Note: The Company has adopted the definition of Funds from Operations (FFO) suggested by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) and defines FFO as net income 
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after 
adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. For a reconciliation of net income and FFO, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 35. 
FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator 
of the Company’s operating performance. The Company considers FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value 
of its real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the 
Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance. However, comparison of the Company’s presentation  
of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used  
by such REITs. For a further discussion of FFO, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 35.

LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS

We  are pleased to report that we saw continued 

improvement in the real estate markets in our 
area in 2014 and made good progress in our primary 
focus areas of leasing and acquisitions.

Improving our occupancy levels to 
our historical norm of 95% continues 
to be our most important priority. We 
improved our overall core property 
portfolio occupancy from 89.89% to 
90.80% during 2013. We currently  
own 66 properties and the average 
occupancy rate at all but two of them  
is 94%. A disproportionate share of  
our vacancies exists in the remaining 
two properties. Following is an update 
on the progress we are making in 
improving these two properties:

Staples Plaza, Yorktown 
Heights, NY: We were successful in 
a zone change application to permit 
self storage at the lower level of this 
property. We are currently building 
the first phase of a 90,000 square foot 
self storage facility to be managed 
by Excess Space Storage, the second 
largest self storage REIT. We expect 
to open for business in the spring 
and achieve significantly higher 
income operating a self storage facility 
than the $3.92 per square foot bulk 
warehouse rent we previously received 
on this space. Phase I is 60,000 square 
feet and upon stabilization we plan 
to complete phase II covering the 
remaining 30,000 square feet. Excess 
Space Storage is confident there 
is sufficient demand in the area to 
support a quality low-cost facility. 
In addition to the storage space, we 
have 38,000 square feet of retail space 
vacant at this property and are in 
discussions with retailers for almost 
all of it. We expect our patience to 
pay off and 2014 to be a big year for 
Staples Plaza.
2

Village Shopping Center, New 
Providence, New Jersey

Pavilion Shopping Center,  
White Plains, NY: We are 
continuing to pursue an application 
for a zone change at this property. To 
date, the reception from the city has 
been very positive since the benefits 
to the city of having this 191,000 
square foot mostly vacant property 
transformed into a dynamic mixed 
use development are significant. If 
approved, a mixed use project of up 
to 860,000 square feet consisting of 
apartments, retail, hotel and office 
uses could be constructed at the site. 
On the facing page is an architect’s 
rendering of one design that is being 
considered. Our goal is to obtain 
the needed zoning approvals by this 
summer and we are seeking a well-
capitalized, experienced developer to 
partner with us in a manner that will 
help us realize the value of this prime 
property in the heart of Westchester.

In last year’s letter to stockholders, we 
discussed two additional properties 
that were a cause of our increased 
vacancy rate. We are proud to report 
that we have been successful in our 
plan to re-develop and lease those two 
shopping centers, as described below.

JOHN CANNON
Senior Vice President, 
Management & Construction

Townline Square, Meriden, CT:  
At the time of last year’s annual 
report, Townline Square was only 79% 
leased. Our successful re-leasing of the 
vacant supermarket at this property 
in 2012 was a springboard to signing 
leases in 2013 with Petsmart, Fitness 
Edge (a health club), Five Below, 

Westchester Pavillion: Existing condition

Westchester Pavillion: Proposed redevelopment

and a number of smaller retailers. 
The property currently is the site of 
a great deal of construction activity 
as all of these tenants prepare to 
open for business in 2014. By year 
end, occupancy will rise to 94%. 
In addition, we are in discussions 
with retailers for almost all of the 
remaining vacancies which, we hope 
will lead to a fully occupied property 
in 2014.

Chilmark Shopping Center, 
Briarcliff Manor, NY: This year 
we were successful in obtaining the 
needed approvals to permit us to 
commence construction of a new 
14,000 square foot CVS as part of 
the re-development of this property. 
We expect CVS to open in the fall of 
2014 and any remaining vacancies to 
fill due to the desirable location and 
co-tenancy with a CVS and a Food 
Emporium Supermarket.

Linda Lacey
Senior Vice President, 
Leasing

Leasing

Our leasing indicators continued to  
improve this year. In our core portfolio 
(excluding the Chrysler warehouse 
properties sold in December), we 

renewed 555,000 square feet of tenant 
leases at an average rent increase of  
2.7% and signed 213,000 square feet of  
new leases at average rents that were 
1.0% higher than the prior leases for 
these spaces. Our leasing team has a 
solid pipeline of leases in negotiation  
on vacant space and we are clearly 
seeing an improvement in the leasing 
market. Contrary to what you may  
read about the Internet threatening 
retail, there continues to be demand 
for space. Our centers are primarily 
grocery and drug store-anchored 
properties with a high percentage of 
the small stores leased to convenience 
and service retailers. Please visit our 
improved website to learn a little  
more about your company and the 
properties that it owns!

Capital Market Events:

At the end of 2012, it was uncertain  
if interest rates would rise in 2013 
when our 8.5% Series C and E 
Preferred stocks became redeemable. 
We elected to sell $129 million of 
7.125% Series F Preferred stock in 
October 2012 so we would have the 
money on hand to redeem our 

John T. Hayes   
Senior Vice President, 
Chief Financial Officer 
and Treasurer

Diane Midollo   
Vice President and 
Controller

Series C and E Preferred stocks and 
enable the company to reduce its 
long term fixed cost of preferred stock 
dividends. As a result of this pro-
active decision, the company had to 
pay extra preferred stock dividends 
for a portion of 2013, but the resulting 
benefit of the lower cost 7.125% 
Series F Preferred stock will benefit 
the company for years to come. In 
addition, we sold 2.5 million shares 
of Class A Common stock at close to 
that stock’s all time high price, which 
raised an additional $45 million 
for our acquisition program. Our 
mortgage indebtedness grew slightly 
by $23 million during the year as we 
assumed two mortgages in connection 
with acquisitions and paid off one 
small mortgage during the year. We 
remain one of the lowest leveraged 
REITs with mortgages accounting for 
only 22% of total book capitalization 
at year end. We have no mortgages 
maturing in 2014 and only $4.7 
million in mortgages coming due in 
2015. Our $80 million credit line 
remains 71% undrawn and available to 
help support our acquisition program.

Acquisitions and Sales: 

We made some excellent acquisitions 
in 2013 and took advantage of 
strong property markets to sell two 
remaining legacy assets and two 
properties we had bought as part of a 
package that did not meet our long-
term investment parameters. In the

In total, UBP invested $71.9 million in 
equity in these new acquisitions with 
proceeds generated primarily from the 
sale of properties and proceeds from 
the October 2012 preferred stock sale. 
We are excited about the quality of 
these acquisitions and believe they will 
be accretive to 2014 earnings and solid 
long-term investments for us.

  
  
Results of Operations

In 2013, revenues rose 8.6% to a  
record $98.3 million. Excluding gains  
on marketable securities, property 
acquisition costs and other one-time 
charges, including stock redemption 
charges and excess preferred stock 
dividends, our recurring funds from 
operations rose 3.4% to $34.2 million 
when compared to the prior year’s 
funds from operations with the 
same exclusions. Property expenses 
rose 7% in 2013 due in large part to 
increased paving costs as we made 
improvements to certain properties. 
General and administrative expense 
increased by $666,000, mainly the 
result of professional fees in relation 
to the redemption of the Series C and 
E Preferred Stock and an increase in 
compensation as a result of adding  
new employees as our company 
continues to grow. General and 
administrative expenses currently  
are 1.1% of total assets.

Internet

The effect of the Internet on retailers’ 
sales and profit margins continues to 
be of concern to us and something 
we study closely. Many retailers have 
proactively adapted a “clicks and 
bricks” strategy and learned how to 
adapt. Some traditionally mall-based 
tenants are looking to move to strip 
centers where they can act as both 
shipping and pick-up centers while 
still serving their brick and mortar 
customers. We continue to feel that 
well located grocery-anchored shopping 
centers will continue to be solid long-
term investments because it is very 
expensive for Internet retailers to 
provide the same level of service at 
competitive prices that a grocery store 
can and grocery stores are adapting 
their own strategy involving at-store 
pick up and home delivery services.  
A grocery store is in effect a warehouse 
and a grocer does not need to build a 
distribution warehouse like Internet 
retailers have to. Our other tenants 

tend to have a high service component 
to them, which makes them more 
Internet resistant.

UBP Solar

This year we completed the installation 
of five roof-top solar arrays on our 
new York properties as we continue 
to take advantage of government 
subsidy programs that enable us to 
simultaneously generate an attractive 
yield on our investment, lower the  
cost of electricity to our properties and 
provide an environmental benefit.

Thomas D. Myers 
Executive Vice President,  
Chief Legal Officer and Secretary

Outlook 

Well located shopping centers are 
highly sought after in our market and 
we are seeing an increasing number 
of investors seeking to acquire them. 
While this makes continuing to grow 
our portfolio more challenging, it  
makes our existing portfolio more 
valuable. While the retail business  
is challenging, our area has higher 
income levels and lower unemployment 

than the rest of the country and 
continues to be a highly sought after 
market for most retailers. As new 
development becomes increasingly 
more difficult, the price of properties 
continues to rise and vacancy rates 
continue to fall, we expect a positive 
effect on the rents that we can charge 
and retailers can afford to pay.

In December 2013, your Board of 
Directors increased the annualized 
dividend rate on the company’s 
Class A Common stock by one cent 
a share. The increase in the dividend 
rate represents the 21st consecutive 
year that your Board of Directors has 
approved an increase in the dividend 
level and reflects the Board’s continued 
confidence in the company. The Board 
elected not to increase the dividend 
rate on the company’s Common stock 
in order to both maintain the 10% 
dividend premium that the Class A 
Common stock has to maintain in 
relation to the Common stock as 
set forth in the company’s charter 
and due to caution about possible 
future cash flow reduction from the 
company’s Pavilion shopping center 
redevelopment in White Plains, nY.

We greatly appreciate the hard  
work of our dedicated staff and 
directors and the continued  
support of our shareholders,  
tenants and their customers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business
  Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc . (“Company”), a real estate 
investment trust (“REIT”), is engaged in the acquisition, 
ownership and management of commercial real estate, 
primarily neighborhood and community shopping 
centers in the northeastern part of the United States . The 
Company’s major tenants include supermarket chains and 
other retailers who sell basic necessities . At October 31, 
2013, the Company owned or had equity interests in 66 
properties containing a total of 5 .1 million square feet of 
gross leasable area (“GLA”) . 

Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements 
include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned 
subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company 
meets certain criteria of a sole general partner in 
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board 
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 
Topic 810, “Consolidation” and ASC Topic 970-810, 
“Real Estate-General-Consolidation .” The Company has 
determined that such joint ventures should be consolidated 
into the consolidated financial statements of the Company . 
In accordance with ASC Topic 970-323, “Real Estate-
General-Equity Method and Joint ventures,” joint ventures 
that the Company does not control but otherwise exercises 
significant influence in, are accounted for under the equity 
method of accounting . See Note 10 for further discussion 
of the unconsolidated joint ventures . All significant 
intercompany transactions and balances have been 
eliminated in consolidation .
  The accompanying financial statements are prepared on 
the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America 
(“GAAP”) . The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with GAAP requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, 
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 
during the periods covered by the financial statements . 
The most significant assumptions and estimates relate 
to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue 
recognition, fair value measurements and the collectability 
of tenant and notes receivable and other assets . Actual 
results could differ from these estimates .

16

Federal Income Taxes
  The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate 
investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal 
Revenue Code (Code) . Under those sections, a REIT that, 
among other things, distributes at least 90% of real estate 
trust taxable income and meets certain other qualifications 
prescribed by the Code will not be taxed on that portion 
of its taxable income that is distributed . The Company 
believes it qualifies as a REIT and intends to distribute 
all of its taxable income for fiscal 2013 in accordance with 
the provisions of the Code . Accordingly, no provision has 
been made for Federal income taxes in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements .
  The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740, 
“Income Taxes,” that, among other things, defines a 
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the 
financial statement recognition and measurement of a 
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return . 
ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, 
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim 
periods, disclosure, and transition . Based on its evaluation, 
the Company determined that it has no uncertain tax 
positions and no unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 
2013 . As of October 31, 2013, the fiscal tax years 2010 
through and including 2013 remain open to examination 
by the Internal Revenue Service . There are currently no 
federal tax examinations in progress .

