PART I

(In this Part I disclosure, all amounts are presented in thousands, except per share data and square footage amounts)


Item 1.  Business


General


Inland Real Estate Corporation, a Maryland corporation, was formed on May 12, 1994.  We, collectively with our consolidated entities, are a publicly held real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, operates and develops (directly or through its unconsolidated entities) retail shopping centers.  As of December 31, 2006, we owned interests in 146 investment properties, including those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures, comprised of:

·

Ninety-one  neighborhood retail centers totaling approximately 6,156,000 gross leasable square feet;

·

Twenty-eight community centers totaling approximately 6,643,000 gross leasable square feet;

·

Twenty-seven single-user retail properties totaling approximately 1,321,000 gross leasable square feet.


We qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995.  So long as we qualify for treatment as a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal income tax to the extent we meet the requirements of the tests imposed by the Code.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.


Our business is not seasonal.  We compete on the basis of rental rates, operating expenses and location with similar types of properties located in the vicinity of our investment properties.  In addition, our tenants compete against other forms of retailing such as catalog companies and e-commerce websites that offer similar retail products.  We do not own any real property investments located outside of the United States.  We compete with numerous other properties in attracting tenants.  Additionally, we compete with other REITs and real estate operating companies when seeking to acquire new investment properties.  There are several factors that could limit our ability to acquire additional investment properties.  We assess and measure operating results on an individual property basis.  Since all of our investment properties exhibit highly similar economic characteristics, generally have tenants that offer products catering to the day-to-day living needs of individuals, and offer similar degrees of risk and opportunities for growth, the shopping centers have been aggregated and reported as one operating segment.  See footnote 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion on our segment reporting.  As of December 31, 2006, we employed a total of eighty-two people, none of whom are represented by a union.


During the year ended December 31, 2006, we acquired eight investment properties and purchased vacant land through our development joint ventures.  Additionally, we sold four investment properties and some vacant land through one of our joint ventures.  We intend to continue to acquire new investment properties of the type previously described in this Item 1, utilizing our cash resources as well as acquisition indebtedness.  We also anticipate additional growth through our joint venture activity.


Conflicts of Interest Policies


Our governing documents require a majority of our directors to be "independent," as defined by the New York Stock Exchange.  Further, any transactions between The Inland Group, Inc. or its affiliates, and us must be approved by a majority of our independent directors.  Two of our directors, Messrs. Goodwin and Parks, are directors of The Inland Group, Inc.

Environmental Matters


We review and monitor compliance with federal, state and local provisions, which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of material into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, we did not incur any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities nor do we anticipate incurring material amounts during the year ending December 31, 2007.


We believe that all of our investment properties comply in all material respects with all federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances.  The environmental condition of our investment properties may be adversely affected by our tenants, by conditions of near-by properties or by unrelated third parties.  All of our investment properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits at the time they were acquired.  These audits, performed by independent consultants, generally involve a review of records and visual inspection of the property.  These audits do not include soil sampling or ground water analysis.  These audits have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our operations.  These audits may not, however, reveal all potential environmental liabilities.  Additionally, on an annual basis, we engage third party environmental specialists to complete site inspections on certain investment properties, namely those occupied by dry cleaners, oil change facilities and print shops, to ensure that the environmental condition of the respective property has not changed.


Access to Company Information


We make available, free of charge, through our website, and by responding to requests addressed to our director of investor relations, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports.  These reports are available as soon as reasonably practical after such material is electronically filed or furnished to the SEC.  Our website address is www.inlandrealestate.com.  The information contained on our website, or on other websites linked to our website, is not part of this document.

Certifications


The Company has filed with the SEC the chief executive officer and chief financial officer certifications required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In addition, the Company has filed the certification of our chief executive officer with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for 2006 as required pursuant to Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.  Our chief executive officer certified that he was not aware of any violation by the Company of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards as of the date of the certification.  


Item 1A.  Risk Factors


Set forth below are the risk factors that we believe are material to our investors.  This section contains forward-looking statements.  You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements on page 34.


Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with our real estate assets and with the real estate industry.  Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and consequently the value of your shares, are subject to the risk that if our properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to pay distributions to you will be adversely affected.  The following factors, among others, may adversely affect the income generated by our properties:  


·

downturns in the national, regional and local economic climate;

·

competition from other retail properties;


·

local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for retail properties;

·

changes in interest rates and availability of financing;

·

vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space;

·

increased operating costs, including, but not limited to, insurance expense, utilities, real estate taxes, state and local taxes, and heightened security costs;

·

civil disturbances, natural disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses;

·

significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from properties; and

·

declines in the financial condition of our tenants and our ability to collect rents from our tenants.

We compete with numerous other parties or entities for real estate and tenants.  We compete with numerous other persons or entities seeking to buy real estate assets, or to attract tenants to properties we already own, including REITs or other real estate operating companies.  These person or entities may have greater experience and financial strength.  There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional real estate assets or attract tenants on favorable terms, if at all.  For example, our competitors may be willing to purchase properties at prices that result in yields below what we believe is our minimum required yield or may offer space at properties that compete with ours at rental rates below our existing rates, causing us to lose existing or potential tenants and pressuring us to reduce our rental rates to retain existing tenants or convince new tenants to lease space at our properties.  All of these factors could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.



4






We face risks associated with property acquisitions.  We have and intend to continue to acquire properties and portfolios of properties, including large properties that could increase our size and result in alterations to our capital structure.  Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:  

·

we may be unable to obtain financing for acquisitions on favorable terms or at all;

·

acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

·

the actual costs of repositioning and redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates;

·

acquired properties may be located in new markets where we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and

·

we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and thus could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial conditions.


Acquired properties may expose us to unknown liability.
 We may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities.  As a result, if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our results from operations and cash flow.  Unknown liabilities with respect to acquired properties might include:  


·

liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination;

·

claims by tenants, vendors or other persons against the former owners of the properties;

·

liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business; and

·

claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties.


Leases on approximately 5% of our rentable square feet under management expire during 2007 and 4% of rentable square footage was physically vacant as of December 31, 2006.  As leases expire, we may not be able to renew or re-lease space at rates comparable to, or better than, the rates contained in the expiring leases.  Leases on approximately 770,000 square feet, or approximately 5% of total rentable square feet of 14,120,435, will expire prior to December 31, 2007.  If we fail to renew or re-lease space at rates that are at least comparable to the rates on expiring leases, revenues at the impacted properties will decline.  Further, we may have to spend significant sums of money to renew or re-lease space covered by expiring leases.  As of December 31, 2006 approximately 575,000 square feet, or approximately 4% of total rentable square feet of 14,120,435, was physically vacant.  We continue to receive rent on approximately 440,000 square feet of the vacant space or approximately 3% of total rentable square feet from tenants who are still obligated under their lease terms.  We will continue to receive this rent until the related leases expire in nine months to sixteen years.


Tenants may fail to pay their rent, declare bankruptcy or seek to restructure their leases.
 
We derive substantially all of our revenue from leasing space at our investment properties.  Thus, our results may be negatively affected by the failure of tenants to pay rent when due.  We may experience substantial delays and expense enforcing rights against tenants who do not pay their rent or who seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws. Even if a tenant did not seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, the tenant may from time to time experience a downturn in its business which may weaken its financial condition and its ability to make rental payments when due, leading these tenants to seek revisions to their leases.



5






We may not be able to quickly vary our portfolio.  Investments in real estate are relatively illiquid.  Except in certain circumstances, in order to continue qualifying as a REIT, we are subject to rules and regulations that limit the ability to sell investment properties within a short period of time.


Some potential losses are not covered by insurance.  We carry insurance coverage on our properties of types and in amounts that we believe are in line with coverage customarily obtained by owners of similar properties.  In response to the uncertainty in the insurance market following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act was enacted in November 2002 to require regulated insurers to make available coverage for certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the statute) through December 31, 2006.  The Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act was extended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2007.  In connection with the renewal of coverage for the policy year which began October 1, 2006, we evaluated coverage on terms and amounts comparable to the expiring policies, subject to cost and market availability.  Our primary liability insurance policy limits are $1,000 per occurrence with a $2,000 aggregate.  Our umbrella liability insurance policy limits total $50,000, with a $10 self insured retention.  This policy excludes nuclear, biological and chemical terrorism other than certified acts of terrorism.  The liability policies include certified acts of terrorism.  Our property insurance policy is an all risk, replacement cost policy which also includes certified acts of terrorism.


We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market in general, and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism in particular, but we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.  There are other types of losses, such as from wars, acts of nuclear, biological or chemical terrorism or the presence of mold at our properties, for which we cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost.  With respect to these losses and losses from acts of terrorism, earthquakes or other catastrophic events, if we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties, as well as the anticipated future revenues from those properties.  Depending on the specific circumstances of each affected property, it is possible that we could be liable for mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property.  Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.  Under federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be required to investigate and clean up the effects of releases of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our properties simply because of our current or past ownership or operation of our real estate.  If unidentified environmental problems arise, we may have to make substantial payments which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders because:


·

as owner or operator we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs incurred in connection with the contamination;

·

the law typically imposes clean up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination;

·

even if more than one person may be responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean up costs; and

·

governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs.

