AMREIT AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AmREIT is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-advised equity REIT based in Houston, Texas
with a total market capitalization of $184 million, including all classes of our common shares of
beneficial interest. We own and operate a portfolio of multi-tenant and single-tenant retail
properties consisting of 60 properties in 17 states as of June 30, 2005, having an aggregate gross
leaseable area of approximately 1.07 million square feet. Multi-tenant shopping centers represented
70.6 percent of annualized rental income for the properties we owned as of June 30, 2005. We also
manage an additional 20 properties located in four states for our affiliated retail partnerships.
Properties that we acquire are generally newly constructed or recently constructed at the time of
acquisition. Our class A common shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
AMY. Total market capitalization has been determined by valuing our class A and B common shares
at the June 30, 2005 closing market price of our class A common shares and valuing our class C and
D common shares at their respective par values.
AmREIT directly owns a portfolio of grocery-anchored, strip center, lifestyle shopping centers and
single-tenant retail properties leased to companies such as Kroger®, Walgreens®, GAP® and
Starbucks®. We have focused geographically on the Sun Belt states with an emphasis on the Houston
market and other large metropolitan markets in Texas such as Dallas and San Antonio. We focus on
acquiring and selectively developing multi-tenant shopping centers anchored by major retailers.
Many of our properties are located on what we call Irreplaceable Corners which we define as
premier retail frontage locations in high-traffic, highly populated, affluent areas with high
barriers to entry. Our single tenant properties are located throughout the United States and are
generally leased to corporate tenants where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent
company, not just the local operator, and in most other cases, our leases are guaranteed by the
parent company. The dependability of the lease payments is therefore based on the strength and
viability of the entire company, not just the leased location.
Our business structure consists of our portfolio of retail properties as well as three additional
businesses: (1) a full service real estate operating and development business; (2) a retail
partnership business; and (3) a registered securities business. Through our real estate operating
and development business, we provide construction and development, property management, asset
acquisition and disposition, brokerage and leasing, tenant representation, sale/leaseback and joint
venture management services. Our retail partnerships were formed to develop, own, manage and add
value to retail properties with a focus on shorter term value creation and a limited investment
period. Each of these partnerships owns multiple properties, and we act as the partnerships
general partner while our real estate operating company acts as property manager. Through our
retail partnerships, AmREIT captures recurring development, leasing, property management and asset
management fees for services performed while maintaining a residual interest after a preferred
return is paid to limited partners. Our registered securities business sells interests in our
affiliated retail partnerships and non-traded AmREIT shares through a wholesale effort using a
national network of unaffiliated, third-party financial planners.
We finance our growth and working capital needs with a combination of equity and debt. Our
registered securities business gives us access to capital through the independent financial
planning marketplace. Our
F-6
class C common share offering became fully subscribed in the second quarter of 2004, and we are
currently raising capital through our class D common share offering. Our class C and class D
common shares are not publicly traded and are being offered exclusively through the independent
financial planning community. Our bylaws limit our recourse debt to 55 percent of gross asset
value, as defined in our bylaws. Our strategies and our structure, as discussed herein, are
reviewed by our board on a regular basis and may be modified or changed without a vote of our
shareholders.
Our initial predecessor, American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc. was formed as a Maryland Corporation
in 1993. In June of 1998, we merged our external adviser into American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc.
On July 23, 2002, American Asset Advisers Trust, Inc. completed a merger with three of its
affiliated partnerships, AAA Net Realty Fund IX, Ltd., AAA Net Realty Fund X, Ltd., and AAA Net
Realty Fund XI, Ltd. and simultaneously listed our class A common shares on the American Stock
Exchange. With the merger of the affiliated partnerships, AmREIT increased its real estate assets
by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6 million class B common shares to the
limited partners in the affiliated partnerships. Approximately $760 thousand in eight year,
interest only, subordinated notes were issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships
who dissented against the merger. The acquired properties are unencumbered, single tenant, free
standing properties on lease to national and regional tenants, where the lease is the direct
obligation of the parent company. A deferred merger expense resulted from the shares payable to H.
Kerr Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as a result of the merger, which shares
represented a portion of consideration payable to Mr. Taylor as a result of the sale of his
advisory company to AmREIT. To date, Mr. Taylor has received 900 thousand class A common shares,
which fulfills the shares that he is owed under the agreement, and no further shares will be issued
under this arrangement. In December 2002, we reorganized as a Texas real estate investment trust
under the name AmREIT.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. The consolidated financial
statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly or majority owned subsidiaries in
which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in joint ventures and partnerships
where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not exercise financial and
operating control, are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We lease space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. The majority of the leases are
accounted for as operating leases with revenue being recognized on a straight-line basis over
the terms of the individual leases. Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. Revenue
from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is recognized in the
period the related expense is recorded. Additionally, certain of the lease agreements contain
provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants sales volumes (contingent or percentage
rent). Percentage rents are earned when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in
their lease agreements and are generally recognized when such rents are collected. The terms of
certain leases require that the building/improvement portion of the lease be accounted for under
the direct financing method. Such method requires that an asset be recorded for
F-7
the present value of such future cash flows and that a portion of such cash flows be recognized as
earned income over the life of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return.
We have been engaged to provide various services, including development, construction,
construction management, property management, leasing and brokerage. The fees for these
services are recognized as services are provided and are generally calculated as a percentage of
revenues earned or to be earned or of property cost, as appropriate. Revenues from fixed-price
construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the
physical completion of the structure. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on
the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost
method. Construction management contracts are recognized only to the extent of the fee revenue.
Construction contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and any indirect costs
related to contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are
made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty
provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included
in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs
attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can
be reliably estimated.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
Development Properties Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost.
Expenditures related to the development of real estate are carried at cost which includes
capitalized carrying charges, acquisition costs and development costs. Carrying charges,
primarily interest, real estate taxes and loan acquisition costs, and direct and indirect
development costs related to buildings under construction are capitalized as part of
construction in progress. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year
from the date of completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed
portion, becomes available for occupancy. We capitalize acquisition costs once the acquisition
of the property becomes probable. Prior to that time, we expense these costs as acquisition
expense.
Acquired Properties and Acquired Lease Intangibles We account for real estate
acquisitions pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141),
Business Combinations. Accordingly, we allocate the purchase price of the acquired properties
to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired
liabilities based on their respective fair values. Identifiable intangibles include amounts
allocated to acquired out-of-market leases and to the value of in-place leases. We determine
fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and
capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based
on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends and specific
market and economic conditions that may affect the property. Factors considered by management
in our analysis of determining the as-if-vacant property value include an estimate of carrying
costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market conditions, and costs to execute
similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance
and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, tenant
demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases
including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses.
Intangibles related to out-of-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded as
F-8
acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue over the
remaining terms of the underlying leases. Premiums or discounts on acquired out-of-market debt
are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt.
Depreciation Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated
useful life of up to 50 years for buildings, up to 20 years for site improvements and over the
term of lease for tenant improvements. Leasehold estate properties, where we own the building
and improvements but not the related ground, are amortized over the life of the lease.
Properties Held for Sale Properties are classified as held for sale if management has
decided to market the property for immediate sale in its present condition with the belief that
the sale will be completed within one year. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower
of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the
held for sale period. At June 30, 2005, we owned 16 properties with a combined carrying value
of $18.2 million that are classified as real estate held for sale. At December 31, 2004, we
owned nine properties with a combined carrying value of $6.3 million that were classified as
real estate held for sale.
Our properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from
the rest of the Company. The operations and gains on sales reported in discontinued operations
include those properties that have been sold or are held for sale and for which operations and
cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations of these properties have been
eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have continuing involvement after
disposition. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the operations of these properties
as discontinued operations.
Impairment Management reviews its properties for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental
income, may not be recoverable through operations. Management determines whether an impairment
in value occurs by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges), including the residual value of the property, with the carrying value of the
individual property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by
which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
TENANT RECEIVABLES
Included in tenant receivables are base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables
attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. An allowance for the uncollectible
portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon customer
credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of our claim with respect to any tenants in
bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends.
DEFERRED COSTS
Deferred costs include deferred leasing costs and deferred loan fees, net of amortization.
Deferred loan fees are incurred in obtaining property financing and are amortized to interest
expense using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the debt
agreements. Deferred leasing costs consist of external commissions associated with leasing our
properties and are amortized to expense over the lease term. Accumulated amortization related to
deferred loan fees as of June 30, 2005 and December
F-9
31, 2004 totaled $239 thousand and $185 thousand, respectively. Accumulated amortization
related to leasing costs as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $138 thousand and
$108 thousand, respectively.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Our deferred compensation and long term incentive plan is designed to attract and retain the
services of our trust managers and employees that we consider essential to our long-term growth
and success. As such, it is designed to provide them with the opportunity to own shares, in the
form of restricted shares, in us, and provide key employees the opportunity to participate in
the success of our affiliated actively managed retail partnerships through the economic
participation in our general partner companies. All long term compensation awards are designed
to vest over a period of three to seven years, and promote retention of our quality team. We
amortize the fair value, established at the date of grant, of the restricted shares ratably over
the vesting period.
Deferred compensation includes share grants to employees as a form of long-term compensation.
The share grants vest over a period of three to seven years. Additionally, we have assigned a
portion, up to 45%, of the economic interest in certain of its retail limited partnerships to
certain of its key employees. This economic interest is received, as, if and when we receive
economic benefit from our profit participation, after certain preferred returns have been paid
to the partnerships limited partners. This assignment of economic interest generally vests
over a period of five to seven years. This allows us to align the interest of our employees with
the interest of our shareholders. Because the future profits and earnings from the retail
limited partnerships cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, and any employee benefit is
completely contingent upon the benefit received by the general partner of the retail limited
partnerships, we recognize expense associated with the assignment of economic interest in our
retail limited partnerships as we recognize the corresponding income from the associated retail
limited partnerships. No portion of the economic interest in the retail partnerships that have
provided profit participation to us to date have been assigned to employees. Therefore, no
compensation expense has been recorded to date.
We maintain a defined contribution 401k retirement plan for our employees. This plan is
available for all employees, immediately upon employment. The plan allows for two open
enrollment periods, June and December. The plan is administered by Benefit Systems, Inc. and
allows for contributions to be either invested in an array of large, mid and small cap mutual
funds managed by Hartford, or directly into class A common shares. Employee contributions
invested in our stock are limited to 50% of the employees contributions. We match 50% of the
employees contribution, up to a maximum employee contribution of 4%. None of the employer
contribution is matched in our stock.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, and are, therefore, not subject to Federal income taxes to the extent of dividends
paid, provided we meet all conditions specified by the Internal Revenue Code for retaining our
REIT status, including the requirement that at least 90% of our REIT taxable income be
distributed to our shareholders.
Our real estate operating and development business, AmREIT Realty Investment Corporation and
subsidiaries (ARIC), is our group of fully integrated and wholly-owned subsidiaries comprised of
brokers
F-10
and real estate professionals that provide development, acquisition, brokerage, leasing,
construction, construction management asset and property management services to our publicly
traded portfolio and retail partnerships as well as to third parties. ARIC and our wholly-owned
corporations that serve as the general partners of our retail partnerships are treated for
Federal income tax purposes as taxable REIT subsidiaries (Taxable REIT Subsidiaries). Federal
income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) available to class A
common shareholders by the weighted average number of class A common shares outstanding.
Unvested shares of restricted stock have been included in determining basic earnings per share
due to the voting and dividend rights associated with such shares. Diluted earnings per share
has been computed by dividing net income (as adjusted as appropriate) by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential
common shares. Diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share due to the
anti-dilutive nature of the common class B, class C and class D shares which, in the aggregate,
represent 17.5 million and 9.7 million potential common
shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and
June 30, 2004, respectively.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per
share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, as indicated:

