Commenting on the reinstitution of a money division policy, Patrick J.
Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, settled which “the
excellent formula in mercantile 2009 and the prospects for 2010 clear the
reinstitution of an all money dividend.” He remarkable which for approximately
the past year, the Company paid the quarterly division in a multiple of
cash and shares of the Company’s usual batch in sequence for the Company to
conserve cash. The process valid profitable as the Company significantly
improved the money on all sides in a formidable mercantile environment. “It
appears to the management,” Mr. Callan one after another “that blurb operation has
stabilized, and we demeanour brazen to being active in 2010 in the
acquisition area, as evidenced by the squeeze in Feb of this year of
a 194,000 block feet selling core located in suburban Philadelphia for
$23.5 million. The merger represents an enlargement of the acquisition
philosophy to embody the merger of selling centers with long-term
leases in place with nationally or regionally famous tenants.”

With apply oneself to the Company’s formula and monetary condition, Mr. Callan
noted as follows:

--  Rental income decreased by $221,000, or 2%, entertain over entertain and
    increasing by $2,985,000, or 8%, year over year. The decrease
    entertain to entertain is due to a diminution in a series of items, nothing of
    which is significant.  The enlarge year to year is radically due to
    the merger of twelve properties during 2008.

--  On the responsibility side, handling losses were radically the same
    entertain over quarter, but increasing by we estimate $1,061,000, or
    7% year over year.  The enlarge in handling losses is due to an
    enlarge in debasement and amortization associated to properties
    acquired in 2008 and genuine estate losses before paid by tenants.
    In 2008, the Company accessible spoil charges of $752,000 during
    the second entertain and $5,231,000 during the fourth quarter.  In 2009,
    the Company accessible spoil charges of $229,000. No other

--  Occupancy at the Company's properties was we estimate 99% at
    Dec 31, 2009 formed on rentable block feet.

--  At year end, the Company had money and money equivalents and
    available-for-sale bonds of we estimate $35 million.  At
    Mar 8, 2010 the Company had cash, money equivalents and
    available-for-sale bonds of we estimate $30 million.

--  The Company has negotiated a alteration and prolongation of the credit
    agreement, which expires on Mar 31, 2010.  There is $27 million
    superb underneath the credit agreement.  The due modification
    and prolongation will, between pick things, magnify the tenure for dual years,
    revoke the volume accessible from $62.5 million to $40 million and
    enlarge the seductiveness rate from the reduce of LIBOR and 2.15% or the
    bank's budding rate to 90 day LIBOR and 3%, with a smallest interest