These costs could be substantial and in extreme cases could exceed the value of the contaminated property.  The presence of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products or the failure to properly remediate contamination may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property.  



6






In addition, applicable environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination.  Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing at our properties, or increasing the restrictions on the handling, storage or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products or other actions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures.


Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos.  These laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos:

·

properly manage and maintain the asbestos;

·

notify and train those who may come into contact with asbestos; and

·

undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building.

These laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.


Some of our properties are located in urban, industrial and previously developed areas where fill or current or historic industrial uses of the areas have caused site contamination.  It is our policy to retain independent environmental consultants to conduct Phase I environmental site assessments and asbestos surveys for each property we seek to acquire.  These assessments generally include a visual inspection of the properties and the surrounding areas, an examination of current and historical uses of the properties and the surrounding areas and a review of relevant state, federal and historical documents, but do not involve invasive techniques such as soil and ground water sampling.  Where appropriate, on a property-by-property basis, our practice is to have these consultants conduct additional testing, including sampling for asbestos, for lead in drinking water, for soil contamination where underground storage tanks are or were located or where other past site usage create a potential environmental problem, and for contamination in groundwater.  Even though these environmental assessments are conducted, there is still the risk that:


·

the environmental assessments and updates did not identify all potential environmental liabilities;

·

a prior owner created a material environmental condition that is not known to us or the independent consultants preparing the assessments;

·

new environmental liabilities have developed since the environmental assessments were conducted; and

·

future uses or conditions such as changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations could result in environmental liability for us.

Inquiries about indoor air quality may necessitate special investigation and, depending on the results, remediation beyond our regular indoor air quality testing and maintenance programs.  Indoor air quality issues can stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants from indoor or outdoor sources, and biological contaminants such as molds, pollen, viruses and bacteria.  Indoor exposure to chemical or biological contaminants above certain levels can be alleged to be connected to allergic reactions or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals.  If these conditions were to occur at one of our properties, we may need to undertake a targeted remediation program, including without limitation, steps to increase indoor ventilation rates and eliminate sources of contaminants.  These remediation programs could be costly, necessitate the temporary relocation of some or all of the property's tenants or require rehabilitation of the affected property.



7






Our objectives may conflict with those of our joint venture partners.  We own certain of our investment properties, through joint ventures with third parties.  In some cases, we control the joint venture and in some cases we are a minority partner.  Investments in joint ventures involve risks that are not otherwise present with properties which we own entirely.  For example, a joint venture partner may file for bankruptcy protection or may have economic or business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our goals or interests.  Further, although we may own a controlling interest in a joint venture and may have authority over major decisions such as the sale or refinancing of investment properties, we may have fiduciary duties to the joint venture partners or the joint venture itself that may cause, or require, us to take or refrain from taking actions that we would otherwise take if we owned the investment properties outright.


Compliance or failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or other safety regulations and requirements could result in substantial costs.
 The Americans with Disabilities Act generally requires that public buildings, including shopping centers, be made accessible to disabled persons.  Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages to private litigants.  If, pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, we are required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of our properties, including the removal of access barriers, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the amount of cash available for distributions to you.


Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements.  If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards.  We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures that will affect our cash flow, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to you.


We often need to borrow money to finance our business.
 Our ability to internally fund operating or capital needs is limited since we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to stockholders to qualify as a REIT.  Consequently, we may have to borrow money to fund operating or capital needs or to satisfy the distribution requirements, imposed by the Code, to maintain status as a REIT.  Borrowing money to fund operating or capital needs exposes us to various risks.  For example, the investment properties may not generate enough cash to pay the principal and interest obligations on loans or we may violate a loan covenant that results in the lender accelerating the maturity date of a loan.  As of December 31, 2006, we owed a total of approximately $830,280, secured by mortgages on our investment properties, our unsecured line of credit with KeyBank and the convertible notes issued in 2006.  If we fail to make timely payments on loans, including those cases where a lender has accelerated the maturity date due to a violation of a loan covenant, the lenders could foreclose on the investment properties securing the loan and we could lose our entire investment on any foreclosed properties.  Once a loan becomes due, we must either pay the remaining balance or borrow additional money to pay off the maturing loan.  We may not, however, be able to obtain a new loan, or the terms of the new loan, such as the interest rate or payment schedule, may not be as favorable as the terms of the maturing loan.  Thus, we may be forced to sell a property at an unfavorable price to pay off the maturing loan or agree to less favorable loan terms.  In addition, we have limited availability under our KeyBank line of credit which may reduce our ability to borrow funds.  A total of approximately $76,343 and $132,936 of our indebtedness matures on or before December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  As of December 31, 2006, we owed approximately $95,873 on indebtedness that bore interest at variable rates.  We may borrow additional amounts that bear interest at variable rates.  If interest rates increase, the amount of interest that we would be required to pay on these borrowings will also increase.





8






Covenants in our debt agreements could adversely affect our financial condition.  The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage.  Our unsecured line of credit contains customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt, which we must maintain.  Our continued ability to borrow under our line of credit is subject to compliance with our financial and other covenants.  In addition, our failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt agreement, and we may then be required to repay this debt with capital from other sources.  Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms.  Additionally, in the future our ability to satisfy current or prospective lenders' insurance requirements may be adversely affected if lenders generally insist upon greater insurance coverage against acts of terrorism than is available to us in the marketplace or on commercially reasonable terms.


We rely on debt financing, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit and debt secured by individual properties, to finance our acquisition activities and for working capital.  If we are unable to obtain debt financing from these or other sources, or to refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to you would likely be adversely affected. If we breach covenants in our debt agreements, the lenders can declare a default and, if the debt is secured, can take possession of the property securing the defaulted loan.  Defaults under our debt agreements could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to you.


Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our common stock.
 As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $830,280 in total indebtedness outstanding on a consolidated basis (excluding unconsolidated joint venture debt.)  Debt to market capitalization ratio, which measures total debt as a percentage of the aggregate of total debt plus the market value of outstanding equity securities is often used by analysts to gauge leverage for REITs such as us.  Since the listing of our shares on the New York Stock Exchange, our market value is calculated using the price per share of our common stock.  Our debt to total market capitalization ratio was approximately 44.7% as of December 31, 2006.  Our degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes.  Our degree of leverage could also make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.  In addition, a greater amount of debt relative to our peer group could have a negative effect on our stock price.  


Further issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to current stockholders.  The interests of our existing stockholders could be diluted if additional equity securities are issued to finance future acquisitions or to repay indebtedness.  Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt and equity financing, including common and preferred equity.


We may fail to qualify as a REIT.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed to deduct amounts distributed to our stockholders in computing taxable income and would incur substantially greater expenses for taxes and have less money available to distribute.  We would also be subject to federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates as well as potentially the alternative minimum tax.  Unless we satisfied some exception, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during in which we were disqualified.


We may fail to qualify as a REIT if, among other things:

·

less than 75% of the value of our total assets consists of cash and cash items (including receivables), real estate assets (including mortgages and interests in mortgages) and government securities at the close of each fiscal quarter;

·

any one security owned represents more than 5% of the value of our total assets; however, up to 20% of the value of our total assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries;



9






·

we own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the value of the outstanding securities of a single issuer other than securities in a taxable REIT subsidiary;

·

less than 75% of our gross income (excluding income from prohibited transactions) is derived from real estate sources.  These sources include mortgage interest, rents from real property, amounts received as consideration to enter into real estate leases or to make a loan secured by a mortgage and gains from the sale of real estate assets; or

we fail to distribute at least 90% of "REIT taxable income," which does not include the deduction for distributions paid and net capital gains, to stockholders.


In order to maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions.  In order to maintain our REIT status, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the real estate investment trust distribution requirements, even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings.  To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income," which does not include the deduction for distributions paid and net capital gains, each year.  In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.  We may need short-term debt or long-term debt, proceeds from asset sales, creation of joint ventures or sale of common stock to fund required distributions as a result of differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and the recognition of income for federal income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments.


Changes in market conditions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 Since the listing of our shares on the New York Stock Exchange, the value of our shares, like other publicly traded equity securities, depends on various market conditions that may change from time to time.  Among the market conditions that could affect the value of our common stock are the following:

·

the extent of investor interest in our securities;

·

the general reputation of real estate investment trusts and the attractiveness of our equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate based companies;

·

material economic concerns;

·

changes in tax laws;

·

our financial performance; and

·

general stock and bond market conditions.

The market value of our common stock is based primarily upon the market's perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions.  Consequently, our common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per share of common stock.  If our future earnings or cash distributions are less than expected, it is likely that the market price of our common stock will diminish.


We face possible adverse changes in tax laws.  From time to time, changes in state and local tax laws or regulations are enacted, which may result in an increase in our tax liability.  The shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in recent years may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of these changes.  If these changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income and may be assessed interest and penalties on such additional taxes.  These increased tax costs could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and the amount of cash available to pay distributions to you.





