The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere
in this report.
Executive Summary
The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust that focuses
primarily on ownership, operation and redevelopment of grocery-anchored shopping
centers in high-density urban markets from Washington, D.C. to Boston. At June
30, 2020, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 55 operating properties
(excluding properties "held for sale") totaling 8.3 million square feet of gross
leasable area ("GLA"). The portfolio was 90.0% leased and 88.9% occupied at June
30, 2020.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating
expense reimbursements received pursuant to leases. The Company's operating
results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments
required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment
activities on grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company believes that,
because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and
services generally available at such centers, its type of "necessities-based"
properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult
economic times.
Significant Circumstances and Transactions
COVID-19 Pandemic
As a result of COVID-19, the Company has received numerous rent relief requests,
most often in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has evaluated, and
continues to evaluate, each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis,
considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests have resulted in
modification agreements, nor is the Company forgoing its contractual rights
under its lease agreements. The Company has entered into lease modifications
that deferred approximately $2.0 million and waived approximately $0.4 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, respectively. To date, the weighted average
payback period of deferred rent is approximately 10 months, beginning at various
time commencing in July 2020 through March 2021. For the quarter ended June 30,
2020, the Company has collected approximately 77% of contractual base rents and
monthly tenant reimbursements. The Company currently remains in active
discussions and negotiations with its impacted tenants and anticipates the need
to grant additional rent concessions or other lease-related relief, such as the
deferral of lease payments for a period of time to be paid over the remaining
term of the lease. The nature and financial impact of such additional rent
relief is currently unknown as negotiations are in progress. The extent to which
COVID-19 impacts the Company's business, operations and financial results will
depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company is not able to predict at
this time.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken the following
actions:
• In March 2020, the Company borrowed an aggregate $75.0 million under its
revolving credit facility to preserve financial flexibility.
• In April 2020 and July 2020, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
quarterly common dividend of $0.01 per share, reduced from $0.05 per
share from the February 2020 dividend, which preserves $3.6 million of
cash per quarter.
• Dramatically reduced near-term redevelopment and other non-essential
capital expenditures. The Company currently estimates full year 2020
capital spend for its mixed-use urban redevelopments and value add
renovations combined to be approximately $20 million (excluding
approximately $7.5 million of capitalized overhead, interest and real
estate taxes under GAAP).
• Transitioned all but a limited number of essential employees to remote
work and does not anticipate any adverse impact on its ability to
continue to operate its business. Currently, the Company has a limited
number of employees coming into offices as needed and has employees
visiting properties only as necessary to ensure that the properties with
essential businesses that are open and operating are able to conduct
business and serve their communities.
Real Estate
On July 23, 2020, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement (the
"Lease") with the Government of the District of Columbia ("District"), for the
lease by the District of office space in a new 6-story building to be
constructed by the Company at
21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Senator Square. The building is planned to house the new office headquarters for
the District of Columbia'sDepartment of General Services'
("DGS") 700-member workforce. The term of the Lease is 20 years and 10 months,
to commence upon substantial completion and delivery to DGS. The Company
anticipates commencement of construction to occur in the first quarter of 2021
and currently estimates that the space will be delivered during the end of the
fourth quarter 2022.
Upon completion of the building, the District will be obligated to pay initial
annual net rent of approximately $5.4 million per year, subject to a 2.5% annual
escalator on each anniversary of rent commencement, plus certain operating
costs, property taxes and amortization of tenant improvements together totaling
approximately an additional $8.1 million per year, for an aggregate total annual
rent of approximately $13.5 million. The Lease provides for a free rent period
of 10 months immediately following rent commencement. The Lease also provides
the District with a tenant credit of approximately $6.8 million to be applied,
at the District's election, against either annual rent or any other tenant
payment obligations including tenant improvement costs, in excess of the tenant
improvement allowance. Pursuant to the Lease, the landlord will contribute up to
$155 per rentable square foot toward the cost of tenant improvements, to be
amortized over 240 months. In addition, the Lease provides that the Company will
contribute $9.38 per rentable square foot in additional tenant improvement
allowance between the 10th and 12th Lease years, upon the District's timely
election. The obligations of the District under the Lease are subject to annual
budget appropriation.
As of June 30, 2020, Carll's Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey, Metro
Square, located in Owings Mills, Maryland, Suffolk Plaza, located in Suffolk,
Virginia, and The Commons, located in Dubois Pennsylvania, have been classified
as "real estate held for sale" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
On January 31, 2020, the Company agreed to a cash payment in consideration for
permitting a dark anchor tenant to terminate its lease prior to the contractual
expiration at Metro Square. As a result of this termination, revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 2020, included approximately $7.1 million of other
income. Further, on July 9, 2020, the Company sold this property for $4.3
million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairment
charges of $7.6 million in relation to properties classified as real estate held
for sale, which are included in continuing operations in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
On August 4, 2020, the Company amended its existing $300 million unsecured
credit facility and term loans. After such amendments, the Company's financial
ratios and borrowing base are now all computed using trailing four quarters as
opposed to the current quarter annualized and interest rate swaps that are a
hedge of existing debt are now excluded from the definition of debt.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis,
management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate
investments and purchase accounting allocations related thereto, asset
impairments, and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks. Management's
estimates are based both on information that is currently available and on
various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those
estimates could be different under varying assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes there have been no material changes to the items disclosed
as its critical accounting policies under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. See Note 2 -
"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for recently-adopted accounting
pronouncements.

