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 34.  
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 34.

LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS
2014  was a solid, building year for Urstadt 

Biddle Properties. Revenues exceeded $100 million for 
the first time in the company’s history and we made good 
progress in leasing vacancies, tweaking the portfolio to 
improve quality and reduce risk, capitalizing on low 
interest rates, and acquiring a number of fine properties 
to both grow the company and position it for improving 
future results. Increasing our occupancy levels to our 
historical norm of 95% has been our most important 
priority and we are pleased that the core operating 
portfolio rose to 95.2% leased by year-end.  

Staples Plaza

Our Redevelopment Projects are 
Progressing Nicely
The company has 5 properties under 
redevelopment, and 2014 saw substantial 
completion of most of them. A recap follows:

Staples Plaza, Yorktown Heights, NY:  
Following a successful zone change last year, we 
completed the construction of Phase I of a 90,000 
square foot self-storage facility in the lower level 
of this property. Phase I consists of 347 units 
containing 34,000 net rentable square feet. We 
opened the facility for business in July, and as 
of December 31st the facility was 33% leased. 
Upon stabilization of Phase I, we plan to build out 
a second phase covering the remaining 30,000 
square feet of the lower level of this property. Our 
facility is the market’s low-cost leader with the 
highest quality finishes, and we are pleased to 
have Excess Space Storage (the nation’s second 
largest self-storage REIT) managing the facility  
for us. In December, we obtained another zone
change for this property which will (i) allow us 
to build an additional outparcel restaurant

building of 3,500 square feet and (ii) permit our
anchor tenant BJ’s Warehouse Club to build  
an 8-bay gasoline station in an underutilized area  
of the property’s parking lot. In 2015, we expect  
to develop these additional pad sites, renovate  
the façade of the shopping center, and lease  
the remaining 38,000 square feet of retail space  
at this property.

The Pavilion Shopping Center, White 
Plains, NY:  In November, we obtained approval 
from the City of White Plains to change the 
zoning of this property, successfully culminating 
a two-year effort. As a result, this 3.6 acre 
site situated in the heart of the county seat of 
Westchester County, and currently containing a 
191,000 square foot mostly vacant mall, can be 
transformed into an 860,000 square foot dynamic 
mixed-use development of apartments, retail, 
hotel and office uses with buildings up to 280 
feet in height. We have located an experienced, 
well-capitalized development partner and are 
working on a final site plan to submit to the City 
this spring for review and approval. We are very 
pleased that the City and the community have 
embraced our vision of a dynamic mixed-use 
development for the site, and we look forward 
to providing further information regarding this 
significant project later in 2015.

Townline Square, Meriden, CT:  In 2014, we 
completed the re-leasing of this property and 
saw the opening of PetSmart, Fitness Edge (a 
health club), Five Below, and a number of smaller 
retailers. Occupancy at this property has now  
been restored to 95%. 

Chilmark Shopping Center, Briarcliff Manor, 
NY:  In October, we completed the redevelopment 
of this property, which included delivery to CVS 
of a new 14,000 square foot store. Now 90% 
occupied, this property is leasing up quickly due to 
its desirable location in one of Westchester’s finest 
communities coupled with the new CVS and the 
adjacent A&P Fresh Supermarket.

Orangeburg Shopping Center, Orangeburg, 
NY:  The $3 million redevelopment of this 
shopping center is now 60% complete and features 
a new façade, redesigned parking lot, lighting, 
entrance and development of a new pad site.

Leasing 
Our leasing indicators continued to improve this 
year. In our core portfolio, we renewed 361,000 

 
square feet of tenant leases at an average rent 
increase of 2% and signed 178,000 square feet of 
new leases at average rents that were 1.5% lower 
than the prior leases for these same spaces. These 
leasing results enabled us to increase our leased 
rate for our core portfolio to 95%. Moving forward, 
we look to improve our leasing spreads as an 
improving economy and higher occupancy levels 
permit us to increase rents. It should be noted that 
our first priority is to have fully leased, vibrant 
shopping centers with a good tenant mix. While 
we strive to raise rents when appropriate, it is 
paramount to have a good tenant mix whereby all 
tenants complement one another and have strong 
performing stores. Our leasing team has a solid 
pipeline of leases in negotiation for currently vacant 
space and we are clearly seeing an improvement 
in the leasing market. Our centers are primarily 
grocery and drug store-anchored properties with 
a high percentage of the small stores leased to 
convenience and service retailers. A great way for 
you to learn more about the company’s portfolio is 
to visit our website, go to the “Properties” section 
and browse the properties. Through our website, 
one can see photos of the properties, what is 
available for lease, review the demographics of the 
communities surrounding the properties, and get 
a good overall understanding of the high quality 
properties that we own.

Capital Market Events  
In October, we sold $75 million of a new 6.75% 
Series G Preferred stock and then used the 
proceeds to redeem (for $62.5 million) our entire 
class of 7.5% Series D Preferred stock. This will 
result in a direct reduction in dividend expense 
of $459,000 annually for years to come. In 
November, we completed a follow-on offering of 
$60 million of common stock at $20.82 per share, 
the proceeds of which were used to complete the 
$125 million NJ portfolio acquisition in December. 
In July, we refinanced the $18 million mortgage 
on our Arcadian Shopping Center for ten years at 
3.995%, a significant reduction from the prior rate 
of 6.66%. We also completed three other mortgage 
financings in fiscal 2014 totaling $44 million. All 
of these mortgages are for terms of ten years with 
fixed rates of interest between 3.71%—4.07%. In 
addition, subsequent to year end, we financed 
$62.7 million of the $124.5 million NJ Portfolio 
acquisition, with a twelve-year mortgage bearing a 
fixed interest rate of 3.85%. We remain one of the 
lowest leveraged REITs with aggregate mortgage 
debt equal to only 23.4% of total book 

capitalization at year-end. We have only $4.6 
million in mortgages coming due in 2015. Our 
$80 million credit line presently has $70 million 
available to help support our acquisition program.

Portfolio Pruning and Acquisitions 
This year, we took advantage of the strong seller’s 
market to prune our portfolio of four properties that 
in our view posed more long-term risk than reward 
and which did not fit within our long-term strategy 
of owning infill real estate in the New York City 
suburbs. We sold, for $14.75 million, our remaining 
warehouse properties in Dallas and St. Louis that 
were net leased to an affiliate of Chrysler, which 
properties had been owned by the company since 
the 1970’s. We also sold a Springfield, MA shopping 
center owned since the 1970’s for $31 million, and a 
small strip center in Queens, NY (purchased as part 
of a portfolio a few years ago) for $3.3 million. By 
utilizing tax deferred transactions for these sales, we 
were able to re-deploy nearly all of the $49 million 
in proceeds into new acquisitions. Overall, 2014 was 
one of our most active acquisition years. During the 
last thirteen months, we purchased the following 
properties valued at $226 million:

In total, UBP invested $237 million in these 
new acquisitions, financed with funds generated 
primarily from the sale of properties, proceeds 
from the November 2014 common stock sale 
and long-term fixed rate mortgage loans. We are 
excited about the quality of these acquisitions  
and believe they will be accretive to 2015 earnings 
and solid long-term investments for us.

Results of Operations 
In 2014, revenues rose 7.5% to a record $102.3 
million. Excluding property acquisition costs and 
other one-time charges, including stock redemption 
charges, excess preferred stock dividends and  
gains on marketable securities, our recurring funds

from operations rose 1.4% to $35.5 million compared 
to the prior year’s funds from operations with the 
same exclusions. Property expenses rose 6.4% in 
2014 due in large part to increased snow removal 
costs. General and administrative expenses currently 
are 1.1% of total assets, a slight reduction from 2013.