10






Property taxes may increase.  We are required to pay taxes based on the assessed value of our investment properties determined by various taxing authorities such as state or local governments.  These taxing authorities may increase the tax rate imposed on a property or may reassess property value, either of which would increase the amount of taxes due on that property.


Third parties may be discouraged from making acquisition or other proposals that may be in
stockholders' best interests.  Under our governing documents, no single person or group of persons (an entity is considered a person) may own more than 9.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock (unless permitted by the board).  Although the board may waive the application of these provisions to certain persons, they are not obligated to do so.  These provisions may prevent or discourage a third party from making a tender offer or other business combination proposal such as a merger, even if such a proposal would be in the best interest of the stockholders.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments


We have no outstanding unresolved comments from the Commission staff regarding our periodic or current reports.

Item 2.  Properties


As of December 31, 2006, we owned 130 investment properties, excluding those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures, comprised of 27 single-user retail properties, 83 Neighborhood Retail Centers and 20 Community Centers.  These investment properties are located in the States of Florida (1), Illinois (82), Indiana (6), Michigan (1), Minnesota (27), Missouri (1), Nebraska (1), Ohio (3), Tennessee (1) and Wisconsin (7).  Tenants of the investment properties are responsible for the payment of some or all of the real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance.

(a)

Anchor tenants are defined as any tenant occupying 10,000 or more square feet.  We use the tenant's trade name, which may
be different than the legal entity named on the lease.

  

(b)

We continue to receive rent from tenants who have vacated but are still obligated under their lease terms.  These tenants
continue to pay an amount equal to the contractual obligations under their lease.

(a)

We receive rent from tenants who have vacated but are still obligated under their lease terms, which results in economic occupancy ranging from 66% to 100% at December 31, 2006, for each of these centers.

  

(b)

In connection with the purchase of several investment properties, we, from time to time, receive payments under master lease agreements covering space vacant at the time of acquisition.  The payments will be made to us for a period ranging from one to two years from the date of acquisition of the property or until the vacant space is leased and tenants begin paying rent.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") require us to treat these payments as a reduction to the purchase price of the investment properties upon receipt of the payment, rather than as rental income.  As of December 31, 2006, we had three investment properties, Wauconda Crossing, located in Wauconda, Illinois, Orland Park Place I & II, located in Orland Park, Illinois and Greentree Center, located in Caledonia, Wisconsin subject to master lease agreements.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings


We are subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of business.  Although the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of any such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Distributions


For federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary income distributions, non-taxable return of capital, capital gains or a combination thereof.  Distributions to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes are taxable to the recipient as either ordinary or capital gain distributions. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits (calculated for tax purposes) will constitute a non-taxable return of capital rather than a distribution and will reduce the recipient's basis in the shares to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain.  Distributions in excess of earnings and profits have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the distribution until the sale of the stockholder's shares.  





31






In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income," to our stockholders.  REIT taxable income is defined as taxable income excluding the deduction for distributions paid and net capital gains.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, our "REIT taxable income" was $54,864 and $60,920, respectively.  We declared monthly cash distributions to stockholders totaling $64,491 and $64,212 or $0.96 and $0.95 on an annual basis per share for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Future distributions are determined by our board of directors.  We expect to continue paying monthly cash distributions to maintain our status as a REIT.  We annually notify our stockholders of the taxability of distributions paid during the proceeding year.  The following table sets forth the taxability of distributions, on a per share basis, paid in 2006 and 2005:

Item 7.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation


Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical, including statements regarding management's intentions, beliefs, expectations, representations, plans or predictions of the future and are typically identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "may," "will," "should" and "could."  The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those set forth in the forward looking statements including, without limitation, limitations on the area in which we may acquire properties; risks associated with borrowings secured by our properties; competition for tenants and customers; federal, state or local regulations; adverse changes in general economic or local conditions; competition for property acquisitions with third parties that have greater financial resources than we do; inability of lessees to meet financial obligations; uninsured losses and risks of failing to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT").  


Data in this section is presented in thousands, except per share data and square footage data.


This section provides the following:

·

an executive summary and our strategies and objectives;

·

the critical accounting policies that impact the treatment, for financial statement purposes, of certain items such as how we value our investment properties, recognize rental income and depreciate our assets;

·

a discussion of our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows and how the changes in balance sheet and cash flow items from year to year impact our liquidity and capital resources;

·

a discussion of our results of operations, including changes in funds from operations ("FFO") from year to year and a discussion of the impact that inflation may have on our results; and

·

a discussion of the important factors that may impact your investment.


We have qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995.  So long as we qualify for treatment as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we meet the requirements of the tests imposed by the Code.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.


Additionally, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, which became effective January 1, 2001, we are permitted to participate in certain activities that were previously prohibited in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") under the Code, subject to certain limitations.  As such, the TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.


Executive Summary


We are an owner/operator of Neighborhood Retail Centers (gross leasable areas ranging from 5,000 to 150,000 square feet) and Community Centers (gross leasable areas in excess of 150,000 square feet).  We are a self-administered REIT incorporated under Maryland law.  We also may construct or develop properties or render services in connection with such development or construction.  As of December 31, 2006, we owned interests in 146 investment properties, including those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures.



34






Essentially all of our revenues and cash flows are generated by collecting rental payments from our tenants.  Our goal is to continue increasing our revenues by acquiring additional investment properties and re-leasing those spaces that are vacant, or may become vacant, at more favorable rental rates.  We believe we have significant acquisition opportunities due to our reputation and our concentration of properties in the Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan areas.  We will use cash provided by our Dividend Reinvestment Plan, proceeds from financings on previously unencumbered properties, draws on our line of credit and earnings we retain that are not distributed to our stockholders to continue purchasing additional investment properties.


Our largest expenses relate to the operation of our properties, depreciation and amortization and interest expense on our mortgages payable, line of credit and convertible notes.  Our property operating expenses include, but are not limited to, real estate taxes, regular maintenance, landscaping, snow removal and periodic renovations to meet tenant needs.  Pursuant to the lease agreements, tenants of the property are required to reimburse the Company for some or all of the particular tenant's pro rata share of the real estate taxes and operating expenses of the property.


We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT.  FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to that of other REITs.  Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as ours.  As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.  We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.  Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons.  We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group.  Additionally, FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives payable by us to certain executives, based on our performance.  The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity.  Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO.  Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs.  FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.


We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance.  EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from continuing operations, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization.   By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure.  By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the performance of our portfolio.  Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it does not reflect the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor does it reflect trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing.  EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.


We look at several factors to measure our operating performance:


To measure our operating results to those of other retail real estate owners/operators in our area, we compare:


·

occupancy percentage; and


·

our rental rates to the average rents charged by our competitors in similar centers.




35






To measure our operating results to those of other REITs, we compare:


·

company-wide growth in income or FFO;


·

same store growth in income; and


·

general and administrative expenses as a percentage of investment in properties.


Based on the above measures, we have historically performed comparably with those in our property sector peer group.


There are costs and issues associated with re-leasing our properties, including:


·

length of time required to fill vacancies;


·

possibly re-leasing at rental rates lower than current market rates;


·

leasing costs associated with the new lease such as leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances; and


·

paying operating expenses without tenant reimbursements.


Strategies and Objectives


Our primary business objective is to enhance the performance and value of our investment properties through management strategies that address the needs of an evolving retail marketplace.  Our commitment to operating our centers efficiently and effectively is, we believe, a direct result of our expertise in the acquisition, development/re-development, either directly or through a joint venture, management and leasing of our properties.  We focus on the following areas in order to achieve our objectives:


Acquisitions:


·

We seek to selectively acquire well-located open air retail centers.


·

We acquire properties either without financing contingencies or by assuming existing debt to provide us with a competitive advantage over other potential purchasers.


·

We concentrate our property acquisitions in areas where we have a large market concentration.  In doing this, we believe we are able to attract new retailers to the area and possibly lease several locations to them.  Additionally, we are able to get existing retailers to lease more space at our current investment properties.


Joint Ventures:


·

We actively pursue new development opportunities through joint ventures with established local developers.


·

We have formed joint ventures to acquire stabilized retail properties as well as properties to be re-developed and vacant land to be developed.  We earn fees from the joint ventures for providing property management, acquisition and leasing services.


·

We have formed a joint venture to acquire properties to offer tenant-in-common interests in properties to investors.  We earn fees from the joint venture for providing property management, acquisition and leasing services as well as syndication fees.




36






Operations:


·

We actively manage costs to minimize operating expenses by centralizing all management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting and data processing activities.


·

We improve rental income and cash flow by aggressively marketing rentable space.


·

We emphasize regular maintenance and periodic renovation to meet the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term returns.


·

We maintain a diversified tenant base consisting primarily of retail tenants providing consumer goods and services.


·

We proactively review our existing portfolio for potential re-development opportunities.