related to the cancellation of leasing conventions along with the related travel
expenses, (2) a decrease of $0.5 million in payroll related costs, and (3) a
decrease of $0.2 million in legal and professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were higher as a result of (1)
accelerated depreciation of tenant improvements and leasing commissions of $4.2
million as a result of tenants vacating their spaces, and (2) an increase of
$0.1 million attributable to a property acquired in 2019, partially offset by a
decrease of $0.2 million attributable to properties that were sold or held for
sale in 2020 and 2019.
Gain on sale in 2019 relates to the sale of Maxatawny Marketplace, located in
Maxatawny, Pennsylvania.
Impairment charges in 2020 relates to Metro Square, located in Owings Mills,
Maryland, and The Commons, located in Dubois Pennsylvania.
Interest expense was lower as a result of (1) a decrease in the overall weighted
average interest rate which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $0.8
million, and (2) an increase in capitalized interest of $0.3 million, partially
offset by increase in the overall weighted average principal balance which

Same-Property Net Operating Income
Same-property net operating income ("same-property NOI") is a widely-used
non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered
with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to
investors as it provides an indication of the recurring cash generated by the
Company's properties by excluding certain non-cash revenues and expenses, as
well as other infrequent items such as lease termination income which tends to
fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Properties
24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
are included in same-property NOI if they are owned and operated for the
entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties undergoing
significant redevelopment and expansion until such properties have stabilized,
and properties classified as held for sale. Consistent with the capital
treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and
other direct leasing costs are excluded from same-property NOI.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is consolidated operating
income. Same-property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to
consolidated operating income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure
of liquidity. Further, same-property NOI is a measure for which there is no
standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or
reported on among the Company's peers, and thus may not provide an adequate
basis for comparison among REITs.
The following table reconciles same-property NOI to the Company's consolidated
operating income:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity
requirements, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions,
preferred and common dividend distributions and distributions to minority
interest partners, if made, primarily from its operations. The Company may also
use its revolving credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to
fund long-term liquidity requirements for property acquisitions, redevelopment
costs, capital improvements, and maturing debt
25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
initially with its revolving credit facility, and ultimately through a
combination of issuing and/or assuming additional debt, the sale of equity
securities, the issuance of additional OP Units, and/or the sale of properties.
Although the Company believes it has access to secured and unsecured financing,
there can be no assurance that the Company will have access to financing for
development projects, financing for additional construction projects, or
proceeds from refinancing of existing debt.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which has created significant economic
uncertainty, the Company took the following actions: (1) in March 2020, the
Company borrowed an aggregate $75.0 million under its revolving credit facility
to preserve financial flexibility, (2) in April 2020 and July 2020, the
Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.01 per
share, reduced from $0.05 per share from the February 2020 dividend, which
preserves $3.6 million of cash per quarter, and (3) dramatically reduced
near-term redevelopment and other non-essential capital expenditures. The
Company currently estimates capital spend in 2020 to be approximately $15
million for its three ongoing mixed-use urban redevelopment projects.
Effective April 28, 2020, the average closing price of the Company's common
stock had been less than $1.00 over the prior 30-consecutive trading day period,
and as a result, the Company received notice from the NYSE that the Company has
until December 31, 2020 to regain compliance with the minimum share price
requirement. The threat of delisting and/or a delisting of the Company's common
stock could have adverse effects, such as restricting the Company's ability to
obtain equity financing. The Company will continue to monitor the closing price
of its common stock and consider available options.
On August 4, 2020, the Company amended its existing $300 million unsecured
credit facility and term loans. After such amendments, the Company's financial
ratios and borrowing base are now all computed using trailing four quarters as
opposed to the current quarter annualized and interest rate swaps that are a
hedge of existing debt are now excluded from the definition of debt. The $300
million unsecured credit facility consists of (1) a $250 million revolving
credit facility, and (2) a $50 million term loan. The revolving credit facility
may be extended, at the Company's option, for an additional one-year period,
subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be
increased to $750 million, subject to customary conditions and lending
commitments. Interest on borrowings under the unsecured credit facility and term
loans are based on the Company's leverage ratio.
The Company's unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial
covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured
debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the
facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on
indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Company's failure to
comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the
facilities could result in the acceleration of the related debt and exercise of
other lender remedies. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing
availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income for
the trailing twelve months, as defined in the agreements. As of the date of
filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company had $106.9 million
outstanding and $74.5 available for additional borrowings under its revolving
credit facility, and was in compliance with all financial covenants. However,
the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact the Company's future ability to
remain compliant with all financial covenants, including the ability to generate
sufficient unencumbered property adjusted net operating income to support
current borrowings. See "Item 1A - Risk Factors" in the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