Real Estate Investments
  All costs related to the improvement or replacement of 
real estate properties is capitalized . Additions, renovations 
and improvements that enhance and/or extend the useful 
life of a property are also capitalized . Expenditures for 
ordinary maintenance, repairs and improvements that do 
not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are 
charged to operations as incurred .
  Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the fair 
value of the real estate purchased is allocated to the 
acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and 
building improvements), and identified intangible assets 
and liabilities (consisting of above-market and below-
market leases and in-place leases), in accordance with 
ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations .” The Company 
utilizes methods similar to those used by independent 
appraisers in estimating the fair value of acquired assets 
and liabilities . The fair value of the tangible assets of an 
acquired property considers the value of the property 
“as-if-vacant .” The fair value reflects the depreciated 
replacement cost of the asset . In allocating purchase price 
to identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired 
property, the value of above-market and below-market 
leases are estimated based on the differences between (i) 
contractual rentals and the estimated market rents over 
the applicable lease term discounted back to the date of 
acquisition utilizing a discount rate adjusted for the credit 
risk associated with the respective tenants and (ii) the 

notes to consolidated financial statementsestimated cost of acquiring such leases giving effect to the 
Company’s history of providing tenant improvements and 
paying leasing commissions, offset by a vacancy period 
during which such space would be leased . The aggregate 
value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (i) the 
purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing 
in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated 
fair value of the property “as-if-vacant,” determined as set 
forth above .
   Above and below-market leases acquired are recorded 
at their fair value . The capitalized above-market lease 
values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue 
over the remaining term of the respective leases and the 
capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an 
increase to rental revenue over the remaining term of the 
respective leases . The value of in-place leases is based on 
the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of 
each tenant’s lease . Factors considered include estimates 
of carrying costs during expected lease-up periods, current 
market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases . The 
value of in-place leases are amortized over the remaining 
term of the respective leases . If a tenant vacates its space 
prior to its contractual expiration date, any unamortized 
balance of their related intangible asset is recorded in the 
consolidated statement of income .

Depreciation and Amortization
  The Company uses the straight-line method for 
depreciation and amortization . Core and non-core 
properties are depreciated over the estimated useful lives 
of the properties, which range from 30 to 40 years . Property 
improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful 
lives that range from 10 to 20 years . Furniture and fixtures 
are depreciated over the estimated useful lives that range 
from 3 to 10 years . Tenant improvements are amortized 
over the shorter of the life of the related leases or their 
useful life .

Property Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
  The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 360, 
“Property, Plant, and Equipment,” and ASC Topic 205, 
“Presentation of Financial Statements .” ASC Topic 360 
and ASC Topic 205 require, among other things, that the 
assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the 
Company’s properties that have been sold or otherwise 
qualify as held for sale be classified as discontinued 
operations and presented separately in the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements . If significant to financial 
statement presentation, the Company classifies properties 
as held for sale that are under contract for sale and are 
expected to be sold within the next 12 months .

Deferred Charges
  Deferred charges consist principally of leasing commissions 
(which are amortized ratably over the life of the tenant 
leases) and financing fees (which are amortized over the 
terms of the respective agreements) . Deferred charges in 
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are shown 
at cost, net of accumulated amortization of $3,043,000 and 
$3,015,000 as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively .

Asset Impairment
  On a periodic basis, management assesses whether 
there are any indicators that the value of its real estate 
investments may be impaired . A property value is 
considered impaired when management’s estimate of 
current and projected operating cash flows (undiscounted 
and without interest) of the property over its remaining 
useful life is less than the net carrying value of the 
property . Such cash flow projections consider factors such 
as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, 
as well as the effects of demand, competition and other 
factors . To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss 
is measured as the excess of the net carrying amount of 
the property over the fair value of the asset . Changes 
in estimated future cash flows due to changes in the 
Company’s plans or market and economic conditions 
could result in recognition of impairment losses which 
could be substantial . Management does not believe that 
the value of any of its real estate investments is impaired 
at October 31, 2013 .

Revenue Recognition
  Revenues from operating leases include revenues from 
core properties and non-core properties . Rental income is 
generally recognized based on the terms of leases entered 
into with tenants . In those instances in which the Company 
funds tenant improvements and the improvements are 
deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition 
will commence when the improvements are substantially 
completed and possession or control of the space is turned 
over to the tenant . When the Company determines that 
the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company 
commences revenue recognition when possession or 
control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant 
work to begin . Minimum rental income from leases with 
scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line 
basis over the lease term . At October 31, 2013 and 2012, 
approximately $13,719,000 and $13,507,000, respectively, 
has been recognized as straight-line rents receivable 
(representing the current net cumulative rents recognized 
prior to when billed and collectible as provided by the 
terms of the leases), all of which is included in tenant 
receivables in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements . Percentage rent is recognized when a specific 
tenant’s sales breakpoint is achieved . Property operating 

17

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.expense recoveries from tenants of common area 
maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs 
are recognized in the period the related expenses are 
incurred . Lease incentives are amortized as a reduction of 
rental revenue over the respective tenant lease terms . Lease 
termination amounts are recognized in operating revenues 
when there is a signed termination agreement, all of the 
conditions of the agreement have been met, the tenant is 
no longer occupying the property and the termination 
consideration is probable of collection . Lease termination 
amounts are paid by tenants who want to terminate their 
lease obligations before the end of the contractual term of 
the lease by agreement with the Company . There is no way 
of predicting or forecasting the timing or amounts of future 
lease termination fees . Interest income is recognized as it 
is earned . Gains or losses on disposition of properties are 
recorded when the criteria for recognizing such gains or 
losses under GAAP have been met .
  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful 
accounts against the portion of tenant receivables 
(including an allowance for future tenant credit losses 
of approximately 10% of the deferred straight-line rents 
receivable) which is estimated to be uncollectible . Such 
allowances are reviewed periodically . At October 31, 
2013 and 2012, tenant receivables in the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheets are shown net of allowances 
for doubtful accounts of $3,604,000 and $3,686,000, 
respectively . During the years ended October 31, 2013, 2012 
and 2011, the Company provided $958,000, $665,000 and 
$1,009,000, respectively, for uncollectible amounts, which is 
recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement  
of income as a reduction of base rental revenue .

Cash Equivalents
  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and 
short-term investments with original maturities of less than 
three months .

Restricted Cash
  Restricted cash consists of those tenant security deposits 
and replacement and other reserves required by agreement 
with certain of the Company’s mortgage lenders for 
property level capital requirements that are required to be 
held in separate bank accounts . 

Marketable Securities
  Marketable securities consist of short-term investments 
and marketable equity securities . Short-term investments 
(consisting of investments with original maturities of  
greater than three months when purchased) and marketable 
equity securities are carried at fair value . The Company  
has classified marketable securities as available for sale . 
Unrealized gains and (losses) on available for sale securities 
are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in 
stockholders’ equity . In November 2012, the Company 
purchased approximately $27 million of REIT and preferred 
security investment funds with a portion of the proceeds 
from its completed stock sales in October 2012 . In May 2013, 
the Company sold a portion of the Company’s marketable 
security investments . The shares sold represented the entire 
REIT and preferred security and investment funds and a 
portion of our REIT Preferred Stocks . In conjunction with 
this sale the Company realized a gain on sale of marketable 
securities of approximately $1 .5 million, which will be 
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive 
income and recorded in the consolidated statement of 
income for year ended October 31, 2013 . There were no 
purchases or sales of marketable securities during the  
fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 .

  The Company analyzes unrealized losses, if any, to determine if the unrealized losses are temporary . If and when the 
Company deems unrealized losses to be other than temporary, unrealized losses will be realized and reclassified into 
earnings . The net unrealized gain at October 31, 2013 and 2012 is detailed below (in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments
  The Company occasionally utilizes derivative financial 
instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage its 
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates . The Company 
has established policies and procedures for risk assessment 
and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative 
financial instruments . Derivative financial instruments 
must be effective in reducing the Company’s interest rate 
risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting . 
When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, 
or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all 
changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-
to-market with changes in value included in net income 
for each period until the derivative instrument matures 
or is settled . Any derivative instrument used for risk 
management that does not meet the hedging criteria is 
marked-to-market with the changes in value included in 
net income . The Company has not entered into, and does 
not plan to enter into, derivative financial instruments 
for trading or speculative purposes . Additionally, the 
Company has a policy of entering into derivative  
contracts only with major financial institutions . 
  As of October, 31, 2013, the Company believes it has 
no significant risk associated with non-performance of 
the financial institution that is the counterparty to its 
derivative contracts . At October 31, 2013, the Company had 
approximately $3 .7 million in secured mortgage financings 
subject to interest rate swaps . Such interest rate swaps 
converted the LIBOR-based variable rates on the mortgage 
financings to a fixed annual rate of 3 .95% per annum . As 
of October 31, 2013, the Company had a deferred asset of 
$81,000 (included in prepaid expenses and other assets on 
the consolidated balance sheets) relating to the fair value 
of the Company’s interest rate swaps applicable to secured 
mortgages . Charges and/or credits relating to the changes 
in fair values of such interest rate swaps are made to other 
comprehensive income as the swap is deemed effective and 
is classified as a cash flow hedge . There were no significant 
amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements 
for the above swaps in either fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2011 .

Comprehensive Income
  Comprehensive income is comprised of net income 
applicable to Common and Class A Common stockholders 
and other comprehensive income (loss) . Other 
comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are 
otherwise recorded directly in stockholders’ equity, such 
as unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities 
and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps 
designated as cash flow hedges . At October 31, 2013, 
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted 

of net unrealized losses on marketable securities of 
approximately $19,000 and net unrealized gains on an 
interest rate swap agreement of approximately $81,000 . 
At October 31, 2012, accumulated other comprehensive 
income (loss) consisted of net unrealized gains on 
marketable securities of approximately $38,000 and net 
unrealized losses on an interest rate swap agreement 
of approximately $55,000 . Unrealized gains and losses 
included in other comprehensive income (loss) will be 
reclassified into earnings as gains and losses are realized . 

Concentration of Credit Risk
  Financial instruments that potentially subject the 
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily 
of cash and cash equivalents, and tenant receivables . The 
Company places its cash and cash equivalents in excess of 
insured amounts with high quality financial institutions . 
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its 
tenants and may require certain tenants to provide security 
deposits or letters of credit . Though these security deposits 
and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the terminal 
value of a tenant’s lease obligation, they are a measure of 
good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic 
costs associated with lost rent and the costs associated with 
re-tenanting the space . There is no dependence upon any 
single tenant .

Earnings Per Share
  The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per 
share in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, 
“Earnings Per Share .” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) 
excludes the impact of dilutive shares and is computed by 
dividing net income applicable to Common and Class A 
Common stockholders by the weighted average number of 
Common shares and Class A Common shares outstanding 
for the period . Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution 
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue 
Common shares or Class A Common shares were exercised 
or converted into Common shares or Class A Common 
shares and then shared in the earnings of the Company . 
Since the cash dividends declared on the Company’s 
Class A Common stock are higher than the dividends 
declared on the Common Stock, basic and diluted EPS 
have been calculated using the “two-class” method . The 
two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that 
determines earnings per share for each class of common 
stock according to the weighted average of the dividends 
declared, outstanding shares per class and participation 
rights in undistributed earnings .

Stock-Based Compensation
  The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation 
plans under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock 
Compensation,” which requires that compensation expense 
be recognized based on the fair value of the stock awards 
less estimated forfeitures . The fair value of stock awards  
is equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the 
grant date .

Segment Reporting
  The Company operates in one industry segment, 
ownership of commercial real estate properties, which  
are located principally in the northeastern United States . 
The Company does not distinguish its property operations 
for purposes of measuring performance . Accordingly,  
the Company believes it has a single reportable segment 
for disclosure purposes .

20

Reclassification
  Certain fiscal 2011 and 2012 amounts have been 
reclassified to conform to current period presentation .

New Accounting Standards

Adopted in Fiscal 2013
  In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, 
“Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation 
of Comprehensive Income .” ASU 2011-05 eliminates the 
option to present components of other comprehensive 
income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity 
and requires the presentation of components of net 
income and components of other comprehensive income 
either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive 
income or in two separate but consecutive statements . 
This pronouncement became effective for the Company 
in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and as a result the 
Company has included a separate consolidated statement 
of comprehensive income immediately following the 
consolidated statement of income as required by the ASU . 
  In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, 
“Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Reporting 
of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income .” ASU 2013-02 requires the 
reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other 
comprehensive income . The amendments in ASU 2013-02 
seek to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report 
the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated 
other comprehensive income on the respective line items 
in net income if the amount being reclassified is required 
under US GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net 
income . The Company adopted this pronouncement in the 
second quarter of fiscal 2013 . The effect of the adoption of 
this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on 
our consolidated financial statements .