Acquisitions and Dispositions


During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we completed the following acquisitions and dispositions:


Acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2006:


·

Eight investment properties, totaling approximately 1,351,000 square feet, for approximately $266,300 in the aggregate;


·

56 acres of vacant land through our joint venture with TMK Development, Ltd. For approximately $8,400;


·

Vacant parcel of land at Shakopee Valley Marketplace for approximately $848; and


·

57 acres of vacant land through our joint ventures with North American Real Estate, Inc. for approximately $27,200.


Dispositions during the year ended December 31, 2006:


·

15 acres of vacant land through our joint venture with TMK Development Ltd; and


·

Four investment properties.


Total proceeds from these sales were approximately $27,901.


Acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2005:


·

Six investment properties, totaling approximately 1,036,000 square feet for approximately $143,821.


Dispositions during the year ended December 31, 2005:


·

Three investment properties;


·

Partial sale of approximately 70,000 square feet at certain investment properties;


·

One acre of vacant land at an existing investment property; and


·

Six investment properties contributed to our joint ventures with NYSTRS and Tucker Development Corporation.


Total proceeds from these sales were approximately $69,134.





37






The acquisition price per square foot is higher in 2006 than it was in 2005.  We believe that this does not reflect a market trend, but reflects solely the acquisition of Algonquin Commons, a lifestyle center, that was purchased for approximately $275 per square foot.  This price is significantly higher than the amount per square foot that we typically pay for other centers, but is in line with the average price for lifestyle centers, based on comparable property sales.


Critical Accounting Policies


General


A critical accounting policy is one that, we believe, would materially affect our operating results or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances.  We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to how we value our investment properties and determine whether assets are held for sale, recognize rental income and lease termination income, our cost capitalization and depreciation policies and consolidation/equity accounting policies.  These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  U.S. GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates.  The following disclosure discusses judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties that were taken into consideration upon the application of critical accounting policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.


Valuation and Allocation of Investment Properties.
 On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, we review impairment indicators and, if necessary, conduct an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each investment property does not exceed its estimated fair value.  We evaluate our investment properties to assess whether any impairment indicators are present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate.  If an investment property is considered impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.  No such losses have been required or recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.


In determining the value of an investment property and whether the property is impaired, management considers several factors, such as projected rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures and interest rates.  The capitalization rate used to determine property valuation is based on the market in which the property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age, physical condition and investor return requirements among others.  Market capitalization rates fluctuate based on factors such as interest rates.  An increase in capitalization rates might result in a market valuation lower than our original purchase price.  Additionally, we obtain an appraisal prepared by a third party at the time we purchase the investment property.  All of the aforementioned factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular property.  The value of any particular property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Should the actual results differ from management's judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.


We allocate the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, other intangibles (including acquired above market leases, acquired below market leases, customer relationships and acquired in-place leases) and any financing assumed that is determined to be above or below market terms.  The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.  The value allocated to land as opposed to building affects the amount of depreciation expense we record.  If more value is attributed to land, depreciation expense is lower than if more value is attributed to building and improvements.  We use the information contained in the third party appraisals as the primary basis for allocating the purchase price between land, building and improvements.  We determine whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.





38






The aggregate value of other intangibles is measured based on the difference between the purchase price and the property valued as if vacant.  We utilize information contained in independent appraisals and management's estimates to determine the respective as if vacant property values.  Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as if vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases and the risk adjusted cost of capital.  In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, up to 24 months.  Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses.  


We allocate the difference between the purchase price of the property and the as if vacant value first to acquired above and below market leases.  We evaluate each acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and consider various factors including geographic location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market.  After an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to the acquired above or below market lease based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate.  The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon a rate for each individual lease and primarily based upon the credit worthiness of each individual tenant.  The value of the acquired above and below market leases is amortized over the life of the related leases as an adjustment to rental income.  


We then allocate the remaining difference to the value of acquired in-place leases and customer relationships based on management's evaluation of specific leases and our overall relationship with the respective tenants.  The evaluation of acquired in-place leases consists of a variety of components including the costs avoided associated with originating the acquired in-place lease, including but not limited to, leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and legal costs.  We also consider the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs and rental income estimated to be incurred during the assumed re-leasing period.  The value of the acquired in-place lease is amortized over the average lease term as a component of amortization expense.  We also consider whether any customer relationship value exists related to the property acquisition.  As of December 31, 2006, we had not allocated any amounts to customer relationships.


The valuation and possible subsequent impairment in the value of our investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's continuous process of analyzing each property.


Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies.  We review all expenditures and capitalize any item that is deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement.  If we capitalize more expenditures, current depreciation expense would be higher; however, total current expenses would be lower.  Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements, 15 years for site improvements and the remaining life of the related lease for tenant improvements.  


Assets Held for Sale.  In determining whether to classify an asset as held for sale, we consider whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the asset; (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) we have initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) we believe that the sale of the asset is probable; (v) we have received a significant non-refundable deposit for the purchase of the property; (vi) we are actively marketing the asset for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value; and (vii) actions required for us to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan.


If all of the above criteria are met, we classify the asset as held for sale.  On the day that these criteria are met, we suspend depreciation on the assets held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationship values.  The assets and liabilities associated with those assets that are held for sale are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period.  Additionally, the operations for the periods presented are classified on the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Recognition of Rental Income and Tenant Recoveries.  Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to recognize rental income based on the effective monthly rent for each lease.  The effective monthly rent is equal to the average monthly rent during the term of the lease, not the stated rent for any particular month.  The process, known as "straight-lining" rent, generally has the effect of increasing rental revenues during the early phases of a lease and decreasing rental revenues in the latter phases of a lease.  If rental income calculated on a straight-line basis exceeds the cash rent due under the lease, the difference is recorded as an increase to both deferred rent receivable and rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  If the cash rent due under the lease exceeds rental income calculated on a straight-line basis, the difference is recorded as a decrease to both deferred rent receivable and rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, we defer recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage/excess rent, until the specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.  We periodically review the collectibility of outstanding receivables.  Allowances are taken for those balances that we deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.


Tenant recoveries are primarily comprised of real estate tax and common area maintenance reimbursement income.  Real estate tax income is based on an accrual reimbursement calculation by tenant, based on an estimate of current year real estate taxes.  As actual real estate tax bills are received, we reconcile with our tenants and adjust prior year income estimates in the current period.  Common area maintenance income is accrued on actual common area maintenance expenses as incurred.  Annually, we reconcile with the tenants for their share of the expenses per their lease and we adjust prior year income estimates in the current period.


Recognition of Lease Termination Income.  We accrue lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.


Consolidation/Equity Accounting Policies.  We consolidate the operations of a joint venture if we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence and control of the entity.  The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses or residual returns, or both.  There are significant judgments and estimates involved in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or the determination of who has control and influence of the entity.  When we consolidate an entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of a variable interest entity are included in our consolidated financial statements.


In instances where we are not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or we do not control the joint venture, we use the equity method of accounting.  Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture are not consolidated with our operations but instead our share of operations is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on our consolidated statement of operations.  Additionally, our net investment in the joint venture is reflected as investment in and advances to joint venture as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


This section describes our balance sheet and discusses our liquidity and capital commitments.  Our most liquid asset is cash and cash equivalents which consists of cash and short-term investments.  Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $27,569 and $26,804, respectively.  See our discussion of the statements of cash flows for a description of our cash activity during 2006, 2005 and 2004.  We consider all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.  We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions.  The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  We believe that the risk is not significant, as we do not anticipate the financial institutions' non-performance.

Income generated from our investment properties is the primary source from which we generate cash.  The table below presents lease payments to be received in the future from properties that we owned as of December 31, 2006.  Minimum lease payments under operating leases to be received in the future, excluding rental income under master lease agreements and assuming no expiring leases are renewed are as follows:

Other sources of cash include amounts raised from the sale of securities under our Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRP"), our draws on the line of credit with KeyBank N.A., which may be limited due to covenant compliance requirements, proceeds from financings secured by our investment properties and earnings we retain that are not distributed to our stockholders.  As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $100,000 available under our $150,000 line of credit.  If necessary, such as for new acquisitions, we can generate cash flow by entering into financing arrangements or possible joint venture agreements with institutional investors.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we issued $180,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% convertible notes due in 2026.  Proceeds from the convertible notes were used to pay down our line of credit with KeyBank N.A. by $120,000 and we also repurchased 2,776 shares of our common stock at a price equal to $18.01 per share (approximately $50,000 in the aggregate).We use our cash primarily to pay distributions to our stockholders, for operating expenses at our investment properties, for purchasing additional investment properties, joint venture commitments and to repay draws on the line of credit.


Certain joint venture commitments require us to invest cash in non-operating property under development and in properties that do not necessarily meet our investment criteria but which are offered for syndication through our joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation.  Capital could be committed for periods longer than expected if development timelines are longer or syndication velocity is slower than anticipated.


