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
2015  was another solid, record-breaking year for Urstadt Biddle Properties. Revenues 

grew 13% to $115 million; we sold one of our last properties lying outside of the area of our 
primary geographic focus; we completed some high-quality acquisitions; and we made good 
progress in leasing vacancies. Increasing the percentage of the portfolio under lease for our 
properties to our historical norm of 95% has been our most important priority, and we are  
pleased that the leased rate for our properties rose to 96% by year-end.  

the redevelopment of this property to increase 
its value. Working with the City of White Plains, 
we obtained a zoning change to permit this 3.5 
acre site, containing a 189,000 square foot mostly 
vacant mall, to be transformed into an 860,000 
square foot dynamic, mixed-use development 
consisting of two 20+ story towers with over 700 
rental apartments built above 90,000 square 
feet of retail space. During the approval process, 
we decided that it was in the best interest of 
our shareholders to sell the site rather than 
develop it ourselves, and we are pleased to have 
a binding contract to sell the site to one of the 
nation’s preeminent developers once certain 
conditions are met. We are close to satisfying 
those conditions and expect to close on the 
sale this spring. We are pleased that the City 
and the members of the local community have 
embraced our vision for the site, and we are 
proud that our efforts will lead to the construction 
of one of Westchester’s preeminent mixed-use 
developments. We will use the sale proceeds to 
invest in grocery-anchored shopping centers  
in our market, which will provide a nice boost  
to our FFO once accomplished. 

Staples Plaza, Yorktown Heights, NY: 
Following a successful zone change in 2013, in 
2014 we completed Phase I of the construction 
of a new self-storage facility consisting of 305 
storage units in 34,000 net rentable square feet. 
We opened the facility for business in July 2014, 
and as of December 2015 Phase I of the project 
was over 90% leased. Consequently, we are moving 
forward with Phase II of the project. Phase II, 
which we expect to open this spring, will double 
the size of the facility. This facility is the market’s 
low-cost leader with the highest quality finishes, 
and we are pleased to have Extra Space Storage 
(the nation’s second largest self-storage REIT) 
managing the facility for us. This year, we also 
obtained another zone change for this property 
which will (i) permit us to build an additional 
outparcel restaurant building of 3,500 square feet 
and (ii) allow our shadow anchor (BJ’s Warehouse 

We have a relatively simple strategy. We own 
a portfolio consisting of 74 irreplaceable high- 
quality properties located almost entirely in 
the high income, high barrier to entry, suburbs 
surrounding New York City. 98% of our revenues 
come from retail properties. Our goal is to 
continue growing that portfolio by buying similar 
properties for cash, a combination of cash and a 
modest amount of mortgage debt or by creating 
DownReit partnerships where it is advantageous 
for sellers to do so. We are efficient in our 
operations because we are focused on one market 
and operate out of one office. Our unparalleled 
market knowledge and tenant relationships make 
us a solid buyer or partner. 81% of our square 
footage is comprised of convenience or necessity 
retail anchored by a grocery store, drug store, or a 
warehouse club. We believe that this type of retail 
will continue to successfully compete with and 
benefit from online shopping.

Our Redevelopment Projects are 
Progressing Nicely 
The company has 3 properties under redevelopment, 
and fiscal 2015 saw substantial progress with 
respect to each of them. A recap follows:

A&P Bankruptcy
In July 2015, A&P filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy 
and subsequently announced that it would be 
liquidating all of its assets. A&P has been in 
decline for over a decade and was surviving mostly 
as a result of its high-quality real estate, so the 
bankruptcy came as no surprise. Nevertheless, it 
has resulted in the greatest change in the New York 
area grocery market in the past 25 years. Nine of 
A&P’s 260 stores were anchor stores in our shopping 
centers but, counter to what one might think, we 
expect A&P’s bankruptcy to be a net benefit to our 
company. Given A&P’s long-term struggles, the 
quality of A&P’s stores had decreased over time, 
leading to declining sales. From our perspective, 
this meant a decrease in customer traffic to our 
A&P-anchored properties, particularly over the 
past three years. ACME Supermarkets, a division of 
the Albertsons/Cerberus-owned supermarket chain 
(second-largest in the country), has purchased 4 of 
the former A&P stores in our portfolio, with another 
purchase pending, and Key Food, a New York-area 
cooperative supermarket chain, purchased one of 
the other former A&P stores. We bought out two of 
the remaining three A&P leases (for our Wayne and 
Bloomfield, NJ properties), and we are currently 
negotiating leases with replacement supermarkets 
for both of these locations. Assuming we conclude 
these two leases, 8 of our 9 former A&P store 
locations will soon have improved supermarket 
operators at equal or higher rents. In addition,  
we are marketing the last of the former A&P stores 
(at our Pompton Lakes property) and hope to soon 
attract a quality operator.

Capital Market Events
In November 2014, we 
completed a follow-on offering 
of $60 million of common 
stock at $20.82 per share, 
the proceeds of which were 
used in connection with the 
December 2014 acquisition of 
a $124.5 million portfolio of 4 
shopping centers in northern 
New Jersey. We financed the 
balance of the NJ portfolio 
acquisition with a 12-year 
$62.7 million mortgage at a 
fixed interest rate of 3.85%. 
We remain one of the lowest 
leveraged REITs with aggregate 
mortgage debt equal to only 
28% of total book capitalization 
at year-end. We have  
two mortgages totaling  
$15.1 million coming due 
in 2016, one of which we expect to refinance,  
and the other of which we will repay in full.

