ITEM 8.01                      OTHER EVENTS

During 2010, affiliates of Glimcher Realty Trust (the “Registrant”) acquired, in separate transactions, from entities controlled by The Wolff Company (“Wolff”), an unrelated third party, additional properties through certain affiliates and joint venture entities (the “Acquisition Properties”), as further described below and as previously disclosed in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

On September 9, 2010, SDQ Fee, LLC (“SDQ Fee”), an affiliate of the Registrant, purchased the fee simple interest to approximately fourteen and one-half acres of real property (the “Scottsdale Land”) underlying  Scottsdale Quarter, a retail and office complex located in Scottsdale, Arizona, for $96,000,000 from Sucia Scottsdale, LLC (“Sucia”).  Subsequent to the acquisition, the Scottsdale Land is subject to a long term ground lease under which both the landlord and tenant are now wholly-owned affiliates of the Registrant.  The purchase of the Scottsdale Land was funded by a new mortgage loan as previously disclosed.  The completion of this transaction was initially disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 14, 2010.

On October 15, 2010, SDQ III Fee, LLC (“SDQ III Fee”), another affiliate of the Registrant, completed its purchase of undeveloped land known as Phase III (the “Phase III Parcels”) located adjacent to Scottsdale Quarter for $25,450,000 from entities affiliated with Sucia.  The purchase of the Phase III Parcels was funded by a combination of two loans totaling $16,000,000 with the remaining portion of the purchase price paid in cash as previously disclosed.  The completion of this transaction was initially disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 18, 2010.

Kierland Crossing, LLC (“Kierland”), another affiliate of the Registrant, initially executed the purchase agreement for both the Scottsdale Land and the Phase III Parcels, and subsequently assigned its interest as buyer to SDQ Fee and to SDQ III Fee, respectively.

Also on October 15, 2010, Glimcher Kierland Crossing, LLC, another affiliate of the Registrant and owner of a 50% joint venture interest in Kierland, completed its purchase of the remaining 50% joint venture interest in Kierland for $10 from WC Kierland Crossing, LLC, an affiliate of Sucia. As a result of this transaction, Glimcher Kierland Crossing, LLC became the owner of all of the membership interests in Kierland as well as the sole owner and operator of Scottsdale Quarter.   The completion of this transaction was initially disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 18, 2010.

The statements of revenues and certain expenses of Kierland and Sucia are included in this Form 8-K.  The Phase III Parcels do not have any current revenues or operations and as such a statement of revenues and other expenses is not presented.   Other than the transactions and relationships described herein, neither the Registrant, its affiliates, officers, trustees, nor any associates of such officers and trustees has any material relationship with Sucia, WC Kierland, LLC, or any third party source of funds referenced herein.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Glimcher Realty Trust
Columbus, Ohio
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of Kierland Crossing, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The statement of revenues and certain expenses is the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues and certain expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain expenses, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K of Glimcher Realty Trust.  As described in Note 1, material amounts that would not be comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of   Kierland Crossing, LLC. are excluded from the statement of revenues and certain expenses and the statement of revenues and certain expenses is not intended to be a complete presentation of Kierland Crossing, LLC’s revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of Kierland Crossing, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.      Background and Basis of Presentation

Kierland Crossing, LLC (“Kierland”) was initially formed as a 50/50 joint venture between Glimcher Kierland Crossing, LLC (“GKC”), an affiliate of Glimcher Realty Trust (the “Company”), and a third party to build and operate a premium retail and office complex, consisting of approximately 600,000 square feet of gross leasable space in Scottsdale, Arizona (“Scottsdale Quarter”).  On September 9, 2010, another affiliate of the Company completed the purchase of the fee simple interest to approximately fourteen and one-half acres of real property underlying Scottsdale Quarter, which is subject to a long term ground lease with Kierland as tenant.  On October 15, 2010, GKC completed its purchase of the remaining 50% joint venture interest in Kierland, such that after the transaction Kierland became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, which was primarily codified into Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 – “Consolidation”, the Company began reporting Kierland as a consolidated real estate entity on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2010.

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statements”) have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.  The Statements have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14, and for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company.  The Statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Kierland.  Prior to 2009, Kierland was in the process of constructing Scottsdale Quarter and did not recognize any revenues or operating expenses.  During the year ended December 31, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Scottsdale Quarter was under development as construction activity was ongoing.  However, during the year ended December 31, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Kierland derived revenue from tenants for the portion of Scottsdale Quarter that was completed and placed in service.  Certain costs qualified for capitalization during the construction period and are not reflected as expenses in the Statement.  Certain expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization, interest, property management fees and other costs not directly related to the future operations of Scottsdale Quarter, have been excluded.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through December 23, 2010, the date of the issuance of the Statements. No material subsequent events have occurred that required disclosure in the Statements.

2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Rental Revenue

Minimum rents are recognized on an accrual basis over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis.  Rental revenue may also include recoveries from tenant’s for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses which are recognized as revenues in the period that the applicable costs are incurred.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the property and include maintenance, utilities, and repair costs that are expected to continue in the ongoing operations of Kierland.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses primarily include expenses related to a 99-year ground lease for Scottsdale Quarter’s underlying real estate.  Prior to September 9, 2010, the ground lease contained provisions for rent increases ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% during the first thirty-nine years of the lease. During the fortieth year the base rent would be adjusted to the greater of fair market value or the rent charged during the thirty-ninth year. After the fortieth year, the ground lease would contain a provision for a 2.0% annual increase until the end of the lease. On September 9, 2010, the lease was amended and the provision requiring a 2.0% annual increase after the fortieth year was removed. Payments under the ground lease are recognized on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease and are reflected in the statement of revenues and certain expenses, net of amounts capitalized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.      Commitments

Real estate underlying Scottsdale Quarter is subject to a 99-year ground lease that expires in 2105.  On September 9, 2010, an affiliate of the Company purchased the fee interest in the underlying real estate for $96,000 and became the landlord under the ground lease. Upon acquisition of the fee interest, the ground lease was modified as described in Note 2. The lease also requires the reimbursement of real estate taxes to the landlord.  Future minimum rental payments, excluding the reimbursement of real estate taxes,  which reflect the modified lease terms of the non-cancelable operating lease described in Note 2, are as follows:
 
Year Ending December 31,
 
Amount
 
2010
  $ 5,444  
2011
    5,526  
2012
    5,609  
2013
    5,693  
2014
    5,778  
Thereafter
    864,667  
         
Total
  $ 892,717  

4.      Future Minimum Rental Income

Kierland receives rental income from the leasing of retail shopping and office space at Scottsdale Quarter under operating leases with expiration dates currently through the year 2022.  The minimum future base rentals under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:

 Year Ending December 31,    
Amount
 
2010
  $ 758  
2011
    776  
2012
    777  
2013
    779  
2014
    784  
Thereafter
    10,288  
         
Total
  $ 14,162  

Minimum future base rentals do not include amounts which may be received from certain tenants based upon a percentage of their gross sales or as reimbursement of real estate taxes and property operating expenses. Minimum rents on the statements of revenues and certain expenses contain straight-line adjustments which caused rental revenue to increase by $2 and $340 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, five and six tenants, respectively, each accounted for more than 10.0% of rental income.