As of December 31, 2006, we owned interests in 146 investment properties, including those owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures.  Of the 146 investment properties owned, twenty-five are currently unencumbered by any indebtedness.  We generally limit our secured indebtedness to approximately 50% of the original purchase price, or current market value if higher, of the investment properties in the aggregate.  These twenty-five unencumbered investment properties were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $104,902 and would therefore yield at least $52,451 in additional cash from financing, using this standard.  In the aggregate, all of our 146 investment properties are currently generating sufficient cash flow to pay our operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions equal to $0.96 per share on an annual basis.


As of December 31, 2006, the required future principal payments on our mortgages payable, including our line of credit and convertible notes over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Statements of Cash Flows


2006 Compared to 2005


Cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased $2,002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.  In 2005, the cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the receipt of a one-time lease termination fee in the amount of $6,100 from Dominick's Finer Food to terminate its lease at the Highland Park location received during the year ended December 31, 2005.  This fee is included in lease termination income on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.  This decrease in cash provided by operating activities is partially offset by cash flows from operations generated by properties acquired during 2006 and 2005, subsequent to the dates of their acquisitions and distributions received from the operations of our joint ventures.


Net cash used in investing activities increased by $75,791 as we acquired six investment properties during the year ended December 31, 2006 at a cost of $85,931, completed $25,653 in additions to our investment properties and generated $27,901 of disposition proceeds, as compared to the acquisition of six investment properties during the year ended December 31, 2005 at a cost of $82,391, additions to our investment properties totaling $17,037 and generating $69,134 of disposition proceeds.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we invested approximately $20,000 to purchase land and one investment property in our joint ventures.  Cash used in investing activities also increased due to an increase in our mortgages receivable.  The increase in mortgages receivable is due to additional draws on our receivable from Tri-Land Properties, Inc. as well as from our 25% participation in a note receivable with Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc.  Additionally, we received less cash distributions from our joint ventures and used less cash to purchase investment securities during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $32,930 during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $54,332 during the year ended December 31, 2005.  This increase in cash is due primarily to the proceeds received from the convertible notes issued during 2006.  Additionally, we used less cash to repay debt during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities was offset by the use of additional cash to repurchase shares in relation to our convertible note offering and to purchase the minority interest units in one of our joint ventures.  Additionally, we received less cash from loan proceeds during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.





42






2005 Compared to 2004


Cash provided by operating activities increased $134 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 due primarily to distributions received from the operations of our unconsolidated joint ventures.  This increase is offset by a decrease in cash received from the contribution of the properties to our joint ventures during 2004.  We received cash from operations of the contributed properties for the year ended December 31, 2004.


Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $13,435 as we acquired six investment properties during the year ended December 31, 2005 at a cost of $82,391 and generating $69,134 of disposition proceeds, as compared to the acquisition of six investment properties during the year ended December 31, 2004 at a cost of $78,049 and generating $27,671 of disposition proceeds.  Additionally, we received $6,341 in distributions from our joint ventures and used more cash to purchase investment securities during the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.


Net cash used in financing activities was $54,332 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $54,939 for the year ended December 31, 2004, as we used more cash to payoff debt and pay loan fees on new debt, which was offset by less cash used to pay down our line of credit.  Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2005, we received less proceeds from shares issued under our DRP.

Results of Operations


This section describes and compares our results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  At December 31, 2006, we had ownership interests in 27 single-user retail properties, 91 Neighborhood Retail Centers and 28 Community Centers.  We generate almost all of our net operating income from property operations.  In order to evaluate our overall portfolio, management analyzes the operating performance of properties that we have owned and operated for the same twelve month periods during each year.  A total of 117 of our investment properties satisfied these criteria during the periods presented and are referred to herein as "same store" properties.  These properties comprise approximately 9.9 million square feet.  A total of fifteen investment properties, those that have been acquired during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are presented as "other investment properties" in the table below.  The "same store" investment properties represent approximately 70% of the square footage of our portfolio at December 31, 2006.  This analysis allows management to monitor the operations of our existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of our current portfolio.  Additionally, we are able to determine the effects of our new acquisitions on net income.

Net income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2005.  The decrease in net income is primarily due to additional non-cash depreciation and amortization expense on a larger portfolio of properties.  Additionally, the decrease is due to large one-time lease termination fees received during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in comparison to minimal fees received during the year ended December 31, 2006.

On a "same store" basis, (comparing the results of operations of the investment properties owned during the year ended December 31, 2006, with the results of the same investment properties owned during the year ended December 31, 2005), property net operating income increased by $2,681 with total rental income and tenant recoveries increasing by $1,510 and total property operating expenses decreasing by $1,171.  Total rental income and tenant recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $176,475, as compared to $173,557 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The primary reasons for the increase in rental income and tenant recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 is positive leasing spreads on our "same store" properties and income received on our "other investment properties."


In comparing the results of operations from the "same store" properties during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, property net operating income increased by $1,459 with total rental income and tenant recoveries increasing by $3,760 and total property operating expenses increasing by $2,301.  Total rental income and tenant recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $173,557, as compared to $182,643 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The primary reason for this decreased was a decrease in rental income and tenant recoveries due to the contribution of investment properties to the New York State Teachers' Retirement Systems ("NYSTRS") joint venture during 2004 and 2005, which was partially offset by new acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2005.

(a)  The table above includes properties owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures.


Lease termination income was approximately $330, $6,289 and $2,891 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The primary reason for the increase in 2005 was the receipt of a lease termination fee of $6,100 from Dominick's Finer Foods with respect to the lease at their location in Highland Park, Illinois.


Total property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased $1,655, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.  The primary reason for the decrease is a decrease in common area and grounds maintenance expenses on our "same store" portfolio of properties.  The decrease is due in most part to lower snow removal costs in 2006, as compared to 2005.  Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive in order to reduce our premium paid for our annual insurance policies.





46






Total property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2005 decreased $2,581, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.  The primary reason for this decrease was a decrease of $4,882 in expenses associated with the "other investment properties" due to the contributions of investment properties to our unconsolidated joint ventures during 2005 and 2004.


Stock exchange listing expenses decreased for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.  We incurred approximately $839 in expenses related to our listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") during the year ended December 31, 2004.  This included travel expenses related to the road show, legal fees, approximately $333 for the engagement of an investment banking firm to assist with the listing and the initial $250 NYSE listing fee.  During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we paid approximately $65 and $67, respectively for our annual listing.


General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1,585 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.  This increase is due primarily to an increase in salaries and other payroll related items, board of director fees and professional fees related to acquisition activity during 2006.


General and administrative expenses increased approximately $195 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.  This is due to an increase in salaries and other payroll related items as well as additional accounting fees for our continued compliance with requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley").  This increase was offset by decreases related to investor service costs incurred in 2004 in relation to our certificate exchange program and lower fees paid for data processing services in 2005.  There were additional services necessary in 2004 for our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance that were not necessary in 2005.


Other income increased $2,604 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 due to several factors:


·

Interest received on our mortgages receivable increased for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 due to higher outstanding balances on our loan to Tri-Land Properties, Inc. as well as income received on our 25% participation in a note receivable from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc.


·

Dividend income received on our investment in securities increased for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.


·

Gains on the sale of our investment in securities increased for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.


Other income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the years ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is due to a decrease in gains recorded in 2005 on the sale of our investment in securities.


Interest expense increased approximately $4,455 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.  This increase is due in most part to interest paid on our line of credit with KeyBank N.A. during the year ended December 31, 2006.  This is the result of higher balances maintained throughout the year as well as a higher rate charged on the outstanding balances.  Additionally, interest expense increased due to the convertible notes that we issued during 2006.  We issued these convertible notes in order to take advantage of lower interest rates going forward.  These notes are fixed at a rate of 4.625% per annum.  In connection with the issuance of the notes, we repaid $120,000 of the outstanding balance on our line of credit, which had an interest rate of 6.675%.


Interest expense decreased $2,051 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.  This is primarily due to the contribution of properties into the joint ventures that occurred in 2004 and 2005.  Our portion of the interest expense for these properties is included in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.





47






Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased approximately $1,718 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.  This decrease is due in most part to our share of the non-cash expenses related to the properties held in our joint ventures.  This decrease is offset by increases in operations due to properties newly acquired by the joint ventures during the year ended December 31, 2006.  


Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased approximately $4,614 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compare to the year ended December 31, 2005.  Our largest joint venture was formed in December 2004.  Therefore, there were minimal operations recorded by the joint venture during 2004.