Club) to build an 8-bay gasoline station in an 
underutilized area of our parking area. Our 
approvals for these zone changes are under appeal, 
but we expect to be able to move forward with these 
projects in 2016, along with a renovation of the 
façade of the main shopping center building.

Orangetown Shopping Center, Orangeburg, 
NY: We completed a façade renovation for this 
property in 2015, and we expect to complete parking 
lot renovations and related work in the summer      
of 2016.

Leasing
Our leasing indicators continued to improve in 2015. 
In our core portfolio, we renewed 295,000 square 
feet of leases at an average rent increase of 5.1%, 
and we signed 188,000 square feet of new leases 
at average rents within 0.3% of the prior leases for 
these same spaces. These leasing results enabled 
us to increase our leased rate for our portfolio 
to 96%. 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 smaller 
spaces leased to convenience and service retailers. 
A great way to learn more about the company’s 
portfolio is to visit our website (www.ubproperties.
com), click on the “Properties” section and browse 
our properties. Among other things, our website 
contains photos of our properties, identifies what 
spaces are available for lease and describes the 
demographics of the communities surrounding     
our properties.

In addition, we have an $80 million unsecured 
credit line that presently has $53 million available 
to help support our acquisition program.

Portfolio Pruning and Acquisitions
In 2015, we took advantage of the current seller’s 
market by disposing of two assets outside of our 
core market, as such assets did not fit within 
our long-term strategy of owning infill real 
estate in the New York City suburbs. We sold our 
Meriden, CT shopping center for $44.5 million, 
and we also sold a small net-leased property in 
Waterbury, CT for $2.4 million. We were able 
to re-deploy all of the sale proceeds into new 
acquisitions. Fiscal 2015 was a solid year for 
acquisitions, as we purchased the following 
properties valued at $138 million:

In total, UBP invested $138 million in these 
new acquisitions, financed with funds generated 
primarily from the sale of properties, proceeds 
from the November 2014 common stock sale, 
and a long-term fixed rate mortgage loan. We are 
excited about the quality of these acquisitions  
and believe they will be accretive to earnings  
and solid long-term investments for us.

Results of Operations
In 2015, revenues rose 13% to a record $115 
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 14% 
to $40.3 million as compared to the prior year’s 
funds from operations with the same exclusions. 
Property expenses rose 14% in 2015 due in large 
part to increased snow removal costs. General  
and administrative expenses currently are 1.0%  
of total assets, a slight decrease from 2014.

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 have learned how 
to adapt. Some retailers, however, are far more 
negatively affected than others and 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. We continue to feel that well-located, 
grocery-anchored shopping centers are solid long-
term investments because it is very expensive 
for Internet grocery operators, like Amazon, to 
compete with traditional or brick-and-mortar 
grocery stores in terms of level of service and  
pricing. Grocery stores also are adapting their  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 growing 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 continue to expect a 
positive effect on the rents that we can charge  
and retailers can afford to pay. 

In December 2015, the company’s Board of 
Directors increased the annualized dividend 
rate on each of the company’s Class A Common 
stock and Common stock by $.02 per share. This 
increase in the dividend rate represents the 46th 
year the company has paid a dividend and the 
22nd consecutive year that the company has 
increased the dividend level, which is reflective of 
the Board’s continued confidence in the company. 

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

Tribute to E. Virgil Conway
In late 2015, E. Virgil Conway passed away.  
Virgil had been a member of the Board since 
1989 and was instrumental in the strategy of 
transforming the company from a diversified 
net lease company to the type of company that 
it is today. Virgil was a dedicated, hard-working 
director who brought to Board meetings great 
insight derived from his vast business and political 
experience. Virgil did not miss a single Board 
meeting in 27 years, and we will sorely miss him.

own strategies with services such as in-store 
pickup and home delivery. In addition, Uber-like 
delivery services are being tested by brick-and-
mortar grocery stores in some markets. A grocery 
store, in effect, is a warehouse. Accordingly, 
unlike Internet retailers that wish to compete for 
home delivery business, a brick-and-mortar grocer 
does not need to build a separate distribution 
warehouse. We are highly skeptical that drones 
will ever be delivering bags of groceries to the 
suburban homes in our market.

UB Solar
This year, we completed the installation of 8 
more roof-top solar arrays on our Connecticut 
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 
240,000 square feet of solar arrays generating 
approximately 2,400 kW of power on the rooftops 
of our properties. This is equivalent to providing 
power to 480 homes. 

Outlook 
We believe 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 
reasons, transition to the suburbs surrounding NYC 
where costs are lower, the grass is greener, and the 
communities are strong. A very small percentage 
of companies in the New York metro market are 
negatively affected by the economy in China or oil 
prices around the globe. On the other hand, the 
recent drop in oil prices has in effect given each  
of our shopper’s substantial savings in their pocket 
to potentially spend at our shopping centers. 

