|
|
1. Basis of Presentation
|
|
The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements
for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005 have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and
footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. The
consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 2005 has been derived
from the audited consolidated
financial statements at that date.
Operating results for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006
are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31,
2006, or for any other interim
period. For further information,
refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
2. Discontinued Operations
|
|
During November 2005, we completed
the sale of a shopping center for
approximately $8.8 million. The
shopping center was anchored by
Kmart Corporation and Roundys
Foods and was located in Iron
Mountain, Michigan. The results
of operations for this property is
presented as discontinued
operations in our Consolidated
Statements of Income. |
|
|
|
|
|
The aggregate revenues from this
property were $785,308 for the
nine months ended September 30,
2005. The expenses for this
property were $369,311, including
minority interest charges of
$37,060, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. |
|
|
|
|
|
The aggregate revenues from this
property were $256,835 for the
three months ended September 30,
2005. The expenses for this
property were $118,470, including
minority interest charges of
$12,146 for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. |
|
|
|
3. Equity Transactions
|
|
On January 25, 2005, we completed
an offering of 1,000,000 shares of
common stock at $28.28 per share;
on February 7, 2005 the
underwriter exercised its over
allotment option for an additional
150,000 shares at the same per
share price (collectively, the
2005 Offering). The net proceeds
from the 2005 Offering of
approximately $31.5 million were
used to repay amounts outstanding
under our credit facility. |
|
|
|
4. Stock Based Compensation
|
|
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the
provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123 (R), Share-Based
Payments (SFAS 123R), under the
modified prospective method. Under
the modified prospective method,
compensation cost is recognized
for all awards granted after the
adoption of this standard and for
the unvested portion of previously
granted awards that are
outstanding as of that date. In
accordance with SFAS 123R, we will
estimate fair value of restricted
stock and stock option grants at
the date of grant and amortize
those amounts into expense on a
straight line basis or amount
vested, if greater, over the
appropriate vesting period. |
10
Agree Realty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
|
|
|
4. Stock Based Compensation (continued)
|
|
Adoption of SFAS 123R did not have an impact on our
earnings from continuing operations, net earnings,
cash flow from operations, cash flow from financing
activities and basic and diluted earnings per share
for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. |
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2006, there was $2,317,724 of
total unrecognized compensation costs related to the
outstanding restricted shares, which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of 3.55
years. We used a 0% discount factor and forfeiture
rate for determining the fair value of restricted
stock. The forfeiture rate was based on historical
results and trends and we do not consider discount
rates to be material. |
|
|
|
|
|
The holder of a restricted share award is generally
entitled at all times on and after the date of
issuance of the restricted shares to exercise the
rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the
right to vote the shares and the right to receive
dividends on the shares. On July 21, 2006 the Company
granted restricted shares to under the 2005 Equity
Incentive Plan. The restricted shares vest over a
three-year period based on continued service to the
Company. Restricted share activity is summarized as

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Management has included herein certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. When used, statements which are not historical in nature, including the
words anticipate, estimate, should, expect, believe, intend and similar expressions,
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are, by their nature,
subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Risks and other factors that might cause future
results to differ from the statements include, but are not limited to, the effect of economic and
market conditions; risks that our acquisition and development projects will fail to perform as
expected; financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable
terms; the level and volatility of interest rates; loss or bankruptcy of one or more of our major
retail tenants; and failure of our properties to generate additional income to offset increases
in operating expenses. For a description of the specific risks associated with the operation of
our business, please see our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Overview
We were established to continue to operate and expand the retail property business of our
predecessor. We commenced operations in April 1994. Our assets are held by, and all operations
are conducted through, Agree Limited Partnership (the Operating Partnership), of which Agree
Realty Corporation is the sole general partner and held a 91.97% interest as of September 30,
2006. We are operating so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal
income tax purposes.
On January 25, 2005, we completed an offering of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $28.28 per
share. On February 7, 2005, the underwriter exercised its over allotment option for an additional
150,000 shares at the same per share price (collectively, the 2005 Offering). The net proceeds
from the 2005 Offering of approximately $31.5 million were used to repay amounts outstanding our
credit facility.
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Agree
Realty Corporation, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

