Kite Realty Group Trust
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
 
 
Note 1. Organization
 
 
Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, redevelopment and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and certain office real estate properties in select markets in the United States.
 
 
On July 1, 2014, we completed a merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland Diversified”), in which Inland Diversified merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours in a stock-for-stock exchange with a transaction value of approximately $2.1 billion, including the assumption of approximately $0.9 billion of debt.   See Note 11 for additional details.
 
 
    The retail portfolio we acquired through the merger with Inland Diversified was comprised of 60 properties in 23 states.  The properties are located in a number of our existing markets and in various new markets including Westchester, New York; Bayonne, New Jersey; Las Vegas, Nevada; Virginia Beach, Virginia;and Salt Lake City, Utah.
 
 
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Inland Diversified shareholders received 1.707 newly issued common shares of the Company for each outstanding common share of Inland Diversified, resulting in a total issuance of approximately 201.1 million of our common shares.  The transaction had a value of approximately $1.2 billion based on the closing price of our common shares on the day preceding the merger of $6.14.  The terms are prior to the one for four reverse share split completed in August 2014.
 
 
At September 30, 2014, we owned interests in 129 operating properties (consisting of 127 retail properties and two office properties) and three development properties under construction.
 
 
Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests
 
 
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading.  The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the financial information set forth therein.  The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis.

Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures
 
 
The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Company or the Operating Partnership that are controlled and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights.  The Company consolidates properties that are wholly owned as well as properties it controls but in which it owns less than a 100% interest.  Control of a property is demonstrated by, among other factors:
 
 
 
·
our ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or owner;
 
 
 
·
the inability of any other partner or owner to replace the Company as manager of the property; or

being the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
 
 
As of September 30, 2014, we had investments in two joint ventures that are VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary.  As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $65.9 million which is secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $115.9 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs.
 
 
We consider all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including development agreements, management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance.   We also continuously reassess primary beneficiary status.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, there were no changes to our conclusions regarding whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or whether we are the primary beneficiary of any previously identified VIE.
 
 
Noncontrolling Interests
 
 
We report the noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements.  The noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Noncontrolling interests balance at September 30
  $ 3,364     $ 3,543  


We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because we may be required to pay cash to unitholders upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership under certain circumstances, such as the delivery of registered shares upon conversion.  The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is required to be reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital.  As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value.
 
 
We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred dividends and noncontrolling interest in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest.  We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership.  This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ equity.  The Company’s and the limited partners’ weighted average interests in the Operating Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

At September 30, 2014, our interest and the redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 98.1% and 1.9%, respectively.  At December 31, 2013, our interest and the redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 95.2% and 4.8%, respectively.
 
 
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries
 
 
Prior to the merger, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties.  The Class B units remain outstanding subsequent to the merger with Inland Diversified and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in these properties.    The Class B units will become redeemable at our applicable partner’s election at future dates generally beginning in September 2015, March 2017 or October 2022 based on the applicable joint venture and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria.  Beginning in June 2018, October 2022 and November 2022, with respect to our Inland Territory, City Center and Crossing at Killingly joint ventures, respectively, the applicable Class B units can be redeemed at either our applicable partner’s or our election.  None of the issued units have a maturity date and none are mandatorily redeemable.
 
 
We consolidate each of these joint ventures because we control the decision making of each of the joint ventures and our joint venture partners have limited protective rights.

We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests.  The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital.  As of September 30, 2014, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not exceed the initial book value recorded upon our acquisition of Inland Diversified.
 

   The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and other subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
 
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (the “Update”).  The Update changes the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity or assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  The Update also requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations and requires an entity to disclose the pretax profit or loss of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting in the period in which it is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and for all prior periods that are presented in the statement where net income is reported.  The Update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted for disposals of assets that were not held for sale as of December 31, 2013.  The Company adopted the Update in the first quarter of 2014.  In March 2014, the Company disposed of its 50th and 12th operating property which had been classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013.  Accordingly, the revenues and expenses of this property and the associated gain on sale have been classified in discontinued operations in the 2014 consolidated statements of operations.
 
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance as well as impact the existing GAAP guidance governing the sale of nonfinancial assets. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies will need to exercise more judgment and make more estimates than under existing GAAP guidance.
 
 
ASU 2014-09 will be effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 allows for either recognizing the cumulative effect of application (i) at the start of the earliest comparative period presented (with the option to use any or all of three practical expedients) or (ii) at the date of initial application, with no restatement of comparative periods presented.
 
 
We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of ASU 2014-09 on our ongoing financial reporting.
 
 
Note 3. Earnings Per Share
 
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined with the incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive shares into common shares as of the earliest date possible.
 
 
Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding options to acquire common shares, units in the Operating Partnership, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Company’s option, under certain circumstances, units under our outperformance plan (see Note 6), potential settlement of redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain joint ventures and deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees.  Due to our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the potentially dilutive securities were not dilutive for those periods.
 
 
Approximately 1.0 million and 1.6 million outstanding options to acquire common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was not dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
 
On August 11, 2014, we completed a one-for-four reverse share split of our common shares. As a result of the reverse share split, the number of outstanding common shares of the Company was reduced from approximately 332.7 million to approximately 83.2 million.  All common share and per share information contained herein has been restated to reflect the reverse share split as if it had occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.

   Mortgage and construction loans are collateralized by certain real estate properties and leases.  Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2022.
 
