NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization

Agree Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) primarily focused on the ownership, acquisition, development and management of retail properties net leased to industry leading tenants. We were founded in 1971 by our current Executive Chairman, Richard Agree, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in 1994.

Our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, directly or indirectly, Agree Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner and in which we held a 98.6% interest as of June 30, 2016. Under the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, we, as the sole general partner, have exclusive responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the Operating Partnership.

The terms “Agree Realty,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Agree Realty Corporation and all of its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. Amounts as of December 31, 2015 included in the consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited consolidated financial statements, included herein, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, as well as Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of (1) assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and (2) revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in order to conform to the current presentation. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, unamortized debt issuance cost is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability; in previously filed reports the unamortized debt issuance cost was classified on the Balance Sheet as an Unamortized Deferred Expense.

Segment Reporting

We are in the business of acquiring, developing and managing retail real estate which we consider one reporting segment. The Company has no other reporting segments.

AGREE REALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

Real Estate Investments

The Company records the acquisition of real estate at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. For properties developed by the Company, all direct and indirect costs related to planning, development and construction, including interest, real estate taxes and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the construction period, are capitalized for financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has been completed. Properties classified as “held for sale” are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value less anticipated selling costs.

Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate

The acquisition of property for investment purposes is typically accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price to land, buildings and identified intangible assets and liabilities, based in each case on their relative estimated fair values and without giving rise to goodwill. Intangible assets and liabilities represent the value of in-place leases and above- or below-market leases. In making estimates of fair values, the Company may use a number of sources, including data provided by independent third parties, as well as information obtained by the Company as a result of its due diligence, including expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, in-place lease intangibles are valued based on the Company’s estimate of costs related to tenant acquisition and the carrying costs that would be incurred during the time it would take to locate a tenant if the property were vacant, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases at the time of the acquisition. Above and below market lease intangibles are recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases at the time of acquisition of the real estate and management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease.

The fair value of identified intangible assets and liabilities acquired is amortized to depreciation and amortization over the remaining term of the related leases.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market accounts. The account balances periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. We had $3.2 million and $1.7 million in cash as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

Accounts Receivable – Tenants

The Company reviews its rent receivables for collectability on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable with respect to any tenant is in doubt, a provision for uncollectible amounts will be established or a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable will be made. For accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue, the Company performs a periodic review of receivable balances to assess the risk of uncollectible amounts and establish appropriate provisions.

Sales Tax

The Company collects various taxes from tenants and remits these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.

Unamortized Deferred Expenses

Deferred expenses include debt financing costs, leasing costs and lease intangibles and are amortized as follows: (i) debt financing costs on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the related loan which approximates the Effective Interest Method; (ii) leasing costs on a straight-line basis to depreciation and amortization over the term of the related lease entered into; and (iii) lease intangibles on a straight-line basis to depreciation and amortization over the remaining term of the related lease acquired.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic net earnings per common share computation to the denominator of the diluted net earnings per common share computation for each of the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2016			June 30, 2015			June 30, 2016			June 30, 2015

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		22,406,775			17,759,453			21,536,791			17,677,794

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in diluted earnings per share		22,265,139			17,587,052			21,385,098			17,511,418

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax provided it continues to satisfy certain tests concerning the Company’s sources of income, the nature of its assets, the amounts distributed to its stockholders, and the ownership of Company stock. Management believes the Company has qualified and will continue to qualify as a REIT. Notwithstanding the Company’s qualification for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and real estate.

The Company has established taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s TRS entities are able to engage in activities resulting in income that would be non-qualifying income for a REIT. As a result, certain activities of the Company which occur within its TRS entities are subject to federal and state income taxes. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued a deferred income tax amount of $705,000. In addition, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1,767 and $(6,624) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $7,747 and $25,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