Agree Realty Corporation
Part I
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (R),
to expand and clarify SFAS No. 123 in several areas. The Statement requires companies to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on
the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the requisite service period
(usually the vesting period) for the estimated number of instruments where service is expected to
be rendered. This statement is effective for the interim reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company adopted this statement in the first quarter of 2006. The impact
of adopting SFAS No. 123 (R) did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position
or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued an Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Consensus in Issue 06-3,
How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented
in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The consensus includes any
tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing
transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use,
value added, and some excise taxes. The consensus states that the presentation of taxes within
the scope on either a gross (included in revenues and cots) or a net (excluded from revenues)
basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 22 Disclosure of Accounting Policies. In addition, for any such
taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in
interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is
presented if those amounts are significant. The disclosure of those taxes can be done on an
aggregate basis. The consensus should be applied to financial reports for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this consensus is not
expected to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the course of developing and evaluating accounting policies and procedures, we use estimates,
assumptions and judgments to determine the most appropriate methods to be applied. Such processes
are used in determining revenue recognition, capitalization of costs related to real estate
investments, potential impairment of real estate investments, operating cost reimbursements, and
taxable income.
Minimum rental income attributable to leases is recorded when due from tenants. Certain leases
provide for additional percentage rents based on tenants sales volumes. These percentage rents
are recognized when determinable by us. In addition, leases for certain tenants contain rent
escalations and/or free rent during the first several months of the lease term; however such
amounts are not material.
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All costs related to
planning, development and construction of buildings prior to the date they become operational,
including interest and real estate taxes during the construction period, are capitalized for
financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has
been completed. Subsequent to completion of construction, expenditures for property maintenance
14
Agree Realty Corporation
Part I
are charged to operations as incurred, while significant renovations are capitalized.
Depreciation of the buildings is recorded on the straight-line method using an estimated useful
life of forty years.
In determining the fair value of real estate investments, we consider future cash flow
projections on a property by property basis, current interest rates and current market conditions
of the geographical location of each property.
Substantially all of our leases contain provisions requiring tenants to pay as additional rent a
proportionate share of operating expenses (Operating Cost Reimbursements) such as real estate
taxes, repairs and maintenance, insurance, etc. The related revenue from tenant billings is
recognized in the same period the expense is recorded.
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.
Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the
vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires
judgment, including estimating expected dividends, estimating expected forfeiture rates,
estimating expected stock volatility, estimating the expected term, estimating expected risk-free
interest rates and determining illiquidity discount rates. If actual results differ significantly
from these estimates and we materially change our estimates, stock-based compensation expense and
our results of operations could be materially impacted.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), commencing with our 1994 tax year. As a result, we are not subject to federal income taxes
on the amount of our distributions, provided we distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable
income to our stockholders and satisfy certain other requirements defined in the Code.
Accordingly, no provision was made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Minimum rental income increased $1,319,000, or 6%, to $22,416,000 in 2006, compared to
$21,097,000 in 2005. The increase was the result of an increase of $1,214,000 from the
development and acquisition of six properties in 2005 and one property in 2006 and net rental
increases of $105,000 from existing tenants.
Percentage rental income remained relatively constant at $41,000 in 2006 and $39,000 in 2005.
Operating Cost Reimbursements decreased $(37,000), or 2%, to $2,060,000 in 2006, compared to
$2,097,000 in 2005. Operating cost reimbursements decreased due to the net decrease in property
operating expenses as explained below.
Other income increased $13,000, to $37,000 in 2006, compared to $24,000 in 2005. The increase
was the result of management fees earned during 2006.
Real estate taxes increased $36,000, or 3%, to $1,352,000 in 2006, compared to $1,316,000 in
2005. The increase is the result of general assessment adjustments.
15
Agree Realty Corporation
Part I
Property operating expenses (shopping center maintenance, insurance and utilities) decreased
$(117,000), or 8%, to $1,318,000 in 2006 compared to $1,435,000 in 2005. The decrease was the
result of decreased snow removal costs of $(102,000); an increase in shopping center maintenance
costs of $33,000; a decrease in utility costs of $(6,000); and a decrease in insurance costs of
$(42,000) in 2006 versus 2005.
Land lease payments remained constant at $586,000 in 2006 and 2005.
General and administrative expenses increased by $414,000, or 16%, to $3,079,000 in 2006,
compared to $2,665,000 in 2005. The increase was the result of increased compensation related
expenses as a result of salary increases and the addition of employees of $260,000, increased
professional fees and general taxes of $332,000, a decrease in contracted services to investigate
Florida development opportunities of $(152,000) and decreased property related expenses of
$(26,000). General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total rental income increased
from 12.6% for 2005 to 13.7% for 2006.
Depreciation and amortization increased $157,000, or 5%, to $3,618,000 in 2006, compared to
$3,461,000 in 2005. The increase was the result of the development and acquisition of six
properties in 2005 and one property in 2006.
Interest expense increased $392,000, or 13%, to $3,449,000 in 2006, from $3,057,000 in 2005. The
increase in interest expense resulted from increased borrowings to fund the development and
acquisition of six properties in 2005 and one property in 2006, as well as overall interest rate
increases.
Our income before minority interest and discontinued operations increased $415,000, or 4%, to
$11,152,000 in 2006 from $10,737,000 in 2005 as a result of the foregoing factors.
Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
Minimum rental income increased $391,000, or 6%, to $7,453,000 in 2006, compared to $7,062,000 in
2005. The increase was the result of an increase of $335,000 from the development and acquisition
of six properties in 2005 and one property in 2006 and net rental increases of $56,000 from
existing tenants.
Percentage rental income remained constant at $14,000 in 2006 and 2005.
Operating Cost Reimbursements increased $26,000, or 4%, to $639,000 in 2006, compared to $613,000
in 2005. Operating cost reimbursements increased due to the increase in real estate taxes and
property operating expenses as explained below.
Other income remained relatively constant at $9,000 in 2006 and $7,000 in 2005.
Real estate taxes increased $6,000, or 1%, to $450,000 in 2006, compared to $444,000 in 2005. The
increase is the result of general assessment adjustments.

