Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing and financing activities:
At September 30, 2011, dividends payable were $23.6 million. In September 2011, the Company acquired $107.2 million of real estate
assets (Note 3) and approximately $13.4 million of intangible assets and other assets. A portion of the consideration used to acquire the assets included assumed debt of $67.0 million and accounts payable and other liabilities aggregating
approximately $9.2 million. In conjunction with the acquisition of its partners interests in two shopping centers (Note 3), the Company reversed its previously held equity interest by increasing Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures by
approximately $7.8 million as the investment basis was negative, increased net real estate assets by approximately $34.8 million for its previously held proportionate share of the assets, and assumed debt of approximately $50.1 million. At
September 30, 2011, in accordance with ASC 810, the Company deconsolidated one asset. This deconsolidation resulted in a reduction of real estate assets, net of approximately $14.0 million and mortgages payable of approximately $18.3 million.
In addition, in March 2011, warrants were exercised for an aggregate of 10 million common shares. The Equity Derivative Liability Affiliate of $74.3 million was reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in capital upon
exercise. In conjunction with the redemption of the Companys Class G cumulative redeemable preferred shares, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to net income available to common shareholders of $6.4 million related to the
write-off of the original issuance costs. The foregoing transactions did not provide for or require the use of cash for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011.
At September 30, 2010, dividends payable were $12.0 million. The Company deconsolidated one entity in connection with the adoption of the consolidation rules effective January 1, 2010. This
resulted in a reduction to real estate assets, net, of approximately $28.7 million, an increase to Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures of approximately $8.4 million, a reduction in non-controlling interests of approximately
$12.4 million and an increase to Accumulated Distributions in Excess of Net Income of approximately $7.8 million. In addition, the Company foreclosed on its interest

in a note receivable secured by a development project resulting in an increase to real estate assets and a decrease to notes receivable of approximately $19.0 million. At September 30,
2010, in accordance with ASC 810, 26 assets were deconsolidated. This deconsolidation resulted in a reduction of real estate assets, net of approximately $156.3 million, restricted cash of approximately $5.2 million, and mortgages payable
by approximately $166.7 million. In addition, non-controlling interests increased by $3.9 million as a result of the deconsolidation. The foregoing transactions did not provide for or require the use of cash for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2010.

DDR Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
|
DDR Corp. and its related real estate joint ventures and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or
DDR) are primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, expanding, owning, developing, redeveloping, leasing, managing and operating shopping centers. Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or DDR include DDR Corp.,
its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and its consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
Principles of
Consolidation
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification No. 810,
Consolidation
(ASC 810). This standard requires a company to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). This analysis
identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIEs economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to
receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIEs performance, this standard requires a company to assess
whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Companys investments in consolidated real estate
joint ventures that are deemed to be VIEs in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary have total real estate assets of $315.5 million and $374.2 million, respectively, mortgages of $23.5 million and $42.9 million, respectively, and
other liabilities of $13.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively.
In August 2011, one of the Companys consolidated
joint venture entities, which owns a mall in Martinsville, Virginia was transferred to the control of a court-appointed receiver. As a result, the Company no longer has a controlling financial interest in the entity. Consequently, the entity was
deconsolidated as the Company was no longer in control. Upon deconsolidation, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $4.7 million because the carrying value of the non-recourse debt exceeded the carrying value of the collateralized asset of
the joint venture. Following the appointment of the receiver, the Company no longer has any effective economic rights or obligations in this entity. The revenues and expenses associated with the entity for all of the periods presented, including the
$4.7 million gain, are classified within discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (Note 13). Subsequent to the deconsolidation of this joint venture, the Company accounts for its retained interest in this joint
venture investment, which approximates zero at September 30, 2011, under the cost method of accounting because the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
statement of the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

New Accounting Standards
Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued guidance on
the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity, which is the Companys current presentation,
and also requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15,
2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations, though it will change the Companys financial statement presentation.

(A)
|
Increase in cash from December 31, 2010, is primarily driven by Sonae Sierra Brasil and proceeds generated from the February 2011 initial public offering.
|
|
(B)
|
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, impairment charges were recorded on four assets being marketed for sale of which the Companys
proportionate share was approximately $6.2 million.
|
|
(C)
|
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, impairment charges aggregating $8.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively, were reclassified to
discontinued operations.
|
|
(D)
|
Gain on debt forgiveness is related to one property owned by an unconsolidated joint venture that was transferred to the lender pursuant to a consensual foreclosure
proceeding. The operations of the asset have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the condensed combined statements of operations presented.
|
|
(E)
|
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, gain on disposition of discontinued operations includes the sale of three properties by three of the Companys
unconsolidated joint ventures. The Companys proportionate share of the aggregate gain for the assets sold for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $10.5 million.
|
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, loss on disposition of discontinued operations includes the sale of 25 properties by
four separate unconsolidated joint ventures, of which four were sold in the third quarter of 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2009, these joint ventures recorded impairment charges aggregating $170.9 million related to certain of these asset sales.
The Companys proportionate share of the loss on sales for the assets sold during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, was approximately $2.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
|
(F)
|
The difference between the Companys share of net loss, as reported above, and the amounts included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is
attributable to the amortization of basis differentials, deferred gains and differences in gain (loss) on sale of certain assets due to the basis differentials and other than temporary impairment charges. The Company is not recording income or loss
from those investments in which its investment basis is zero and the Company does not have the obligation or intent to fund any additional capital. Adjustments to the Companys share of joint venture net loss for these items are reflected as

This amount represents the aggregate difference between the Companys historical cost basis and the equity basis reflected at the joint venture
level. Basis differentials recorded upon transfer of assets are primarily associated
|
- 12 -
|
with assets previously owned by the Company that have been transferred into an unconsolidated joint venture at fair value. Other basis differentials occur primarily when the Company has purchased
interests in existing unconsolidated joint ventures at fair market values, which differ from its proportionate share of the historical net assets of the unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, certain transaction and other costs, including
capitalized interest, reserves on notes receivable as discussed below and impairments of the Companys investments that were other than temporary may not be reflected in the net assets at the joint venture level. Certain basis differentials
indicated above are amortized over the life of the related assets.

The Company has made advances to several joint ventures that bear annual interest at rates ranging from 10.5% to 12.0%. The Company advanced financing of $66.9 million,
which includes accrued interest of $8.8 million, to one of the Coventry II Fund joint ventures, Coventry II DDR Bloomfield, related to a development project in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (the Bloomfield Loan). This loan
accrues interest at a base rate of the greater of LIBOR plus 700 basis points or 12% and a default rate of 16% and has a stated maturity of July 2011. This loan is in default and was fully reserved by the Company in 2008. During the second
quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a $1.6 million reserve associated with a $4.3 million construction loan advanced to a 50% owned joint venture. The impairment was driven by the deterioration in value of the real estate collateral supporting the
note. The stated terms are payable on demand from available cash flow from the property after debt service on the first mortgage. The reserve is classified as an impairment of joint venture investments in the condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011.

Sonae Sierra Brasil
In February 2011, the Companys unconsolidated joint venture, Sonae Sierra Brasil (BM&FBOVESPA: SSBR3), completed an initial public offering of its common shares on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange.
The total proceeds raised of approximately US$280 million from the initial public offering will be used primarily to fund future developments and expansions, as well as repay a loan from its parent company, in which DDR owns a 50% interest. The
Companys share of the loan repayment proceeds, which were received during the first quarter of 2011, was approximately US$22.4 million. As a result of the initial public offering, the Companys effective ownership interest in Sonae Sierra
Brasil was reduced from 48% to approximately 33%.
Other Joint Venture Interests
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company acquired its partners 50% ownership interests in two shopping centers (Note 3).
In the second quarter of 2011, a 50% owned joint venture sold a shopping center asset to a third party for gross proceeds of
$50.3 million. The gain recorded by the joint venture was $22.8 million, of which the Companys share was $12.6 million, which includes the recognition of a previously recorded deferred gain that was associated with the initial formation of the
joint venture.
- 13 -
In September 2011, the Company acquired three shopping centers, in two separate transactions, aggregating
0.5 million square feet of Company-owned gross leasable area (GLA) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110.0 million through the use of cash and assumed debt of $67.0 million at a fair market value of approximately
$71.4 million.
In January and March 2011, in two separate transactions, the Company acquired its partners 50% ownership
interests in two shopping centers for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million. The Company acquired these assets pursuant to the terms of the respective underlying joint venture agreements. After closing, the Company repaid one mortgage note
payable with a principal amount of $29.2 million in total and refinanced the other mortgage with a new $21.0 million, eleven-year mortgage note payable. As a result of the transactions, the Company owns 100% of the two shopping centers with an
aggregate gross value of approximately $80.0 million. Due to the change in control that occurred, the Company recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $22.7 million associated with the acquisitions related to the difference between the
Companys carrying value and fair value of its previously held equity interest on the respective acquisition date.
Upon
acquisition of properties, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements and intangible assets generally consisting of: (i) above- and below-market leases; (ii) in-place
leases; and (iii) tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a gross basis based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. In estimating the fair value of the
tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence, marketing and leasing activities and uses various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections
using appropriate discount and capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation and other available market information. Above- and below-market lease values are recorded based
on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) managements estimate
of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the estimated term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for
below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base
rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the estimated terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based
on managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease portfolio and the Companys overall relationship with anchor tenants. Such amounts are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the weighted
average remaining initial term (and expected renewal periods for tenant relationships). The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

The Company has notes receivable, including accrued interest, that are collateralized by certain rights in development
projects, partnership interests, sponsor guaranties and real estate assets. Notes receivable include certain loans that are held for investment and are generally collateralized by real estate related investments. Loan receivables are recorded at
stated principal amounts or at initial investment plus accretable yield for loans purchased at a discount. The Company defers certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the
related loan. The Company considers notes receivable to be past-due or delinquent when a contractually required principal or interest payment is not remitted in accordance with the provisions of the underlying agreement. The Company evaluates the
collectability of both interest and principal on each loan based on an assessment of the underlying collateral to determine whether it is impaired, and not by using internal risk ratings. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current
information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded
investment to the value of the underlying collateral. As the underlying collateral for a majority of the notes receivable are real estate related investments, the same valuation techniques are utilized to value the collateral as those used to
determine the fair value of real estate investments for impairment purposes. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when,
- 16 -
based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Interest income on performing
loans is accrued as earned. Interest income on non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis. Recognition of interest income on an accrual basis is resumed when it is probable that the Company will be able to collect amounts due
according to the contractual terms.