 
Variable interest rates on mortgage and construction loans are based on LIBOR plus spreads ranging from 135 to 275 basis points.  At September 30, 2014, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.15%.  Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 3.81% to 6.78%.
 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan
 
 
On July 1, 2014, we amended the terms of our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “amended facility”) and increased the total borrowing capacity from $200 million to $500 million.  The amended terms also include an extension of the maturity date to July 1, 2018, which may be further extended at our option for up to two additional periods of six months, subject to certain conditions, and a reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 140 to 200 basis points, depending on our leverage, from LIBOR plus 165 to 250 basis points.  The amended facility has a fee of 15 to 25 basis points on unused borrowings.  We may increase our borrowings under the amended facility up to $750 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the amended facility, to provide such increased amounts.
 

 
12

 
 
 
On July 1, 2014, we also amended the terms of our $230 million Term Loan (the “amended Term Loan”).   The amended Term Loan has a maturity date of July 1, 2019, which may be extended for an additional six months at the Company’s option subject to certain conditions.  The interest rate applicable to the amended Term Loan was reduced to LIBOR plus 135 to 190 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage, a decrease of between 10 and 55 basis points across the leverage grid.  The amended Term Loan also provides for an increase in total borrowing of up to an additional $170 million ($400 million in total), subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders.
 
 
The amount that we may borrow under our amended facility is based on the value of assets in our unencumbered property pool.  As of September 30, 2014, the full amount of our amended facility, or $500 million, was available for draw based on the unencumbered property pool allocated to the facility.  Taking into account outstanding draws and letters of credit, as of September 30, 2014, we had $380 million available for future borrowings under our amended facility.  In addition, our unencumbered assets could provide approximately $65 million of additional borrowing capacity under our amended facility.  As of September 30, 2014, we had 84 unencumbered properties, of which 76 were wholly-owned by subsidiaries which are guarantors under the amended facility and the amended Term Loan.
 
 
As of September 30, 2014, $113 million was outstanding under the amended facility and $230 million was outstanding under the amended Term Loan.  Additionally, we had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $7 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of September 30, 2014.
 
 
Our ability to borrow under the amended facility is subject to our compliance with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  The amended facility and the amended Term Loan also require us to satisfy certain financial covenants.  As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all such covenants on the amended facility and the amended Term Loan.
 
 
Debt Activity
 
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had total loan borrowings of $84.2 million, total loan assumptions of $859.6 million and total loan repayments of $131.8 million.  The major components of this activity are as follows:
 
 
·  
In January 2014, we paid off the $4.0 million loan secured by the 50th and 12th operating property using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the property (see Note 10);
 
·  
In February 2014, we drew $14.7 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility to fund redevelopment and tenant improvement costs;
 
·  
In March 2014, we paid down $14.7 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility utilizing a portion of proceeds from property sales;
 
·  
In March 2014, we refinanced the $6.9 million Beacon Hill variable rate loan and extended the maturity of the loan to April 2018;
 
·  
In May 2014, we paid down $1.2 million on the loan secured by Delray Marketplace operating property;
 
·  
In July 2014, we retired the $17.7 million loan secured by our Rangeline Crossing operating property, the $18.9 million loan secured by our Four Corner Square operating property and the $5.0 million loan secured by land at 951 and 41 in Naples, Florida using cash acquired as part of the merger;
 
·  
In July 2014, as a result of the merger with Inland Diversified, we assumed $859.6 million in debt secured by 41 properties.  As part of the purchase price allocation, a debt premium of $33.3 million was recorded.  The variable interest rates on these mortgage loans are based on LIBOR plus spreads ranging from 175 to 275 basis points.  The fixed interest rates on these mortgage loans range from 3.81% to 6.19% and mature over various terms through 2022;
 
·  
We paid down $32 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility during the third quarter utilizing cash on hand;
 
·  
In September 2014, we retired the $4.5 million loan secured by the Zionsville Walgreens operating property upon the sale of the asset (see Note 10);
 
·  
We drew $40.5 million during the period on construction loans related to the Holly Springs – Phase I and Parkside – Phases I and II  development projects; and
 
·  
We made scheduled principal payments on indebtedness totaling $4.7 million.

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
 
 
As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of fixed rate debt, including properties held for sale, was $956.6 million compared to the book value of $893.5 million.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 3.81% to 6.78%.  As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of variable rate debt, including properties held for sale, was $811.8 million compared to the book value of $775.6 million.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 1.50% to 2.90%.
 
 
Note 5. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income
 
 
In order to manage volatility relating to variable interest rate risk, we enter into interest rate hedging agreements from time to time.  We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes nor do we have any derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges.  We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision that in the event of default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.  As of September 30, 2014, we were party to various cash flow hedge agreements with notional amounts totaling $456.3 million.  These hedge agreements effectively fix the interest rate indices underlying certain variable rate debt instruments over terms ranging from 2014 through 2020.  Utilizing a weighted average interest rate spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in fixing the weighted average interest rate at 3.25%.
 
 
These interest rate hedge agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis.  The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques including discounted cash flow analysis.  These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities.  We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties.
 
 
In the merger with Inland Diversified we assumed seven interest rate swaps.  The notional amount of the instruments was $163.3 million and the fair value was a net liability of $3.7 million on the merger date.  Three of these swaps with a combined notional amount of $34.2 million did not meet the requirements for hedge accounting.  The change in the fair value of those interest rate agreements of $0.2 million for the three months ending September 30, 2014 was shown as a reduction to interest expense.
 
 
As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, accounting guidance 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 for identical instruments that are classified within Level 1 and observable inputs for similar instruments that are classified within Level 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3).  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.
 
 
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and our counterparties.   However, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its 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 our derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
 
As of September 30, 2014 the fair value of our interest rate hedges was a net liability of $2.8 million, including accrued interest of $0.5 million.  As of September 30, 2014, $2.3 million is recorded in prepaid and other assets and $5.1 million is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  At December 31, 2013 the net fair value of our interest rate hedge assets was $1.1 million, including accrued interest of $0.3 million.  As of December 31, 2013, $2.8 million is recorded in prepaid and other assets and $1.7 million is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
 
We currently expect the impact to interest expense over the next 12 months as the hedged forecasted interest payments occur to be $4.9 million.  Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $3.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, were reclassified as a reduction to earnings.

Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity
 
 
Merger with Inland Diversified
 
 
In preparation for our merger with Inland Diversified and upon approval from shareholders, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Amendment and Restatement of Declaration of Trust, as amended, with the State of Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation to increase the total number of authorized common shares of beneficial interest from 200,000,000 to 450,000,000.
 
 
On July 1, 2014, we issued approximately 50.3 million of our common shares to the existing Inland Diversified stockholders as consideration in connection with the merger transaction.  For purposes of financial statement presentation, the shares were valued based on the closing price of our common shares immediately prior to the closing date.
 
 
Share Grants to Employees
 
 
    In July 2014, a total of 0.3 million restricted shares were granted to members of executive management and certain other employees in connection with the successful closing of the merger with Inland Diversified and in recognition of the increase in the size of the Company and the scale of its operations and in anticipation of new three year employment agreements that were subsequently entered into with members of executive management.  These shares will vest ratably over periods of up to four years, and in the case of members of executive management there is generally a three year no-sell restriction after the shares have vested.  The restricted shares were granted at fair values ranging from $21.24 to $25.00
 
 
    In July 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees adopted the Kite Realty Group Trust 2014 Outperformance Plan for members of executive management and certain other employees, pursuant to which grantees are eligible to earn units in the Operating Partnership based on the achievement of certain performance criteria of the Company’s common shares. Participants in the 2014 Outperformance Plan may earn, in the aggregate, up to$7.5 million of share-settled awards based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year period beginning July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2017.
 
 
    At the end of the three-year performance period, participants will be paid their percentage interest in the bonus pool as units in the Operating Partnership that vest over an additional two-year service period.  The compensation cost of the 2014 Outperformance Plan is fixed as of the grant date and is recognized regardless of whether the units are ultimately earned.
 
 
The 2014 Outperformance Plan was valued at an aggregate value of $2.4 million utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation.  The value of the awards will be amortized to expense through the final vesting date of June 30, 2019 based upon a graded vesting schedule.

Reverse Share Split
 
 
On August 11, 2014, we completed a reverse share split of our common shares at a ratio of one new share for each four shares then outstanding.  As a result of the reverse share split, the number of outstanding common shares was reduced from approximately 332.7 million shares to approximately 83.2 million shares.
 
 
Distribution Payments
 
 
Our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.515625 per Series A Preferred Share covering the period from June 2, 2014 to September 1, 2014.  This distribution was paid on September 1, 2014 to shareholders of record as of August 22, 2014.
 
 
Our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.26 per common share for the third quarter of 2014.  This distribution was paid on October 13, 2014 to common shareholders and operating partnership unit holders of record as of October 6, 2014.
 
 
Note 7. Deferred Costs
 
 
Deferred costs consist primarily of financing fees incurred to obtain long-term financing, acquired lease intangible assets, and broker fees and capitalized salaries and related benefits incurred in connection with lease originations.  Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loan agreements.  Deferred leasing costs, lease intangibles and similar costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred costs consisted of the following:

   Amortization of deferred leasing costs, leasing intangibles and other is included in depreciation and amortization expense, while the amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense.
 
 
Note 8. Deferred Revenue and Other Liabilities
 
 
Deferred revenue and other liabilities consist of unamortized fair value of in-place lease liabilities recorded in connection with purchase accounting, earnout components related to property acquisitions, retainage payables for development and redevelopment projects, and tenant rents received in advance.  The amortization of in-place lease liabilities is recognized as revenue over the remaining life of the leases (including option periods for leases with below market renewal options) through 2036.  Tenant rents received in advance are recognized as revenue in the period to which they apply, usually the month following their receipt.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
 
 
Other Commitments and Contingencies
 
 
We are not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us other than routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management believes that such routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of the development and redevelopment projects.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through existing construction loans.  In addition, if necessary, we may make draws on our unsecured revolving credit facility.
 
 
We have guaranteed a loan in the amount of $26.6 million on behalf of LC White Plains Retail, LLC and LC White Plains Recreation, LLC (collectively, the “LC Partners”).  Along with our guarantee of the loan the LC Partners pledged their Class B units as collateral for the loan.  If payment of the loan is required and the value of the Class B units does not fully service the loan, the Company will be required to retire the remaining amount.
 
 
As of September 30, 2014, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $7 million.  At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.
 
 
Earnout Liability
 
 
Nine of our properties, which properties were acquired by Inland Diversified prior to the date of the merger, have earnout components whereby the Company is required to pay the seller additional consideration based on subsequent leasing activity of vacant space. The maximum potential earnout payment was $15.0 million at September 30, 2014. The table below presents the change in our earnout liability for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Note 10. Disposals of Operating Properties and Investment Properties Held for Sale
 
 
During the first quarter of 2014, we sold our Red Bank Commons operating property in Evansville, Indiana, our Ridge Plaza operating property in Oak Ridge, New Jersey, and our 50th and 12th operating property in Seattle, Washington for aggregate proceeds of $35.2 million and a net gain of $6.7 million.

During the third quarter of 2014, we sold our Zionsville Walgreens operating property in Zionsville, Indiana for aggregate proceeds of $7.3 million and a net gain of $2.9 million.
 
 
The Red Bank Commons, Ridge Plaza and Zionsville Walgreens operating properties are not included in discontinued operations in the accompanying Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, as the disposals individually or in the aggregate did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results (see Note 2).
 
