REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Winthrop
Realty Trust (the “REIT”) is an unincorporated association in the
form of a business trust organized in Ohio under a Declaration of Trust dated
August 1, 1961, as amended and restated on December 31, 2005, which has as its
stated principal business activity the ownership and management of, and lending
to, real estate and related investments.
The REIT
conducts its business through WRT Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the “Operating Partnership”). The REIT is the sole general partner of, and owns
directly and indirectly, 100% of the limited partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership. The transfer of the REIT’s assets and liabilities to the
Operating Partnership had no effect on the REIT’s financial
statements. All references to the “Trust” refer to the REIT and its
consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.
The Trust
is engaged in the business of owning real property and real estate related
assets which it categorizes into three specific areas: (i) direct or
indirect ownership of operating properties (“operating properties”); (ii)
origination and acquisition of loans and debt securities secured directly or
indirectly by commercial real property (“loan assets and loan securities”),
including collateral mortgage-backed securities and collateral debt obligation
securities; and (iii) equity and debt interests in other REITs (“REIT
securities”).

Summary
of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements, although management believes that the disclosures presented herein
are adequate to make the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited consolidated
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
REIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008
filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair
statements have been included. The results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements represent the
consolidated results of the REIT, its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, WRT
TRS Management Corp., the Operating Partnership, wholly-owned subsidiaries and
certain partially-owned entities in which the Operating Partnership owns either
(i) a controlling interest or (ii) is the primary beneficiary. All
significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The Trust accounts
for its investments in companies in which it has the ability to significantly
influence, but does not have a controlling interest, by using the equity method
of accounting.
Reverse Stock
Split
In
November 2008 the Trust effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the
"Reverse Split") of its Common Shares of Beneficial Interest (“Common Shares”)
pursuant to which each five Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the close
of the market on November 28, 2008 were automatically combined into one
Common Share, subject to the elimination of fractional shares. All
references to Common Shares outstanding, per Common Share amounts and stock
option data have been restated to reflect the effect of the Reverse Split
for all periods presented.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current
year’s presentation. Discontinued operations for the three month
period ended March 31, 2008 include the Trust’s property in Biloxi,
Mississippi. Also during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Trust
placed its St. Louis, Missouri property back into continuing
operations.

TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Variable Interest
Entities
The Trust
has evaluated its investments to determine whether they constitute a
variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). FIN 46
requires a VIE to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary
(“PB”). The PB is the party that absorbs a majority of the VIE’s
anticipated losses and/or a majority of the expected returns.
In
December 2008 the Trust adopted FASB Staff Position FAS 140-4 (“FSP FAS 140-4”)
and FIN 46(R)-8 (“FIN 46R-8”),
Disclosures by Public Entities
(Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable
Interest Entities.
Among other things FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8
require enhanced disclosure with respect to variable interest entities
to provide financial statements users with an understanding of the significant
judgments and assumptions made by the Trust in its determination of whether it
must consolidate variable interest entities.
At March
31, 2009 the Trust has identified five convertible mezzanine loans related to
the Marc Realty portfolio to be variable interests in a VIE. The
Trust has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the underlying
borrowing entity of one of these mezzanine loans and consolidates this
investment. The Trust has determined that it is not the primary
beneficiary of the underlying borrowing entities of the other four mezzanine
loans as it does not anticipate absorbing a majority of the expected losses due
to its preferred return position. These loans, with a carrying value
of $3,923,000 net of other-than-temporary impairment charges of $3,331,000, are
accounted for as preferred equity in the Trust’s consolidated balance
sheet.
Earnings Per
Share
The Trust
has calculated earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No.128, “
Earnings Per Share
,”
and EITF 03-06
“
Participating Securities and the Two
Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128 Earnings Per
Share
.” SFAS No.128 requires that Common Share equivalents be
excluded from the weighted-average shares outstanding for the calculation of
basic earnings per share. EITF 03-06 requires that computation of
earnings per share reflect the impact of participating
securities. The holders of the Series B-1 Cumulative Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Series B-1 Preferred Shares”) are entitled to
receive cumulative preferential dividends equal to the greater of (i) 6.5% of
the liquidation preference or (ii) cash dividends paid on the Common
Shares.
The
reconciliation of Common Shares outstanding for the basic and diluted earnings
per share calculation is as follows (in thousands, except per share

Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
In
November 2008, EITF Issue No. 08-6, “
Equity Method Investment Accounting
Considerations”
(“EITF 08-6”), was ratified. EITF 08-6
addresses questions about the potential effect of FASB Statement No. 141R,
“
Business Combinations,”
and FASB Statement No. 160,
“Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51, on Equity Method
Accounting Under APB 18.”
EITF 08-6 generally continues
existing practices under APB 18, including the use of a cost-accumulation
approach to initial measurement of the investment. EITF 08-6 does not
require the investor to perform a separate impairment test on the underlying
assets of an equity method investment. However, an equity method
investor is required to recognize its proportionate share of impairment charges
recognized by the investee, adjusted for basis differences, if any, between the
investee’s carrying amount for the impaired assets and the cost allocated to
such assets by the investor. The investor is also required to perform
an overall other-than-temporary impairment test of its investment in accordance
with APB 18. EITF 08-6 was effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is
applied prospectively. The implementation of EITF 08-6 on January 1,
2009 did not have a material impact on the Trust’s consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2008 FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, "
Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities"
( "FSP EITF 03-6-1" ) was issued which states that share-based payment awards
which entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends before vesting
should be considered participating securities. As participating securities,
these instruments should be included in the calculation of basic earnings per
share. FAS EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within
those years. The Trust has adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 which had no impact on
the Trust’s calculation of basic earnings per share.
In June
2008 EITF Issue 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded Feature)
is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“FSP EITF 07-5”) was
ratified. Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 specifies that a contract that
would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to
the company’s own stock and (b) classified in shareholder’s equity in the
statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial
instrument. FSP EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied
in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed
to an issuer’s own stock and thus be able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph
11(a) scope exception. FSP EITF 07-5 is effective on January 1,
2009. The Trust has adopted FSP EITF 07-5 which had no impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In May
2008 FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, "
Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including
Partial
Settlement
)" ("FSP APB
14-1"), was issued which clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be
settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not
addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, "
Accounting for Convertible Debt and
Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants
." Additionally, FSP APB 14-1
specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the
liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Trust has adopted FSP APB 14-1 which had no impact on
its consolidated financial statements.