Level 1 –

Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 –

Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 –

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The objective of ASU No. 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the current incurred impairment methodology in current GAAP is to be replaced by a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filers, the amendments in the update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are still in the process of determining the impact that the implementation of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-09 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. While aimed at reducing the cost and complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, the amendments are expected to impact net income, earnings per share, and the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods with those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-09 in the context of how the Company accounts for stock forfeitures which is reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-05 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships”. ASU 2016-05 addresses the impact on hedge accounting due to a change in a counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument under Topic 815. The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities for which there is a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument under Topic 815. The amendments in this update clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria (including those in paragraphs 815-20-35-14 through 35-18) continue to be met. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have reviewed ASU 2016-05 in the context of our hedge accounting and determined that it has no impact.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases.” The new standard creates Topic 842, Leases, in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) and supersedes FASB ASC 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases (operating and finance). However, for leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The main difference between the existing guidance on accounting for leases and the new standard is that operating leases will now be recorded in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities. Current GAAP requires only capital (finance) leases to be recognized in the statement of financial position and amounts related to operating leases largely are reflected in the financial statements as rent expense on the income statement and in disclosures to the financial statements. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are still in the process of determining the impact that the implementation of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-03 “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The objective of ASU 2015-03 is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the new guidance and determined the resulting impact on the statements was a reclassification of certain deferred financing costs from other assets to each respective balance sheet debt account.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 was developed to enable financial statement users to better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The update’s core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Companies are to use a five-step contract review model to ensure revenue is recognized, measured and disclosed in accordance with this principle. ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for one year. As a result, ASU No. 2014-09 is now effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-08 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations”. In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”. In May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-12 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”. The amendments in these Updates do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The amendments only clarify the implementation guidance. We are still in the process of determining the impact that the implementation of this will have on the Company’s financial statements.

Investments

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased 34 retail net lease assets for approximately $151.5 million, including acquisition and closing costs. These properties are located in 15 states and are leased to 23 different tenants operating in 15 diverse retail sectors for a weighted average lease term of approximately 11.6 years. The underwritten weighted average capitalization rate on the Company’s acquisitions was approximately 7.8%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased 46 retail net lease assets for approximately $184.5 million, including acquisition and closing costs. These properties are located in 20 states and are leased to 36 different tenants operating in 16 diverse retail sectors for a weighted average lease term of approximately 10.7 years. The underwritten weighted average capitalization rate on the Company’s acquisitions was approximately 7.8%.

The aggregate acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were allocated $60.0 million to land, $96.8 million to buildings and improvements, and $27.7 million to lease intangibles. The acquisitions were all cash purchases and there was no contingent consideration associated with these acquisitions.

None of the Company’s acquisitions during the first six months of 2016 caused any new or existing tenant to comprise 10% or more of its total assets or generate 10% or more of its total annualized base rent at June 30, 2016.

The Company calculates the underwritten weighted average capitalization rate on its acquisitions by dividing annual expected net operating income derived from the properties by the total investment in the properties. Annual expected net operating income is defined as the straight-line rent for the base term of the lease less property level expenses (if any) that are not recoverable from the tenant.

We completed a follow-on offering of 2,875,000 shares of common stock in May 2016. The offering, which included the full exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters, raised net proceeds of approximately $109.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount. The proceeds from the offering were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 69,042 shares of common stock under its ATM program at an average price of $38.44, realizing gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 million. The Company has approximately $57.4 million remaining under the ATM program as of June 30, 2016.

Note 6 – Dividends and Distribution Payable

On May 2, 2016, the Company declared a dividend of $0.48 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The holders of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) were entitled to an equal distribution per OP Unit held as of June 30, 2016. The dividends and distributions payable were recorded as liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016. The dividend has been reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity and the distribution has been reflected as a reduction of the limited partners' non-controlling interest. These amounts were paid on July 15, 2016.

Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risk, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, to a limited extent, the use of derivative instruments.

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

In April 2012, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $22.3 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 mo. LIBOR and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 1.92%. This swap effectively converted $22.3 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from July 1, 2013 to May 1, 2019.

In December 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $25.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 mo.LIBOR and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 0.89%. This swap effectively converted $25.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from December 6, 2012 to April 4, 2018.

In September 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $35.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 mo.LIBOR and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.20%. This swap effectively converted $35.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from October 3, 2013 to September 29, 2020.

In July 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $65.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 mo.LIBOR and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.09%. This swap effectively converted $65.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from July 21, 2014 to July 21, 2021.

