The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases and focuses its investment activities on community and neighborhood shopping centers, anchored principally by regional supermarket chains. The Company believes, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at supermarket-anchored shopping centers, that the nature of its investments provide for relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times. The Company is experiencing and, in fiscal 2013, expects that it may continue to experience a higher level of vacancies, relative to the Company's historical norm, at some of its shopping centers and a lengthening in the time required for releasing of vacant space, as the current economic downturn continues to negatively affect retail companies. However, the Company believes it is well positioned to weather any difficulties it might encounter. The Company currently has 447,000 square feet of vacant space in its property portfolio. Of this vacant space, 235,000 square feet, or 53% of the Company's vacant space, is located in five properties that have been more difficult to lease or are in various stages of redevelopment. Management is confident that the strategy it has in place for each of these five properties will allow the vacant spaces to be leased and the properties to operate more efficiently within the next twelve to twenty-four months. Of the 235,000 square feet vacant in these five properties, the Company:
Once these leases are executed our leased rate will increase by approximately 4%. Income from such leases should accrue to our earnings sometime in fiscal 2013 or fiscal 2014. The Company has a strong capital structure with only $3.2 million in secured debt maturing in the next 12 months. Consistent with its business strategy, the Company expects to continue to explore acquisition opportunities that may arise.
At October 31, 2012, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $78.1 million compared to $4.5 million at October 31, 2011. The Company's sources of liquidity and capital resources include its cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from bank borrowings and long-term mortgage debt, capital financings and sales of real estate investments. Payments of expenses related to real estate operations, debt service, management and professional fees, and dividend requirements place demands on the Company's short-term liquidity.
The net decrease in base rents for properties held during fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 was a result of an increase in rental rates for in-place leases for existing tenants over the periods, additional base rent revenue for newly leased spaces in fiscal 2011 and 2010 that were vacant in parts of fiscal 2010; offset by an increase in vacancies occurring in fiscal 2011 at several of the Company's core properties which resulted in a loss in base rental revenue for fiscal 2011 when compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 2010. During fiscal 2011, the Company leased or renewed leases on approximately 424,000 square feet (or approximately 9.8% of total consolidated property leasable area). At October 31, 2011, the Company's core properties were 90.5% leased. Overall core property occupancy was relatively unchanged from the end of fiscal 2010 and was 89.8% at October 31, 2011.