The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 include a charge
to earnings of $362 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively, which represents the market value
of the class A common shares issued to H. Kerr Taylor, President & CEO, related to the sale of
his advisory company to AmREIT in 1998. The charge represented deferred merger costs related to
this sale that was triggered by the issuance of additional common stock as part of the merger
with AmREITs affiliated partnerships during 2002 and the issuance of Class C common stock in
2003 and in 2004. Additionally, the operating results for the quarter ended June 30,
2004 include an impairment charge of $1.1 million, which represents a write-down in value of the
vacant Wherehouse Entertainment property located in Wichita, Kansas, which was sold during such
quarter. |
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting
F-11
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In December 2003, the FASB reissued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, as revised. FIN 46R addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate
whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting
rights. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company that is
subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or
entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. Disclosures are also
required about variable interest entities in which a company has a significant variable interest
but that it is not required to consolidate.
We are an investor in and the primary beneficiary of two entities that qualify as variable
interest entities pursuant to FIN 46R. These entities were established to develop, own, manage,
and hold property for investment. These entities comprise $6.8 million of our total
consolidated assets, and neither entity had debt outstanding as of June 30, 2005. We
historically consolidated such entities under generally accepted accounting principles in effect
prior to the issuance of FIN 46R; accordingly, our adoption of FIN 46R had no effect on our
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment that
requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. SFAS 123R
becomes effective in 2006. We have historically not used stock options as a means of
compensating our employees, and therefore we have no stock options outstanding as of March 31,
2005. Our strategy to date has been to compensate our employees through issuance of restricted
shares of our class A common stock. We determine the fair value of such awards based on the fair
value of the shares on the date of grant and then record that expense over the vesting period of
the respective awards. The provisions of SFAS 123R will not change this accounting treatment
for our restricted stock awards. Accordingly, we do not believe that our adoption of SFAS 123R
in 2006 will impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue No. 04-05 (EITF 04-05),
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General partners as a Group, Controls a Limited
Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF 04-05 makes it
more likely that general partners will be required to consolidate limited partnerships by making it
more difficult for a general partner to overcome the presumption that it controls the limited
partnership. Under this new guidance, the presumption of general partner control would be overcome
only when the limited partners have either of two types of rights the right to dissolve or
liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause or the right to
effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnerships
business. These kick-out rights and participating rights must be substantive in order to
overcome the presumption of general partner control. If ratified by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, the guidance will be effective immediately for all newly-formed limited
partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance will
be effective for existing limited partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the
beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We
believe that EITF 04-05 will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of
operations because we believe that the limited partners have substantive kick-out rights in each of
the limited partnerships for which we serve as the general partner.