In March
2008 Statement No. 161, “
Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
” (“SFAS 161”), was issued which is
intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging
activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better
understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial
performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Trust has adopted SFAS
161 which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2008 FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) on
“Accounting Transfers of Financial
Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions”
(“FSP FAS 140-3.”), was
issued which addresses the issue of whether or not repurchase financing
transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one “linked”
transaction. FSP FAS 140-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 and applies only to original transfers made after that date;
early adoption is not allowed. The Trust has adopted FSP FAS 140-3 which had no
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007 Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “
Business Combinations
” (“SFAS
141(R)”), was issued. The objective of SFAS 141(R) is to improve the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination
and its effects. To accomplish that, SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer: (i) recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase,
(iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination and (iv) provides that transaction costs will be expensed. This
statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on
or after December 15, 2008; early adoption is not allowed. The Trust has
adopted SFAS 141(R) which had no impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007 Statement No. 160, “
Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51”
(“SFAS
160”), was issued which establishes and expands accounting and reporting
standards for entities that have outstanding minority interests, which are
re-characterized as non-controlling interests, in a subsidiary. It requires
consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also
requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
non-controlling interest. Previously, net income attributable to the
non-controlling interest generally was reported as an expense in arriving at
consolidated net income. SFAS 160 results in more transparent reporting of the
net income attributable to non-controlling interests and is effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The effective date of this Statement is the same as that of
the related Statement 141(R); early adoption is not allowed.
The
adoption of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009 resulted in (i) the reclassification of
minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries to non-controlling interests in
consolidated subsidiaries, a component of permanent equity on our consolidated
balance sheets, (ii) the reclassification of minority interest expense to net
income attributable to non-controlling interests on our consolidated statements
of operations, and (iii) additional disclosures, including a consolidated
statement of changes in partners’ equity in quarterly reporting
periods.
In April
2009 FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “
Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”
(“FSP FAS 115-2” and “FAS 124-2”) was
issued. This FSP expands and increases the frequency of existing
disclosures about other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities. It
requires a more detailed, risk-oriented breakdown of major security types and
related information currently required by SFAS No. 115. In addition, FSP 115-2
and 124-2 requires that the annual disclosures in SFAS No. 115 and FSP FAS 115-1
and FAS 124-1, “
The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments
,” be made for interim periods (including the aging of
securities with unrealized losses). This FSP also requires new disclosures to
help users of financial statements understand the significant inputs used in
determining a credit loss, as well as a rollforward of that amount each period.
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods
ending after March 15, 2009. The Trust did not elect early adoption and is

when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have

circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP
emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation
technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same –
that is, the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or
distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under
current market conditions. Accordingly, this FSP does not apply to quoted prices
for an identical asset or liability in an active market (that is, a Level 1
input). This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending
after June 15, 2009, early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March

to require disclosures about fair value of financial
instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well
as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28,
“

”
to require those
disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting
periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 applies to all financial instruments
within the scope of SFAS No. 107 held by publicly traded companies. FSP
FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require disclosure in interim reporting periods and
annual reporting periods of the fair value of all financial instruments for
which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not
recognized in the statement of financial position, as required under SFAS No.
107, including disclosure of the method(s) and significant assumptions used to
estimate the fair value of financial instruments, including any changes
therein. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15,
2009 and does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for
comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption,
this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial
adoption. The Trust did not elect early adoption and is evaluating the

Fair
Value Measurement
|
On
January 1, 2008 the Trust adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, “
Fair Value
Measurements”
(“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 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. Cash equivalents, derivative
financial instruments, available for sale securities, and securities carried at
fair value are reported at fair value.
SFAS No.
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 the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant
assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 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 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Trust has 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, foreign exchange 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. The Trust’s 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.
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level 1
securities include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and
exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair
values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with
similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments,
which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy,
include certain derivative financial instruments. In cases where there is
limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities
are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified
within Level 3 include, for example, residual interests in securitizations and
other less liquid securities.
In
October 2008 FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3 ("FSP FAS 157-3"), “
Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market For That Asset is Not Active,
” was
adopted which provides clarification that determination of fair value in an
inactive market depends on facts and circumstances and may require the use of
significant judgment to determine whether certain individual transactions are
forced liquidations or distressed sales. In cases where the volume and level of
trading activity for an asset has declined significantly, the available prices
vary significantly over time or among market participants, or the prices are not
current, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require significant
adjustment. In addition, FSP FAS 157-3 also clarifies that broker or pricing
service quotes may be appropriate inputs when measuring fair value, but are not
necessarily determinative if an active market does not exist for the financial
asset. Regardless of the valuation techniques used, FSP FAS 157-3 requires that
an entity include appropriate risk adjustments that market participants would
make for nonperformance and liquidity risks. The Trust has always considered
nonperformance and liquidity risks in its analysis of loan and collateral
underlying its securities and does not believe the adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had
a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The
following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments
measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such
instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Recurring
Measurements
Cash
Equivalents
The
Trust’s cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The types of
instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets
include most U.S. government treasury bills with original maturities of less
than 90 days and money market securities acquired through overnight
sweeps.
Available
for Sale Securities
Where
quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified
within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. At March 31, 2009 all of the Trust’s
available for sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation
hierarchy.
Securities
Carried at Fair Value
At March
31, 2009 all of the Trust’s securities carried at fair value are classified
within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The Trust
uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of
these instruments is determined using both quantitative and qualitative
valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected
cash flows of each derivative as well as potential credit risks with the swap
counterparty. 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
interest rate swaps are 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.

REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To comply
with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Trust incorporates credit valuation
adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the
respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In
adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of
nonperformance risk, the Trust has considered the impact of netting as well as
any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds,
mutual puts and guarantees.
Although
the Trust has 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 its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2009, the
Trust assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation
adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has
determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the
overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Trust has determined that
the derivative valuations in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of
the fair value hierarchy.
The table
below presents the Trust’s assets and liabilities as of March 31,
2009, measured at fair value, aggregated by the level in the fair

Non-Recurring
Measurements
Preferred
Equity and Equity Investments
The valuation of preferred equity and
equity investments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques
including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each asset
as well as the income capitalization approach considering prevailing market
capitalization rates. The Trust reviews each investment based on the
highest and best use of the investment and market participation
assumptions. The significant assumptions include the discount rate
used in the income capitalization valuation and interest rate
volatility. The Trust has determined that the significant inputs used
to value its equity investments with a fair value of $55,183,000 at March 31,
2009 fall within Level 3. The Trust determined that there were no
valuation adjustments on these assets during the first quarter of 2009.
The Trust has determined that the
significant inputs used to value certain of its preferred equity investments

Fair
Value Option
SFAS No.
159, “
The Fair Value Option
For Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,”
(“SFAS 159”)
provides a fair value option election that allows companies to irrevocably elect
fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain
financial assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value for assets and
liabilities for which the election is made will be recognized in earnings on a
quarterly basis based on the then market price regardless of whether such assets
or liabilities have been disposed of at such time. SFAS 159
permits the fair value option election on an instrument by instrument basis at
initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to
a new basis of accounting for that instrument. The Trust has elected
the fair value option for all securities acquired subsequent to September 30,
2008.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, the Trust recognized a net unrealized loss of
$11,148,000 as a result of the change in fair value of the financial assets for
which the fair value option was elected, which is recorded as an unrealized loss
in the Trust’s statement of operations. Income related to securities
carried at fair value are recorded as interest and dividend income.
The
following table presents the Trust's financial instruments for which the fair