Revolving Credit Facilities
The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by JP Morgan Securities,
LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the Unsecured Credit Facility). In June 2011, the Company amended the Unsecured Credit Facility and reduced the availability from $950 million to $750 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility maturity
date was extended by two additional years from February 2014 to February 2016 and the current interest rate changed from LIBOR plus 275 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 basis points. The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $750
million, if certain financial covenants are maintained, and an accordion feature for expansion of availability to $1.25 billion upon the Companys request, provided that new or existing lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility
and increase their commitment level. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option on periodic interest rates for up to 50% of the facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility also provides for an annual facility fee, that was reduced
in June 2011 from 50 basis points to 35 basis points on the entire facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility also allows for foreign currency-denominated borrowings. At September 30, 2011, the Company had US$26.3 million of Euro borrowings and
US$58.6 million of Canadian dollar borrowings outstanding.
The Company also maintains a $65 million unsecured revolving
credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, that also was amended in June 2011 (the PNC Facility and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Facilities). The PNC Facility reflects terms
consistent with those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility.
The Companys borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facilities bear interest at variable rates at the Companys election, based on either (i) the prime rate plus a specified spread (0.65% at September 30, 2011), as defined in the facility, or (ii) LIBOR, plus a specified spread
(1.65% at September 30, 2011). The specified spreads vary depending on the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poors (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service (Moodys).
The Company is required to comply with certain covenants relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets, unencumbered debt yield and fixed charge coverage. The Company was in
compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2011.
Term Loan
The Company maintains a collateralized term loan with a syndicate of financial institutions, for which KeyBank National Association serves
as the administrative agent (the Term Loan). The Company amended the Term Loan in June 2011 and reduced the amount outstanding from $550 million to $500 million with an accordion feature of up to $600 million. The amended Term Loan
matures in September 2014 with a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a specified spread based on the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt rating (1.7% at
September 30, 2011). The collateral for the Term Loan is real estate assets, or investment interests in certain assets, that are already encumbered by first mortgage loans. The Company is required to comply with covenants similar to those
contained in the Revolving Credit Facilities. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2011.
- 19 -
In March 2011, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior unsecured notes, due April
2018. The notes were offered to investors at a discount to par of 99.315%, resulting in an effective interest rate of 4.86%.
Cash Flow and Fair Value Hedges
In June 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100.0 million. This swap was executed to hedge a portion of interest rate risk associated with variable-rate
borrowings. The swap converts LIBOR into a fixed rate on the Term Loan.
In March 2011, the Company entered into an interest
rate swap with a notional amount of $85.0 million, which will decrease with the associated principal amortization of the hedged debt. This swap was executed to hedge a portion of interest rate risk associated with variable-rate borrowings. The swap
converts LIBOR into a fixed rate for seven-year mortgage debt entered into in 2011.
In March 2011, the Company terminated an
interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The swap converted LIBOR into a fixed rate on the Companys Revolving Credit Facilities. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of the termination date was not material.
In February 2011, the Company entered into treasury locks with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million. The
treasury locks were terminated in connection with the issuance of the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in March 2011, resulting in a payment of approximately $2.2 million to the counterparty. The treasury locks were executed
to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with forecasted interest payments associated with the then-anticipated issuance of fixed-rate borrowings. The effective portion of these hedging relationships has been deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the debt as an adjustment to earnings.
Measurement of Fair Value
At September 30, 2011, the Company used pay-fixed interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in benchmark interest rates (the Swaps). The valuation of these instruments is
determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The Company determined that the significant inputs used to value its derivatives fell within Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.

The unrealized loss of $4.6 million included in other comprehensive loss (OCI) is attributable to the
net change in unrealized gains or losses related to derivative liabilities that remain outstanding at September 30, 2011, none of which were reported in the Companys condensed consolidated statements of operations because they are
documented and qualify as hedging instruments. The unrealized loss of $4.6 million is in addition to the $2.2 million payment made to the counterparty related to the treasury locks that were executed and settled during the nine months ended
September 30, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Accrued
Expenses and Other Liabilities
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these
financial instruments, excluding the liability associated with the equity derivative instruments, approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.
Notes Receivable and Advances to Affiliates
The fair value is estimated by
discounting the current rates at which management believes similar loans would be made. The fair value of these notes was approximately $109.0 million and $120.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively,
as compared to the carrying amounts of $109.6 million and $122.6 million, respectively. The carrying value of the TIF bonds, which was $6.3 million and $13.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively, approximated their fair value as of both periods. The fair value of loans to affiliates has been estimated by management based upon its assessment of the interest rate, credit risk and performance risk.
Debt
The fair market value of debt is determined using the trading price of public debt, and for all other debt determined on a discounted cash
flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile including the Companys non-performance risk.

Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial
instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages
its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources
and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Companys derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the
Companys known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Companys investments and borrowings.
The Company has an interest in consolidated joint ventures that own real estate assets in Canada and Russia. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. The
Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to economically hedge a portion of this exposure. The Company manages its currency exposure related to the net assets of its Canadian and European subsidiaries through foreign currency-denominated
debt agreements.
- 22 -
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Companys objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this
objective, the Company generally uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making
fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The following table discloses certain information regarding the Swaps:

All components of the Swaps were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company expects that within the
next 12 months it will reflect an increase to interest expense (and a corresponding decrease to earnings) of approximately $4.4 million.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated OCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the
period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2011, such derivatives were used to hedge the forecasted variable cash flows associated with existing obligations. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of
derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness recorded was not material.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the Swaps. The Company
believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap
positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions. The Company has not, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its Swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in
default on its Swaps resulting in an acceleration of payment.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from its consolidated and unconsolidated international investments. The Company has
foreign currency-denominated debt agreements, which expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company has designated these foreign currency borrowings as a hedge of its net investment in its Canadian and European
subsidiaries. Changes in the spot rate value are recorded as adjustments to the debt balance with offsetting unrealized gains and losses recorded in OCI. Because the notional amount of the non-derivative instrument substantially matches the portion
of the net investment designated as being hedged, and the non-derivative instrument is denominated in the functional currency of the hedged net investment, the hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings was not material.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|
Accrued Expense
The Company recorded a charge of $11.0 million in 2011 as a result of the termination without cause of its former Executive Chairman, the terms of which were pursuant to his amended and restated
employment agreement dated July 2009. This charge included stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million related to the acceleration of expense associated with the grant date fair value of the unvested stock-based awards partially
offset by the forfeiture of previously expensed awards that will no longer be issued. At September 30, 2011, approximately $8.3 million was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Companys condensed consolidated balance
sheet related to this obligation.
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to various joint ventures with the Coventry II Fund, through which 11 existing or proposed retail properties,
along with a portfolio of former Service Merchandise locations, were acquired at various times from 2003 through 2006. The properties were acquired by the joint ventures as value-add investments, with major renovation and/or ground-up development
contemplated for many of the properties. The Company is generally responsible for day-to-day management of the properties through December 2011. On November 4, 2009, Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., Coventry Real Estate Fund II,
L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, Coventry) filed suit against the Company and certain of its affiliates and officers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The complaint
alleges that the Company: (i) breached contractual obligations under a co-investment agreement and various joint venture limited liability company agreements, project development agreements and management and leasing agreements;
(ii) breached its fiduciary duties as a member of various limited liability companies; (iii) fraudulently induced the plaintiffs to enter into certain agreements; and (iv) made certain material misrepresentations. The complaint also
requests that a general release made by
- 25 -
Coventry in favor of the Company in connection with one of the joint venture properties be voided on the grounds of economic duress. The complaint seeks compensatory and consequential damages in
an amount not less than $500 million, as well as punitive damages. In response, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative, to sever the plaintiffs claims. In June 2010, the court granted in part (regarding
Coventrys claim that the Company breached a fiduciary duty owed to Coventry) and denied in part (all other claims) the Companys motion. Coventry filed a notice of appeal regarding that portion of the motion granted by the court. In May
2011, the appeals court affirmed the trial courts ruling regarding the dismissal of Coventrys claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The Company filed an answer to the complaint, and has asserted various counterclaims against Coventry. On
October 10, 2011, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, seeking dismissal of all of Coventrys remaining claims.
The Company believes that the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit and that it has strong defenses against this lawsuit. The Company will vigorously defend itself against the allegations contained
in the complaint. This lawsuit is subject to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and, therefore, no assurance can be given as to its ultimate outcome and no loss provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements
because a loss contingency is not deemed probable or estimable. However, based on the information presently available to the Company, the Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 18, 2009, the Company filed a
complaint against Coventry in the Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, seeking, among other things, a temporary restraining order enjoining Coventry from terminating for cause the management agreements between the Company and
the various joint ventures because the Company believes that the requisite conduct in a for-cause termination (i.e., fraud or willful misconduct committed by an executive of the Company at the level of at least senior vice president) did
not occur. The court heard testimony in support of the Companys motion (and Coventrys opposition) and on December 4, 2009, issued a ruling in the Companys favor. Specifically, the court issued a temporary restraining order
enjoining Coventry from terminating the Company as property manager for cause. The court found that the Company was likely to succeed on the merits, that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage would result to the Company in the
absence of such restraint, and that the balance of equities favored injunctive relief in the Companys favor. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a ruling by the Court that there was no basis for Coventrys for
cause termination as a matter of law. On August 2, 2011, the court entered an order granting the Companys motion for summary judgment in all respects, finding that as a matter of law and fact, Coventry did not have the right to
terminate the management agreements for cause. Coventry filed a notice of appeal of the courts ruling.
In addition to
the litigation discussed above, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of legal
actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by insurance. While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome
of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Common Shares and Redemption of Preferred Shares
In March 2011, Mr. Alexander Otto and certain members of his family (the Otto Family) exercised their warrants for
10 million common shares for cash proceeds of $60 million. In addition, in March 2011, the Company entered into a forward sale agreement to sell an aggregate of 9.5 million of its common shares for net proceeds aggregating $130.2 million,
or $13.71 per share, which settled in April 2011.
In April 2011, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding shares of 8.0%
Class G cumulative redeemable preferred shares at a redemption price of $25.105556 per Class G depositary share (the sum of $25.00 per share and dividends per share of $0.105556 prorated to the redemption date) for an aggregate redemption
price of $180.8 million. The Company recorded a charge of approximately $6.4 million to net loss available to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2011 related to the write-off of the Class G preferred shares original issuance
costs.
Dividends
Common share dividends declared were $0.06 and $0.14 per share, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, which were paid in cash. Common share dividends declared
were $0.02 and $0.06 per share, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, which were paid in cash.
Deferred Obligations
Certain officers elected to have their deferred
compensation distributed in 2011, which resulted in a reduction of the deferred obligation and corresponding increase to paid-in capital of approximately $2.3 million.
Equity Derivative Instruments Otto Transaction
In February 2009,
the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Otto Family that provided for the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 10.0 million common shares with an exercise price of $6.00 per share to members of the Otto Family. In March
2011, the Otto Family notified the Company regarding its intent to exercise the warrants. As discussed above, all of the warrants were exercised in March 2011 for cash at $6.00 per common share. The exercise price of the warrants was subject to
downward adjustment if the weighted average purchase price of all additional common shares sold, as defined, from the date of issuance of the applicable warrant was less than $6.00 per share (herein referred to as the Downward Price Protection
Provisions).
Although not triggered, the purchase price was subject to the Downward Price Protection Provisions
described above which resulted in the warrants being required to be recorded at fair value as of the shareholder approval date of the Stock Purchase Agreement of April 9, 2009, and marked-to-market through earnings as of each balance sheet date
thereafter until the exercise date of March 18, 2011. These equity instruments were issued as part of the Companys overall deleveraging strategy and were not issued in connection with any speculative trading activity or to mitigate any
market risks.
- 27 -
The fair value of the Companys equity derivative instruments (warrants) were
classified on the Companys balance sheet as Equity Derivative Liability-Affiliate and had a fair value of $74.3 million at March 18, 2011, the exercise date. This liability was reclassified to paid-in capital and aggregated with the cash
proceeds in the consolidated statement of equity.