United States . These properties are considered core 
properties of the Company . The remaining properties 
are located outside of the northeastern United States and 
are considered non-core properties . Since a significant 
concentration of the Company’s properties are in the 
northeast, market changes in this region could have an 
effect on the Company’s leasing efforts and ultimately its 
overall results of operations . The following is a summary

  Space at the Company’s core properties is generally leased 
to various individual tenants under short and intermediate-
term leases which are accounted for as operating leases . 
  Minimum rental payments on non-cancelable operating 
leases in the consolidated core properties totaling 
$414,296,000 become due as follows: 2014—$68,029,000; 
2015—$61,914,000; 2016—$55,132,000; 2017—$48,497,000; 
2018—$37,239,000 and thereafter—$143,485,000 .
  Certain of the Company’s leases provide for the payment 
of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s 
revenues . Such additional percentage rents are included 
in operating lease income and were less than 1% of 
consolidated revenues in each of the three years ended 
October 31, 2013 .

Owned Properties and Properties Under Contract

  In May 2013, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased two retail properties located in 
Greenwich, CT, with a combined GLA totaling 24,000 
square feet (“Greenwich Properties”), for $18 .0 million . In 
conjunction with the purchase, the Company assumed an 
existing first mortgage loan encumbering the properties 
at its estimated fair value of $8 .3 million . The assumption 
of the mortgage loan represents a non-cash financing 
activity and is therefore not included in the accompanying 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended 
October 31, 2013 . The mortgage loan requires monthly 
payments of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4 .0% 
per annum . The mortgage matures in August 2016 . The 
Company funded its remaining equity needed to complete 
the purchase with proceeds from its Class A Common 
Stock and Series F Preferred Stock offerings completed 
in October 2012 . In conjunction with the purchase, the 
Company incurred acquisition costs totaling $78,000, which 
have been expensed in the year ended October 31, 2013 
consolidated statement of income .
  In May 2013, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased a 110,000 square foot retail shopping 
center located in New Providence, New Jersey (“New 
Providence”) for $34 .9 million . In connection with the 
purchase, the Company assumed a first mortgage loan 
encumbering the property at its estimated fair value 
of $21 .3 million . The assumption of the mortgage loan 
represents a non-cash financing activity and is therefore 
not included in the accompanying consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2013 . The 
mortgage loan requires monthly payments of principal 
and interest at the fixed rate of 4 .0% per annum . The 
mortgage matures in January 2022 . The Company funded 
its remaining equity needed to complete the purchase  
with proceeds from its Class A Common Stock and 
Series F Preferred Stock offerings completed in October 
2012 . In conjunction with the purchase, the Company 
incurred acquisition costs totaling $227,000, which 
have been expensed in the year ended October 31, 2013 
consolidated statement of income .
  In January and March 2013, the Company purchased 
six free standing net leased properties (“Net Leased 
Properties”) located in the Company’s core marketplace 
with a combined GLA of 20,200 square feet . The gross 
purchase price of the six properties was $7 .8 million .  
The Company funded its equity with proceeds from 
its Class A Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock 
offerings completed in October 2012 . In conjunction with 
the purchase, the Company incurred acquisition costs 
totaling $73,000, which have been expensed in the year 
ended October 31, 2013 consolidated statement of income .

  In December 2012, subsidiaries of the Company 
purchased two suburban office buildings (“NJ Office 
Buildings”) located in the Company’s core marketplace 
with a combined GLA of 23,500 square feet . The gross 
purchase price of the two properties was $6 .5 million .  
The Company funded its equity to complete the purchase 
with proceeds from its Class A Common Stock and  
Series F Preferred Stock offerings completed in October 
2012 . In conjunction with the purchase, the Company 
incurred acquisition costs totaling $103,000, which 
have been expensed in the year ended October 31, 2013 
consolidated statement of income .
  On July 24, 2009 the state of Connecticut acquired certain 
areas of a property owned by two of the Company’s 
wholly owned subsidiaries through a combination of 
condemnation and easement due to the re-construction of 
a bridge over the property and awarded the Company’s 
subsidiaries a total of approximately $2 .0 million . In 
December 2012, the Company received an additional 
$2 .7 million award from the state of Connecticut for 
the condemnation and easement . Approximately $4 .27 
million of the total award represents amounts paid to 
the Company for easements provided to the state of 
Connecticut for certain areas of the property through  
the end of the construction period, loss of rental income 
and property restoration costs . The Company will  
continue to amortize the original $1 .8 million easement  
and loss of rental income proceeds as an addition to 
income on a straight line basis evenly over the 10 year 
life of the easement and lost rent period and the newly 
awarded $2 .46 million easement and loss of rental income 
over the remaining 6 .75 year life of the easement and loss 
of rent income .
  The Company has accounted for the condemnation 
portion of the award in accordance with ASC Topic 605 
– Revenue Recognition, Subtopic 40 – Gains and Losses 
which requires the Company to record a gain or loss 
on the excess or deficit of the proceeds received over 
the estimated net book value of the condemned non-
monetary asset . As a result of the transaction the Company 
has recorded an additional gain on condemnation of 
approximately $213,000 which is recorded in other income 
on the consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year 
ended October 31, 2013 .
  In December 2011, a subsidiary of the Company acquired 
the Eastchester Plaza Shopping Center (“Eastchester”) in 
the Town of Eastchester, Westchester County, New York 
for a purchase price of $9 million . In connection with 
the purchase, the Company assumed a first mortgage 
encumbering the property at its estimated fair value of  
$3 .6 million . The assumption of the mortgage loan 
represents a non-cash financing activity and is therefore 
not included in the accompanying consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2012 . The 
mortgage matured in April 2012 and was repaid . The 
remaining equity needed to complete the acquisition 

notes to consolidated financial statementswas funded with available cash and borrowings on 
the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility . In 
conjunction with the purchase, the Company incurred 
acquisition costs totaling $33,000, which have been 
expensed in the year ended October 31, 2012 consolidated 
statement of income .
  In October 2011, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, completed the purchase of the 63,000 
square foot Fairfield Centre Shopping Center, in Fairfield,

in the property with available cash and a borrowing on its 
unsecured revolving credit facility . In conjunction with the 
purchase, the Company incurred acquisition costs totaling 
$19,000 which have been expensed in the year ended 
October 31, 2011 consolidated statement of income .
  In April 2011, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, completed the purchase of the 72,000 square 
foot Fairfield Plaza Shopping Center, in New Milford, 
Connecticut (“Fairfield Plaza”), for a purchase price of 
$10 .8 million, subject to an existing first mortgage secured 
by the property at its estimated fair value of approximately 
$5 .0 million . The assumption of the mortgage loan 
represents a non-cash financing activity and is therefore 
not included in the accompanying consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2011 . The 
Company financed its net investment in the property with 
available cash and a borrowing on its unsecured revolving 
credit facility . In conjunction with the purchase, the 
Company incurred acquisition costs totaling $53,000 which 
have been expensed in the year ended October 31, 2011 
consolidated statement of income .
  In fiscal 2013, the Company completed evaluating the 
fair value of the in-place leases for UB Orangeburg, LLC 
(“Orangeburg”) (see Note 9), acquired in fiscal 2012 and 
has concluded that no value needs to be assigned to those 
leases . In addition, the Company completed evaluating 
the fair value of the in-place leases for the properties it 
acquired in fiscal 2013 and as a result of its evaluation the 
Company has allocated $234,000 to an asset associated 
with the net fair value assigned to the acquired leases for 
the Greenwich Properties, a $291,000 asset associated with 
the net fair value assigned to the acquired leases for the NJ 
Office Buildings and a $402,000 liability associated with the 
net fair value assigned to the acquired leases for the Net 
Leased Properties . All of these amounts represent non-cash 
investing activities and are therefore not included in the 
accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for  
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 .
  During fiscal 2012, the Company completed its evaluation 
of the acquired leases for Eastchester Plaza, which was 
acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2012, and its Fairfield 
Centre Property and Fairfield Plaza properties, which were 
acquired in fiscal 2011 . As a result of its evaluation, the 
Company has allocated $392,000 to a liability associated 
with the net fair value assigned to the acquired leases at 

Eastchester and $765,000 to a liability associated with the 
net fair value assigned to the acquired leases at Fairfield 
Centre . The Company determined that no purchase price 
adjustment was necessary in order to ascribe value to the 
in-place leases at Fairfield Plaza . These amounts represents 
a non-cash investing activity and are therefore not included 
in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows 
for the year ended October 31, 2012 . 
  During fiscal 2011, the Company completed its 
evaluation of the acquired leases for its New Milford Plaza 
Property and its Katonah Property, which properties were 
acquired in fiscal 2010 . As a result of its evaluation, the 
Company has allocated $396,000 to a liability associated 
with the net fair value assigned to the acquired leases 
at the properties, which amounts represent a non-cash 
investing activity and are therefore not included in the 
accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for  
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 . 
  For the years ended October 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
the net amortization of above-market and below-market 
leases amounted to $419,000, $515,000 and $262,000, 
respectively, which amounts are included in base rents in 
the accompanying consolidated statements of income .
  In fiscal 2013, the Company incurred costs of 
approximately $9 .5 million related to capital improvements 
to its properties and leasing costs .

  The Company has an $80 million Unsecured Revolving 
Credit Facility with a syndicate of four banks led by  
The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent . 
The syndicate also includes Wells Fargo Bank N .A . 
(syndication agent), Bank of Montreal and Regions 
Bank (co-documentation agents) . The Facility gives the 
Company the option, under certain conditions, to increase 
the Facility’s borrowing capacity up to $125 million . The 
maturity date of the Facility is September 21, 2016 with a 
one-year extension at the Company’s option . Borrowings 
under the Facility can be used for, among other things, 

24

acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, and 
repayment of other indebtedness and the issuance of letters 
of credit (up to $10 million) . Borrowings will bear interest 
at the Company’s option of Eurodollar rate plus 1 .5% to 
2 .0% or The Bank of New York Mellon’s prime lending 
rate plus 0 .50% based on consolidated indebtedness, as 
defined . The Company will pay an annual fee on the 
unused commitment amount of up to 0 .25% to 0 .35% based 
on outstanding borrowings during the year . The Facility 
contains certain representations and financial and other 
covenants typical for this type of facility . The Company’s 
ability to borrow under the Facility is subject to its 
compliance with the covenants and other restrictions on an 
ongoing basis . The principal financial covenants limit the 
Company’s level of secured and unsecured indebtedness 
and additionally require the Company to maintain certain 
debt coverage ratios . The Company was in compliance 
with such covenants at October 31, 2013 .
  At October 31, 2013, the Company had borrowed a total 
of $9 .25 million on its Facility to fund a portion of its equity 
for a property acquisitions and capital improvements 
to its properties . In a prior year, the Company had 
borrowed $11 .6 million on its Facility to loan to one of its 
unconsolidated joint ventures . In fiscal 2013 the loan was 
repaid and the Company in-turn repaid the $11 .6 million 
borrowed under the Facility .
  During fiscal 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, assumed an existing first mortgage loan 
encumbering the Greenwich Properties at its estimated fair 
value of $8 .3 million . The mortgage loan requires monthly 
payments of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4 .0% 
per annum . The mortgage matures in August 2016 .
  During fiscal 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, assumed a first mortgage loan 
encumbering the New Providence Property at its estimated

of 4 .0% per annum . The mortgage matures in January 2022 . 
  In June of fiscal 2013, the Company repaid, at maturity, 
its first mortgage payable secured by its veteran’s Plaza 
property in the amount of $3 .2 million .
  During fiscal 2012, the Company borrowed a total of

Subsequent to the assumption, Orangeburg extended the 
loan with the current lender for an additional five years, 
leaving all terms unchanged, except the interest rate 
that was adjusted to a fixed rate of 2 .78% . The loan now 
matures in October 2017 . The operating agreement for 
Orangeburg requires that the loan be refinanced and  
not repaid at maturity . 
  In February 2012, the Company borrowed $28 million 
by placing a non-recourse first mortgage on one of its 
unencumbered properties . The loan is for a term of ten 
years and will require payments of principal and interest 
based on a thirty-year amortization schedule at the fixed 
interest rate of 4 .85% . The proceeds of the loan were used 
to repay approximately $28 million in borrowing on the 
Company’s revolving credit facility .
  In October 2012, the Company repaid, at maturity, 
its first mortgage payable secured by its New Milford 
property in the amount of $8 .3 million .
  In August 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
Company completed the installation of a solar power 
system (the “Ferry System”) at the Company’s Ferry Plaza 
Shopping Center in Newark, New Jersey at a total cost 
of approximately $1 .7 million . The subsidiary financed 
a portion of the project with a loan in the amount of $1 .1 
million from The Public Service Electric and Gas Company 
of New Jersey (“PSE&G”), through PSE&G’s “Solar Loan 
Program II” . The loan requires monthly payments of 
principal and interest at 11 .3% per annum through its 
maturity date of August 31, 2027 . The subsidiary has the 
option of repaying all or part of the PSE&G loan, including 
interest, with Solar Renewable Energy Credits (“SREC’s”) 
that are expected to be generated by the Ferry System .