Internet 
We continue to closely monitor the effect of the 
Internet on our tenants. Many retailers have 
proactively adapted a “clicks and bricks” or 
“omnichannel” strategy and learned how to adapt. 
Some retailers, however, are far more negatively 
affected than others and some are struggling. We 
aim to protect ourselves against retailers who are 
either reluctant to incorporate the Internet into 
their merchandising and sales strategy, or are 
incapable of doing so, and we aim to find room in 
our portfolio for those retailers who are willing to 
adapt. According to a recent survey completed by 
Deloitte, 70% of retail chains have plans to open 
physical stores in 2015. We continue to feel that 
well-located, grocery-anchored shopping centers 
are solid long-term investments because it is very 
expensive for Internet operators to compete with 
the grocery stores in terms of level of service and 
pricing. Grocery stores also are adapting their own 
strategies with services such as in-store pickup 
and home delivery. A grocery store, in effect, is 
a warehouse and a grocer does not need to build 
a distribution warehouse, like Internet retailers 
might be forced to do in order to compete for home 
delivery business. The vast majority of our tenants 
have a high service component to them, which 
makes them more Internet resistant.

UB Solar 
This year, we completed the installation of 5 more 
roof-top solar arrays on our New York properties 
as we continue to take advantage of government 
subsidy programs. These projects simultaneously 
lower the cost of electricity to our properties and 
generate an attractive yield on our investment while 
providing an environmental benefit. We currently 
have approximately 160,000 square feet of solar 
arrays generating approximately 1,600 kW of power 
on the rooftops of our properties. This is equivalent 
to providing power to 320 homes.

Outlook  
New York City continues to experience a 
resurgence of job growth, population growth and 
apartment construction unequaled by any city in 
North America. That which is good for New York 
City is good for the suburbs of New York City. 
While millennials often prefer a more urban life 
than their parents, a large percentage of New York 
City residents, for either economic or lifestyle

Center

reasons, transition to the suburbs surrounding NYC 
where costs are lower, the grass is greener, and the 
communities are strong. 

New York City is North America’s greatest city and 
we are happy and optimistic to own properties 
surrounding it. Well-located shopping centers are 
highly sought after in our densely populated, high 
income market and there are a great number of 
investors seeking to acquire them. While this makes 
continuing to grow our portfolio more challenging, 
it makes our existing portfolio more valuable. The 
retail business is challenging, but the New York 
City suburbs have higher income levels and lower 
unemployment than most parts of the country, and 
these suburbs continue to be a desirable area for 
most retailers to do business. As new development 
becomes increasingly more difficult in our area 
and the economy improves, the price of properties 
continues to rise and vacancy rates continue to fall. 
This leads us to expect a positive effect on the rents 
that we can charge and retailers can afford to pay. 

In December 2014, the company’s 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 the Board has 
approved an increase in the dividend level, which 
is reflective of the Board’s continued confidence in 
the company. The Board elected not to increase 
the dividend rate on the company’s Common stock, 
however, (i) in order to maintain the 10% dividend 
premium that the Class A Common stock must 
maintain in relation to the Common stock (as set 
forth in the company’s charter) and (ii) because 
of caution about the negative effects on cash 
flow posed by the pending redevelopment of The 
Pavilion shopping center 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 with a concentration in the metropolitan New 
York tri-state area outside of the City of New York . The 
Company’s major tenants include supermarket chains and 
other retailers who sell basic necessities . At October 31, 
2014, the Company owned or had equity interests in 70 
properties containing a total of 4 .8 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 6 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 receivables 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 2014 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,  
2014 . As of October 31, 2014, the fiscal tax years 2011 
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 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSrisk associated with the respective tenants and (ii) the 
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 . Real estate investment 
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 has early adopted FASB Accounting 
Standards Update No . 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial 
Statements (ASC Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and 
Equipment (ASC Topic 360)” (together, “ASU 2014-08”), 
which change the requirements for reporting discontinued 
operations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 . As a 
result of this update, beginning in April 2014, the Company 
no longer classifies individual properties that have been 
sold or are classified as held for sale as discontinued 
operations in the consolidated statement of income if the 
removal, or anticipated removal, of the asset(s) from the 
reporting entity does not represent a strategic shift that  
has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations  
and financial results when disposed of . ASU 2014-08 
requires previously reported assets that qualified  

for discontinued operations reporting to continue to  
be reported in that manner . 
  In April 2014, the Company reached a decision to 
actively market for sale one of its properties located 
in Springfield, MA as that property no longer met the 
Company’s investment objectives . The property was 
sold in September 2014 for $31 million and the Company 
realized a gain on sale of property of $24 .3 million . In 
accordance with ASU 2014-08, the revenue, expenses 
and gain on sale of the property are not included in 
discontinued operations . The net book value of the 
Springfield asset at October 31, 2013 was insignificant to 
the financial statement presentation and as a result the 
Company did not include the asset as held for sale in 
accordance with ASC 360-10-45 .
  The operating results of the Springfield property which 
are included in the continuing operations were as follows 
(amounts in thousands):

  In December 2013, prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08,  
the Company sold its two distribution service facilities 
in its non-core portfolio and one core property for $18 .1 
million, resulting in a gain on sale of properties of $12 .5 
million . In accordance with ASC 360 and 205 the operating 
results of the distribution service facilities are shown as 
discontinued operations on the consolidated statements 
of income for fiscal years ended October 31, 2014, 2013 
and 2012 . The operating results of the other property 
were insignificant to financial statement presentation 
and are not shown as discontinued operations . The net 
book value of the two distribution service facilities and 
the one core property at October 31, 2013 are insignificant 
to the financial statement presentation and as a result the 
Company will not include the assets as held for sale in 
accordance with ASC 360-10-45 .
  The combined operating results for the distribution 
service facilities have been reclassified as discontinued 
operations in the accompanying consolidated statements 
of income . The following table summarizes revenues and 
expenses for the Company’s discontinued operations 
(amounts in thousands):

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 $2,703,000 and $3,043,000 
as of October 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 .

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 

18

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, 
2014 and 2013, approximately $13,368,000 and $13,719,000, 
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 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, 2014 and 2013, tenant receivables 
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are shown 
net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $3,106,000 and 
$3,604,000, respectively . 

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
 
 
 
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 .

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, 2014, the Company believes it has 
no significant risk associated with non-performance of 
the financial institutions that are the counterparty to its 
derivative contracts . At October 31, 2014, the Company 
had approximately $19 .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 .99% 
per annum . As of October 31, 2014, the Company had a 
deferred asset of $63,000 (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 2014 or fiscal 2013 .

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,  
2014, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 
consisted of net unrealized gains on interest rate swap 
agreements of approximately $63,000 . 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 . 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 .

Reclassification
  Certain fiscal 2012 and 2013 amounts have been 
reclassified to conform to current period presentation .

New Accounting Standards
  In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08 which changes 
the requirements for reporting discontinued operations 
in ASC Subtopic 205-20 . This pronouncement has been 
early adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 
fiscal 2014 and as a result the Company has not included 
a property that sold in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 as 
discontinued operations . 
  In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-
09”) . The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single 
comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting 
for revenue arising from contracts with customers and 
will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition 
guidance, including industry-specific guidance . The 
core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue 
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to 
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration 
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange 
for those goods or services . In applying ASU 2014-09, 
companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions 
to determine when and how revenue is recognized . ASU 
2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except 
those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB’s 
ASC . ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods 
(including interim periods within that reporting period) 
beginning after December 15, 2016 and shall be applied 
using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective 
approach . Early application is not permitted . The 
Company is currently assessing the potential impact that 
the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated 
financial statements .
  The Company has evaluated all other new Accounting 
Standards Updates issued by FASB and has concluded 
that these updates do not have a material effect on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements as of  
October 31, 2014 .