 
The 50th and 12th operating property is included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, as the property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013.
 
 
Sale of Properties to Inland Real Estate Income Trust
 
 
On September 16, 2014, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“Inland Real Estate”), which provides for the sale of 15 of our operating properties (the “Portfolio”) to Inland Real Estate with the option for the sale of a 16th property, Village at Bay Park.
 
 
The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that the Portfolio will be sold to Inland Real Estate in two separate tranches. The sale of the first tranche (“Tranche I”) will consist of nine retail operating properties to be sold for approximately $163.1 million and is expected to occur on or before December 15, 2014. The sale of the second tranche (“Tranche II”) will consist of six retail operating properties to be sold for a sales price of approximately $155.1 million and is expected to occur on or before March 16, 2015.  The closing of the Village at Bay Park operating retail property would occur on June 15, 2015, for a sales price of approximately $19.7 million; however, the Company and Inland Real Estate each has the right to opt out of this transaction for any reason. The deadline for the decision to either opt out or irrevocably commit to purchasing the Village at Bay Park property is June 8, 2015.  One of the Company’s trustees also serves as a director of Inland Real Estate, and therefore recused himself from any consideration by the Board of Trustees of the transaction.
 

The expected timing of the sale of the Portfolio is as follows:

    The operating properties listed above are not included in discontinued operations in the accompanying Statements of Operations as the disposals neither individually nor in the aggregate represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results (see Note 2).  The Portfolio met the requirements to present as held for sale as of September 30, 2014.  The sale of the Village at Bay Park property does not meet the held for sale criteria.  Upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria, depreciation and amortization ceased for these operating properties.  The assets and liabilities associated with these properties are separately classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014.

Note 11. Acquisitions
 
 
    Upon completion of the merger with Inland Diversified, we acquired 60 operating properties. In the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired thirteen properties.  Preliminary purchase price allocations were made at the date of acquisition, primarily to the fair value of tangible assets (land, building, and improvements) as well as to intangibles.  The estimated purchase price allocations remain preliminary at September 30, 2014 and are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year.
 
 
We measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests in an acquiree at fair value on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired.  In making estimates of fair values for the purpose of allocating purchase price, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.
 
 
A portion of the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets and intangibles, including:
 
 
·  
the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and to land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
 
·  
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.  Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values.  The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income; and
 
·  
the value of leases acquired.  We utilize independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values.  Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers.  Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant.  The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.
 
 
We also consider whether a portion of the purchase price should be allocated to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value.  Characteristics we consider in allocating these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.  To date, a tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.
 
 
    The Company determined that it was the acquirer for accounting purposes in the merger with Inland Diversified.  We considered the continuation of the Company’s existing management and a majority of the existing board members as the most significant considerations in our analysis.  Additionally, Inland Diversified had previously announced the transaction as a liquidation event and we believe this transaction was an acquisition of Inland Diversified by the Company.

The following table presents pro forma combined total revenue and consolidated net (loss) income for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 and 2013 as if the merger had been consummated on January 1, 2013.  Adjustments have been made to the Kite Realty Group Trust results to reflect the effects of 2013 and 2014 property acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma results have been calculated under our accounting policies and adjusted to reflect the results of Inland Diversified’s additional depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded assuming the allocation of the purchase price to investment properties, intangible assets and indebtedness had been applied on January 1, 2013.  The pro forma results exclude merger costs and reflect the termination of management agreements with affiliates of Inland Diversified as neither are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the operations following the merger.  The results also reflect the pay down of certain debt, which was contemplated as part of the merger.

The fair value of the real estate and related assets acquired were primarily determined using the income approach.  The income approach required us to make assumptions about market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal values.  The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as previously defined.  The ranges of the most significant Level 3 assumptions utilized in determining the value of the real estate and related assets of each building acquired during the 2014 merger are as follows:

 
   
Low
   
High
 
Lease-up period (months)
    6       18

   Merger and acquisition costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to our merger with Inland Diversified totaled $26.8 million compared to $0.6 million of costs for property acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The majority of the $26.8 million related to investment banking, lender, due diligence, legal, and professional expenses.
 
 
There were no material adjustments to the purchase price allocations for our 2013 acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2014.
 
 
Note 12. Development and Redevelopment Activities
 
 
Development Activities
 
 
In 2014, we expect to substantially complete construction on Parkside Town Commons – Phase I near Raleigh, North Carolina, which is anchored by Harris Teeter, Petco and a non-owned Target.  Parkside Town Commons – Phase II is under construction as of September 30, 2014.  Field & Stream and Golf Galaxy opened in September 2014 and will be joined by Frank Theatres and Toby Keith’s Bar & Grill in the first half of 2015.
 
 
Redevelopment Activities
 
 
In January 2013, we completed plans for a redevelopment project at Bolton Plaza and reduced the estimated useful lives of certain assets that were demolished as part of this project.  As a result of this change in estimate, $0.8 million of additional depreciation expense was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The center is anchored by Academy Sports and Outdoors, LA Fitness, and Panera Bread.  We transitioned this project to the operating portfolio in the third quarter of 2014.
 
In July 2013, we completed plans for a redevelopment project at King’s Lake Square and reduced the estimated useful lives of certain assets that were demolished as part of this project.  As a result of this change in estimate, $2.5 million of additional depreciation expense was recognized in 2013.  This center is anchored by Publix Supermarkets which opened in April of 2014.  We transitioned this project to the operating portfolio in the second quarter of 2014.
 
 
Note 13. Kedron Village
 
 
    In 2013, foreclosure proceedings were completed by the mortgage lender on the indebtedness secured by the Company’s Kedron Village operating property and the mortgage lender took title to the property in satisfaction of principal and interest due on the loan.
 