(9)  CONSOLIDATED JOINT vENTURES  

AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING 
INTERESTS

  The Company has an investment in two joint ventures, 
UB Ironbound, LP (“Ironbound”) and Orangeburg, each of 
which owns a commercial retail real estate property . The 
Company has evaluated its investment in these two joint 
ventures and has concluded that both ventures are not 
variable Interest Entities (“vIE or vIE’s”), however both 
joint venture investments meet certain criteria of a sole 
general partner (or limited liability member) in accordance 
with ASC Topic 970-810, “Real Estate-Consolidation .”  
The Company has determined that such joint ventures are 
fully controlled by the Company and that the presumption 
of control is not offset by any rights of any of the limited 
partners or non-controlling members in either venture 
and that both joint ventures should be consolidated into 
the consolidated financial statements of the Company . The 
Company’s investment in both consolidated joint ventures 
is more fully described below:

Ironbound (Ferry Plaza)
  The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, is the 
general partner and owns 84% of one consolidated limited 
partnership, Ironbound, which owns a grocery anchored 
shopping center .

26

  The Ironbound limited partnership has a defined 
termination date of December 31, 2097 . The partners in 
Ironbound are entitled to receive an annual cash preference 
payable from available cash of the partnership . Any unpaid 
preferences accumulate and are paid from future cash, if 
any . The balance of available cash, if any, is distributed 
in accordance with the respective partner’s interests . The 
limited partners in Ironbound currently have the right to 
require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 
remaining limited partner interests at prices as defined in 
the Ironbound partnership agreement . Upon liquidation 
of Ironbound, proceeds from the sale of partnership assets 
are to be distributed in accordance with the respective 
partnership interests . The limited partners are not obligated 
to make any additional capital contributions to the 
partnership . The Company retains an affiliate of one of the 
limited partners in Ironbound to provide management and 
leasing services to the property at an annual fee equal to 
2 .00% percent of rental income collected, as defined . 

Orangeburg
  The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, is 
the managing member and owns an approximate 10 .9% 
interest in Orangeburg, which owns a grocery anchored 
shopping center in Orangeburg, NY . The other member 
(non-managing) of Orangeburg is the prior owner of the 
contributed property who, in exchange for contributing 
the net assets of the property, received units of Orangeburg 
equal to the value of the contributed property less the value 
of the assigned first mortgage payable . The Orangeburg 
operating agreement provides for the non-managing 
member to receive an annual cash distribution equal 
to the regular quarterly cash distribution declared by 
the Company for one share of the Company’s Class A 
Common stock for each unit of Orangeburg ownership . 
The annual cash distribution will be paid from available 
cash, as defined, of Orangeburg . If there is an available cash 
shortfall, the managing member must contribute or loan 
additional capital to fund the non-managing member’s 
required cash distribution . The balance of available 
cash, if any, is fully distributable to the Company . Upon 
liquidation, proceeds from the sale of Orangeburg assets 
are to be distributed in accordance with the operating 
agreement . The non-managing member is not obligated 
to make any additional capital contributions to the 
partnership . Orangeburg has a defined termination date 
of December 31, 2097 . Since purchasing this property, the 
Company has made additional investments in the amount 
of $881,000 in Orangeburg and as a result as of October 31, 
2013 its ownership percentage has increased from to 10 .9% 
from approximately 2% at inception .

notes to consolidated financial statementsNoncontrolling interests:
  The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests in 
accordance with ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation .” Because 
the limited partners or noncontrolling members in both 
Ironbound and Orangeburg have the right to require 
the Company to redeem all or a part of their limited 
partnership or limited liability company units at prices 
as defined in the governing agreements, the Company 
reports the noncontrolling interests in both consolidated 
joint ventures in the mezzanine section, outside of 
permanent equity, of the consolidated balance sheets at 
redemption value which approximates fair value . The 
value of the Orangeburg redemption is based solely on 
the price of the Company’s Class A Common stock on 
the date of redemption . For the years ended October 31, 
2013 and 2012, the Company adjusted the carrying value 
of the noncontrolling interests by $422,000 and $(127,000), 
respectively, with the corresponding adjustment recorded 
in stockholders’ equity .

Company’s redeemable non-controlling interests at

Chestnut Ridge and Plaza 59 Shopping Centers
  In December 2012, the Company, through two wholly 
owned subsidiaries, purchased a 50% undivided equity 
interest in the 76,000 square foot Chestnut Ridge Shopping 
Center located in Montvale, New Jersey (“Chestnut”) and 
the 24,000 square foot Plaza 59 Shopping Center located 
in Spring valley, New York (“Plaza 59”) for a combined 
investment of approximately $18 million . The Company 
accounts for its investment in Chestnut and Plaza 59 
under the equity method of accounting since it exercises 
significant influence, but does not control the ventures . 
The other venturer in both properties has substantial 
participation rights in the financial decisions and operation 
of each property, which preclude the Company from 
consolidating the investment . The Company has evaluated 
its investment in the two properties and has concluded 
that the ventures are not vIEs . Under the equity method 
of accounting the initial investment is recorded at cost 
as an investment in unconsolidated joint venture, and 
subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and 
cash contributions and distributions from the venture . Any 
difference between the carrying amount of the investment 
on the Company’s balance sheet and the underlying equity 
in net assets of each venture is evaluated for impairment at 
each reporting period . 

Midway Shopping Center, L.P .
  The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary,  
owns an 11 .642% equity interest in Midway Shopping 
Center L .P . (“Midway”), which owns a 247,000 square  
foot shopping center in Westchester County, New York .  
In addition, the Company loaned Midway, in the form of 
an unsecured note, approximately $13 .2 million . The loan 
to Midway by the Company required monthly payments  
to the Company of interest only at 5 .75% per annum .  
The loan matured on January 1, 2013 and was repaid .  
The Company has evaluated its investment in Midway 
and has concluded that the venture is not a vIE and 
should not be consolidated into the financial statements 
of the Company . Although the Company only has an 
approximate 12% equity interest in Midway, it controls 
25% of the voting power of Midway and as such has 
determined that it exercises significant influence over  
the financial and operating decisions of Midway and 
accounts for its investment in Midway under the equity 
method of accounting . Under the equity method of 
accounting the initial investment is recorded at cost 
as an investment in unconsolidated joint venture, and 
subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss)  
and cash contributions and distributions from the 
venture . Any difference between the carrying amount of 
the investment on the Company’s balance sheet and the 
underlying equity in net assets of the venture is evaluated 
for impairment at each reporting period .

value to real property and is amortizing the difference over 
the property’s estimated useful life of 39 years .
  Midway currently has a non-recourse first mortgage 
payable in the amount of $32 million . The loan requires 
payments of principal and interest at the rate of 4 .80%  
per annum and will mature in 2027 . 

Putnam Plaza Shopping Center
  The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, 
owns a 66 .67% undivided equity interest in the 189,000 
square foot Putnam Plaza Shopping Center (“Putnam 
Plaza”) . The Company accounts for its investment in the 
Putnam Plaza joint venture under the equity method of 
accounting since it exercises significant influence, but does 
not control the venture . The other venturer in Putnam 
Plaza has substantial participation rights in the financial 
decisions and operation of the property, which preclude 
the Company from consolidating the investment . The

amount of the investment on the Company’s balance sheet 
and the underlying equity in net assets of the venture is 
evaluated for impairment at each reporting period . 
  Putnam Plaza has a first mortgage payable in the amount 
of $21 million . The mortgage requires monthly payments 
of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4 .17% and will 
mature in 2019 .

joint venture is a 20% economic interest in a partnership  
which owns a retail and office building in Westchester 
County, New York .

convert all or part of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock 
held by such holder on the applicable conversion date into 
a number of the Company’s shares of Class A common 
stock . Underwriting commissions and costs incurred in 
connection with the sale of the Series F Preferred Stock are 
reflected as a reduction of additional paid in capital .
  During fiscal 2012, the Company sold 2,500,000 shares 
of Class A Common Stock in an underwritten follow-on 
common stock offering for $19 .16 per share and raised net 
proceeds of $47 .5 million . The Company used the proceeds 
of the offering to repay an $8 million existing draw on its 
Facility and to repay an existing $8 .3 million mortgage 
on one its properties when it matured . The balance of the 
proceeds was used for the Company’s equity needed for 
property acquisitions in fiscal 2013 .

(13) FAIR vALUE MEASUREMENTS
  ASC Topic 820, “Fair value Measurements and 
Disclosures,” defines fair value as the price that would be 
received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an 
orderly transaction between market participants .
  ASC Topic 820’s valuation techniques are based on 
observable or unobservable inputs . Observable inputs 
reflect market data obtained from independent sources, 
while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market 
assumptions . These two types of inputs have created the 
following fair value hierarchy:
	 •		Level	1—Quoted	prices	for	identical	instruments	in	

active markets

	 •		Level	2—Quoted	prices	for	similar	instruments	in	

active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar 
instruments in markets that are not active; and model-
derived valuations in which significant value drivers 
are observable

	 •		Level	3—Valuations	derived	from	valuation	techniques	
in which significant value drivers are unobservable

  Marketable debt and equity securities are valued based 
on quoted market prices on national exchanges . 
  The Company calculates the fair value of the redeemable 
noncontrolling interests based on either quoted market 
prices on national exchanges or unobservable inputs 
considering the assumptions that market participants 
would make in pricing the obligations . The inputs used 
include an estimate of the fair value of the cash flow 
generated by the limited partnership in which the  
investor owns the partnership units .
  The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined 
using widely accepted valuation techniques, including 
discounted cash flow analysis, on the expected cash flows 
of each derivative . The analysis reflects the contractual 
terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and 
uses observable market-based inputs, including interest 
rate curves (“significant other observable inputs .”) The 
fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of 
non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” 
such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate 
the likelihood of default . The Company has concluded, 
as of October 31, 2013, that the fair value associated with 
the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the 
Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to 
the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements 
and, as a result, the Company has determined that the 
relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of 
the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety,  
were based upon “significant other observable inputs .”

  Fair market value measurements based upon Level 3 
inputs changed from $2,824 at November 1, 2011 to $2,837 
at October 31, 2012 as a result of a $13 increase in the 
redemption value of the Company’s noncontrolling interest 
in Ironbound in accordance with the application of ASC 
Topic 810 . Fair market value measurements based upon 
Level 3 inputs changed from $2,837 at November 1, 2012 
to $2,897 at October 31, 2013 as a result of a $60 increase 
in the redemption value of the Company’s noncontrolling 
interest in Ironbound in accordance with the application  
of ASC Topic 810 (see Note 9) . 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
  The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, 
restricted cash, tenant receivables, prepaid expenses, 
other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are 
reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the 
short-term nature of these instruments . The carrying value 
of the revolving credit facility is deemed to be at fair value 
since the outstanding debt is directly tied to monthly 
LIBOR contracts . Mortgage notes payable that were 
assumed in property acquisitions were recorded at their 
fair value at the time they were assumed . Mortgage notes 
payable are estimated to have a fair value of approximately 
$155 million and $139 million at October 31, 2013 and 
October 31, 2012, respectively . The estimated fair value 
of mortgage notes payable is based on discounting the 

future cash flows at a year-end risk adjusted borrowing 
rate currently available to the Company for issuance of 
debt with similar terms and remaining maturities . These 
fair value measurements fall within level 2 of the fair 
value hierarchy . When the Company acquires a property 
it is required to fair value all of the assets and liabilities, 
including intangible assets and liabilities, relating to the 
properties in-place leases (see Note 3) . Those fair value 
measurements fall within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy .
  Although management is not aware of any factors that 
would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, 
such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for 
purposes of these financial statements since that date and 
current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from 
the amounts presented herein .