Preferred
Stock
In
January 2009 the Trust acquired for $17,081,000 917,105 Series B-1 Preferred
Shares at a discount from their liquidation value of $25 per
share. The Trust determined that the repurchase of the Series B-1
Preferred Shares qualified as extinguishment of debt pursuant to the guidance of
FAS 140, “
Accounting For the
Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Liabilities,”
(“FAS 140”)
and recorded a gain from the early extinguishment of debt pursuant to APB 26 of
approximately $5,237,000, net of unamortized issuance costs of
$609,000. As of March 31, 2009, there are 1,496,000 Series B-1
Preferred Shares outstanding.
Acquisitions &
Dispositions of REIT securities
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Trust acquired senior debentures with
a face value of approximately $25,401,000 at a cost of approximately
$16,433,000, preferred shares at a cost of approximately $8,947,000 and common
shares at a cost of approximately $288,000.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Trust sold senior debentures with an
original cost basis of $4,324,000 and a fair value of $4,560,000 and received
net proceeds of approximately $4,538,000, preferred shares with an original cost
basis of $1,644,000 and a fair value of $1,857,000 for net proceeds of
approximately $1,792,000 and common shares with an original cost basis of
$410,000 and a fair value of $637,000 for net proceeds of approximately
$637,000. The difference between the original cost basis and the fair
value represents the unrealized gain or loss recognized pursuant to SFAS 159
during the holding period of the securities. The Trust recognized a
net loss on the sale of these securities of approximately $87,000, exclusive of
any interest or dividends earned.
River
City
The Trust
received a one-year extension of its mortgage loan of $9,500,000 on its River
City property. The terms of the extension require monthly payments of
interest only at a fixed rate of 6% with a new maturity of March 28,
2010. The renewal was subject to a $200,000 principal payment which
was made in April.
Note Payable
Payoff
At
December 31, 2008 the Trust had a $9,800,000 loan payable to Citibank, which
bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and matured in December 2011. The
loan was made in connection with the Trust’s purchase during 2008 of 3,500,000
common shares of Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”). The loan
required monthly payments of interest only and was subject to margin calls if
the loan balance compared to the fair value of the common shares exceeded
57.5%. The Trust paid the loan off in full in March
2009.
All of
the Trust’s loans identified as being impaired under the provisions of SFAS No.
114 are collateral dependent loans and are evaluated for impairment by comparing
the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell to the carrying
value of each loan. Due to the unique nature of each individual
property collateralizing the Trust’s loans, the Trust uses the income approach
through internally developed valuation models to estimate the fair value of the
collateral. This approach requires the Trust to make significant
judgments with respect to discount rates and the timing and amounts of estimated
future cash flows that are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with SFAS No.
157. These cash flows include costs of completion, operating costs
and lot and unit sale prices.

Preferred Equity Investments –
Marc Realty
|
At March
31, 2009, the Marc Realty portfolio consisted of two participating second
mortgage loans and 19 convertible mezzanine loans, together with an equity
investment in each mezzanine borrower, in the aggregate amount of approximately
$49,497,000, net of impairments of $7,513,000. The second mortgage
and mezzanine loans contain conversion rights which may be exercised by either
the Trust or Marc Realty. Each loan is collateralized by the
applicable borrower's ownership interest in a limited liability company (each a
"Property Owner") that in turn owns an office building or complex primarily in
the Chicago business district or suburban area. Each borrower holds a
100% interest in the applicable Property Owner. Eighteen of the loans bear
interest at 7.65%, three of the loans bear interest at 8.5%, all of the loans
mature on April 18, 2012 and require monthly payments of interest
only. The Trust recognized earnings from preferred equity
investments, exclusive of Class B equity payments, of $1,015,000 and $1,371,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
connection with the equity interest acquired in each of the borrowers, the Trust
is entitled to participate in capital proceeds derived from the sale or
refinancing of the applicable property, to the extent that such proceeds exceed
all of the debt encumbering the property, including a return to Marc Realty of
its deemed equity (i.e. the agreed value of the applicable property at inception
of the loans, less all debt encumbering the property, including any loan made by
the Trust) plus a 7.65% or 8.5% return thereon, as applicable.
On March
20, 2008, one of the properties in the Marc Realty portfolio, 999 East Touhy,
Chicago, in which the Trust held a 7.65% convertible mezzanine loan and a
preferred interest, was sold to an unaffiliated third party. The
Trust received $1,706,000, exclusive of interest, on its original investment of
$736,000. The Trust recognized additional equity income of $959,000
with respect to this sale.