 
We reevaluated the Kedron Village property for impairment as of June 30, 2013 and determined that, based on the developments, the carrying value of the property was no longer fully recoverable considering the reduced holding period that considers the foreclosure proceedings.  Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 based upon the estimated fair value of the asset of $25.5 million.
 
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $1.2 million resulting from the transfer of the Kedron Village assets to the lender in satisfaction of the debt.  Also, in the third quarter, the Company reversed an accrual of unpaid interest (primarily default interest) of approximately $1.1 million.
 
 
The operations of Kedron Village were classified as Discontinued Operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

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

The following discussion should be read in connection with the accompanying historical financial statements and related notes thereto.  In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its subsidiaries.
 

 Overview
 

Our Business and Properties
 
 
Kite Realty Group Trust, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, redevelopment, and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers in selected markets in the United States.  We derive revenues primarily from rents and reimbursement payments received from tenants under leases at our properties.  Our operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments, conditions in the United States retail sector, and overall economic and real estate market conditions.
 
 
At September 30, 2014, we owned interests in 129 operating properties (consisting of 127 retail properties and two office properties) and three development properties under construction.  In addition, we also owned interests in other land parcels comprising 131 acres that may be used for future expansion of existing properties, development of new retail or office properties or sold to third parties.
 
 
Merger with Inland Diversified
 
 
On July 1, 2014, we completed a merger with Inland Diversified in which Inland Diversified merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours in a stock-for-stock exchange with a transaction value of approximately $2.1 billion, including the assumption of approximately $0.9 billion of debt.
 
 
    The merger increased our geographical diversity, enhanced our asset quality, and provided a number of financial and operational benefits including a substantial increase in cash flow and liquidity and a lower cost of capital.  As of September 30, 2014, we have approximately $0.5 billion of liquidity if we elected to increase the size of our unsecured revolving credit facility.  Additionally, the merger and subsequent activities have strengthened our balance sheet by improving our debt to EBITDA metrics, lowering our overall borrowing costs, and reducing our development exposure.  The increased cash flow from operations also provides us with additional flexibility to fund future growth initiatives.
 
 
The operational benefits include improved synergies from an expanded platform, redevelopment opportunities, and enhanced relationships with tenants. Additionally, our scalable platform enables us to achieve administrative and operating synergies.  We estimate we will be able to achieve $17 million in savings from Inland Diversified’s operating expense on an annual basis as a result of the termination of certain contracts and other cost savings initiatives.
 
 
The retail portfolio we acquired through the merger with Inland Diversified is comprised of 60 properties in 23 states.  The properties are located in a number of our existing markets and in various new markets including Westchester, New York; Bayonne, New Jersey; Las Vegas, Nevada; Virginia Beach, Virginia; and Salt Lake City, Utah.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, Inland Diversified shareholders received 1.707 newly issued common shares of the Company for each outstanding common share of Inland Diversified, resulting in a total issuance of approximately 50.3 million of our common shares.
 
 
Current Business Environment
 
 
Most elements of the U.S. economy continued to recover during the third quarter of 2014.  The economy continued to create jobs at a consistent pace in September 2014, with 248,000 jobs being added and the unemployment rate declining to 5.9%.  However, uncertainty surrounding regulatory, fiscal, and monetary policy continues to negatively affect job creation, capital pricing, and the cost of doing business.  Additional uncertainty surrounds the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s policy of quantitative easing of the money supply and the long-term effects of maintaining interest rates at historically low levels to encourage consumer and business spending.
 
 
In light of the economic uncertainty noted above, some retailers are considering limited expansion of their businesses while others have expressed optimism through expansion plans and capital allocation decisions.  Where prudent, we will seek to capitalize on our relationships with tenants to maximize our growth opportunities including maximizing our expanded operating platform.  We believe there will continue to be additional leasing opportunities during the remainder of 2014 and into 2015 as tenants seek to lease new space or renew existing space in connection with lease expirations, expansions, and other considerations.  In addition, we have continued to see redevelopment opportunities in our existing properties along with recently acquired properties.

The prolonged uncertainty in the U.S. economy has led to conditions that may continue to impact our business in a number of ways, including soft consumer demand; high levels of tenant bankruptcies; curtailment of operations by certain of our tenants; delays or postponements from entering into long-term leases with us by current or potential tenants; decreased demand for retail space; difficulty in collecting rent from tenants; our need to make rent concessions in light of tenant’s financial difficulties; the possible need to outlay additional capital to assist tenants in the opening of their businesses; and possible termination by our tenants of their leases with us.
 
 
Ongoing Actions Taken to Capitalize on the Current Business Environment
 
 
    In addition to the merger with Inland Diversified, we continue to execute on our strategy to maximize shareholder value, including:
 
 
Capital Activity.  Upon completion of the merger, we amended the terms of our unsecured revolving credit facility and Term Loan.  The borrowing capacity of the unsecured revolving credit facility was increased from $200 million to $500 million, and the interest rates were reduced for both instruments.  These amendments increased the amount of our liquidity to approximately $411 million with an additional $65 million available if the expansion feature on the unsecured revolving credit facility is exercised, providing significant flexibility in funding future acquisition, development and redevelopment activities and maturing debt if appropriate.
 
 
On October 30, 2014, we received investment grade credit ratings of Baa3 from Moody’s Investor Service and BBB- from Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services.  Both credit ratings have a stable outlook.
 
 
Development, and Redevelopment Activities.   During the third quarter of 2014, Field & Stream and Golf Galaxy opened at Phase II of Parkside Town Commons near Raleigh, North Carolina to join a non-owned Target store and Harris Teeter.  Also, during the quarter, Burlington Coat Factory opened at Gainesville Plaza.
 