The Company’s primary investment focus is neighborhood 
and community shopping centers located in the region just 
described . These properties are considered core properties 
of the Company . The Company sold its two distribution 
service facilities in fiscal 2014 which were 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 of the geographic 
locations of the Company’s investments at October 31, 2014

  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 (in 
thousands) $436,961 become due as follows: 2015—$71,102; 
2016—$64,496; 2017—$57,764; 2018—$46,636; 2019—$39,362 
and thereafter—$157,601 .
  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 .00% of 
consolidated revenues in each of the three years ended 
October 31, 2014 .

Owned Properties and Properties Under Contract  
to Purchase
   In September 2014, the Company entered into a contract 
to purchase, for $124 .6 million, four retail properties 
totaling approximately 375,000 square feet located in the 
Company’s target market of the metropolitan New York 
tri-state area outside of the City of New York (“Retail 
Properties”) . Pursuant to the contract, the Company placed 
a deposit of $2 .5 million with the seller which is included 
in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated 
balance sheet at October 31, 2014 . The Company completed 

the purchase in December 2014 and funded the acquisition 
with a combination of available cash remaining from the 
sale of Class A Common Stock and the sale of its Series G 
Preferred Stock (see Notes 7 & 13), borrowings under its 
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”) and 
a non-recourse mortgage secured by the subject property 
(see Note 4) . 
  In August 2014, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, purchased for $47 .4 million, two retail 
properties totaling 88,000 square feet located in Greenwich, 
CT (the “Greenwich Properties”) . The Company funded 
the acquisition with a combination of available cash, 
borrowings under its Facility, other unsecured borrowings 
and a non-recourse mortgage secured by the subject 
property (see Note 4) . In conjunction with the purchase, 
the Company incurred acquisition costs totaling $127,000, 
which have been expensed in the year ended October 31, 
2014 consolidated statement of income .
  In January 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased for $9 million a 31,000 square foot 
retail shopping center located in Bethel, CT (the “Bethel 
Property”) . The Company funded the equity needed to 
complete the purchase with proceeds from the sale of its 
two non-core properties in December 2013 . In conjunction 
with the purchase, the Company incurred acquisition costs 
totaling $88,000, which have been expensed in the year 
ended October 31, 2014 consolidated statement of income .
  In December 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, purchased for $18 .4 million a 63,000 
square foot retail shopping center located in Boonton, NJ 
(the “Boonton Property”) . The acquisition required the 
assumption of an existing mortgage in the amount of $7 .8 
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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 . The mortgage 
loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest 
at a fixed rate of 4 .20% per annum . The mortgage matures 
in September 2022 . The Company funded the equity 
needed to complete the purchase with borrowings under 
its Facility . In conjunction with the purchase, the Company 
incurred acquisition costs totaling $225,000, which 
have been expensed in the year ended October 31, 2014 
consolidated statement of income .
  In December 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, purchased for $11 million a 56,000 
square foot retail shopping center located in Bloomfield, NJ 
(the “Bloomfield Property”) . The acquisition required the 
assumption of an existing mortgage in the amount of $7 .7 
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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 . The mortgage loan 
requires monthly payments of principal and interest

at a fixed rate of 5 .5% per annum . The mortgage matures in 
August 2016 . The Company funded the equity needed to 
complete the purchase with borrowings under its Facility . 
In conjunction with the purchase, the Company incurred 
acquisition costs totaling $123,000, which have been 
expensed in the year ended October 31, 2014 consolidated 
statement of income .
  In May 2013, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased 2 retail properties located in 
Greenwich, CT, with a combined GLA totaling 24,000 
square feet (“Post Road Properties”), for $18 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 .00% per annum . The mortgage matures in August 2016 . 
The Company funded the 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 107,000 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 .00% 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 
6 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 2 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 .3 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 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS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 was funded with available cash 
and borrowings on the Company’s 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 fiscal 2014, the Company completed evaluating the 
fair value of the in-place leases for its Boonton Property, 
Bethel Property and Bloomfield Property, all of which were 
acquired in fiscal 2014 . As a result of its evaluation, the 
Company has allocated $901,000 to a liability associated 
with the net fair value assigned to the acquired leases 
at the Bloomfield Property, a $71,000 liability associated 
with the net fair value assigned to the acquired leases at 
the Boonton Property, and a $92,000 asset associated with 
the net fair value assigned to the acquired leases at the 
Bethel Property, all of which amounts represent a non-
cash investing activity and are therefore not included in 
the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows 
for fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 . The Company is 
in the process of evaluating the fair value of the in-place 
leases for its Greenwich Properties acquired in fiscal 2014; 
consequently no value has yet been assigned to the leases 
for these properties and the purchase price allocation is 
preliminary and may be subject to change .
    In fiscal 2013, the Company completed evaluating 
the fair value of the in-place leases for UB Orangeburg, 
LLC (“Orangeburg”), acquired in fiscal 2012 and New 
Providence, acquired in fiscal 2013 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 Post Road 
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 . These amounts represent 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 . 
  For the years ended October 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 
the net amortization of above-market and below-market 
leases amounted to $410,000, $419,000 and $515,000, 
respectively, which amounts are included in base rents in 
the accompanying consolidated statements of income .
  In fiscal 2014, the Company incurred costs of 
approximately $19 .3 million related to capital 
improvements to its properties and leasing costs .

In August 2014, the Company borrowed $25 .0 million 
under a newly executed Unsecured Term Loan (the “Term 
Loan’) with The Bank of New York Mellon as the lender . 
The Term Loan has a term of six months with a Company 
option for a six month extension . The Term Loan will bear 
interest at Eurodollar rate plus 1 .4% to 1 .9% based on 
consolidated indebtedness . The Term Loan has the same 
financial covenants as the Facility . The Company used the 
borrowings to fund a portion of the purchase price of the 
Greenwich Properties .
  The Company has an $80 million Unsecured Revolving 
Credit Facility (the “Facility”) with a syndicate of 4 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 

23

the Facility’s borrowing capacity up to $125 million . The 
maturity date of the Facility is September 21, 2016 with 
a 1-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 .50% to 
2 .00% 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

(5)  CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES  

AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING 
INTERESTS 

  The Company has an investment in three joint ventures, 
UB Ironbound, LP (“Ironbound”), Orangeburg and 
McLean Plaza, each of which owns a commercial retail real 
estate property . The Company has evaluated its investment 
in these three joint ventures and has concluded that the 
ventures are not Variable Interest Entities (“VIE or VIE’s”); 
however, the 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 the 
ventures and that the joint ventures should be consolidated 
into the consolidated financial statements of the Company . 
The Company’s investments in the consolidated joint 
ventures are 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 .
  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 21 .7% 
interest in Orangeburg, which owns a CVS Pharmacy 
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 . Upon liquidation, proceeds 
from the sale of Orangeburg assets are to be distributed 
in accordance with the operating agreement . Orangeburg 
has a defined termination date of December 31, 2097 . 
Since purchasing this property, the Company has made 
additional investments in the amount of $1 .7 million 
in Orangeburg and as a result as of October 31, 2014 
its ownership percentage has increased to 21 .7% from 
approximately 2 .00% at inception .

25

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.McLean Plaza
  In October 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, acquired a 51% interest in McLean Plaza 
Associates for a net investment of $6 .2 million . McLean 
Plaza’s sole asset is a grocery anchored shopping center 
located in Yonkers, NY . Distributions of available cash flow 
are made in accordance with the joint venture owners, 
ownership percentage . McLean Plaza is encumbered by a 
first mortgage payable in the amount of $2 .8 million .

