--  FFO applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended
    June 30, 2009, including the above net charges, was a loss of $166.5
    million, or $1.15 per diluted share, which compares to revised FFO of $95.9
    million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period.
    Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended
    June 30, 2009 was $237.2 million or $1.64 per diluted share, which compares
    to revised net income of $26.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the
    prior-year comparable period.

--  FFO applicable to common shareholders for the six-month period ended
    June 30, 2009, including the above net charges, was a loss of $26.5
    million, or $0.19 per diluted share, which compares to revised FFO of
    $192.2 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable
    period.  Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the six-month
    period ended June 30, 2009 was $160.3 million, or $1.18 per diluted share,
    which compares to revised net income of $55.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted
    share, for the prior-year comparable period.

--  The 2008 results for both the three- and six-month periods ended June
    30, 2008 have been revised to reflect the change in accounting relating to
    convertible debt.  This change resulted in additional non-cash interest
    expense of $3.3 million for both  three-month periods ended June 30, 2009
    and 2008, and $7.1 million and $6.5 million for the six-month periods ended
    June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

--  Executed leases during the second quarter of 2009 totaled a Company
    record of approximately 3.1 million square feet, including 147 new leases
    and 259 renewals.

--  On a cash basis, base rental rates on new leases and renewals
    decreased 4.7% overall.

--  Core portfolio leased percentage at June 30, 2009 was 90.7%,
    consistent with the level at March 31, 2009.

--  Same store net operating income ("NOI") for the quarter decreased 5.0%
    over the prior-year comparable period.  The decrease in same store NOI is
    primarily related to the bankruptcies and subsequent store closings of
    Circuit City, Linens 'N Things, Goody's and Steve & Barry's.
    

Scott A. Wolstein, Developers Diversified's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our second quarter 2009 operating results came in as expected despite the continued challenging environment. Our portfolio's leased rate remained stable, and leasing activity remained robust with deals for over 3 million square feet of space being executed.

"Our de-leveraging plans remain on track and we remain intensely focused on executing upon our capital raising and debt reducing initiatives. Our activities to date have addressed our 2009 and 2010 maturities, and we have a capital plan in place that addresses our 2011 and 2012 needs well before maturity."

Financial Results:

Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $237.2 million, or $1.64 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to revised net income of $26.1 million, or $0.22 per share (diluted and basic), for the prior-year comparable period.

FFO applicable to common shareholders was a loss of $166.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to revised FFO income of $95.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, FFO per share was a loss of $1.15 (diluted and basic) compared to revised FFO income of $0.79 (diluted and basic) for the prior-year comparable period. The decrease in net income and reported loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, is primarily the result of $240.0 million of net charges, mainly non cash as detailed above, in addition to several tenant bankruptcies in late 2008 and early 2009, also discussed above.

Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $160.3 million, or $1.18 per share (diluted and basic), for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to revised net income of $55.7 million, or $0.46 per share (diluted and basic), for the prior-year comparable period.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, FFO per share was a loss of $0.19 (diluted and basic) compared to revised FFO income of $1.59 (diluted and basic) for the prior-year comparable period.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO more appropriately measures the core operations of the Company and provides a benchmark to its peer group. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude: (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company's merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from non-controlling interests and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner. FFO excluding the non-operating charges detailed above is useful to investors as the Company removes these charges to analyze the results of operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is presented in the financial highlights section.

Leasing:

The following results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio despite the current economic environment:

--  Executed 147 new leases aggregating approximately 0.9 million square
    feet and 259 renewals aggregating approximately 2.2 million square feet.

--  On a cash basis, rental rates for new leases and renewals decreased
    4.7%.

--  Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot,
    excluding assets in Brazil, as of June 30, 2009 was $12.49, as compared to
    $12.41 at June 30, 2008.

--  Core portfolio leased rate was 90.7% as of June 30, 2009, as compared
    to 95.5% at June 30, 2008 and 90.7% at March 31, 2009.
    

Overall, the Company is encouraged by the leasing activity achieved during the second quarter. On a square foot basis, these leasing results represent the greatest level of production in the history of the Company. While the resulting rental spreads are much less favorable than what the Company has historically achieved, it should be no surprise that rental rates are under pressure as bankruptcy driven vacancy has increased across the retail sector.

