Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q constitute 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. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the
words anticipates, believes, expects, intends, future, and words of similar import which
express the Companys beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future performance or future
events or trends. While forward-looking statements reflect good faith beliefs, expectations or
intentions, they are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to
differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements as a result of factors outside of the Companys control. Certain
factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: real
estate investment considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in general
and in the Companys market areas in particular; the financial viability of the Companys tenants
(including an inability to pay rent, filing for bankruptcy protection, closing stores and/or
vacating the premises); the continuing availability of acquisition, development and redevelopment
opportunities, on favorable terms; the availability of equity and debt capital (including the
availability of construction financing) in the public and private markets; the availability of
suitable joint venture partners and potential purchasers of the Companys properties if offered for
sale; the ability of the Companys joint venture partners to fund their respective shares of
property acquisitions, tenant improvements and capital expenditures; changes in interest rates; the
fact that returns from acquisition, development and redevelopment activities may not be at expected
levels or at expected times; risks inherent in ongoing development and redevelopment projects
including, but not limited to, cost overruns resulting from weather delays, changes in the nature
and scope of development and redevelopment efforts, changes in governmental regulations relating
thereto, and market factors involved in the pricing of material and labor; the need to renew leases
or re-let space upon the expiration or termination of current leases and incur applicable required
replacement costs; and the financial flexibility of ourselves and our joint venture partners to
repay or refinance debt obligations when due and to fund tenant improvements and capital
expenditures.

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Preparation
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. (the Company) was organized in 1984 and elected to be taxed as
a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 1986. The Company focuses primarily on ownership,
operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored shopping centers predominately in
coastal mid-Atlantic and New England states. At June 30, 2010, the Company owned and managed 118
operating properties (eight properties in an unconsolidated joint venture).
Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) is the entity through
which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through
subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At June 30, 2010 the Company owned a 97.1% economic
interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners
interest in the Operating Partnership (2.9% at June 30, 2010) is represented by Operating
Partnership Units (OP Units). The carrying amount of such interest is adjusted at the end of each
reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners ownership percentage of the Operating
Partnerships net equity. The approximately 1.9 million OP Units outstanding at June 30, 2010 are
economically equivalent to the Companys common stock and are convertible into the Companys common
stock at the option of the respective holders on a one-to-one basis.
As used herein, the Company refers to Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar
Shopping Centers, Inc. only.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the
Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it
participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities (VIEs) for which it is the
primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following
characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) as a group, the
holders of the equity investment at risk (i) lack the power to make decisions about the entitys
activities, that significantly impacts the entitys performance through voting or similar rights,
(ii) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) have no right to
receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (c) the equity investors have voting rights
that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entitys
activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately
few voting rights. In January 2010, the Company adopted the updated accounting guidance for
determining whether an entity is a VIE, and requires the performance of a qualitative rather than a
quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated guidance requires
an entity to consolidate a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most
significantly impact the entitys economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of

the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial
statements. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the
current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market
conditions.
With respect to its 13 consolidated operating joint ventures, the Company has general
partnership interests of 20% in nine properties, 40% in two properties, 50% in one property and 75%
in one property. As (i) such entities are not VIEs, and (ii) the Company is the sole general
partner and exercises substantial operating control over these entities, the Company has determined
that such entities should be consolidated for financial statement purposes. Current accounting
guidance provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should
consolidate, a limited partnership or similar entity in which it owns a minority interest.
The Companys three 60%-owned joint ventures for development projects in Limerick, Pottsgrove
and Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, are consolidated as they are deemed to be VIEs and the Company is
the primary beneficiary in each case. At June 30, 2010, these VIEs owned real estate with a
carrying value of $135.9 million. The assets of the consolidated VIEs can be used to settle
obligations other than those of the consolidated VIE. At that date, one of the VIEs had a
property-specific mortgage loan payable aggregating $62.5 million, and the real estate owned by the
other two VIEs partially collateralized the secured revolving development property credit facility
to the extent of $28.1 million. Such obligations are guaranteed by, and are recourse to, the
Company.
With respect to its unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company has a 20% interest in a joint
venture with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust of Toronto, Canada, a publicly-traded Canadian
real estate investment trust (RioCan) formed initially for the acquisition of seven shopping
center properties owned by the Company; all seven properties had been transferred to the joint
venture by June 30, 2010. The accounting treatment presentation on the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet is to reflect the Companys applicable carrying values as real estate to be
transferred to a joint venture retroactively for all periods presented, whereas the accounting
treatment presentation on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations is to reflect the
results of the properties operations through the respective dates of transfer in current
operations and, prospectively following their transfer to the joint venture, as equity in income
of unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, the Company has a 76.3% limited partner interest in
a joint venture which owns a single-tenant office property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the
Company has no control over the entity and has minimal protective rights. In the case of the
Cedar/RioCan joint venture, although the Company provides management and other services, RioCan has
significant management participation rights. The Company has determined that these joint ventures
are not VIEs. The Company accounts for its investment in these joint ventures under the equity
method.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had deposits of $0.8 million on four land parcels to be
purchased for future development. Although each of the entities holding the deposits is considered
a VIE, the Company has not consolidated any of them as the Company is not the primary beneficiary
in each case.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim reporting. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal
recurring accruals) have been included. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company determined that at the time it acquired certain
properties during 2003 through 2009, it had underprovided for certain identifiable intangible lease
liabilities relating to fixed-price renewal options that were at below-market rates. At the time
such properties were acquired, the Company determined the fair value of such renewal options to be
immaterial, based upon the Companys assessment of a very low probability that any of such renewal
options would be exercised. Accordingly, the Company assigned a zero value to such renewal options.
The Company reconsidered these determinations during the first quarter of 2010, and concluded that
option renewal periods should have been valued with respect to certain of the leases. Using the
updated assumptions, the Company determined that the December 31, 2009 carrying amounts of
unamortized intangible lease liabilities and real estate, net, were understated by $8,429,000 and
$7,688,000, respectively (the latter amount net of a $741,000 cumulative depreciation adjustment
through December 31, 2009). In addition, total equity and limited partners interest in the
Operating Partnership were overstated by $723,000 and $18,000, respectively, as of December 31,
2009, reflecting the aforementioned cumulative depreciation adjustment.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), the Company determined these
adjustments to be immaterial to any full years consolidated financial statements. However, the
Company did determine that recording the adjustments entirely in the three months ended March 31,
2010 would have been material to the consolidated statement of operations for that period.
Accordingly, as provided by SAB 108, the Company retroactively revised its consolidated financial
statements for all prior periods, including the December 31,