 
    Operational Activities.  During the third quarter of 2014, we executed 64 new and renewal leases totaling 424,000 square feet.  New leases were signed with 23 tenants for 162,000 square feet of GLA while renewal leases were signed with 41 tenants for 262,000 square feet of GLA.  We achieved a blended rent spread of 14.4% on comparable leases signed in the quarter.
 
 
    Our same property net operating income improved 4.7% and 4.6%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to increased occupancy, rental rate growth, and improved expense recoveries.  In addition, our annualized base rent per square foot improved to $14.98 per square foot as of September 30, 2014 from $13.17 as of September 30, 2013.
 
 
Results of Operations
 
 
At September 30, 2014, we owned interests in 129 properties consisting of 124 retail operating properties (including 15 properties held for sale), two operating office properties and three retail properties under redevelopment. As of this date, we also owned interests in three retail development properties under construction.
 
 
At September 30, 2013, we owned interests in 62 properties consisting of 55 retail operating properties, five retail properties under redevelopment, and two operating office properties. As of this date, we also owned interests in three retail development properties under construction.
 
 
The comparability of results of operations in 2013 and 2014 is significantly affected by our merger with Inland Diversified on July 1, 2014 and by our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities during these periods.  Therefore, we believe it is useful to review the comparisons of our results of operations for these periods in conjunction with the discussion of these activities during those periods, which is set forth below.

Same Property Net Operating Income
 
 
We believe that net operating income (“NOI”) is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and asset impairment, if any. We believe that NOI for our “same properties” (“Same Property NOI”) is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full periods presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance.
 
 
The following table reflects same property net operating income (and reconciliation to net loss attributable to common shareholders) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

    Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) increased $56.7 million, or 188.9%, due to the following:

 
(in thousands)
 
Net change 2013 to 2014
 
Properties acquired through merger with Inland Diversified
  $ 46,166  
Development properties that became operational or were partially

    533  
Properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 and other
    1,185  
Total
  $ 56,654  
 
 
The increase of $1.2 million in rental income for fully operational properties was primarily attributable to anchor tenant openings at certain operating properties and an improvement in expense recoveries from tenants.  For the total portfolio, the overall recovery ratio for reimbursable expenses improved to 86.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 78.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease termination income and gains related to land sales.  This revenue decreased by $0.6 million, primarily as a result of lower lease termination income of $0.4 million.
 
 
    Property operating expenses increased $6.4 million, or 117.5%, due to the following:

    306  
Total
  $ 6,401  

 
The increase of $0.3 million in property operating expenses at properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 was due to higher landscaping and insurance costs.
 
 
    Real estate taxes increased $6.9 million, or 185.5%, due to the following:
 
 
(in thousands)
 
Net change 2013 to 2014

    (13 )
Properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 and other
    245  
Total
  $ 6,908  

 
The net $0.2 million increase in real estate taxes at properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 was due to higher assessments at certain properties in Florida.  The majority of changes in our real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and, therefore, reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.
 
 
General, administrative and other expenses increased $1.8 million, or 86.2%, due to higher public company and personnel costs associated with the completion of the merger with Inland Diversified.
 
 
Merger and acquisition costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 related to our merger with Inland Diversified totaled $19.1 million compared to $0.2 million of costs for property acquisitions incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The majority of the $19.1 million related to investment banking, lender, due diligence, legal, and professional expenses.
 
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $29.0 million, or 188.7%, due to the following:

    (2,069 )
Properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 and other
    160  
Total
  $ 29,009  
 
 
The net $0.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense at properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 was due to an increase in anchor tenant openings.
 
 
Interest expense increased $7.8 million or 104.0%, largely as a result of our assuming $859.6 million of indebtedness as part of the merger with Inland Diversified.
 
 
The allocation to net income of noncontrolling interests increased due to allocations to joint venture partners in certain consolidated properties acquired as part of the merger.  These partners receive a fixed quarterly return from the operations of the properties in which they hold an interest.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease settlement income and gains related to land sales.  This revenue decreased by $3.8 million, primarily as a result of lower gains on land sales of $4.6 million partially offset by higher lease termination income of $0.5 million.
 
 
Property operating expenses increased $10.5 million, or 67.2%, due to the following:

    The net $0.2 million increase in real estate taxes at properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 was due to higher assessments at certain properties in Florida.  The majority of changes in our real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and, therefore, reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.
 
 
General, administrative and other expenses increased $3.3 million, or 54.2%, due primarily to higher public company and personnel costs associated with the merger with Inland Diversified.
 
 
Merger and acquisition costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to our merger with Inland Diversified totaled $26.8 million compared to $0.6 million of costs for property acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The majority of the $26.8 million related to investment banking, lender, due diligence, legal, and professional expenses.

The net increase of $0.6 million in depreciation and amortization expense at properties fully operational during 2013 and 2014 was due to an increase in anchor tenants openings.
 
 
Interest expense increased $9.5 million, or 45.5%.  The increase partially resulted from our assumption of $859.6 million in debt as part of the merger with Inland Diversified.  Further, the increase was due to the transfer of substantial portions of assets at Delray Marketplace, Holly Springs Towne Centre – Phase I, Rangeline Crossing, Four Corner Square, and Parkside Town Commons – Phase I from construction in progress to depreciable fixed assets, which resulted in a reduction in capitalized interest.
 
