Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Trust” or “REIT”) is a Maryland corporation formed on June 23, 2011. The Trust serves as the general partner of Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) which was formed as a Virginia limited partnership on April 5, 2012. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Trust, through the Operating Partnership, owned and operated eleven properties in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Oklahoma. Accordingly, the use of the words “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to the Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.

The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) are unaudited. However, amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. All material balances and transactions between the consolidated and combined entities of the Company have been eliminated. You should read these condensed consolidated and combined financial statements in conjunction with our 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”).

Tenant Receivables and Unbilled Rent

Tenant receivables include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. The Company determines an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. The Company considers a receivable past due once it becomes delinquent per the terms of the lease. Our standard lease form considers a rent charge past due after five days. A past due receivable triggers certain events such as notices, fees and other allowable and required actions per the lease. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts totaled $90,250 (unaudited) and $75,250, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded bad debt expenses in the amount of $15,000 and $0, respectively, related to tenant receivables that were specifically identified as potentially uncollectible based on an assessment of the tenant’s credit-worthiness. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not realize any recoveries related to tenant receivables previously charged off.

Deferred Costs and Other Assets

The Company’s deferred costs and other assets consists primarily of internal and external leasing commissions, fees incurred in order to obtain long-term financing, leases in place intangible assets and various property escrow accounts for real estate taxes, insurance and tenant improvements and replacements. The Company records amortization of financing costs using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective loans or agreements. The Company’s lease origination costs consist primarily of commissions paid in connection with lease originations. The Company records amortization of lease origination costs on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The Company’s leases in place intangible asset relates to values assigned leases associated with acquired properties. Leases in place are amortized over the term of the respective leases. Details of these deferred costs, net of amortization and other assets are as follows:

Amortization of lease origination costs and in place leases represents a component of depreciation and amortization expense. The Company reports amortization of financing costs, amortization of premiums, and accretion of discounts as part of interest expense. Future amortization of lease origination costs, financing costs and in place leases is as follows:

Income Taxes

The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to REIT qualification. In order to maintain this REIT status, the regulations require the Company to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to stockholders and meet certain other asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. Thus, the Company made no provision for federal income taxes for the REIT in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates for the years in which it failed to qualify. If the Company loses its REIT status it could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four years unless the Company’s failure to qualify was due to a reasonable cause and certain other conditions were satisfied.

Use of Estimates

The Company has made 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 revenues and expenses during the reported period. The Company’s actual results could differ from these estimates.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests is the portion of equity in the Operating Partnership not attributable to a parent. The ownership interests not held by the parent are considered noncontrolling interests. Accordingly, we have reported noncontrolling interests in equity on the March 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet but separate from the Company’s equity. On the March 31, 2013 consolidated statement of operations, the subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amount, including both the amount attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. The consolidated statement of changes in equity include beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity.

Investment properties consist of the following:

A significant portion of the Company’s land, buildings and improvements serve as collateral for its mortgage loans payable portfolio. Accordingly, restrictions exist as to the encumbered property’s transferability, use and other common rights typically associated with property ownership.

On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into a contract to purchase a 75,000 square foot free-standing grocery store located in the Bixby Commons shopping center in Bixby, Oklahoma for a purchase price of approximately $10.60 million. The property is stabilized by a 20-year, triple-net lease expiring in 2032 with Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“Associated”), a retailer-owned cooperative serving over 1,900 retail member stores with a complete assortment of grocery and general merchandise items. Associated subleases the property to Reasor’s Foods under a similar lease arrangement. The Company is conducting the due diligence process and anticipates the contract will close in the second quarter.

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes. The Company believes that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position or its results of operations. The Company records a liability when it considers the loss probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

The Company is involved in a lawsuit whereby the Company originally sued a prospective tenant for breach of contract related to an executed lease. The court found in favor of the defendant and assessed damages against the Company of $13,300. The defendant’s attorney has applied to the court to be reimbursed legal fees incurred by the defendant of approximately $368,000. The Company is responding to the litigation and intends to appeal and contest the ruling vigorously.