Concord
General
In March
2006, the Trust together with Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc. (“Newkirk”) formed
Concord Debt Holdings, LLC (“Concord”) for the purpose of acquiring and
originating a diversified portfolio of real estate loans and
securities. In connection with the merger of Newkirk into Lexington,
Lexington acquired Newkirk’s interest in Concord. Both the Trust and
Lexington committed to invest $162,500,000 in Concord, all of which was
contributed as of March 31, 2009.
Lex-Win
Concord LLC (“Lex-Win Concord”) was created on August 2, 2008. In
connection with the formation of Lex-Win Concord, both the Trust and Lexington
contributed to Lex-Win Concord their 50% interests in Concord and WRP Management
LLC (“WRP Management”), the entity that provides management services to Concord
Real Estate CDO 2006-1, Ltd. (“CDO-1”). In conjunction with this
formation, the limited liability company agreement of Concord was amended and
restated to admit Inland America Concord Sub LLC (“Inland”) with a redeemable
preferred membership interest in Concord. Inland has committed to
invest up to $100,000,000 in Concord over a 12-18 month period, subject to
certain conditions, of which $76,000,000 was contributed as of March 31,
2009. Lex-Win Concord holds 100% of the common membership interests
in Concord and serves as its managing member.
Lex-Win
Concord determined that, at the time of its formation and transfer of interests
from the Trust and Lexington to Lex-Win Concord, both Concord and Lex-Win
Concord were under the common control of the Trust and Lexington. As
a result, Lex-Win Concord has accounted for the formation of and the related
transfer of membership interests under the guidance of FASB Statement No. 141,
“Business
Combinations”
(“SFAS 141”), for entities under common
control. Among other things, SFAS 141 requires that Lex-Win Concord,
the entity receiving equity interests, initially recognize the assets and
liabilities at their carrying amounts at the date of transfer and report results
of operations as though the transfer occurred at the beginning of the
period. In addition, SFAS 141 requires that financial statements for
prior years be restated to present comparative
information. Accordingly, the results of operations presented herein
comprise those of Concord and Lex-Win Concord for the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008.
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
With
respect to the Trust's investment in Lex-Win Concord, the Trust determined that
Lex-Win Concord is not a VIE pursuant to FIN 46(R). The Trust further evaluated
its investment in Lex-Win Concord pursuant to the requirements of EITF 04-5 and
SOP 78-9, “
Accounting for
Investments in Real Estate Ventures”
("SOP 78-9") and determined that it
and Lexington share equally in the control of Lex-Win Concord and in Concord's
operations. Accordingly, the Trust accounts for its investment under the equity
method.
At
December 31, 2008, as the result of market conditions, including the changes in
interest rate spreads and lack of financing available, the Trust assessed
whether the fair value of its equity investment in Lex-Win Concord was below the
carrying value after giving effect to the operating loss for the quarter at
Concord. In making this determination, the Trust considered the
length of time and extent to which the decline has occurred, the lack of
indication by the credit markets as to when there will be a recovery, the
expectation that Lex-Win Concord will not pay distributions to the Trust in the
near future and the cash position of Lex-Win Concord. The Trust
determined the fair value of Lex-Win Concord utilizing a leveraged cash flow
methodology whereby cash flows were projected through 2016, the expected term of
CDO-1. Those cash flows were then modified based on changes to varying
assumptions and cash flow scenarios were calculated. Each cash flow
scenario was discounted at various market rates of return and a probability was
assigned to each scenario. Based on the foregoing, all of which
requires significant judgment, and after giving effect to the operating loss for
the quarter at Concord, the Trust concluded that the decline in value was other
than temporary and the Trust recognized an impairment loss of $36,543,000. The
Trust performed a similar assessment at March 31, 2009 and determined that no
additional impairment loss was necessary during the three months ended March 31,
2009.
On
December 31, 2008, the Trust and Lexington each advanced proceeds of $5,000,000
to Lex-Win Concord pursuant to short-term demand notes bearing interest at
1.36%. These notes were subsequently repaid to each of the Trust and
Lexington in January 2009.
Valuation
of Concord Assets
Loan
Securities
Concord
has a portfolio of loan securities which includes investments in CDO
securities, CMBS, and rake bonds. Such bonds are accounted for as available for
sale securities and, accordingly, are marked to market on a quarterly basis
based upon management’s assessment of fair value.
Concord
evaluates its portfolio of available for sale debt securities for
other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with EITF 99-20, “
Recognition of Interest Income and
Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That
Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets
”
("EITF 99-20"), FASB Statement No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities
("SFAS 115") and the related interpretation
of FASB Staff Position FAS 115-1/124-1,
“The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”
(“FSP FAS
115-1”). At each measurement date, management first determines
whether the securities are impaired by comparing the carrying value of each
security to the estimated fair value of each security as determined in
accordance with SFAS No. 157. Next, for impaired securities,
management determines whether such impairment is other-than-temporary in
nature. Determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily
impaired requires significant judgment. Management considers both
quantitative and qualitative factors, including those described in SFAS 115 and
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5M,
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
(“SAB Topic
5M”). Among other things, this evaluation includes consideration of
the length of time and extent to which the fair value of a security has been
less than its cost basis, Concord’s intent and ability to hold the securities
until a forecasted recovery in value and the financial prospects of the loans
and collateral underlying the securities. If, based on these and other
considerations, management determines that impairment is other-than-temporary in
nature, Concord recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between
the investment’s cost basis and its fair value.
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Due to
the persistent lack of liquidity in the credit markets over the past two years,
Concord’s assets experienced continued declines in the fair value of its
available for sale securities. Through December 31, 2008, Concord has
recorded other-than-temporary impairment on its loan securities of
$84,860,000. Management has identified additional declines in fair
value of $2,931,000 on its loan securities at March 31,
2009. Based on its analysis of qualitative and quantitative factors,
Concord has recognized an impairment loss of $881,000 as this decline has
been considered to be other-than-temporary in nature. The
remaining decline of $2,050,000 is considered temporary and such amounts have
been included in other comprehensive income.
Concord
recognizes income on its portfolio of loan securities in accordance with EITF
99-20. Subject to various requirements, discounts attributable to previously
recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges are recognized in interest
income on the effective interest method based upon the excess of all estimated
prospective cash flows over the investment balance in the loan security at the
measurement date. For these securities, Concord will accrete the
impairment discount over the remaining life of the securities using the
effective interest method, resulting in income recognition of $639,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. Concord did not recognize in
earnings any material amounts relating to the accretion of other-than-temporary
impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
As of
December 31, 2008 Concord adopted FASB Staff Position EITF 99-20-1,
“Amendments to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”
(“FSP 99-20-1”), which is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2008. FSP
99-20-1 retains the objective of other-than-temporary impairment assessment and
disclosures as discussed in SFAS 115 and other related guidance. The
adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial
statements.
Real
Estate Debt Investments
Concord
has historically considered its real estate debt investments as held for
investment or held to maturity. Such investments are recorded at
cost. Discounts and premiums on purchased assets are amortized over
the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The
amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income. Other
costs incurred in connection with acquiring loans, such as marketing and
administrative costs, are charged to expense as incurred.
Concord
considers a real estate debt investment (“loan”) impaired when, based upon
current information and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect
all amounts due for both principal and interest according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement. Concord recognizes loan impairments in accordance
with the guidance under SFAS No. 114, “
Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan,”
(“SFAS 114”)
which requires that a
creditor recognize impairment of a loan if the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, alternatively,
the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral is
less than the recorded investment in the loan. Concord believes its
loans are collateral dependent and, accordingly, utilizes the fair value of the
loan collateral when assessing its loans for impairment. If the fair
value of the collateral is equal to or greater than the recorded investment in
the loan, no impairment is recognized. Specific valuation allowances
are established for impaired loans based on the fair value of collateral on an
individual loan basis. The fair value of the collateral is determined by
selecting the most appropriate valuation methodology. The methodologies include
the evaluation of operating cash flow from the collateral during the projected
holding period, and the estimated sales value of the collateral computed by
applying an expected
capitalization rate to the
stabilized net operating income of the specific property, less selling costs,
discounted at market discount rates.
If upon
completion of the valuation, the fair value of the underlying collateral
securing the impaired loan is less than the net carrying value of the loan, a
reserve is created with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.
The reserve for each loan is maintained at a level believed adequate to absorb
probable losses.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
addition an unallocated loss contingency reserve is established to cover
performing loans and loan losses are recorded when (i) available information
indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred in the portfolio and (ii) the
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 5,
“
Accounting for
Contingencies
” (“SFAS 5”). Required reserve balances for the performing
loan portfolio are derived from probabilities of principal loss and loss given
default estimates assigned to the portfolio as part of Concord’s quarterly
internal risk rating assessment. Probabilities of principal loss and severity
factors are based on industry and/or internal experience and may be adjusted for
significant factors that, based on management’s judgment, impact the
collectability of the loans. Pursuant to SFAS 114 and SFAS 5, Concord recognized
a provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of
$2,500,000, of which the Trust’s share was $1,250,000, increasing the reserve
for losses on real estate debt investments to $33,553,000 at March 31,
2009. Concord recognized no loss provision for the three months ended
March 31, 2008.
In March
2009, Concord received an approximate $35,000,000 margin call from Column
Financial, Inc. (“Column”). On April 14, 2009, Concord restructured
its repurchase agreement with Column such that (i) no additional loans may be
obtained under the facility, (ii) Column withdrew its March 2009 margin call and
is not permitted to make a margin call except in a limited instance until March
31, 2010, (iii) the agreement terminates on December 31, 2010, and (iv) Concord
is required to maintain certain financial ratios. The modification
also requires Concord to reduce the outstanding loan balance by $10,700,000 in
April 2009 and an additional $47,500,000 by May 31,
2009. Additionally, Concord must reduce the outstanding balance under
the repurchase agreement by an additional $21,275,000 to $80,000,000 by
September 30, 2009 and to $60,000,000 by December 31, 2009. In order
to comply with the required reductions of the outstanding balance, Concord
expects to sell certain assets pledged under the Column
agreement. Accordingly, Concord has identified eight loans to be
sold. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 65,
“
Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities,”
Concord has reported these loans as held
for sale at the lower of cost or fair value and has recorded a loss reserve on
real estate debt investments held for sale of $36,908,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 2009.
Should
Concord be unable to sell assets or consummate other activities it is pursuing
to meet its obligations, Concord may incur a default under its debt agreements
which would negatively affect the Trust’s ability to recover its entire
investment in Concord which was recorded at $55,183,000 at March 31,
2009.
During
April 2009, in conjunction with the restructuring of its repurchase agreement,
Concord sold a real estate debt investment with a face amount of $17,000,000 for
its adjusted fair value of $10,700,000. Proceeds from the sale were
used to reduce the amount due on the Column repurchase agreement.

was subject to this repurchase agreement was added to the multiple loan
asset repurchase agreement. The multiple loan asset repurchase
agreement was modified to provide that the interest rate, maturity date
and advance rate, with respect to the asset added to the multiple loan
asset repurchase facility, would remain as it was under the specific
repurchase agreement.

Repurchase
Facilities
Under the
terms of the repurchase facility with Column, Concord was required to maintain
minimum liquidity, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, of at least
$10,000,000 at all times. At certain times during the year ended
December 31, 2008 and at certain times during the three months ended March 31,
2009, Concord’s cash balance declined to an amount below the $10,000,000 minimum
liquidity requirements. In February 2009 this requirement was
eliminated from the Column repurchase facility and Concord’s prior failure to
comply was waived.
Under the
repurchase facilities with Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, Concord has a similar
$10,000,000 minimum liquidity requirement. In February 2009 Concord
received a waiver of the covenant violation from the Royal Bank of Scotland
through June 30, 2009.
KeyBank
Credit Facility
On March
7, 2008 Concord entered into a $100,000,000 secured revolving credit facility
with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”). The credit facility
enables Concord to finance existing unlevered assets as well as new assets
acquired by Concord. The initial maximum aggregate borrowing under
the loan is $100,000,000. Borrowings under the facility bear interest
at spreads over LIBOR ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, depending on the underlying
loan asset or loan security for which such borrowing is made. At
March 31, 2009, the weighted average interest rate was 2.72%, and the carrying
value of loan assets and loan securities securing the facility was approximately
$135,982,000. The facility matures March 2010 subject to a one-year
extension.
Under the
terms of the line of credit facility with KeyBank, Concord is required to
maintain minimum liquidity, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, of at least
$10,000,000 at all times. At certain times during the year ended
December 31, 2008 and at certain times during the three months ended March 31,
2009, Concord’s cash balances declined to an amount below the $10,000,000
liquidity requirements. On February 24, 2009 Concord received from
KeyBank a waiver of the covenant violation through June 30, 2009.

TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
Payable
At
December 31, 2008, the Trust had a $9,800,000 note payable to Citibank, bearing
interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and maturing in December 2011. The loan
was made in connection with the Trust’s purchase during 2008 of 3,500,000 common
shares of Lexington Realty Trust, and was repaid in March 2009.

|
Revolving
Line of Credit
|
The Trust
has a line of credit with KeyBank pursuant to which the Trust can borrow on a
revolving basis up to $35,000,000. The revolving credit line matures
December 16, 2010 with the option by the Trust to extend the term for an
additional year. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear
interest at LIBOR plus 3.0%. To the extent the Trust maintains cash
balances at KeyBank in excess of a certain threshold, the interest rate is
reduced to LIBOR plus 2.25%. There were no advances under the line
during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The Trust is required to pay
a commitment fee on the unused portion of the line, which amounted to
approximately $22,000 and $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
The
revolving line of credit requires the Trust to maintain (i) a minimum
consolidated debt service coverage ratio, (ii) a maximum leverage ratio, (iii)
liquid assets of $17,500,000 and (iv) a minimum net worth. The
revolving credit line is secured by substantially all of the Trust’s
assets. The revolving credit line requires monthly payments of
interest only. To the extent that the amounts outstanding under the
facility are in excess of the borrowing base (as calculated), the Trust is
required to make a principal payment to reduce such excess. The Trust may prepay
from time to time without premium or penalty and re-borrow amounts
prepaid. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Trust was in
compliance with its covenants and there were no amounts outstanding under the
facility.
11.
|
Derivative Financial
Instruments
|
The Trust
has exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. The Trust
seeks to limit its risk to interest rate fluctuations through match financing on
our assets as well as through hedging transactions. Specifically, the
Trust enters into derivative financial instruments.
The
Trust’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to
interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate
movements. To accomplish this objective, the Trust primarily uses
interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management
strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve
the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the
Trust making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without
exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The
effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap designated
and that qualifies as a cash flow hedge is recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the
period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects
earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
interest rate swap was used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with
existing variable-rate debt. The Trust also assesses and documents,
both at the hedging instruments inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the
derivative instrument is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the
cash flows attributable to the hedged item. The Trust has recorded
changes in fair value related to the effective portion of its interest rate swap
contract designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges totaling $176,000 of
increased interest expense and $583,000 of decreased interest expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as a component of
other liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive loss withn the Trust’s
consolidated balance sheets.

On August
8, 2008 a petition for the condemnation of a shopping center asset located in
St. Louis, Missouri aggregating 46,000 square feet was dismissed by a Missouri
Court. As a result, the operations for this property, which were
previously classified as discontinued operations, are classified as income from

Commitment
and Contingencies
|
The Trust
is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including
disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell
properties. Given the nature of the Trust’s business activities,
these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its
business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted
because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its
adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Trust does not expect
that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions
will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
activities of the Trust and its subsidiaries are administered by FUR Advisors
LLC (“FUR Advisors”) pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement between the
Trust and FUR Advisors. FUR Advisors is controlled by and partially
owned by the executive officers of the Trust. Pursuant to the terms of the
Advisory Agreement, FUR Advisors is responsible for providing asset
management services to the Trust and coordinating with the Trust’s shareholder
transfer agent and property managers. FUR Advisors is entitled to
receive a base management fee and an incentive fee. In addition, FUR
Advisors or its affiliate is also entitled to receive property and construction
management fees.
Base
Management Fee
In March
2009 the base management fee was modified effective as of January 1,
2009. As modified, the asset based fee calculation has been
eliminated and the equity based fee is based on a price of $11.00 per Common
Share outstanding at January 1, 2009 and $25.00 per Series B-1 Preferred Share
with respect to the 1,496,000 Series B-1 Preferred Shares outstanding after
giving effect to the repurchases of Series B-1 Preferred Shares during the
fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. Any additional
future conversions, redemptions or repurchases of the Series B-1 Preferred
Shares will not reduce the base equity for purposes of the base management fee
calculation. Any future issuances of Common Shares or preferred
shares will increase the equity as per the existing agreement for purposes of
the base management fee calculation.
Incentive
Fee
The
incentive fee entitles FUR Advisors to receive (a) an amount equal to 20% of all
distributions paid to beneficiaries of Common Shares after December 31, 2003 in
excess of the Threshold Amount, hereinafter defined, and, (b) upon
the termination of the Advisory Agreement, an amount equal to 20% of
the “liquidation value” of the Trust in excess of the Threshold Amount at the
termination date. As defined in the Advisory Agreement, the Threshold Amount is
equal to (x) $314,787,000, increased by the net issuance price of all Common
Shares, with an adjustment for preferred shares converted, issued after January
1, 2009, and decreased by the redemption price of all Common Shares redeemed
after January 1, 2009, plus (y) a return on the amount, as adjusted, set forth
in (x) equal to 7% per annum compounded annually. The incentive fee is reduced
by any direct damages to the Trust if the Advisory Agreement is terminated by
the Trust for cause.
If the
Advisory Agreement were terminated, the actual incentive fee payable would be
based on an appraised valuation or the liquidation proceeds received for the
Trust’s assets, which may be substantially in excess of the amount calculated
based on the market price of the Common Shares.
Winthrop
Management L.P.
Winthrop
Management L.P., an affiliate of FUR Advisors and the Trust’s executive
officers, assumed property management responsibilities for various properties
owned by the Trust. Pursuant to the terms of the property management agreement,
Winthrop Management L.P. receives a property management fee equal to 3% of the
monthly revenues.
Credits
WRP
Sub-Management LLC (“WRP Sub-Management”), an affiliate of FUR Advisors,
provides accounting, collateral management and loan brokerage services to
Concord and its subsidiaries, including CDO-1. WRP Sub-Management
received reimbursement of direct and indirect expenses totaling $400,000 and
$471,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in
accordance with the terms of the agreement. Of these amounts,
$138,000 and $125,000 were paid to reimburse it for costs associated with
providing accounting and other “back-office” services for the benefit of Concord
(the “Affiliate Amount”). Because the Trust pays an advisory fee to
FUR Advisors whereas Lexington, the other member in Concord, does not, the
advisory fee payable to FUR Advisors by the Trust is reduced by 50% of the
Affiliate Amount to ensure equal treatment of the Trust and Lexington with
respect to the reimbursements paid by Concord. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Trust received and utilized a credit of
$69,000 and $63,000, respectively, against the base management
fee.

