Key
Financial Performance Metrics
Although
we can not report net income or funds from operations until our third quarter
10-Q is completed, the Company continues to perform as planned. The following
key comparisons demonstrate our continued strong performance based on
preliminary third quarter information which is subject to review.
Estimated
revenue for the third quarter is $33.6 million versus $31.1 million during
the
second quarter of 2006, reflecting the impact of acquisitions completed during
the 3rd
quarter.
Estimated third quarter G&A of $2.0 million is in-line with our previous
quarters. Estimated interest expense for the 3rd
quarter
is $11.6 million versus $9.9 million during the 2nd
quarter
of 2006, and includes $400 thousand of non-cash interest during both
quarters.
As
a
result of our 3rd
quarter
acquisitions, there is a strong possibility that we will achieve our $0.30
adjusted FFO target related to our performance based restricted stock grant.
In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” compensation
cost for a performance-based stock award shall be accrued for if it is probable
or likely to occur. Based on our current analysis there is a high probability
of
achieving the $0.30 target. Although we cannot predict if the $0.30 per share
target will actually be met, at this time we do feel it is probable as defined
under FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and as a result, it
is highly likely that we will be required to record a cumulative “catch-up”
adjustment of approximately $2.7 million to compensation expense during the
3rd
quarter.
Turning
to the balance sheet, our estimated total gross real estate assets are $1.3
billion at September 30, 2006 or approximately a $200 million increase versus
June 30, 2006. At the end of the 3rd quarter of 2006, we had $645 million of
debt on our balance sheet versus $488 million at June 30th,
2006.
This growth in our assets and debt was also primarily a result of the
acquisitions completed within the quarter and excludes $39 million of FIN-46
non-cash related debt.
For
the
three months ended September 30, 2006, we estimate our adjusted total
debt/EBITDA to be slightly less than 5.0 x’s versus our 2nd
quarter
reported leverage of 4.3 x’s before giving effect to potential accounting
adjustments. The 3rd
quarter
financial information is preliminary and subject to review and adjustment in
connection with the restatement of prior periods.
At
September 30, 2006, we had 59.5 million common shares outstanding.
Furthermore,
as Taylor mentioned, we increased our common dividend by $ .01 to $0.25/share
reflecting our strong cash flow for the quarter and continued execution of
our
operating plan.
At
September 30, 2006, we had combined cash and credit facility availability of
$40
million and as of today we have approximately $44 million of combined cash
and
availability. It’s important to note, we have the ability to increase our $200
million senior secured credit facility by an additional $100 million.