New York City is North America’s greatest 
city, and we are happy and optimistic to own 
properties surrounding it. Well-located shopping

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, 2015, the Company owned or had equity 
interests in 74 properties containing a total of 4 .9 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 . 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 2015 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, 2015 . As of October 31, 2015, the fiscal  
tax years 2012 through and including 2014 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 are 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 reports properties that are either disposed 
of or are classified as held for sale in continuing 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 .  
  In September 2014, the Company sold, for $31 million 
its property located in Springfield, MA, as that property 
no longer met the Company’s investment objectives . In 
conjunction with the sale, the Company realized a gain 
on sale of property in the amount of $24 .3 million, which 
is included in continuing operations in the consolidated 
statement of income for the year ended October 31, 2014 . 
The revenue and expenses of this property are included  

in continuing operations in the consolidated statements  
of income for the years ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 . 
  In August 2015, the Company sold, for $44 .5 million its 
property located in Meriden, CT, as that property no longer 
met the Company’s investment objectives . In conjunction 
with the sale, the Company realized a gain on sale of 
property in the amount of $20 .0 million, which is included 
in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of 
income for the year ended October 31, 2015 . The revenue 
and expenses of this property are included in continuing 
operations in the consolidated statements of income for 
the years ended October 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 . The net 
book value of the Meriden asset at October 31, 2014 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 combined operating results of the Springfield 
property and the Meriden property, which are included  
in the continuing operations were as follows (amounts  
in thousands):

  In December 2013 (fiscal 2014), prior to the adoption 
of ASU 2014-08 that changed the criteria for reporting 
discontinued operations, 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 (prior to the accounting change) the operating 
results of the distribution service facilities are shown as 
discontinued operations on the consolidated statements 
of income for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2014 and 
2013 . The operating results of the other property were 
insignificant to financial statement presentation and are  
not shown as discontinued operations .
  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 $3,108,000 and $2,703,000 
as of October 31, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015 .

Revenue Recognition
  Our leases with tenants are classified as operating leases . 
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 

18

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, 2015 and 2014, approximately 
$15,570,000 and $14,853,000, 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, 
2015 and 2014, tenant receivables in the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheets are shown net of allowances 
for doubtful accounts of $3,668,000 and $3,106,000, 
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, 2015, 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, 2015, the Company 
had approximately $24 .3 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 .93% per 
annum . As of October 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company 
had a deferred liability of  $1,230,000 and a deferred asset 
of $63,000, respectively (included in accounts payable 
and accrued expenses 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 . 

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, 
2015, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted 
of net unrealized losses on interest rate swap agreements 
of approximately $1,230,000 . At October 31, 2014, 
accumulated other comprehensive income consisted of 
net unrealized gains on an interest rate swap agreement 
of approximately $63,000 . 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’s primary business is the ownership, 
management, and redevelopment of retail properties . The 
Company reviews operating and financial information for 
each property on an individual basis and therefore, each 
property represents an individual operating segment . The 
Company evaluates financial performance using property 
operating income, which consists of base rental income  

20

and tenant reimbursement income, less rental expenses 
and real estate taxes . Only one of the Company’s 
properties, located in Stamford, CT (“Ridgeway”), is 
considered significant as its revenue is in excess of 
10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues and 
accordingly is a reportable segment . The Company has 
aggregated the remainder of our properties as they share 
similar long-term economic characteristics and have other 
similarities including the fact that they are operated using 
consistent business strategies, are typically located in the 
same major metropolitan area, and have similar tenant 
mixes .
  Ridgeway is located in Stamford, Connecticut and was 
developed in the 1950’s and redeveloped in the mid 1990’s . 
The property contains approximately 374,000 square feet  
of GLA . It is the dominant grocery-anchored center and  
the largest non-mall shopping center located in the City  
of Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut .

Reclassification
  Certain fiscal 2013 and 2014 amounts have been 
reclassified to conform to current period presentation .

New Accounting Standards
  In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards 
Update (“ASU”) 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 . In August 
2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective 
date of ASU 2014-09 for all public companies until 
December 15, 2017 . The Company is currently assessing 
the potential impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09  
will have on its consolidated financial statements .
  In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, 
“Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the 
Consolidation Analysis,” (“ASU 2015-02”) . ASU 2015-02 
affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate 
whether they should consolidate certain legal entities . 
ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited 
partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting 
interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general 
partner should consolidate a limited partnership and 
affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that 
are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee 
arrangements and related party relationships . ASU 2015-02 
is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within 
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 . 
Early adoption is permitted . A reporting entity may apply 
the amendments in ASU 2015-02 using: (a) a modified 
retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect 
adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal 
year of adoption; or (b) by applying the amendments 
retrospectively . ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have  
a material impact on the Company’s consolidated  
financial statements .
   During April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No . 2015-
03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest—Simplifying the 
Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs .” ASU 2015-03 
modifies the treatment of debt issuance costs from a 
deferred charge to a deduction of the carrying value of 
the financial liability . ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods 
beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption 
permitted and retrospective application . ASU 2015-03 is 
not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s 
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, 2015 .

  The Company’s investments at October 31, 2015 consisted 
of equity interests in 74 properties, which are located in 
various regions throughout 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 primary investment focus is neighborhood 
and community shopping centers located in the region 
just described . 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 .

  Space at the Company’s 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  
$472 .8 become due as follows (in millions): 2016—$80 .4;  
2017—$73 .2; 2018—$61 .1; 2019—$52 .8; 2020—$43 .3 and  
thereafter—$162 .0 .
  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, 2015 .

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

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 .50% per annum . The mortgage matures

  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 (“Post Road Properties”), for $18 million . In 
conjunction with the purchase, the Company assumed an 
existing first mortgage loan encumbering the properties

  The Company has an $80 million Unsecured Revolving 
Credit Facility with a syndicate of four banks led by  
The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent . 
The syndicate also includes Wells Fargo Bank N .A . 
(syndication agent), Bank of Montreal and Regions 
Bank (co-documentation agents) . The Facility gives the 
Company the option, under certain conditions, to increase 
the Facility’s borrowing capacity up to $125 million . The 
maturity date of the Facility is September 21, 2016 with a 
one-year extension at the Company’s option . Borrowings 
under the Facility can be used for, among other things, 
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 
with such covenants at October 31, 2015 .
  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 had a term of six months with a 
Company option for a six-month extension . The interest 
rate was the Eurodollar rate plus 1 .40% to 1 .90% based on 
consolidated indebtedness . The Term Loan had 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 term loan was repaid in 
August 2015 with proceeds from the sale of the Company’s 
Meriden, CT property .
  During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, 
the Company borrowed $104 .8 million and $65 .1 million, 
respectively, on its Facility to fund a portion of the equity 
for property acquisitions and capital improvements to its 
properties . During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 
and 2014, the Company re-paid $97 .6 million and $58 .8 
million, respectively, on its Facility with proceeds from 
a combination of non-recourse mortgage financings and 
available cash .