In June 2016, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $40.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 mo. LIBOR and pay to the counterparty a fixed rate of 1.40%. This swap effectively converted $40.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from August 1, 2016 to July 1, 2023.

Companies are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The Company has designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. As such, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is recognized directly in interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has not recorded any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $2.4 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

	Number of Instruments				Notional
	June 30,		December 31,		June 30,		December 31,

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with two of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on the indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $7.5 million. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $7.5 million.

Although our derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, which serve as credit mitigants to both us and our counterparties under certain situations, we do not net our derivative fair values or any existing rights or obligations to cash collateral on the consolidated balance sheets.

The table below presents a gross presentation, the effects of offsetting, and a net presentation of the Company’s derivatives as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2016, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

As of June 30, 2016, there was $5.9 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the outstanding restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years. The Company used 0% for both the discount factor and forfeiture rate for determining the fair value of restricted stock.

The holder of a restricted stock award is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted shares to exercise the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends on the shares.

Restricted stock activity is summarized as follows:

Note 11 – Subsequent Events

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements the Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2016 through the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued to determine whether any of these events required disclosure in the financial statements.

On July 1, 2016, the Operating Partnership, entered into a $40.0 million term loan agreement. The $40.0 million seven-year unsecured term loan facility (the “2023 Term Loan) is due July 1, 2023. Borrowings under the 2023 Term Loan are priced at LIBOR plus 165 to 225 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage, and the Company entered into an interest rate swap starting on August 1, 2016 to fix LIBOR at 1.3985% until maturity.

There were no other reportable subsequent events or transactions.

Overview

The Company is a fully integrated REIT primarily focused on the ownership, acquisition, development and management of retail properties net leased to industry leading tenants. The Company was founded in 1971 by its current Executive Chairman, Richard Agree, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in 1994. The Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, directly or indirectly, Agree Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which the Company is the sole general partner and in which it held a 98.6% interest as of June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 326 properties located in 42 states and totaling approximately 6.3 million square feet of gross leasable area. As of June 30, 2016, the portfolio was approximately 99.6% leased and had a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 11.0 years. Substantially all of the Company’s tenants are subject to net lease agreements. A net lease typically requires the tenant to be responsible for minimum monthly rent and property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance and maintenance.

Second Quarter 2016 Highlights

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased 34 retail net lease assets for approximately $151.5 million, including acquisition and closing costs. These properties are located in 15 states and are 100% leased to 23 different tenants operating in 15 diverse retail sectors for a weighted average lease term of approximately 11.6 years. The underwritten weighted average capitalization rate on the Company’s second quarter 2016 acquisitions was approximately 7.8%.

We completed a follow-on offering of 1,725,000 shares of common stock in December 2015. The offering, which included the full exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters, raised net proceeds of approximately $53.0 million after deducting the underwriting discount. The proceeds from the offering were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 15,156 shares of common stock under its ATM program realizing gross proceeds of approximately $0.6 million. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $57.4 remaining under the ATM program.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to the June 30, 2016, Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. Management bases estimates on the best information available at the time, its experience, and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements. From time to time, the Company may re-evaluate its estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The Company has not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this quarterly report.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Minimum rental income increased $3,940,000, or 25%, to $19,912,000 in 2016, compared to $15,972,000 in 2015. Approximately $4,470,000 of the increase was due to the acquisition of additional net lease properties and approximately $215,000 was due to the development of new net lease properties. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in minimum rental income of approximately $745,000 relating to properties that were sold.

Percentage rents decreased $134,000 to $7,000 in 2016, compared to $141,000 in 2015. The decrease was the result of earlier recognition of percentage rent in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the recognition of percentage rent that took place in the second quarter of 2015.

Operating cost reimbursements paragraph should read - Operating cost reimbursements increased $836,000, or 76%, to $1,934,000 in 2016, compared to $1,098,000 in 2015. Operating cost reimbursements increased primarily due to higher levels of recoverable property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, acquisition, disposition and development activity. The portfolio recovery rate decreased to 82% in 2016 compared to 86% in 2015 due to timing of property expenses and reimbursements.