Property operating expenses (shopping center maintenance, insurance and utilities) increased
$47,000, or 14%, to $389,000 in 2006 compared to $342,000 in 2005. The increase was the result of
an increase in shopping center maintenance costs of $56,000; a decrease in utility costs of
$(4,000); and a decrease in insurance costs of $(5,000) in 2006 versus 2005.
Land lease payments remained constant at $195,000 in 2006 and 2005.
General and administrative expenses increased by $94,000, or 10%, to $1,006,000 in 2006, compared
to $912,000 in 2005. The increase was the result of increased professional fees and general taxes
of $108,000, increased contracted services to investigate development opportunities of $35,000
and decreased property related expenses of $(49,000). General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of total rental income increased from 12.9% for 2005 to 13.5% for 2006.
Depreciation and amortization increased $45,000, or 4%, to $1,213,000 in 2006, compared to
$1,168,000 in 2005. The increase was the result of the development and acquisition of six
properties in 2005 and one property in 2006.
Interest expense increased $128,000, or 12%, to $1,157,000 in 2006, from $1,029,000 in 2005. The
increase in interest expense resulted from increased borrowings to fund the development and
acquisition of six properties in 2005 and one property in 2006, as well as overall interest rate
increases.
Our income before minority interest and discontinued operations increased $97,000, or 3%, to
$3,704,000 in 2006 from $3,607,000 in 2005 as a result of the foregoing factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for liquidity are distributions to our stockholders, debt repayment,
development of new properties and future property acquisitions.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we declared a quarterly dividend of $.49 per share.
The dividend was paid on October 12, 2006, to holders of record on September 29, 2006.
As of September 30, 2006, we had total mortgage indebtedness of $48,914,021 with a weighted
average interest rate of 6.64%. Future scheduled annual maturities of mortgages payable for the
years ending September 30 are as follows: 2007 $2,489,629; 2008 $2,709,461; 2009 -
$2,889,198; 2010 $3,086,187 and 2011 $3,296,646. This mortgage debt is all fixed rate debt.
In addition, the Operating Partnership has in place a $50 million credit facility with LaSalle
Bank, as the agent (Credit Facility), which we guarantee. The Credit Facility matures in November
2006 and can be extended at our option for an additional three years. During the three year
extension period, we will have no further ability to borrow under this facility and will be
required to repay a portion of the unpaid principal on a quarterly basis. Advances under the
Credit Facility bear interest within a range of one month to six month LIBOR plus 150 basis
points to 213 basis points or the
17
Agree Realty Corporation