Measurement of Fair Value Equity Derivative Instruments Valued on a Recurring Basis
The valuation of these instruments was determined using an option pricing model that considered all relevant assumptions including the
Downward Price Protection Provisions. The two key unobservable input assumptions included in the valuation of the warrants were the volatility and dividend yield. Both measures were susceptible to change over time given the impact of movements in
the Companys common share price on each. The dividend yield assumptions used ranged from 3.0% - 3.2% in the first quarter of 2011 and 3.1% - 4.2% in the first nine months of 2010. Since the initial valuation date, the Company used historical
volatility assumptions to determine the estimate of fair value of the five-year warrants. The Company believed that the long-term historic volatility better represented the long-term future volatility and was more consistent with how an investor
would view the value of these securities. The Company continually reassessed these assumptions and reviewed the assumptions again in March 2011 upon notification from the Otto Family regarding their intent to exercise the warrants. The Company
determined that an implied volatility assumption was more representative of how a market participant would value the instruments given the shorter term nature of the warrants. The volatility assumptions used were 36.6% in the first quarter of 2011
and 78.3% in the first nine months of 2010. The Company determined that the warrants fell within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the volatility and dividend yield assumptions used in the overall valuation.

(A)
|
Amounts reported in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily related to land held for development in Yaroslavl, Russia (Yaroslavl
Project) and Brampton, Canada (Brampton Project), which are owned through consolidated joint ventures. The Companys proportionate share of the loss was approximately $36.4 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to
the non-controlling interest in the Yaroslavl Project. The asset impairments were triggered by the Companys current decision to dispose of its interest in lieu of development and the execution of agreements during the third quarter of 2011 for
the sale of its interest in these projects. In connection with the potential sale of the Yaroslavl Project, an affiliate of the Companys joint venture partner and the Otto Family may enter into certain leasing and management agreements with
the buyer of the Yaroslavl Project and could receive fees in exchange for its services. The Company anticipates selling its interest in the Brampton Project to its joint venture partner in the project.
|
Amounts reported in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily related to land held for development at the Yaroslavl Project
and in Togliatti, Russia, also owned through a consolidated joint venture. The Companys proportionate share of the loss was approximately $41.9 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to the non-controlling interest. The asset
impairments were triggered primarily due to a change in the Companys investment plans for these projects.
(B)
|
The impairment charges were triggered primarily due to the Companys marketing of these assets for sale and managements assessment as to the likelihood and
timing of a potential transaction.
|
(C)
|
The Companys proportionate share of these impairments was $16.5 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to the non-controlling interest in this
consolidated joint venture and including those assets classified as discontinued operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. The 2010 impairment charges were triggered in the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to a change
in the Companys business plans for these assets and the resulting impact on its holding period assumptions for this substantially vacant portfolio. As discussed in Note 13, these assets were deconsolidated in 2010 and all operating results,
including the impairment charges, have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
|
All revenues and expenses of discontinued operations sold have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company has one asset considered held for sale at September 30, 2011. The Company considers assets held for sale when the transaction has
been approved by the appropriate levels of management and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale such that the sale of the property within one year is considered probable. Included in discontinued operations for the three-
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, are 21 properties sold in 2011 and one property held for sale at September 30, 2011, aggregating 1.9 million square feet, and 31 properties sold in 2010 (including two held for
sale at December 31, 2009), aggregating 2.9 million square feet, respectively. In addition, included in discontinued operations are 26 other properties that were deconsolidated for accounting purposes in 2011 and 2010, aggregating
2.3 million square feet, which primarily represents the activity associated with a joint venture that owns the underlying real estate of certain assets formerly occupied by Mervyns. These assets were classified as discontinued operations for
all periods presented, as the Company has no significant continuing involvement. The balance sheet related to the asset held for sale and the operating results related to assets sold, designated as held for sale or deconsolidated as of
September 30, 2011, are as follows (in thousands):

The Companys unvested restricted share units contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, and thus are
participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share (EPS). Under the two-class method, EPS is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings
allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the
weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations and the number of common shares used in the computations of basic EPS, which uses the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and diluted EPS, which includes all such shares (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The following potentially dilutive securities are considered in the calculation of EPS as
described below:
Anti-dilutive Securities:
|
|
|
Warrants to purchase 10.0 million common shares issued in 2009 were anti-dilutive for all of the periods presented, as the options were
anti-dilutive due to the Companys loss from continuing operations
|
|
|
|
Shares subject to issuance under the Companys value sharing equity program (VSEP) were not considered in the computation of diluted
EPS for all of the periods presented, as the shares were anti-dilutive due to the Companys loss from continuing operations.
|
|
|
|
Options to purchase 2.7 million and 3.3 million common shares were outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and were not
considered in the computation of diluted EPS for all of the periods presented, as the options were anti-dilutive due to the Companys loss from continuing operations.
|
|
|
|
The forward equity agreement entered into in March 2011 for 9.5 million common shares was not included in the computation of diluted EPS using the
treasury stock method for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 due to the Companys loss from continuing operations. These shares were issued in April 2011. This agreement was not in effect in 2010.
|
|
|
|
The Companys two series of senior convertible notes due 2012 and 2040, which are convertible into common shares of the Company with conversion
prices of approximately $74.56 and $16.27, respectively, at September 30, 2011, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, because the Companys common
share price did not exceed the conversion prices of the conversion features in these periods and would therefore be anti-dilutive. The Companys senior convertible notes due 2011, which were convertible into common shares of the Company at the
conversion price of approximately $64.23 at September 30, 2010, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 and the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010,
because the Companys common share price did not exceed the conversion prices of the conversion features in these periods and would therefore be anti-dilutive. The senior convertible notes due 2011 were repaid at maturity in August 2011. In
addition, the purchased options related to two of the senior convertible notes issuances are not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the purchase options are anti-dilutive.

The Company has three reportable operating segments shopping centers, Brazil equity investment and other
investments. Each consolidated shopping center is considered a separate operating segment; however, each shopping center on a stand-alone basis represents less than 10% of the revenues, profit or loss, and assets of the combined reported operating
segment and meets the majority of the aggregation criteria under the applicable standard. The following table summarizes the Companys shopping centers and office properties, including those located in Brazil:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) provides readers with a
perspective from management on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors that may affect the Companys future results. The Company believes it is important to read the MD&A in conjunction
with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as well as other publicly available information.
Executive
Summary
The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) in the
business of owning, managing and developing a portfolio of shopping centers. As of September 30, 2011, the Companys portfolio consisted of 450 shopping centers and five office properties (including 184 shopping centers owned through
unconsolidated joint ventures and two shopping centers that are otherwise consolidated by the Company) in which the Company had an economic interest. These properties consist of shopping centers, lifestyle centers and enclosed malls owned in the
United States, Puerto Rico and Brazil. At September 30, 2011, the Company owned and/or managed approximately 130 million total square feet of gross leasable area (GLA), which includes all of the aforementioned properties, 47
properties in which the Company does not have an economic interest and 41 properties managed by the Company but owned by a third party. The Company also owns land in Canada and Russia at which active development has been deferred. At
September 30, 2011, the aggregate occupancy of the Companys operating shopping center portfolio in which the Company has an economic interest was 86.3%, as compared to 88.0% at September 30, 2010. The Company owned 493 shopping
centers and six office properties at September 30, 2010. The average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $13.76 at September 30, 2011, as compared to $13.03 at September 30, 2010.
Net loss applicable to DDR common shareholders for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, was $50.0 million, or $0.18 per
share (basic and diluted), compared to net loss applicable to DDR common shareholders of $24.9 million, or $0.10 per share (basic and diluted), for the prior-year comparable period. Net loss applicable to DDR common shareholders for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2011, was $52.1 million, or $0.20 per share (basic and diluted), compared to net loss applicable to DDR common shareholders of $156.8 million, or $0.65 per share (basic and diluted), for the prior-year comparable
period. Funds from operations (FFO) applicable to DDR common shareholders for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, was $8.1 million compared to $37.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. FFO
applicable to DDR common shareholders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was $121.3 million compared to $32.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in net loss applicable to DDR common
shareholders and the corresponding increase in FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, was primarily the result of a reduction in the aggregate impairment charges recorded in 2011, the gain
on change in control of interests related to the Companys acquisition of two assets from unconsolidated joint ventures and the effect of the valuation adjustments associated with the warrants exercised in 2011 partially offset by higher
interest expense, an executive separation charge and the write-off of the original issuance costs due to the redemption of the Companys Class G cumulative redeemable preferred shares.

