Thanks, Brad. Good afternoon and welcome to the third quarter 2011 earnings call what is now called Cedar Realty Trust. Our new company name and logo signal the commencement of Cedar’s transformation into what we expect will be a better performing shopping center REIT through many of the measures we will be detailing on this call. The primary focus of today’s call in vision to reviewing our third quarter results will be an overview what we plan to proceed are in the coming quarters. Since arriving in the middle of June 2011, we have focused on developing a plan to position Cedar to deliver compelling results on a consistent basis. We understand that implementing such a plan will take time and great effort, but one thing we’ve come to recognize from the work put in thus far is that our company has a very motivated and talented team of professionals and an attractive core portfolio in the highly desirable Washington DC to Boston corridor that is reliable and defensive. Accordingly we think our efforts in revitalizing this company will be very rewarding for Cedar’s shareholders. The team at Cedar has already started to reflect improvements in decision making and operations. Upon arriving we set out to visit our entire portfolio, create business plans for each of our assets and meet with our major tenants. This exercise in turn allowed us to develop multi-year asset-by-assets projections which we have incorporated into what we expect will be a more reliable corporate model. Having completed this process, we are now much better positioned to anticipate problems, improve transparency and make decisions that create long-term value. In terms of operation, we have endeavored to make improvements on many fronts, too many to get into on this call. One that might be worth highlighting is…

Thank Bruce. Good afternoon everyone. On this call, I am going to highlight the financial results for the third quarter and then spend a few minutes talking about progress on our $300 million credit facility and a couple of recently completed debt refinancing. First starting with operating results. Recurring FFO was $0.12 per diluted share for the third quarter compared to $0.14 per diluted share for the prior year. The decrease in the current FFO was due equally to that acquisition piece from our Cedar/RioCan JV and loss rent from the IRS vacating two properties in Philadelphia. Last quarter, we divested our interest in one of these properties and we are working with lender to commit our remaining property and resolve this matter by a year-end or early next year. On the leasing front we continue to achieve consistent positive results. During the quarter, we executed renewals for 203,000 square feet at 5.1% increase on a cash basis. And new leases for 183,000 square feet at a weighted average rent of about $14 per square feet. This represents an increase of $2.5 above our consolidated portfolios weighted average in place rent. Our leasing activity for the last couple quarters has now increased our total operating portfolio occupancy to 91.4% and our same center occupancy to 93.9%, a 90 and 70 basis points respectively over the prior year. As evidence of this leasing activity and occupancy gains, same center NOI for the current quarter increased 1.8% excluding redevelopment properties and 3.1% including redevelopment properties. The growth in redevelopment was driven by lease of Town Square Center which is 95% occupied. We are discussing a lot of activity and changes on this call, and I hope that the very consistent results of our same center properties are not overlooked. Now focusing on…

Thanks Phil. Our near-term strategic plan contemplates two essential elements. First, we intend to streamline our portfolio in order to improve our property type and geographic focus by selling all our non-core assets. We feel the streamlining will enhance our operations since we will be managing fewer sensors in a narrower and more attractive geographic footprint with a greater focus on maximizing the value and improving the cash flow of these assets. In addition, we will be improving our portfolio metrics through this process. Second, we will be reducing leverage. One of the elegant elements of our plan in my opinion is that many of the assets which are non-core strategically also are low yielding. When this process is completed, we expect to have less leverage, greater financial flexibility and a very manageable debt maturity schedule, all without suffering a meaningful reduction in earnings. We have identified 50 assets, including 10 land parcels having an aggregate pro rata value, net of closing costs of approximately $150 million that we intend to sell or divest. Our plan is for all of the net proceeds to be used to reduce indebtedness. Many of these dispositions are underway with 30 properties representing approximately $90 million in value either under contract or [teed-up] to be return to a lender. We currently expect the balance of these dispositions to be completed within the next 18 to 24 months or hopefully sooner. Notably at the conclusion of this process, we expected to be relatively modest reduction in FFO since many of these assets are low yielding and the interest savings largely offset by $7 million to $8 million in loss NOI. Also, we anticipate we will have reduced our debt to EBITDA ratio from roughly 9.2 times when we arrived at Cedar last quarter to less…

(Operator Instructions) Our first question is coming from the line of Mr. Nathan Isbee with Stifel Nicolaus.

