Leo Ullman, Cedar's CEO, stated, "Our financial results for the third quarter again reflect the continued strength of our Company's "bread and butter", primarily supermarket-anchored, shopping centers. In accordance with our business plan, we have been able to maintain solid occupancy and cash flows. We have delivered, or will soon deliver, most of our development pipeline, which will start to contribute meaningfully to our results in 2010 and beyond.

"We are very excited to have arranged a strategic alliance (including a private placement and joint venture transactions) with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust of Toronto, Canada, one of the largest retail real estate companies in the world. These transactions, as reported earlier this week, not only provide a very strong capital base for our Company, but, importantly, will allow us to pursue opportunities as they emerge in the coming years and to add to shareholder value. Accordingly, our multi-pronged strategy for maintaining our financial strength is contributing to an ongoing reduction in our floating rate debt and in our overall debt."

Financial and Operating Results

Results of operations

Revenues for the quarter increased 6.3% to $45.9 million as compared to $43.1 million for the comparable quarter of 2008. Net income attributable to common shareholders, before certain non-cash and/or non-recurring items, was $2.7 million ($0.06 per share) as compared to $3.2 million ($0.07 per share) for the comparable quarter of 2008. Such non-cash and/or non-recurring items resulted in net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.3 million ($0.03 per share) as compared to $3.3 million ($0.07 per share) for the comparable quarter of 2008. FFO for the quarter, before the above-mentioned non-cash and/or non-recurring items, was $14.2 million ($0.30 per share/OP unit) as compared to $14.3 million ($0.31 per share/OP unit) for the comparable quarter of 2008. After such items, FFO was $13.0 million ($0.28 per share/OP unit) as compared to $14.4 million ($0.31 per share/OP unit) for the comparable quarter of 2008. FFO and net income attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2009 also include income from two acquisitions made in the first quarter of 2009, and income from the commencement of operations at several of the Company's ground-up development properties, but was impacted by vacancy expenses from the start of re-development at the Shore Mall property, and, on a same-property basis, higher bad debt expense. The non-cash and/or non-recurring items included an impairment charge, receipt of insurance proceeds and expenses related to stock-based compensation.

Revenues for the nine-month period increased 6.1% to $137.2 million as compared to $129.3 million for the comparable period of 2008. Net income attributable to common shareholders, before certain non-cash and/or non-recurring items, was $8.0 million ($0.18 per share) as compared to $7.5 million ($0.17 per share) for the comparable period of 2008. Such non-cash and/or non-recurring items resulted in net income attributable to common shareholders of $5.1 million ($0.11 per share) as compared to $7.6 million ($0.17 per share) for the comparable period of 2008. FFO for the nine-month period, before the above-mentioned non-cash and/or non-recurring items, was $41.0 million ($0.90 per share/OP unit) as compared to $42.4 million ($0.91 per share/OP unit) for the comparable period of 2008. After such items, FFO was $39.2 million ($0.83 per share/OP unit) as compared to $42.6 million ($0.92 per share/OP unit) for the comparable period of 2008. The non-cash and/or non-recurring items included termination of potential acquisitions and development projects, the expensing of acquisition transaction costs, impairment charges, receipt of insurance proceeds and expenses related to stock-based compensation.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $11.6 million for the comparable quarter of the prior year.

A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is contained in the table accompanying this release.

Acquisitions and development

The Company recognized additional FFO of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of the New London Mall in New London, Connecticut and San Souci Plaza in California, Maryland in the first quarter of 2009, and $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, as a result of commencement of operations late in the third quarter at several ground-up development properties, principally at Upland Square in Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, and Northside Commons in Campbelltown, Pennsylvania. This was offset by vacancy expenses of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, as a result of commencement of redevelopment activities at the Shore Mall property, including the purchase of the former Value City lease (approximately 144,000 square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") in a building which the Company intends to demolish).

Occupancy and same-property results

Occupancy at stabilized properties remained at 95%. On an overall basis, excluding four ground-up development properties, the portfolio was approximately 92% leased as of September 30, 2009. The Company's same-property operations, comprising 111 properties, generated operating results that were generally stable. Same-property revenues were $38.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $38.9 million, excluding the receipt of certain insurance proceeds in the comparable period of 2008. Same-property net operating income was $28.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $29.2 million (as similarly adjusted) in the comparable period of 2008. The decrease is due primarily to increased bad debt expense attributable to in-line locally-owned fitness centers and personal-care stores.

Leasing and Development Activity

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company signed 41 renewal leases totaling approximately 202,000 square feet of GLA with an average increase in base rents of 7.0%. The Company signed 26 new leases totaling approximately 409,000 square feet with an average base rent of $17.24 per square foot, of which 379,000 square feet, with an average base rent of $17.35 per square foot, related to new leases at the Company's ground-up development properties that came into operation late in the third quarter of 2009. The Company also had 13 terminated leases totaling approximately 198,000 square feet with an average base rent of $4.02 per square foot, of which 144,000 square feet, with an average base rent of $2.85 per square foot, related to the Value City lease.