Captive Insurance


Effective October 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement with a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive ("Captive"), which is wholly owned by three other entities previously sponsored by Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation: Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. and us.  Inland Risk & Insurance Management Services, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc., provides services to the Captive.  The Captive was formed to more efficiently manage the respective insurance coverage of the members and the premiums associated with property casualty coverage.  The Captive will annually oversee the purchase of one or more insurance policies from a third party insurer that cover properties of its members that will be acceptable to all members. Portions of these insurance policies agreed upon by all members will be funded or reimbursed by insurance policies purchased from the Captive by the members. The premium associated with the non-catastrophic property and casualty insurance policies purchased from the Captive will be divided amongst each of the members based upon a determination by a third-party, independent actuary of the losses, loss reserves and loss expenses that each member is expected to incur and a proportional allocation of associated operating costs.  Each member initially contributed approximately $188 to the Captive in the form of a capital contribution and could be required to make annual contributions to fund the loss reserve.  The Captive will use this capital to pay a portion of certain property and casualty losses and general liability losses suffered by a member under the policies purchased by the Captive subject to deductibles applicable to each occurrence.  These losses will be paid by the Captive up to and including a certain dollar limit per occurrence, after which the losses are covered by the third party insurer.  We are required to remain as a member of the Captive for a period of five years even if insurance rates from third party providers are lower than what we get through the Captive.  Although our current year policy premium remained consistent with prior premiums, had we not entered the Captive, we could have seen larger increases than we had experienced in the past.


Joint Ventures


Consolidated joint ventures are those where we are either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence over or control the entity.  The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected residual returns and losses.  The third parties' interests in these consolidated entities are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures


Unconsolidated joint ventures are those where we are not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or have substantial influence over but do not control the entity.  We account for our interest in these ventures using the equity method of accounting.  Pertinent information related to these ventures is summarized in the following table:

Our proportionate share of the earnings or losses related to these ventures is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Additionally, we earn fees for providing property management, leasing and acquisition activities to these ventures.  We recognize only our share of these fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.


The operations of properties contributed by us are not recorded as discontinued operations because of our continuing involvement with these shopping centers.  Differences between our investment in the joint ventures and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of the joint ventures are due to basis differences resulting from our equity investment recorded at its historical basis versus the fair value of certain of our contributions to the joint venture.  Such differences are amortized over depreciable lives of the joint venture's property assets.  During the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we recorded $1,380 and $1,393, respectively, of amortization of this basis difference. No such amortization was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT.  FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs.  Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, NAREIT has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as ours.  As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.  We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.  Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons.  We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group.  Additionally, FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives payable by us to certain executives, based on our performance.  The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity.  Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO.  Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs.  FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.  The following table reflects our FFO for the periods presented, reconciled to net income available to common stockholders for these periods:

We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance.  EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from operations excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization.  By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure.  By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the performance of our portfolio.  Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it does not reflect the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor does it reflect trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing.  EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.

Impact of Recent Accounting Principles


In June 2005, the FASB ratified the EITF's consensus on Issue No. 04-5 "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights."  This consensus establishes the presumption that general partners in a limited partnership control that limited partnership regardless of the extent of the general partners' ownership interest in the limited partnership.  The consensus further establishes that the rights of the limited partners can overcome the presumption of control by the general partners, if the limited partners have either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (b) substantive participating rights.  Whether the presumption of control is overcome is a matter of judgement based on the facts and circumstances, for which the consensus provides additional guidance.  This consensus is currently applicable to the Company for new or modified partnerships, and is applicable to existing partnerships in 2006.  This consensus applies to limited partnerships or similar entities, such as limited liability companies that have governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership.  Adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.





51






In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 "Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." This Interpretation 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. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect of this Interpretation.


In September 2006, the SEC's staff issued SAB No. 108 "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements."  This Bulletin provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment.  The guidance in this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006.  Adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), Fair Value Measurements.  This new standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Inflation


Our long term leases contain provisions to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our operating results.  Such provisions include clauses entitling us to receive scheduled base rent increases and base rent increases based upon the consumer price index.  In addition, the majority of our leases require tenants to pay operating expenses, including maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in cost and operating expenses resulting from inflation.  


Subsequent Events


On January 10, 2007, we sold our interest in INCH III/Hastings, LLC for approximately $3,500.  This entity was an unconsolidated joint venture with Crow Holdings Managers, LLC, which owned Hastings Marketplace, located in Hastings, Minnesota.


On January 15, 2007, we announced that our board of directors approved a common stock dividend increase, raising the annual cash dividend payable per common share to $0.98, from the current annual level of $0.96 per common share.  The board of directors declared the first monthly cash dividend at the increased rate of $0.08167 will be payable on April 17, 2007 to common stockholders of record on April 2, 2007.


On January 17, 2007, we paid a cash distribution of $0.08 per share on the outstanding shares or our common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 3, 2007.


On January 18, 2007, we announced that we had declared a cash distribution of $0.08 per share on the outstanding shares of our common stock.  This distribution was paid on February 17, 2007 to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 31, 2007.


On January 30, 2007, we purchased, through our joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation, an investment property, leased to Best Buy, from an unaffiliated third party for $10,100.  The purchase price was funded using cash and cash equivalents.  The property is located in Burbank, Illinois and contains 71,000 square feet of leasable area.  


On February 23, 2007, we purchased Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc's interest in a joint venture for approximately $4,600.  The joint venture was formed to develop approximately 53 acres of vacant land in Clermont, Florida.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


As of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 we had no derivative instruments.  We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument.  We may designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting, as the instrument to be hedged will expose us to interest rate risk, and the derivative financial instrument will reduce that exposure.  If a derivative terminates or is sold, the gain or loss is recognized.  We will only enter into derivative transactions that satisfy the aforementioned criteria.


Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the fact that some of our long-term debt consists of variable interest rate loans.  We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs by closely monitoring our variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when we deem such conversion advantageous.


Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques, including periodically evaluating fixed interest rate quotes on all variable rate debt and the costs associated with converting the debt to fixed rate debt.  Also, existing fixed and variable rate loans that are scheduled to mature in the next year or two are evaluated for possible early refinancing and or extension due to consideration given to current interest rates.  The table below presents the principal amount of the debt maturing each year, including monthly annual amortization of principal, through December 31, 2011 and thereafter and weighted average interest rates for the debt maturing in each specified period.

The table above reflects indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2006, and does not reflect indebtedness incurred after that date.  Our ultimate exposure to interest rate fluctuations depends on the amount of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, the time at which the interest rate is adjusted, the amount of the adjustment, our ability to prepay or refinance variable rate indebtedness and hedging strategies used to reduce the impact of any increases in rates.


The fair value of mortgages payable is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The fair value of our mortgages, including our line of credit, is estimated to be $95,873 for mortgages which bear interest at variable rates and $716,563 for mortgages which bear interest at fixed rates.  We estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to us for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders.


At December 31, 2006, approximately $95,873, or 14.74% of our mortgages payable, have variable interest rates averaging 6.67%.  An increase in the variable interest rates charged on mortgages payable containing variable interest rate terms, constitutes a market risk.  A 0.25% annualized increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by approximately $240.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inland Real Estate Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Inland Real Estate Corporation (the Company) as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.


We conducted our audits 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Real Estate Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inland Real Estate Corporation:


We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Inland Real Estate Corporation (the Company) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company'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. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of 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, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


In our opinion, management's assessment that Inland Real Estate Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in COSO. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in COSO.


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Inland Real Estate Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, and our report dated February 27, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
(In thousands, except per share data and square footage amounts)



(1)

Organization and Basis of Accounting


The Company was formed on May 12, 1994.  The Company, collectively with its consolidated entities, is a publicly held real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, operates and develops (directly or through its unconsolidated entities) retail shopping centers.


The Company has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995.  So long as the Company qualifies for treatment as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets the requirements of the tests imposed by the Code.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.


Additionally, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, which became effective January 1, 2001, the Company is permitted to participate in certain activities that were previously prohibited in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") under the Code, subject to certain limitations.  As such, the TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Certain reclassifications were made to the 2005 and 2004 financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures.  These entities are consolidated because the Company is either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or has substantial influence and controls the entity.  The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected residual returns and losses.  The third parties' interests in these consolidated entities are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions.  The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions' non-performance.


Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements and 15 years for site improvements.  The Company accounts for tenant allowances as tenant improvements.  Tenant improvements are depreciated over the life of the related lease.




65






INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
(In thousands, except per share data and square footage amounts)



Acquired above and below market leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related leases as an adjustment to rental income.  Acquired in-place leases and customer relationship values are amortized over the average lease term as a component of amortization expense.


The Company allocates the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, other intangibles (including acquired above market leases, acquired below market leases, customer relationships and acquired in-place leases) and any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms.  The Company uses the information contained in the third party appraisals as the primary basis for allocating the purchase price between land and site improvements.  The aggregate value of other intangibles is measured based on the difference between the purchase price and the property valued as if vacant.


The Company capitalizes interest costs related to construction in progress and considers both interest paid on debt obtained to fund the project and the interest cost incurred during the period that could have been avoided.  The Company has recorded approximately $93 of capitalized interest related to its joint venture with Tucker Development Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2006.  No capitalized interest was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.


Amortization pertaining to the above market lease intangibles of $729, $880 and $716 was recorded as a reduction to rental income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Amortization pertaining to the below market lease intangibles of $1,383,  $1,827 and $1,274 was recorded as an increase to rental income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The Company incurred amortization expense pertaining to acquired in-place lease intangibles of $3,002, $2,826 and $1,736 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The table below presents the amounts to be recorded for the amortization of intangibles over the next five years:

On a quarterly basis, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, the Company reviews impairment indicators and if necessary conducts an impairment analysis to ensure that the carrying value of each property does not exceed its estimated fair value.  The Company evaluates its investment properties to assess whether any impairment indicators are present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate.  If an investment property is considered impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.  No such losses have been required or recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.


