NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentations

Organization

Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, redeveloping, acquiring, managing and leasing community shopping centers located predominantly in the Eastern, Midwestern and Central regions of the United States. As of September 30, 2013, our property portfolio consists of 65 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 12.5 million square feet. In addition, we are co-investor in and manager of two joint ventures that own portfolios of shopping centers. We own 20% of Ramco 450 Venture LLC, an entity that owns eight shopping centers comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet. We own 30% of Ramco/Lion Venture L.P., an entity that owns three shopping centers comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet. We also have ownership interests in three smaller joint ventures that each own a shopping center. In addition, we own interests in three parcels of land held for development or sale and five parcels of land adjacent to certain of our existing developed properties located in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, and Virginia. Most of our properties are anchored by supermarkets and/or national chain stores. The Company’s credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail industry.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (96.5% and 95.4% owned by the Company at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. We have elected to be a REIT for federal income tax purposes. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Sales Taxes

We collect various taxes from tenants and remit these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts, primarily related to discontinued operations, have been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB updated ASC 740 "Income Taxes" with ASU 2013-11 "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists." The objective of this update is to reduce the diversity in practice related to the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments in this update require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for those instances described above, except in certain situations described in the update. For public entities, ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods with those years. The guidance should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are evaluating the impact that this update may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Page 7 of 38

In July 2013, the FASB updated ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" with ASU 2013-10 "Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (of Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." ASU 2013-10 permits the Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate, also referred to as the Fed Funds effective Swap Rate, to be used as a U.S. benchmark for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and interest rate on direct U.S. Treasury obligations. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmarks for similar hedges. ASU 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedges entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB updated ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” with ASU 2013-2 "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-2 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in ASU 2013-2 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2013-2 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Real Estate

Included in our net real estate assets are income producing shopping center properties that are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives of those assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. For operating properties, these changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, geographic location, and real estate values.

Land held for development or sale consists of projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified as available for future development when market conditions dictate the demand for a new shopping center. The viability of all projects under construction or development, including those owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, is regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use. Land held for development or sale was $67.4 million and $81.5 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Construction in progress represents existing redevelopment and tenant build-out projects. When projects are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, balances are transferred to land or building and improvements as appropriate. Construction in progress was $29.6 million and $17.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The increase in construction in progress from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 was due primarily to the commencement of Phase I of Lakeland Park Center, located adjacent to our existing Shoppes of Lakeland shopping center in Lakeland, Florida, and ongoing redevelopment projects at existing centers. This increase was partially offset by the completion of Phase I of our Parkway Shops development, located in Jacksonville, Florida which was completed in April 2013 at a cost of approximately $17.5 million.

3. Property Acquisitions and Dispositions

The following table provides a summary of our acquisition activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:



				Gross
Property Name	Location	GLA	Date Acquired	Purchase Price		Assumed Debt
		(In thousands)		(In thousands)
Deer Grove Centre	Palatine, IL	236	08/26/13	$	20,000	$	—

Total consolidated income producing acquisitions		2,889		$	446,165	$	158,767

The Clarion Partners Portfolio of 12 properties (the “Clarion Acquisition”) acquired on March 25, 2013 was previously held in the Ramco/Lion Venture LP, a joint venture in which we hold a 30% interest and which still owns three properties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we recognized a deferred gain of $5.3 million related to one property that was included in the Clarion Acquisition. The deferred gain related to our proportional 30% equity interest when the property was sold to the joint venture in 2007.

The aggregate fair value of our 2013 acquisitions through September 30, 2013, was allocated and is reflected in the following table in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations.

4. Discontinued Operations

We will classify properties as held for sale when executed purchase and sales agreement contingencies have been satisfied thereby signifying that the sale is legally binding and we are able to conclude that the sale of the property within one year is probable. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not have any properties held for sale.