(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  

25

Urstadt Biddle ProPerties inc.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 33 .2% 
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 $4 .1  
million in Orangeburg and as a result as of October 31,  
2015 its ownership percentage has increased to 33 .2%  
from approximately 2 .92% at inception .

McLean Plaza
  The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 
is the managing member and owns a 53% interest in 
McLean Plaza Associates, LLC, a limited liability company 
(“McLean”), which owns a grocery-anchored shopping 
center . The McLean operating agreement provides for the 
non-managing members to receive a fixed annual cash 
distribution equal to 5 .05% of their invested capital . The 
annual cash distribution is paid from available cash, as 
defined, of McLean . The balance of available cash, if any, 
is fully distributable to the Company . Upon liquidation, 
proceeds from the sale of McLean assets are to be 
distributed in accordance with the operating agreement . 
The non-managing members are not obligated to make  
any additional capital contributions to the entity . 

Noncontrolling interests:
  The Company accounts for non-controlling interests  
in accordance with ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation .” 
Because the limited partners or non-controlling 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  

26

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 and McLean 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, 2015 and 2014, the Company adjusted 
the carrying value of the non-controlling interests by $2 .3 
million and $887,000, respectively, with the corresponding 
adjustment recorded in stockholders’ equity .

Company’s redeemable non-controlling interests

Gateway Plaza and Applebee’s at Riverhead
  The Company, through two wholly owned subsidiaries, 
owns a 50% undivided equity interest in the Gateway Plaza 
Shopping Center (“Gateway”) and Applebee’s at Riverhead 
(“Applebee’s”) . 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  

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
that is partially leased . Applebee’s has a 5,400 square 
foot freestanding Applebee’s restaurant with additional 
development rights for 7,200 square feet .
  Simultaneously with the acquisition of Gateway, a $14 
million non-recourse first mortgage payable was placed on 
the property with $12 .0 million of the proceeds distributed 
to the seller . The 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 . In September 2015, Gateway 
satisfied the closing contingencies and received the balance 
of the mortgage .

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”), which is anchored by a Fresh 
Market grocery store and the 24,000 square foot Plaza 
59 Shopping Center located in Spring Valley, New York 
(“Plaza 59”), which is anchored by a local food grocer . 

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 . 
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 . 
  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 $30 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”), which is 
anchored by a Hannaford Bros . grocery store .
  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 .
  The Company accounts for the above investments 
under the equity method of accounting since it exercises 
significant influence, but does not control the joint 
ventures . The other venturers in the joint ventures 
have substantial participation rights in the financial 
decisions and operation of the ventures or properties, 
which preclude the Company from consolidating the 
investments . The Company has evaluated its investment in 
the joint ventures and has concluded that the joint 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 .

(7)  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

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

of the Series G Preferred Stock are reflected as a reduction 
of additional paid in capital .
  In October 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

stock as a reduction of income available to Common and 
Class A Common shareholders in the accompanying 
consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year  
ended October 31, 2013 . 

Common Stock
  In November 2014, the Company sold 2,875,000 shares 
of Class A Common Stock in an underwritten follow-on 
common stock offering for $20 .82 per share and raised net 
proceeds of $59 .7 million .
  The Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to 1/20 of 
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 
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 2015, the Company issued 5,326 
shares of Common Stock and 6,104 shares of Class A 
Common Stock (6,347 shares of Common Stock and 6,811 
shares of Class A Common Stock in fiscal 2014) through 
the DRIP . As of October 31, 2015, there remained 352,627 
shares of Common Stock and 410,169 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 two 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 .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  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
  The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a 
share repurchase program (“Program”) for the repurchase 
of up to 2,000,000 shares, in the aggregate, of Common 
stock, Class A Common stock and Series F Cumulative 
Preferred stock in open market transactions . 
  Prior to fiscal 2015, the Company had repurchased 4,600 
shares of Common Stock and 724,578 shares of Class A 
Common Stock under the Program . For the year ended 
October 31, 2015, the Company repurchased an additional 
188,753 shares of Class A Common stock at the average 
price per Class A Common share of $17 .79 under the 
Current 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 2015, the Company awarded 152,000 shares  
of Common Stock and 92,750 shares of Class A Common 
Stock to participants in the Plan . The grant date fair  
value of restricted stock grants awarded to participants 
in 2015 was approximately $4 .8 million . As of October 31, 
2015, there was $12 .7 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 .7 years . For the years ended 
October 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, amounts charged to 
compensation expense totaled $4,121,000, $4,088,000  
and $4,073,000, respectively .