banks prime rate, at our option, based on certain factors such as debt to property value and
debt service coverage. The Credit Facility is used to fund property acquisitions and development
activities and is secured by most of our properties which are not otherwise encumbered and
properties to be acquired or developed. As of September 30, 2006 $12,000,000 was outstanding
under the Credit Facility bearing a weighted average interest rate of 6.78%.
We also have in place a $5 million line of credit (Line of Credit), which matures in November
2006 and which we expect to extend for an additional one year period. The Line of Credit bears
interest at the lenders prime rate less 50 basis points or 175 basis points in excess of the
one-month LIBOR rate, at our option. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to provide us working
capital and fund land options and start-up costs associated with new projects. As of September
30, 2006 $3,650,000 was outstanding under the line of credit with a weighted average interest
rate of 7.75%.
The following table outlines our contractual obligations (in thousands) as of September 30, 2006.

We have two development projects under construction that will add an additional 29,311
square feet of GLA to our portfolio. One project is expected to be completed during the fourth
quarter of 2006 and the second project is expected to be completed during the second quarter of
2007. Additional funding required to complete the projects is estimated to be $2,730,000 and
will come from the Credit Facility.
We intend to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related
to the leasing and improvement of the properties, through the cash flow provided by operations
and the Line of Credit. We believe that adequate cash flow will be available to fund our
operations and pay dividends in accordance with REIT requirements. We may obtain additional funds
for future development or acquisitions through other borrowings or the issuance of additional
shares of common stock. We intend to incur additional debt in a manner consistent with our
policy of maintaining a ratio of total debt (including construction and acquisition financing) to
total market capitalization of 65% or less. We believe that these financing sources will enable
us to generate funds sufficient to meet both our short-term and long-term capital needs.
We plan to begin construction of additional pre-leased developments and may acquire additional
properties, which will initially be financed by the Credit Facility and Line of Credit. We will
periodically refinance short-term construction and acquisition financing with long-term debt and
/ or equity.

Inflation
Our leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on
net income. These provisions include clauses enabling us to pass through to tenants certain
operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and insurance,
thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from
inflation. Certain of our leases contain clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on
tenants gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and, in certain cases, escalation
clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition,
expiring tenant leases permit us to seek increased rents upon re-lease at market rates if rents
are below the then existing market rates.
Funds from Operations
We consider Funds from Operations (FFO) to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our
operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding
depreciation, FFO can help an investor compare the operating performance of our real estate
between periods or compare such performance to that of different companies. Management uses FFO
as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain
limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our
operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP
implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since
real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management
believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that uses
historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself.
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT)
to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of
property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. FFO should not be considered as
an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of our operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. While we adhere to the NAREIT definition of
FFO in making our calculation, our method of calculating FFO may not be comparable to the methods
used by other REITs and accordingly may be different from similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.
The following tables illustrate the calculation of FFO for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities. There is
inherent roll over risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates.
The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future
interest rates and our future financing requirements.
Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the
principal payments (in thousands) and the weighted average interest rates on remaining debt, by
year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate
changes.

Part I
The table above incorporates those exposures that exist as of September 30, 2006; it does not
consider those exposures or position, which could arise after that date. As a result, our
ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the
exposures that arise during the period and interest rates.
We do not enter into financial instruments transactions for trading or other speculative purposes
or to manage interest rate exposure.
A 10% adverse change in interest rates on the portion of our debt bearing interest at variable
rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $110,000.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
At December 31, 2005, management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal
controls:
|
|
|
We lack segregation of duties in the period-end financial reporting process.
Our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is the only employee with any significant
knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles. The CFO is also the sole
employee in charge of the general ledger (including the preparation of routine and
non-routine journal entries and journal entries involving accounting estimates),
the preparation of accounting reconciliations, the selection of accounting
principles, and the preparation of interim and annual financial statements
(including report combinations, consolidation entries and footnote disclosures) in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
|
|
|
|
We lack the expertise and resources to ensure complete application of generally
accepted accounting principles to non-routine transactions. As a result of this
material weakness, we recorded adjustments to our December 31, 2005 consolidated
financial statements prior to the issuance of the statements. These adjustments
affected other assets, unearned compensation, equity and general and administrative
expenses. |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange
Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this evaluation as of September 30, 2006, and due to the material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting as described above, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under
the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over
financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially
affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
Our audit committee has engaged independent third party consultants to perform periodic reviews
of our financial reporting closing process.