Noncontrolling interests:
  The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests  
in accordance with ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation .” 
Because the limited partners or noncontrolling members 
in Ironbound, Orangeburg and McLean Plaza 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 the 
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, 
2014 and 2013, the Company adjusted the carrying value 
of the noncontrolling interests by $887,000 and $422,000, 
respectively, with the corresponding adjustment recorded 
in stockholders’ equity .

Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests at

Gateway Plaza and Applebee’s at Riverhead
  In February 2014, the Company, through two wholly 
owned subsidiaries, purchased a 50% undivided 
equity interest in the Gateway Plaza Shopping Center 
(“Gateway”) for $6 .1 million and Applebee’s at Riverhead 
(“Applebee’s”) for $1 .1 million . Both investments were 
inclusive of the Company assuming its 50% interest 
in the mortgages encumbering both properties . Both 
properties are located in Riverhead, New York (together 
the “Riverhead Properties”) . Gateway, a 194,000 square foot 
shopping center anchored by a 168,000 square foot newly 
constructed Walmart which also has 27,000 square feet of 
newly constructed in-line space that is partially leased . 
Applebee’s has a 5,400 square foot free standing Applebee’s 
restaurant with additional development rights for 7,200 
square feet . The Company accounts for its investment 
in the Riverhead Properties 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 properties, 
which preclude the Company from consolidating the 
investments . The Company has evaluated its investment 
in the two properties and has concluded that the ventures 
are not VIE’s . 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 . 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Simultaneously with the acquisition of Gateway, a $14 .0 
million non-recourse first mortgage payable was placed on 
the property with $12 .0 million of the proceeds distributed 
to the seller . The remaining $2 .0 million of the principal 
is held in escrow by the lender until certain conditions 
are met regarding the leasing of the 27,000 square foot 
building . The new mortgage has a term of ten years and 
requires payments of principal and interest at a fixed rate 
of interest of 4 .2% per annum . 

Chestnut Ridge and Plaza 59 Shopping Centers
  The Company, through two wholly owned subsidiaries, 
owns 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 but does not control the 
venture 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 .
  The Company has allocated the $7 .4 million excess of 
the carrying amount of its investment in and advances to 
Midway over the Company’s share of Midway’s net book 
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 
Company has evaluated its investment in Putnam Plaza 
and has concluded that the venture is not a VIE . 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 .
  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 . 

81 Pondfield Road Company
  The Company’s other investment in an unconsolidated 
joint venture is a 20% economic interest in a partnership 
which owns a retail and office building in Westchester 
County, New York .

Authorized Stock
  The Company’s Charter authorizes up to 200,000,000

Preferred Stock
  On October 22, 2014, we issued notice of our intent to 
redeem all of the outstanding shares of our 7 .5% Series D  
Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock with a liquidation 
preference $25 per share . As a result, as of October 31, 
2014 the outstanding Series D preferred stock has been 
reclassified out of stockholders’ equity and is reflected as 
a liability at redemption value and we recognized a loss of 
$1 .87 million on our consolidated statement of income for 
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, which represents the 
difference between redemption value and carrying value 
net of original deferred issuance costs . We completed this 
redemption on November 20, 2014 . 
  The Series F Preferred Stock is non-voting, has no stated 
maturity and is redeemable for cash at $25 per share at 
the Company’s option on or after October 24, 2017 . The 
holders of our Series F Preferred Stock have general 
preference rights with respect to liquidation and quarterly 
distributions . Except under certain conditions, holders of 
the Series F Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote on 
most matters . In the event of a cumulative arrearage  
equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of Series F 
Preferred Stock, together with all of the Company’s  
other series of preferred stock (voting as a single class 
without regard to series) will have the right to elect two 
additional members to serve on the Company’s Board 
of Directors until the arrearage has been cured . Upon 
the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the 
Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the holders of the 
Series F Preferred Stock will have the right to convert 
all or part of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held 
by such holders 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 2014, the Company completed the public 
offering of 2,800,000 shares of 6 .75% Series G Senior 
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) 
at a price of $25 per share for net proceeds of $67 .8 million 
after underwriting discounts but before offering expenses . 
These shares are nonvoting, have no stated maturity and 
are redeemable for cash at $25 per share at the Company’s 
option on or after October 28, 2019 . Holders of these shares 

28

are entitled to cumulative dividends, payable quarterly 
in arrears . Dividends accrue from the date of issue at the 
annual rate of $1 .6875 per share per annum . The holders of 
our Series G Preferred Stock have general preference rights 
with respect to liquidation and quarterly distributions . 
Except under certain conditions holders of the Series G 
Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote on most matters . 
In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly 
dividends, holders of Series G Preferred Stock, together 
with all of the Company’s other Series of preferred stock 
(voting as a single class without regard to series) will have 
the right to elect two additional members to serve on the 
Company’s Board of Directors until the arrearage has been 
cured . Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as

holder of the Series G Preferred Stock will have the right to 
convert all or part of the shares of Series G 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 G Preferred Stock are reflected as 
a reduction of additional paid in capital . In November 2014, 
the underwriter notified the Company that it was exercising 
its over-allotment option and that it would purchase an 
additional 200,000 shares of Series G preferred stock at  
$25 per share . As a result, in November 2014, the Company 
received an additional $4 .8 million in net proceeds .
  In fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased its remaining 
Series C Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding 
and as a result included the $892,000 and $1 .3 million excess

one vote per share . The Common Stock entitles the holder 
to one vote per share . Each share of Common Stock and 
Class A Common Stock have identical rights with respect 
to dividends except that each share of Class A Common 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Stock will receive not less than 110% of the regular 
quarterly dividends paid on each share of Common Stock .
  The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Share 
Purchase Plan (as amended) (the “DRIP”), that permits 
stockholders to acquire additional shares of Common Stock 
and Class A Common Stock by automatically reinvesting 
dividends . During fiscal 2014, the Company issued 6,347 
shares of Common Stock and 6,811 shares of Class A 
Common Stock (5,797 shares of Common Stock and 6,724 
shares of Class A Common Stock in fiscal 2013) through 
the DRIP . As of October 31, 2014, there remained 357,953 
shares of Common Stock and 416,273 shares of Class A 
Common Stock available for issuance under the DRIP .
  The Company has a stockholder rights agreement that 
expires on November 11, 2018 . The rights are not currently 
exercisable . When they are exercisable, the holder will be 
entitled to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth 
of a share of a newly-established Series A Participating 
Preferred Stock at a price of $65 per one one-hundredth 
of a preferred share, subject to certain adjustments . The 
distribution date for the rights will occur 10 days after 
a person or group either acquires or obtains the right to 
acquire 10% (“Acquiring Person”) or more of the combined 
voting power of the Company’s Common Shares, or 
announces an offer, the consummation of which would 
result in such person or group owning 30% or more of the 
then outstanding Common Shares . Thereafter, shareholders 
other than the Acquiring Person will be entitled to 
purchase original common shares of the Company having 
a value equal to 2 times the exercise price of the right .
  If the Company is involved in a merger or other 
business combination at any time after the rights become 
exercisable, and the Company is not the surviving 
corporation or 50% or more of the Company assets are 
sold or transferred, the rights agreement provides that the 
holder other than the Acquiring Person will be entitled 
to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the 
acquiring company having a value equal to two times  
the exercise price of each right .
  The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that  
if any person acquires more than 7 .5% of the aggregate  
value of all outstanding stock, except, among other 
reasons, as approved by the Board of Directors, such shares 
in excess of this limit automatically will be exchanged for 
an equal number of shares of Excess Stock . Excess Stock 
has limited rights, may not be voted and is not entitled to 
any dividends .