STOCK ISSUANCE COSTS
Issuance costs incurred in the raising of capital through the sale of common shares are treated
as a reduction of shareholders equity.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks and money
market funds.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the presentation used in the current period consolidated financial statements. Such
reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or shareholders equity as previously
reported.

3. INVESTMENTS IN RETAIL PARTNERSHIPS AND OTHER AFFILIATES
Retail Partnerships
As of June 30, 2005, AmREIT, indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries, owned interests in
five limited partnerships, which are accounted for under the equity method since AmREIT exercises
significant influence over the investee. In each of the partnerships, the limited partners have
the right to remove and replace the general partner by a vote of the limited partners owning a
majority of the outstanding units. These partnerships were formed to develop, own, manage, and
hold property for investment. Following is a discussion of our ownership interests in each of
these retail partnerships.
AmREIT Opportunity Fund (AOF) AmREIT Opportunity Corporation (AOC), wholly owned
subsidiary, invested $250 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a general partner in
AOF. We currently own a 10.5% limited partner interest in AOF. Liquidation of AOF commenced in
July of 2002, and as of June 30, 2005, AOF has an interest in one property. As the general
partner, AOC receives a promoted interest in cash flow and profits after certain preferred
returns are achieved for its limited partners, which to date has resulted in payments of
$812,000 to the general partner for this promotional interest.
AmREIT Income & Growth Fund, Ltd. (AIG) AmREIT Income & Growth Corporation, our
wholly owned subsidiary, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1 thousand as a
general partner in AIG. We currently own an approximately 2.0% limited partner interest in AIG.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund (MIG) AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth
Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $200 thousand as a limited partner and $1
thousand as a general partner in MIG. We currently own an approximately 1.4% limited partner
interest in MIG.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund II (MIG II) AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth II
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AmREIT, invested $400 thousand as a limited partner
and $1 thousand as a general partner in MIG II. We currently own an approximately 1.6% limited
partner interest in MIG II.
AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund III (MIG III) AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth III
Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, invested $800 thousand as a limited partner and $1
thousand as a general partner in MIG III. MIG III began raising money in June 2005, and, as of
June 30, 2005, had raised approximately $3.0 million. Our $800 thousand investment currently
represents a 26.1% limited partner interest in MIG III. As additional limited partner units are
sold in MIG III , we expect that our limited partnership interest will decline to between 0.8% and
1.6%.

Illustrating the Sharing Ratios and LP Preference provisions using AIG as an example, the LPs
share in 99% of the cash distributions until they receive an 8% preferred return. Thereafter, the
LPs share in 90% of the cash distributions until they receive a 10% preferred return. Once the
LPs receive a 15% return, the GP receives 100% of the cash distributions until such time as the GP
has received 40% of cash distributed in excess of LPs capital contributions. The GP then shares
in 40% of cash distributions thereafter. |

MIG III is a best efforts $50 million offering with an additional $50 million that can be
added at the General Partners sole discretion. The initial third party limited partner investment
was received June 22, 2005. |
Other affiliate
Other than the retail partnerships, we have an investment in one entity that is accounted for
under the equity method since we exercise significant influence over such investee. We invested
$1.1 million in West Road Plaza, LP, and we have a 25% limited partner interest in the
partnership. West Road Plaza was formed in 2004 to acquire, redevelop, lease and manage West
Road Plaza, a shopping center located on the north side of Houston, TX at the intersection of
I-45 and West Road.

4. ACQUIRED LEASE INTANGIBLES
In accordance with SFAS 141, we have identified and recorded the value of intangibles at
the property acquisition date. Such intangibles include the value of in-place leases and
out-of-market leases. These assets are amortized over the leases remaining terms, which range
from nine months to 20 years. The amortization of above-market leases is recorded as a
reduction of rental income and the amortization of in-place leases is recorded to amortization
expense.
In-place and above-market lease amounts and their respective accumulated amortization at June
30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were as follows:

Acquired lease intangible liabilities (below-market leases) are net of previously recognized
rent of $295 thousand and $63 thousand at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively and
are amortized over the leases remaining terms, which range from 10 months to 16 years. The
amortization of below-market leases is recorded as an increase to rental income.

We have an unsecured credit facility (the Credit Facility) in place which is being used to
provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. The Credit Facility
matures in October 2005 and provides that the Company may borrow up to $41 million subject to
the value of unencumbered assets. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other
restrictions, require us to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, maximum
tenant concentration ratios, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and
allow the lender to approve all distributions. On June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all
financial covenants. The Credit Facilitys interest rate spread over LIBOR varies quarterly
depending upon our debt to asset ratio and ranges from 1.40% to 2.35%. For the three months
ended June 30, 2005, the interest rate spread was 2.00 percent. As of June 30, 2005, there was
no outstanding balance under the Credit Facility. We have approximately $41 million available
under our line of credit, subject to the financial covenants and Lender approval on the use of
the proceeds. We are currently working with our lender to renew the credit facility and expect
that it will be renewed prior to its maturity in October 2005.

6. CONCENTRATIONS
As of June 30, 2005, three properties individually accounted for more than 10% of our
consolidated total assets Uptown Park in Houston, Texas, MacArthur Park in Dallas, Texas and
Plaza in the Park in Houston, Texas accounted for 25%, 15% and 12%, respectively of total
assets. Consistent with our strategy of investing in areas that we know well, 22 of our
properties are located in the Houston metropolitan area. These Houston properties represent 66%
of our rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Houston is Texas largest city and
the fourth largest city in the United States.

7. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY AND MINORITY INTEREST
Class A Common Shares Our class A common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange

A common shares outstanding, net of 26,304 shares held in treasury. During June 2005, we completed
a secondary offering of our class A common shares. We issued 2.76 million shares, including the
underwriters 360,000 share overallotment, at $8.10 per share in such offering. The offering
proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of the Uptown Park shopping center as further discussed
below. Our payment of any future dividends to our class A common shareholders is dependent upon
applicable legal and contractual restrictions, including the provisions of the class B and class C
common shares, as well as our earnings and financial needs.

we have the right to call the shares and, at the holders option, either convert them on a
one-for-one basis for class A shares or redeem them for $10.18 per share in cash plus any accrued
and unpaid dividends. As of June 30, 2005, there were 2,183,831 of our class B common shares