  A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock awards as of October 31, 2015, and changes 
during the year ended October 31, 2015 is presented below:

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, $150,000 and $145,000 in each of the three years ended October 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively . 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 based on the Company’s 
Class A Common stock 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 or limited liability company in which 
the investor owns the joint venture 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, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands):

  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 market value 
measurements based upon Level 3 inputs changed from 
$9,062 at November 1, 2014 to $2,851 at October 31, 2015 
as a result of a $77 decrease in the redemption value of 
the Company’s noncontrolling interest in Ironbound in 
accordance with the application of ASC Topic 810 and 
the transfer in the amount of $6,134 of the noncontrolling 
interest in McLean to Level 1 . During the quarter ended 
January 31, 2015, Mclean was converted to a limited 
liability company from a general partnership . One of the 
results of this conversion is that the noncontrolling equity 
interests in McLean can only be redeemed for shares of  
the Company’s Class A Common stock or for cash based 
on the value of the Company’s Class A Common stock .  
In accordance with ASC 810, the noncontrolling interest 
will now be valued as a Level 1 measurement .

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
  The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, 
restricted cash, tenant receivables, prepaid expenses, 
other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are 
reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the 
short-term nature of these instruments . The carrying value 
of the revolving credit facility is deemed to be at fair value 
since the outstanding debt is directly tied to monthly 
LIBOR contracts . Mortgage notes payable that were 
assumed in property acquisitions were recorded at  
their fair value at the time they were assumed . 
  Mortgage notes payable and other loans are estimated 
to have a fair value of approximately $266 million and 
$206 million at October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, 
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, 2014, 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, 2015, the Company had commitments of 
approximately $11 .0 million for tenant-related obligations .

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 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, 2015, the 
Company owned or had equity interests in 74 properties 
containing a total of 4 .9 million square feet of GLA  
of which approximately 96 .1% was leased (95 .3% at 
October 31, 2014) . 
  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 . In February 
2015, two more leases at the property totaling 90,000 square 
feet expired, for which the average base rent per square 
foot was approximately $24 .69 per annum . Currently, the 
189,000 square foot property has only 20,000 square feet 
leased and occupied at an average base rent per square 
foot of $22 .79 . In April 2015, the Company entered into a 
contract to sell this property . The contract contains certain 
contingencies that need to be satisfied in order for the 
transaction to close, and there is the possibility it may 
not close . If all contingencies are satisfied, the Company 
expects the transaction to close in the second quarter of 
fiscal 2016 .
  Included in the 74 properties are equity interests in seven 
unconsolidated joint ventures, which joint ventures were 
approximately 98 .1% leased at October 31, 2015 (97 .7% at 
October 31, 2014) . 
  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 21 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 
2016 . 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 
2014 and 2015, 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 with a concentration 
in the metropolitan New York tri-state area outside of the 
City of New York .

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  Key elements of the Company’s growth strategies and 
operating policies are to:
  •  Acquire neighborhood and community shopping 

proceeds of $59 .9 million . The Company used the proceeds 
from these stock sales in connection with the following:
  •  On November 21, 2014, $61 .25 million was used to 

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 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 northeastern part of the United States with a 
concentration in the metropolitan New York tri-state 
area outside of the City of New York .

  •  Increase property values by aggressively marketing 

available GLA and renewing existing leases

  •  Renovate, reconfigure or expand existing properties  

to meet the needs of existing or new tenants

  •  Negotiate and sign leases which provide for regular  
or fixed contractual increases to minimum rents
  •  Control property operating and administrative costs

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  Critical accounting policies are those that are both 
important to the presentation of the Company’s 
financial condition and results of operations and require 
management’s most difficult, complex or subjective 
judgments . For a further discussion about the Company’s 
critical accounting policies, please see Note 1 to the 
consolidated financial statements of the Company in  
this report .

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  At October 31, 2015, the Company had unrestricted 
cash and cash equivalents of $6 .6 million compared to 
$73 .0 million at October 31, 2014 . The Company’s sources 
of liquidity and capital resources include its cash and 
cash equivalents, proceeds from bank borrowings and 
long-term mortgage debt, capital financings and sales 
of real estate investments . Payments of expenses related 
to real estate operations, debt service, management 
and professional fees, and dividend requirements place 
demands on the Company’s short-term liquidity . 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, 
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 and the sale of 
2,875,000 shares of Class A Common stock that raised 

repurchase all of the Company’s outstanding Series D 
Preferred Stock .

  •  On December 10, 2014, $61 .9 million was used to fund 

a portion of the $124 .6 million purchase of four  
retail properties located in three counties in northern 
New Jersey .

  •  In November and December 2014 and March 2015, the 

Company repaid a net $9 .35 million on its Unsecured 
Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”) .

  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 34% and a very strong fixed charge 
coverage ratio of over 2 .75 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 2016 and 
has 45 properties in its consolidated portfolio that are not 
encumbered by secured mortgage debt . At October 31, 
2015, the Company had loan availability of $56 .2 million  
on its unsecured revolving line of credit . 
  In July 2015, one of the Company’s largest tenants, 
A&P filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of Title 
11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) . 
As of November 2015, four of the nine A&P leases in our 
portfolio have been purchased by ACME, a division of 
Albertson’s and one of the leases has been purchased 
by Key Food . As a result, there will be no negative effect 
on the Company for those leases . The Company has 
purchased and terminated the leases within its Valley 
Ridge and Bloomfield shopping centers from A&P and 
now has control of those spaces, which it expects to re-lease 
in due course . The Company purchased these two leases 
believing the base rental rate on the leases was below 
market, which would allow for the Company to increase 
its cash flow if the spaces could be re-leased to new tenants 
at prevailing market rates . The remaining two spaces 
(Pompton and Boonton) may still be sold by A&P to a new 
operator during the bankruptcy process . Alternatively, 
the leases could be rejected in bankruptcy, in which 
event the Company would have to re-lease those spaces . 
The Company believes that it will be able to re-lease the 
two spaces it purchased from A&P and potentially the 
Pompton and Boonton spaces (if necessary) but cannot 
predict when such re-leasing will occur .