 
We recorded an impairment charge of $5.4 million related to our Kedron Village operating property for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.   See additional discussion in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a non-cash gain of $1.2 million resulting from the transfer of the Kedron Village assets to the lender in satisfaction of the debt.  See additional discussion in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
The Company had a gain from discontinued operations of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the same period of 2013.  The current year gain from discontinued operations relates to the sale of the 50th and 12th operating property, which was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013.  In the first quarter of 2014, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity and the discontinued operations from the prior year was reported under the former rules.  See additional discussion regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements and the Company’s sales of its Red Bank Commons, Ridge Plaza, 50th and 12th and Zionsville Walgreens operating properties in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 in Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In addition, the Company recorded gains on the sales of its Red Bank Commons, Ridge Plaza and Zionsville Walgreens operating properties of $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to no gain or loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
 
Investment Properties Held for Sale
 
On September 16, 2014, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Inland Real Estate, which provides for the sale of 15 of our operating properties to Inland Real Estate, with the option for the sale of a 16th property.  The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that the Portfolio will be sold to Inland Real Estate in two separate tranches (see Note 10).
 
The 15 operating properties that are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2014 generated total revenue of $7.1 million and net income of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  These properties generated approximately $5.2 million of operating cash flows during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 
Overview
 
 
Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the estimated value of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service.  We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities.
 
 
On October 30, 2014, we received investment grade credit ratings of Baa3 from Moody’s Investor Service and BBB- from Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services.  Both credit ratings have a stable outlook.
 
 
Our Principal Capital Resources
 
 
 For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 38.  In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources.
 
 
As noted above, the merger with Inland Diversified and subsequent activities substantially improved our liquidity position along with reducing our borrowing costs and extending our debt maturities.  The additional cash flows from operations allow us to maintain a balanced approach to growth in order to retain our financial flexibility.
 
 
On July 1, 2014, we amended the terms of our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “amended facility”) and increased the total borrowing capacity from $200 million to $500 million.  The amended terms also include an extension of the maturity date to July 1, 2018, which may be further extended at our option for up to two additional periods of six months, subject to certain conditions, and a reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 140 to 200 basis points, depending on our leverage, from LIBOR plus 165 to 250 basis points.  The amended facility has a fee of 15 to 25 basis points on unused borrowings.  We may increase our borrowings under the amended facility up to $750 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the amended facility, to provide such increased amounts.
 
 
On July 1, 2014, we also amended the terms of the $230 million Term Loan (the “amended Term Loan”).   The amended Term Loan has a maturity date of July 1, 2019, which may be extended for an additional six months at the Company’s option subject to certain conditions.  The interest rate applicable to the amended Term Loan was reduced to LIBOR plus 135 to 190 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage, a decrease of between 10 and 55 basis points across the leverage grid.  The amended Term Loan also provides for an increase in total borrowing of up to an additional $170 million ($400 million in total), subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders.
 
 
As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $380.2 million available for future borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.  In addition, our unencumbered assets could provide approximately $65 million of additional borrowing capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility.
 
 
We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the unsecured revolving credit facility and the amended Term Loan as of September 30, 2014.
 
 
As part of the merger with Inland Diversified we acquired $18.6 million of investments in marketable securities.  In July 2014, we sold all of these investments for a minimal gain.
 
 
Finally, we had $31.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2014.
 
 
Among the benefits we expect to realize from the merger with Inland Diversified is increased cash flow.  In the future, we may raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy.  The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale.  We will also continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities.
 
 
Our Principal Liquidity Needs
 
 
We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest—primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow in uncertain economic times, the recent economic downturn adversely affected the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations.
 
 
 
35

 
 
Short-Term Liquidity Needs
 
 
    Near-Term Debt Maturities. As of September 30, 2014, we had a total of $59.1 million of property-level debt secured by our Delray Marketplace operating property with a scheduled maturity date in the fourth quarter of 2014.  In addition, we have $123 million of debt scheduled to mature prior to September 30, 2015, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments.  We are pursuing financing alternative to enable us to repay, refinance, or extend the maturity date of these loans.
 
 
    Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs.  The nature of our business, coupled with the requirements for qualifying for REIT status and in order to receive a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders, necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis, which will cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments to our common and preferred shareholders and to persons who hold units in our Operating Partnership, and recurring capital expenditures. In September 2014, our Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.26 per common share and common operating partnership unit (totaling $22.1 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.  This distribution was paid on October 13, 2014 to common shareholders of record as of October 6, 2014.  In August 2014, our Board declared a quarterly preferred share cash distribution of $0.515625 per Series A Preferred Share (or $2.1 million) covering the distribution period from June 2, 2014 to September 1, 2014 payable to shareholders of record as of August 22, 2014.  This distribution was paid on September 1, 2014.
 
 
When we lease space to new tenants, or renew leases for existing tenants, we also incur expenditures for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions. These amounts, as well as the amount of recurring capital expenditures that we incur, will vary from period to period.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $1.7 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred $3.8 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions (excluding first generation space and development and redevelopment properties). We currently anticipate incurring approximately $12 million to $14 million of additional major tenant improvements and renovation costs within the next twelve months at several of our operating properties, including properties acquired as part of the merger with Inland Diversified.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund our investment in these projects through cash from operations and borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.  In certain circumstances, we may seek to place specific construction financing on the redevelopment projects.
 
 
As of September 30, 2014, we had four development and redevelopment projects under construction.  The total estimated cost of these projects is approximately $171 million, of which $117 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2014.  We currently anticipate incurring the remaining $54 million of costs over the next eighteen months.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund the projects and expect to do so primarily through existing or new construction loans or borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.
 
 
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
 
 
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the development of new properties, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.
 
 
Redevelopment Properties Pending Commencement of Construction. As of September 30, 2014 two of our properties (Courthouse Shadows and Hamilton Crossing) were undergoing preparation for redevelopment and leasing activity.  We are currently evaluating our total incremental investment in these redevelopment projects of which $0.7 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2014.  Our anticipated total investment could change based upon negotiations with prospective tenants.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund our investment in these projects through borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.  In certain circumstances, we may seek to place specific construction financing on these redevelopment projects.
 