Third Quarter 2011 Operating Results
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company acquired three prime shopping centers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110.0
million through the use of cash and assumed debt. The Company also sold consolidated non-prime assets generating gross proceeds of approximately $59.1 million. Combined with the activity from the first half of 2011, the Companys transactional
activity consisted of $150 million of acquisitions and $214 million in asset sales (of which the Companys share was approximately $166 million). This activity demonstrates the Companys strategy to recycle capital from non-prime asset
sales into the acquisitions of prime assets (i.e., market-dominant shopping centers with high-quality tenants located in attractive markets with strong demographic profiles) to improve portfolio quality. The Company continues to carefully consider
opportunities that fit its selective acquisition requirements and remains prudent in its underwriting and bidding practices.
The Company increased its third quarter dividend on its common shares to $0.06 per common share from $0.04 per common share in the second
quarter. This increase still allows the Company to retain free cash flow, yet reflects the Companys execution on its long-term strategies.
The Company continued its improvement in operating performance in the third quarter of 2011 as evidenced by the number of leases executed during the quarter and continued upward trending in average rental
rates. The Company executed 516 total leases for over 2.5 million square feet during the third quarter. First-year rents on new leases provide a solid indicator of leasing trends. The average first-year rent for all new leases executed in the
third quarter of 2011 was $15.18 per square foot, an increase from $12.65 per square foot in the third quarter of 2010. This growth was achieved without increasing the Companys historically low tenant capital expenditures. The weighted average
cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated to be incurred for leases executed during the quarter was only $2.57 per rentable square foot over the lease term.
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company continued its focus on maximizing internal growth opportunities while taking a balanced approach to external growth with a consistent execution of its previously
set strategic objectives.

The increase in recoveries is a result of the acquisition of five assets in 2011 as well as an increase in recoverable operating and maintenance expenses. Recoveries
were approximately 86% and 85% of reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The improvement in the recovery percentage primarily relates to the disposition of
non-prime assets with lower recovery rates.

The decrease in management fee income in 2011 is largely a result of 39 asset sales by the Companys
unconsolidated joint ventures from January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011. The increase in ancillary and other income primarily is related to the revenue associated with cinema and entertainment operations located at two of the
Companys shopping centers.

The increase in operating and maintenance expenses in 2011 for the Comparable Portfolio Properties
primarily is due to higher insurance related costs and various other property level expenditures. The increase in the Development/redevelopment shopping centers primarily is due to expenses associated with the cinema and entertainment operations
located at two of the Companys shopping centers.

Amounts reported in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily related to land held for development in Yaroslavl, Russia (Yaroslavl
Project) and Brampton, Canada (Brampton Project), which are owned through consolidated joint ventures. The Companys proportionate share of the aggregate loss was approximately $36.4 million after adjusting for the allocation
of loss to the non-controlling interest in the Yaroslavl Project. The asset impairments were triggered by the Companys current decision to dispose of its interest in lieu of development and the execution of agreements during the third quarter
of 2011 for the sale of its interest in these projects. In connection with the potential sale of the Yaroslavl Project, an affiliate of the Companys joint venture partner and the Otto Family may enter into certain leasing and management
agreements with the buyer of the Yaroslavl Project and could receive fees in exchange for its services. The Company anticipates selling its interest in the Brampton Project to its joint venture partner in the project.
|
Amounts reported in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily related to land held for development at the Yaroslavl Project
and in Togliatti, Russia, also owned through a consolidated joint venture. The Companys proportionate share of the loss was approximately $41.9 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to the non-controlling interest. The asset
impairments were triggered primarily due to a change in the Companys investment plans for these projects.
- 42 -
|
(2)
|
The impairment charges were triggered primarily due to the Companys marketing of these assets for sale and managements assessment as to the likelihood and
timing of sale.
|
|
(3)
|
The Companys proportionate share of these impairments was $16.5 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to the non-controlling interest in this
previously consolidated joint venture for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. The 2010 impairment charges were triggered in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to a change in the Companys business plans
for these assets and the resulting impact on its holding period assumptions for this substantially vacant portfolio. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company determined it was no longer committed to the long-term management and investment of
these assets. These assets were deconsolidated in the third quarter of 2010 and all operating results, including the impairment changes, have been reclassified as discontinued operations.
|
(C)

General and administrative expenses were approximately 5.3% and 5.0% of total revenues, including total revenues of unconsolidated joint ventures and managed properties
and discontinued operations, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company continues to expense internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expenses associated with certain leasing and
re-leasing of existing space.
|
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a
charge of $11.0 million as a result of the termination without cause of its Executive Chairman, the terms of which were pursuant to his amended and restated employment agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company
incurred a $2.1 million separation charge related to the departure of another executive officer. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to September 30, 2010 excluding
these executive separation charges is due to general cost cutting measures.

The weighted average interest rate (based on contractual rates and excludes convertible debt accretion and
deferred financing costs) at September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 5.1% and 5.0%, respectively.
The increase in 2011 interest
expense is primarily due to the repayment of shorter-term, lower interest rate debt with the proceeds from long-term, higher interest rate debt, partially offset by a reduction in outstanding debt. Interest costs capitalized in conjunction with
development and redevelopment projects and unconsolidated development and redevelopment joint venture interests were $3.3 million and $9.4 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $3.3
million and $9.5 million for the respective periods in 2010. The Company ceases the capitalization of interest when assets are placed in service or upon the suspension of construction.

Represents the impact of the valuation adjustments for the equity derivative instruments issued as part of the stock purchase agreement with Mr. Alexander Otto
(the Investor) and certain members of the Otto family (collectively with the Investor, the Otto Family). The valuation and resulting charges/gains primarily related to the difference between the closing trading value of the
Companys common shares from the beginning of the period through the end of the respective period presented except that in 2011, the final valuation was done as of March 18, 2011, the exercise date of the warrants. Because all of the
warrants were exercised in March 2011, the Company no longer records the changes in fair value of these instruments in its earnings. The liability at the date of exercise was reclassified into paid-in capital upon the receipt of cash from the Otto
Family and the issuance of the Company's common shares.

In June 2011, the Company sold a note receivable with a face value, including accrued but unpaid interest,
of $11.8 million for proceeds of $6.8 million. This transaction resulted in the recognition of a reserve of $5.0 million prior to the sale to reduce the loan receivable to fair value.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company established a lease liability reserve in the amount of $3.3 million for three operating leases
as a result of an abandoned development project and two office closures. The Company reversed $2.6 million of this previously recorded charge due to the termination of the ground lease related to the abandoned development project in the first
quarter of 2011.

The increase in equity in net income of joint ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior-year period is primarily a result of the
gain recognized on the sale of an asset by one unconsolidated joint venture of which the Companys share was $12.6 million and higher income from the Companys investment in Sonae Sierra Brasil discussed below, partially offset by the
Companys proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture impairments, loss on sale and the elimination of equity income from unconsolidated joint venture assets sold in the first nine months of 2010.
|
At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had an approximate 33% and 48% interest, respectively, in an unconsolidated joint
venture, Sonae Sierra Brasil, which owns real estate in Brazil and is headquartered in San Paulo, Brazil. In February 2011, Sonae Sierra Brasil, completed an initial public offering (IPO) of its common shares on the Sao Paulo Stock
Exchange, raising total proceeds of approximately US$280 million. The Companys effective ownership interest in Sonae Sierra Brasil decreased during the first quarter of 2011 due to the IPO. This entity uses the functional currency of Brazilian
Reais. The Company has generally chosen not to mitigate any of the foreign currency risk through the use of hedging instruments for this entity. The operating cash flow generated by this investment has been generally retained by the joint venture
and reinvested in ground up developments and expansions in Brazil. The weighted average exchange rate used for recording the equity in net income was 1.63 and 1.79 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The overall
increase in equity in net income from the Sonae Sierra Brasil joint venture, net of the impact of foreign currency translation, primarily is due to shopping center expansion activity coming on line, increases in parking revenue and increases in
ancillary income and interest income.
(B)
|
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company acquired its partners 50% interest in two shopping centers. The Company accounted for both of these transactions as step
acquisitions. Due to the change in control that occurred, the Company recorded an aggregate gain associated with the acquisitions related to the difference between the Companys carrying value and fair value of the previously held equity
interests.

The Company sold 21 properties during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 and had one property held for sale at September 30, 2011, aggregating
1.9 million square feet. In addition, the Company sold 31 properties in 2010 (including two properties held for sale at December 31, 2009) aggregating 2.9 million square feet. Also, included in discontinued operations are 26 other
properties that were deconsolidated for accounting purposes in 2011 and 2010, aggregating 2.3 million square feet, which primarily represents the activity associated with a joint venture that owns the underlying real estate of certain assets
formerly occupied by Mervyns. These assets were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented as the Company has no significant continuing involvement. In addition, included in the reported loss for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010, is $11.3 million and $83.7 million, respectively, of impairment charges related to assets classified as discontinued operations.
|
(B)
|
The Company recorded a gain in both the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 associated with the deconsolidation of assets owned in consolidated
joint ventures that were transferred to the control of a court appointed receiver. The Company recorded a gain because the carrying value of the non-recourse debt exceeded the carrying value of the collateralized assets of the joint ventures. The
revenues and expenses associated with these joint ventures are classified within discontinued operations.

The change is a result of impairment charges in 2011 and 2010 by one of the Companys 75% owned consolidated investments, which owns land held for development in
Togliatti and Yaroslavl, Russia and one of the Companys 50% owned consolidated investment, which own land held for development in Brampton, Canada. In addition, in 2010, non-controlling interests included the net loss attributable to a
consolidated joint venture, which held assets previously occupied by Mervyns, that were deconsolidated in the third quarter of 2010, and the operating results are reported as a component of discontinued operations.