The following table provides a summary of selected operating results for those properties sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

5. Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We have five joint venture agreements whereby we own between 7% and 30% of the equity in the joint venture. We and the joint venture partners have joint approval rights for major decisions, including those regarding property operations. We cannot make significant decisions without our partner’s approval. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the joint ventures using the equity method of accounting.

The combined condensed financial information for our unconsolidated joint ventures is summarized as follows:

⁽¹⁾	In March, 2013 Ramco/Lion Venture LP sold 12 shopping centers to us. The aggregate purchase price for 100% of the shopping centers was $367.4 million resulting in a loss on the sale of $21.5 million to the joint venture. The properties are located in Florida and Michigan. Three properties remain in this joint venture.

⁽²⁾

For the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our pro-rata share excludes $33,000 related to the acquisition of the partner's interest in a joint venture. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our pro-rata share excludes $0.43 million in costs associated with the liquidation of a joint venture concurrent with the extinguishment of its debt. The costs are reflected in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures on our statement of operations.

As of September 30, 2013, we had investments in the following unconsolidated joint ventures:

Debt

Our unconsolidated joint ventures had the following debt outstanding at September 30, 2013:



	Balance
Entity Name	Outstanding
	(In thousands)
Ramco 450 Venture LLC⁽¹⁾	$	139,963
Ramco/Lion Venture LP ⁽²⁾	30,634
Other Joint Ventures⁽³⁾	7,612
	$	178,209
Unamortized premium	(235		)
Total mortgage debt	$	177,974


⁽¹⁾	Maturities range from November 2013 to September 2023 with interest rates ranging from 2.9% to 5.8%


⁽²⁾	Balance relates to Millennium Park’s mortgage loan which has a maturity date of October 2015 with a 5% interest rate.


⁽³⁾	Balance relates to Paulding Pavilion’s mortgage loan which has a maturity date of January 2014. The interest rate is variable based on LIBOR plus 3.50%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Ramco 450 Venture LLC refinanced (or repaid):


•	the mortgage on The Plaza at Delray with a new 10-year loan in the amount of $46.0 million;


•	the mortgage on Olentangy Plaza in the amount of $21.6 million of which our share was $4.3 million; and


•	the mortgage on Market Plaza. The new five year loan required the joint venture to pay down the outstanding principal balance from $24.5 million to $16.0 million, of which our 20% share was $1.7 million.

Ramco 450 Venture LLC expects to close on a new mortgage on the Chester Springs shopping center prior to the November 1, 2013 due date of the current mortgage. There are no other loans maturing until the first quarter of 2014.

6. Other Assets, Net

Other assets consist of the following:



	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Deferred leasing costs, net	$	22,550	$	18,067
Deferred financing costs, net	6,367		6,073
Lease intangible assets, net	56,965		25,611
Straight-line rent receivable, net	14,660		14,799
Cash flow hedge marked-to-market asset	1,499		—
Prepaid and other deferred expenses, net	5,109		4,636
Other, net	3,925		3,767
Other assets, net	$	111,075	$	72,953

Total accumulated amortization of other assets was $40.0 million and $35.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The increase in other assets, net is primarily due to our acquisitions completed during 2013 and the allocation of a portion of the purchase price to deferred leasing costs and lease intangible assets as well as the increase in deferred financing costs related to two debt transactions.

Intangible assets attributable to lease origination costs and for above-market leases are being amortized over the lives of the applicable lease. Amortization of lease origination costs is an increase to amortization expense and amortization of above-market leases is a reduction to minimum rent revenue over the applicable terms of the respective leases. Amortization of the above-market leases resulted in a reduction of revenue of approximately $1.5 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Straight-line rent receivables are recorded net of allowances of $4.0 million and $3.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

7. Debt

The following table summarizes our mortgages and notes payable and capital lease obligation as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:



Notes Payable	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Senior unsecured notes	$	110,000	$	—
Unsecured term loan facilities	230,000		180,000

	712,812		541,264
Unamortized premium	3,351		17
	$	716,163	$	541,281

Capital lease obligation ⁽¹⁾	$	5,772	$	6,023


⁽¹⁾	99 year ground lease expires 9/30/2103. However, an anchor tenant’s exercise of its option to purchase its parcel in October 2014 would require us to purchase the real estate that is subject to the ground lease.

