ITEM 8.01 - OTHER ITEMS

During the period November 1, 2009 through June 18, 2010, Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (“the Company”), acquired in separate transactions two properties consisting of approximately 258,000 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) and equity and debt investments in two more properties totaling 443,000 in gross leasable area, together (the "Acquisitions") for an aggregate investment of approximately $68.3 million.  Set forth in Item 9.01 are audited financial statements prepared pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X relating to a majority of Acquisitions, none of which individually are considered significant within the meaning of Rule 3-14.
 
On May 12, 2010, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the New Milford Plaza Shopping Center, a 231,000 square foot grocery anchored shopping center in New Milford, Connecticut, located in Litchfield County (“the New Milford Property”) for $22.5 million, inclusive of closing costs,, from GRE New Milford LLC (“New Milford Seller”).  There is no relationship between any Director or Officer of the Company and the New Milford Seller.  At the closing of the transaction the Company assumed a mortgage on the property held by John Hancock Life Insurance Company valued at approximately $9.2 million.  The mortgage matures on January 1, 2013 with a fair market value interest rate of 3.9%.  The Company’s cash investment of $13.8 million was funded with available cash and a $13.2 million borrowing on its unsecured line of credit.
 
In addition, on June 18, 2010, the Company purchased, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, a general partnership interest that equates to a 9.667% equity interest in the limited partnership which owns the Midway Shopping Center (“Midway”) in Scarsdale, New York for a purchase price of $5.98 million, excluding closing costs, from the Milton Axelfield Trust (“Midway Seller”).  There is no relationship between any Director or Officer of the Company and the Midway Seller.  UBP also made an additional investment in Midway in the form of an unsecured loan (“Midway Loan”) to the partnership in the approximate amount of $11.6 million which the partnership used to repay a second mortgage and unsecured loan. The Midway Loan matures in January 2013 and requires monthly payments of interest only at the per annum rate of 5.75%.  The Company completed the acquisition with available cash and a $17.45 million borrowing under its unsecured line of credit.
 
Material Factors Considered by the Company:

New Milford Property:

Market and Competition:

Prior to acquiring the New Milford Property, the Company considered general regional and local economic market conditions and the Property's competitive posture within that market.

The New Milford Property acquired is a shopping center located in the Town of New Milford, Litchfield County, Connecticut. The Property contains 231,000 square feet of GLA and is situated on 22 acres of land. At June 1, 2010 the Property was 90% leased to ten tenants whose primary businesses are the sale of retail products, goods and services.

The New Milford property was built in 1970 (renovated in the 1990’s), is located immediately alongside Route 7 (Danbury Road) and is well situated at a signalized intersection that captures car traffic heading north from I-84 to the residential and recreational destinations to the north and along Candlewood Lake. Within 3 miles, the average household income is nearly $85,000 which grows to over $95,000 within 5 miles.  There are approximately 40,000 people within 5 miles and 120,000 people within 10 miles of the property, which does not include an affluent summertime crowd that utilizes the various recreational facilities available at nearby Candlewood Lake.  For these people and other seasonal residents who have homes in Litchfield County, Route 7 is the only route to get to the next closest shopping areas which are much further away in Danbury or Torrington.

Tenants:

The property's largest tenants are Wal-Mart, a national retail chain occupying 105,000 square feet (45.4% of the property's GLA) and Stop & Shop, a subsidiary of Ahold Corporation, a national retail grocery chain occupying 73,000 square feet (31.4% of the Property's GLA). No other tenant leases more than 6% of the property's GLA.

Substantially all the leases are with tenants for terms longer than one year and generally provide for additional rental amounts based on each tenant's share of the cost of maintaining common areas and certain operating expenses including real estate taxes and insurance of the property, and percentage of gross sales rent.

The following is a schedule of lease expirations of the property by year:

(1) Based on 2010 annualized base rents.

Building and Capital Improvements:

The estimated federal tax basis of the Property (including land) is approximately $22,500,000. For federal income tax purposes, the Property will be depreciated over its estimated useful life (39 years) on a straight line basis.

Property Taxes:

The annual real estate taxes of the Property are anticipated to be approximately $305,000 for the 2010 tax year.

Property Management:

The Company manages the Property directly.

After reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any other material factors relating to the New Milford Property that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

The Company and its operations are, however, subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  For a discussion of such risks, see the risks identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 under Item 1A Risk Factors and in the other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Midway Property:

Market and Competition:

Prior to acquiring an approximate 10% equity interest in the limited partnership that owns Midway and investing an additional $11.6 million in the form of an unsecured loan to Midway, the Company considered general regional and local economic market conditions and Midway’s competitive posture within that market.  In addition, the Company considered the overall leverage levels of Midway in making the unsecured loan.  Midway currently has a first mortgage payable in the approximate amount of $14 million which bears interest at approximately 6% and is due on January 1, 2013.  Midway is a shopping center located in Scarsdale, Westchester County, New York. The property contains 247,000 square feet of GLA and is situated on 14 acres of land. At June 1, 2010, the property was 87% leased to sixteen tenants whose primary businesses are the sale of retail products, goods and services.

Midway is located on Central Avenue in Scarsdale, Westchester, County, New York, one of the highest areas of retail concentration in Westchester County. The retail market of Central Avenue is dense with many other shopping centers and free standing retailers and, although competitive, this concentration generates large amounts of retail traffic and potential customers. The surrounding area of Scarsdale, Greenburgh and Ardsley has a dense residential population.

The property was built in 1957.  The population within five miles of the property is approximately 348,000 with a median household income of approximately $82,000 per annum.

Tenants:

The property's largest tenants are a ShopRite Supermarket, a national retail grocery chain occupying 69,000 square feet (28% of the property's GLA) and Simply Amazing, a national discount clothing retailer occupying 24,000 square feet (10% of GLA).  No other tenant leases more than 5% of the property's GLA.

Substantially all the leases are with tenants for terms longer than one year and generally provide for additional rental amounts based on each tenant's share of the cost of maintaining common areas and certain operating expenses including real estate taxes and insurance of the property and percentage of gross sales rent.

The following is a schedule of lease expirations of the property by year:

(1) Based on 2010 annualized base rents.

Accounting Considerations:

Because the Company is deemed to have significant influence but does not control Midway, the Company will record its 10% equity investment in accordance with the equity method of accounting and will not consolidate the accounts of Midway.  Under the equity method of accounting the Company will record its initial $6 million investment at cost and subsequently adjust the value for its share of the net earnings of Midway and reduce its investment for any distributions it receives.

Property Taxes:

The annual real estate taxes of the Property are approximately $1.7 million for the 2010 tax year.

Property Management:

The Company will manage Midway directly beginning August 1, 2010.  The Company will also be the primary leasing agent and receive fees standard for the industry.

After reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any other material factors relating to its investment in Midway that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

The Company and its operations are, however, subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  For a discussion of such risks, see the risks identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 under Item 1A Risk Factors and in the other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses (“Historical Summary”) has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC.  The Historical Summary includes the historical revenues and certain expenses of the Property, exclusive of interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, rental income relating to the allocation of purchase price of the property to above/below market leases and management and advisory fees, which may not be comparable to the corresponding amounts reflected in the future operations of the Property.

Real Estate

Significant improvements to real estate which enhance the value are capitalized as additions to the Property's cost basis in the period in which the expenditures are incurred.

Escalation rents based on payments for real estate taxes and operating expenses are estimated and accrued. Percentage rent is recognized when a specific tenant's sales breakpoint is achieved.