On March
24, 2008, the Trust acquired for the benefit of Concord two classes of
securities issued by CDO-1 with a face value of $10,000,000 for approximately
$4,850,000 and transferred legal ownership of these securities to Concord on
March 31, 2008 and received reimbursement equal to the acquisition
cost.
SFAS No.
131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report
information about operating segments in financial statements and requires that
those enterprises report selected financial information about operating segments
in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.
Based on
the Trust’s method of internal reporting, management determined that it has
three operating segments: (i) the ownership of operating properties; (ii) the
origination and acquisition of loans and debt securities secured directly or
indirectly by commercial and multi-family real property – collectively, loan
assets and loan securities; and (iii) the ownership of equity and debt
securities in other REITs – REIT securities. The accounting policies
of the segments are identical to those described in Note 2.
The
operating properties segment includes all of the Trust’s wholly and partially
owned operating properties. The loan assets and loan securities
segment includes all of the Trust’s activities related to real estate loans,
which consists primarily of the Trust’s investment in Concord and Marc
Realty. The REIT securities segment includes all of the Trust’s
activities related to the ownership of securities in other publicly traded real
estate companies. In addition to our three business segments, the
Trust reports non-segment specific income and expense under corporate income
(expense).
The
following table summarizes the Trust’s assets by business segment for the
periods ended March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
Certain
statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term
is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Our future results, financial condition and
business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking
statements. You can find many of these statements by looking
for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or similar expressions in this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are
subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the
factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or
predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008 under “Forward Looking Statements” and
“Item 1A – Risk Factors” as well as our other filings with the
SEC. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor
for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to
update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use
caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on
information, judgments and estimates at the time they are made, to anticipate
future results or trends.
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31,
2008. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
This item
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, footnotes thereto
and other items contained elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are a
real estate investment trust engaged in the business of owning real property and
real estate related assets. Our business objective is to maximize long-term
shareholder value through a total return value approach to real estate
investing. We seek to achieve this objective by acquiring investments
with both recurring cash flow in order to sustain our dividend, along with
investments that we believe have appreciation potential. We operate in three
strategic business segments: (i) operating properties; (ii) loan assets and loan
securities; and (iii) REIT equity and debt securities. We acquire assets through
direct ownership as well as through strategic alliances and ventures, and have
entered into two significant venture arrangements. Our venture with Marc Realty,
a Chicago area real estate company, is our primary vehicle for investments in
the Chicago metropolitan area. In addition, since its formation in March 2006,
we have acquired substantially all of our loan assets and loan securities
through Concord Debt Holdings LLC, which we refer to as Concord, a joint venture
with Lexington Realty Trust, which we refer to as Lexington, and, since August
2008, Inland America Concord Sub LLC, which we refer to as Inland.
As of
March 31, 2009, we held interests in approximately 9.7 million rentable
square feet of office, retail, multi-tenant and mixed use space through our 21
wholly owned operating properties and our ventures with Marc Realty and Sealy
& Co., Ltd., which we refer to as Sealy. As of March 31, 2009 our
properties were approximately 96.0% leased. Our primary sources of income
are rental income and tenant recoveries from leases of our operating properties,
interest income from our loan assets and loan securities, and interest and
dividend income and possible appreciation from our investments in REIT
securities. The comparability of financial data from period to period
is affected by several items including the timing of our property acquisition
and leasing activities and the purchases and sales of assets and
investments.
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
The
weakness in the economy since late 2007 and the subsequent disruption of the
capital and credit markets throughout 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 has
affected profitability and limited the availability of financing and the ability
to raise equity capital. During the first quarter of 2009 we
continued to focus our attention primarily on maintaining our liquidity and
reducing our exposure to short-term debt, while at the same time seeking
investments with current returns. With respect to our debt exposure, each of our
investment platforms and investments is essentially a stand-alone business, such
that any potential problems or liabilities which might occur are limited to that
specific platform or investment. Consequently, our exposure is in
each case limited to our equity in that particular investment and not to us as a
whole. Inclusive of extension rights, none of our loans are scheduled
to mature in 2009. As of March 31, 2009 there is $4,565,000 of
scheduled principal payments on mortgage loans remaining in 2009. The
remaining balance of approximately $223,735,000 is scheduled to be paid down or
mature in 2010 or later.
Capital
and Credit Market Deterioration
As
the capital and credit market deterioration has worsened, we have performed
additional assessments to determine our exposure to bankruptcies, which could
negatively affect the tenancy at our operating properties as well as negatively
impact borrowers’ cash flow and thus their ability to meet their obligations
under our loan assets and loan securities. We have also
monitored the impact of the currently limited availability of financing and
equity offerings. Because there is little funding available in the
capital and credit markets, there are fewer buyers in the market and buyers are
seeking significantly higher returns, placing significant downward pressure on
current real estate values. Consequently, there is a risk that
our borrowers will be unable to obtain replacement financing or sell the
collateral underlying our loan assets and loan securities upon maturity which
could lead to more loan defaults and/or negotiated extensions to existing loans
beyond their current expirations. In addition, we further reviewed
our risk associated with counterparties to our hedging instruments and credit
facilities. We believe our greatest risk to operating results and liquidity is
the recent unprecedented volatility in capital and credit markets, which, if not
stabilized, may create additional losses in the upcoming years.
A
continued weakness in the economy could further impair our ability to raise
future capital through equity and debt offerings, thereby requiring us to obtain
additional capital through other means. Further, the declining availability of
financing has had, and will likely continue to have, an impact on our ability to
finance additional acquisitions and, ultimately, the value of real estate
generally.
We have
historically used the public equity markets and secured financing as our primary
sources of capital. We expect to continue to fund our investments
through one or a combination of cash reserves, borrowings under our credit
facility, property loans, or the issuance of debt or equity. In
addition, as our investments reach a level in value to the point where we may be
unlikely to achieve better than market returns, we may exit the investment and
redeploy the capital to what we believe to be higher yielding
opportunities.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Liquidity
is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including
commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments and other general
business needs. We believe that cash flow from operations will continue to
provide adequate capital to fund our operating and administrative expenses,
regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with
REIT requirements in the short-term. We anticipate that cash on hand, borrowings
under our credit facility and issuance of equity and debt securities, as well as
other alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required for our
investment activities. As a REIT, we must distribute annually at
least 90% of our REIT taxable income. As a result of this dividend requirement,
we, like other REITs, are unable to reinvest all of our operating cash flow and,
in addition to cash reserves, are dependent on raising capital through equity
and debt issuances or forming ventures with institutional or high net worth
investors to obtain additional funds with which to expand our
business.
Our
primary sources of funds include:
|
·
|
cash
and cash equivalents;
|
|
·
|
rents
and reimbursements received from our operating
properties;
|
|
·
|
payments
received under our loan assets and loan
securities;
|
|
·
|
the
issuance of equity and debt
securities;

At March
31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $41,070,000. In
addition, we had other liquid assets consisting of securities carried at fair
value and available for sale securities totaling $44,168,000, and we have
$35,000,000 available under our line of credit.
Cash
Flows
Operating
Activities
Cash
provided by operating activities of $6,423,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2009 was comprised of $28,053,000 of adjustments for non-cash items
including depreciation and amortization expense, the effect of straight-lining
of rental income, equity in losses of partially-owned entities and unrealized
losses on securities carried at fair value, and $1,403,000 of distributions from
non-consolidated interests which were partially offset by a net decrease due to
changes in other operating assets and liabilities of $600,000 and a net loss of
$22,433,000. See our discussion of our Results of Operations below
for additional details on our operations.
Investing
Activities
Cash used
in investing activities of $13,311,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2009 was comprised primarily of the following:
|
|
$25,668,000
for purchases of securities carried at fair
value;
|
|
|
$1,596,000
for additional loan advances related to the Marc Realty portfolio;
and
|
|
|
$949,000
for tenant improvements and lease
commissions.
|
These
uses of investing cash flows were offset primarily by:
|
|
$6,967,000
in proceeds from the sale of securities carried at fair
value;
|
|
|
$5,300,000
in proceeds from the repayment of loans receivable;
and
|
|
|
$2,635,000
in proceeds from the release of cash escrows, primarily related to the
release of funds from the qualified intermediary for the sale of our
Biloxi, Mississippi property.
|
Financing
Activities
Cash used
in financing activities of $11,280,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2009 was comprised primarily of the following:
|
|
$9,800,000
for payments of loans payable;
|
|
|
$5,934,000
for dividend payments on our Common Shares;
and
|
|
|
$1,486,000
for mortgage loan repayments.
|
These
uses of financing cash flows were offset primarily by:
|
|
$5,293,000
of restricted cash held in escrow that was released, primarily
related to the application of funds held as cash collateral and utilized
to pay off the CitiBank note payable;
and
|
|
|
$665,000
of dividends reinvested by shareholders in our Dividend Reinvestment
and Stock Purchase Plan.