Real Estate Investments and Discontinued Operations
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for
depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of
the respective assets of between 3 and 40 years. Depreciation expense amounted to $11.5 million and
$11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $22.0 million
and $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Expenditures for
betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures
for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life
of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.
Upon the sale (or treatment as held for sale) or other disposition of assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting
gain or impairment loss, if any, is reflected as discontinued operations. In addition, prior
periods financial statements would be reclassified to reflect the sold properties operations as
discontinued.
Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and
construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the
construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged
to operations through depreciation over the assets estimated useful life. Interest and financing
costs capitalized amounted to $0.7 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively. A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and
leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property,
development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related
costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to
capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The
Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held
available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under
development. The Company considers a construction project to be substantially completed and held
available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year
from cessation of major construction activity.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of
recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from
the real estate investments use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such
as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing
demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability
to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the
extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Real estate investments held for sale
are carried at the lower of their respective carrying amounts or estimated fair values, less costs
to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the periods held for sale.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, the
Company wrote off approximately $1.3 million of costs incurred in prior years for a potential
development project in Williamsport, Pennsylvania that the Company determined would not go forward.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the six months ended June 30,

2009, the Company
wrote off costs incurred related to the acquisitions of San Souci Plaza and New London Mall (net of
minority interest share) and the costs primarily associated with a cancelled acquisition (an
aggregate of approximately $1.5 million).
In connection with the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, the Company recorded
additional impairment charges related principally to the remaining completion work at the Blue
Mountain Commons property transferred to the joint venture in December 2009 ($0.6 million and $2.1
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively). The accounting treatment
presentation on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is to reflect the results of
the properties operations through the respective dates of transfer in current operations and,
prospectively, following their transfer to the joint venture, as equity in income of
unconsolidated joint ventures. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of operations includes
revenues prior to the properties being transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture in the amounts
of $0.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for three months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009, and $3.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company has treated as held for sale its 105,000 square foot Long
Reach Village shopping center, located in Columbia, Maryland, with a projected sales price of
approximately $5.5 million. In connection with the decision to sell the property, the Company has
recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.0 million during the three months ended June 30,
2010. On February 25, 2010, the Company sold its 7,000 square foot Family Dollar convenience
center, located in Zanesville, Ohio, for a sales price of $575,000; the Company realized a net gain
on the transaction of approximately $170,000. The properties results of operations have been
classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the year ended December
31, 2009, the Company sold, or treated as held for sale, nine of its drug store/convenience
centers, located in Ohio and New York. Of these, three centers were sold during the three months
ended March 31, 2010 for an aggregate sales price of approximately $10.1 million. In connection
with these transactions, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of approximately
$248,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The following is a summary of the components of (loss) income from discontinued operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Conditional asset retirement obligation
A conditional asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement
activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may
or may not be within the control of the Company. The Company would record a liability for a
conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably
estimated. Environmental studies conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to all of the
Companys properties did not reveal any material environmental liabilities (the principal
conditional asset retirement obligation), and the Company is unaware of any subsequent
environmental matters that would have created a material liability. The Company believes that its
properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as
well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements. There were no conditional
asset retirement obligation liabilities recorded by the Company during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the updated accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements and
disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

These standards did
not materially affect how the Company determines fair value, but resulted in certain additional
disclosures.
The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable
inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
| Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | ||
| Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | ||
| Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority
to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent
possible while also considering counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. Financial
liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of interest
rate swaps. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation
techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis, on the expected cash flows of each derivative.
The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and
uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (significant other observable
inputs). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using
significant unobservable inputs such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the
likelihood of default. The Company has concluded, as of June 30, 2010, that the fair value
associated with the significant unobservable inputs relating to the Companys risk of
non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements
and, as a result, the Company has determined that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating
the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon
significant other observable inputs. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value
in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate to be transferred to a joint
venture and real estate held for sale discontinued operations.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other
receivables, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value. The
valuation of the liability for the Companys interest rate swaps ($1.8 million at June 30, 2010 and
$5.9 million at December 31, 2009), which is measured on a recurring basis, was determined to
be a Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and was based on independent values provided by
financial institutions. The valuations of the assets for the Companys real estate to be
transferred to a joint venture and real estate held for sale discontinued operations ($0 and
$8.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2010, and $139.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively,
at December

31, 2009), which is measured on a nonrecurring basis, have been determined to be a
Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on the respective contracts of transfer
and/or sale.
The fair value of the Companys fixed rate mortgage loans was estimated using significant
other observable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flows analyses
based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the aggregate fair values of the Companys fixed rate
mortgage loans were approximately $587.6 million and $579.2 million, respectively; the carrying
values of such loans were $604.7 million and $606.1 million, respectively, at those dates.
Intangible Lease Asset/Liability
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and
improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease
assets and liabilities.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the
property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements
based on managements determination of the relative fair values of these assets. In valuing an
acquired propertys intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying
costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating
expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its
evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases,
including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. These are level
3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present
values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the
differences between the contractual amounts to be received and managements estimate of market
lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at
the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancellable terms
of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal period(s). The fair values associated
with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Companys experience and the
relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of
above-market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable
lease periods. The portion of the values of below-market leases associated with the original
non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective
non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below-market
renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective
renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant
improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable

terms of the respective leases. If
a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not
renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at
that time.
With respect to the Companys acquisitions, the fair values of in-place leases and other
intangibles are allocated to the intangible asset and liability accounts. Such allocations are
preliminary and are based on information and estimates available as of the respective dates of
acquisition. As final information becomes available and is refined, appropriate adjustments are
made to the purchase price allocations, which are finalized within twelve months of the respective
dates of acquisition.
Unamortized intangible lease liabilities relate primarily to below-market leases, and amounted
to $51.6 million and $53.7 (as revised) million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively.
As a result of recording the intangible lease assets and liabilities, (i) revenues were
increased by $2.7 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and $5.0 million and $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, relating to the amortization of intangible lease liabilities, and (ii) depreciation
and amortization expense was increased correspondingly by $2.8 million and $3.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $5.7 and $7.2 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original
maturities of less than ninety days from the date of purchase, and include cash at consolidated
joint ventures of $7.3 million and $7.4 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively.
Restricted Cash
The terms of several of the Companys mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit
certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such restricted cash is generally
available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established and is
not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
Rents and Other Receivables
Management has determined that all of the Companys leases with its various tenants are
operating leases. Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line
method over the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of

rental
revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual base rents is included in
straight-line rents on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions
under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real
estate taxes incurred generally attributable to their respective allocable portions of the total
GLA; under certain leases, such reimbursements are capped, i.e., limited to a specified dollar or
percentage amount. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, a limited
number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required
to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount. The
Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until such specified sales targets are met.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to
base rent, straight-line rent, percentage rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. When
management analyzes accounts receivable and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts, it considers such things as historical bad debts, tenant creditworthiness, current
economic trends, current developments relevant to a tenants business specifically and to its
business category generally, and changes in tenants payment patterns. The allowance for doubtful
accounts was $4.6 million and $5.3 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
The provision for doubtful accounts (included in operating, maintenance and management expenses)
was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively,
and $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk
consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured amounts and tenant receivables.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions.
Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires certain tenants to
provide security deposits and/or suitable guarantees.
Other Assets
Other assets at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are comprised of the following:

Deferred charges are amortized over the terms of the related agreements. Amortization
expense related to deferred charges (including amortization of deferred financing costs included in
non-operating income and expense) amounted to $2.1 million and $1.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $4.0 million and $3.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the Code). A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation
on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it
distributes at least 90% of such REIT taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain
other requirements. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements.