Leasing fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.  Loan fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loan.

The Company's joint venture with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation has offered tenant-in-common ("TIC") interests in properties that it holds together with its joint venture partner, Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation to investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.  These TIC interests may have served as replacement properties for investors seeking to complete like-kind exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Code.  The Company consolidated properties owned by the joint venture when its TIC ownership is greater than 50%.  Once the Company's TIC interest is less than 50%, the Company accounts for the property under the equity method of accounting.  The Company structures its TIC program with acquisition fees, which are due to the Company from the proceeds of the sales.  As the Company sells its interest in properties through TIC sales, it recognizes a proportionate share of acquisition fees and gain on sale as each individual transaction is completed.


The fair value of mortgages payable is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The fair value of the Company's mortgages, including its line of credit, is estimated to be $95,873 for mortgages which bear interest at variable rates and $716,563 for mortgages which bear interest at fixed rates.  The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company's lenders.


Offering costs are offset against the Stockholders' equity accounts.  Offering costs consist principally of printing, selling and registration costs.


Tenants required to pay a security deposit under their lease with the Company have paid either in cash or by posting letters of credit.  The letters of credit are not recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company held letters of credit for tenant security deposits totaling approximately $418 and $429, respectively.


Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease.  The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


The Company, from time to time, receives payments under master lease agreements covering spaces vacant at the time of acquisition.  The payments range from one to two years from the date of acquisition of the property or until the space is leased and tenants begin paying rent.  GAAP requires the Company to treat these payments as a reduction to the purchase price of the investment properties upon receipt of the payment, rather than as rental income.  As of December 31, 2006, the Company had three investment properties subject to a master lease agreement.


The Company accrues lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.


On December 2, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  The staff determined that a lessor should defer recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage/excess rent until the specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.  The Company has recorded percentage rental revenue in accordance with the SAB for all years presented.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company had no material derivative instruments.  The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company may designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting, as the instrument to be hedged will expose the Company to interest rate risk, and the derivative financial instrument will reduce that exposure.  Gains and losses related to the derivative financial instrument would be deferred and amortized over the terms of the hedged instrument.  If a derivative terminates or is sold, the gain or loss is recognized.  The Company will generally enter into derivative transactions that satisfy the aforementioned criteria only.


A mortgage receivable is considered impaired in accordance with SFAS No. 114: Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, a mortgage receivable is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest contractually due. The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note's effective interest rate. The Company does not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired.  When ultimate collectability of the principal balance of the impaired note is in doubt, all cash receipts on the impaired note are applied to reduce the principal amount of the note until the principal has been recovered and are recognized as interest income thereafter. Based upon the Company's judgment, no mortgages receivable were impaired as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.


Recent Accounting Principles


In June 2005, the FASB ratified the EITF's consensus on Issue No. 04-5 "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights."  This consensus establishes the presumption that general partners in a limited partnership control that limited partnership regardless of the extent of the general partners' ownership interest in the limited partnership.  The consensus further establishes that the rights of the limited partners can overcome the presumption of control by the general partners, if the limited partners have either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (b) substantive participating rights.  Whether the presumption of control is overcome is a matter of judgement based on the facts and circumstances, for which the consensus provides additional guidance.  This consensus is currently applicable to the Company for new or modified partnerships, and is applicable to existing partnerships in 2006.  This consensus applies to limited partnerships or similar entities, such as limited liability companies that have governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 "Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." This Interpretation 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. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this Interpretation.


In September 2006, the SEC's staff issued SAB No. 108 "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements."  This Bulletin provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment.  The guidance in this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), Fair Value Measurements.  This new standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Investment Securities


The Company classifies its investment in securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity.  Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term.  Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity.  All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available for sale.
Investment in securities at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are classified as available-for-sale securities.  Available-for sale securities are recorded at fair value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized.  Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are calculated using the first in first out ("FIFO") method of accounting.  Distribution income is recognized when received.  The Company acquires stock on margin.  The margin loan is subject to its terms and conditions.  At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the loan balances were $6,394 and $9,242, respectively and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value.  The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.  To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.  Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to the end of the period and forecasted performance of the investee.


Sales of investment securities available-for-sale during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 resulted in gains on sale of $479, $11 and $1,279, respectively.  These gains are included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.


Gross unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2006 were as follows:

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures


Unconsolidated joint ventures are those where the Company is not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or has substantial influence over but does not control the entity.  The Company accounts for its interest in these ventures using the equity method of accounting.  Pertinent information related to these ventures is summarized in the following table.

The Company's proportionate share of the earnings or losses related to these ventures is reflected as equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Additionally, the Company earns fees for providing property management, leasing and acquisition activities to these ventures.  The Company recognizes only its share of these fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.


The operations of properties contributed to the joint ventures by the Company are not recorded as discontinued operations because of the Company's continuing involvement with these investment properties.  Differences between the Company's investment in the joint ventures and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of the joint ventures are due to basis differences resulting from the Company's equity investment recorded at its historical basis versus the fair value of certain of the Company's contributions to the joint venture.  Such differences are amortized over depreciable lives of the joint venture's property assets.  During the years ended December 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded $1,380 and $1,393, respectively, of amortization of this basis difference.  No such amortization was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2004.

On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a buy-out and restructuring agreement, which amended the previous LLC agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc., dated February 1, 2001.  The Company will continue to be a lender to the wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc. for this redevelopment project.  The Company agreed to lend Tri-Land Properties, Inc. up to $21,500.  Draws on the loan bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum, with 5.5% to be paid currently and the remaining 3% to be accrued, with no additional interest, and paid upon maturity.  The loan matures on June 30, 2008.  As of December 31, 2006, the balance of this mortgage receivable was $17,479.  The loan is secured by the investment property and Tri-Land Properties, Inc. has guaranteed $1,000 of this mortgage receivable.  The Company recorded a deferred gain of $3,193 on the sale of its equity investment related to the previous joint venture agreement, as it did not qualify for gain recognition due to the lack of initial investment and continuing involvement.  Such amounts are included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Additionally, the Company recorded $1,088 and $474 of interest income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and has increased the mortgage receivable balance for unpaid interest by $2,377 since inception.

An affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. was the mortgagee on the Walgreens property, located in Decatur, Illinois.  The loan secured by this mortgage matured on May 31, 2004 and the principal of approximately $624 was repaid.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company paid principal and interest payments totaling $28.


On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a buy-out and restructuring agreement, which amended the previous LLC agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Tri-Land Properties, Inc., dated February 1, 2001.  The Company agreed to lend Tri-Land Properties, Inc. up to $21,500 for the development of the Century Consumer Mall in Merrillville, Indiana.  Richard Dube, the brother-in-law of Mr. Daniel Goodwin, the Company's Chairman of the Board, is the president and a principal owner of Tri-Land.  Reference is made to Note 4 for more information on the Company's mortgage receivable with Tri-Land.

In June and September 2006, the Company entered into joint venture agreements with North American Real Estate, Inc ("NARE") to acquire and develop vacant land located in Aurora, Illinois.  One of our directors, Joel Simmons, is a minority partner in the entity that NARE formed to be the partner in this venture.  Mr. Simmons will receive his pro rata share of NARE's earnings from this venture and is not entitled to preferred distributions.


On September 5, 2006, Inland Venture Corporation, a Taxable REIT Subsidiary previously formed by the Company, entered into a limited liability company agreement with Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Inland Group, Inc.  The resulting joint venture was formed to facilitate Inland Venture Corporation's participation in tax-deferred exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code using properties made available to the joint venture by Inland Venture Corporation.  The Company executed a joinder to the joint venture agreement, agreeing to perform certain expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations thereunder.  The Company will coordinate the joint venture's acquisition, property management and leasing functions, and will earn fees for services provided to the joint venture, including management and leasing fees, as well as syndication fees, which will be split equally between Inland Venture Corporation and Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation.


Effective October 1, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive ("Captive"), which is wholly owned by the Company and three other entities previously sponsored by Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation: Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. and Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.  Inland Risk & Insurance Management Services, Inc., an affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc., provides services to the Captive.  The Captive was formed to more efficiently manage the respective insurance coverage of the members and the premiums associated with property casualty coverage.  The Captive will annually oversee the purchase of one or more insurance policies from a third party insurer that cover properties of its members that will be acceptable to all members. Portions of these insurance policies agreed upon by all members will be funded or reimbursed by insurance policies purchased from the Captive by the members. The premium associated with the non-catastrophic property and casualty insurance policies purchased from the Captive will be divided amongst each of the members based upon a determination by a third-party, independent actuary of the losses, loss reserves and loss expenses that each member is expected to incur and a proportional allocation of associated operating costs.  Each member initially contributed approximately $188 to the Captive in the form of a capital contribution.  The Captive will use this capital to pay a portion of certain property and casualty losses and general liability losses suffered by a member under the policies purchased by the Captive subject to deductibles applicable to each occurrence.  These losses will be paid by the Captive up to and including a certain dollar limit per occurrence, after which the losses are covered by the third party insurer.  The Company is required to remain as a member of the Captive for a period of five years.