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
See Note 3 regarding investments in retail partnerships and other affiliates.
On July 23, 2002, we completed a merger with three of our affiliated partnerships, AAA Net Realty
Fund IX, Ltd., AAA Net Realty Fund X, Ltd., and AAA Net Realty Fund XI, Ltd. AmREIT accounted for
this merger as a purchase, whereby the assets of the partnerships have been recorded at fair value.
We increased our real estate assets by approximately $24.3 million and issued approximately 2.6
million class B common shares to the limited partners in the affiliated partnerships as a result of
the merger. Approximately $760 thousand in 8 year, 5.47% interest only, subordinated notes were
issued to limited partners of the affiliated partnerships who dissented to the merger. The
acquired properties are unencumbered, single tenant, free standing properties on lease to national
and regional tenants, where the lease is the direct obligation of the parent company. A deferred
merger expense resulted from the shares payable to H. Kerr Taylor, our President and Chief
Executive Officer, as a result of the merger, which shares represented a portion of consideration
payable to Mr. Taylor as a result of the sale of his advisory company to us. Mr. Taylor earned
shares during 2004 and 2003 as a result of our class C and class D common share offering, resulting
in a non-cash charge to earnings of approximately $1.68 million, $915 thousand and $1.9 million in
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2004, Mr. Taylor received his final installment of
shares, and, to date, he has received 900 thousand class A common shares pursuant to this
agreement. No further shares will be issued to Mr. Taylor pursuant to this deferred consideration
agreement.
We earn real estate fee income by providing property acquisition, leasing, property management and
construction management services to our retail partnerships. We own 100% of the stock of the
companies that serve as the general partner for five of the partnerships. Real estate fee income
of $1.7 million and $901 thousand were paid by the partnerships to us for the six months ended June
30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. We earn asset management fees from the partnerships for providing
accounting related services, investor relations, facilitating the deployment of capital, and other
services provided in conjunction with operating the partnerships. Asset management fees of $237
thousand and $149 thousand were paid by the partnerships to us for the six months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
As a sponsor of real estate investment opportunities to the NASD financial planning broker-dealer
community, we maintain an indirect 1% general partner interest in the investment funds that we
sponsor. The funds are typically structured such that the limited partners receive 99% of the
available cash flow until 100% of their original invested capital has been returned and a preferred
return has been met. Once this has happened, then the general partner begins sharing in the
available cash flow at various promoted levels. We also may assign a portion of this general
partner interest in these investment funds to our employees as long term, contingent compensation.
We believe that such an arrangement will align the interest of management with that of our
shareholders, while at the same time allowing for a competitive compensation structure in order to
attract and retain key management positions without increasing the overhead burden.

9. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we sold two single tenant non-core properties. The sale of
the properties resulted in a net gain of $595 thousand. The cash proceeds from the sale of these
properties were approximately $2.2 million. As a result of the sale, the operations of the
properties, including the gain on sale, have been classified as discontinued operations for all
periods presented.
On June 1, 2005, we acquired Uptown Park, a 169,000 square foot multi-tenant shopping center
located on approximately 16.85 acres of land. The property is located on the northwest corner of
Loop 610 and Post Oak Boulevard in Houston, Texas in the heart of the Uptown Houston area. The
property was developed in two phases phase one consists of approximately 147,000 square feet that
was constructed in 1999, and construction was recently completed on phase two which consists of
approximately 22,000 square feet. The property was funded with cash and the placement of long-term
fixed-rate debt. The cash portion of the purchase consideration was substantially funded by the net
proceeds from the secondary offering of our class A common shares as discussed above. The debt has
a term of 10 years and is payable interest-only to maturity at a fixed interest rate of 5.37% with
the entire principal amount due in 2015. The weighted average remaining lease term for the project
is 5.4 years.
During 2004, we invested $105.2 million through the acquisition of five multi-tenant properties.
The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations are included
in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.
On December 27, 2004, we acquired MacArthur Park shopping center, a Kroger (NYSE: KR) anchored
shopping center consisting of 198,443 square feet located on approximately 23 acres. The property,
which was acquired from Regency Centers, is located in Dallas, Texas at the northwest intersection
of I-635 and MacArthur Boulevard in the heart of Las Colinas, an affluent residential and business
community. The property is surrounded by companies such as Exxon Mobil, Citigroup and Sabre. The
property was acquired for cash and the assumption of long-term fixed rate debt. The Kroger lease
is for 20-years, containing approximately 63,000 square feet, expiring in November 2020.
On July 21, 2004, we acquired Bakery Square Shopping Center, a 34,614 square-foot retail project
including a free standing Walgreens and a shopping center anchored by Bank of America (NYSE:BOA).
This is an infill property located just west of downtown Houston and includes other national
tenants such as T-Mobile, Blockbuster Video and Boston Market. The property was acquired for cash
and the assumption of long-term fixed rate debt. The weighted average remaining lease term for the
shopping centers leases is 4.4 years. The Walgreens lease covers 15,210 square feet and is
non-cancelable until October 31, 2016, with Walgreens having the option to renew the lease every
five years thereafter until the lease expires on October 31, 2056.
On July 1, 2004, we acquired Plaza in the Park, a 138,663 square-foot Kroger anchored shopping
center located on approximately 14.3 acres. The property is located at the southwest corner of
Buffalo Speedway and Westpark in Houston, Texas. Plaza in the Parks Kroger has undergone a 13,120
square-foot expansion and is the largest Kroger grocery store in the state. The property was
acquired for cash and the assumption of long-term fixed rate debt. The weighted average remaining
lease term for the projects leases is 9.2 years. The Kroger lease is for 20 years, containing
approximately 71,000 square feet, expiring in August 2017.
On July 1, 2004, we acquired Cinco Ranch, a 97,297 square-foot Kroger anchored shopping center
located on
F-20
approximately 12.8 acres. The property is located at the northeast corner of Mason Road
and Westheimer Parkway in Katy, Texas. The property was acquired for cash and the assumption of
long-term fixed rate debt. The weighted average remaining lease term for the projects leases is
13.5 years. The Kroger lease is for 20 years, containing approximately 63,000 square-feet,
expiring in June 2023.
On June 15, 2004, we acquired Courtyard at Post Oak, consisting of a 4,013 square-foot, free
standing building occupied by Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) and a 9,584 square-foot, multi-tenant
shopping center occupied by Ninfas Restaurant and Dessert Gallery. The property is located at the
northwest intersection of Post Oak and San Felipe in Houston, Texas which is the heart of the
Uptown Houston area, the most significant retail corridor in the Greater Houston area. The
property was acquired for cash. The weighted average remaining lease term for the projects leases
is 4.7 years.
10. COMMITMENTS
In March of 2004, we signed a new lease agreement for our office facilities which expires August
31, 2009. In addition, we lease various office equipment for daily activities. Rental expense
for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $111 thousand and $60 thousand,
respectively.
11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our consolidated financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, tenant
receivables, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities and notes payable. The
carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and other liabilities are representative of their respective fair values due to the
short-term maturity of these instruments.
As of June 30, 2005, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was $116.3 million. All
of such obligations have fixed rate terms and have an estimated fair value of $123.3 million as
of June 30, 2005. As of December 31, 2004, the carrying value of our total debt obligations was
$106.0 million. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $38.0 million of our total debt
obligations had market-based terms, including a variable interest rate, and the carrying value
of such debt is therefore representative of its fair value. As of December 31, 2004,
approximately $68.0 million of our total debt obligations had fixed rate terms and had an
estimated fair value of $69.7 million.
12. SEGMENT REPORTING
The operating segments presented are the segments for which separate financial information is
available, and revenue and operating performance is evaluated regularly by senior management in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
We have historically evaluated the performance of our operating segments primarily on revenue.
During 2005, we began evaluating our operating segments based on income from continuing operations.
Accordingly, we began allocating certain overhead expenses to the individual business units to
which those expenses relate. We have recorded reclassifications to the 2004 segment expenses to
conform to the current period presentation.
The portfolio segment consists of our portfolio of single and multi-tenant shopping center
projects. This segment consists of 60 properties located in 17 states. Expenses for this segment
include depreciation,
F-21
interest, minority interest, legal cost directly related to the portfolio of
properties and the property level expenses. Our consolidated assets are substantially all in this
segment. Additionally, substantially all of the increase in total assets during the year ended
December 31, 2004 and during the six months ended June 30, 2005 occurred within the portfolio
segment. Our real estate operating and development business is a fully integrated and wholly-owned
subsidiary comprised of brokers and real estate professionals that provide development,
acquisition, brokerage, leasing, construction, asset and property management services to our
publicly traded portfolio and retail partnerships as well as to third parties. The securities
segment consists of an NASD registered securities business that, through the internal securities
group, raises capital from the independent financial planning marketplace. The retail partnerships
sell limited partnership interests to retail investors, in which we indirectly invest as both the
general partner and as a limited partner (see Note 3). These retail partnerships were formed to
develop, own, manage, and add value to properties with an average holding period of two to four
years.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information presented in this Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth
in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include the
following: changes in general economic conditions, changes in real estate market conditions,
continued availability of proceeds from our debt or equity capital, our ability to locate suitable
tenants for our properties, the ability of tenants to make payments under their respective leases,
timing of acquisitions, development starts and sales of properties and the ability to meet
development schedules.
Our consolidated financial statements and the following discussion contained herein should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and discussion included in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Historical results and trends which
might appear should not be taken as indicative of future operations.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We (AMEX: AMY) are a fully integrated, self-managed and self-advised equity REIT based in Houston,
Texas with a total market capitalization of $184 million, including all classes of our common
shares of beneficial interest. Total market capitalization has been determined by valuing our
class A and B common shares at the June 30, 2005 closing market price of our class A common shares
and valuing our class C and D common shares at their respective par values. We own and operate a
portfolio of multi-tenant and single-tenant retail properties consisting of 60 properties in 17
states as of June 30, 2005, having an aggregate gross leaseable area of approximately 1.07 million
square feet. Multi-tenant shopping centers represented 70.6% and 62.5% of annualized rental income
for the properties we owned as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Occupancy for
our operating properties was 97.6% as of June 30, 2005 as compared to 96.6% as of December 31,
2004. We also manage an additional 20 properties located in four states for our affiliated retail
partnerships.
We have focused geographically on the Sun Belt states with an emphasis on the Houston market and
other large metropolitan markets in Texas such as Dallas and San Antonio. We focus on acquiring and
selectively developing multi-tenant shopping centers anchored by major retailers. Many of our
properties are located on what we call Irreplaceable Corners which we define as premier
retail frontage locations in high-traffic, highly populated, affluent areas with high barriers to
entry. We focus on Irreplaceable Corners because we believe that these properties are in greater
demand, have greater prospects for upward movement in rents and should produce higher risk-adjusted
returns than similar properties located in other locations.
Our Structure
We are vertically integrated with three additional synergistic businesses that we believe enhance
our earnings potential, add value and support our portfolio expansion. These three synergistic
businesses are: (1) a full service real estate operating and development business; (2) a retail
partnership business; and (3) a registered
F-26
securities business. This flexible structure allows us
access to multiple avenues of low-cost capital, which can be deployed efficiently and accretively
for our shareholders. In addition, we believe our business structure cultivates growth both internally and externally, distinguishing us as a value
creator, a growth company and a source of dependable monthly income.
Following is a brief discussion of each of these three businesses that support our portfolio of
retail properties:
Our Real Estate Operating and Development Business. AmREIT Realty Investment Corporation
(ARIC), our wholly owned real estate operating and development taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS,
provides a fully integrated real estate solution including construction and development, property
management, asset acquisition and disposition, brokerage and leasing, tenant representation,
sale/leaseback and joint venture management services. We have used this business to develop client