(14) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
  In the normal course of business, from time to time, 
the Company is involved in legal actions relating to 
the ownership and operations of its properties . In 
management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that ultimately 
may result from such legal actions are not expected to 
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial 
position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company .
  At October 31, 2013, the Company had commitments of 
approximately $7 .5 million for tenant-related obligations .

statements of income for the years ended October 31, 2013 
and 2012 adjusted to give effect to the property acquisitions 
completed in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 (see Note 3), the 
issuance of 2 .5 million Class A Common shares in fiscal 
2012 and the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock in fiscal 
2012 as though these transactions were completed on 
November 1, 2011 . In addition the pro forma information 
removes dividend income and gain on marketable

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  The following discussion should be read in conjunction 
with the consolidated financial statements of the Company 
and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report .

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
  This report includes certain statements that may be 
deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the 
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934, as amended . All statements, other than 
statements of historical facts, included in this report 
that address activities, events or developments that the 
Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may 
occur in the future, including such matters as future capital 
expenditures, dividends and acquisitions (including the 
amount and nature thereof), business strategies, expansion 
and growth of the Company’s operations and other such 
matters, are forward-looking statements . These statements 
are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by 
the Company in light of its experience and its perception 
of historical trends, current conditions, expected future 
developments and other factors it believes are appropriate . 
Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, 
risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, 
general economic and business conditions, the business 
opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by the 
Company, changes in laws or regulations and other factors, 
many of which are beyond the control of the Company . 
Any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of 
future performance and actual results or developments 
may differ materially from those anticipated in the 
forward-looking statements .

ExECUTIvE SUMMARY AND OvERvIEW 
  The Company, a REIT, is a fully integrated, self-
administered real estate company, engaged in the 
acquisition, ownership and management of commercial 
real estate, primarily neighborhood and community 
shopping centers in the northeastern part of the United 
States . Other real estate assets include office and industrial 
properties . The Company’s major tenants include 
supermarket chains and other retailers who sell basic 
necessities . At October 31, 2013, the Company owned or 
had equity interests in 66 properties containing a total  
of 5 .1 million square feet of GLA of which approximately 
92% was leased . Included in the 66 properties are  
equity interests in five unconsolidated joint ventures at 
October 31, 2013 . These joint ventures were approximately 
96% leased . The Company has paid quarterly dividends 
to its shareholders continuously since its founding in 1969 
and has increased the level of dividend payments to its 
shareholders for 20 consecutive years .

  The Company derives substantially all of its revenues 
from rents and operating expense reimbursements received 
pursuant to long-term leases and focuses its investment 
activities on community and neighborhood shopping 
centers, anchored principally by regional supermarket 
chains . The Company believes, because of the need of 
consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and 
services generally available at supermarket-anchored 
shopping centers, that the nature of its investments provide 
for relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult 
economic times . The Company is experiencing and in fiscal 
2014, expects that it may continue to experience a higher 
level of vacancies, relative to the Company’s historical 
norm, at some of its shopping centers and a lengthening 
in the time required for re-leasing of vacant space, as the 
current economic climate continues to negatively affect 
retail companies . however, the Company believes it is well 
positioned to weather any difficulties it might encounter . 
The Company currently has 411,000 square feet of vacant 
space in its core property portfolio . Of this vacant space, 
176,000 square feet, or 43% of the Company’s vacant space 
in its core property portfolio, is located in two properties 
that have been more difficult to lease or are in various 
stages of redevelopment . One of the properties is an 
189,000 sf property with 66,000 sf vacant and we are in the 
process of obtaining a zoning change on the property to 
allow for a higher and better use that we feel will increase 
the value of the property . We expect to have the new 
zoning approved in fiscal 2014 . The second property is a 
200,000 sf shopping center with 110,000 sf vacant . Of this 
vacant space, 84,000 sf is below-grade space . The Company 
is in the process of converting this space to a self-storage 
use and expects the lease-up of the self-storage to take 
between 24-48 months from completion of the conversion . 
  The Company has a strong capital structure and does 
not have any secured debt maturing until August 2015 . 
Consistent with its business strategy, the Company  
expects to continue to explore acquisition opportunities 
that may arise .
  Primarily as a result of property acquisitions in fiscal 
2012 and 2013, the Company’s financial data, excluding  
the one-time lease termination income in fiscal 2011,  
shows increases in total revenues and expenses from 
period to period .
  The Company focuses on increasing cash flow, and 
consequently the value of its properties, and seeks 
continued growth through strategic re-leasing, renovations 
and expansion of its existing properties and selective 
acquisition of income-producing properties, primarily 
neighborhood and community shopping centers in the 
northeastern part of the United States .

35

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.  Key elements of the Company’s growth strategies and 
operating policies are to:

•	Acquire	neighborhood	and	community	shopping
    centers in the northeastern part of the United States 

with a concentration in Fairfield County, Connecticut, 
Westchester and Putnam Counties, New York and  
Bergen County, New Jersey

•	Hold	core	properties	for	long-term	investment	and
    enhance their value through regular maintenance, 

periodic renovation and capital improvement

•	Selectively	dispose	of	underperforming	properties
    and re-deploy the proceeds into properties located in  

the northeast region

•	Increase	property	values	by	aggressively	marketing
    available GLA and renewing existing leases
•Renovate,	reconfigure	or	expand	existing	properties	
    to meet the needs of existing or new tenants
•	Negotiate	and	sign	leases	which	provide	for	regular	
    or fixed contractual increases to minimum rents
•	Control	property	operating	and	administrative	costs

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  Critical accounting policies are those that are both 
important to the presentation of the Company’s 
financial condition and results of operations and require 
management’s most difficult, complex or subjective 
judgments . Set forth below is a summary of the accounting 
policies that management believes are critical to the 
preparation of the consolidated financial statements . This 
summary should be read in conjunction with the more 
complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies 
included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements 
of the Company .

Revenue Recognition
  Revenues from operating leases include revenues from 
core properties and non-core properties . Rental income is 
generally recognized based on the terms of leases entered 
into with tenants . In those instances in which the Company 
funds tenant improvements and the improvements are 
deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition 
will commence when the improvements are substantially 
completed and possession or control of the space is turned 
over to the tenant . When the Company determines that 
the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company 
commences revenue recognition when possession or 
control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant 
work to begin . Minimum rental income from leases with 
scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line 
basis over the lease term . Percentage rent is recognized 
when a specific tenant’s sales breakpoint is achieved . 
Property operating expense recoveries from tenants of 
common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other 
recoverable costs are recognized in the period the related 

36

expenses are incurred . Lease incentives are amortized as 
a reduction of rental revenue over the respective tenant 
lease terms . Lease termination amounts are recognized 
in operating revenues when there is a signed termination 
agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have 
been met, the tenant is no longer occupying the property 
and the termination consideration is probable of collection . 
Lease termination amounts are paid by tenants who 
want to terminate their lease obligations before the end 
of the contractual term of the lease by agreement with the 
Company . There is no way of predicting or forecasting the 
timing or amounts of future lease termination fees . Interest 
income is recognized as it is earned . Gains or losses on 
disposition of properties are recorded when the criteria 
for recognizing such gains or losses under accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of 
America (“GAAP”) have been met .

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
  The allowance for doubtful accounts is established 
based on a quarterly analysis of the risk of loss on specific 
accounts . The analysis places particular emphasis on 
past-due accounts and considers information such as the 
nature and age of the receivables, the payment history of 
the tenants or other debtors, the financial condition of the 
tenants and any guarantors and management’s assessment 
of their ability to meet their lease obligations, the basis 
for any disputes and the status of related negotiations, 
among other things . Management’s estimates of the 
required allowance are subject to revision as these factors 
change and are sensitive to the effects of economic and 
market conditions on tenants, particularly those at retail 
properties . Estimates are used to establish reimbursements 
from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate tax 
and insurance costs . The Company analyzes the balance 
of its estimated accounts receivable for real estate taxes, 
common area maintenance and insurance for each of its 
properties by comparing actual recoveries versus actual 
expenses and any actual write-offs . Based on its analysis, 
the Company may record an additional amount in its 
allowance for doubtful accounts related to these items . 
It is also the Company’s policy to maintain an allowance 
of approximately 10% of the deferred straight-line rents 
receivable balance for future tenant credit losses . 

Real Estate
  Land, buildings, property improvements, furniture/
fixtures and tenant improvements are recorded at cost . 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to 
operations as incurred . Renovations and/or replacements, 
which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized 
and depreciated over their estimated useful lives .
  The amounts to be capitalized as a result of an 
acquisition and the periods over which the assets are 
depreciated or amortized are determined based on 

ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis of financial conDition anD  Results of opeRationsestimates as to fair value and the allocation of various 
costs to the individual assets . The Company allocates the 
cost of an acquisition based upon the estimated fair value 
of the net assets acquired . The Company also estimates 
the fair value of intangibles related to its acquisitions . 
The valuation of the fair value of intangibles involves 
estimates related to market conditions, probability of 
lease renewals and the current market value of in-place 
leases . This market value is determined by considering 
factors such as the tenant’s industry, location within the 
property and competition in the specific region in which 
the property operates . Differences in the amount attributed 
to the intangible assets can be significant based upon the 
assumptions made in calculating these estimates . 
  The Company is required to make subjective assessments 
as to the useful life of its properties for purposes of 
determining the amount of depreciation . These assessments 
have a direct impact on the Company’s net income .
  Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method 
over the estimated useful lives of the assets . The estimated 
useful lives are as follows:

Buildings 
Property Improvements 
Furniture/Fixtures 
Tenant Improvements 

30-40 years
10-20 years
3-10 years
  Shorter of lease term 
or their useful life

Asset Impairment
  On a periodic basis, management assesses whether 
there are any indicators that the value of the real 
estate properties may be impaired . A property value is 
considered impaired when management’s estimate of 
current and projected operating cash flows (undiscounted 
and without interest) of the property over its remaining 
useful life is less than the net carrying value of the 
property . Such cash flow projections consider factors 
such as expected future operating income, trends and 
prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition 
and other factors . To the extent impairment has occurred, 
the loss is measured as the excess of the net carrying 
amount of the property over the fair value of the asset . 
Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in 
the Company’s plans or market and economic conditions 
could result in recognition of impairment losses which 
could be substantial . Management does not believe  
that the value of any of its rental properties is impaired  
at October 31, 2013 . 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  In October 2012, the Company completed two equity 
offerings and raised approximately $173 million in capital . 

Through October 31, 2013, the Company has used the 
proceeds in connection with the following:
	 •		$16.3	million	to	repay	outstanding	variable	rate	and	

fixed rate mortgage debt that matured

	 •		$40.6	million	in	connection	with	the	repurchase	of	a	

portion of the Company’s Series C Senior Cumulative 
Preferred Stock

	 •		$63	million	for	the	redemption	of	all	of	its	outstanding	

Series E Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock 
	 •		$58.4	million	to	purchase	income	producing	

commercial real estate . 

 See Notes 3, 7, 8, 10 and 11 included in the Company’s 

financial statements included in this report for more 
information . 
   At October 31, 2013, the Company had unrestricted  
cash and cash equivalents of $2 .9 million compared to  
$78 .1 million at October 31, 2012 . The Company’s sources 
of liquidity and capital resources include its cash and  
cash equivalents, proceeds from bank borrowings and 
long-term mortgage debt, capital financings and sales 
of real estate investments . Payments of expenses related 
to real estate operations, debt service, management 
and professional fees, and dividend requirements place 
demands on the Company’s short-term liquidity . 
  The Company maintains a very conservative capital 
structure with low leverage levels by commercial real 
estate standards . As a result of this low leverage level, 
the Company has been able to avoid the balance sheet 
recapitalizations that many other commercial real estate 
companies have had to undertake during the recent down-
turn in the economy . The Company maintains a ratio of 
total debt to total assets below 27% and a very strong fixed 
charge coverage ratio of over 2 .2 to 1, which we believe 
will allow the Company to obtain additional secured 
mortgage borrowings if necessary . The Company does not 
have any fixed rate debt coming due until fiscal 2015 and 
has 44 properties in its consolidated core portfolio that are 
not encumbered by secured mortgage debt . At October 31, 
2013, the Company had loan availability of $70 .75 million 
on its unsecured revolving line of credit . 
  The Company is currently experiencing a reduction 
of rental revenues at some of the Company’s properties 
because of tenant vacancies . Until these vacancies are re-
leased and new tenants begin to pay rent, the Company’s 
cash flow will continue to be negatively affected . Although 
the Company does not anticipate having to reduce its 
dividend on common stock, and has no plans to do so, 
a further significant decline in rental revenue, without 
a corresponding reduction in expenses, could lead the 
Company to conclude that it should reduce its common 
stock dividend until the dividend payout ratio returns to 
more conservative levels .