WINTHROP

FORM

Significant
financial transactions during the first quarter of 2009 include:
|
·
|
the
acquisition on January 6, 2009 of 917,105 of our Series B-1 Preferred
Shares with a liquidation value of $22,928,000 for $17,081,000 in cash,
representing a discount to their liquidation
value;
|
|
·
|
the
March 2009 repayment of a $9,800,000 note
payable;
|
|
·
|
the
acquisition of senior debentures with a face value of $25,401,000 for a
cost of $16,433,000, preferred shares at a cost of $8,947,000 and common
shares at a cost of $288,000; and
|
|
·
|
the
extension of the maturity date of the former $9,500,000 mortgage loan
on our River City property for a period of one
year.
|
Dividends
Since
December 2005 we have paid regular dividends to our shareholders. In
paying dividends we have always sought to have our dividends track cash flow
from operations, both recurring and nonrecurring. As a result, while we
intend to continue paying dividends each quarter, future dividend declarations
will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on the actual
cash flow of the Trust, its financial condition, capital requirements, the
distribution requirements for REITs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and
such other factors as our Board of Trustees deem relevant. Subject
to the foregoing, we expect to continue distributing our current cash flow after
reserving normal and customary amounts thereby allowing us to maintain our
capital. Toward that end, the Board of Trustees elected to reduce
our dividend to $0.25 per share for the first quarter of 2009, which represented
a reduction from $0.325 per share for the first quarter of 2008. This
represents our existing budgeted recurring cash flow generated by assets
currently owned and excludes any potential cash flow from our investment in
Concord, as well as potential future cash flow generated from the investment of
the substantial cash and cash equivalents on hand. We expect to
continue applying these standards with respect to our dividends on a quarterly
basis which could cause the dividends to increase or decrease depending on cash
flow.
We paid a
regular quarterly dividend $0.40625 per Series B-1 Preferred Share in the first
quarter of 2009. We declared a special dividend of $0.05 per Common Share
in December 2008, which was paid in January 2009.

Total
assets decreased $62,314,000, or 10.8%, from $578,094,000 at December 31, 2008
to $515,780,000 at March 31, 2009. The decrease was due primarily to
a decrease of $22,058,000 in loan assets and loan securities, a decrease of
$26,191,000 in other assets and a decrease of $18,168,000 in cash and cash
equivalents. The decrease in loan assets and loan securities is due
primarily to a decrease of $17,878,000 in the carrying value of our equity
investment in Concord as a result of the operating loss incurred by Concord for
the quarter. The decrease in other assets resulted from the release
of approximately $8,642,000 of funds held in escrow, primarily the result of
$2,678,000 released from the qualified intermediary for the sale of our Biloxi,
Mississippi property and $5,227,000 released from the CitiBank cash collateral
account and utilized to pay off the $9,800,000 note payable, and the utilization
of the $17,081,000 deposit for the re-acquisition of the Series B-1 Preferred
Shares.
The
results of operations and changes in financial position for the Trust and
Concord are discussed below.

·
|
a
$61,000 increase in losses from our Sealy equity investments due primarily
to a $186,000 loss related to our Newmarket office complex in Atlanta,
Georgia which we acquired in August 2008. Losses from the Sealy
portfolio are primarily the result of non-cash depreciation and
amortization expenses. We received cash distributions of
$343,000 from the Sealy’s equity investments for the three months ended
March 31, 2009.
|
Depreciation
and interest expenses related to our operating properties remained relatively
constant with the comparable prior year period.

to:

·
|
a
$5,237,000 gain on early extinguishment of debt resulting from our January
2009 purchase of 917,105 of our Series B-1 Preferred Shares at a discount
to their liquidation value;
|
|
·
|
a
$1,114,000 decrease in corporate interest expense due primarily to lower
aggregate payments in 2009 on our Series B-1 Preferred Shares as a result
of fewer Series B-1 Preferred Shares outstanding during
2009;
|
|
·
|
a
$625,000 decrease in general and administrative expenses due primarily to
the reduction in the base management fee as a result of the modification
to the agreement effective January 1, 2009;
and
|
|
·
|
a
$156,000 decrease in corporate interest income earned on our cash and cash
equivalents due primarily to lower yields on U.S. Treasury securities
during the first three months of 2009 versus
2008.
|
State
income taxes were $50,000 and $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively, due primarily to our anticipated taxable income for
state purposes, after deductions for dividends paid and after the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards, where applicable.
Off-Balance Sheet
Investments
We have
two significant off-balance sheet investments – our Marc Realty and Lex-Win
Concord investment platforms. Marc Realty is discussed at Item
1. Financial Statements - Note 7 and Lex-Win Concord is discussed at Item 1.
Financial Statements - Note 8 and below.
Concord
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Concord
began experiencing declines in the fair value of its loan securities in the
fourth quarter of 2007 consistent with liquidity concerns impacting the
commercial bond and real estate markets and the overall economy. As a
result of these declines in values of loan assets and loan securities, Concord
was required to satisfy significant margin calls under its repurchase
facilities. Additionally, with the lack of available financing in the
market, replacement financing became unavailable and the likelihood of loan
defaults increased. The market in which Concord’s loan securities
trade has effectively evaporated. Moreover, the need for liquidity by
those investors and banks that trade loan securities has continued to cause the
current values of loan securities to decrease.
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
The real
estate markets have been significantly impacted by the continued deterioration
of the global credit markets and other macro economic
factors. Although the significant majority of Concord’s borrowers
remain in relatively strong financial standing, the current recession has
resulted in three defaults of borrower obligations and has cast uncertainty as
to whether Concord will recover its entire investment in certain loans and
available for sale securities.
Declining
collateral values could result in the need for Concord to fund further margin
calls and could potentially have a negative impact on Concord’s consolidated
cash flows, results of operations and financial position. Such
declines could also adversely affect Concord's financial ratios, which need to
be maintained for compliance with the covenants of its warehouse repurchase
facilities and revolving line of credit. Concord could be subject to
accelerated maturities of its outstanding borrowings. In addition,
certain of Concord’s credit facilities contain cross-default provisions that
could result in the accelerated maturities of outstanding borrowings in the
event Concord is in default of the terms of other facilities.
Since its
inception, Concord sought to produce a stable income stream from its investments
in loan assets and loan securities by managing credit risk and interest rate
risk through the issuance of CDO’s. However, the
disruption in the capital
and credit markets adversely affected the ability to issue CDOs with the result
that the availability of new financing has effectively been
eliminated.
Due to
current market conditions, Concord has less financial flexibility than
desired. If real estate and capital markets continue to decline or
Concord is unable to maintain adequate liquidity or equity, Concord may be
unable to successfully execute its business plan. In response to
these potential issues, Concord will focus on maximizing the value of its
existing assets, and toward that end, has worked to increase its liquidity and
reduce exposure to maturing debt. Concord is pursuing certain
activities, which it may or may not be able to consummate, including the sale of
previously repurchased CDO notes, the sale or refinancing of unencumbered assets
and a request of Inland to fund capital under its commitments.
In March
2009, Concord received an approximate $35,000,000 margin call from Column
Financial, Inc. (“Column”). On April 14, 2009, Concord restructured
its repurchase agreement with Column such that (i) no additional loans may be
obtained under the facility, (ii) Column withdrew its March 2009 margin call and
is not permitted to make a margin call except in a limited instance until March
31, 2010, (iii) the agreement terminates on December 31, 2010, and (iv) Concord
is required to maintain certain financial ratios. The modification
also requires Concord to reduce the outstanding loan balance by $10,700,000 in
April 2009 and an additional $47,500,000 by May 31,
2009. Additionally, Concord must reduce the outstanding balance under
the repurchase agreement by an additional $21,275,000 to $80,000,000 by
September 30, 2009 and to $60,000,000 by December 31, 2009. In order
to comply with the required reductions of the outstanding balance, Concord
expects to sell certain assets pledged under the Column
agreement. Accordingly, Concord has identified eight loans to be
sold. Discussions continue with Concord’s other repurchase
counterparty and its lender, as it relates to loan covenant
modifications.
Should
Concord be unable to sell assets or consummate other activities it is pursuing
to meet its obligations, Concord may incur a default under its debt agreements
which would negatively affect the Trust’s ability to recover its entire
investment in Concord which was recorded at $55,183,000 at March 31,
2009.
At March
31, 2009, excluding the Column Financial, Inc. repurchase agreement, Concord
currently has $21,516,000 of repurchase agreements maturing in December 2009
with the remaining repurchase agreement balance of $59,613,000 maturing in
February 2012.

WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
The
decrease in net income was due primarily to the recognition of a $36,908,000
loan loss on real estate loans held for sale resulting from the change in
classification of eight loan assets subject to the Column repurchase agreement
from held to maturity to held for sale as well as a $2,500,000 increase in loan
loss reserves.
|
·
|
Interest
income generated on the investment portfolio decreased $7,408,000, or
37.2%, from the prior year period due to a decline in LIBOR as well as a
decrease in the average investment balance outstanding as a result of the
$44,000,000 repayment of a mezzanine loan during the first quarter of
2008;
|
|
·
|
Interest
expense decreased $6,221,000, or 57.3%, versus the prior year period due
primarily to a decline in LIBOR as well as a decrease in the average debt
balance outstanding as a result of margin calls and
repayments;
|
|
·
|
The
impairment of available for sale securities is due to declines in the fair
value of the loan securities, Concord recorded other-than-temporary
impairment charges of $881,000 during the three months ended March 31,
2009. In addition, Concord recognized a provision for loss
reserves on real estate debt investments of $2,500,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009;
|
|
·
|
On
April 14, 2009, Concord restructured its repurchase agreement with Column
such that (i) no additional loans may be obtained under the facility, (ii)
Column withdrew its March 2009 margin call and is not permitted to make a
margin call except in a limited instance until March 31, 2010, (iii) the
agreement terminates on December 31, 2010, and (iv) Concord is required to
maintain certain financial ratios. The modification also
requires Concord to reduce the outstanding loan balance by $10,700,000 in
April 2009 and an additional $47,500,000 by May 31,
2009. Additionally, Concord must reduce the outstanding balance
under the repurchase agreement to $80,000,000 by September 30, 2009 and to
$60,000,000 by December 31, 2009. In order to comply with the
required reductions of the outstanding balance, Concord expects to sell
certain assets pledged under the Column agreement. Accordingly,
Concord has identified eight loans to be sold. In accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards No. 65, “
Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities,”
Concord has reported these loans as
held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value and has recorded a loss
reserve on real estate debt investments held for sale of $36,908,000
during the three months ended March 31, 2009. During April
2009, in conjunction with the restructuring, Concord sold a real estate
debt investment with a face amount of $17,000,000 for its adjusted fair
value of $10,700,000. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay
Column; and
|
|
·
|
General
and administrative expense increased by $284,000 primarily due to
increases in audit and other professional fees which were primarily offset
by a reduction in loan origination
fees.

WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
|
·
|
The
decrease in real estate debt investments and loans held for sale was
primarily due a loss reserve on real estate debt investments held for sale
of $36,908,000, an increase in the reserve for loan losses on real estate
debt investments of $2,500,000 and principal repayments of $498,000 which
were partially offset by the amortization of purchase discounts of
$1,372,000 and loan advances of
$1,614,000;
|
|
·
|
The
increase in the value of available for sale securities was primarily due
to the purchase of a new security of $3,502,000, partially offset by
other-than-temporary impairment charges of approximately $881,000 and
temporary impairment charges of $2,050,000 during the first quarter of
2009;
|
|
·
|
The
decrease in other liabilities was due primarily to (i) the repayment in
January 2009 of unsecured loans payable in the amount of $5,000,000, each
to the Trust and Lexington, and (ii) the change in fair value from
$31,232,000 at December 31, 2008 to $29,413,000 at March 31, 2009 related
to the effective portion of Concord’s interest rate swap contracts
designated and qualifying as cash flow
hedges.

Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
A summary
of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
Interest Rate Risk
We have exposure to fluctuations in
market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to
many factors beyond our control. Various financial vehicles exist
which would allow management to mitigate the potential negative effects of
interest rate fluctuations on our cash flow and earnings.
Our
liabilities include both fixed and variable rate debt. As discussed
in ITEM 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, we seek to limit our risk to interest rate fluctuations
through match financing on our loan assets and loan securities as well as
through hedging transactions. In this regard, we entered into the
following agreements:
|
·
|
An
interest rate swap with a $40,000,000 notional amount that effectively
converted the interest rate on that portion of principal of our note
payable to KeyBank from a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.75% to a
fixed rate of 5.80%. We made a $40,000,000 prepayment on
KeyBank’s floating rate debt during the second quarter of 2007. As a
result, we settled a portion of the existing interest rate swap with a
notional amount of $14,000,000 for $366,000, resulting in an unrealized
gain which will be amortized to income over the remaining life of the
swap. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2009 on this loan is
approximately $24,678,000.
|
The
following table shows what the annual effect a change in the LIBOR rate would
have on interest expense based upon the unhedged balances in variable rate debt
at March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

investment – Concord.
|

(2)
|
The
one month LIBOR rate at March 31, 2009 was
0.50063%.
|
We
believe that due to our significant investment in a non-consolidated entity
(Concord), the presentation of our pro-rata share of a change in interest
expense from this entity is important to fully understand our exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates.
We may
utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the potential negative impact
of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging
strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the
costs and risks of such strategies. In addition, as of March 31, 2009
our pro-rata share of Lex-Win Concord’s variable rate loan assets and loan
securities with a face value aggregating $425,823,000 partially mitigate our
exposure to change in interest rates.
WINTHROP
REALTY TRUST
FORM
10-Q MARCH 31, 2009
Market
Value Risk
Our hedge
transaction, and those utilized by Concord, using derivative instruments also
involve certain additional risks such as counterparty credit risk, the
enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and
significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in
the contract. The three counterparties of these arrangements are
Credit Suisse International, KeyBank and JP Morgan. At the present
time, due to the loan interest rate environment, the Trust’s hedge transaction
represents a liability to the Trust and Concord’s hedge transactions represent a
liability to Concord. The Trust has no obligation to post any
collateral for the benefit of the counterparty.
ITEM 4.
|
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of
March 31, 2009, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,
2009.
Other Matters
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