The Company follows a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition
(step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical
merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines
the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of
a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines
that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use
of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited. The
Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions which would require an accrual.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate
swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has established
policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of
derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments must be effective in reducing
the Companys interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms
of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all
changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in
net income for each period until the derivative instrument matures or is settled. Any derivative
instrument used for risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market
with the changes in value included in net income. The Company has not entered into, and does not
plan to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Additionally, the Company has a policy of entering into derivative contracts only with major
financial institutions. On January 20, 2010, the Company paid approximately $5.5 million to
terminate interest rate swaps applicable to the financing for its development joint venture
property in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company believes it has no significant risk associated with
non-performance of the financial institutions which are the counterparties to its derivative
contracts. Additionally, based on the rates in effect as of June 30, 2010, if a counterparty were
to default, the Company would receive a net interest benefit. At June 30, 2010, the Company had
approximately $20.3 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps. Such interest
rate swaps converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates of 5.4% and 6.5% per annum.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.8 million (included in accounts
payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of
interest rate swaps applicable to mortgage loans payable. Charges and/or credits relating to the
changes in fair values of such interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive
(loss) income, noncontrolling interests (minority interests in consolidated joint ventures and
limited partners interest), or operations (included in interest expense), as appropriate.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the
Companys common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period (including restricted shares and shares held by Rabbi Trusts). Fully-diluted EPS reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into shares of common stock. The calculation of the number of such
additional shares was 52,000 and 39,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 related to the warrants issued to RioCan; however such amounts were antidilutive as the
Company reported a net loss in both periods. The calculation of the number of such additional
shares related to other warrants and stock options outstanding was anti-dilutive for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009. Fully-dilutive EPS was the same

as basic EPS for all periods.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Companys 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan) establishes the procedures for
the granting of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance
units and performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock that may
be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 2,750,000, and the maximum number of shares that may be
granted to a participant in any calendar year may not exceed 250,000. Substantially all grants
issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan are restricted stock grants which specify vesting (i) upon
the third anniversary of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (ii) upon the completion of a
designated period of performance for performance-based grants. For the shares granted in connection
with the Companys performance-based target bonus compensation arrangements for 2009 (granted in
March 2010), such shares will vest one year from the date of grant. Timebased grants are valued
according to the market price for the Companys common stock at the date of grant. For
performance-based grants, the Company generally engages an independent appraisal company to
determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying
contingency risks associated with the performance criteria.
In January 2008 and June 2008, the Company issued 53,000 shares and 7,000 shares of common
stock, respectively, as performance-based grants, which will vest if the total annual return on an
investment in the Companys common stock (TSR) over the three-year period ending December 31,
2010 is equal to, or greater than, an average of 8% per year. The independent appraisal determined
the value of the January 2008 performance-based shares to be $6.05 per share, compared to a market
price at the date of grant of $10.07 per share; similar methodology determined the value of the
June 2008 performance-based shares to be $10.31 per share, compared to a market price at the date
of grant of $12.13 per share.
In January 2009, the Company issued 218,000 shares of common stock as performance-based
grants, which will vest if the TSR over the three-year period ending December 31, 2011 is equal to,
or greater than, a blended measure of (i) an average of 6% TSR per year on the Companys common
stock, and (ii) the median TSR per year of the Companys peer group. The independent appraisal
determined the value of the performance-based shares to be $5.96 per share, compared to a market
price at the date of grant of $7.02 per share.
In January 2010, the Company issued 227,000 shares of common stock as performance-based
grants, (a) 76,000 shares, (b) 76,000 shares, and (c) 75,000 shares, respectively, which will vest
(a) if the TSR on the Companys common stock is at least an average of 6% per year for the three
years ending December 31, 2012, (b) if there is a positive comparison of TSR on the Companys
common stock to the median of the TSR for the Companys peer group for the three years ending
December 31, 2012, and (c) based on improvements in operating results, to be

defined, over the
three years ending December 31, 2012. The independent appraisal determined the values of the
category (a) and (b) performance-based shares to be $4.56 per share and $6.00 per share,
respectively, compared to a market price at the date of grant of $6.70 per share.
The additional restricted shares issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009 were time-based grants, and amounted to 4,000 shares and 0 shares for the three
months June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 278,000 shares and 376,000 shares for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The value of all grants is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods (irrespective of achievement of the
performance grants) adjusted, as applicable, for fluctuations in the market value of the Companys
common stock. Those grants of restricted shares that are transferred to Rabbi Trusts are classified
as treasury stock on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The following table sets forth
certain stock-based compensation information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures,
which requires disclosure of details of significant asset or liability transfers in and out of
Level 1 and Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy and inclusion of gross purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of assets and liabilities valued using Level 3
inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The guidance also clarifies and expands

existing disclosure requirements related to the disaggregation of fair value disclosures and
inputs used in arriving at fair values for assets and liabilities using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs
within the fair value hierarchy. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3
rollforward, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and
for the respective interim periods within those years. The adoption of that portion of the guidance
that became effective on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements; the Company does not expect the adoption of that portion of the guidance
which becomes effective on January 1, 2011 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
Note 3. Real Estate/Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company and RioCan have entered into an 80% (RioCan) and 20% (Cedar) joint venture (i)
initially for the purchase of seven supermarket-anchored properties previously owned by the
Company, and (ii) then to acquire additional primarily supermarket-anchored properties in the
Companys primary market areas, in the same joint venture format. Two properties (Blue Mountain
Commons, located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Sunset Crossing, located in Dickson City,
Pennsylvania) were transferred to the joint venture in December 2009, two properties (Franklin
Village Plaza, located in Franklin, Massachusetts and Columbus Crossing Shopping Center, located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) were transferred to the joint venture on February 4, 2010 and February
23, 2010, respectively, two properties (Shaws Plaza, located in Raynham, Massachusetts and Stop &
Shop Plaza, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut) were transferred to the joint venture on April 27,
2010, and the last property (Loyal Plaza Shopping Center, located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania)
was transferred to the joint venture on May 27, 2010. The 2010 property transfers resulted in net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $29.9 million, all of which were used to repay/reduce the
outstanding balances under the Companys secured revolving credit facilities.
On January 26, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Town Square Plaza shopping
center located in Temple, Pennsylvania, an approximately 128,000 square foot supermarket-anchored
shopping center which was completed in 2008. The purchase price for the property, which was
unencumbered, was approximately $19.0 million. In connection with the transaction, the Company
earned an acquisition fee of $141,000 and the Company paid its investment advisor a fee of
approximately $190,000; the net amounts are reflected in transaction costs in the accompanying
statements of operations.
The following summarizes certain financial information related to the Companys investment in
unconsolidated joint ventures at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In addition, the Company has a 76.3% interest in a joint venture which owns a
single-tenant office property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Companys investment in this joint
venture was $5.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009;
the Companys share of the joint ventures net income was $0.3 million for each of the three month
periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and $0.5 million for each of the six month periods ended June
30, 2010 and 2009.
On April 22, 2010, an agreement to acquire a 230,000 square foot single-tenant office property
on a 15 acre parcel of land adjacent to the Companys 76.3%-owned joint venture property in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (with the same tenant) became non-cancelable. The closing, which is
expected during the second half 2010, will require cash (principally the funding of lender escrows,
but excluding other closing costs and adjustments) of approximately $2.2 million (to be funded from
the Companys secured revolving stabilized property credit facility) and the assumption of a $13.1
million first mortgage loan (subject to lender approval), bearing interest at 6.5% and maturing in
2012.
Real Estate Pledged
At June 30, 2010 a substantial portion of the Companys real estate was pledged as collateral
for mortgage loans payable and the revolving credit facilities.