Total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures for the Company and its joint ventures are estimated to be approximately $32 million ($0.27 per square foot of owned GLA) in 2009 calculated based on 100% of the funding.

Strategic Transactions:

On February 23, 2009, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Mr. Alexander Otto (the "Investor") to issue and sell 30 million common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $112.5 million to the Investor and certain members of his family (collectively with the Investor, the "Otto Family"). In addition, the Company will issue warrants to purchase up to 10 million common shares with an exercise price of $6.00 per share to the Otto Family. The share issuance, together with the warrants issuances are collectively referred to as the "Otto Transaction". Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company will also issue additional common shares to the Otto Family in an amount equal to any dividends declared, associated with the issuance of common shares, by the Company after February 23, 2009 and prior to the applicable closing of the stock purchase by the Investor. On April 9, 2009, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the common shares and warrants to the Otto Family pursuant to the Otto Transaction. The transaction will occur in two closings. The second closing with the Otto Family is contracted to close before October 9, 2009. On May 11, 2009, the Company issued and sold 15.0 million shares and warrants to purchase 5.0 million common shares to the Otto Family for a purchase price of $52.5 million. The Company also issued an additional 1,071,428 shares as a result of the first quarter 2009 dividend to the Otto Family associated with the initial 15.0 million shares. In June 2009, the Otto Family earned the right to receive an additional 1,787,304 shares relating to the 2009 dividends declared to date associated with the second tranche of 15.0 million shares.

The shareholders' approval of the Otto Transaction in April 2009 resulted in a "potential change in control" under the Company's equity-based award plans. In addition, when the Otto Family acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common shares as expected, a "change in control" will be deemed to have occurred under the Company's equity deferred compensation plans. In accordance with the equity-based award plans, all unvested stock options became fully exercisable and all restrictions on unvested shares lapsed, and, in accordance with the equity deferred compensation plans, it is expected that all unvested deferred stock units will become vested and no longer subject to forfeiture. As such, in April 2009, the Company recorded an accelerated non-cash charge of approximately $10.5 million in accordance with SFAS 123(R) related to these equity awards. The Company expects to record an additional non-cash charge of $4.7 million upon the occurrence of the change in control later in 2009 upon the closing of the second tranche of shares to the Otto Family.

In addition, the shares and warrants were required to be recognized at fair value in April 2009 and marked-to-market through earnings thereafter until settlement or expiration. As a result, the Company reported an aggregate non-cash loss of $80.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, relating to the valuation adjustments associated with these instruments in the second quarter of 2009, due to the appreciation in share price.

Dispositions:

The Company sold nine properties, aggregating 1.0 million square feet, in the second quarter of 2009, generating gross proceeds of $82.4 million. The Company recorded an aggregate loss on sale of approximately $36.3 million related to these assets. The Company's joint ventures sold four properties, aggregating 0.4 million square feet in the second quarter of 2009, generating gross proceeds of $30.8 million.

The Company sold an additional four properties to date in the third quarter of 2009 generating gross proceeds of approximately $48.2 million. Impairment charges of $16.1 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2009 relating to these assets.

Dividends:

The Company's second quarter dividend was paid in a combination of cash and the Company's common shares. The aggregate amount of cash paid to shareholders on July 21, 2009, was limited to 10% of the total dividend paid. The Company issued approximately 6.1 million common shares based on volume weighted average trading prices of $4.49 per share and paid $3.1 million in cash. This payout initiative is consistent with the first quarter dividend payout and is a part of the Company's strategy to further enhance liquidity and maximize free cash flow while continuing to maintain its REIT status.

Financings:

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company purchased approximately $212.7 million face amount of its outstanding senior notes at a discount to par resulting in a gross gain of approximately $54.1 million. This gain was reduced by approximately $8.2 million due to the adoption of FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion", on January 1, 2009 ("Convertible Debt Restatement").

In July 2009, the Company obtained a $17 million of mortgage debt from a life insurance company on two shopping centers at a 6% interest rate and maturing in 2017.