The decrease in net loss attributable to DDR for the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2011 compared to 2010, primarily was the result of a reduction in the aggregate impairment charges recorded in 2011, the gain on change in control of interests related to the Companys acquisition of two assets from
unconsolidated joint ventures and the effect of the valuation adjustments associated with the warrants exercised in 2011 partially offset by higher interest expense and an executive separation charge. A summary of changes in 2011 as compared to 2010

Funds From Operations
Definition and Basis of Presentation
The Company believes that FFO, which
is a non-GAAP financial measure, provides an additional and useful means to assess the financial performance of REITs. FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the performance of REITs, most
of which present FFO along with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
FFO excludes GAAP historical cost
depreciation and amortization of real estate and real estate investments, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and
many companies use different depreciable lives and methods. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and certain losses from depreciable property dispositions, and extraordinary items, it can provide a
performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities and financing costs. This provides a perspective of the
Companys financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP.
- 48 -
FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss), adjusted to
exclude (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those properties sold through the Companys merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, and those
gains that represent the recapture of a previously recognized impairment charge, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation, equity income (loss) from
joint ventures and equity income (loss) from non-controlling interests, and adding the Companys proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. For the periods
presented below, the Companys calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) at September 30, 2011, because there were no gains generated from the
Company's merchant building program.
During 2008, due to the volatility and volume of significant charges and gains recorded
in the Companys operating results that the Company believes were not reflective of the Companys core operating performance, management began computing Operating FFO and discussing it with the users of the Companys financial
statements, in addition to other measures such as net income/loss determined in accordance with GAAP as well as FFO. Operating FFO is generally calculated by the Company as FFO excluding certain charges and gains that management believes are not
indicative of the results of the Companys operating real estate portfolio. The disclosure of these charges and gains are regularly requested by users of the Companys financial statements.
The original NAREIT definition of FFO did not explicitly address the treatment of impairment charges of depreciable real estate. As a
result, there were different industry views regarding whether such charges should be excluded from FFO. The Companys historical calculation of FFO included impairment charges as well as losses on sale of depreciable real estate. On
October 31, 2011, NAREIT reaffirmed that the exclusion of impairment charges of depreciable real estate is consistent with the definition of FFO. Further, NAREIT indicated that it was its preference for companies to restate previously reported
NAREIT FFO in order to provide consistent and comparable presentation of FFO measures. As the Company has included impairment charges and losses on sale of depreciable real estate in its FFO, the Company is currently evaluating its presentation of
FFO in the current period and all previously reported periods. Impairments and losses on sale recorded by the Company for the periods presented herein are disclosed below in the reconciliation of Operating FFO.
Operating FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as described above, its use, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations,
has been beneficial to management in improving the understanding of the Companys operating results among the investing public and making comparisons of other REITs operating results to the Companys more meaningful. The adjustments
may not be comparable to how other REITs or real estate companies calculate their results of operations, and the Companys calculation of Operating FFO differs from NAREITs definition of FFO. The Company will continue to evaluate the
usefulness and relevance of the reported non-GAAP measures, and such reported measures could change. Additionally, the Company provides no assurances that these charges and gains are non-recurring. These charges and gains could be reasonably
expected to recur in future results of operations.
- 49 -
These measures of performance are used by the Company for several business purposes and by
other REITs. The Company uses FFO and/or Operating FFO in part (i) as a measure of a real estate assets performance, (ii) to influence acquisition, disposition and capital investment strategies, and (iii) to compare the
Companys performance to that of other publicly traded shopping center REITs.
For the reasons described above,
management believes that FFO and Operating FFO provide the Company and investors with an important indicator of the Companys operating performance. It provides a recognized measure of performance other than GAAP net income, which may include
non-cash items (often significant). Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.
Management recognizes FFOs and Operating FFOs limitations when compared to GAAPs income from continuing operations. FFO
and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for needed dividends, capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. Management does not use FFO or Operating FFO as an indicator of the
Companys cash obligations and funding requirements for future commitments, acquisitions or development activities. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither is
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO should be considered an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as
a measure of liquidity. FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as additional indicators of the Companys operating performance. The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO and operating FFO should be compared with the
Companys reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in its consolidated financial statements.
Reconciliation Presentation
For the three-month period ended
September 30, 2011, FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders was $8.1 million, compared to $37.1 million for the same period in 2010. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders was $121.3
million, as compared to $32.7 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in FFO for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, was primarily the result of a reduction in the aggregate impairment charges recorded in 2011, the gain on
change in control of interests related to the Companys acquisition of two assets from unconsolidated joint ventures and the effect of the non-cash valuation adjustments associated with the warrants exercised in 2011 partially offset by higher
interest expense, an executive separation charge and the write-off of the original issuance costs due to the redemption of the Companys Class G cumulative redeemable preferred shares.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, Operating FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders was $67.4 million, compared
to $63.2 million for the same period in 2010. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, Operating FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders was $195.0 million, as compared to $193.4 million for the same period in 2010. The slight
increase in Operating FFO for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, was primarily the result of increased revenue and interest income partially offset by higher general and administrative costs and interest expense.

The amount reflected as gains on disposition of real estate and real estate investments from continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations includes residual land sales, which management considers being the disposition of non-depreciable real property. These dispositions are included in the Companys FFO and, therefore, are not reflected as an adjustment to FFO. For the
three-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded $0.8 million of gain on land sales. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $1.0 million and $0.4 million of gain on land sales,

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company periodically evaluates opportunities to issue and sell additional debt or equity securities, obtain credit facilities from lenders, or repurchase, refinance or otherwise restructure long-term
debt for strategic reasons, or to further strengthen the financial position of the Company. In the first nine months of 2011, the Company continued to strategically allocate cash flow from operating and financing activities. The Company also
completed public debt and equity offerings in order to strengthen its balance sheet and improve its financial flexibility.
The Companys and its unconsolidated debt obligations generally require monthly payments of principal and/or interest over the term
of the obligation. No assurance can be provided that these obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated. Also, additional financing may not be available at all or on terms favorable to the Company or its joint ventures (see
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments).
The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate
of financial institutions, arranged by JP Morgan Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the Unsecured Credit Facility). In June 2011, the Company amended the Unsecured Credit Facility and reduced its availability from $950
million to $750 million. The maturity date was extended to February 2016. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes an accordion feature for expansion of availability to $1.25 billion upon the Companys request, provided that new or existing
lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility and increase their commitment level. The Company also maintains a $65 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, that was also amended in June 2011 to match
the terms of the Unsecured Credit Facility (the PNC Facility and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Facilities). The Companys borrowings under these facilities bear interest at variable
rates currently based on LIBOR plus 165 basis points, subject to adjustment based on the Companys current corporate credit ratings from Standard and Poors (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service
(Moodys), which reflects a reduction in the interest rates from LIBOR plus 275 basis points.
The Revolving
Credit Facilities and the indentures under which the Companys senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating
- 54 -
covenants and require the Company to comply with certain covenants including, among other things, leverage ratios and debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as
limitations on the Companys ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of the Companys assets, and engage in mergers and certain acquisitions. These credit facilities and indentures also contain
customary default provisions including the failure to make timely payments of principal and interest payable thereunder, the failure to comply with the Companys financial and operating covenants, the occurrence of a material adverse effect on
the Company, and the failure of the Company or its majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., entities in which the Company has a greater than 50% interest) to pay when due certain indebtedness in excess of certain thresholds beyond applicable grace and
cure periods. In the event the Companys lenders or note holders declare a default, as defined in the applicable agreements governing the debt, the Company may be unable to obtain further funding and/or an acceleration of any outstanding
borrowings may occur. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants in the agreements governing its debt. Although the Company intends to operate in compliance with these covenants, if the Company
were to violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or accelerated maturities. The Companys current business plans indicate that it will continue to be able to operate in compliance with these covenants
for the remainder of 2011 and beyond.
Certain of the Companys credit facilities and indentures permit the acceleration
of the maturity of the underlying debt in the event certain other debt of the Company has been accelerated. Furthermore, a default under a loan by the Company or its affiliates, a foreclosure on a mortgaged property owned by the Company or its
affiliates or the inability to refinance existing indebtedness may have a negative impact on the Companys financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. These facts, and an inability to predict future economic conditions, have
encouraged the Company to adopt a strict focus on lowering leverage and increasing financial flexibility.
The Company expects
to fund its obligations from available cash, current operations and utilization of its Revolving Credit Facilities. The following information summarizes the availability of the Revolving Credit Facilities at September 30, 2011 (in millions):

Additionally, as of October 28, 2011, the Company had $200 million of its common shares available
for future issuance under its continuous equity program.
The Company intends to maintain a longer-term financing strategy and
continue to reduce its reliance on short-term debt. The Company believes its Revolving Credit Facilities is sufficient for its liquidity strategy and longer-term capital structure needs.
Part of the Companys overall strategy includes addressing debt maturing in future years following well before the maturity date. In
March 2011, the Company issued $300 million aggregate
- 55 -
principal amount of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due April 2018. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay short-term, higher cost mortgage debt and to reduce balances on its Revolving
Credit Facilities and secured term loan.
In March 2011, the Otto Family exercised their warrants for 10 million common
shares for cash proceeds of $60.0 million. In April 2011, the Company issued 9.5 million of its common shares for $130.2 million, or $13.71 per share. The net proceeds from the issuance of these common shares were used to redeem $180.0 million
of the Company's 8.0% Class G cumulative redeemable preferred shares in April 2011. The excess proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.
In June 2011, the Company amended its secured term loan arranged by KeyBank Capital Markets and JP Morgan Securities, LLC, reducing the amount outstanding from $550 million to $500 million. The new
secured term loan matures in September 2014 and has a one-year extension option.
The Company is focused on the timing and
deleveraging opportunities for the consolidated debt maturing in 2012 as the Company has addressed all 2011 maturities. Included in the 2012 maturities are an aggregate of approximately $409.2 million of unsecured senior notes and approximately
$110.7 million of mortgage debt. At September 30, 2011, there remains enough borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facilities to fund these maturities as they come due. At this date, there are no future years in which the
Companys scheduled consolidated debt maturities exceed $1 billion. Management believes that the scheduled debt maturities in future years are manageable for the size of its balance sheet. The Company continually evaluates its debt maturities
and, based on managements current assessment, believes it has viable financing and refinancing alternatives.
The
Company continues to look beyond 2011 to ensure that it executes its strategy to lower leverage, increase liquidity, improve the Companys credit ratings and extend debt duration with the goal of lowering the Company's risk profile and
long-term cost of capital.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
At September 30, 2011, the Companys unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt that has matured or is maturing in 2011 was $135.8 million (of which the Companys proportionate share is
$19.2 million). Of this amount, $121.2 million (of which the Companys proportionate share is $16.3 million) was attributable to the Coventry II Fund assets (see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements).
Cash Flow Activity
The
Companys core business of leasing space to well-capitalized retailers continues to generate consistent and predictable cash flow after expenses, interest payments and preferred share dividends. This capital is available for use at the
Companys discretion for investment, debt repayment and the payment of dividends on the common shares.