Stock Repurchase
  Previously, the Board of Directors of the Company 
approved a share repurchase program (“Original 
Program”) for the repurchase of up to 1,500,000 shares 
of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and the 
Company’s Series C and Series D Senior Cumulative 
Preferred Stock in open-market transactions . Recognizing 

that the Company issued a new Series F Preferred Stock  
in October 2012 and that the remaining outstanding  
shares of the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock were 
redeemed in May 2013, the Board of Directors terminated 
the Original Program in December 2013 and at the same 
time approved a new share repurchase program (the 
“Current Program”) for the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 
shares of Common stock and Class A Common stock and 
Series D Senior Cumulative Preferred stock and Series F 
Cumulative Preferred stock in open market transactions . 
Prior to terminating the Original Program, the Company 
had repurchased 4,600 shares of Common Stock and 
724,578 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 
Original Program .

(8)  STOCK COMPENSATION AND OTHER 

BENEFIT PLANS

Restricted Stock Plan
  The Company has a Restricted Stock Plan that 
provides a form of equity compensation for employees 
of the Company . The Plan, which is administered by the 
Company’s compensation committee, authorizes grants of 
up to an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s 
common equity consisting of 350,000 Common shares, 
350,000 Class A Common shares and 3,050,000 shares, 
which at the discretion of the compensation committee, 
may be awarded in any combination of Class A Common 
shares or Common shares .
  In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the Company 
recognizes compensation expense for restricted stock 
awards upon the earlier of the explicit vesting period or 
the date a participant first becomes eligible for retirement 
unless a waiver was received by an employee over the 
retirement age, waving his right to continued vesting 
after retirement . For non-vested restricted stock awards 
granted prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 718 in 2005, 
the Company continues to recognize compensation 
expense over the explicit vesting periods and accelerates 
any remaining unrecognized compensation cost when a 
participant actually retires .
  In fiscal 2014, the Company awarded 152,000 shares of 
Common Stock and 80,500 shares of Class A Common 
Stock to participants in the Plan . The grant date fair value 
of restricted stock grants awarded to participants in 2014 was 
approximately $3 .8 million . As of October 31, 2014, there was 
$12 .6 million of unamortized restricted stock compensation 
related to non-vested restricted stock grants awarded 
under the Plan . The remaining unamortized expense is 
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period 
of 4 .64 years . For the years ended October 31, 2014, 2013 
and 2012, amounts charged to compensation expense 
totaled $4,088,000, $4,073,000 and $3,824,000, respectively .

Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
  The Company has a profit sharing and savings plan 
(the “401K Plan”), which permits eligible employees 
to defer a portion of their compensation in accordance 
with the Internal Revenue Code . Under the 401K Plan, 
the Company made contributions on behalf of eligible 
employees . The Company made contributions to the 401K 
Plan of approximately $150,000 in each of the three years 
ended October 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 . The Company also 
has an Excess Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plan 
that allows eligible employees to defer benefits in excess of 
amounts provided under the Company’s 401K Plan and a 
portion of the employee’s current compensation .

(9)  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

  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, 2014 and 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 .”
  The Company measures its redeemable noncontrolling 
interests and interest rate swap derivatives at fair value on 
a recurring basis . The fair value of these financial assets 
and liabilities was determined using the following inputs 
at October 31, 2014 and 2013 (amounts in thousands):

  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 . Fair market value measurements based upon 
Level 3 inputs changed from $2,897 at November 1, 2013 
to $9,062 at October 31, 2014 as a result of a $31 increase 
in the redemption value of the Company’s noncontrolling 
interest in Ironbound in accordance with the application 
of ASC Topic 810 and an increase in the amount of $6,134 
representing the non-controlling interest in the Company’s 
McLean Plaza investment (see Note 5) .

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 and the unsecured term loan 
are 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 and other loans are estimated 
to have a fair value of approximately $206 million and 
$155 million at October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, 
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 property’s in-place leases  
(see Note 1) . 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 from October 31, 2013, 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 .

(10) 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, 2014, the Company had commitments of 
approximately $3 .9 million for tenant-related obligations .

Company’s compensation committee authorizing awards 
of 152,000 shares of Common Stock and 92,750 shares of 
Class A Common Stock to certain officers, directors and 

32

employees of the Company effective January 2, 2015,

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 and 
Section 21E of the Exchange Act . 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 with a concentration in the metropolitan New York 
tri-state area outside of the City of New York . Other real 
estate assets include office properties . The Company’s 
major tenants include supermarket chains and other 
retailers who sell basic necessities . At October 31, 2014, the 
Company owned or had equity interests in 70 properties 
containing a total of 4 .8 million square feet of GLA of which 
approximately 95 .3% was leased (94 .2% at October 31, 2013) . 
The above percentages exclude the Company’s White 
Plains property . In November 2014, the Company obtained 
a zoning change from the City of White Plains that will 
allow this property to be converted to a higher and better 
use . On this basis, the Company is maintaining vacancies 
to make potential redevelopment possible . Included in the 
70 properties are equity interests in seven unconsolidated 

34

joint ventures, these joint ventures were approximately 
97 .7% leased at October 31, 2014 (96 .1% at October 31, 
2013) . 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 has a conservative 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 
2013 and 2014, the Company’s financial data 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 .
  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 on properties in the metropolitan 
New York tri-state area outside of the City of New York

  •  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

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

35

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.  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, 2014 . 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  In October 2014, the Company completed the sale of 
2 .8 million shares of Series G - 6 .75% preferred stock that 
raised net proceeds of $67 .8 million . In November 2014 
(subsequent to year end), the Company completed the sale 
of an additional 200,000 shares of the Series G preferred 
stock that raised an additional $4 .8 million of net proceeds . 
In addition, in November 2014, the Company completed 
the sale of 2,875,000 shares of Class A Common stock that 
raised proceeds of $59 .9 million . Subsequent to year end, 
the Company used a portion of the proceeds from these 
stock sales in connection with the following:
  •  On November 22, 2014, $61 .25 million to repurchase  

all of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock . 

  •  On December 10, 2014, $61 .9 million to fund a portion 
of the $124 .5 million purchase of four retail properties 
in the Company’s core marketplace . 

  At October 31, 2014, the Company had unrestricted 
cash and cash equivalents of $73 .0 million compared to 
$2 .9 million at October 31, 2013 . 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 market 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 conservative capital structure 
with low leverage levels by commercial real estate 
standards . The Company maintains a ratio of total debt 
to total assets below 30% and a very strong fixed charge 
coverage ratio of over 2 .19 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 August 2015 and  
has forty-four properties in its consolidated core portfolio 
that are not encumbered by secured mortgage debt . At 
October 31, 2014, the Company had loan availability of  
$64 million on its unsecured revolving line of credit . 

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 2015 and 
to meet its dividend requirements necessary to maintain 
its REIT status . In fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, net cash flow 
provided by operations amounted to $50 .9 million, $51 .0 
million and $52 .5 million, respectively . Cash dividends 
paid on common and preferred shares equaled $45 .9 
million in fiscal 2014 compared to $46 .6 million in fiscal 
2013 and $42 .6 million in fiscal 2012 . 
  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 

36

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
impact the ability of the Company’s tenants to make lease 
payments, the Company’s ability to re-lease space as 
leases expire and the ability of the Company to re-lease 
space at rents equal to or greater than expiring rents . In 
any 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 $50 .9 million in fiscal 2014, compared to $51 .0 million in 
fiscal 2013, and $52 .5 million in fiscal 2012 . The changes in 
operating cash flows were primarily the result of: 

Decrease from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014:
  Predominantly caused by a decrease in accounts 
receivable collected and an increase in restricted cash 
related to new escrow accounts associated with mortgages 
assumed with new property acquisitions in fiscal 2014 
offset by the addition of the net operating results of  
the Company’s acquired properties in fiscal 2013 and  
fiscal 2014 .