Executive Overview

The March 31, 2013 three month period represents our first full quarter as a publicly-traded company since completing our initial public offering and formation transaction on November 16, 2012. Additionally, the March 31, 2013 three month period includes a full quarter of operations related to the three properties we acquired during December 2012. Conversely, the March 2012 three month period only includes the combined operations of our predecessor as described in our Registration Statement. In providing the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations, we have separately identified the activities of our predecessor (same stores) and of those related to properties acquired as part of and subsequent to our formation transactions (new stores). This illustrates the significant impact the properties acquired as part of and subsequent to our formation transactions had on our results of operations.

On May 10, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase contract with a related party to acquire the Starbucks/Verizon building located in the Fairfield Shopping Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia for a purchase price of approximately $1.39 million. The property is a 5,600 square foot 100% leased free-standing building that was significantly renovated during 2012 to accommodate a Starbucks coffeehouse and a Verizon Wireless store. The Starbucks coffeehouse occupies approximately 2,165 square feet of the building under a 10 year, 5 month lease expiring in 2023 which includes three renewal options. The Verizon Wireless store occupies approximately 3,435 square feet of the building under a 10 year lease expiring in 2022 which includes three renewal options. The property is subject to a 10 year ground lease with Fairfield Shopping Center, a related party, expiring in 2022.

Leasing Activity

Renewals during the first quarter of 2013 were comprised of three deals totaling 7,539 square feet with a weighted average decrease of $0.22 per square foot. There were no tenant improvement concessions offered for these deals, and the commission rate per square foot equated to $1.80. The rates on negotiated renewals resulted in a weighted average increase of $0.54 per square foot on two renewals and a $1.29 per square foot decrease on one renewal. Two of these renewals represented options being exercised.

We entered into a relocation and expansion agreement with one tenant that resulted in a $1.76 decrease in their per square foot rent, but will result in annual rental income at the center increasing approximately $17,000. We also had one lease assignment for a 1,851 square foot space with all lease terms remaining the same. There were no leases that expired during the period that were not renewed by the tenant.

Approximately 5.64% of our gross leasable area is subject to leases that expire during the twelve months ending March 31, 2014. Based on recent market trends, we believe that these leases will be renewed at amounts and terms comparable to existing lease agreements.

Financing Activities

The Riversedge North loan matured on April 16, 2013. The loan has been extended until August 15, 2013 while we decide our course of action on the loan. We anticipate being able to refinance this loan at terms that are at least comparable to those that currently exist.

On April 19, 2013, we entered in a promissory note for $6.5 million to refinance the Shoppes at TJ Maxx loan that matured on that date. The new loan matures on May 1, 2020 and requires monthly principal and interest payments based on a 25 year amortization and a 3.88% fixed interest rate.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our 2012 Form 10-K under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2013. For disclosure regarding recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated impact they will have on our operations, please refer to Note 2 in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Results of Operations

The following table presents a comparison of the consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively (the “2013 period” and “2012 period”, respectively).

Same Store and New Store Operating Income

The following table provides same store and new store financial information. The discussion below primarily focuses on same store results of operations since all our acquisitions (new stores) during the past twelve months occurred during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Property Revenues

Total same store property revenues for the 2013 period were $497,772 compared to $529,843 for the 2012 period, representing a decrease of $32,071, or 6.05%. Same store revenues decreased primarily due to the amount and timing of prior year tenant reimbursement reconciliation adjustments. Additionally, one of the same store properties is paying their utility expenses directly as compared to it being charged through tenant reimbursements in the 2012 period. Same store base rent revenues benefited from contractual rent adjustments which resulted in an increase of approximately $13,200, or 3.33%.

The 2013 period represents the first full quarter of operations reported for the new store properties. While new store property revenues include approximately $149,200 of below market lease amortization during the 2013 period, they generate a significant amount of revenue for the Company and we will benefit from future contractual rent increases on these properties.

Table of Contents

Property Expenses

Total same store operating expenses for the 2013 period declined $15,043, or 13.06%, to $100,134, compared to $115,177 for the 2012 period. The decrease was primarily due to declines in repairs and maintenance and utility expenses which typically fluctuate from period to period depending on timing and weather. Additionally, one of the same store properties is paying their utility expenses directly as compared to it being charged through tenant reimbursements in the 2012 period.

There were no significant unusual or non-recurring items included in new store property expenses for the 2013 period.

Other Operating Expenses

Same store other operating expenses for the 2013 period were $623,101, representing a $266,188 increase over the 2012 period. We incurred $328,151 in additional corporate general and administrative expenses primarily associated with increases in professional fees and other expenses as a result of being a publicly traded company. These costs included approximately $105,000 paid for the external management of the Company.