Other income decreased by $17,000 to ($9,000) in 2016 from $8,000 in 2015. The primary driver of the decrease was the reclassification of revenue from other income to operating cost reimbursements.

Real estate taxes increased $575,000, or 67%, to $1,438,000 in 2016, compared to $863,000 in 2015. The increase was due to the ownership of additional properties in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 for which we remit real estate taxes and are subsequently reimbursed by tenants.

Property operating expenses increased by $512,000, or 123%, to $928,000 in 2016, compared to $416,000 in 2015. The increase was primarily due to the ownership of additional properties in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 which contributed to higher property maintenance, utilities and insurance expenses. Our tenants subsequently reimbursed us for the majority of these expenses.

Land lease payments increased $26,000, or 19%, to $163,000 in 2016, compared to $137,000 for 2015. The increase is the result of the Company acquiring properties after the second quarter of 2015 that are subject to land leases.

General and administrative expenses increased $298,000, or 17%, to $2,042,000 in 2016, compared to $1,744,000 in 2015. The increase is primarily the result of increased employee and professional costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 9.3% for 2016 from 10.1% in 2015.

Depreciation and amortization increased $1,548,000, or 38%, to $5,665,000 in 2016, compared to $4,117,000 in 2015. The increase was due to the ownership of additional properties in the first and second quarter of 2016 compared to the first and second quarter of 2015 for which we are subsequently reimbursed by tenants.

The Company recorded no impairment charges during the second quarter of 2016.

Interest expense increased $564,000, or 19%, to $3,497,000 in 2016, compared to $2,933,000 for 2015. The increase in interest expense is primarily a result of the $100,000,000 senior unsecured notes issued in May 2015, offset by the repayment of the $8.6 million portfolio mortgage loan due 2016.

The Company recognized a net gain of $2,718,000 during the second quarter of 2016, including a gain of $2,753,000 on the sale of a Walgreens in Port St. Johns, Florida. The Company also recorded additional costs of approximately $35,000 associated with a property sold in 2015. The Company recognized a net gain of $3,456,000 on the sale of three properties during the second quarter of 2015.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Minimum rental income increased $7,877,000, or 26%, to $38,403,000 in 2016, compared to $30,526,000 in 2015. Approximately $8,827,000 of the increase was due to the acquisition of additional net lease properties and approximately $360,000 was due to the development of new net lease properties. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in minimum rental income of approximately $1,310,000 relating to properties that were sold.

Percentage rents increased $39,000, or 26%, to $190,000 in 2016, compared to $151,000 in 2015. The increase was the result of increased performance of tenants whose leases are subject to percentage rent.

Operating cost reimbursements increased $1,247,000, or 55%, to $3,523,000 in 2016, compared to $2,276,000 in 2015. Operating cost reimbursements increased primarily due to higher levels of recoverable property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, acquisition, disposition and development activity. The portfolio recovery rate was 87% for 2016, in the same recovery rate as 2015.

Other income decreased by $58,000 in 2016 from $10,000 in 2015. The primary driver of the decrease was the reversal of other income recognized in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Real estate taxes increased $935,000, or 58%, to $2,561,000 in 2016, compared to $1,626,000 in 2015. The increase was due to the ownership of additional properties in the first and second quarter of 2016 compared to the first and second quarter of 2015 for which we remit real estate taxes and are subsequently reimbursed by tenants.

Property operating expenses increased by $514,000, or 52%, to $1,501,000 in 2016, compared to $987,000 in 2015. The increase was due to the ownership of additional properties in the first and second quarter of 2016 compared to the first and second quarter of 2015.

Land lease payments increased $58,000, or 21%, to $327,000 in 2016, compared to $269,000 for 2015. The increase is the result of the Company’s acquisition of properties after the second quarter of 2015 that are subject to land leases.

General and administrative expenses increased $675,000, or 20%, to $4,087,000 in 2016, compared to $3,412,000 in 2015. The increase is primarily the result of increased employee and professional costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 9.7% for 2016 from 10.4% in 2015.

Depreciation and amortization increased $3,079,000, or 40%, to $10,750,000 in 2016, compared to $7,671,000 in 2015. The increase was primarily the result of year-to-date acquisition and development activity.