Cash Flows
  The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity 
requirements primarily by generating net cash from the 
operations of its properties . The Company believes that its 
net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund 
its short-term liquidity requirements for fiscal 2014 and  
to meet its dividend requirements necessary to maintain  
its REIT status . In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, net cash  
flow provided by operations amounted to $51 .0 million, 
$52 .5 million and $46 .5 million, respectively . Cash 
dividends paid on common and preferred shares increased 
to $46 .6 million in fiscal 2013 compared to $42 .6 million  
in fiscal 2012 and $41 .3 million in fiscal 2011 . 
  The Company expects to continue paying regular 
dividends to its stockholders . These dividends will be paid 
from operating cash flows which are expected to increase 
due to property acquisitions and growth in operating 
income in the existing portfolio and from other sources . 
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from 
rents under existing leases at its properties . The Company’s 
operating cash flow therefore depends on the rents that it 
is able to charge to its tenants, and the ability of its tenants 
to make rental payments . The Company believes that 
the nature of the properties in which it typically invests, 
primarily grocery-anchored neighborhood and community 
shopping centers, provides a more stable revenue flow in 
uncertain economic times, in that consumers still need to 
purchase basic staples and convenience items . however, 
even in the geographic areas in which the Company owns 
properties, general economic downturns may adversely 
impact the ability of the Company’s tenants to make lease 
payments and the Company’s ability to re-lease space as 
leases expire . In either of these cases, the Company’s cash 
flow could be adversely affected . Over the last several 
years, the entire retail commercial real estate industry has 
seen increased competition from Internet commerce,  
which has made it more difficult for certain types of “brick 
and mortar” businesses to compete, the result of which 
has been to reduce the tenant pool for retail commercial 
real estate owners like us . The Company is aware of this 
threat and at this point does not believe it is material, but 
continues to monitor it . If Internet commerce continues to 
erode the need for traditional retail stores it could make it 
more difficult for the Company to lease available space and 
the Company’s future cash flow could be adversely affected .

Net cash flows from:

Operating Activities
  Net cash flows provided by operating activities 
amounted to $51 .0 million in fiscal 2013, compared to  
$52 .5 million in fiscal 2012, and $46 .5 million in fiscal 2011 . 
The changes in operating cash flows were primarily the 
result of: 

Decrease from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013:
  Predominantly caused by a decrease in accounts 
receivable collected and an increase in restricted cash 
related to new escrow accounts related to mortgages 
assumed with new property acquisitions in fiscal  
2013 offset by the addition of the net operating results  
of the Company’s acquired properties in fiscal 2012  
and fiscal 2013 .

Increase from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012:
  The addition of the net operating results of the 
Company’s acquired properties in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 
2012 and the collection of tenant receivables related 
to common area maintenance and real estate tax 
reimbursements by tenants .

Investing Activities
  Net cash flows used in investing activities was $49 .6 
million in fiscal 2013, $10 .8 million in fiscal 2012 and $42 .4 
million in fiscal 2011 . The change in investing cash flows 
was primarily the result of: 

Increase in cash used from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013:
  The Company acquiring 11 properties in fiscal 2013 
requiring $58 .4 million in equity versus acquiring two 
properties in fiscal 2012 that required only $5 .4 million  
in equity . In addition, the Company has deposits of  
$3 .3 million in fiscal 2013 to purchase additional 
commercial real estate . The Company also is in the process 
of re-tenanting two shopping centers . As a result, the 
Company has expended $10 .1 million on improvements  
to its properties in fiscal 2013 versus only $6 .5 million in 
fiscal 2012 . This increase in cash used by investing activities 
was partially offset by proceeds in the amount of $4 .5 
million from the sale of one of the Company’s properties 
and by the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities 
at a gain in fiscal 2013 .

Decrease in cash used from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012:
  The Company acquiring only two properties requiring 
$5 .4 million in equity in fiscal 2012 versus acquisitions 
requiring $33 .7 million in equity (including the purchase  
of noncontrolling interests) in fiscal 2011 . 
  The Company regularly makes capital investments 
in its properties for property improvements, tenant 
improvements costs and leasing commissions .

Financing Activities
  Net cash flows used by financing activities amounted 
to $76 .5 million in fiscal 2013 as compared with net cash 
provided by financing activities in the amount of $31 .8 
million in fiscal 2012 and net cash used by financing 
activities of $15 .3 million in fiscal 2011 . The change in net 
cash provided (used) by financing activities was primarily 
attributable to:

Capital Resources
  The Company expects to fund its long-term liquidity 
requirements such as property acquisitions, repayment of 
indebtedness and capital expenditures through other long-
term indebtedness (including indebtedness assumed in 
acquisitions), proceeds from sales of properties and/or the 
issuance of equity securities . The Company believes that 
these sources of capital will continue to be available to it 
in the future to fund its long-term capital needs; however, 
there are certain factors that may have a material adverse 
effect on its access to capital sources . The Company’s 
ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon its 
existing leverage, the value of its unencumbered assets and 
borrowing limitations imposed by existing lenders . The 
Company’s ability to raise funds through sales of equity 
securities is dependent on, among other things, general 
market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about the 
Company and its stock price in the market . The Company’s 
ability to sell properties in the future to raise cash will be 
dependent upon market conditions at the time of sale .

Financings and Debt
  The Company has an $80 million Unsecured Revolving 
Credit Facility (the “Facility”) with a syndicate of 
four banks led by The Bank of New York Mellon, as 
administrative agent . The syndicate also includes Wells 
Fargo Bank N .A . (syndication agent), Bank of Montreal 
and Regions Bank (co-documentation agents) . The Facility 
gives the Company the option, under certain conditions, 
to increase the Facility’s borrowing capacity up to $125 
million . The maturity date of the Facility is September 21, 
2016 with a one-year extension at the Company’s option . 
Borrowings under the Facility can be used for, among other 
things, acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, 
and repayment of other indebtedness and the issuance 
of letters of credit (up to $10 million) . Borrowings will 
bear interest at the Company’s option of Eurodollar rate 
plus 1 .5% to 2 .0% or The Bank of New York Mellon’s 
prime lending rate plus 0 .50% based on consolidated 
indebtedness, as defined . The Company will pay an annual 
fee on the unused commitment amount of up to 0 .25% to 
0 .35% based on outstanding borrowings during the year . 
The Facility contains certain representations, financial 
and other covenants typical for this type of facility . The 
Company’s ability to borrow under the Facility is subject to 
its compliance with the covenants and other restrictions 

39

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.on an ongoing basis . The principal financial covenants 
limit the Company’s level of secured and unsecured 
indebtedness and additionally require the Company to 
maintain certain debt coverage ratios . The Company was 
in compliance with such covenants at October 31, 2013 . 
  During fiscal 2013, the Company borrowed a total of 
$9 .25 million on its Facility to fund a portion of its equity 
for property acquisitions and capital improvements 
to its properties . In a prior year, the Company had 
borrowed $11 .6 million on its Facility to loan to one of its 
unconsolidated joint ventures . In fiscal 2013 the loan was 
repaid and the Company in-turn repaid the $11 .6 million 
borrowed under the Facility .

 During fiscal 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary assumed an existing first mortgage 
loan encumbering two properties recently acquired 
in Greenwich, CT (“the Greenwich Properties”) at its 
estimated fair value of $8 .3 million . The mortgage loan 
requires monthly payments of principal and interest at  
a fixed rate of 4 .0% per annum . The mortgage matures  
in August 2016 .
  During fiscal 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, assumed a first mortgage loan 
encumbering a property located in New Providence, NJ 
(“the New Providence Property”) at its estimated fair 
value of $21 .3 million . The mortgage loan requires monthly 
payments of principal and interest at the fixed rate of 4 .0% 
per annum . The mortgage matures in January 2022 . 
  In June of fiscal 2013, the Company repaid, at maturity 
its first mortgage payable secured by its veteran’s Plaza 
property in the amount of $3 .2 million .
  In October 2012, the Company repaid its first mortgage 
payable secured by its New Milford property in the 
amount of $8 .3 million .
  In August 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
Company completed the installation of a solar power 
system (the “Ferry System”) at the Company’s Ferry Plaza 
Shopping Center in Newark, New Jersey at a total cost  
of approximately $1 .7 million . The subsidiary of the 
Company financed a portion of the project with a loan in 
the amount of $1 .1 million from The Public Service Electric 
and Gas Company of New Jersey (“PSE&G”), through 
PSE&G’s “Solar Loan Program II .” The loan requires 
monthly payments of principal and interest at 11 .3% per 
annum through its maturity date of August 31, 2027 . The 
subsidiary of the Company has the option of repaying all 
or part of the PSE&G loan, including interest, with Solar 
Renewable Energy Credits (“SREC’s”) that are expected  
to be generated by the Ferry System . The remaining cost  
of the Ferry System was funded by a renewable energy 
grant from the federal government .

40

  In March 2012, the Company assumed a first mortgage 
payable in the amount of $7 .4 million in conjunction with 
its investment in UB Orangeburg, LLC (“Orangeburg”) . 
Subsequent to the assumption, Orangeburg extended the 
loan with the current lender for an additional five years at 
an interest rate of 2 .78% . The loan now matures in October 
2017 . The operating agreement for Orangeburg requires 
that the loan be refinanced and not repaid at maturity . 
  In February 2012, the Company borrowed $28 million 
by placing a non-recourse first mortgage on one of its 
unencumbered properties . The loan is for a term of ten 
years and will require payments of principal and interest 
based on a thirty-year amortization schedule at the fixed 
interest rate of 4 .85% . The proceeds of the loan were used 
to repay approximately $28 million in borrowing on the 
Company’s Facility .
  In December 2011 (fiscal 2012), the Company, through 
a wholly owned subsidiary, assumed a first mortgage 
payable secured by its Eastchester Plaza property with  
an estimated fair value of approximately of $3 .6 million . 
The mortgage matured in April 2012 and was repaid . 
  In fiscal 2011, the Company borrowed a total of $25 .5 
million on its Facility to fund its equity in two property 
acquisitions, its additional investment in UB Ironbound, 
L .P ., and capital and tenant improvements relating to some 
of its properties . 
  In fiscal 2011, the Company borrowed $800,000 on 
the Facility to fund an additional debt investment in the 
Midway Shopping Center L .P ., which the partnership used 
to fund tenant improvements . 
  In fiscal 2011, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, assumed a first mortgage payable with an 
estimated fair value of approximately $5 .0 million in 
conjunction with its purchase of the Fairfield Plaza 
Shopping Center . The mortgage requires payments of 
principal and interest at a fixed rate of interest of 5 .0%  
with a maturity of August 2015 .
  In fiscal 2011, the Company repaid, at maturity, its 
first mortgage payable secured by its Carmel, New York 
property in the amount of $4 .0 million .
  During fiscal 2011, a wholly owned subsidiary of  
the Company completed the installation of a solar power 
system (the “Emerson System”) at the Company’s  
Emerson Shopping Center in Emerson, New Jersey at a 
total cost of approximately $1 .2 million . The subsidiary of 
the Company financed a portion of the project with a loan 
in the amount of $819,000 from PSE&G, through PSE&G’s 
“Solar Loan Program II .” The loan requires monthly 
payments of principal and interest at 11 .3% per annum 
through its maturity date of May 31, 2026 . The subsidiary 
of the Company has the option of repaying all or part of 
the PSE&G loan, including interest, with SREC’s that are 
expected to be generated by the Emerson System . Most  
of the remaining cost of the Emerson System was funded 
by a renewable energy grant from the federal government .