Included in variable-rate mortgages is the Companys $77.7 million construction facility
with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which
the Company has pledged its joint venture development property in Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania as
collateral for borrowings thereunder. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and will expire in
September 2011, subject to a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest
at the Companys option at either LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points (bps), or the agent
banks prime rate. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $62.5 million at June 30,
2010, and such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 2.6% per annum. As of June 30, 2010,
the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required
by the terms of the construction facility.
Secured Revolving Stabilized Property Credit Facility
In November 2009, the Company closed an amended and restated secured revolving stabilized
property credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, together with three
other lead lenders and other participating banks, with present commitments from participants of
$285.0 million. The facility is expandable to $400 million, subject to certain conditions,
including acceptable collateral and will expire on January 31, 2012, subject to a one-year
extension option.. The principal terms of the facility include (i) an availability based primarily
on appraisals, with a 67.5% advance rate, (ii) an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 350 bps, with a
200 bps LIBOR floor, (iii) a leverage ratio limited to 67.5%, and (iv) an unused portion fee of 50 bps.

Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $81.8 million at June 30, 2010, such
borrowings bore interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum, and the Company had pledged 33 of its
shopping center properties as collateral for such borrowings.
The secured revolving stabilized property credit facility has been, and will be, used to fund
acquisitions, certain development and redevelopment activities, capital expenditures, mortgage
repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The
facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including limits on leverage and
distributions (limited to 95% of funds from operations, as defined), and other financial statement
ratios. Based on covenant measurements and collateral in place as of June 30, 2010, the Company was
permitted to draw up to approximately $175.9 million, of which approximately $94.1 million remained
available as of that date. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial
covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the secured revolving stabilized
property credit facility.
Secured Revolving Development Property Credit Facility
The Company has a $150 million secured revolving development property credit facility with
KeyBank, National Association (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has
pledged certain of its development projects and redevelopment properties as collateral for
borrowings thereunder. The facility, as amended, is expandable to $250 million, subject to certain
conditions, including acceptable collateral, and will expire in June 2011, subject to a one-year
extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the Companys option at either
LIBOR or the agent banks prime rate, plus a spread of 225 bps or 75 bps, respectively. Advances
under the facility are calculated at the least of 70% of aggregate project costs, 70% of as
stabilized appraised values, or costs incurred in excess of a 30% equity requirement on the part
of the Company. The facility also requires an unused portion fee of 15 bps. This facility has been,
and will be, used to fund in part the Companys and certain consolidated joint ventures
development activities. In order to draw funds under this construction facility, the Company must
meet certain pre-leasing and other conditions. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated
$86.0 million at June 30, 2010; such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 2.6% per annum.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial
statement ratios required by the terms of the secured revolving development property credit
facility.
Note 5. Common Stock
The Company in October 2009 (1) sold to RioCan 6,666,666 shares of the Companys common stock
at $6.00 per share in a private placement for an aggregate of $40 million (RioCan agreeing that it
would not sell any of such shares for a period of one year), (2) issued to RioCan warrants to purchase 1,428,570 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of

$7.00 per share (RioCan exercised its warrant on April 27, 2010 and the Company realized net
proceeds of $10.0 million), and (3) entered into a standstill agreement with respect to increases
in RioCans ownership of the Companys common stock for a three-year period. In addition, subject
to certain exceptions, the Company agreed that it would not issue any new shares of common stock
unless RioCan is offered the right to purchase that additional number of shares that would maintain
its pro rata percentage ownership, on a fully diluted basis.
The Company has a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the SEPA Agreement) with an investment
company for sales of its shares of common stock aggregating up to $45 million over a two-year
commitment period ending in September 2011. Under the terms of the SEPA Agreement, the Company may
sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock at a discount to market of 1.75%. The amount of
these daily sales is generally limited to the lesser of 20% of the average daily trading volume or
$1.0 million. In connection with these sales transactions, the Company agreed to pay an investment
advisor a 0.75% placement agent fee. In addition, the Company may require the investment company to
advance from time to time up to $5.0 million provided, however, that the Company may only request
these larger advances approximately once a month. With respect to such advances, the common stock
sales are at a discount to market of 2.75% and the placement agent fee is 1.25%. As the Company has
a conditional obligation to issue a variable number of shares of its common stock, advances are
initially recorded as a liability, and as shares are sold on a daily basis and the advance is
settled, such liability is reflected in equity. At December 31, 2009, there was an unsettled
advance liability of $5.0 million, which was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
on the consolidated balance sheet. Such advance was settled in January and February 2010 by the
sale of 718,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an average selling price of $6.97 per
share. On April 15, 2010, the Company received a $5.0 million advance pursuant to the SEPA
Agreement. Such advance was settled in April and May 2010 by the sale of 667,000 shares of the
Companys common stock at an average selling price of $7.52 per share.
On February 5, 2010, the Company concluded a public offering of 7,500,000 shares of its common
stock at $6.60 per share, and realized net proceeds after offering expenses of approximately $47.0
million. On March 3, 2010, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of
698,000 shares, and the Company realized additional net proceeds of $4.3 million. In connection
with the offering, RioCan acquired 1,350,000 shares of the Companys common stock, including
100,000 shares acquired in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option, and the
Company realized net proceeds of $8.9 million.
On February 5, 2010, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that registered the offering of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common
stock under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the DRIP). The
DRIP offers a convenient method for shareholders to invest cash dividends and/or make optional cash
payments to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at 98%

