credit facilities, and the related original issuance costs
of $.9 million will be a reduction to net income available to common
shareholders.
In July
2007, our Board of Trust Managers authorized a common share repurchase
program as part of our ongoing investment strategy. Under the terms
of the program, we may purchase up to a maximum value of $300 million of our
common shares of beneficial interest during the next two years. Share
repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions at the discretion of management and as market conditions
warrant. We anticipate funding the repurchase of shares primarily
through the proceeds received from our property disposition program, as well as
from general corporate funds.
During
2007, we repurchased 2.8 million common shares of beneficial interest at an
average share price of $37.12 and cancelled 1.4 million common shares of
beneficial interest in both 2008 and 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the
remaining value of common shares of beneficial interest available to be
repurchased is $196.7 million.
In
September 2004, the SEC declared effective two additional shelf registration
statements totaling $1.55 billion, of which $1.2 billion was available as of
July 31, 2008. In addition, we have $85.4 million available as of
July 31, 2008 under our $1 billion shelf registration statement, which
became effective in April 2003. These shelf registrations will expire
at December 31, 2008. We will continue to closely monitor both the
debt and equity markets and carefully consider our available financing
alternatives, including both public and private placements.

Includes
principal and interest with interest on variable-rate debt calculated using
rates at June 30, 2008 excluding the effect of interest rate swaps.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, none of our off-balance sheet arrangements
had a material effect on our liquidity or availability of, or requirement for,
our capital resources. Letters of credit totaling $10.2 million and
$9.2 million were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Related
to our investment in a redevelopment project in Sheridan, Colorado that is held
in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, we, our joint venture partner
and the joint venture have each provided a guarantee for the payment of any
annual sinking fund requirement shortfalls on bonds issued in connection with
the project. The Sheridan Redevelopment Agency issued $97 million of
Series A bonds used for an urban renewal project. The bonds are to be
repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee
(“PIF”) to be assessed on future retail sales. The incremental taxes
and PIF are to remain intact until the bond liability has been paid in full,
including any amounts we may have to provide. We have evaluated and
determined that the fair value of the guarantee is nominal. However,
due to the guarantee, a liability has been recorded by the joint venture equal
to amounts funded under the bonds.
Funds
from Operations
The
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as
net income (loss) available to common shareholders computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains or losses from sales
of operating real estate assets and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and
amortization of operating properties, including our share of unconsolidated real
estate joint ventures and partnerships. We calculate FFO in a manner
consistent with the NAREIT definition.
Management
uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because
there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as
the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost
accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes
that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over
time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or
fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of
operating results for real estate companies that uses historical cost accounting
is insufficient by itself. There can be no assurance that FFO
presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other
REITs.
FFO
should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements
under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from
operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of
liquidity. FFO does not reflect working capital changes, cash
expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on
indebtedness.

Newly
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value
Measurements.” This statement defines fair value and establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The key
changes to current practice are (1) the definition of fair value, which focuses
on an exit price rather than an entry price; (2) the methods used to measure
fair value, such as emphasis that fair value is a market-based measurement, not
an entity-specific measurement, as well as the inclusion of an adjustment for
risk, restrictions and credit standing and (3) the expanded disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair
value measurements.
We
adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008 regarding our financial assets and
liabilities currently recorded or disclosed at fair value. The FASB
has issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157,” to defer the provisions of SFAS 157 relating to nonfinancial assets
and liabilities that delays implementation by us until January 1,
2009. SFAS 157 has not and is not expected to materially affect how
we determine fair value, but it has resulted in certain additional
disclosures.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 (“SFAS 158”), “Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An
Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R.” This new
standard requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial
position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s
underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that
determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with
limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined
benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes
occur. These changes will be reported in comprehensive
income. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit
obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of
financial position (the “Measurement Provision”) is effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2008. We have assessed the potential impact
of the Measurement Provision of SFAS 158 and concluded that its adoption will
not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 expands
opportunities to use fair value measurement in financial reporting and permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. This statement was effective for us on January 1,
2008, and we have elected not to measure any of our current eligible financial
assets or liabilities at fair value upon adoption; however, we do have the
option to elect to measure eligible financial assets or liabilities acquired in
the future at fair value.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141R”),
“Business
Combinations.” SFAS 141R expands the original guidance’s definition
of a business. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition
to all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and interests transferred as a
result of business combinations. SFAS 141R requires expanded
disclosures to improve the ability to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for us for business
combinations made on or after January 1, 2009. While we have not
formally quantified the effect, we expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a
material effect on our accounting for future acquisition of properties, which
may fall under the definition of a business.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (“SFAS 160”), “Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No.
51.” SFAS 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in an
unconsolidated entity be reported as equity and any losses in excess of an
unconsolidated entity’s equity interest be recorded to the noncontrolling
interest. The statement requires fair value measurement of any
noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS
160 is effective for us on January 1, 2009 and most provisions will be applied
retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will
have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133.” SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s
derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for us on
January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS 161 will
have to the disclosures included in our consolidated financial
statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3 (“FSP FAS 142-3”),
“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP FAS
142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal and
extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of assets considered in a business combination. FSP FAS 142-3
is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating
the impact FSP FAS 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1 (“FSP APB 14-1”),
“Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon
Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” FSP APB 14-1 will
require that the initial debt proceeds from the sale of our convertible and
exchangeable senior debentures be allocated between a liability component and an
equity component in a manner that will reflect our effective nonconvertible
borrowing rate. The resulting debt discount would be amortized using
the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to be
outstanding as additional interest expense. FSP APB 14-1 is effective
for us on January 1, 2009 and requires retroactive application. Upon
the adoption of FSP APB 14-1, we estimate the unamortized debt discount (as of
June 30, 2008) to be approximately $28.9 million to be included as a reduction
of debt and approximately $43.5 million as accumulated additional paid-in
capital on our consolidated balance sheet. We estimate incremental
interest expense to be approximately $4.1 million for the first six months of
2008 and $7.9 million and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
ITEM
3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We use
fixed and floating-rate debt to finance our capital
requirements. These transactions expose us to market risk related to
changes in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are used
to manage a portion of this risk, primarily interest rate swap agreements with
major financial institutions. These swap agreements expose us to
credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counter-parties to the
swaps. We do not engage in the trading of derivative financial
instruments in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2008, we