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 2016 and 
to meet its dividend requirements necessary to maintain 
its REIT status . In fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, net cash flow 
provided by operations amounted to $51 .1 million, $50 .9 
million and $51 .0 million, respectively . Cash dividends 
paid on common and preferred shares equaled $50 .0 
million in fiscal 2015 compared to $45 .9 million in fiscal 
2014 and $46 .6 million in fiscal 2013 . 
  The Company expects to continue paying regular 
dividends to its stockholders . These dividends will be paid 
from operating cash flows which are expected to increase 
due to property acquisitions and growth in operating 
income in the existing portfolio and from other sources . 
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from 
rents under existing leases at its properties . The Company’s 
operating cash flow therefore depends on the rents that it 
is able to charge to its tenants, and the ability of its tenants 
to make rental payments . The Company believes that 
the nature of the properties in which it typically invests, 
primarily grocery-anchored neighborhood and community 
shopping centers, provides a more stable revenue flow in 
uncertain economic times, in that consumers still need to 
purchase basic staples and convenience items . However, 
even in the geographic areas in which the Company owns 
properties, general economic downturns may adversely 

impact the ability of the Company’s tenants to make lease 
payments, 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 a reduction in the tenant pool 
for retail commercial real estate owners like us . If internet 
commerce continues to erode the need for traditional retail 
stores it could make it more difficult for the Company to 
lease available space and the Company’s future cash flow 
could be adversely affected . 

Net cash flows from:

Operating Activities
  Net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted 
to $51 .1 million in fiscal 2015, compared to $50 .9 million in 
fiscal 2014, and $51 .0 million in fiscal 2013 . The changes in 
operating cash flows were primarily the result of: 

Decrease from fiscal 2014 to fiscal 2015:
  The decrease was due primarily to an increase in other 
assets and other liabilities offset by an increase in the 
operating income generated by the Company’s properties 
in the year ended October 31, 2015 versus fiscal 2014 .

36

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Decrease from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014:
  This decrease was 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 .

Investing Activities
  Net cash flows used in investing activities was $105 .0 
million in fiscal 2015, $54 .6 million in fiscal 2014 and $49 .6 
million in fiscal 2013 . The change in investing cash flows 
was primarily the result of:  

Increase in cash used from fiscal 2014 to fiscal 2015:
  The increase in cash flows used in investing activities  
in fiscal 2015 when compared to the prior fiscal year  
was the result of the Company purchasing six properties 
totaling $136 .3 million in fiscal 2015 versus purchasing 
eight properties in fiscal 2014 requiring $81 .7 million . 

Increase in cash used from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014:
  The Company acquired eight 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 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, which 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 . 
  The Company regularly makes capital investments 
in its properties for property improvements, tenant 
improvements costs and leasing commissions . 

Financing Activities
  Net cash flows used by financing activities amounted 
to $12 .5 million in fiscal 2015 compared with net cash 
provided by financing activities in fiscal 2014 of $73 .8 
million and net cash used by financing activities in the 
amount of $76 .5 million in fiscal 2013 . The change in net 
cash provided (used) by financing activities was primarily 
attributable to:

Cash generated:

Fiscal 2015: (Total $237.6 million)
  •   Proceeds from mortgage financings in the amount of 

$68 .2 million .

  •   Proceeds from revolving credit line borrowings in the 

amount of $104 .8 million .

  •   Proceeds from the issuance of Series G Preferred Stock 

in the amount of $4 .6 million .

  •   Proceeds from the issuance of Class A Common stock 

in the amount of $59 .8 million .

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 .

Fiscal 2013: (Total $39.9 million)
  •  Proceeds from revolving credit line borrowings of 

$38 .4 million .

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

Cash used: 

Fiscal 2015: (Total $250.1 million)
  •  Dividends to shareholders in the amount of $50 .0 million .
  •  Repayment of mortgage notes payable in the amount of 

$12 .9 million .

  •  Repayment of revolving credit line borrowings in the 

amount of $97 .6 million .

  •  Repayment of the unsecured term loan in the amount  

of $25 million .

  •  Redemption of preferred stock in the amount of  

$61 .3 million .

  •  Repurchase of Class A Common stock in the amount  

of $3 .4 million .

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 .

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

based on outstanding borrowings during the year . The 
Facility contains certain representations 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, 2015 .

 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 had a term of six months with a 
Company option for a six-month extension . The interest 
rate was the Eurodollar rate plus 1 .40% to 1 .90% based on 
consolidated indebtedness . The Term Loan had 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 Term Loan was repaid in 
August 2015 with proceeds from the sale of the Company’s 
Meriden, CT property .
  During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, 
the Company borrowed $104 .8 million and $65 .1 million, 
respectively, on its Facility to fund a portion of the equity 
for property acquisitions and capital improvements to its 
properties . During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 
and 2014, the Company re-paid $97 .6 million and $58 .8 
million, respectively, on its Facility with proceeds from a 
combination of non-recourse mortgage financings, secured 
mortgage financings and available cash .
  In December 2014, through four wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, the Company obtained a $62 .7 million  
non-recourse first mortgage loan secured by the NJ Retail 
Properties that were purchased in December 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 . 
  In July 2015, the Company repaid at maturity its $4 .5 
million non-recourse first mortgage loan encumbered  
by its Fairfield Plaza property . The Company funded  
this repayment with a borrowing on its Facility .
  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 .