of their market value. There were no significant DRIP transactions during the six months ended
June 30, 2010.
In connection with a litigation settlement in April 2010 in the Companys favor, the Company
received a cash payment of $750,000. In addition, the defendants acquired 94,000 shares of the
Companys common stock at an average price of $8.01 per share from which the Company realized net
proceeds of an additional $750,000.
During 2001, pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan), the Company granted
to the then directors options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 13,000 shares of common
stock at $10.50 per share, the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of the grant.
The options are fully exercisable and expire in July 2011. In connection with the adoption of the
Incentive Plan, the Company agreed that it would not grant any more options under the Option Plan.
In connection with an acquisition of a shopping center in 2002, the Operating Partnership
issued warrants to purchase approximately 83,000 OP Units to a then minority interest partner in
the property. Such warrants have an exercise price of $13.50 per unit, subject to certain
anti-dilution adjustments, are fully vested, and expire in May 2012.
Note 6. Subsequent Events
In determining subsequent events, management reviewed all activity from July 1, 2010 through
the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On July 2, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture financed three previously unpledged properties
(Blue Mountain Commons, Sunset Crossing and Town Square Plaza) and borrowed $33.0 million. Of the
proceeds distributed to the partners (net of closing fees and expenses), including the return of a
previously-advanced deposit, the Company received approximately $6.8 million.
On July 6, 2010, the Company issued 625,000 shares of its common stock in connection with its
DRIP and realized net proceeds of $3.5 million (an average of $5.61 per share)
and on August 4, 2010 the Company issued 141,000 shares of its common
stock in connection with its DRIP and realized net proceeds of $0.85
million (an average of $6.06 per share).
On July 8, 2010, the Company transferred a collateral property from its secured revolving
stabilized property credit facility to its secured revolving development property credit facility,
thereby reducing/increasing the outstanding balances under each respective facility by $14.1
million. Reflecting this transaction, the amount the Company is permitted to draw under the secured
revolving stabilized property credit facility was adjusted from $175.9 million to $166.6 million.

On August 3, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Exeter Commons shopping center
located in Exeter (Reading), Pennsylvania, an approximately 361,000 square foot multi-anchored
shopping center that was completed in 2009. The purchase price for the property was approximately
$53.0 million, excluding closing costs and adjustments. Simultaneous with the property closing, the
venture concluded a first mortgage loan on the property in the amount of $30.0 million, bearing
interest at 5.3% and maturing in 2020; the cash required at closing was approximately $23.0 million
(excluding closing costs and adjustments) of which the Companys share was approximately $4.6
million, funded from its secured revolving stabilized property credit facility.
On August 5, 2010, an
agreement by the Cedar/RioCan joint venture to acquire
an approximately 120,000 square foot
supermarket-anchored shopping center located in eastern Connecticut became non-cancelable. The
purchase price for the property is expected to be approximately $19.2 million, excluding closing
costs and adjustments, of which the Companys share is expected to be approximately $3.8 million,
to be funded from its secured revolving stabilized property credit facility.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated
financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Executive Summary
The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust which focuses primarily on
ownership, operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored shopping centers
predominately in coastal mid-Atlantic and New England states. At June 30, 2010, the Company owned
and managed (both wholly-owned and in joint venture) a portfolio of 118 operating properties
totaling approximately 13.0 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA), including 93
wholly-owned properties comprising approximately 9.4 million square feet, 13 properties owned in
joint venture (consolidated) comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet, eight properties
partially-owned in a managed unconsolidated joint venture comprising approximately 1.3 million
square feet, and four ground-up development properties comprising approximately 0.6 million square
feet. Excluding the four ground-up development properties, the 114 property portfolio was
approximately 90% leased at June 30, 2010. The Company also owned approximately 193.8 acres of land
parcels, a significant portion of which is under development. In addition, the Company has a 76.3%
interest in another unconsolidated joint venture, which it does not manage, which owns a
single-tenant office property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership
structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to the Operating Partnership,
organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Company conducts substantially
all of its business through the Operating Partnership. At June 30, 2010, the Company owned 97.1% of
the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. OP Units are economically equivalent to
the Companys common stock and are convertible into the Companys common stock at the option of the
holders on a one-to-one basis.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense
reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Companys operating results therefore
depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases.
The Company focuses its investment activities on supermarket-anchored community shopping centers.
The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods
and services generally available at such centers, its type of
necessities-based properties should
provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times. In April 2009, the
Companys Board of Directors suspended the dividend for the balance of the year. This decision was
in response to the then-current state of the economy, the difficult retail environment, the
constrained capital markets and the need to renew the Companys secured revolving stabilized
property credit facility. In December 2009, following a review of the state of the economy and the
Companys financial position, the Companys Board of Directors determined to resume payment of a
cash dividend in the amount of $0.09 per share ($0.36 per share on an annualized basis) on the
Companys common stock.
34
Table of Contents
The Company has historically sought opportunities to acquire properties suited for development and/or redevelopment where it can utilize its experience in shopping center
construction, renovation, expansion, re-leasing and re-merchandising to achieve long-term cash flow
growth and favorable investment returns. In connection with the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, the
Company will seek to acquire primarily supermarket-anchored stabilized properties in its primary
market areas during the next two years.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the
Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing
basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and the
allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and purchase accounting
allocations related thereto, asset impairment, and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks.
Managements estimates are based both on information that is currently available and on various
other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results
could differ from those estimates and those estimates could be different under varying assumptions
or conditions.
The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies, the application of
which requires significant judgments and estimates:
Revenue Recognition
Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over
the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue
recognized on a straight-line basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included
in straight-line rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain
provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating
expenses and real estate taxes incurred generally attributable to their respective allocable
portions of the total GLA; under certain leases, such reimbursements are capped, i.e., limited to
a specified dollar or percentage amount. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In
addition, a limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which
tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a
specified amount. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until such specified
sales targets are met.
The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to
base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes
accounts receivable by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and
changes in tenants payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because a higher bad debt
allowance would result in lower net income, whereas a lower bad debt allowance would result in
higher net income.
35
Table of Contents
Real Estate Investments
Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for
depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal
useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures for betterments that
substantially extend the useful lives of real estate assets are capitalized. Real estate
investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in
progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction
and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations
through depreciation over the assets estimated useful life. The Company is required to make
subjective estimates as to the useful lives of its real estate assets for purposes of determining
the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on
net income. A shorter estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of increasing
depreciation expense and lowering net income, whereas a longer estimate of the useful life of an
asset would have the effect of reducing depreciation expense and increasing net income.
A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of a property,
such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs,
construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs
incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it
is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases
capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for
occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under construction. The
Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for
occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of
major development activity. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete
and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The effect of a longer capitalization
period would be to increase capitalized costs and would result in higher net income, whereas the
effect of a shorter capitalization period would be to reduce capitalized costs and would result in
lower net income.
The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and
improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease
assets and liabilities.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the
property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements
based on managements determination of the relative fair values of these assets. In valuing an
acquired propertys intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying
costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating
expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its
evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases,
including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
36
Table of Contents
The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present
values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the
differences between the contractual amounts to be received and managements estimate of market
lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at
the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancellable terms
of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal period(s). The fair values associated
with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Companys experience and the
relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of
above-market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable
lease periods. The portion of the values of below-market leases associated with the original
non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective
non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below-market
renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective
renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant
improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If
a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized
amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
Management is required to make subjective assessments in connection with its valuation of real
estate acquisitions. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because (i) above-market
and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to rental income, and (ii) the value of other
intangibles is amortized to expense. Accordingly, higher allocations to below-market lease
liability and other intangibles would result in higher rental income and amortization expense,
whereas lower allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would result in
lower rental income and amortization expense.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of
recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from
the real estate investments use and eventual disposition. These estimates of cash flows consider
factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of
leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected
inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded
to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. A real estate investment held
for sale is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value, less the cost of a
potential sale. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period the property is held
for sale. Management is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments
in the value of its real estate properties. These assessments have a direct impact on net income,
because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the assessment is made.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Companys 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan) establishes the procedures for
the granting of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance
units and performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock that may
be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan, as amended, is 2,750,000, and the maximum number of
shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year is 250,000. Substantially all
grants issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan are restricted stock grants which specify vesting
(i) upon the third anniversary of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (ii) upon the
completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants. For the shares
granted in connection with the Companys performance-based target bonus compensation arrangements
for 2009 (granted in March 2010), such shares will vest one year from the date of grant.
Timebased grants are valued according to the market price for the Companys common stock at the
date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company engages an independent appraisal company
to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying
contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. These value estimates have a direct
impact on net income, because higher valuations would result in lower net income, whereas lower
valuations would result in higher net income. The value of such grants is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods, as adjusted for fluctuations in the market
value of the Companys common stock.
Results of Operations
Differences in results of operations between 2010 and 2009 were primarily the result of the
impact of the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, the Companys property
acquisition/disposition program, and continuing development/redevelopment activities. During the
period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, the Company acquired two shopping centers aggregating
approximately 522,000 square feet of GLA for a total cost of approximately $72.5 million. In
addition, the Company placed into service four ground-up developments having an aggregate cost of
approximately $150.8 million. The Company sold ten drug store/convenience centers aggregating
approximately 311,000 square feet of GLA for an aggregate sales price of approximately $27.7
million. In addition, as of June 30, 2010, the Company has treated as held for sale a
supermarket-anchored shopping center aggregating approximately 105,000 square feet of GLA. The
Company has transferred seven properties to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, aggregating
approximately 1,167,000 square feet of GLA. In connection with such transfer, the Company realized
approximately $64 million in net proceeds. Net (loss) income was ($2.5) million and $1.9 million
for three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and ($3.7) million and $7.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Properties held in both periods. The Company held 101 properties throughout the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Total revenues decreased primarily as a result of (i) a decrease in base rents ($0.7 million),
(ii) a decrease in non-cash amortization of intangible lease liabilities primarily as a result of
the completion of scheduled amortization at certain properties ($0.6 million), (iii) a decrease in
tenant recovery income ($0.4 million), and (iv) a decrease in percentage rent ($0.1 million),
partially offset by an increase in straight-line rental income and an increase in other income
($0.1 million). In connection with the worsening economic climate beginning in the latter part of
2008 and continuing throughout the respective periods, the Company received a number of requests
from tenants for rent relief. While the Company did in fact grant such relief in selected limited
circumstances, the aggregate amount of such relief granted had a limited impact on results of
operations. However, there can be no assurance that the amount of such relief will not become more
significant in future periods.
Property operating expenses decreased primarily as a result of (i) a decrease in insurance
expense ($0.1 million) and (ii) a decrease in bad debt expense ($0.1 million).