  During fiscal 2011, a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
Company completed the installation of a solar power 
system (the “valley Ridge System”) at the Company’s valley 
Ridge Shopping Center in Wayne, New Jersey at a total 
cost of approximately $1 .1 million . In conjunction with the 
solar installation the subsidiary of the Company financed a 
portion of the project with a loan in the amount of $726,000 
from PSE&G, through PSE&G’s “Solar Loan Program 
I” . The loan requires monthly payments of principal and 
interest at 11 .11% per annum through its maturity date of 
January 31, 2026 . The subsidiary of the Company has the 
option of repaying all or part of the PSE&G loan, including 
interest, with SREC’s that are expected to be generated by 
the valley Ridge System . Most of the remaining cost of the 
valley Ridge System was funded by a renewable energy 
grant from the federal government . 
  The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily 
through its borrowing activities . There is inherent rollover 
risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed 
at current market rates . The extent of this risk is not 
quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of 

future interest rates and the Company’s future financing 
requirements . Mortgage notes payable and other loans in 
the amount of $166 .2 million consist of fixed rate mortgage 
loan indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 
5 .3% at October 31, 2013 . The mortgage loans are secured 
by 14 properties with a net book value of $260 million and 
have fixed rates of interest ranging from 2 .8% to 11 .3% . 
The Company made principal payments of $6 .6 million 
(including the repayment of $3 .2 million in mortgages 
that matured) in fiscal 2013 compared to $15 .0 million 
(including the repayment of $11 .8 million in mortgages that 
matured) in fiscal 2012 and $6 .6 million (including the 
repayment of $4 .0 million in mortgages that matured) in 
fiscal 2011 . The Company may refinance its mortgage loans, 
at or prior to scheduled maturity, through replacement 
mortgage loans . The ability to do so, however, is dependent 
upon various factors, including the income level of the 
properties, interest rates and credit conditions within  
the commercial real estate market . Accordingly, there can 
be no assurance that such refinancings can be achieved .

*Committed tenant-related obligations based on executed leases as of October 31, 2013 . 

  The Company has various standing or renewable service 
contracts with vendors related to its property management . 
In addition, the Company also has certain other utility 
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business 
which may extend beyond one year, which vary based 
on usage . These contracts include terms that provide for 
cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties . 
Contract terms are generally one year or less .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
  The Company has five off-balance sheet investments 
in real estate property including a 66 .67% equity interest 
in the Putnam Plaza shopping center, an 11 .642% equity 
interest in the Midway Shopping Center L .P ., a 50% 
equity interest in the Chestnut Ridge Shopping Center 
(“Chestnut”) and Plaza 59 Shopping Centers (“Plaza 59”) 

and a 20% economic interest in a partnership that owns a 
retail real estate investment . These unconsolidated joint 
ventures are accounted for under the equity method of 
accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant 
influence over, but not control, the operating and financial 
decisions of these investments . Our off-balance sheet 
arrangements are more fully discussed in Note 10, 
“Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated  
Joint ventures” in the Company’s financial statements  
in this report .

Capital Expenditures
  The Company invests in its existing properties and 
regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary 
course of business to maintain its properties . The 
Company believes that such expenditures enhance the 
competitiveness of its properties . In fiscal 2013, 

41

the Company paid approximately $9 .5 million for 
property improvements, tenant improvement and leasing 
commission costs . The amounts of these expenditures 
can vary significantly depending on tenant negotiations, 
market conditions and rental rates . The Company expects 
to incur approximately $7 .5 million for anticipated capital 
and tenant improvements and leasing costs in fiscal 2014 . 
These expenditures are expected to be funded  
from operating cash flows or bank borrowings .

Acquisitions and Significant Property Transactions
  The Company seeks to acquire properties which are 
primarily shopping centers located in the northeastern 
part of the United States with a concentration in Fairfield 
County, Connecticut, Westchester and Putnam Counties, 
New York and Bergen County, New Jersey .

Properties under contract to purchase
  In October 2013, the Company entered into a contract 
to purchase, for $9 million, a retail property located in the 
Company’s core marketplace . In conjunction with entering 
into the contract, the Company made a $450,000 deposit on 
the purchase . The Company completed the purchase of this 
property in January 2014 .
  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company 
entered into an agreement to purchase a 50% undivided 
interest in two retail properties located in the Company’s 
core marketplace . In conjunction with entering into the 
contract, the Company made a $1 .0 million deposit on 
the purchase . Subsequent to entering into the agreement, 
the Company and the prospective owner of the other 50% 
undivided interest in the property collectively entered into a 
commitment with a lender to place a first mortgage payable 
on the property in the amount of $14 million . The closing of 
the mortgage is expected to occur simultaneously with the 
closing of the property sometime in fiscal 2014 . In addition, 
in September 2013, the Company made an unsecured loan 
to the other prospective owner in the amount of $1 .2 million . 
The entire unsecured loan along with interest at LIBOR plus 
2 .00% is due in March 2014 .
  In August 2013, the Company entered into a contract 
to purchase, for $18 .4 million, a retail shopping center in 
the Company’s core marketplace . The acquisition requires 
the assumption of an existing mortgage in the amount of 
$7 .8 million . The mortgage matures in September 2022 . In 
conjunction with entering into the contract, the Company 
placed a deposit of $917,500 with the seller . The Company 
completed the purchase of this property in December 2013 .
  In July 2013, the Company entered into a contract to 
purchase, for $11 .0 million, a retail shopping center in the 
Company’s core marketplace . The acquisition is subject 
to the assumption of an existing first mortgage loan in the 
amount of $7 .7 million . The mortgage matures in August 

2016 . In conjunction with entering into the contract, the 
Company placed a deposit of $400,000 with the seller . 
The Company completed the purchase of this property  
in December of 2013 .
  The Company plans on funding its equity needed 
to close the above transactions with available cash, 
borrowings on its Facility, or proceeds from the sale of its 
two non-core properties that were sold in December 2013 .

Completed acquisitions
  In May 2013, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased two retail properties located in 
Greenwich, Connecticut for $18 .0 million . In conjunction 
with the purchase, the Company assumed an existing  
first mortgage loan encumbering the properties at its 
estimated fair value of $8 .3 million . The mortgage matures 
in August 2016 . 
  In May 2013, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased a retail shopping center located 
in New Providence, New Jersey for $34 .9 million . In 
connection with the purchase, the Company assumed 
a first mortgage loan encumbering the property at its 
estimated fair value of $21 .3 million . The mortgage 
matures in January 2022 . 
  In January and March 2013, the Company purchased 
six free standing net leased properties located in the 
Company’s core marketplace with a combined GLA of 
20,200 square feet . The gross purchase price of the six 
properties was $7 .8 million . 
  In December 2012, subsidiaries of the Company 
purchased two suburban office buildings located in the 
Company’s core marketplace with a combined GLA of 
23,500 square feet . The gross purchase price of the two 
properties was $6 .5 million . 
  In December 2012, the Company, through two wholly 
owned subsidiaries, purchased a 50% undivided equity 
interest in the Chestnut Ridge Shopping Center located 
in Montvale, New Jersey and the Plaza 59 Shopping 
Center located in Spring valley, New York for a combined 
investment of approximately $18 million . The Company 
accounts for its investment in Chestnut and Plaza 59 
under the equity method of accounting since it exercises 
significant influence, but does not control the ventures . 
The other venturer in both properties has substantial 
participation rights in the financial decisions and operation 
of the property, which preclude the Company from 
consolidating the investment . 
  In March 2012, the Company acquired an approximate 
2% interest in Orangeburg, a newly formed limited liability 
company in which the Company is the sole managing 
member . Orangeburg acquired, by contribution, a 74,000 
square foot shopping center in Orangeburg, New York, at 
its estimated fair value of $16 .0 million and the assumption 
of an existing first mortgage loan on the property at its 

42

ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis of financial conDition anD  Results of opeRationsestimated fair value of $7 .4 million bearing interest at a 
fixed rate of 2 .04% (6 .19% contractual rate) . The Company’s 
net investment in Orangeburg amounted to $186,000 . 
The other member (non-managing) of Orangeburg is the 
prior owner of the contributed property who, in exchange 
for contributing the net assets of the property, received 
units of Orangeburg equal to the value of the contributed 
property less the value of the assigned first mortgage 
payable . The Orangeburg operating agreement provides 
for the non-managing member to receive an annual cash 
distribution equal to the regular quarterly cash distribution 
declared by the Company for one share of the Company’s 
Class A Common stock, which amount is attributable 
to each unit of Orangeburg ownership . The annual cash 
distribution will be paid from available cash, as defined, 
of Orangeburg . If there is an available cash shortfall, the 
managing member must contribute or loan additional 
capital to fund the non-managing member’s required cash 
distribution . The balance of available cash, if any, is fully 
distributable to the Company . Upon liquidation, proceeds 
from the sale of Orangeburg assets are to be distributed in 
accordance with operating agreement . The non-managing 
member is not obligated to make any additional capital 
contributions to the partnership . Orangeburg has a defined 
termination date of December 31, 2097 . Since the purchase 
of this investment the Company has made additional 
investments in the amount of $881,000 in Orangeburg, and 
as a result, as of October 31, 2013 its ownership percentage 
has increased from 2% to 10 .9% .
  In December 2011, a subsidiary of the Company acquired 
the Eastchester Plaza Shopping Center in the Town of 
Eastchester, Westchester County, New York for a purchase 
price of $9 million . In connection with the purchase, the 
Company assumed a first mortgage encumbering the 
property at its estimated fair value of $3 .6 million . The 
mortgage matured in April 2012 and was repaid . 
  In October 2011, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company 
purchased an additional 82,081 limited partnership units (of 
the 224,257 outstanding limited partnership units prior to 
the purchase) or 9 .23% of the total outstanding partnership 
units of the limited partnership that owns the Ferry Plaza 
property . As a result of the purchase, the Company or 
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company now owns 
84 .02% of the Partnership .
  In October 2011, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, completed the purchase of the Fairfield Centre 
Shopping Center in Fairfield, Connecticut for a purchase 
price of $17 .0 million . 
  In April 2011, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, completed the purchase of the Fairfield Plaza 
Shopping Center, in New Milford, Connecticut for a 
purchase price of $10 .8 million, subject to an existing first 
mortgage secured by the property at its estimated fair 
value of approximately $5 .0 million . 

  In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company and 
a wholly owned subsidiary purchased the remaining 10% 
limited partner interests in the limited partnership that 
owns the Stamford property for $7 .4 million . As a result of 
this transaction, the Company now has a 100% ownership 
interest in the property .

 In December 2010, the Company reached a lease 

termination settlement (“Settlement”) with a former tenant 
in its Meriden shopping center in Meriden, Connecticut . 
In accordance with the Settlement agreement, the prior 
tenant was released from all its obligations under the 
aforementioned lease in exchange for a settlement payment 
to the Company . The Settlement agreement provides that 
the former tenant will pay the Company $3 .3 million in  
41 equal monthly payments of $80,000 and one final 
monthly payment of $20,000 without interest beginning 
on January 1, 2011 . The Company has recorded the lease 
termination in the consolidated statement of income for 
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 in the amount of 
$2,988,000, which amount represents the present value of 
the 42 payments due to the Company under the Settlement 
agreement at a discount rate of 5 .75% per annum . The 
Company will record the remaining $312,000 as interest 
income over the remaining payment term though June 1, 
2014 in accordance with the effective yield method . 

NON-CORE PROPERTIES
  In a prior year, the Company’s Board of Directors 
expanded and refined the strategic objectives of the 
Company to refocus its real estate portfolio into one of 
self-managed retail properties located in the northeast 
and authorized the sale of the Company’s non-core 
properties in the normal course of business over a period 
of years . At October 31, 2013, the Company’s current 
non-core properties consisted of two distribution service 
facilities (both of which are located outside of the northeast 
region of the United States) with a net book value of 
approximately $530,000 .
  In June 2013, the Company extended the leases on both 
non-core properties ten years through January 2023 . Net 
rents on the St . Louis property (192,000 sf) were decreased 
to $3 .00 per square foot in year one of the extension 
versus $3 .41 per square foot previously . The extended 
lease provides for 2% annual rent increases in years two 
through ten . Net rents on the Dallas property (255,000 
sf) were decreased to $2 .75 per square foot in year one 
of the extension versus $3 .70 per square foot previously . 
The extended lease provides for 2% annual rent increases 
in years two through ten . The effective date of both 
extensions was February 1, 2013 . Currently the properties 
are used as parts distribution facilities for the parts and 
service division of Chrysler Group LLC .

43

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc. 
  In August 2013, the Company entered into a contract 
to sell both distribution service facilities . The sale of the 
properties, in the amount of $14 .75 million, closed on 
December 11, 2013 . The Company plans on reinvesting the 
proceeds from the sale in commercial real estate located in 
its core marketplace .

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
  The Company considers Funds from Operations (“FFO”) 
to be an additional measure of an equity REIT’s operating 
performance . The Company reports FFO in addition to 
its net income applicable to common stockholders and 
net cash provided by operating activities . Management 
has adopted the definition suggested by The National 
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) 
and defines FFO to mean net income (computed in 
accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from 
sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and 
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated 
joint ventures .
  Management considers FFO a meaningful, additional 
measure of operating performance because it primarily 
excludes the assumption that the value of its real estate 
assets diminishes predictably over time and industry 
analysts have accepted it as a performance measure . FFO is 
presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance 
of the Company . It is helpful as it excludes various items 
included in net income that are not indicative of the 
Company’s operating performance, such as gains (or losses) 
from sales of property and depreciation and amortization . 

however, FFO:
	 •		does	not	represent	cash	flows	from	operating	activities	

in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, 
generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and 
other events in the determination of net income); and 
	 •		should	not	be	considered	an	alternative	to	net	income	
as an indication of the Company’s performance .