Just focusing on the asset sales, if you can talk a little bit more both about the Discount Drug Mart and may be the Humburg, both of them have some extenuating circumstances facing at the Discount Drug Mart and I would say in the 10-Q last quarter you had mentioned something about loan assumptions being denied by the banks in the Humburg bankruptcy.

I will handle some of this and I will ask Brenda Walker to handle some of this. Obviously these are both transactions that have required us to managing like a lot of asset disposition processes do. On the Humburg side, it’s not a secret that the Humburg organization in Canada has pursued a reorganization effort. From our perspective that hasn’t really impacted us too much, other than the fact that it just required us to be a little bit more involved in managing the process of disposing off these assets. I don't want to get into too much more detail on the Humburg front. We are feeling good about the process right now, but again we just need to stay on it and drive it to a successful conclusion and when it does conclude, we will be very forthcoming with more information on the Humburg front. Brenda I don’t know if you may want to try a little bit of an update on the loan assumption side for the Discount Drug Mart?

On the Discount Drug Mart side of the assumptions process, we have gotten through the servicers and have received letters approving the assumptions by the buyers. There are a few tweaks that the buyers would like to make to those assumption letters. I have indications that these tweaks are not substantive issues. We are now working on purchase of the sales document as well as loan assumption documents. So things are moving along and at pace.

And if you can just maybe and Brenda I don’t know if you are the one to address this. From my recollection there is five vacant supermarket spaces in your portfolio. Can you just about what progress you might have made in terms of finding replacements and what’s been going on at the small shops business centers?

I can give you some updates with regard to closed but (inaudible) location up in Connecticut. We are in very serious negotiations I guess in the final stages of negotiation with a major grocery store, tremendous credit to replace the entire square footage and we are very hopeful given the information that we have today that this transaction will be completed I’d say first quarter of 2012 with construction commencing probably by the end of first quarter 2012. With regard to Kempsville Virginia where we also have a closed supervalue contact. We have small shop there, we have had no reduction in occupancy there and we’ve been renewing tenants, but do have interest from a grocer to take the entire square footage of that space and probably some of the ancillary square footage. We do have flexibility in those leases where tenants are situated that we can relocate them throughout the rest of the shopping center.

And then just focusing back on the asset sales for a minute. Throughout this list here, we’ve had a 150 million. Can you talk about may be what’s beyond that in terms of the core portfolio core (inaudible) portfolio that you might be looking to divest.

We’re not really looking to divest anything beyond that. I think that our core portfolio is going to consist of our 70 consolidated assets. We have a 20% interest in 22 assets in a joint venture with RioCan and our focus is going to be on maximizing the value of those assets or we don’t really have plans to divest the assets beyond that. Our plan is to really maximize shareholder value by working those assets.

So this is really all that you have that you’re looking to get rid off at this point?

Nat, if I can just finish it. We think about our leverage on a debt-to-EBITDA basis and so you know these are all the assets that you know are handsome assets from a cash flow perspective and we wouldn’t be able to reduce our leverage on a debt-to-EBITDA basis by selling those assets in particular and from a strategic perspective they make a lot of sense, they fit right into our footprint. You know there might be assets that we’re going to sell on a one-off basis, but I'm of the view that residual portfolio as being an attractive portfolio for us to manage.

Well that’s what I was referring to. I mean not so much on the deleveraging, just in terms of the 70 that are left. I mean I would assume that there’re some in there that don’t have the same growth profiles that you might be looking for going forward.

Right, but we will be much more surgical with how we approach that and so I think that while I can't tell you that we’re going to own all 70 of these assets five years from now. I can tell you that you know, we’re not at this point looking to divest any of them necessarily and so to really be much more of a one-off type of an exercise as opposed to how we approach the divestiture strategy that we’re talking about now.