Table of Contents
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily as the result of a decrease in
mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation.
Impairments reflect additional impairment charges related principally to the properties
transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture.
Terminated projects and acquisition transaction costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009
include a write-off of approximately $2.4 million of costs incurred in prior years for a
potential development project in New Milford, Delaware that the Company determined would not
go forward.
Non-operating income and expense, net, increased primarily as a result of (i) higher
amortization of deferred financing costs ($0.5 million) resulting from (a) extending the secured
revolving stabilized property credit facility, originally in January 2009 and again in November
2009, and (b) the secured revolving development property credit facility and the property-specific
construction facility, having closed in June 2008 and September 2008, respectively, being
outstanding throughout all of 2009, (ii) higher loan interest expense principally related to an
increase in the interest rate for the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, and an
increase in borrowings under the secured revolving development property credit facility, which was
partially offset by a reduction in the outstanding balance of the stabilized property line of
credit ($0.5 million), (iii) a decrease in development activity reducing the amount of interest
expense capitalized to development projects ($0.7 million), partially offset by (iv) a decrease in
mortgage interest expense ($0.7 million) principally related to the transfer of properties to the
Cedar/RioCan joint venture, and (v) an increase in equity in income of unconsolidated joint
ventures ($0.2 million).
Discontinued operations for 2010 and 2009 include the results of operations and, where
applicable, gain on sale ($0.3 million) and impairment charges ($3.0 million) and ($0.2 million),
respectively, for ten of the Companys drug store/convenience centers which it sold, located in
Ohio and New York, and one supermarket-anchored center located in Columbia, Maryland, discussed
elsewhere in this report.

Properties held in both periods. The Company held 99 properties throughout the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Total revenues decreased primarily as a result of (i) a decrease in non-cash amortization of
intangible lease liabilities primarily as a result of the completion of scheduled amortization at
certain properties ($1.4 million) (which also resulted in a decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense), (ii) a decrease in base rents ($1.2 million), (iii) a decrease in tenant
recovery income ($0.6 million), (iv) a decrease in other income predominately related to insurance
proceeds received during the second quarter of 2009 ($0.1 million), (v) a decrease in non-cash
straight-line rents primarily as a result of early lease terminations ($0.1 million) and (vi) a
decrease in percentage rent ($0.1 million). In connection with the worsening economic climate beginning in
the latter part of 2008 and continuing throughout the respective periods, the Company received a
number of requests from tenants for rent relief. While the Company did in fact grant such relief in
selected limited circumstances, the aggregate amount of such relief granted had a limited impact on
results of operations.
Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of (i) an increase in snow removal
costs ($0.6 million), (ii) an increase in utilities ($0.1 million) and (iii) an increase in repairs
and maintenance ($0.1 million), partially offset by (iv) a decrease in insurance expense ($0.3
million) and (v) a decrease in bad debt expense ($0.1 million).