Page 14 of 38

In conjunction with our acquisitions in 2013, we assumed eight mortgages totaling $158.8 million. In addition to the contractual debt assumed, a premium of approximately $3.7 million was recorded based upon the fair value of the loans on the date they were assumed. This additional mortgage premium is amortized over the remaining life of the loans, with amortization recorded to decrease the monthly interest expense recorded on the loans. Of the eight mortgages assumed, three mortgages totaling $100.5 million were repaid during the second quarter of 2013.

Our fixed rate mortgages have interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 7.6% and are due at various maturity dates from May 2014 through June 2026. Included in fixed rate mortgages at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were unamortized premium balances related to the fair market value of debt of approximately $3.4 million and $17 thousand, respectively. The fixed rate mortgage notes are secured by mortgages on properties that have an approximate net book value of $349.3 million as of September 30, 2013.

We had net repayments of $30.0 million on our revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 with a balance of $10.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2013. Outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility, not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $8.2 million. These letters of credit reduce borrowing availability under our bank facility.

In June 2013, we closed on a $110.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes. The notes were issued in three tranches maturing in 2021, 2023 and 2025. The weighted average interest rate on the notes is 4.04%.

In May 2013, we entered into a $50.0 million, seven year unsecured term loan that includes an accordion feature providing the opportunity to borrow up to an additional $25.0 million under the same loan agreement. In conjunction with the closing of the loan, we entered into a seven year swap agreement resulting in an interest rate at closing of 3.5%.

The $160.0 million in combined proceeds from our debt financings were used primarily to repay maturing mortgage debt. Specifically, we repaid:


•	Mission Bay Plaza in the amount of $42.2 million with an interest rate of 6.6%;


•	Hunter's Square in the amount of $33.0 million with an interest rate of 8.2%;


•	Winchester Center in the amount of $25.3 million with an interest rate of 8.1%;


•	East Town Plaza in the amount of $10.1 million with an interest rate of 5.5%; and


•	Centre at Woodstock in the amount of $3.0 million with an interest rate of 6.9%.

Our revolving credit facility, term loans and unsecured notes contain financial covenants relating to total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered assets, tangible net worth and various other calculations. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants.

In January 2013, in accordance with the agreement, our junior subordinated notes converted from a fixed interest rate to a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.3%. The maturity date of these notes is January 2038.

The mortgage loans encumbering our properties, including properties held by our unconsolidated joint ventures, are generally nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, we or our joint ventures would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses.

We have entered into mortgage loans which are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.

The following table presents scheduled principal payments on mortgages and notes payable as of September 30, 2013:



Year Ending December 31,
	(In thousands)
2013 (October 1 - December 31)	$	1,330
2014	34,691

Thereafter	324,497
Subtotal debt	712,812
Unamortized premium	3,351
Total debt (including unamortized premium)	$	716,163


⁽¹⁾	Scheduled maturities in 2016 include $10.0 million which represents the balance of the unsecured revolving credit facility drawn as of September 30, 2013.

We have no mortgage maturities until the second quarter of 2014 and it is our intent to repay these mortgages using cash, borrowings under our unsecured line of credit, or other sources of financing.