and referral relationships with national and regional tenants, real estate owners and developers.
From these relationships, we receive fee income and access to acquisition prospects and a pipeline
of tenants.
Our Retail Partnership Business. We also are the general partner of four limited
partnerships that were formed to develop, own, manage and add value to retail properties. Unlike
the longer-term investment focus of our REIT portfolio, our retail partnerships have a greater
focus on shorter-term value creation and a limited investment period. However, certain properties
acquired by our retail partnerships may in the future be appropriate investments for us. By
providing management and other services to these retail partnerships we generate fee income and
retain a residual interest in the partnerships after a preferred return is paid to limited
partners, all of which benefits our shareholders. We believe our affiliated retail partnerships
continue to grow and as we continue to implement our active management strategy within those
partnerships.
Our Securities Business. Through AmREIT Securities Corporation, our wholly owned
registered securities broker-dealer, which is also a TRS, we sell interests in our affiliated
retail partnerships and our shares through a wholesale effort using a national network of
unaffiliated, third-party financial planners. Through our class C and D common share offerings, we
raised approximately $46.0 million in capital in 2004, which along with debt financing, financed
$105.2 million in property acquisitions and
developments in 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we raised approximately $46.6
million in capital through our class D common share offering. Having a broker-dealer subsidiary
provides us with financial flexibility to access capital from both traditional underwriters and the
independent financial planning marketplace. This provides us a more consistent access to the
capital markets and allows us to better manage our balance sheet.
Our Operating Strategy
We invest in properties where we believe effective leasing and operating strategies, combined with
cost-effective expansion and renovation programs, can improve property values while providing
superior current economic returns. Our operating strategy consists of the following elements:
|
|
|
Acquiring real estate on Irreplaceable Corners, which we define as premier retail
frontage locations in a submarket generally characterized by the following attributes: |
|
|
|
A population of at least 100,000 within a three-mile radius; |
|
|
|
|
Area average household income of at least $80,000 per year; |
|
|
|
|
High traffic visibility; |
F-27
|
|
|
Traffic counts of at least 30,000 cars per day; and |
|
|
|
|
Little available land suitable for competitive development in the area. |
|
|
|
Focusing on the Sun Belt states with an emphasis on the Texas markets where our
management team has substantial experience and local market knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
Anchoring our centers with national/regional grocery or drug stores or chain
restaurants. |
|
|
|
|
Adding value to our properties through active, hands-on management, improving tenant
quality and increasing cash flows by increasing occupancy and rental rates. |
|
|
|
|
Conducting extensive due diligence using a proprietary process called AmREIT Decision
Logic, involving our integrated team of real estate professionals with experience in
construction, property management, leasing and finance. |
|
|
|
|
Enhancing our core business through the activities of our real estate operating and
development business, our affiliated retail partnership business and our securities
broker-dealer. |
Our Growth Strategy
We intend to increase our revenues and funds from operations by executing our growth strategy,
which consists of the following elements:
|
|
|
Continuing to form partnerships to develop and/or acquire retail properties that we
believe possess significant potential for short-term appreciation in value and prospects
for capturing such value through disposition and retaining financial upside in those
properties while earning management fees. At the same time, we preserve our ability to
later acquire some or all of these properties. |
|
|
|
|
Continuing to acquire grocery-anchored strip center and lifestyle properties on
Irreplaceable Corners, primarily in the Sun Belt states, emphasizing the major Texas
markets. |
|
|
|
|
Continuing to selectively divest properties which no longer meet our core criteria and
replace them primarily with high-quality multi-tenant shopping centers on Irreplaceable
Corners. |
Competitive Advantages
We believe that our business strategy and operating structure distinguish us from many other public
and private owners, operators and acquirors of real estate in our target markets in a number of
ways, including:
|
|
|
Our fully-integrated business structure provides an advantage in evaluating properties
for acquisition or development, raising capital to finance our properties and managing
properties for our retail partnerships. |
|
|
|
Our focus on Irreplaceable Corners provides long-term stability and opportunities for
enhanced cash flows from high occupancy and increasing rents, resulting in higher
valuations for our property portfolio. |
F-28
|
|
|
We place an emphasis on major Texas markets, and our senior management team averages
more than 15 years of real estate experience in one or more of these markets. |
|
|
|
Our emphasis on major Texas markets provides us with a substantial footprint in one of
the largest and most economically stable states in the United States, where our management
team lives and has developed extensive real estate contacts, market knowledge, and
investment expertise. |
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying financial
statements and related footnotes, are subject to managements evaluation and interpretation of
business conditions, retailer performance, changing capital market conditions and other factors,
which could affect the ongoing viability of our tenants. Management believes the most critical
accounting policies in this regard are revenue recognition, the regular evaluation of whether the
value of a real estate asset has been impaired, the allowance for doubtful accounts and accounting
for real estate acquisitions. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable based on the circumstances.
Revenue Recognition We lease space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. The
majority of the leases are accounted for as operating leases with revenue being recognized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Accrued rents are included in tenant
receivables. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is
recognized in the period the related expense is recorded. Additionally, certain of the lease
agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants sales volumes
(contingent or percentage rent). Percentage rents are earned when the tenants achieve the
specified targets as defined in their lease agreements and are generally recognized when such rents
are collected. The terms of certain leases require that the
building/improvement portion of the lease be accounted for under the direct financing method. Such
method requires that an asset be recorded for the present value of such future cash flows and that
a portion of such cash flows be recognized as earned income over the life of the lease so as to
produce a constant periodic rate of return.
We have been engaged to provide various services, including development, construction,
construction management, property management, leasing and brokerage. The fees for these
services are recognized as services are provided and are generally calculated as a percentage of
revenues earned or to be earned and of property cost, as appropriate. Revenues from fixed-price
construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the
physical completion of the structure. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on
the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost
method. Construction management contracts are recognized only to the extent of the fee revenue.
Construction contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and any indirect costs
related to contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made
in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and
estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final
contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period
in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their
realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is
included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
F-29
Real Estate Valuation Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost.
Expenditures related to the development of real estate are carried at cost which includes
capitalized carrying charges, acquisition costs and development costs. Carrying charges, primarily
interest and loan acquisition costs, and direct and indirect development costs related to buildings
under construction are capitalized as part of construction in progress. The capitalization of such
costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the date of completion of major construction or when
the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy. We capitalize acquisition
costs once the acquisition of the property becomes probable. Prior to that time, we expense these
costs as acquisition expenses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an
estimated useful life of up to 50 years for buildings, up to 20 years for site improvements and
over the term of lease for tenant improvements. Leasehold estate properties, where we own the
building and improvements but not the related ground, are amortized over the life of the lease.
Management reviews our properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be
recoverable through operations. Management determines whether an impairment in value occurred by
comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including
the residual value of the property, with the carrying value of the individual property. If
impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the
asset exceeds its fair value.
Valuation of Receivables An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents,
property receivables and accounts receivable is determined based upon an analysis of balances
outstanding, payment history, tenant credit worthiness, additional guarantees and other economic
trends. Balances outstanding include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributed
to the accrual of straight line rents. Additionally, estimates of the expected recovery of
pre-petition and post-petition claims with respect to tenants in bankruptcy are considered in
assessing the collectibility of the related receivables.
Real Estate Acquisitions We account for real estate acquisitions pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations. Accordingly, we
allocate the purchase price of the acquired properties to land, building and improvements,
identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired liabilities based on their respective fair
values. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to acquired out-of-market leases and to
the value of in-place leases. We determine fair value based on estimated cash flow projections
that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information.
Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating
results, known trends and specific market and economic conditions that may affect the property.
Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as-if-vacant property value
include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market
conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes
real estate taxes, insurance and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected
lease-up periods, tenant demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to
execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related
expenses. Intangibles related to out-of-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded as
acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenues over the remaining
terms of the underlying leases. Premiums or discounts on acquired out-of-market debt are amortized
to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt.