 
Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition and development of other properties, which would require additional capital.  It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements.  We would have to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares, cash generated through property dispositions and/or participation in potential joint venture arrangements.  We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements.  We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, tenant credit quality, tenant relationships, and amount of existing retail space.  Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.

   The Company capitalizes certain indirect costs such as interest, payroll, and other general and administrative costs related to these development activities.  If the Company were to experience a 10% reduction in development activities, without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, the Company would have recorded additional expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

    Failure to comply with our obligations under our loan agreements (including our payment obligations) could cause an event of default under such debt, which, among other things, could result in the loss of title to assets securing such loans, the acceleration of principal and interest payments or the termination of the debt facilities, or exposure to the risk of foreclosure.   In addition, certain of our variable rate loans and construction loans contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by us of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured revolving credit facility agreement will constitute an event of default under the loans, which could allow the lenders to accelerate the amounts due under the loans if we fail to satisfy these financial covenants.  See “Item 1.A Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for more information related to the risks associated with our indebtedness.

Cash Flows
 
 
As of September 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $31.2 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents.  We place our cash and short-term cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions.  While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits.  We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions.  Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.
 
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
 
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $26.5 million from the same period of 2013.  The decrease was primarily due to outflows for merger costs incurred by Inland Diversified prior to the merger that were paid by the Company subsequent to June 30, 2014.
 
 
Cash provided by investing activities was $89.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $183.4 million in the same period of 2013.  Highlights of significant cash sources and uses are as follows:
 
 
·  
Net proceeds of $40.8 million related to the sales of the Red Bank Commons, Ridge Plaza, 50th and 12th and Zionsville Walgreens operating properties in the first and third quarters of 2014 compared to net proceeds of only $7.3 million over the same period in 2013;
·  
Net proceeds of $18.6 million related to the sale of marketable securities in the third quarter of 2014.  These securities were acquired as part of the merger;
·  
Net cash acquired of $108.7 million upon completion of the merger with Inland Diversified.  A portion of this cash was utilized to retire construction loans and other indebtedness while the remainder was retained for working capital including payment of merger related costs;
·  
Acquisition of Toringdon Market, Castleton Crossing, Cool Springs Market, and Shoppes of Eastwood in 2013 for net cash outflow of $102.7 million while there were no acquisitions in the same period of 2014; and
·  
Decrease in capital expenditures of $2.7 million, in addition to a decrease in construction payables of $5.9 million as construction was ongoing at Gainesville Plaza and Parkside Town Commons – Phase II in the third quarter of 2014.  In the third quarter of 2013, there was significant construction activity at Four Corner Square, Parkside Town Commons – Phase I, King’s Lake Square and Holly Springs Towne Center – Phase I, which are all now substantially complete.
 
 
Cash used in financing activities was $86.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $146.1 million in the same period of 2013.  Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in 2014 are as follows:
 
 
·  
In the first quarter, draws totaling $14.7 million were made on the unsecured revolving credit facility that were primarily utilized to fund redevelopment and tenant improvement costs for new anchor tenants;
·  
Draws of $40.5 million were made on construction loans related to Parkside Town Commons, Delray Marketplace, and Rangeline Crossing;
·  
In March, the Company paid down its unsecured revolving credit facility by $14.7 million utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its Ridge Plaza operating property;

·  
Distributions to preferred shareholders of $6.3 million.
 
 
Funds From Operations
 
 
Funds From Operations (“FFO”), is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) and related revisions, which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as consolidated net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, less preferred dividends, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for third-party shares of appropriate items.
 
 
 
38

 
 
 
Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in consolidated net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales and impairment of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for 2014 costs associated with the merger with Inland Diversified, accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees in 2013, and a non-cash gain on debt extinguishment in 2013.  We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance.  We believe that our presentation of adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and compared to our peers.  FFO should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs.
 
 
Our calculation of FFO (and reconciliation to consolidated net income or loss, as applicable) and adjusted FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited) is as follows:

“Funds From Operations of the Kite Portfolio” measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties and construction and service subsidiaries in which the Company owns an interest. “Funds From Operations allocable to the Company” reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.
 
 
Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization
 
 
We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense of taxable REIT subsidiary, gains (losses) on sales of operating properties, other expenses. For informational purposes, we have also provided Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA less (i) minority interest EBITDA and (ii) merger costs.  Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, are not comparable to EBITDA reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.

Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because they exclude various items included in net income or loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as impairments of operating properties and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe presenting EBITDA in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of our operating results.
 
 
A reconciliation of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to net loss (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) is included in the below table.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
 
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that in our opinion have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  We do, however, have certain obligations related to some of the projects in our operating and development properties.

Contractual Obligations
 
 
Except with respect to our debt maturities as discussed on page 31, there have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
 
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
 
Market Risk Related to Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
 
 
We had $1.7 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of September 30, 2014 (inclusive of net premiums on acquired debt of $31.7 million). As of this date, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $456.3 million, with maturities over various terms from 2014 through 2020.  Including the effects of these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been $1.4 billion (83%) and $285.0 million (17%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at September 30, 2014.
 
 
We have $38.8 million of fixed rate debt maturing within the next twelve months.  A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would not materially impact the annual cash flows associated with these loans.  A 100 basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of September 30, 2014 would change our annual cash flow by $2.9 million.  Based upon the terms of our variable rate debt, we are most vulnerable to change in short-term LIBOR interest rates.  The sensitivity analysis was estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates adjusted by 100 basis points.


Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
 
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
Part II. Other Information
 
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
 
 
The Company is party to various legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. None of these actions are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows taken as a whole.