8. Other Liabilities, net

Other liabilities consist of the following:



	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Lease intangible liabilities, net	$	31,826	$	16,297
Cash flow hedge marked-to-market liability	3,016		5,574
Deferred liabilities	3,679		1,970
Tenant security deposits	2,902		1,948
Other, net	348		398
Other liabilities, net	$	41,771	$	26,187

The increase in other liabilities, net was primarily due to our 2013 acquisitions and the allocation of a portion of the purchase price to lease intangible liabilities. The lease intangible liability relates to below-market leases that are being accreted over the applicable terms of the acquired leases, which resulted in an increase of revenue of $2.2 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

9. Fair Value

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, we, from time to time, may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes three fair value levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The assessed inputs used in determining any fair value measurement could result in incorrect valuations that could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. These levels are:


Level 1	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Page 16 of 38


Level 2	Valuation is based upon prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.


Level 3	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

All of our derivative instruments are interest rate swaps for which quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, we measure fair value on a recurring basis using valuation models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves. We classify these instruments as Level 2. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013.



	Total
	Fair Value			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
	(In thousands)
Derivative assets - interest rate swaps	$	1,499		$	—	$	1,499		$	—
Derivative liabilities - interest rate swaps	$	(3,016	)	$	—	$	(3,016	)	$	—

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

We estimated the fair value of our debt based on our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable). Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument. Fixed rate debt (including variable rate debt swapped to fixed through derivatives) with carrying values of $629.7 million and $456.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, have fair values of approximately $630.2 million and $455.4 million, respectively. Variable rate debt’s fair value is estimated to be the carrying values of $83.1 million and $85.0 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We classify our debt as level 2.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Net Real Estate

Our net investment in real estate, including any identifiable intangible assets, is subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis. To estimate fair value, we use discounted cash flow models that include assumptions of the discount rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset. To the extent impairment has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. We classify impaired real estate assets as nonrecurring Level 3.

Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Our equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis if a decline in the fair value of the investment below the carrying amount is determined to be a decline that is other-than-temporary. To estimate the fair value of properties held by unconsolidated entities, we use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates based upon assumptions of the rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset. To the extent other-than-temporary impairment

Page 17 of 38

has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the equity investment over its estimated fair value. We classify other-than-temporarily impaired equity investments in unconsolidated entities as nonrecurring Level 3.

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

We utilize interest rate swap agreements for risk management purposes to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. On the date we enter into an interest rate swap, the derivative is designated as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is determined to be highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued, as interest rates change, and recognized currently as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates and calculation period.

At September 30, 2013, we had five interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $185.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. The agreements provided for swapping one-month LIBOR interest rates ranging from 1.2% to 2.0% on our $75.0 million, $60.0 million, and $50.0 million unsecured term loans and have expirations ranging from April 2016 to May 2020.

The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of our derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2013:

12. Share-based Compensation Plans

As of September 30, 2013, we have one share-based compensation plan in effect. The 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 LTIP”) under which our compensation committee may grant, subject to the Company’s performance conditions as specified by the compensation committee, restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards to trustees, officers and other key employees. The 2012 LTIP allows us to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, units or stock options, of which 1,665,314 remain available for issuance.

In addition, as of September 30, 2013, we had 190,993 share awards that were granted under plans which terminated when the 2012 LTIP became effective. These awards have various expiration dates through June 2017.

We recognized share-based compensation expense of $2.7 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Page 20 of 38

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made the following grants:


•	25,688 shares of restricted stock to non-employee trustees that vest over one year;

•

restricted stock related to the 2010 performance-based units. The measurement period was January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012 and measured our three-year shareholder return compared to our peer group. Our rank in comparison to the peer group resulted in a grant of 189,178 shares of restricted stock. Per the plan 50% vested on the date of the grant and the balance vest on the first anniversary of the date of the grant;


•	91,710 shares of service-based restricted stock that vest over five years. The service-based awards are valued based on our closing stock price as of the grant date of March 1, 2013 and the expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis; and


•	performance-based cash awards that are earned subject to a future performance measurement based on a three-year shareholder return peer comparison (“the 2013 TSR Grant”). If the performance criterion is met, the actual value of the grant earned will be determined and 50.0% of the award will be paid in cash immediately while the balance will be paid in cash the following year.