capital to fund our ongoing operations and dividends. As we deploy the capital raised, and
expected to be raised, from our equity offerings into income producing real estate, we
anticipate that cash flow from operations will provide adequate resources for future ongoing
operations and dividends. Our cash on
hand, internally-generated cash flow, borrowings under our existing credit facilities, issuance
of equity securities, as well as the placement of secured debt and other equity alternatives,
are expected to provide the necessary capital to maintain and operate our properties as well as
execute our growth strategies.
Additionally, as part of our investment strategy, we constantly evaluate our property portfolio,
systematically selling off any non-core or underperforming assets, and replacing them with
Irreplaceable Corners(()) and other core assets. As we continue to raise
capital, we anticipate growing and increasing our operating cash flow by selling the
underperforming assets and deploying the capital generated into high-quality income producing
retail real estate assets. During 2004, this was evidenced through the purchases of Courtyard
at Post Oak, a 14 thousand square foot community shopping center, Plaza in the Park, a 139
thousand square foot grocery-anchored shopping center, Cinco Ranch Plaza, a 97 thousand square
foot grocery-anchored shopping center, Bakery Square, a 35 thousand square foot community
shopping center and MacArthur Park, a 198 thousand square foot grocery-anchored shopping center.
This strategy was further evidenced by our acquisition of Uptown Park, a 169 thousand square
foot multi-tenant shopping center, in June 2005.
In June 2004, we began marketing our class D common share offering, a $170 million
publicly-registered, non-traded common share offering, offered through the independent financial
planning community. The class D common shares have a stated, non-preferred 6.5% annual
dividend, paid monthly, are eligible for conversion into our class A common shares at any time
after a seven-year lock out period for a 7.7% premium on invested capital and are callable by us
after one year. We will utilize the proceeds from the sale of the class D shares primarily to
pay down debt or acquire additional properties. At June 30, 2005, we had raised approximately
$73.2 million through the sale of the class D common shares, including shares issued through the
dividend reinvestment program. We believe that we will be in position to meet our real estate
acquisition goals for the year with the capital that we have raised to date, coupled with the
capital we anticipate raising over the coming thirty to sixty days. Accordingly, we will be
closing our class D common share offering in the next thirty to sixty days, after having raised
approximately $105 million through this offering.
F-31
Cash provided by operating activities as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
decreased by $714 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to $3.3 million of changes
in working capital which resulted from timing differences between the revenue and expense
accruals and their related cash receipts or payments. This decrease was substantially offset by
an increase of $2.5 million in our income before the effect of depreciation and amortization,
impairment and merger costs during 2005 compared to 2004. This increase was primarily
attributable to the significant multi-tenant property acquisitions made during the second half
of 2004.
Cash flows from investing activities as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
increased from a net investing outflow of $7.6 million for the period in 2004 to a net investing
outflow of $67.7 million in 2005. This $60.1 million increase in investing outflows is
primarily attributable to an increase of $62.6 million in acquisitions of investment properties
during 2005 which was partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million in proceeds from sales of
investment properties during the same period. The increase in acquisition outflows resulted
from our acquisition of Uptown Park on June 1, 2005. Uptown Park is a 169 thousand square foot
lifestyle center located in Houston, Texas in the Galleria shopping district. The acquisition
was funded with $49.0 million of fixed-rate debt, with the remainder being paid in cash,
substantially all of which was generated by our secondary offering of our class A common shares
as further described below. With respect to the increase in proceeds from sales of investment
properties, we sold two of our non-core single-tenant properties during the period in 2005 for
$2.2 million, and we had one such property sale in the second quarter of 2004 for $694
thousand.
Cash flows provided by financing activities increased from $4.8 million during the 2004 period to
$72.5 million during the 2005 period. This $67.7 million increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in the Companys debt and equity capital-raising activities during 2005 compared to 2004.
These increases were partially offset by an increase in net payments on notes payable of $22.6
million and an increase in dividends to shareholders of $851 thousand during the period. With
respect to capital-raising activities, in June 2005, we placed $49.0 million of fixed-rate debt in
conjunction with our acquisition of Uptown Park. Additionally, we generated equity proceeds during
2005 of $66.2 million, net of issuance costs, $43.4 million more than during the 2004 period. We
completed a secondary offering of 2.76 million of our class A common shares, including 360,000
over-allotment shares exercised by the underwriters. The shares were priced at $8.10, and the net
proceeds of the offering, after underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering
expenses, were approximately $20.4 million. Additionally, we continue to raise capital through our
class D common share offering, a $170 million common share offering, offered through the
independent financial planning community. Through June 30, 2005, we have raised approximately
$73.2 million ($46.6 million raised year-to-date in 2005, net of issuance costs) through the class
D offering, including shares issued through the dividend reinvestment program. With respect to
debt service during the period, we used the available proceeds from our capital-raising activities
and made net payments on our notes payable of $38.6 million. These payments resulted in the full
paydown of our unsecured line of credit. Dividends paid to shareholders increased during the
period due to the increase in the number of class D common shareholders during 2004 and early 2005.
We have an unsecured credit facility (the Credit Facility) in place which is being used to
provide funds for the acquisition of properties and working capital. The Credit Facility matures
in October 2005 and provides that we may borrow up to $41 million subject to the value of
unencumbered assets. The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other restrictions,
require us to maintain a minimum net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, maximum tenant concentration
ratios, specified interest coverage and fixed charge coverage
F-32
ratios and allow the lender to
approve all distributions. At June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
The Credit Facilitys interest rate spread over LIBOR varies quarterly depending upon our debt to
asset ratio and varies from 1.40% to 2.35%. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the interest
rate spread was 2.00%. As of June 30, 2005, there was no balance outstanding under the Credit
Facility. We have approximately $41.0 million available under our line of credit, subject to the
financial covenants and Lender approval on the use of the proceeds. In addition to the credit
facility, we utilize various permanent mortgage financing and other debt instruments.
Contractual Obligations