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
During fiscal 2014, the Company, through a wholly-
owned subsidiary, assumed an existing non-recourse first 
mortgage loan encumbering the Bloomfield Property at 
its estimated fair value 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 .
  During fiscal 2014, the Company, through a wholly-
owned subsidiary, assumed an existing non-recourse first 
mortgage loan encumbering the McLean Plaza Property 
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 its Arcadian property 
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 .
  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% 
per annum . The mortgage matures in August 2016 . 

  During fiscal 2013, the Company, through a wholly-
owned subsidiary, assumed a first mortgage loan 
encumbering the New Providence Property at its estimated 
fair value of $21 .3 million . The mortgage loan requires 
monthly payments of principal and interest at the fixed rate 
of 4 .0% per annum . The mortgage matures in January 2022 .
    In June of fiscal 2013, the Company repaid, at maturity, 
its first mortgage payable secured by its Veterans Plaza 
property in the amount of $3 .2 million .
  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 $260 .5 million consist of fixed rate mortgage 
loan indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 
4 .6% at October 31, 2015 . The mortgage loans are secured 
by 22 properties with a net book value of $454 million and 
have fixed rates of interest ranging from 2 .8% to 6 .6% . The 
Company made principal payments of $12 .9 million in 
the year ended October 31, 2015 (including the repayment 
of a mortgage at maturity in the amount of $4 .5 million) 
compared to $20 .3 million (including the refinancing of $16 .2 
million mortgage) in the comparable period in fiscal 2014 . 
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 .

  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 2015, 
the Company paid approximately $12 .2 million for 
property improvements, tenant improvements and 
leasing commission costs . The Company expects to incur 
approximately $11 .0 million for anticipated capital and 
tenant improvements and leasing costs in fiscal 2016 .  
These expenditures are expected to be funded from 
operating cash flows or bank borrowings .

Significant Property Acquisitions
  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 .
  In July 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned 
subsidiary, purchased for $10 .0 million, a 26,000 square 
foot grocery-anchored shopping center located in Harrison 
(Westchester County), New York . The acquisition was 
funded with a borrowing on the Company’s Facility .

40

  In June 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned 
subsidiary, purchased for $4 .0 million, a 7,000 square  
foot retail property located in Fort Lee (Bergen County),

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 .00% 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 
primary marketplace with a combined GLA of 20,000  
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 . 

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, 2015 (amounts

  FFO amounted to $38 .1 million in fiscal 2015 compared 
to $33 .0 million in fiscal 2014 and $29 .5 million in fiscal 2013 . 
  The net increase in FFO in fiscal 2015 when compared 
with fiscal 2014 was predominantly attributable, among 
other things, to: a) the additional net operating income 
generated from properties acquired in fiscal 2014 and 
fiscal 2015, b) an overall increase in net operating income 
at properties owned in both fiscal 2014 and 2015, offset 
by c) an increase in acquisition costs of $1 .4 million in 
fiscal 2015 when compared with fiscal 2014 and d) an 
increase in interest expense of $3 .2 million as a result of the 
Company’s secured mortgage borrowings increasing when 
we assumed the mortgage encumbering two properties 
we acquired in fiscal 2014 and when the Company placed 

a new $62 .7 million combined mortgage on the four 
properties it acquired in fiscal 2015 .
  The net increase in FFO in fiscal 2014 when compared 
with fiscal 2013 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 $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 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 .

This increase was a result of an increase in the percentage 
of the portfolio that is leased, which allows the Company 
to bill and collect a higher percentage of operating costs 
from its tenants and an actual increase in operating costs 
incurred in properties held in both periods . This operating 
expense increase was predominantly the result of an 
increase in snow removal costs and parking lot repairs .

Expenses
  Property operating expenses for properties held in both 
periods increased for the year ended October 31, 2015, 
when compared with fiscal 2014, by $682,000 as a result of 
an increase in expenses relating to snow removal costs and 
parking lot repairs . 

 Real estate taxes for properties held in both periods 
were relatively unchanged for the year ended October 31, 
2015 when compared with fiscal 2014 as a result of normal 
property tax assessment increases at a majority of the 
properties held in both periods, offset by a reduction in tax 
expense at the Company’s Westchester Pavilion property 
caused by a property tax assessment reduction .
  Depreciation and amortization for properties held in 
both fiscal 2015 and 2014 increased as a result of tenant 
improvements being completed at several properties that had 
significant leasing activity in the end of fiscal 2014 and 2015 . 

 General and administrative expense increased in the year 
ended October 31, 2015 when compared with fiscal 2014 by 
$560,000 as a result of increased compensation expense for 
additional staffing at the Company over the last quarter of 
fiscal 2014 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2015 .
  Interest expense for properties owned in the year 
ended October 31, 2015 when compared with fiscal 2014 
decreased by $212,000 as a result of normal amortization 
on the Company’s fixed rate mortgages and the repayment 
of a $4 .5 million mortgage in July 2015 .

Revenues:
  Base rents increased by 11 .7% to $83 .9 million in fiscal 
2015 as compared with $75 .1 million in the comparable 
period of 2014 . The increase in base rents and the changes 
in other income statement line items were attributable to:

Property Acquisitions/Sales:
  In fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, the Company purchased 
equity interests in 14 properties totaling approximately 
906,000 square feet of GLA and sold three properties 
totaling 569,000 square feet of GLA, whose operating 
results are included in continuing operations . These 
properties accounted for all of the revenue and expense 
changes attributable to property acquisitions and sales in 
the years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 . The Company 
also sold three properties in fiscal 2014 that are included 
in discontinued operations . The revenue and expense 
changes for these two properties are not included in the 
above variance analysis .