The Company recorded no impairment charges during the first half of 2016.

Interest expense increased $1,751,000, or 32%, to $7,145,000 in 2016, compared to $5,394,000 for 2015. The increase in interest expense is primarily a result of the $100,000,000 senior unsecured notes issued in May 2015, offset by (i) the repayment of the $8.6 million portfolio mortgage loan due in the first quarter of 2016; and (ii) the repayment of the $2.4 million secured mortgage in the first quarter of 2015.

The Company recognized a net gain of $2,718,000 during the first half of 2016, including a gain of $2,753,000 on the sale of a Walgreens in Port St. Johns, Florida. The Company also recorded additional costs of approximately $35,000 associated with a property sold in 2015. During the first half of 2015, the Company recognized a net gain of $3,555,000 on the sale of four properties, including (i) a gain of $3,313,000 on the sale of Marshall Plaza, a Kmart-anchored shopping center in Marshall, Michigan; (ii) a gain of $376,000 on the sale of a former Border’s store in Lawrence, Kansas; (iii) a loss of $233,000 on the sale of an outlot to the Company’s Meijer’s store in Plainfield, Indiana; and (iv) a gain of $99,000 on the sale of a Sonic restaurant in Waynesboro, Virginia.

Net income attributable to the Company increased $397,000, to $10,661,000 in 2016, from $10,264,000 in 2015 as a result of the foregoing factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal demands for funds include payment of operating expenses, payment of principal and interest on its outstanding indebtedness, distributions to its shareholders and future property acquisitions and development.

The Company expects to meet its short term liquidity requirements through cash provided from operations and borrowings under its $150.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2016, $98.0 million was outstanding on the Credit Facility and $52.0 million was available for future borrowings. The Company anticipates funding its long term capital needs through cash provided from operations, borrowings under the Credit Facility, the issuance of long term debt or the issuance of common or preferred equity or other instruments convertible into or exchangeable for common or preferred equity.

We continually evaluate alternative financing and believe that we can obtain financing on reasonable terms. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that the terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us.

Capitalization

As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s total market capitalization was approximately $1.5 billion. Market capitalization consisted of $1.2 billion of common equity (based on the June 30, 2016 closing price on the NYSE of $48.24 per common share and assuming the conversion of operating partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP units”)) and $389.6 million of total debt, including (i) $91.6 million of mortgage notes payable; (ii) $100.0 million of unsecured term loans; (ii) $100.0 million of senior unsecured notes; and (iii) $98.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility. Our ratio of total debt to total market capitalization was 25.2% at June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership represented ownership of 1.4% of the Operating Partnership. The OP Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has the option to settle exchanged OP Units held by others for cash based on the current trading price of its shares. Assuming the exchange of all OP Units, there would have been 23,985,462 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2016.

Debt

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility

The Company has in place a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit and term loan facility (the “Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility”) consisting of (i) a $150.0 million Credit Facility; (ii) a $65.0 million seven-year unsecured term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan”); and (iii) a $35.0 million unsecured term loan facility due 2020 (the “2020 Term Loan”).

The Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility contains customary covenants, including, among others, financial covenants regarding debt levels, total liabilities, tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage, unencumbered borrowing base properties, and permitted investments. The Company was in compliance with the covenant terms at June 30, 2016.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding $100.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) consisting of two series, including $50.0 million of 4.16% notes due May 30, 2025 and $50.0 million of 4.26% notes due May 30, 2027. The weighted average term of the Senior Unsecured Notes is 11 years and the weighted average interest rate is 4.21%.

Mortgage Notes Payable

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had total mortgage indebtedness of $91.6 million. Including our mortgages that have been swapped to a fixed interest rate, our weighted average interest rate on mortgage debt was 4.83%. The following table summarizes our mortgage notes payable as of June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

	Interest				Principal Amount Outstanding
Mortgage Note Payable	Rate (1)			Maturity	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Portfolio Mortgage Loan due 2016		6.56	%	June 2016 (2)	$	-	$	8,580

(1) Includes the effects of variable interest rates that have been swapped to a fixed interest rates.

