CALGARY, Aug. 10 /CNW/ - Northern Property R.E.I.T. (NPR.UN - TSX)
announced its financial results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2005.
Highlights:
- quarterly distributable income exceeds the $6 million threshold
- Q1 Newfoundland and Alberta purchases absorbed; NWT commercial
properties acquired
- 28.7% increase in revenues
- portfolio interest rates continue to decline
Rental properties revenue increased from $12.2 million in Q2-2004 to
$15.7 million in Q2-2005 primarily due to the acquisition of rental properties
and same door growth within the portfolio of 0.7%. Revenue year-to-date 2005
is 28.7% higher than the same period in 2004 ($29.9 million versus
$23.3 million).
Distributable income for the quarter reached $6.02 million, up from
$4.98 million for the corresponding quarter a year earlier. DIPU for the
quarter held steady at $0.38, compared to a year ago. Weighted average units
outstanding for the quarter were 16,016,912 compared to 13,167,881 for Q2
2004.
Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $2.82 million compared to
$2.44 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 15.6%. For
the six months ended June 30, 2005 net income was $5.51 million compared to
$4.62 million in the prior year.
Capital assets increased from $326.84 million at December 31, 2004 to
$380.55 million at June 30, 2005 reflecting the significant acquisition
activity during the first six months of the year. At June 30, 2005, NPREIT's
debt to Gross Book Value was 53.1%. The weighted average interest rate of
NPREIT's debt declined from 6.13% at year end to 5.87% at the end of June,
2005.
Vacancy loss in the portfolio totalled 3.4% for the second quarter of
2005, plus 1.3% for units off the market due to renovations. NPREIT has
embarked on a program to improve the marketing and sales skills of front line
and managerial staff. Third party consultants are supporting the initiative
which also includes measures such as adoption of a tenant retention program,
enhanced signage and increased internet based marketing.
NPREIT President and CEO, Jim Britton said the first six months of 2005
were "both challenging and productive. We acquired 1110 residential units plus
a 50% interest in a commercial portfolio, concluded a public offering and
completely revamped our marketing program to deal with more competitive rental
market conditions. The improvements we are beginning to see in lower vacancy
and continued declines in mortgage interest rates will significantly offset
utility cost pressures. We expect improvements in DIPU as acquisition efforts
continues to employ the capital we have raised."
"Our markets generally are enjoying impressive economic growth"
Mr. Britton said. "Northern Alberta is exceptionally strong, the NWT is
prospering and there is evidence of another surge of economic growth in
Newfoundland. Our rental properties are a proxy for this growth."
NPREIT's payout ratio is one of the healthiest in the business at 83% of
FFO. "This helps to ensure strong and stable returns for our Unitholders",
Mr. Britton concluded.

(Columnar amounts expressed in thousands of dollars except where
indicated)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION OF TRUST
Northern Property Real Estate Investment Trust ("NPREIT") is an
unincorporated "open-end" real estate investment trust created for
the benefit of the unitholders pursuant to the Declaration of Trust
dated January 2, 2002 under the laws of the Province of Alberta.
NPREIT was created to invest in a portfolio of income-producing
residential and commercial rental properties located primarily in the
Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Province of Alberta.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of NPREIT
have been prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the
handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA")
and are consistent with those used in the audited consolidated
financial statements as at and for the period ended
December 31, 2004. These unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements do not include all of the disclosures required by Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP") applicable
to annual financial statements; therefore, they should be read in
conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial
statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and to make
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
The Trust adopted the new CICA requirements for accounting for income
property acquisitions initiated on or after September 12, 2003. In
accordance with EIC-137 "Recognition of Customer Relationship
Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination" and EIC-140
"Accounting for Operating Leases Acquired in Either an Asset
Acquisition or a Business Combination", the Trust allocates the
purchase price of real property to land, building, and intangibles,
such as the value of above-market and below-market leases, and lease
origination costs, if any.
The above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired
properties are determined based on the present value of the
difference between the contractual base rentals under the lease and
fair market lease rates for similar in-place leases, measured from
the date of acquisition to the end of the remaining lease term.
The value of above and below market leases are recorded and amortized
over the remaining term of the associated lease. The value associated
with lease origination costs is amortized over the lease term.

notes and bears interest at 5.84% per annum. NPREIT owns a 50%
interest in the Commercial Properties Zheh Gwizhu Limited
Partnership.
8. LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
The Board of Trustees approved a long-term incentive plan ("LTIP")
for the executives of NPREIT, based on the results of the each fiscal
year. Units were granted under the long-term incentive plan (LTIP) as
follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Grant Total Cost
Grant Date Units Price ($000's)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL - December 31, 2004 64,979 - 1,065
Accrual for 2005 LTIP grants - - 250
Units vested and issued -
January, 2005 (11,360) - (187)
Units forfeited - June, 2005 (525) - (9)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL - June 30, 2005 53,094 - 1,119
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The actual amount of the LTIP award is determined at the end of the
year by the Board of Trustees based on an assessment of the
performance of the Trust and the individual performance of the
executives. The number of units issued is based on the trading price
on December 31st of each year. One third of the units vest over each
12, 24 and 36 month period following their initial grant. Units are
forfeited if an individual resigns prior to the period in which the
units vest. For the period ended June 30, 2005, a total of 11,360
LTIP units have vested and been issued (June 30, 2004 - 8,518).
9. EMPLOYEE UNIT PURCHASE PLAN

"EUPP") for the employees of NPREIT, effective June 16, 2005. Under
the terms of the EUPP, employees may invest a maximum of 5% of their
salary in NPREIT units and the Trust will contribute one unit for
every three units acquired by an employee. The units are purchased on
the TSX at market prices. For the period ending June 30, 2005,
employees invested a total of $3,000 and the trust contributed
$1,000. Units were purchased on July 4 at $18.60 per unit.