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 .

Investing Activities
  Net cash flows used in investing activities was $54 .6 
million in fiscal 2014, $49 .6 million in fiscal 2013 and $10 .8 
million in fiscal 2012 . The change in investing cash flows 
was primarily the result of: 

Increase in cash used from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014:
  The Company acquired 8 properties in fiscal 2014 
requiring $81 .7 million in equity versus acquiring  
11 properties in fiscal 2013 requiring $58 .4 million in  

equity . The Company also re-tenanted two shopping 
centers and as a result, the Company has expended 
$19 .3 million on improvements to its properties in fiscal 
2014 versus only $9 .5 million in fiscal 2013 . In addition, 
the Company had loaned $13 million to one of its 
unconsolidated joint ventures in a prior year, that loan 
was repaid in fiscal 2013 . This increase in cash used by 
investing activities was partially offset by proceeds in 
the amount of $47 .8 million from the sale of three of the 
Company’s properties in fiscal 2014 .

Increase in cash used from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013:
  The Company acquired 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 had deposits of $3 .3 
million in fiscal 2013 to purchase additional commercial 
real estate . The Company also re-tenanted two shopping 
centers and as a result, the Company expended $9 .5 
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 and 
the Company receiving, in fiscal 2013 loan repayments of 
$13 million on a loan the Company had made to one of its 
unconsolidated joint ventures in a prior year .
  The Company regularly makes capital investments 
in its properties for property improvements, tenant 
improvements costs and leasing commissions . 

Financing Activities
  Net cash flows provided by financing activities 
amounted to $73 .8 million in fiscal 2014 as compared with 
net cash used by financing activities in the amount of $76 .5 
million in fiscal 2013 compared with net cash provided by 
financing activities in the amount of $31 .8 million in fiscal 
2012 . The change in net cash provided (used) by financing 
activities was primarily attributable to:

Cash generated:

Fiscal 2014: (Total $198.8 million)
  •  Proceeds from revolving credit line borrowings of 

$65 .1 million .

  •  Proceeds from unsecured term loan borrowing of  

$25 million .

  •  Proceeds from mortgage financings of $40 .7 million .
  •  Proceeds from issuance of Series G preferred stock of 

$67 .8 million .

37

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc. 
 
Fiscal 2013: (Total $39.9 million)
  •  Proceeds from revolving credit line borrowings of 

$38 .4 million .

  •  Return of escrow deposit of $1 .3 million . 

Fiscal 2012: (Total $259.1 million)
  •  Proceeds from revolving credit line borrowings for 
property acquisitions in the amount of $58 .0 million .
  •  Proceeds from mortgaging a previously unencumbered 

property in the amount of $28 .0 million .

  •  Proceeds from the sale of 2 .5 million shares of Class A 

Common stock in a follow-on public offering .

  •  Proceeds from the sale of 5 .175 million shares of a new 
series of redeemable Preferred Stock (Series F) in a 
public offering .

Cash used: 

Fiscal 2014: (Total $125.0 million)
  •  Dividends to shareholders in the amount of $45 .9 million .
  •  Repayments of mortgage notes payable in the amount 

of $20 .3 million .

  •  Repayments of revolving credit line borrowings in the 

amount of $58 .8 million .

Fiscal 2013: (Total $116.3 million)
  •  Dividends to shareholders in the amount of $46 .6 million .
  •  Repayment of mortgage notes payable in the amount 

of $6 .6 million .

  •  Repayment of revolving credit line borrowings in the 

amount of $40 .7 million .

  •  Repurchase of shares of the Company’s Series C  

Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock in the amount  
of $22 .4 million .

Fiscal 2012: (Total $227.2 million)
  •  Dividends to shareholders in the amount of $42 .6 million .
  •  Repayment of mortgage notes payable in the amount 

of $15 .0 million .

  •  Repayment of revolving credit line borrowings in the 

amount of $88 .3 million .

  •  Repurchase of shares of the Company’s Series C and 
redemption of all of the Series E Senior Cumulative 
Preferred Stock in the combined amount of $81 million .

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 1-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 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, 2014 .

 During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, 

respectively, the Company borrowed $65 .1 million and 
$38 .4 million on its Facility to fund a portion of its equity 
for property acquisitions and capital improvements to  
its properties . During the fiscal years ended October 31, 
2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company re-paid $58 .8 
million and $40 .7 million on its Facility with proceeds 
from a combination of non-recourse mortgage financings, 
Class A Common stock and preferred stock offerings and 
available cash .

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
  In November 2014, the Company entered into a 
commitment with a lender to place a $62 .7 million non-
recourse first mortgage loan that now encumbers the retail 
properties that the Company purchased in December 
2014 . In conjunction with the commitment, the Company 
deposited $628,000 with the lender, which is included in 
prepaid expenses and other assets at October 31, 2014 . The 
mortgage loan requires monthly payments of principal 
and interest in the amount of $294,000 at a fixed interest 
rate of 3 .85% per annum . The mortgage matures in January 
2027 . Proceeds from the mortgage were used to repay the 
Facility . The Company completed the mortgage financing 
in December of 2014 . 
  During fiscal 2014, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, assumed an existing non-recourse first 
mortgage loan encumbering the Boonton property at its 
estimated fair value of $7 .8 million . The mortgage loan 
requires monthly payments of principal and interest at a 
fixed rate of 4 .2% per annum . The mortgage matures in 
September 2022 .

at its estimated fair value of $2 .8 million . The mortgage 
matured in November 2014 and was refinanced with a new 
lender . The new $5 million mortgage matures in November 
2024 and requires monthly payments of interest only at a 
fixed rate of interest of 3 .7% per annum .
  During fiscal 2014, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, placed a non-recourse first mortgage 
loan encumbering the Greenwich properties in the amount 
of $24 .5 million . The mortgage loan requires monthly 
payments of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4 .07% 
per annum . The mortgage matures in November 2024 . 
Proceeds from the mortgage were used to repay the Facility .
  During fiscal 2014, the Company refinanced a non-
recourse mortgage loan encumbering one of its retail 
properties in the amount of $16 .2 million . The mortgage 
loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest 
at a fixed rate of 3 .995% per annum . The mortgage  
matures in August 2024 . The interest rate prior to 
refinancing was 6 .66%
  During fiscal 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, assumed an existing first mortgage loan 
encumbering the Post Road 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%

its first mortgage payable secured by its Veteran’s Plaza 
property in the amount of $3 .2 million .
  During 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 . 
  During fiscal 2012, the Company assumed a first mortgage 
payable in the amount of $7 .4 million in conjunction with 
its investment in Orangeburg . The loan requires payments 
of principal and interest at a fair market value interest 
rate of 2 .04% (6 .19% contractual rate) . Subsequent to the 
assumption, Orangeburg extended the loan with the 
current lender for an additional 5 years, leaving all terms 
unchanged, except the interest rate 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 .0 million by 
placing a non-recourse first mortgage on its Dock Property . 
The loan is for a term of ten years and will require payments 
of principal and interest based on a 30-year amortization 
schedule at the fixed interest rate of 4 .85% . 
  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 . 
The remaining cost of the Ferry System was funded by a 
renewable energy grant from the federal government .

39

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.   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 $205 .1 million consist of fixed rate mortgage 
loan indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 
4 .8% at October 31, 2014 . The mortgage loans are secured 
by 19 properties with a net book value of $333 million and 
have fixed rates of interest ranging from 2 .8% to 11 .3% . 
The Company made principal payments of $20 .3 million 

(including the refinancing of a $16 .2 million mortgage 
in fiscal 2014) compared with $6 .6 million (including the 
repayment of $3 .2 million in mortgages that matured) in 
fiscal 2013 compared with $15 .0 million (including the 
repayment of $11 .8 million in mortgages that matured) in 
fiscal 2012 . 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 re-financings can be achieved .