Same store depreciation and amortization expense for the 2013 period decreased $61,963, or 33.20%, resulting from more assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized. The new store allowance for loan loss relates to a tenant that has been significantly impacted by the economic downturn. While we are in the process of relocating the tenant and restructuring their lease, we consider the $15,000 uncollectible.

Interest Expense

Same store interest expense declined $37,616, or 19.01%, to $160,288 for the 2013 period, compared to $197,904 for the 2012 period. The decrease primarily resulted from the payoff of a $320,000 loan during November 2012, a principal curtailment of approximately of $511,000 during December 2012 on an existing loan and the impact of declining balances on outstanding debt.

Funds from Operations

Below is a comparison of same store Funds from Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP measurement, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

During the 2013 period, same store FFO decreased $307,563 as compared to the 2012 period. The primary factor impacting same store FFO was the $328,151 increase in same store corporate general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2013, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.05 million compared to consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $2.05 million at December 31, 2012. Cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Operating Activities

During the 2013 period, our cash flows used in operating activities were $74,638, compared to cash flows from operating activities of $25,383 during the 2012 period. Operating cash flows were primarily impacted by the $339,187 increase in our consolidated net loss due to the factors discussed in the Results of Operations section above, specifically the $413,490 increase in total corporate general and administrative expenses associated with operating the REIT and the addition of six properties during the fourth quarter of 2012. We benefited from approximately $429,897 of FFO, which is a non-GAAP measurement, contributed by the properties acquired in the fourth quarter and other normal fluctuations in operations (See Funds from Operations reconciliation to net income above).

Investing Activities

During the 2013 period, our cash flows used in investing activities were $110,797, compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $19,729 during the 2012 period. The increase primarily related to approximately $108,000 of capital expenditures incurred to replace a roof at one of our new properties.

Financing Activities

During the 2013 period, our cash flows used in financing activities were $814,277, compared to $62,418 of cash flows from financing activities during the 2012 period. During the 2012 period, we received $229,000 of proceeds from the sale of preferred stock used to cover expenses related to our formation and the offering. Additionally, distributions increased to $613,989 in the 2013 period from $63,042 during the 2012 period as a result of the $0.035 monthly dividend currently being paid to our investors.

Mortgage indebtedness activity during the 2013 period includes the refinancing of a $3.87 million loan that matured during the period with a new $4.0 million loan. Excluding the net impact of the refinancing transaction, principal payments on mortgage indebtedness increased to approximately $130,000 during the 2013 period from $60,890 during the 2012 period, primarily related to approximately $63,000 associated with principal payments for the new stores.

We intend to continue managing our debt prudently so as to maintain a conservative capital structure and minimize leverage within our company. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our debt balances consisted of the following:

The weighted average interest rate and term of our fixed-rate debt are 5.47% and 2.94 years, respectively, at March 31, 2013. On April 19, 2013, we entered in a promissory note for $6.5 million to refinance the Shoppes at TJ Maxx loan that matured on that date. The new loan matures on May 1, 2020 and requires monthly principal and interest payments based on a 25 year amortization and a 3.88% fixed interest rate. We have $2.10 million of debt maturing during the 12 year ending March 31, 2014. While we anticipate being able to refinance our maturing loans at reasonable market terms upon maturity, our inability to do so may materially impact our financial position and results of operations. See the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional mortgage indebtedness details.

Future Liquidity Needs

The $2.10 million in debt maturities, ongoing debt service and the $0.42 per share targeted annual dividend we are currently paying represent the most significant factors outside of normal operating activities impacting cash flow over the next year. Our success in refinancing the debt and executing on our growth strategy will dictate our liquidity needs going forward. If we are unable to execute in these areas, our ability to grow and pay future dividends may be limited without additional capital.

In addition to liquidity required to fund debt payments, distributions and acquisitions, we may incur some level of capital expenditures during the year for the existing eleven properties that cannot be passed on to our tenants. The majority of these expenditures occur subsequent to acquiring a new property that requires significant improvements to maximize occupancy and lease rates, with an existing property that needs a facelift to improve its marketability or when tenant improvements are required to make a space fit a particular tenant’s needs. Significant capital expenditures could also impact our ability to grow and pay future dividends.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2013, we were not involved in any significant off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.