The Company has a development and redevelopment pipeline of approximately $348 million, including four properties that commenced operations late in the third quarter of 2009. The other seven properties are expected to be placed into service largely during the remainder of 2009 and continuing into 2010 (apart from the announced redevelopment of the Shore Mall). As of September 30, 2009, the Company had spent approximately $264 million of the estimated total project costs, including $31 million applicable to the Shore Mall property. It expects to fund the remaining estimated balance of development costs principally with borrowings under its existing credit facilities.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $1.84 billion at September 30, 2009 and $1.73 billion at December 31, 2008. The Company had total debt outstanding of $1.12 billion at September 30, 2009 as compared to $1.01 billion at December 31, 2008.

At September 30, 2009, the Company's fixed-rate debt was approximately 64% of total indebtedness, with a weighted average remaining term of 5.7 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.8% per annum.

The Company expects to complete, during the fourth quarter, an extension of its existing secured revolving stabilized property credit facility due January 2010. To date, the Company has received $241 million of commitments.

Cedar/RioCan Arrangements

As previously announced, the Company entered into definitive agreements on October 26, 2009 with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, headquartered in Toronto, Canada (TSX: REI.UN) ("RioCan"), the second largest owner of shopping center properties in North America, pursuant to which RioCan will purchase for $40 million approximately 6.7 million shares at $6.00 per share of the Company's common stock through a private placement. The Company will grant to RioCan a warrant exercisable over a two-year period to purchase an additional approximate 1.4 million common shares at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. RioCan and the Company have further agreed to a joint venture arrangement pursuant to which RioCan will purchase an 80% interest in seven supermarket-anchored properties, presently owned by the Company, located in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The closings of the joint venture, subject to lender consents for five of the seven properties, are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2010, which generate approximately $63 million and will be used to repay/reduce outstanding debt. Further, RioCan and the Company anticipate purchasing up to $500 million of additional new properties over a two-year period in the same RioCan (80%) and Cedar (20%) joint venture format.

Financial Guidance

The Company announced an increase in its guidance with respect to FFO for 2009 to a range of $0.95 to $1.02 per share/OP unit. This includes the expected dilution from the sale of shares to RioCan. In providing this guidance, it should be noted that there remain several important variables which provide considerable uncertainty and lack of clear predictability of financial results for the balance of the year. They include the following, as previously set forth in our guidance:

    --  potentially lower revenues and increased bad debt expense from tenant
        lease terminations and renegotiated lease arrangements,
    --  increased interest costs attributable to the renewal of the Company's
        existing secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, and

    --  potential additional write-offs of development and acquisition costs on
        projects which may be canceled or impaired.

In addition, the foregoing guidance does not include the potential impact of mark-to-market costs of the Company's stock-based compensation.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made or incorporated by reference in this press release include certain "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the words "anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "future", and words of similar import which express the Company's beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future performance or future events or trends. While forward-looking statements reflect good faith beliefs, expectations, or intentions, they are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of factors outside of the Company's control. Certain factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: real estate investment considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in general and in the Company's market areas in particular; the financial viability of the Company's tenants (including an inability to pay rent, filing for bankruptcy protection, closing stores and vacating the premises); the continuing availability of acquisition, development and redevelopment opportunities, on favorable terms; the availability of equity and debt capital (including the availability of construction financing) in the public and private markets; the availability of suitable joint venture partners and potential purchasers of the Company's properties if offered for sale; changes in interest rates; the fact that returns from acquisition, development and redevelopment activities may not be at expected levels or at expected times; risks inherent in ongoing development and redevelopment projects including, but not limited to, cost overruns resulting from weather delays, changes in the nature and scope of development and redevelopment efforts, changes in governmental regulations relating thereto, and market factors involved in the pricing of material and labor; the need to renew leases or re-let space upon the expiration or termination of current leases and incur applicable required replacement costs; and the financial flexibility to repay or refinance debt obligations when due and to fund tenant improvements and capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - FFO

Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate has generally appreciated over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REIT's operating performance. The Company presents FFO because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Among other things, the Company uses FFO or an adjusted FFO-based measure (1) as one of several criteria to determine performance-based bonuses for members of senior management, (2) in performance comparisons with other shopping center REITs, and (3) to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the terms of the Company's secured revolving credit facilities.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with the "White Paper" on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which defines FFO as net income attributable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are computed to reflect FFO on the same basis).

FFO does 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. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another.

The following table sets forth the Company's calculations of FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