*Committed tenant-related obligations based on executed leases as of October 31, 2014 . 

  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 seven off-balance sheet investments 
in real 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 and Plaza 59 
Shopping Centers, a 50% equity interest in the Gateway 
Plaza Shopping Center and the Riverhead Applebee’s 
Plaza and a 20% economic interest in a partnership that 
owns a primarily 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 of, the 
operating and financial decisions of these investments . Our 

off-balance sheet arrangements are more fully discussed in 
Note 6, “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 2014, 
the Company paid approximately $19 .3 million for 
property improvements, tenant improvement and leasing 
commission costs . The amount of these expenditures 
was slightly higher than normal in fiscal 2014 as the 
Company was re-tenanting two properties, which re-
tenanting required more capital disbursement than the 
Company’s norm . The Company does not anticipate this 
type of expenditure to be recurring . The amounts of these 
expenditures can vary significantly depending on tenant 
negotiations, market conditions and rental rates . The 
Company expects to incur approximately $3 .9 million for 
anticipated capital and tenant improvements and leasing

costs in fiscal 2015 . 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 the 
metropolitan New York tri-state area outside of the City  
of New York .

Properties under contract to purchase
  In September 2014, the Company entered into a contract 
to purchase, for $124 .6 million, four retail properties 
totaling approximately 375,000 square feet located in 
northern New Jersey (“Retail Properties”) . The Company 
completed the purchase in December 2014 . The Company 
funded the acquisition with a combination of available 
cash remaining from the sale of Class A Common Stock 
and the sale of its Series G Preferred Stock, borrowings 
under its Facility and a non-recourse mortgage secured  
by the subject property (see “Financings and Debt” in  
this report) . 

Completed acquisitions
  In October 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, acquired a 51% interest in McLean Plaza 
Associates for a net investment of $6 .2 million . McLean 
Plaza’s sole asset is a grocery anchored shopping center 
located in Yonkers, NY . McLean Plaza is encumbered by 
a first mortgage payable in the amount of $2 .8 million . 
Subsequent to year end the mortgage encumbering 
McLean Plaza was refinanced . The new loan in the amount 
of $5 million has a term of ten years and requires payments 
of interest only at the fixed rate of 3 .7% .
  In August 2014, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, purchased for $47 .4 million two 
retail properties totaling 88,000 square feet located in 
Greenwich, CT . The Company funded the acquisition with 
a combination of available cash, borrowings under its 
Facility, other unsecured borrowings and a non-recourse 
mortgage secured by the subject property . 
  In January 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased for $9 million a 31,000 square foot 
retail shopping center located in Bethel, CT . The Company 
funded the equity needed to complete the purchase with

December 2013 . 
  In December 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, purchased for $18 .4 million a 63,000 
square foot retail shopping center located in Boonton, NJ . 
The acquisition required the assumption of an existing 
mortgage in the amount of $7 .8 million . The mortgage loan 
requires monthly payments of principal and interest at a 

fixed rate of 4 .2% per annum . The mortgage matures  
in September 2022 . The Company funded the equity  
needed to complete the purchase with borrowings  
under its Facility . 
  In December 2013, the Company, through a wholly 
owned subsidiary, purchased for $11 .0 million a 56,000 
square foot retail shopping center located in Bloomfield, 
NJ . The acquisition required the assumption of an existing 
mortgage in the amount of $7 .7 million . The mortgage loan 
requires monthly payments of principal and interest at a 
fixed rate of 5 .5% per annum . The mortgage matures in 
August 2016 . The Company funded the equity needed to 
complete the purchase with borrowings under its Facility . 
  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, for $18 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 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 the 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 May 2013, the Company, through a wholly owned 
subsidiary, purchased a 107,000 square foot 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 
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 the 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 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 . The Company funded  
the equity with proceeds from its Class A Common Stock 
and Series F Preferred Stock offerings completed  
in October 2012 . 
  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 

41

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.of an existing first mortgage loan on the property at its 
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 for each unit of 
Orangeburg ownership . The annual cash distribution will 
be paid from available cash, as defined, of Orangeburg . 
Upon liquidation, proceeds from the sale of Orangeburg 
assets are to be distributed in accordance with operating 
agreement . 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 $1 .7 million in Orangeburg, and as a result, as 
of October 31, 2014 its ownership percentage has increased 
from 2% to 21 .7% .
  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 . 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 December 2011 (fiscal 2012), 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 mortgage matured in April 
2012 and was repaid . The remaining equity needed to 
complete the acquisition was funded with available cash 
and borrowings on the Company’s Facility . 

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 . 

  In December 2013, the Company sold its remaining two 
non-core properties and realized a gain on sale of $12 .5 
million and reinvested the proceeds from the sale into 
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 Stockholders in 
accordance with GAAP to FFO for each of the three 
years in the period ended October 31, 2014 (amounts in 
thousands):

  FFO amounted to $33 .0 million in fiscal 2014 compared to 
$29 .5 million in fiscal 2013 and $30 .6 million in fiscal 2012 . 
The change in FFO was predominantly attributable to: a) the 
Company incurring $4 .2 million in one-time preferred stock 
redemption charges in fiscal 2013 versus only $1 .87 million 
in fiscal 2014; b) a decrease of $1 .1 million in preferred stock 
dividends in fiscal 2014 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 in fiscal 2013; and c) the additional net operating 
income related to the Company’s acquisitions in fiscal 2013 
and fiscal 2014 in excess of the financing cost of that capital .
   The net decrease in FFO in fiscal 2013, when compared 
with fiscal 2012 was 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 .7 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 .

Revenues:
  Base rents increased by 7 .2% to $75 .1 million in fiscal 
2014 as compared with $70 .1 million in the comparable 
period of 2013 . The increase in base rents and the changes 
in other income statement line items were attributable to:

Property Acquisitions and Properties Sold:
  In fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, the Company purchased 
17 properties totaling approximately 475,000 square 
feet of GLA . These properties accounted for all of the 
revenue and expense changes attributable to property 
acquisitions during fiscal 2014 when compared with 2013 . 
The Company also sold two properties in fiscal 2014 that 
are included in continuing operations, the revenues and 
expense changes for these two properties are also included 
in this column . 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 increase in base rents for properties held during 
the entire period of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 was a result 
of the leasing of vacant space in our portfolio in excess of 
new vacancies . In fiscal 2014, we increased the lease rate at 
the Meriden property by 25% and those new leases began 
to generate cash flow at various points throughout fiscal 
2014 . The new leases at Meriden provided an additional 
$440,000 in base rental revenue in fiscal 2014 . 
  In fiscal 2014, the Company leased or renewed 
approximately 552,000 square feet (or approximately 14 .6% 
of total consolidated property leasable area) at a combined 
average per square foot increase of 0 .48% . At October 31, 
2014, the Company’s core properties were approximately 
94 .8% leased, an increase of 1 .54% from the end of fiscal 
2013 . The above percentages exclude the Company’s White 
Plains property . In November 2014, the Company obtained 
a zoning change from the City of White Plains that will 
allow this property to be converted to a higher and better 
use . On this basis, the Company is maintaining vacancies 
to make potential redevelopment possible . 
  For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, recoveries 
from tenants for properties owned in both periods (which 
represent reimbursements from tenants for operating 
expenses and property taxes) increased by a net $419,000 . 

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 snow removal; this 
increase was partially offset by a decrease in parking lot 
and building repairs .
  Interest, dividends and other investment income 
decreased in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 when 
compared to the corresponding period in the prior year 
by $1 .2 million, 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, these securities were sold in May 2013 and the 
proceeds were invested into investment properties . 