Until properties are acquired by us, our funds are used to pay down outstanding debt under the
Credit Facility. This investment strategy allows us to manage our interest costs and provides us
with the liquidity to acquire properties at such time as those suitable for acquisition are
located.
Inflation has had very little effect on income from operations. Management expects that increases
in store sales volumes due to inflation as well as increases in the Consumer Price Index, may
contribute to capital appreciation of our properties. These factors, however, also may have an
adverse impact on the operating margins of the tenants of the properties.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2005 to the three months ended June 30, 2004
Revenues
Total revenues increased by $6.4 million or 162% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 2004
($10.4 million in 2005 versus $4.0 million in 2004). Rental revenues increased by $3.4 million or
291% in 2005 as compared to 2004. This increase is attributable to the significant property
acquisitions that we made in the second half of 2004 and the acquisition of Uptown Park in June
2005. Real estate fee income increased approximately $433 thousand, or 74%, primarily as a result
of brokerage commissions earned on property transactions within our retail partnerships.
During the first quarter of 2005, AmREIT Construction Company (ACC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ARIC, was formed to provide general contracting services to third parties as well as to our
affiliated retail partnerships. ACC began executing on contracts during the quarter ended June 30,
2005 and recognized $465 thousand in revenues associated with those contracts. Such revenues have
been recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
Securities commission income increased by $2.0 million or 123% in 2005 as compared to 2004. This
increase in commission income was driven by an increase in the amount of capital raised through our
broker-dealer company, AmREIT Securities Company (ASC), in the second quarter of 2005 versus 2004.
This increase was partially offset by a corresponding increase in commission expense paid to other
third party broker-dealer firms. As ASC raises capital for either AmREIT or its affiliated retail
partnerships, ASC earns a securities commission of between 8% and 10.5% of the money raised. These
commission revenues are then offset by commission payments to non-affiliated broker-dealer of
between 8% and 9%.
Expenses
Total operating expenses increased by $4.3 million, or 113%, from $3.8 million in the second
quarter of 2004 to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in depreciation and amortization and in securities commissions, as
discussed above, coupled with smaller increases in property expense and in general and
administrative expenses.
General and administrative expense increased by $791 thousand, or 58%, during 2005 to $2.2 million
compared to $1.4 million in 2004. This increase is primarily due to increases in personnel. The
Company has increased its total number of employees since June 30, 2004 in order to appropriately
match our resources with the growth in our portfolio. By building our various teams, we have not
only been able to grow revenue and funds from operations, but believe that we will be able to
sustain and further enhance our growth.
F-34
Property expense increased $766 thousand or 448% in 2005 as compared to 2004 ($937 thousand in 2005
versus $171 thousand in 2004) primarily as a result of the significant property acquisitions made
during 2004 as well as the purchase of Uptown Park in 2005.
As discussed above in Revenues, ACC was formed in the first quarter to provide general
contracting services and began executing on contracts during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. In
conjunction with those contracts, ACC has recognized $302 thousand in construction costs.
Commission expense increased by $1.5 million or 112% from $1.3 million in 2004 to $2.8 million in
2005. This increase is attributable to increased capital-raising activity through ASC during 2005
as discussed in Revenues above.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.1 million, or 550%, to $1.3 million in 2005 compared
to $204 thousand in 2004. The increased depreciation and amortization is attributable to the
significant property acquisitions made during 2004 and the purchase of Uptown Park in 2005.
Deferred merger costs were $362 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2004 and were $0 in the
three months ended June 30, 2005. The 2004 deferred merger costs were related to deferred
consideration payable to H. Kerr Taylor, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
as a result of the acquisition of our advisor in 1998, which was owned by Mr. Taylor. In
connection with the acquisition, Mr. Taylor agreed to payment for this advisory company in the form
of common shares, paid as the Company increased its outstanding equity. To date, Mr. Taylor has
received 900 thousand class A common shares, which fulfills the shares that he is owed under the
deferred consideration agreement, and no further shares will be issued to Mr. Taylor pursuant to
the deferred consideration agreement.
Other
Interest expense increased by $959 thousand, or 184%, from $522 thousand in 2004 to $1.5 million in
2005. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the debt that we assumed in 2004
related to our property acquisitions and the debt that was placed to finance the acquisition of
Uptown Park in 2005. In 2004, we assumed a total of $44.8 million in debt, net of a premium of
$1.4 million, as a result of the property acquisitions. In June 2005, we placed $49.0 million of
debt in conjunction with the acquisition of Uptown Park.
Gain on real estate acquired for resale was $872 thousand in 2005 as compared to $242 thousand in
2004. The gain recognized in 2005 is a result of selling two single-tenant properties.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2005 to the six months ended June 30, 2004
Revenues
Total revenues increased by $10.1 million or 125% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2004 ($18.2 million in 2005 versus $8.1 million in 2004). Rental
revenues increased by $6.1 million or 258% in 2005 as compared to 2004. This increase is
attributable to the significant property acquisitions that we made in the second half of 2004 and
the acquisition of Uptown Park in June 2005. Real estate fee income increased approximately $1.1
million, or 112%, primarily as a result of brokerage commissions earned on property transactions
within our retail partnerships.
F-35
During the first quarter of 2005, ACC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARIC, was formed to provide
general contracting services to third parties as well as to our affiliated retail partnerships.
ACC began executing on contracts during the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 and recognized $465
thousand in revenues associated with those contracts. Such revenues have been recognized under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
Securities commission income increased by $2.2 million or 63% in 2005 as compared to 2004. This
increase in commission income was driven by an increase in the amount of capital raised through our
broker-dealer company, ASC, in the six months ended June 30, 2005 versus the six months ended June
30, 2004. This increase was partially offset by a corresponding increase in commission expense
paid to
other third party broker-dealer firms. As ASC raises capital for either AmREIT or its affiliated
retail partnerships, ASC earns a securities commission of between 8% and 10.5% of the money raised.
These commission revenues are then offset by commission payments to non-affiliated broker-dealer
of between 8% and 9%.
Expenses
Total operating expenses increased by $5.3 million, or 63%, from $8.3 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2004 to $13.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase was
primarily attributable to increases in depreciation and amortization and securities commissions, as
discussed above, coupled with smaller increases in property costs, and in general and
administrative expenses. These expense increases were partially offset in that $1.7 million of
deferred merger charges were recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2004, and no such charges
have been recognized in 2005.
General and administrative expense increased by $1.2 million, or 48%, during 2005 to $3.8 million
compared to $2.6 million in 2004. This increase is primarily due to increases in personnel. The
Company has increased its total number of employees since June 30, 2004 in order to appropriately
match our resources with the growth in our portfolio. By building our various teams, we have not
only been able to grow revenue and funds from operations, but believe that we will be able to
sustain and further enhance our growth.
Property expense increased $1.3 million or 370% in 2005 as compared to 2004 ($1.6 million in 2005
versus $347 thousand in 2004) primarily as a result of the significant property acquisitions made
during 2004 and the Uptown Park acquisition in 2005.
As discussed above in Revenues, ACC was formed in the first quarter to provide general
contracting services and began executing on contracts during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. In
conjunction with those contracts, ACC has recognized $302 thousand in construction costs.
Commission expense increased by $1.7 million or 61% from $2.8 million in 2004 to $4.5 million in
2005. This increase is attributable to increased capital-raising activity through ASC during 2005
as discussed in Revenues above.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.0 million, or 599%, to $2.4 million in 2005 compared
to $338 thousand in 2004. The increased depreciation and amortization is attributable to the
significant property acquisitions made during 2004 and the Uptown Park acquisition in June 2005.
Deferred merger costs were $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and were $0 in the
six months ended June 30, 2005. The 2004 deferred merger costs were related to deferred
consideration payable
F-36
to H. Kerr Taylor, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
as a result of the acquisition of our advisor in 1998, which was owned by Mr. Taylor. In
connection with the acquisition, Mr. Taylor agreed to payment for this advisory company in the form
of common shares, paid as the Company increased its outstanding equity. To date, Mr. Taylor has
received 900 thousand class A common shares, which fulfills the shares that he is owed under the
deferred consideration agreement, and no further shares will be issued to Mr. Taylor pursuant to
the deferred consideration agreement.
Other
Interest expense increased by $1.9 million, or 166%, from $1.1 million in 2004 to $3.0 million in
2005. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the debt that we assumed in 2004
related to our property acquisitions as well as the debt we assumed in the Uptown Park acquisition
in June 2005. We assumed a total of $44.8 million in debt, net of a premium of $1.4 million, as a
result of these property acquisitions.
Funds From Operations
We consider FFO (funds from operations) to be an appropriate measure of the operating performance
of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO
as net income (loss) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In
addition, NAREIT recommends that extraordinary items not be considered in arriving at FFO. We
calculate FFO in accordance with this definition. Most industry analysts and equity REITs,
including us, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance
because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful
tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a companys real estate
between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental
measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with
using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our 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. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled
measures of other REITs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other
measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from
operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.
Below is the calculation of FFO and the reconciliation to net income, which we believe is the most
comparable GAAP financial measure to FFO, in thousands:

Based on adherence to the NAREIT definition of FFO, we have not added back the $362 thousand or
$1.7 million charge to earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively,
resulting from shares issued to Mr. Taylor as deferred merger consideration. Additionally, we have
not added back the $1.1 million charge to earnings for the three and six months ended June 30,
2004, resulting from an asset impairment and corresponding write-down of value. Adding these
charges back to earnings would result in adjusted funds from operations available to class A
shareholders of $744 and $1,152 thousand and adjusted FFO in excess of dividends available to class
A shareholders of $361 and $424 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to interest-rate changes primarily related to the variable interest rate on the line
of credit and related to the refinancing of long-term debt which currently contains fixed interest
rates. Our interest-rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest-rate changes
on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives,
we borrow primarily at
fixed interest rates. We currently do not use interest-rate swaps or any other derivative
financial instruments as part of our interest-rate risk management approach.
At June 30, 2005, our $116.3 million of debt obligations have fixed rate terms and have an
estimated fair value of $123.3 million. Our revolving line of credit has variable rate terms.
However, as of June 30, 2005, there is no balance outstanding on the line of credit. Accordingly,
we are not exposed to interest-rate changes on this debt instrument at period end.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and
F-38
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