Operating Activities:
There were no significant changes from operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.
Investing Activities:
The change in cash
flow from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from note repayments and increased distributions from joint ventures related to
asset sales and refinancings offset by the change in restricted cash.
Financing Activities:
The change in cash flow
used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds received from the issuance of common shares partially offset by a decrease in the
level of debt repayments.
The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least 90% of ordinary taxable income
with declared common and preferred share cash dividends of $63.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $46.8 million of dividends paid for the same period in 2010. Because actual distributions were greater than
100% of taxable income, federal income taxes have not been incurred by the Company thus far during 2011.
The Company declared
a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per common share for the third quarter of 2011 and $0.04 per common share in each of the first two quarters of 2011, which aggregates $0.14 per common share for the first three quarters of 2011. The Board of Directors
of the Company will continue to monitor the 2011 dividend policy and provide for adjustments, as determined to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to maximize the Companys free cash flow while still adhering to REIT
payout requirements.
Sources and Uses of Capital
Strategic Purchase and Sale Transactions
The Company and Glimcher Realty
Trust (NYSE: GRT) (Glimcher) entered into an agreement to swap two assets better aligned with the other's operating platforms and strategies. The Company plans to sell its open-air mall, Town Center Plaza, in Kansas City, Kansas to
Glimcher for approximately $139 million with the existing loan encumbering this asset to be defeased immediately prior to closing; and Glimcher plans to sell its power center, Polaris Towne Center, in Columbus, Ohio to the Company for approximately
$80 million, including the assumption of approximately $45 million in debt currently encumbering the property, which matures in 2020. The Company currently anticipates recognizing a gain, estimated to be approximately $60 million, in connection with
the sale
- 57 -
of Town Center Plaza, which amount is subject to change based on actual closing and other costs associated with the sale. Each of the transactions is expected to close in the fourth quarter of
2011, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including lender approval and a closing condition requiring the contemporaneous closing of each transaction.
Acquisitions
The Company has a portfolio management strategy to recycle
capital from lower quality, lower growth potential assets into prime assets with long-term growth potential. As part of that strategy, in the third quarter of 2011, the Company acquired three assets aggregating 0.5 million square feet for a
total purchase price of approximately $110.0 million. The Company assumed an aggregate of $67.0 million of mortgage debt in connection with these acquisitions. Two of the assets are in Charlotte, North Carolina (Cotswold Village and The Terraces at
SouthPark) and one asset is in Colorado Springs, Colorado (Chapel Hills East). In September 2011, the Company invested $10 million in a loan collateralized by a prime shopping center in Miami, Florida. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company
acquired its partners' 50% ownership interests in two shopping centers for $40 million. As a result, the Company now owns 100% of the two prime shopping centers. The aggregate gross value of the shopping centers is $80 million, and a new $21.0
million, eleven-year mortgage encumbers one of the assets. The Company recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $22.7 million in connection with the first quarter acquisitions related to the step-up of its investment basis to fair value due to
the change in control that occurred.
Dispositions
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold 20 shopping center properties and one office property, aggregating 1.9 million square feet, at an aggregate sales price of
$106.9 million. In addition, the Company also sold $27.3 million of consolidated non-income producing assets. The Company recorded a net loss of $7.0 million, which excludes the impact of $52.6 million in related impairment charges that were
recorded in prior periods. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, three of the Companys joint ventures sold three shopping centers, aggregating approximately 0.6 million square feet, generating gross proceeds of
approximately $80.0 million. The joint ventures recorded an aggregate net gain of approximately $21.3 million related to these asset sales, of which the Companys share was approximately $10.5 million.
As discussed above, as part of the Companys portfolio management strategy, the Company has been marketing non-prime assets for
sale. The Company is focusing on selling single-tenant assets and/or smaller shopping centers that do not meet the Companys current business strategy. The Company has entered into agreements, including contracts executed through
October 28, 2011, to sell real estate assets that are subject to contingencies. An aggregate gain on sale of approximately $85 million could be recorded if certain sales were consummated on the terms currently being negotiated, which could be
offset, in whole or in part, by an aggregate loss of approximately $15 million from the sale of additional assets. Given the Companys experience over the past few years, it is difficult for many buyers to complete these transactions in the
timing contemplated or at all. The Company has not recorded an impairment charge on the assets that would result in a loss at September 30, 2011, as the undiscounted cash flows, when considering and evaluating the various alternative courses of
action
- 58 -
that may occur, exceed the assets current carrying value. The Company evaluates all potential sale opportunities taking into account the long-term growth prospects of assets being sold, the
use of proceeds and the impact to the Companys balance sheet, in addition to the impact on operating results. As a result, if actual results differ from expectations, it is possible that additional assets could be sold in subsequent periods
for a gain or loss after taking into account the above considerations.
Developments and Redevelopments
As part of its portfolio management strategy to develop, expand, improve and re-tenant various consolidated properties, the Company
expects to expend an aggregate of approximately $61.2 million in 2011, of which approximately $42.7 million was spent through September 30, 2011 on a net basis.
The Company will continue to closely monitor its spending in the remainder of 2011 and its expected spending in 2012 for developments and redevelopments, both for consolidated and unconsolidated projects,
as the Company considers this funding to be discretionary spending. The Company does not anticipate expending a significant amount of funds on joint venture development projects in the remainder of 2011 or in 2012, excluding projects at Sonae Sierra
Brasil. The projects in Brazil will be funded with proceeds from the recently completed IPO or entity level financing. One of the important benefits of the Companys asset class is the ability to phase development projects over time until
appropriate leasing levels can be achieved. To maximize the return on capital spending and balance the Companys de-leveraging strategy, the Company adheres to strict investment criteria thresholds. The revised underwriting criteria followed
for almost the past two years includes a higher cash-on-cost project return threshold, and incorporates a longer period before the leases commence and a higher stabilized vacancy rate. The Company applies this revised strategy to both its
consolidated and certain unconsolidated joint ventures that own assets under development because the Company has significant influence and, in most cases, approval rights over decisions relating to significant capital expenditures.
The Company has two consolidated projects that are being developed in phases at a projected aggregate net cost of approximately $204.0
million. At September 30, 2011, approximately $189.5 million of costs had been incurred in relation to these projects. The Company is also currently redeveloping seven shopping center developments (one owned by a consolidated joint venture) at
a projected aggregate net cost of approximately $79.8 million. At September 30, 2011, approximately $61.6 million of costs had been incurred in relation to these redevelopment projects.
At September 30, 2011, the Company has approximately $483.7 million of recorded costs related to land and projects under
development, for which active construction has temporarily ceased or had not yet commenced. Based on the Companys current intentions and business plans, the Company believes that the expected undiscounted cash flows exceed its current carrying
value on each of these projects. However, if the Company were to dispose of certain of these assets in the current market, the Company would likely incur a loss, which may be material. The Company evaluates its intentions with respect to these
assets each reporting period and records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the current carrying value and fair value when the expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the assets carrying value.
- 59 -
The Company and its joint venture partners intend to commence construction on various other
developments, only after substantial tenant leasing has occurred and acceptable construction financing is available.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
The Company has a number of off-balance sheet joint ventures and other unconsolidated entities with varying
economic structures. Through these interests, the Company has investments in operating properties, development properties and two management and development companies. Such arrangements are generally with institutional investors and various
developers located throughout the United States and Brazil.
The unconsolidated joint ventures that have total assets greater
than $250 million (based on the historical cost of acquisition by the unconsolidated joint venture) at September 30, 2011, are as follows:

Funding for Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company has provided loans and advances to certain unconsolidated entities and/or related partners in the amount of $71.1 million at September 30, 2011, for which the Companys joint
venture partners have not funded their proportionate share. Included in this amount, the Company advanced $66.9 million of financing to one of its unconsolidated joint ventures, which accrued interest at the greater of LIBOR plus 700 basis
points, or 12%, and a default rate of 16%, and has an initial maturity of July 2011. The Company reserved this advance in full in 2009 (see Coventry II Fund discussion below).
Coventry II Fund
At September 30, 2011, the Company maintains several
investments with the Coventry II Fund. The Company co-invested approximately 20% in each joint venture and is generally responsible for day-to-day management of the properties. Pursuant to the terms of the joint ventures management,
leasing and development agreements, the Company presently earns fees for property management, leasing and construction management. These agreements expire by their own terms on December 31, 2011, and the Company does not anticipate that these
agreements will be renewed or extended. The Company also could earn a promoted interest, along with Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., above a preferred return after return of capital to fund investors (see Part II, Item 1. Legal
Proceedings).
- 60 -
As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate carrying amount of the Companys net
investment in the Coventry II Fund joint ventures was approximately $15.7 million. An affiliate of the Company has also advanced $66.9 million of financing to one of the Coventry II Fund joint ventures, Coventry II DDR
Bloomfield, related to the development of the project in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (Bloomfield Loan). In addition to its existing equity and note receivable, the Company has provided partial payment guaranties to third-party lenders in
connection with the financing for five of the Coventry II Fund projects. The amount of each such guaranty is not greater than the proportion to the Companys investment percentage in the underlying projects, and the aggregate amount of the
Companys guaranties is approximately $33.9 million at September 30, 2011.
Although the Company will not acquire
additional investments through the Coventry II Fund joint ventures, additional funds may be required to address ongoing operational needs and costs associated with the joint ventures undergoing development or redevelopment. The Coventry II
Fund is exploring a variety of strategies to obtain such funds, including potential dispositions and financings. The Company continues to maintain the position that it does not intend to fund any of its joint venture partners capital
contributions or their share of debt maturities.

In 2009, the senior secured lender sent to the borrower a formal notice of default and filed a foreclosure action. The Company paid its 20% guaranty of this loan in
2009, and the senior secured lender initiated legal proceedings against the Coventry II Fund for its failure to fund its 80% payment guaranty. The senior secured lender and the Coventry II Fund subsequently entered into a settlement arrangement
in connection with the legal proceedings. The above-referenced $66.9 million Bloomfield Loan from the Company related to the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, project is cross-defaulted with this third-party loan. The Bloomfield Loan is considered
past due and has been fully reserved by the Company.