General and administrative expenses increased primarily as the result of an increase in
mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation, offset by proceeds from the
settlement of a lawsuit in the Companys favor ($0.8 million).
Impairments reflect an additional impairment charge related principally to completion of work
at the Blue Mountain Commons property transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture in December
2009.
Terminated projects and acquisition transaction costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010
include a write-off of approximately $1.3 million of costs incurred in prior years for a potential
development project in Williamsport, Pennsylvania that the Company determined would not go forward.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company wrote off costs incurred related to the
acquisitions of San Souci Plaza and New London Mall (net of minority interest share) and the costs
primarily associated with a cancelled acquisition (an aggregate of approximately $1.5 million) and
$2.4 million of costs incurred in prior years for a potential development project in New Milford,
Delaware that the Company determined would not go forward.
Non-operating income and expense, net, increased primarily as a result of (i) higher
amortization of deferred financing costs ($1.0 million) resulting from (a) extending the secured
revolving stabilized property credit facility, originally in January 2009 and again in November
2009, and (b) the secured revolving development property credit facility and the property-specific
construction facility, closed in June 2008 and September 2008, respectively, and outstanding
throughout all of 2009, (ii) higher loan interest expense principally related to an increase in the
interest rate for the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility and increase in
borrowings under the secured revolving development property credit facility, which was partially
offset by a reduction in the outstanding balance of the secured revolving stabilized property
credit facility ($1.6 million), (iii) a decrease in the development activity reducing the amount of
interest expense capitalized to the development projects ($1.3 million), (iv) a decrease in the
gain on sale of land parcel ($0.2 million), partially offset by (v) a decrease in mortgage interest
expense ($0.4 million) principally related to the transfer of properties to the Cedar/RioCan joint
venture, and (vi) an increase in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures ($0.3 million).
Discontinued operations for 2010 and 2009 include the results of operations and, where
applicable, gain on sales ($170,000) and ($277,000), respectively, and impairment charges ($3.2
million) and ($0.2 million), respectively, for ten of the Companys drug store/convenience centers
which it sold, located in Ohio and New York, and one supermarket-anchored center located in
Columbia, Maryland, discussed elsewhere in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds operating expenses and other liquidity requirements, including debt service,
tenant improvements, leasing commissions, preferred and common dividend distributions, if made, and
distributions to minority interest partners, primarily from operations. The Company has also used
its secured revolving stabilized property credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects
to fund liquidity needs for property acquisitions, joint venture requirements, development and/or
redevelopment costs, capital improvements, and maturing debt initially with its credit facilities
and construction financing, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or assuming
additional mortgage debt, the sale of equity securities, the issuance of additional OP Units, and
the sale of properties or interests therein (including joint venture arrangements).
Throughout most of 2009 and continuing into 2010, there has been a fundamental contraction of
U.S. credit and capital markets, whereby banks and other credit providers have tightened their
lending standards and severely restricted the availability of credit. Accordingly, for this and
other reasons, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the availability of mortgage
financing on unpledged properties and/or completed development projects, additional construction
financing, net proceeds from the contribution of properties to joint ventures, the ability to sell
or otherwise dispose properties on favorable terms, or proceeds from the refinancing of existing
debt.
In April 2009, the Companys Board of Directors determined to suspend payment of cash
dividends with respect to its common stock and OP Units for the balance of 2009. This decision was
in response to the state of the economy, the difficult retail environment, the constrained capital
markets and the need to renew the Companys secured revolving stabilized property credit facility.
In December 2009, following a review of the state of the economy and the Companys financial
position, the Companys Board of Directors determined to resume payment of a cash dividend in the
amount $0.09 per share ($0.36 per share on an annualized basis) on the Companys common stock.
In November 2009, the Company closed an amended and restated secured revolving stabilized
property credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as agent, together with three other lead
lenders and other participating banks, with present commitments from participants of $285.0
million. The facility is expandable to $400 million, subject to certain conditions, including
acceptable collateral, and will expire on January 31, 2012, subject to a one-year extension option.
The principal terms of the facility include (i) an availability based primarily on appraisals, with
a 67.5% advance rate, (ii) an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 350 bps, with a 200 bps LIBOR
floor, (iii) a leverage ratio limited to 67.5% and (iv) an unused portion fee of 50 bps.
Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $81.8 million at June 30, 2010,
such borrowings bore interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum, and the Company had pledged 33 of
its shopping center properties as collateral for such borrowings.

The secured revolving stabilized property credit facility has been, and will be, used to fund
acquisitions, certain development and redevelopment activities, capital expenditures, mortgage
repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The
facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including limits on leverage and
distributions (limited to 95% of funds from operations, as defined), and other financial statement
ratios. Based on covenant measurements and collateral in place as of June 30, 2010, the Company was
permitted to draw up to approximately $175.9 million, of which approximately $94.1 million remained
available as of that date. Reflecting the July 8, 2010 transfer of a collateral property from the
secured revolving stabilized property credit facility to the secured revolving development property
credit facility, together with other transactions subsequent to June 30, 2010, the amount the
Company is permitted to draw under the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility was
approximately $166.6 million as of the date of this report, of which $107.6 million remained
available. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and
financial statement ratios required by the terms of the secured revolving stabilized property
credit facility.
The Company has a $150 million secured revolving development property credit facility with
KeyBank, National Association (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has
pledged certain of its development projects and redevelopment properties as collateral for
borrowings thereunder. The facility, as amended, is expandable to $250 million, subject to certain
conditions, including acceptable collateral, and will expire in June 2011, subject to a one-year
extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the Companys option at either
LIBOR or the agent banks prime rate, plus a spread of 225 bps or 75 bps, respectively. Advances
under the facility are calculated at the least of 70% of aggregate project costs, 70% of as
stabilized appraised values, or costs incurred in excess of a 30% equity requirement on the part
of the Company. The facility also requires an unused portion fee of 15 bps. This facility has been,
and will be, used to fund in part the Companys and certain joint ventures development activities.
In order to draw funds under this facility, the Company must meet certain pre-leasing and other
conditions. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $86.0 million at June 30, 2010;
such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 2.6% per annum. As of June 30, 2010, the
Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required by
the terms of the secured revolving development property credit facility.
The Company has a $77.7 million construction facility with Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Company (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company pledged its joint venture
development project in Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania as collateral for borrowings made thereunder. The
facility is guaranteed by the Company and will expire in September 2011, subject to a one-year
extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the Companys option at either
LIBOR plus a spread of 225 bps, or the agent banks prime rate. Borrowings outstanding under the
facility aggregated $62.5 million at June 30, 2010, and such borrowings bore interest at an average
rate of 2.6% per annum. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial
covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the construction facility.

Property-specific mortgage loans payable at June 30, 2010 consisted of fixed-rate notes
totaling $604.7 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%, and variable-rate debt
totaling $83.5 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4%. Total mortgage loans payable
and secured revolving credit facilities have an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.2% and
mature at various dates through 2029. For the remainder of 2010, the Company has approximately $4.2
million of scheduled debt principal amortization payments and no scheduled balloon payments.
The terms of several of the Companys mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit
certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such restricted cash is generally
available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established, and is
not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
The Company and RioCan have entered into an 80% (RioCan) and 20% (Cedar) joint venture (i)
initially for the purchase of seven supermarket-anchored properties previously owned by the
Company, and (ii) then to acquire additional primarily supermarket-anchored properties in the
Companys primary market areas, in the same joint venture format. Two properties (Blue Mountain
Commons, located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Sunset Crossing, located in Dickson City,
Pennsylvania) were transferred to the joint venture in December 2009, two properties (Franklin
Village Plaza, located in Franklin, Massachusetts and Columbus Crossing Shopping Center, located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) were transferred to the joint venture on February 4, 2010 and February
23, 2010, respectively, two properties (Shaws Plaza, located in Raynham, Massachusetts and Stop &
Shop Plaza, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut) were transferred to the joint venture on April 27,
2010, and the last property (Loyal Plaza Shopping Center, located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania)
was transferred to the joint venture on May 27, 2010. In addition, on April 27, 2010, RioCan
exercised its warrant to purchase 1,428,570 shares of the Companys common stock, and the Company
received proceeds of $10.0 million. The property transfers and the exercise of the warrants
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $73.6 million, all of which were used to
repay/reduce the outstanding balances under the Companys secured revolving credit facilities.
On February 5, 2010, the Company concluded a public offering of 7,500,000 shares of its common
stock at $6.60 per share, and realized net proceeds after offering expenses of approximately $47.0
million. On March 3, 2010, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of
697,800 shares, and the Company realized additional net proceeds of $4.3 million. In connection
with the offering, RioCan acquired 1,350,000 shares of the Companys common stock, including
100,000 shares acquired in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option, and the
Company realized net proceeds of $8.9 million.
On February 5, 2010, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that registered the offering of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common
stock under the Companys Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the DRIP). The
DRIP offers a convenient method for shareholders to invest cash dividends and/or make optional cash
payments to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at 98% of their market value. There were no significant DRIP transactions during the six months ended