Okay and then just one final question on that. The new leases that you signed, do you have a same space spread on that not just to your total portfolio

Hey, Nat, this is Phil. On the new leases, we don’t have a same state comp on that. A lot of these assets were brought in the last few years and the way we currently have the data in our system, it doesn’t just make it conducive to providing that but it’s something we’re working on.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Mr. Paul Adornato with BMO Capital Markets. Your line is now open. You may proceed with your question.

Thanks, good afternoon. Obviously RioCan has been the very important capital and strategic partner over the last 18 months. I was wondering what their involvement will be in the company during this repositioning phase? Do you still anticipate making acquisitions, perhaps only managed acquisitions?

I think, there are, I guess, maybe, many parts what you said there. They are not going to be involved in the process that we just described with divesting assets. So I think that from that perspective, obviously that’s something in which we’re going alone. We’re continuing to operate the 22 assets we have with them plus they’ve been buying some assets, not in an joint venture that we’ve been helping them close and manage and lease and hopefully we will continue to do that. In terms of whether we make investments through them going forward, I think that, I don’t want to speak with them but my impression is that we’ve said that we found assets that may change considering our cost of capital to invest in. I think that RioCan will be happy to continue to invest with us. Obviously that’s something that you would have to check with [Edge] on China, his team on. But, again, we’ve a very good relationship with them. If we identify assets together that makes sense for us to invest and considering our cost of capital we might invest in them. But I think that’s right now at least, the focus of this organization is, and executing the plan that that we’re describing with you on the phone right now.

Okay. And is it possible that there might be some acquisitions during this period as well or will it be just be a dispositions that you have laid out?

Well, as I mentioned on the call, there are two acquisitions that we are making. We are acquiring two of the assets from the Homburg joint venture. So maybe 20% of those are going to be acquiring the 80% interest that Homburg go in. So we will be acquiring at least two assets at the time of that joint venture gets under way, which I would expect to be sometime in 2012.

Okay, and with respect to the use of proceeds, obviously deleveraging is very important and you’ve said what you intend to do. But you also mentioned that a potential Cap rate that might be indicative of the portfolio that would indicate probably a net asset value for Cedar, you know, some place far above where their stock is trading. And so, I was wondering if a share buyback could be in the cards over the next 18 months?

Yeah, once we execute this plan and our capital structure in a significantly better place, if we still had that opportunity, we might talk about it right now. That’s not something that we’re exploring. Right now, we are really focused on executing this plan and using the proceeds to reduce debt.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Mr. Craig Schmidt with Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Your line is open. You may proceed with your question.

Thank you. I was wondering if you could give us some sense of where the CapEx may fall for the dispositions that you are targeting?

Craig, you know, we are not really selling things that are conducive to evaluation on a cap rate basis other than the assets that we are selling to Homburg, since a lot of these things are land and malls that don’t really yield a lot. As I mentioned on the call, the effective yield on the overall disposition is going to be something around 5% just based on what we described just doing the math of $7 million to $8 million of lost NOI and roughly a $150 million of proceeds, but again net proceeds. But again that's just more of a yield than a cap rate. I mean these factors are really conducive to cap rate type valuation.

Okay and then just as you are streamlining the geography, was there any consideration about disposing the more Central or Western Pennsylvania assets?

Yes. There definitely was, but again some of those were very good assets, and right now at least our focus is much more on honing our focus on our shopping center portfolio, from an asset type perspective and not as much trimming out certain shopping centers within the overall portfolio. So your point is fair and there's no question that the Western Pennsylvania assets could be ones that we take a hard look at once the dust settles on this divestiture program, but right now that's not what we are focusing on.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Mr. Rj Milligan with Raymond James. Your line is now open. You may proceed with your question.

Hi guys. most of my questions have been answered. I was wondering in the portfolio excluding the properties marked for dispositions what's the small shop occupancy?

Well, we are about 84.3 in our small shop occupancy. Rj, its Nancy.

Okay and I guess how does that compare to, say, a year ago? I mean on the call you gave, I guess in your prepared remarks, you said that there was significant room for improvement. Is that from an occupancy perspective, is that a mix in terms of getting the right tenants and where do you see the room for improvement there.