On October 26, 2006, the Company purchased a 25% or $10,369 participation interest in a note receivable from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("IARETI"), a related party of The Inland Group, Inc.

Stock Option Plan


The Company adopted an amended and restated Independent Director Stock Option Plan which granted each Independent Director an option to acquire 3 shares of common stock as of the date they become a director and an additional 1 shares on the date of each annual stockholders' meeting.  The options for the initial 3 shares granted are exercisable as follows: 1 share on the date of grant and 1 share on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant.  The succeeding options are exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant.  For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase 26, 29 and 32 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $10.45 to $15.62 per share were outstanding during each of the respective periods.  During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, options to purchase 3 and 13 shares, respectively, were exercised by certain independent directors.  


(7) Discontinued Operations


During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company sold a total of eleven investment properties.  Additionally, the Company has sold portions of certain shopping centers and vacant land.  For federal and state income tax purposes, certain of our sales qualified as part of tax deferred exchanges and, as a result, the tax gains are deferred until the replacement properties are disposed of in subsequent taxable transactions.  The proceeds from these sales were deposited with a qualified tax deferred exchange agent with the intent of using these proceeds for future acquisitions.  The following table summarizes the properties sold, date of sale, approximate sales proceeds, net of closing costs, gain on sale and whether the sale qualified as part of a tax deferred exchange.

If the Company determines that an investment property meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, it suspends depreciation on the assets held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases and customer relationship values.  The assets and liabilities associated with those assets would be classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, there were no properties classified as held for sale.

Remaining lease terms range from one year to fifty-four years.  Pursuant to the lease agreements, tenants of the property are required to reimburse the Company for some or all of the particular tenant's pro rata share of the real estate taxes and operating expenses of the property.  Such amounts are not included in the future minimum lease payments above, but are included in tenant recoveries on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.


Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for "stepped" rent increases.  GAAP requires the Company to record rental income for the period of occupancy using the effective monthly rent, which is the average monthly rent for the entire period of occupancy during the term of the lease.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include increases of $996, $614 and $2,173 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, of rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply $20,318 and $19,322 in related accounts and rents receivable as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The Company anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

Distributions


For federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary income distributions, non-taxable return of capital, capital gains or a combination thereof.  Distributions to the extent of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes are taxable to the recipient as ordinary income.  Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits (calculated for tax purposes) will constitute a non-taxable return of capital rather than a distribution and will reduce the recipient's basis in the shares to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain.  Distributions in excess of earnings and profits have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the distribution until the sale of the stockholder's shares.

In order to maintain the Company's status as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income," to its stockholders.  REIT taxable income is defined as taxable income excluding the deduction for distributions paid and net capital gains.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company's "REIT taxable income" was $54,864 and $60,920, respectively.  The Company declared distributions to stockholders totaling $64,491 and $64,212 or $0.96 and $0.95 on an annual basis per share for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Future distributions are determined by the Company's board of directors.  The Company expects to continue paying distributions to maintain its status as a REIT.  The Company annually notifies its stockholders of the taxability of distributions paid during the proceeding year.  The following table sets forth the taxability of distributions, on a per share basis, paid in 2006 and 2005:

Line of Credit


On June 28, 2002, the Company entered into a $100,000 unsecured line of credit arrangement with KeyBank N.A. for a period of three years.  The funds from this line of credit are used to purchase additional investment properties.  


On April 22, 2005, the Company completed a second amendment to this line of credit.  The aggregate commitment of the Company's line is $400,000 and matures on April 22, 2008.  The Company pays interest only on draws under the line at the rate equal to 120 – 160 basis points over LIBOR.  The Company is also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount less than 1% per annum on the average daily funds remaining under this line.  In conjunction with this amendment, the Company paid approximately $541 in fees and costs.  The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $28,000 as of December 31, 2006.


The line of credit requires compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions.  As of December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

Convertible Notes


On November 13, 2006, the Company issued $180,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% convertible senior notes due 2026, which included the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional $10,000 to cover over-allotments.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $177,300 after deducting selling discounts and commission.  The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase 2,776 shares of its common stock at a price equal to $18.01 per share (approximately $50,000 in the aggregate) concurrently with the closing of the offering.  The Company also used the net proceeds to repay approximately $120,000 in outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association.  The Company will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to pay the expenses of the offering.


Interest on the notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year beginning May 15, 2007.  The notes mature on November 15, 2026 unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to that date.  The Company may not redeem the notes prior to the date on which they mature except to the extent necessary to preserve its status as a REIT.  Following the occurrence of certain change in control transactions, the Company may be required to repurchase the notes in whole or in part for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest.  At December 31, 2006, the Company has recorded $1,110 of accrued interest related to the convertible notes.  This amount is included in accrued interest on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006.


Holders may convert their notes into cash or a combination of cash and common stock, at our option, at any time on or after October 15, 2026, but prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding November 15, 2026, and also following the occurrence of certain events.  Subject to certain exceptions, upon a conversion of notes the Company will deliver cash and shares of our common stock, if any, based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day of the relevant 30 day trading period.  The conversion rate as of December 31, 2006, for each $1 principal amount of notes was 48.2824 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $20.71 per share of common stock.


(13)

Earnings per Share


Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the "common shares").  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the common shares plus shares issuable upon exercise of existing options or other contracts.  


As of December 31, 2006, 64 shares of common stock issued pursuant to employment agreements were outstanding, of which 21 have vested.  Additionally, the Company issued 34 shares pursuant to employment incentives of which 8 have vested.  The unvested shares are excluded from the computation of basic EPS but reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method.  As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, options to purchase 26 and 29 shares of common stock, respectively, at exercise prices ranging from $10.45 to $15.62 per share were outstanding.  During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, options to purchase 3 and 13 shares, respectively, were exercised by certain independent directors.  These options were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the effect would be immaterial.  Convertible notes are included in the computation of diluted EPS using the if-converted method, to the extent the impact of conversion is dilutive.

The share price of the issued shares is determined by averaging the high and low selling price on the date of issue, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.  Prior to 2004, the share value was determined to be equal to the last price at which the Company sold shares, prior to its listing on the New York Stock Exchange.  Each officer vests an equal portion of shares over a five-year vesting period, beginning one year from the date of issuance of the award.  The officers may receive additional restricted shares of the Company's common stock, which are also subject to a five-year vesting period.  The number of these shares is to be determined based upon the future performance of the Company.  Salary expense of $267, $178 and $72 were recorded in connection with the vesting of these shares, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Segment Reporting


The Company owns and acquires well located open air retail centers.  The Company currently owns investment properties located in the States of Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin.  These properties are typically anchored by grocery and drug stores, complemented with additional stores providing a wide range of other goods and services.


The Company assesses and measures operating results on an individual property basis for each of its investment properties based on property net operating income.  Because all of the Company's investment properties exhibit highly similar economic characteristics, generally have tenants that offer products catering to the day-to-day living needs of individuals, and offer similar degrees of risk and opportunities for growth, the shopping centers have been aggregated and reported as one operating segment.


The property net operating income is summarized in the following table for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, along with reconciliation to income from continuing operations.  Net investment properties and other related segment assets, non-segment assets and total assets are also presented as of December 31, 2006, and 2005:

INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
Schedule III (continued)
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Notes:


(A)

The initial cost to the Company represents the original purchase price of the property, including amounts incurred subsequent to acquisition which were contemplated at the time the property was acquired.


(B)

The aggregate cost of real estate owned at December 31, 2006 and 2005 for federal income tax purposes was approximately $1,303,499 and $1,190,949, (unaudited,) respectively.


(C)

Adjustments to basis include additions to investment properties net of payments received under master lease agreements.  The Company, from time to time, receives payments under master lease agreements covering spaces vacant at the time of acquisition.  The payments range from one to two years from the date of acquisition of the property or until the space is leased and the tenants begin paying rent.  GAAP requires the Company to treat these payments as a reduction to the purchase price of the investment properties upon receipt of the payment, rather than as rental income.  As of December 31, 2006, the Company had one investment property, Wauconda Crossing, located in Wauconda, IL, that was subject to a master lease agreement.  


(D)

Not included in the building and improvements and accumulated depreciation totals are expenses paid by the Company for improvements to spaces leased for its corporate offices.  As of December 31, 2006, these amounts are $698 and $131, respectively.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure


There were no disagreements on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope of procedure during 2006 or 2005.


Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to the members of senior management and the Board of Directors.


Based on management’s evaluation as of December 31, 2006, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company have concluded that as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, the Company's management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006.


The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) 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 (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


All internal control systems have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements.  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.


KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, which is included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


Item 9B. Other Information


None.