Other Joint Ventures
The Company is involved with overseeing the development activities for several of its unconsolidated joint ventures that are constructing
or redeveloping shopping centers. The Company earns a fee for its services commensurate with the level of oversight provided. The Company generally provides a completion guaranty to the third-party lending institution(s) providing construction
financing.
The Companys unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of
approximately $3.9 billion and $4.0 billion at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk). Such mortgages and construction loans are generally non-recourse to
the Company and its partners; however, certain mortgages may have recourse to the Company and its partners in certain limited situations, such as misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. In connection with certain of the Companys
unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company agreed to fund any amounts due to the joint ventures lender if such amounts are not paid by the joint venture based on the Companys pro rata share of such amount, which aggregated $41.1 million
at September 30, 2011, including guaranties associated with the Coventry II Fund joint ventures.
On February 2,
2011, the Companys unconsolidated joint venture, Sonae Sierra Brasil (BM&FBOVESPA: SSBR3), completed an IPO of its common shares on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange. The total proceeds raised of approximately US$280 million from the IPO will
be used primarily to fund future developments and expansions, as well as repay a loan from its parent company, in which DDR owns a 50% interest. The Companys proportionate share of the loan repayment proceeds was approximately US$22.4 million.
As a result of the initial public offering, the Companys effective ownership interest in Sonae Sierra Brasil was reduced from 48% to approximately 33%.
The Company has generally chosen not to mitigate any of the foreign currency risk through the use of hedging instruments for Sonae Sierra Brasil. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate this
risk and may enter into hedging agreements at a later date.
The Company has interests in consolidated joint ventures that own
real estate assets in Canada and Russia. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. As such, the Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge this exposure. The Company manages currency
exposure related to the net assets of the Companys Canadian and European subsidiaries primarily through foreign currency-denominated debt agreements into which the Company enters. Gains and losses in the parent companys net investments
in its subsidiaries are economically offset by losses and gains in the parent companys foreign currency-denominated debt obligations.
- 62 -
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $1.2 million of net losses related to the
foreign currency-denominated debt agreements were included in the Companys cumulative translation adjustment. As the notional amount of the non-derivative instrument substantially matches the portion of the net investment designated as being
hedged and the non-derivative instrument is denominated in the functional currency of the hedged net investment, the hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings was not material.
Financing Activities
The Company has historically accessed capital sources
through both the public and private markets. The Companys acquisitions, developments and redevelopments are generally financed through cash provided from operating activities, revolving credit facilities, mortgages assumed, construction loans,
secured debt, unsecured debt, common and preferred equity offerings, joint venture capital and asset sales. Total consolidated debt outstanding was $4.2 billion, $4.3 billion and $4.4 billion at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010
and September 30, 2010, respectively.
In June 2011, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Facilities. The maturity
date was extended from February 2014 to February 2016 and the interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 275 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 basis points. In June 2011, the Company also amended its term loan arranged by KeyBank Capital Markets and JP
Morgan Securities, LLC, reducing the amount outstanding from $550 million to $500 million. The new facility matures in September 2014 and has a one-year extension option. In addition, the interest rate changed from LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points to
LIBOR plus 170 basis points which represents current competitive pricing.
In March 2011, the Company issued $300 million
aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due April 2018. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay short-term, higher cost mortgage debt and to reduce balances on its Revolving Credit Facilities and secured term loan.
In March 2011, the Otto Family exercised their warrants for 10 million common shares for cash proceeds of $60.0 million.
In April 2011, the Company issued 9.5 million of its common shares for $130.2 million, or $13.71 per share. The net proceeds from the issuance of these common shares were used to redeem $180.0 million of the Company's 8.0% Class G cumulative
redeemable preferred shares in April 2011. Excess proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.
Capitalization
At September 30, 2011, the Companys capitalization consisted of $4.2 billion of debt, $375 million of preferred shares and $3.0
billion of market equity (market equity is defined as common shares and OP Units outstanding multiplied by $10.90, the closing price of the Companys common shares on the New York Stock Exchange at September 30, 2011), resulting in a debt
to total market capitalization ratio of 0.6 to 1.0 at September 30, 2011. The debt to total market capitalization ratio was 0.6 to 1.0 at September 30, 2010. The closing price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $11.22
at September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2011, the Companys total debt consisted of $3.6 billion of fixed-rate debt (including $284.4 million of variable-rate debt that had
- 63 -
been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate derivative contracts) and $0.6 billion of variable-rate debt. At September 30, 2010, the Companys total debt
consisted of $3.1 billion of fixed-rate debt (including $100.0 million of variable-rate debt that had been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate derivative contracts) and $1.3 billion of variable-rate debt.
It is managements current strategy to have access to the capital resources necessary to manage the Companys balance sheet, to
repay upcoming maturities and to consider making prudent opportunistic investments. Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain funds through additional debt or equity financings and/or joint venture capital in a manner consistent with its intention
to operate with a conservative debt capitalization policy and to reduce the Companys cost of capital by maintaining an investment grade rating with Moodys and re-establishing an investment grade rating with S&P and Fitch. The
security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, as it may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. The Company may not be
able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, which may negatively affect future ratings.
Contractual Obligations and Other
Commitments
The Company does not have any remaining wholly-owned maturities in 2011 and has shifted its focus to the
timing and opportunities for 2012 maturities.
At September 30, 2011, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of
approximately $32.3 million. The Company has not recorded any obligations associated with these letters of credit, the majority of which are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company.
In conjunction with the development of shopping centers, the Company has entered into commitments aggregating approximately $23.5 million
with general contractors for its wholly-owned and consolidated joint venture properties at September 30, 2011. These obligations, comprised principally of construction contracts, are generally due in 12 to 18 months, as the related construction
costs are incurred, and are expected to be financed through operating cash flow, new or existing construction loans, asset sales or revolving credit facilities.
The Company routinely enters into contracts for the maintenance of its properties. These contracts typically can be cancelled upon 30 to 60 days notice without penalty. At September 30, 2011, the
Company had purchase order obligations, typically payable within one year, aggregating approximately $3.3 million related to the maintenance of its properties and general and administrative expenses.
Inflation
Most of the
Companys long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive additional rental income from escalation clauses that generally increase rental
rates during the terms of the leases and/or percentage rentals based on tenants gross sales. Such escalations are determined by negotiation, increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of
- 64 -
the Companys leases are for terms of less than 10 years, permitting the Company to seek increased rents at market rates upon renewal. Most of the Companys leases require the tenants
to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Companys exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Economic Conditions
The
retail market in the United States significantly weakened in 2008 and continued to be challenged in 2009. Retail sales declined and tenants became more selective for new store openings. Some retailers closed existing locations and, as a result, the
Company experienced a loss in occupancy compared to its historic levels. The reduction in occupancy in 2009 has continued to have a negative impact on the Companys consolidated cash flows, results of operations and financial position in 2011.
However, the Company believes there is an improvement in the level of optimism within its tenant base. Many retailers have executed contracts in 2010 and 2011 to open new stores and have strong store opening plans for 2012 and 2013. The lack of new
supply is causing retailers to reconsider opportunities to open new stores in quality locations in well-positioned shopping centers. The Company continues to see strong demand from a broad range of retailers, particularly in the off-price sector,
which is a reflection of the general outlook of consumers who are demanding more value for their dollars. Offsetting some of the impact resulting from the reduced historical occupancy is that the Company has a low occupancy cost relative to other
retail formats and historic averages, as well as a diversified tenant base with only one tenant exceeding 2.5% of total 2011 consolidated revenues and joint venture revenues (Walmart at 3.2%). Other significant tenants include Target, Lowes,
Home Depot, Kohls, T.J. Maxx/Marshalls, Publix Supermarkets, PetSmart and Bed Bath & Beyond, all of which have relatively strong credit ratings, remain well-capitalized and have outperformed other retail categories on a relative basis
over time. The Company believes these tenants should continue providing it with a stable revenue base for the foreseeable future, given the long-term nature of these leases. Moreover, the majority of the tenants in the Companys shopping
centers provide day-to-day consumer necessities with a focus toward value and convenience versus high-priced discretionary luxury items, which the Company believes will enable many of the tenants to continue operating within this challenging
economic environment.
The retail shopping sector has been affected by the competitive nature of the retail business and the
competition for market share as well as general economic conditions where stronger retailers have out-positioned some of the weaker retailers. These shifts have forced some market share away from weaker retailers and required them, in some cases, to
declare bankruptcy and/or close stores. Overall, the Companys portfolio remains stable. However, there can be no assurance that these events will not adversely affect the Company (see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010).
Historically, the Companys portfolio has performed
consistently throughout many economic cycles, including downward cycles. Broadly speaking, national retail sales have grown since World War II, including during several recessions and housing slowdowns. In the past, the Company has not experienced
significant volatility in its long-term portfolio occupancy rate. The Company has experienced downward cycles before and has made the necessary adjustments to leasing and development strategies to accommodate the changes in the operating environment
and mitigate risk.
- 65 -
In many cases, the loss of a weaker tenant creates an opportunity to re-lease space at higher rents to a stronger retailer. More importantly, the quality of the property revenue stream is high
and consistent, as it is generally derived from retailers with good credit profiles under long-term leases, with very little reliance on overage rents generated by tenant sales performance. The Company believes that the quality of its shopping
center portfolio is strong, as evidenced by the high historical occupancy rates, which have generally ranged from 92% to 96% since the Companys initial public offering in 1993. Although the Company experienced a significant decline in
occupancy in 2009 due to several major tenant bankruptcies, the shopping center portfolio occupancy was at 86.3% at September 30, 2011. Notwithstanding the decline in occupancy compared to historic levels, the Company continues to sign new
leases at rental rates that are returning to historic averages. The total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot including the results of Sonae Sierra Brasil was $13.76 at September 30, 2011 as compared to $13.03 at
September 30, 2010. Moreover, the Company has been able to achieve these results without significant capital investment in tenant improvements or leasing commissions. The weighted average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions
estimated to be incurred for leases executed during the third quarter of 2011 for the U.S. portfolio was only $2.57 per rentable square foot. The Company is very conscious of, and sensitive to, the risks posed to the economy, but is currently
comfortable that the position of its portfolio and the general diversity and credit quality of its tenant base should enable it to successfully navigate through these challenging economic times.
New Accounting Standards
Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other
comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity, which is the Companys current presentation, and also requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on
the face of the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations, though it will change the Companys financial statement presentation.
Forward-Looking Statements
Managements discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the condensed consolidated financial statements, including trends that might appear, should not be taken as indicative
of future operations. The Company considers portions of this information to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
both as amended, with respect to the Companys expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements related to acquisitions (including any related pro forma financial information) and other
business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability, and the effects of environmental and other regulations. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will
- 66 -
be achieved. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the
words believes, anticipates, plans, expects, seeks, estimates and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers should exercise caution in
interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Companys control and that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and that could materially affect the Companys actual results, performance or achievements.
Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
The Company is subject to general risks affecting the real estate industry, including the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable
terms to generate rental revenues, and the economic downturn may adversely affect the ability of the Companys tenants, or new tenants, to enter into new leases or the ability of the Companys existing tenants to renew their leases at
rates at least as favorable as their current rates;
|
|
|
|
The Company could be adversely affected by changes in the local markets where its properties are located, as well as by adverse changes in national
economic and market conditions;
|
|
|
|
The Company may fail to anticipate the effects on its properties of changes in consumer buying practices, including catalog sales and sales over the
Internet and the resulting retailing practices and space needs of its tenants, or a general downturn in its tenants businesses, which may cause tenants to close stores or default in payment of rent;
|
|
|
|
The Company is subject to competition for tenants from other owners of retail properties and its tenants are subject to competition from other
retailers and methods of distribution. The Company is dependent upon the successful operations and financial condition of its tenants, in particular its major tenants, and could be adversely affected by the bankruptcy of those tenants;
|
|
|
|
The Company relies on major tenants, which makes it vulnerable to changes in the business and financial condition of, or demand for its space by, such
tenants;
|
|
|
|
The Company may not realize the intended benefits of acquisition or merger transactions. The acquired assets may not perform as well as the Company
anticipated, or the Company may not successfully integrate the assets and realize improvements in occupancy and operating results. The acquisition of certain assets may subject the Company to liabilities, including environmental liabilities;
|
|
|
|
The Company may fail to identify, acquire, construct or develop additional properties that produce a desired yield on invested capital, or may fail to
effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties. In addition, the Company may be limited in its acquisition opportunities due to competition, the inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms or any financing at all,
and other factors;
|
- 67 -
|
|
|
The Company may fail to dispose of properties on favorable terms. In addition, real estate investments can be illiquid, particularly as prospective
buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties obtaining financing, and could limit the Companys ability to promptly make changes to its portfolio to respond to economic and other conditions;
|
|
|
|
The Company may abandon a development opportunity after expending resources if it determines that the development opportunity is not feasible due to a
variety of factors, including a lack of availability of construction financing on reasonable terms, the impact of the economic environment on prospective tenants ability to enter into new leases or pay contractual rent, or the inability of the
Company to obtain all necessary zoning and other required governmental permits and authorizations;
|
|
|
|
The Company may not complete development projects on schedule as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control, such
as weather, labor conditions, governmental approvals, material shortages or general economic downturn resulting in limited availability of capital, increased debt service expense and construction costs, and decreases in revenue;
|
|
|
|
The Companys financial condition may be affected by required debt service payments, the risk of default, and restrictions on its ability to incur
additional debt or to enter into certain transactions under its credit facilities and other documents governing its debt obligations. In addition, the Company may encounter difficulties in obtaining permanent financing or refinancing existing debt.
Borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facilities are subject to certain representations and warranties and customary events of default, including any event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Companys business or financial condition;
|
|
|
|
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the market price of the Companys common shares, as well as its performance and cash flow;
|
|
|
|
Debt and/or equity financing necessary for the Company to continue to grow and operate its business may not be available or may not be available on
favorable terms;
|
|
|
|
Disruptions in the financial markets could affect the Companys ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on
the Company and the market price of the Companys common shares;
|
|
|
|
The Company is subject to complex regulations related to its status as a REIT and would be adversely affected if it failed to qualify as a REIT;
|
|
|
|
The Company must make distributions to shareholders to continue to qualify as a REIT, and if the Company must borrow funds to make distributions, those
borrowings may not be available on favorable terms or at all;
|
|
|
|
Joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by the Company, including the possibility that a partner
or co-venturer may become bankrupt, may at any time have interests or goals different from those of the Company and may take action contrary to the Companys instructions, requests, policies or objectives,
|
- 68 -
|
including the Companys policy with respect to maintaining its qualification as a REIT. In addition, a partner or co-venturer may not have access to sufficient capital to satisfy its funding
obligations to the joint venture. The partner could cause a default under the joint venture loan for reasons outside of the Companys control. Furthermore, the Company could be required to reduce the carrying value of its equity method
investments if a loss in the carrying value of the investment is other than temporary;
|
|
|
|
The outcome of pending or future litigation, including litigation with tenants or joint venture partners, may adversely affect the Companys
results of operations and financial condition;
|
|
|
|
The Company may not realize anticipated returns from its real estate assets outside the United States. The Company may continue to pursue international
opportunities that may subject the Company to different or greater risks than those associated with its domestic operations. The Company owns assets in Puerto Rico, an interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns properties in Brazil and an
interest in consolidated joint ventures that were formed to develop and own properties in Canada and Russia;
|
|
|
|
International development and ownership activities carry risks in addition to those the Company faces with the Companys domestic properties and
operations. These risks include the following:
|
|
|
|
Adverse effects of changes in exchange rates for foreign currencies;
|
|
|
|
Changes in foreign political or economic environments;
|
|
|
|
Challenges of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, including tax laws, and addressing different practices and customs relating to corporate
governance, operations and litigation;
|
|
|
|
Different lending practices;
|
|
|
|
Cultural and consumer differences;
|
|
|
|
Changes in applicable laws and regulations in the United States that affect foreign operations;
|
|
|
|
Difficulties in managing international operations; and
|
|
|
|
Obstacles to the repatriation of earnings and cash.
|
|
|
|
Although the Companys international activities are currently a relatively small portion of its business, to the extent the Company expands its
international activities, these risks could significantly increase and adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition;
|
|
|
|
The Company is subject to potential environmental liabilities;
|
|
|
|
The Company may incur losses that are uninsured or exceed policy coverage due to its liability for certain injuries to persons, property or the
environment occurring on its properties;
|
- 69 -
|
|
|
The Company could incur additional expenses to comply with or respond to claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act or otherwise be adversely
affected by changes in government regulations, including changes in environmental, zoning, tax and other regulations and
|
|
|
|
The Company may have to restate certain financial statements as a result of changes in, or the adoption of, new accounting rules and regulations to
which the Company is subject, including accounting rules and regulations affecting the Companys accounting policies.