The room for improvement is on the occupancy side. We see – that’s when you think about our overall portfolio being in the low 90’s one to the low 90’s then you think about our small shop space and this is already improvement over where its been, we’re saying that that’s really where there is room for improvement, obviously there is just driving occupancy there would clearly help our cash flow.

And I was wondering if you could give any color on the Board’s thought before we got here and to cut the dividend now versus may be two quarters ago when you guys came in or a quarter when you guys came in and any thoughts there?

Hey Rj its Phil. I can’t really give you color on the Board’s thought before we got here, but you know once we got here really it wasn’t one thing these decisions typically aren’t -- it was a balance of several things. Looking in our fad, looking at our tax needs, the flexibility we needed during that time we executed this plan and as a result of all that we decided to set the target where it’s at.

(Operator Instructions) Ladies and gentlemen, our last question is coming from the line of Mr. Todd Thomas of KeyBanc Capital Markets. Your line is now open.

I am here with Jordan Sadler as well. Bruce, just following up on that small shop leasing and the focus where you know that you expect to report increased occupancy in that segment; what are your plans for the improvements and what are you seeing today that’s giving you that confidence?

Well, it takes time, I am sorry I don’t if anybody on speaker; there is a little bit of an echo there. We’re already starting to make progress there and we’ve launched a number of initiatives that really aren’t worth not getting into in too much detail on this call to give us – that make us optimistic that there we’re going to see occupancy improved or continue to improve on the small shop front and you know the practical reality is that it just takes time between when we get from an LOI to a leased to when occupancy tick-up and so we have just based on the pipeline that we’re seeing a degree of confidence that we’re going to see improvement there.

And then a question for Phil on the balance sheet; how much availability do you have on the lines today, I see that there’s $166 million outstanding with how much dry powder actual availability do you have on those lines that you could draw down on today?

Yeah, I believe today its right around $80 million.

And so, for the new $300 million facility, the $225 million revolver, you know much do you project at closing that you’ll have available with based on the collateral that will be securing the line?

We’ll have to wait for all the new appraisals in order to come in, but it should be a similar borrowing base and we should be able to with the proceeds above and beyond that that’s repay increased availability by about 50. And I think -- and Todd I am looking at right here, I think our current availability is closer to 70.

And then Bruce, a bigger picture of question I guess following up on Paul’s question, assuming the asset sales go as planned and you will down the portfolio to this new portfolio of core assets. What’s your revision or initial thoughts surrounding Cedar’s growth in the future?

I think that some of the answer to that question would be function of where our cost of capital settles out after we get through this whole process. But I think that broadly speaking what you’re going to see from us is a more disciplined approach to how we use our capital and a greater focus on enhancing the value of our assets and mining our existing portfolio for value creation of opportunities. And so again, some of this will be a function of where our cost of capital settles out in terms of the extent to which we can identify acquisition opportunities that makes sense and when we think add shareholder value. But I think one characteristic is you’ll see our company is a much disciplined approach to how we use our capital and you’ll see us realistically mining our portfolio for a lot of the growth that hopefully you’ll see out of the company in the future.

Ladies and gentlemen, our final question is coming from the line of Mr. Nathan Isbee of Stifel Nicolaus. Your line is open. You may proceed with your question.

Just one quick follow-up, the development and redevelopment CapEx number have jumped quite a bit too about $13 million for the quarter; can you just give a little color what was behind that?

Yeah Nathan, its Phil Mays. The majority of that was Trexlertown where we are building out for the signed giant lease there.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end of our question and answer session. I would like to turn the floor back to Mr. Schanzer for any closing remarks.

Thank you for joining us this evening and what we feel is an important call in the history of our company. We realize winning back the trust of the investor community is not accomplished in matter of days or weeks and it’s not achieved with a single earnings call. However, one thing I could tell you is that we expect the coming years to be very rewarding for our company and its stake holders. Have a good evening.

Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today’s conference call. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you very much for your participation. Have a wonderful evening.