  FFO as defined by us may not be comparable to 
similarly titled items reported by other real estate 
investment trusts due to possible differences in the 
application of the NAREIT definition used by such  
REITs . The table below provides a reconciliation of net 
income applicable to Common and Class A Common

  FFO amounted to $29 .51 million in fiscal 2013  
compared to $30 .63 million in fiscal 2012 and $34 .45 
million in fiscal 2011 . 
   The net decrease in FFO in fiscal 2013, when compared 
with fiscal 2012 is predominantly attributable, among 
other things, to a) the Company incurring $4 .2 million 
in one-time preferred stock redemption charges in fiscal 
2013 versus only $2 .0 million in fiscal 2012; b) an increase 
of $1 .1 million in preferred stock dividends mainly the 
result of the Company issuing a new preferred stock 
series in October 2012 in advance of being able to redeem 
its Series C Preferred Stock series; and c) a $666,000 
increase in general and administration expense primarily 
the result of increased compensation and benefits related 
to additional staffing, and an increase in restricted stock 
amortization as a result of new tranches of shares being 
valued at a considerably higher stock price than fully 
amortized tranches, and an increase in legal fees relating 
to its redemption of its Series C Cumulative Preferred 
Stock in May of 2013; offset by: d) an increase from the 
net operating income (including investments accounted 
for by the equity method of accounting) relating to 
property acquisitions in the second half of fiscal 2012 and 
fiscal 2013; e) an increase in interest, dividends and other 
investment income as a result of the Company investing, 
at the beginning of fiscal 2013, approximately $27 
million of proceeds from its completed stock offerings in 
October 2012 in fixed income marketable securities; and 
f) the Company recording a gain on sale of marketable 
securities in the amount of $1 .5 million that was realized

when the Company sold the above mentioned marketable 
securities in fiscal 2013 . 

 The net decrease in FFO in fiscal 2012, when compared 

with fiscal 2011 is predominantly attributable, among 
other things, to: a) the Company recording a one-time 
$2 .99 million lease termination income relating to one 
tenant in the Company’s Meriden, Connecticut shopping 

center in fiscal 2011; b) the Company incurring  
preferred stock redemption charges in fiscal 2012 of  
$2 .0 million; offset by c) an increase from the net 
operating income relating to property acquisitions in 
fiscal 2011 and 2012 and d) an increase in net operating 
income provided by normal base rent increases for  
leases in the Company’s portfolio .

Revenues:
  Base rents increased by 3 .3% to $69 .1 million in fiscal 
2013 as compared with $66 .9 million in the comparable 
period of 2012 . The increase in base rents and the changes 
in other income statement line items were attributable to:

Property Acquisitions:
  In fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, the Company purchased 
eleven properties totaling approximately 177,000 
square feet of GLA . These properties accounted for 
all of the revenue and expense changes attributable to 
property acquisitions during fiscal 2013 . In addition, the 
Company purchased a 50% equity interest in two other 
properties that it accounts for under the equity method of 
accounting . These two properties are not included in any 
of the variance analysis presented above . 

Properties Held in Both Periods:
  The net decrease in base rents for properties held 
during fiscal 2013 when compared to the same period in 
fiscal 2012 was a result of an increase in bad debt expense 
of $293,000 and a decrease in straight-line rent in the 
amount of $593,000, both of which is included in base rent 
in the consolidated statement of income; actual base 

rents billed to tenants for properties held in the fiscal 
year ended 2013 when compared with the corresponding 
prior period increased by $430,000 as result of normal 
rent increases in the portfolio and the base rent additions 
caused by new leasing in excess of tenant vacancies .
   In fiscal 2013, the Company leased or renewed 
approximately 1 .23 million square feet (or approximately 
26 .7% of total consolidated property leasable area) at a 
combined average per square foot increase of 0 .79% . At 
October 31, 2013, the Company’s core properties were 
approximately 90 .1% leased, an increase of 0 .97% from 
the end of fiscal 2012 . 
  For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, recoveries 
from tenants for properties owned in both periods 
(which represent reimbursements from tenants for 
operating expenses and property taxes) increased by a 
net $1 .4 million . This net increase was a result of higher 
operating expenses at its properties held in both periods 
due predominantly to an increase in expenses relating to 
parking lots, building roofs and building repairs . 
  Interest, dividends and other investment income 
increased in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 when 
compared to the corresponding period in the prior year 
by $453,000, predominantly as a result of the Company 
investing approximately $27 million of the proceeds from

its two equity offerings completed in October 2012 in 
income producing securities for the first six months of  
fiscal 2013 . 

Expenses:
  Property operating expenses for properties held in both 
fiscal year 2013 and 2012 increased by $2 .78 million as a 
result of an increase in expenses relating to the parking 
lots, building roofs and building repairs . 
  Real estate taxes for properties held in both periods 
were relatively unchanged .
  Interest expense for properties held in the fiscal year 
ended October 31, 2013 when compared to the 
corresponding prior period decreased by $674,000 as a 
result of the Company having $22 million outstanding on 
its unsecured line of credit in last year’s second and third 
quarter and no borrowings in this year’s first and second 
quarter and only $4 million outstanding through three 

quarters and $9 .25 million outstanding at October 31, 
2013; coupled with the Company repaying one mortgage 
in fiscal 2013 when that mortgage matured .
  Depreciation and amortization expense from properties 
held in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 when 
compared to the corresponding prior period increased  
by $331,000 as a result of some tenant improvement  
write-offs for tenants that vacated their spaces before 
lease expiration .
  General and administrative expenses increased by 
$666,000 in fiscal 2013 when compared to fiscal 2012 
primarily due to an increase in compensation costs related 
to an increase in staffing and restricted stock amortization 
relating to new tranches of stock grants being valued 
at higher stock prices than fully amortized tranches of 
stock grants and an increase in legal costs related to the 
Company redeeming its Series C Cumulative Preferred 
Stock in May of fiscal 2013 .

Revenues:
  Base rents increased by 6 .7% to $66 .9 million in fiscal 
2012 as compared with $62 .7 million in the comparable 
period of 2011 . The increase in base rents and the changes 
in other income statement line items were attributable to:

Property Acquisitions:
  In fiscal 2011 and 2012, the Company purchased three 
properties and formed a joint venture that it consolidates 
totaling approximately 231,500 square feet of GLA . These 
properties accounted for all of the revenue and expense 
changes attributable to property acquisitions during fiscal 
year ended October 31, 2012 . 

Properties Held in Both Periods:
  The net increase in base rents for properties held during 
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 compared to the 
same periods in fiscal 2011 was a result of increases in 
rental rates on in-place leases and new leases entered into 
in the last quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 . In addition, 
the positive variance in base rents for the year ended 
October 31, 2012 when compared to fiscal 2011 was further 
increased as a result of an increase in straight-line rents in 
the amount of $202,000 and a decrease in bad debt expense 
in the amount of $344,000, both of which are included in 
base rent income on the consolidated statement of income . 
In fiscal 2012, the Company leased or renewed

approximately 661,000 square feet (or approximately 
14 .92% of total consolidated property leasable area) . At 
October 31, 2012, the Company’s core properties were 89% 
leased, a decrease of 1 .2% from the end of fiscal 2011 . 
  For the year ended October 31, 2012 recoveries from 
tenants for properties owned in both periods (which 
represent reimbursements from tenants for operating 
expenses and property taxes) decreased by a net $1,727,000 . 
This net decrease was a result of lower operating expenses 
at properties held in both periods and some credits 
negotiated with tenants at some properties in settlements  
of prior period billing disputes . 

Expenses:
  Property operating expenses for properties held in 
both periods decreased by $1,142,000 in fiscal 2012 when 
compared with the same period of fiscal 2011 caused by 
a reduction of snow removal costs of $1,527,000 . This 
decrease was offset by an increase in parking lot, building 
roof and building repair costs . 
  Real estate taxes for properties held in both periods were 
relatively unchanged in fiscal 2012 when compared with 
the prior year .
  Interest expense for properties held in both fiscal 
2012 and 2011 increased by $992,000 when compared 
with the prior year; this increase was a result of the 
Company placing a $28 million mortgage on a formerly 
unencumbered property in February 2012 and assumption 
of two mortgages relating to property acquisitions in  
fiscal 2012 .
  Depreciation and amortization expense from properties 
held in both periods increased by $564,000 . The increase 
was predominantly the result of tenant improvements 
completed in fiscal 2012 and an increase in tenant 
improvement costs written off for tenants that vacated  
the portfolio in fiscal 2012 .

 General and administrative expenses were relatively 

unchanged .

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations:
  In August 2013, the Company entered into a contract 
to sell its two industrial facilities . In accordance with U .S . 
GAAP the operating results of the two properties will be 
shown as discontinued operations on the consolidated 
statements of income for the year ended October 31, 2013, 
2012 and 2011 . The net book value of the two properties 
is not significant and as such, will not be shown as assets 
held for sale on the October 31, 2013 and 2012 consolidated 
balance sheets .

INFLATION
  The Company’s long-term leases contain provisions to 
mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on its operating 
results . Such provisions include clauses entitling the 
Company to receive (a) scheduled base rent increases and 
(b) percentage rents based upon tenants’ gross sales, which 
generally increase as prices rise . In addition, many of the 
Company’s non-anchor leases are for terms of less than 
ten years, which permits the Company to seek increases 
in rents upon renewal at then current market rates if rents 
provided in the expiring leases are below then existing 
market rates . Most of the Company’s leases require tenants 
to pay a share of operating expenses, including common 
area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, 
thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in 
costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation . 

ENvIRONMENTAL MATTERS
  Based upon management’s ongoing review of its 
properties, management is not aware of any environmental 
condition with respect to any of the Company’s properties 
that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse 
effect on the Company . There can be no assurance, 
however, that (a) the discovery of environmental 
conditions, which were previously unknown, (b) changes 
in law, (c) the conduct of tenants or (d) activities relating 
to properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, 
will not expose the Company to material liability in the 
future . Changes in laws increasing the potential liability 
for environmental conditions existing on properties or 
increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions 
may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or 
may otherwise adversely affect the operations of the 
Company’s tenants, which could adversely affect the 
Company’s financial condition and results of operations .

directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or

management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 
2013 . The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PKF O’Connor Davies, a division of O’Connor 
Davies, LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as indicated in their

ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis of financial conDition anD  Results of opeRationsREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc .

  We have audited Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc .’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO 1992 criteria”) . Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc .’s management is 
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness 
of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control 
Over Financial Reporting . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting based on our audit . 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States) . Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects . Our audit included obtaining 
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing 
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk and performing such 
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances . We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis 
for our opinion . 
  A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles . A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies 
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect 
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are 
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely 
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on  
the financial statements . 
  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements . 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may  
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures 
may deteriorate . 
  In our opinion, Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc . maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of October 31, 2013 based on the COSO 1992 criteria .
  We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated balance sheets of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc . as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three 
years in the period ended October 31, 2013 and our report dated January 10, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion 
thereon .

QUANTITATIvE AND QUALITATIvE DISCLOSURES  
ABOUT MARKET RISK

  The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities .  There is inherent rollover 
risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates .  The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or 
predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and the Company’s future financing requirements .
  The following table sets forth the Company’s long term debt obligations by principal cash payments and maturity 
dates, weighted average fixed interest rates and estimated fair value at October 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands, except 
weighted average interest rate):

Mortgage notes payable 

2014

2016

Weighted average interest rate 
for debt maturing 

n/a 

5 .0% 

4 .0% 

5 .17% 

n/a 

5 .52% 

  At October 31, 2013, the Company had $9 .25 million in outstanding variable rate debt . The Company believes that  
its weighted average fixed interest rate of 5 .3% on its debt is not materially different from current market interest rates  
for debt instruments with similar risks and maturities . The Company may enter into certain types of derivative financial 
instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk . The Company uses interest rate swap agreements, for example, 
to convert some of our variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis . As of October 31, 2013, the Company has three open 
derivative financial instruments . These interest rate swaps expire in October of 2019 and are cross collateralized with 
three mortgages on properties in Rye, NY .