net proceeds of $3.5 million (an average of $5.61 per share) in connection with the DRIP program
and on August 4, 2010 the Company issued 141,000 shares of its common
stock in connection with its DRIP and realized net proceeds of $0.85 million (an
average of $6.06 per share).
The Company has a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the SEPA Agreement) with an investment
company for sales of its shares of common stock aggregating up to $45 million over a two-year
commitment period expiring in September 2011. Through December 31, 2009, 422,000 shares had been
sold pursuant to the SEPA Agreement, at an average price of $5.93 per share, and the Company
realized net proceeds, after allocation of other issuance expenses, of approximately $2.3 million.
In January and February 2010, an additional 718,000 shares of the Companys common stock had been
sold pursuant to the SEPA Agreement at an average selling price of $6.97 per share, and the Company
realized net proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. In April and May 2010, an additional 667,000
shares of the Companys common stock had been sold pursuant to the SEPA Agreement at an average
selling price of $7. 52 per share, and the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $5.0
million.
The Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to effectively manage its business. Such
liquidity sources include, among other things (i) cash on hand, (ii) operating cash flows, (iii)
availability under its secured revolving credit facilities, (iv) property-specific financings, (v)
sales of properties and (vi) proceeds from contributions of properties to joint ventures, and/or
issuances of shares of common or preferred stock.
Net Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $16.8 million and $25.3 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The comparative changes in
operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were
primarily were primarily the result of the impact of the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions,
the Companys property acquisition/disposition program, and continuing development/redevelopment
activities. In addition, net cash flows for the 2010 period reflect a significant increase in the
cost of borrowing under the Companys amended and restated secured revolving stabilized property
line of credit.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows provided
by investing activities were $16.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010; net cash flows used in investing activities were $63.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, and were primarily the result of the impact of the Cedar/RioCan joint venture
transactions and the Companys acquisition/disposition activities. During the six months ended June
30, 2010, the Company realized proceeds from the transfers of five properties to the Cedar/RioCan
joint venture ($31.5 million net of a settlement receivable of $2.4 million), the sales of
properties treated as discontinued operations ($2.1 million), and distributions of capital from an
unconsolidated joint venture ($1.6 million), offset by expenditures for
property

credit facilities, and $12.2 million in contributions from noncontrolling interests (consolidated
minority interest partners), offset by repayment of mortgage obligations of $13.5 million,
preferred and common stock dividend distributions of $9.0 million, the payment of financing costs
of $2.4 million, and distributions to noncontrolling interests (consolidated minority interest and
limited partners) of $2.3 million.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations (FFO) is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that
the Company believes, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP,
is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for
comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as it captures features particular
to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or
maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. Investors
should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REITs operating
performance. The Company presents FFO because the Company considers it an important supplemental
measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Among other things,
the Company uses FFO or an adjusted FFO-based measure (i) as a criterion to determine
performance-based bonuses for members of senior management, (ii) in performance comparisons with
other shopping center REITs, and (iii) to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under
the terms of the Loan Agreements relating to the Companys credit facilities.
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO published by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income applicable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP),

excluding gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are
computed to reflect FFO on the same basis).
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered
as an alternative to net income applicable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating
activities. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the
ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing
the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the
computation of FFO may vary from one company to another. The following table sets forth the
Companys calculations of FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Inflation
Low to moderate levels of inflation during the past several years have favorably impacted the
Companys operations by stabilizing operating expenses. However, the Companys properties have
tenants whose leases include expense reimbursements and other provisions to minimize the effect of
inflation. At the same time, low inflation has had the indirect effect of reducing the Companys
ability to increase tenant rents upon the signing of new leases and/or lease renewals.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
One of the principal market risks facing the Company is interest rate risk on its credit
facilities. The Company may, when advantageous, hedge its interest rate risk using derivative
financial instruments. The Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.
The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (i) the variable-rate credit
facilities used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures, development/redevelopment
activities, and expand its real estate investment portfolio, (ii) property-specific variable-rate
construction financing, and (iii) other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. The Companys
objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on
operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives,
the Company occasionally may borrow at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial
instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, etc., in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on
a related variable-rate financial instrument. The Company does not enter into derivative or
interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Additionally, the Company has a policy of
entering into derivative contracts only with major financial institutions. At June 30, 2010, the
Company had approximately $20.3 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps
which converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates of 5.4% and 6.5% per annum. At
that date, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.8 million (included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of interest rate
swaps applicable to these mortgage loans payable.
At June 30, 2010, long-term debt consisted of fixed-rate mortgage loans payable and
variable-rate debt (principally the Companys variable-rate credit facilities). The average
interest rate on the $604.7 million of fixed-rate indebtedness outstanding was 5.8%, with
maturities at various dates through 2029. The average interest rate on the $251.4 million of
variable-rate debt (including $167.8 million in advances under the Companys revolving credit
facilities) was 3.8%. The secured revolving stabilized property credit facility matures in January
2012, subject to a one-year extension option. The secured revolving development property credit
facility matures in June 2011, subject to a one-year extension option. With respect to $169.6
million of variable-rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2010, if interest rates either increase or
decrease by 1%, the Companys interest cost would increase or decrease respectively by
approximately $1.7 million per annum. With respect to the remaining $81.8 million of variable-rate
debt outstanding at June 30, 2010, represented by the Companys secured revolving stabilized
property credit facility, interest is based on LIBOR with a 200 bps LIBOR floor. Accordingly, if
interest rates either increase or decrease by 1%, the Companys interest cost applicable on this
line would
49
Table of Contents
increase by approximately $0.8 million per annum only if LIBOR was in excess of 2.0% per
annum.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures |
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 is reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In this regard, the Company has formed a Disclosure
Committee currently comprised of several of the Companys executive officers as well as certain
other employees with knowledge of information that may be considered in the SEC reporting process.
The Committee has responsibility for the development and assessment of the financial and
non-financial information to be included in the reports filed with the SEC, and assists the
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their
certifications contained in the Companys SEC filings. The Committee meets regularly and reports to
the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more frequent basis. The Companys principal executive and
financial officers have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010, and
have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, there have been no changes in the internal controls
over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting.