Properties Held in Both Periods:

Revenues
  Base rents decreased during the year ended October 31, 
2015 by $224,000 when compared with the corresponding 
prior period primarily as a result of the loss of rent caused 
by the departure of two large tenants in the Company’s 
Westchester Pavilion property after January 31, 2015 . The 
Company is in the process of selling this property and in 
order to accomplish this we had to vacate the remaining 
tenants from the property . The negative base rent variance 
for Westchester Pavilion for the year ended October 31, 
2015 when compared with fiscal 2014 was $2 .0 million . 
This decrease was mostly offset by an increase in base rents 
billed to tenants as our leased rate increased from the year 
ended 2014 to the year ended 2015 .
  In fiscal 2015, the Company leased or renewed 507,000 
square feet (or approximately 12 .9% of total consolidated 
property leasable area) . At October 31, 2015, the 
Company’s consolidated properties were approximately 
95 .8% leased (excluding the Westchester Pavilion), an 
increase of 1 .00% from the end of fiscal 2014 . Overall 
property occupancy increased to 95 .0% at October 31,  
2015, up from 94 .2% at the end of fiscal 2014 . 

 For the year ended October 31, 2015, recoveries from 

tenants for properties owned in both periods (which 
represents reimbursements from tenants for operating 
expenses and property taxes) increased by a net $868,000 .

Note 1— Properties held in both periods includes only properties owned for the entire periods of 2014 and 2013 . All other properties are included in the

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 471,000 square feet of 
GLA . The Company also sold two properties in fiscal 2014 
that are included in continuing operations . These properties 
accounted for all of the revenue and expense changes 
attributable to property acquisitions/sales in the years 
ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 . In addition, the Company 
purchased a 50% equity interest in two other properties 
that it accounts for under the equity method of accounting . 
These two properties are not included in any of the variance 
analysis presented above . 

Properties Held in Both Periods:
  The net 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 properties were approximately 94 .8% 
leased, an increase of 1 .54% from the end of fiscal 2013 . The 
above percentages exclude the Company’s Westchester 
Pavilion 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 .

Lease Rollovers
  For the fiscal year 2015, we signed leases for a total of 
507,000 square feet of retail space in our consolidated 
portfolio . New leases for vacant spaces were signed for 
188,000 square feet at an average rental decrease of 0 .26% 
on a cash basis, excluding 24,000 square feet of new 

leases for which there was no prior rent history available . 
Renewals for 295,000 square feet of space previously 
occupied were signed at an average rental increase of 
5 .14% on a cash basis .
  Tenant improvements averaged $47 .63 per square foot 
for new leases and $3 .83 per square foot for renewals for 
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 . The average term 
for new leases was 6 .6 years and the average term for 
renewal leases was four 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 2015 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 2016, we believe our leasing volume will be in-line 
with our historical averages with overall positive increases 
in rental income for renewal leases and flat to slightly 
positive increases for new 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 .

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 . 

Property Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
  In September 2014, the Company sold, for $31 million 
its property located in Springfield, MA, as that property 
no longer met the Company’s investment objectives . In 
conjunction with the sale, the Company realized a gain 
on sale of property in the amount of $24 .3 million, which 
is included in continuing operations in the consolidated 
statement of income for the year ended October 31, 2014 . 
The revenue and expenses of this property are included 
in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of 
income for the year ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 . 
  In August 2015, the Company sold for $44 .5 million its 
property located in Meriden, CT, as that property no longer 
met the Company’s investment objectives . In conjunction 
with the sale, the Company realized a gain on sale of 
property in the amount of $20 .0 million, which is included 
in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of 
income for the year ended October 31, 2015 . The revenue 
and expenses of this property are included in continuing 
operations in the consolidated statement of income for  
the years ended October 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 . 
  The combined operating results of the Springfield  
property and the Meriden property, which are included  
in the continuing operations, were as follows (amounts  
in thousands):

  In December 2013 (fiscal 2014), prior to the adoption 
of ASU 2014-08 that changed the criteria for reporting 
discontinued operations, 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 (prior to the accounting change) the 
operating results of the distribution service facilities are 
shown as discontinued operations on the consolidated 
statements of income for the fiscal years ended October 31, 
2014 and 2013 . 
  The combined operating results for the distribution 
service facilities have been reclassified as discontinued 
operations in the accompanying consolidated statements

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 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,  
2015 . 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, 2015 . 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 .

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, 2015, 
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, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 
issued by COSO (2013 Framework) .

for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2015 and our report dated January 12, 2016 expressed  
an unqualified opinion thereon .

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES  
ABOUT MARKET RISK

  The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities . There is inherent rollover  
risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates . The extent of this risk is not quantifiable  
or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and the Company’s future financing requirements .
  The following table sets forth the Company’s long-term debt obligations by principal cash payments and maturity 
dates, weighted average fixed interest rates and estimated fair value at October 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands,  
except weighted average interest rate):

  At October 31, 2015, the Company had $22 .75 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 
$227,500 annually .
  The Company believes that its weighted average fixed interest rate of 4 .6% on its debt is not materially different from 
current market interest rates for debt instruments with similar risks and maturities .
  The Company may enter into certain types of derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk . 
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements, for example, to convert some of our variable rate debt to a fixed-rate 
basis . As of October 31, 2015, the Company has five open derivative financial instruments . These interest rate swaps  
are cross collateralized with three mortgages on properties in Rye, NY, one property in Ossining, NY and a property  
in Yonkers, NY . The Rye swaps expire in October 2019 and the Ossining and Yonkers swaps expire in October 2024,  
all concurrent with the maturity of the respective mortgages .
