This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 15, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on January 22, 2008, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by and on behalf of (i) ROCA Real Estate Securities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ROCA Real Estate Fund”), (ii) ROCA Advisors, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the sole general partner of ROCA Real Estate Fund (“ROCA Advisors-LP”), and (iii) ROCA Advisors-GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the sole general partner of ROCA Advisors-LP (“ROCA Advisors-GP”). ROCA Real Estate Fund, ROCA Advisors-LP and ROCA Advisors-GP are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons” and each of the Reporting Persons is sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Reporting Person.”

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment relates to the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of One Liberty Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”), and is filed to reflect information required by Rule 13d-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 60 Cutter Mill Road, Great Neck, New York 11021.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

ROCA Real Estate Fund acquired the Shares reported herein with a view towards making a profit on its investment. In light of this investment objective, the Reporting Persons intend to consider appropriate methods of maximizing the value of the Shares.

Consistent with the investment intent, the Reporting Persons have (as described below) and may continue to (a) engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations, its capital structure, a potential sale or merger of the Issuer and/or other strategic alternatives; and (b) advocate one or more courses of action. Additionally, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Shares or dispose of any or all of their Shares depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements and/or other investment considerations.

On June 6, 2008, ROCA Real Estate Fund submitted to the Issuer’s Chairman a letter, filed as Exhibit 3 hereto, discussing a meeting Ray Wirta, a limited partner of ROCA Real Estate Fund and managing member of ROCA Advisors-GP, LLC, had with the Issuer’s Chairman on April 1, 2008. The letter included a discussion of a number of what ROCA Real Estate Fund perceives to be significant issues concerning the Issuer’s business strategy and management.

In connection with the foregoing, and as may be appropriate from time to time depending on the course of discussions with the Issuer or other actions taken by the Issuer, the Reporting Persons will consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of action with respect to the investment, provided, however, that the Reporting Persons do not currently intend to engage in a control transaction or any contested solicitation for the election of directors of the Issuer.

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to each Reporting Person’s knowledge, any person named on Schedule I, has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(b) ROCA Real Estate Fund beneficially owns 587,235 Shares, constituting approximately 5.74% of the Shares outstanding. The aggregate percentage of shares beneficially owned by ROCA Real Estate Fund is based on 10,225,479 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 2, 2008, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2008.

ROCA Real Estate Fund has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, or to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Shares. However, by virtue of being the general partner of ROCA Real Estate Fund, ROCA Advisors-LP may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by ROCA Real Estate Fund and to have sole power over the voting and disposition of such Shares as a result of its having the sole power to make voting and disposition decisions on behalf of ROCA Real Estate Fund. In addition, by virtue of being the general partner of ROCA Advisors-LP, ROCA Advisors-GP may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by ROCA Real Estate Fund and to have sole power over the voting and disposition of such Shares as a result of its having the sole power to make voting and disposition decisions on behalf of ROCA Advisors-LP.

Except as set forth in this Item 5, neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to each of the Reporting Person’s best knowledge, any person named on Schedule I beneficially owns any Shares.

(c) Except for the open market purchases of Shares by ROCA Real Estate Fund set forth on Schedule II attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, there have been no transactions with respect to the Shares during the past sixty (60) days by the Reporting Persons or, to either Reporting Person’s knowledge, any of the persons named on Schedule I.

(d) Except as set forth in this Item 5, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of each Reporting Person’s knowledge, any person named on Schedule I has the right to receive or power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

(e) Not applicable.