Expenses:
  Property operating expenses for properties held in both 
fiscal year 2014 and 2013 increased by $195,000 as a result 
of an increase in expenses relating to snow removal . This 
increase was partially offset by a decrease in parking lot 
and building repairs .
  Real estate taxes for properties in both fiscal year 2014 
and 2013 increased by $444,000 as a result of normal tax 
assessment increases at some of our properties .
  Interest expense for properties held in the fiscal 
year ended October 31, 2014 when compared to the 
corresponding prior period decreased by $136,000 as 
a result of the normal amortization payments and the 
reduction of interest caused by the refinancing of a $16 
million mortgage on our Arcadian shopping center in 
August . The new mortgage reduced the interest rate to 
3 .995% from 6 .66% .
  Depreciation and amortization expense from properties 
held in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 when 
compared to the corresponding prior period increased by 
$245,000 as a result of an increase in capital improvements 
on properties held in both periods, most notably our 
Townline Square Center in Meriden, CT . That center 
was in the process of being re-tenanted, which included 
increased tenant improvement costs and additional capital 
improvements on the property .
  General and administrative expenses were relatively 
unchanged in fiscal 2014 when compared with fiscal 2013 .

Note 2—Properties held in both periods includes only properties owned for the entire periods of 2013 and 2012. All other properties are included in the property 
acquisition/sales column. There are no properties excluded from the analysis.

Revenues:
  Base rents increased by 3 .7% to $70 .1 million in fiscal 
2013 as compared with $67 .5 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 when compared with fiscal 
2012 . 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 a decrease in straight-line rent in the 
amount of $593,000, 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% . 
  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 parking lots, 
building roofs and building repairs . 
  Real estate taxes for properties held in both periods were

  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, 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 
on 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 .

Lease Rollovers
  For the fiscal year ended 2014, we signed leases 
for a total of 552,000 square feet of retail space in our 
consolidated core portfolio . New leases for vacant spaces 
were signed for 178,000 square feet at an average rental 
decrease of 1 .54% on a cash basis, excluding 13,400 square 
feet of new leases for which there was no prior rent history 
available . Renewals for 361,000 square feet of space 
previously occupied were signed at an average rental 
increase of 1 .69% on a cash basis .
  Tenant improvements averaged $25 .43 per square foot 
for new leases and $12 .80 per square foot for renewals for 
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 . The average term 
for new leases was 7 .1 years and the average term for 
renewal leases was 3 years .
   The rental increases/decreases associated with new and 
renewal leases generally include all leases signed in arms-
length transactions reflecting market leverage between 
landlords and tenants during the period . The comparison 
between average rent for expiring leases and new leases 
is determined by including minimum rent paid on the 
expiring lease and minimum rent to be paid on the new 
lease in the first year . In some instances, management 
exercises judgment as to how to most effectively reflect 

the comparability of spaces reported in this calculation . 
The change in rental income on comparable space leases 
is impacted by numerous factors including current market 
rates, location, individual tenant creditworthiness, use 
of space, market conditions when the expiring lease was 
signed, the age of the expiring lease, capital investment 
made in the space and the specific lease structure . Tenant 
improvements include the total dollars committed for 
the improvement (fit-out) of a space as it relates to a 
specific lease but may also include base building costs (i .e . 
expansion, escalators or new entrances) which are required 
to make the space leasable . Incentives (if applicable) 
include amounts paid to tenants as an inducement to sign a 
lease that do not represent building improvements .
  The leases signed in 2014 generally become effective over 
the following one to two years . There is risk that some new 
tenants will not ultimately take possession of their space 
and that tenants for both new and renewal leases may not 
pay all of their contractual rent due to operating, financing 
or other matters . However, these increases/decreases 
do provide information about the tenant/landlord 
relationship and the potential increase we may achieve in 
rental income over time .
  In 2015, we believe our leasing volume will be in-line 
with our historical averages with overall positive increases 
in rental income for new leases and flat to slightly positive 
increases for renewal leases . However, changes in rental 
income associated with individual signed leases on 
comparable spaces may be positive or negative, and we 
can provide no assurance that the rents on new leases will 
continue to increase at the above described levels, if at all .

Property Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
  The Company has early adopted FASB Accounting 
Standards Update No . 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial 
Statements (ASC Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and 
Equipment (ASC Topic 360)” (together, “ASU 2014-08”), 
which change the requirements for reporting discontinued 
operations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 . As a 
result of this update, beginning in April 2014, the Company 
no longer classifies individual properties that have been 
sold or are classified as held for sale as discontinued 
operations in the consolidated statement of income if  
the removal, or anticipated removal, of the asset(s)  
from the reporting entity does not represent a strategic  
shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s 
operations and financial results when disposed of . ASU 
2014-08 requires previously reported assets that qualified 
for discontinued operations reporting to continue to be 
reported in that manner .

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  In April 2014, the Company reached a decision to actively 
market for sale one of its properties located in Springfield, 
MA as that property no longer met the Company’s 
investment objectives . The property was sold in September 
2014 for $31 million and the Company realized a gain on 
sale of property of $24 .3 million . In accordance with ASU 
2014-08, the revenue, expenses and gain on sale of the 
property are not included in discontinued operations . The 
net book value of the Springfield asset at October 31, 2013 
was insignificant to financial statement presentation and as 
a result the Company did not include the asset as held for 
sale in accordance with ASC 360-10-45 .
  The operating results of the Springfield property which 
are included in the continuing operations were as follows 
(amounts in thousands):

  In December 2013, prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-
08, the Company sold its two distribution service facilities 
in its non-core portfolio and one core property for $18 .1 
million, resulting in a gain on sale of properties of $12 .5 
million . In accordance with ASC 360 and 205 the operating 
results of the distribution service facilities are shown as 
discontinued operations on the consolidated statements 
of income for fiscal years ended October 31, 2014, 2013 
and 2012 . The operating results of the other property were 
insignificant to financial statement presentation and are 
not shown as discontinued operations . The net book value 
of the two distribution service facilities and the one core 
property at October 31, 2013 are insignificant to financial 
statement presentation and as a result the Company will 
not include the assets as held for sale in accordance with 
ASC 360-10-45 .
  The combined operating results for the distribution 
service facilities have been reclassified as discontinued 
operations in the accompanying consolidated statements 
of income . The following table summarizes revenues and 
expenses for the Company’s discontinued operations

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 .

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER  
FINANCIAL REPORTING

  Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over 
financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 . 
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the 
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, 
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and 
the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles .
  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: relate to the 
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of  
assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance of the recording of all transactions necessary to permit the 
preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles and the proper authorization of receipts and expenditures in accordance with authorization of the 
Company’s management and directors; and 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 
Company’s consolidated financial statements .
  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements . 
Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures  
may deteriorate .
  Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31,  
2014 . In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations 
of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) . Based on its assessment, 
management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 
2014 . 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 attestation report which is included on the following page .

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, 2014, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission-(“COSO”) (2013 Framework) . 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 consolidated 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, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 
issued by COSO (2013 Framework) .

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, 2014 (amounts in thousands, except 
weighted average interest rate):

6 .11% 

4 .42% 

  October 31, 2014, the Company had $40 .6 million in outstanding variable rate debt (based on LIBOR) . If LIBOR were  
to increase or decrease by 1%, the Company’s interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $406,000 .
  The Company believes that its weighted average fixed interest rate of 4 .8% 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 its variable rate debt to a  
fixed-rate basis . As of October 31, 2014, the Company has four open derivative financial instruments . These interest rate 
swaps are cross collateralized with three mortgages on properties in Rye, NY and one property in Ossining, NY . The 
Rye swaps expire in October 2019 and the Ossining swap expires in October 2024, concurrent with the maturity of the 
respective mortgages .