(2) Mortgage secured by three Wawa locations was paid off on March 11, 2016 in the amount of $8,580,000.

(3) Subject to certain conditions, the maturity date of this loan can be extended to May 2019 at our option.

The mortgage loans encumbering our properties are generally non-recourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan, but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. At June 30, 2016, the mortgage loan of $20.4 million was partially recourse to us and secured by a limited guaranty of payment and performance for approximately 50% of the loan amount.

We have entered into mortgage loans which are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

			Remainder of
	Total		2016		2017-2018		2019-2020		Thereafter

Total	$	488,910	$	8,518	$	173,795	$	61,771	$	244,826

Estimated interest payments are based on (i) the stated rates for mortgage notes payable, including the effect of interest rate swaps; (ii) the stated rates for unsecured term loans, including the effect of interest rate swaps and assuming the interest rate in effect for the most recent quarter remains in effect through the respective maturity dates; and (iii) the stated rates for senior unsecured notes.

Dividends

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share. The cash dividend was paid on July 15, 2016 to holders of record on June 30, 2016.

Inflation

The Company’s leases typically contain provisions to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on its results of operations. Tenant leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases or increases in the consumer price index. Certain of the Company’s leases contain clauses enabling it to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise. During times when inflation is greater than increases in rent, rent increases will not keep up with the rate of inflation.

Substantially all of the Company’s properties are leased to tenants under long-term, net leases which require the tenant to pay certain operating expenses for a property, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to operating cost increases resulting from inflation. Inflation may have an adverse impact on the Company’s tenants.

Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and any impairment charges on a depreciable real estate asset, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the Company’s business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of the Company’s operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to the NAREIT definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that all REITs may not use the same definition.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by many companies in the REIT industry. AFFO further adjusts FFO for certain non-cash items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP and for non-recurring items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s performance, however, AFFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company’s performance, or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The Company’s computation of AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating AFFO used by other equity REITs, and therefore may not be comparable to such other REITs. Note that, during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company adjusted its calculation of AFFO to exclude non-recurring capitalized building improvements and to include non-real estate related depreciation and amortization. Management believes that these changes provide a more useful measure of operating performance in the context of AFFO.

The following table provides a reconciliation of FFO and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowing activities. There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and our future financing requirements.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal payments and the weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt, by year of expected maturity, to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

($ in thousands)

The fair value (in thousands) is estimated at $94,684, $101,328 and $99,710 for mortgage notes payable, unsecured term loans and senior unsecured notes, respectively, as of June 30, 2016.

The table above incorporates those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2016; it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and interest rates.

We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the overall borrowing costs by closely monitoring our variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when we deem such conversion advantageous. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements or other interest rate hedging contracts. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates, they also expose us to the risks that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under GAAP guidance.

In April 2012, we entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $22.3 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on one-month LIBOR and pay to the counterparty a fixed rate of 1.92%. This swap effectively converted $22.3 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from July 1, 2013 to May 1, 2019. As of June 30, 2016, this interest rate swap was valued as a liability of $0.7 million.

In December 2012, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $25.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on one-month LIBOR and pay to the counterparty a fixed rate of 0.89%. This swap effectively converted $25.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from December 6, 2012 to April 4, 2018. As of June 30, 2016, this interest rate swap was valued as a liability of $0.2 million.

In September 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $35.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on one-month LIBOR and pay to the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.20%. This swap effectively converted $35.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from October 3, 2013 to September 29, 2020. As of June 30, 2016, this interest rate swap was valued as a liability of $2.1 million.

In July 2014, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $65.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on one-month LIBOR and pay to the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.09%. This swap effectively converted $65.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from July 21, 2014 to July 21, 2021. As of June 30, 2016, this interest rate swap was valued as a liability of $3.9 million.

In June 2016, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rate on $40.0 million in variable rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 mo. LIBOR and pay to the counterparty a fixed rate of 1.40%. The swap effectively converted $40.0 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from August 1, 2016 to July 1, 2023.

We do not use derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and we did not have any other derivative instruments or hedging activities as of June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on the portion of our debt bearing interest at variable rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.0 million.