In May 2009, the Company completed an $85 million, 10-year loan secured by four assets in Puerto Rico with a fixed interest coupon rate of 7.59%. Also, in May 2009, the Company completed a $40 million, two-year secured loan with a one-year extension option. The loan has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 600 basis points with a LIBOR floor of 2.5%.

A $60 million six-month bridge loan funded by the Otto Family in March 2009 was converted in May 2009 into a five-year fixed-rate term loan with a 9% interest rate.

(A) Base and percentage rental revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the prior-year comparable period, decreased $25.4 million primarily due to store closings related to five major tenant bankruptcies which aggregated $23.1 million, the most significant of which related to the assets formerly occupied by Mervyns, which is 50% owned by the Company through a consolidated joint venture. There was also a decrease of $2.9 million in straight line rental income, a majority of which is related to major tenant bankruptcies and a $0.2 million decrease related to the Company's business centers. These decreases were off set by net increased leasing activity of $0.8 million. Included in rental revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, is approximately $1.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of revenue resulting from the recognition of straight-line rents, including discontinued operations.

(B) Other income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was comprised of the following (in millions):

(C) The Company recorded impairment charges on consolidated assets that are either under contract or being marketed for sale as the book basis of the assets was in excess of the estimated fair market value. Of this amount, $61.0 million related to impairment charges on 13 assets formerly occupied by Mervyns, of which the Company's proportionate share was $29.7 million after adjusting for the allocation of the loss to the non- controlling interest in this consolidated joint venture. An additional $25.1 million (see footnote I) was reported as a component of discontinued operations relating to those assets classified as held for sale pursuant to SFAS No. 144 and $36.0 million was reflected as actual loss on sale as part of discontinued operations.

In addition, the Company recorded an approximate $40.3 million in impairment charges associated with joint venture investments in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investment in Common Stock." These charges primarily related to the Company's investments in the Coventry II joint ventures.

(D) General and administrative expenses include internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expenses associated with the releasing of space, which are charged to operations as incurred. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, general and administrative expenses were approximately 5.4% and 4.4% of total revenues, including joint venture revenues, respectively. In the second quarter, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $10.5 million as a result of the potential change in control provisions included in the Company's equity-based award plans triggered from the shareholder approval of the Otto Transaction, as previously discussed. Excluding this charge, general and administrative expenses were 4.2% of total revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

(E) In 2009, the Company adopted FSP APB 14-1. The adoption of this FSP required the Company to restate its interest expense and record a non-cash interest-related charge of $3.3 million and $6.5 million, net of capitalized interest, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The Company recorded non-cash interest expense of approximately $3.3 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, in accordance with this new accounting standard.

(F) Represents the impact of the valuation adjustments for the equity derivative instruments issued as part of the Otto Transaction. The total non-cash charge includes a $38.0 million expense recognized on the 16.1 million shares issued to the Otto Family in May 2009. The level of expense recognized primarily relates to the difference between the closing trading value of the Company's common shares of $3.12 on April 9, 2009, which was less than closing trading value of the Company's common shares on the May 11, 2009 issuance date of $5.48. The balance of the $80.0 million expense included $31.7 million recognized on the valuation adjustment of the second tranche of 15.0 million common shares expected to be issued later in 2009 including the impact of declared dividends payable in common shares, as well as $10.3 million relating to the warrant valuation adjustments.

(G) Other expenses primarily related to a reserve associated with a mezzanine note receivable of $5.4 million as well as litigation-related expenditures, the write off of costs related to abandoned development projects and costs incurred for transactions that are not expected to close.

In June 2008, 0.5 million operating partnership units were converted into
an equivalent number of common shares of the Company.

(K) For purposes of computing FFO per share (basic), the weighted average shares outstanding were adjusted to reflect the assumed conversion of approximately 0.4 million Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units") outstanding at June 30, 2009 and 2008, into 0.4 million common shares for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 0.8 million common shares for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, on a weighted average basis. The weighted average diluted shares and OP Units outstanding, for purposes of computing FFO were approximately 144.6 million and 120.8 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and 136.9 million and 120.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