(a) During the third quarter of 2020, the weighted average interest rate for
the Company's unsecured credit facilities will increase 15 bps as a result
of an increase in the Company's leverage ratio.
(b) The revolving credit facility is subject to a one-year extension at the
Company's option.
(b) The interest rates on these term loans consist of LIBOR plus a credit spread
based on the Company's leverage ratio, for which the Company has interest rate
swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates. Accordingly, these
term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt.

(a) The revolving credit facility is subject to a one-year extension at the
Company's option.
The remaining property-specific mortgage loan payable matures in 2026. Mortgage
loans payable may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other
reserves with its lenders. Such "restricted cash" is generally available only
for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established,
and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute
at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income", as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company paid common and preferred
stock dividends during 2019, and has continued to declare and pay common and
preferred stock dividends during 2020. While the Company intends to continue
paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will continue
to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash
flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual
distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other
factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Additionally, the Board of
Directors may reduce, as it did with the May 2020 common stock dividend of $0.01
per common share, or

suspend payment of dividends to retain cash and reduce debt obligations and/or
to fund redevelopments and other capital needs. The Company intends to continue
to operate its business in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for
U.S. federal income tax requirements.
Net Cash Flows
Six months ended June 30,
2020 2019
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 24,518,000$ 28,392,000
Investing activities $ (18,644,000 )$ (5,606,000 )
Financing activities $ 59,612,000$ (22,682,000 )
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating
assets and liabilities, was $31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020
and $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was
primarily a result of the Company accepting a payment of $8.0 million in
consideration for permitting a dark anchor tenant to terminate its lease prior
to the contractual expiration in 2020, which was partially offset by (1) the
negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and
(2) property dispositions in 2019.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities were primarily the result of the
Company's property acquisitions, expenditures for property improvements and
property disposition activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 the
Company incurred expenditures of $18.6 million for property improvements. During
the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred expenditures of $15.2
million for property improvements, and acquired a property for $9.1 million,
which was partially offset by $18.7 million in proceeds from the sales of
properties.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had net advances of $70.9
million under the revolving credit facility, which was partially offset by $10.7
million of preferred and common stock distributions, and $0.5 million of
mortgage repayments. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid
$14.3 million of preferred and common stock distributions, had $6.8 million of
common stock repurchases, had net repayments of $1.0 million under the revolving
credit facility, and $0.5 million of mortgage repayments.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP
measure utilized to evaluate the financial performance of a REIT. The Company
presents FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit generally
defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains
(losses) from sales of real estate properties, impairment write-downs on real
estate properties directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable
real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and
adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same
basis. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of its financial
performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance
by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains
residual value to a much greater extent than other depreciable assets.
The Company also considers Operating Funds From Operations ("Operating FFO") to
be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance because
it excludes items the Company does not believe are indicative of its core
operating performance, such as non-capitalized acquisition pursuit costs,
amounts relating to early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock redemption
costs, management transition costs and certain redevelopment costs. The Company
believes Operating FFO further assists in comparing the Company's performance
across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items.
FFO and Operating FFO should be reviewed with net income attributable to common
shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying
to understand the Company's operating performance. FFO and Operating FFO do not
represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered
as an alternative to net income attributable to common shareholders or to cash
flow from operating activities. The Company's computations of FFO and Operating
FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other REITs and, accordingly,
may not by comparable to such REITs.

Inflation
Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant
detrimental impact on the Company's results of operations. There have been mixed
indications of an increase in inflation in the U.S. economy. If inflation rates
increase, substantially all of the Company's tenant leases contain provisions
designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near
term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse
the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes and many of
the operating expenses it incurs. Significant inflation rate increases over a
prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business.
