PITTSBURGH & WEST VIRGINIA RAILROAD FORM 10-Q Notes to financial statements: (1) The foregoing interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. (2) Registrant has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a real estate investment trust. As such, the Trust is exempt from paying federal corporate income tax on any income that is distributed to shareholders. It has been Registrant's policy to distribute annually all of its ordinary taxable income. Consequently, no provision has been made for federal income tax. Furthermore, in accordance with the terms of the lease, Norfolk Southern Corporation will reimburse the lessor, in the form of additional rent, for all taxes and governmental charges imposed upon the leased assets of the lessor except for taxes relating to the cash rent payments made by the lessee. Due to the treatment of the lease as a direct financing lease for GAAP purposes, the tax basis of the leased property is higher than the GAAP basis in the leased property. (3) Under the terms of the lease, Norfolk Southern Corporation has leased all of Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad's real properties, including its railroad lines, for a term of 99 years, renewable by the lessee upon the same terms for additional 99-year terms in perpetuity. The lease provides for a cash rental of $915,000 per year for the current lease period and all renewal periods. The net investment in capital lease, recognizing renewal options in perpetuity, was estimated to have a current value of $9,150,000 assuming an implicit interest rate of 10%. (4) Under the provisions of the lease, the Trust may not issue, without the prior written consent of Norfolk Southern, any shares or options to purchase shares or declare any dividends on its shares of beneficial interest in an amount exceeding the value of the assets not covered by the lease plus the annual cash rent of $915,000 to be received under the lease, less any expenses incurred for the benefit of shareholders. At September 30, 2010, all net assets are covered by the lease. The Trust may not borrow any money or assume any guarantees except with the prior written consent of Norfolk Southern. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS All of Registrant's railroad properties are on long-term lease to Norfolk Southern Corporation for the fixed, unvarying amount of $915,000 cash rental per year. The lease also requires that additional amounts be accounted for as noncash rent income to be settled or paid at lease termination. Because this noncash income will not be settled until the expiration of the lease, no values have been reported in the accompanying interim financial statements for the balance of the account or the transactions affecting the balance. With fixed revenue and expenses relatively constant, there is very little fluctuation in operating results between periods. In comparing the third quarter of 2010 with the preceding second quarter of 2010 and the third quarter of 2009, revenues totaled $229,000, $229,000, and $229,000, respectively. Net income and income available for distribution was $202,000, $190,000, and $208,000, respectively. Since cash revenue is fixed in amount and outlays for general and administrative expenses are relatively modest, inflation has had no material impact on Registrant's reported net income for the past three years. Although recent inflationary trends have been moderate, annual rental income is a fixed amount for the current lease term and any renewal periods, and inflation could affect the real dollar value of the rental income over time. Changes in inflationary trends could also affect the general and administration expenses. Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Registrant carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant's required SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in the Registrant's internal controls or in other factors that that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Registrant carried out its evaluation. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect the transactions of the Registrant and that our policies and procedures are followed. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect such controls.