The Company intends to use retained cash flow, proceeds from asset sales, financing and variable-rate
indebtedness available under its Revolving Credit Facilities to repay indebtedness and fund capital expenditures of the Companys shopping centers. Thus, to the extent the Company incurs additional variable-rate indebtedness, its exposure to
increases in interest rates in an inflationary period would increase. The Company does not believe, however, that increases in interest expense as a result of inflation will significantly impact the Companys distributable cash flow.
The interest rate risk on a portion of the Companys variable-rate debt described above has been mitigated through the
use of interest rate swap agreements (the Swaps) with major financial institutions. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest rate on the Companys $284.4 million and $150 million, respectively,
consolidated floating rate debt was swapped to fixed rates. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the Swaps. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into Swaps with major
financial institutions.
In February 2011, the Company entered into treasury locks with a notional amount of
$200 million. The treasury locks were terminated in connection with the issuance of unsecured notes in March 2011. The treasury locks were executed to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with forecasted interest payments associated
with the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate borrowings. The effective portion of these hedging relationships has been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the debt as an
adjustment to earnings, based on the effective-yield method.

The carrying value of the Companys fixed-rate debt is adjusted to include the
$284.4 million and $150 million that were swapped to a fixed rate at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of the Companys fixed-rate debt is adjusted to (i) include the swaps reflected
in the carrying value and (ii) include the Companys proportionate share of the joint venture fixed-rate debt. An estimate of the effect of a 100 basis-point increase at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, is summarized as
follows (in millions):

The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the Companys fixed-rate debt was
determined using a valuation model based upon factors that measure the net present value of such obligations that arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above.
Further, a 100 basis point increase in short-term market interest rates on variable-rate debt at September 30, 2011, would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $4.7 million for
the Company and $1.0 million representing the Companys proportionate share of the joint ventures interest expense relating to variable-rate debt outstanding for the nine-month period. The estimated increase in interest expense for the
year does not give effect to possible changes in the daily balance for the Companys or joint ventures outstanding variable-rate debt.
The Company and its joint ventures intend to continually monitor and actively manage interest costs on their variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap positions based on market fluctuations. In
addition, the Company believes that it has the ability to obtain funds through additional equity and/or debt offerings and joint venture capital. Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such protection agreements in relation to the Companys access
to capital markets will continue to be evaluated. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had no other
material exposure to market risk.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Based on their evaluation as required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), the Companys Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are effective as of the end of the period covered by
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and were effective as of the end of such period to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company issuer in reports that it files or submits under the Securities
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
Other
than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, the Company is not presently involved in any litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company or its properties that
is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity or results of operations of the Company.
The Company
is a party to various joint ventures with the Coventry II Fund, through which 11 existing or proposed retail properties, along with a portfolio of former Service Merchandise locations, were acquired at various times from 2003 through 2006. The
properties were acquired by the joint ventures as value-add investments, with major renovation and/or ground-up development contemplated for many of the properties. The Company is generally responsible for day-to-day management of the properties
through December 2011. On November 4, 2009, Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., Coventry Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, Coventry) filed suit against the Company and
certain of its affiliates and officers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company: (i) breached contractual obligations under a co-investment agreement and various joint venture
limited liability company agreements, project development agreements and management and leasing agreements; (ii) breached its fiduciary duties as a member of various limited liability companies; (iii) fraudulently induced the plaintiffs to
enter into certain agreements; and (iv) made certain material misrepresentations. The complaint also requests that a general release made by Coventry in favor of the Company in connection with one of the joint venture properties be voided on
the grounds of economic duress. The complaint seeks compensatory and consequential damages in an amount not less than $500 million, as well as punitive damages. In response, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint or, in the
alternative, to sever the plaintiffs claims. In June 2010, the court granted in part (regarding Coventrys claim that the Company breached a fiduciary duty owed to Coventry) and denied in part (all other claims) the Companys motion.
Coventry filed a notice of appeal regarding that portion of the motion granted by the court. In May 2011, the appeals court affirmed the trial courts ruling regarding the dismissal of Coventrys claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The
Company filed an answer to the complaint, and has asserted various counterclaims against Coventry. On October 10, 2011, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, seeking dismissal of all of Coventrys remaining claims.
The Company believes that the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit and that it has strong defenses against this lawsuit. The
Company will vigorously defend itself against the allegations contained in the complaint. This lawsuit is subject to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and, therefore, no assurance can be given as to its ultimate outcome and no
loss provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements because a loss contingency is not deemed probable or estimable. However, based on the information presently available to the Company, the Company does not expect that the
ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
- 74 -
On November 18, 2009, the Company filed a complaint against Coventry in the Court of
Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, seeking, among other things, a temporary restraining order enjoining Coventry from terminating for cause the management agreements between the Company and the various joint ventures because the
Company believes that the requisite conduct in a for-cause termination (i.e., fraud or willful misconduct committed by an executive of the Company at the level of at least senior vice president) did not occur. The court heard testimony
in support of the Companys motion (and Coventrys opposition) and on December 4, 2009, issued a ruling in the Companys favor. Specifically, the court issued a temporary restraining order enjoining Coventry from terminating the
Company as property manager for cause. The court found that the Company was likely to succeed on the merits, that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage would result to the Company in the absence of such restraint, and that the
balance of equities favored injunctive relief in the Companys favor. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a ruling by the Court that there was no basis for Coventrys for cause termination as a matter of
law. On August 2, 2011, the court entered an order granting the Companys motion for summary judgment in all respects, finding that as a matter of law and fact, Coventry did not have the right to terminate the management agreements for
cause. Coventry filed a notice of appeal of the courts ruling.
None.