Pursuant to ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, we determine the grant date fair value of TSR Grants, and any subsequent re-measurements, based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model. We will recognize the compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period. We are required to re-value the cash awards at the end of each quarter using the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date and adjust the compensation expense accordingly. If at the end of the three-year measurement period the performance criteria are not met, compensation expense previously recognized would be reversed. Of the total recognized compensation expense, $1.1 million and $0.2 million related to the cash awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares, options granted under our plans and performance based equity and cash awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.5 years.

13. Taxes

Income Taxes

We conduct our operations with the intent of meeting the requirements applicable to a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders. As long as we qualify as a REIT, we will generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes.

Certain of our operations, including property management and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land, are conducted through our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRSs”) which allows us to provide certain services and conduct certain activities that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence, including expected taxable earnings and potential tax planning strategies. Our temporary differences primarily relate to deferred compensation, depreciation, and net operating loss carry forwards.

As of September 30, 2013, we had a federal and state deferred tax asset of $11.2 million, net of a valuation allowance of $10.9 million. We believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to recognize the net deferred tax assets. These future operations are primarily dependent upon the profitability of our TRSs, the timing and amounts of gains on land sales, and other factors affecting the results of operations of the TRSs. The valuation allowances relate to net operating loss carry forwards and tax basis differences where there is uncertainty regarding their realizability.

We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $1,000 and an income tax benefit of approximately $17,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Costs

In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of September 30, 2013, we had entered into agreements for construction costs of approximately $17.7 million.

Litigation

We are currently involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business; however, we do not believe that any of this litigation will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

We lease office space for our corporate headquarters under an operating lease. We also have operating leases for land at one of our shopping centers and a capital ground lease at our Gaines Marketplace Shopping Center. Total amounts expensed relating to these leases was $0.8 million for each of the the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

15. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations, plans or beliefs concerning future events and may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “predict” or similar terms. Although the forward-looking statements made in this document are based on our good faith beliefs, reasonable assumptions and our best judgment based upon current information, certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including: our success or failure in implementing our business strategy; economic conditions generally and in the commercial real estate and finance markets specifically; our cost of capital, which depends in part on our asset quality, our relationships with lenders and other capital providers; our business prospects and outlook; changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters; our continuing to qualify as a REIT; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Overview

We are a fully integrated, self-administered, publicly-traded REIT which owns, develops, acquires, manages and leases community shopping centers located predominantly in the Eastern and Midwestern regions of the United States. As of September 30, 2013, our property portfolio consists of 65 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 12.5 million million square feet. In addition, we are co-investor in and manager of two joint ventures that own portfolios of shopping centers. We own 20% of Ramco 450 Venture LLC, an entity that owns eight shopping centers comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet. We own 30% of Ramco/Lion Venture L.P., an entity that owns three shopping centers comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet. We also have ownership interests in three smaller joint ventures that each own a shopping center. In addition, we own interests in three parcels of land held for development or sale and five parcels of land adjacent to certain of our existing developed properties located in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, and Virginia. Our core portfolio, which includes joint venture properties, was 95.6% leased at September 30, 2013. Including properties in redevelopment or slated for redevelopment, our overall portfolio was 93.8% leased.

Business Strategy

We intend to maximize shareholder value through a well-defined business strategy that incorporates the following elements:


•	Leasing and managing our shopping centers to increase occupancy, maximize rental income, and control operating expenses and capital expenditures;


•	Redeveloping our centers to increase gross leasable area, reconfigure space for creditworthy tenants, create outparcels, sell excess land, and generally make the centers more desirable for our tenants and their shoppers;


•	Acquiring new shopping centers that are located in targeted metropolitan markets, anchored by stable and productive supermarkets, discounters, or national chain stores, and that provide opportunities to add value through intensive leasing, management, or redevelopment;


•	Developing our land held for development into income-producing investment property, subject to market demand, availability of capital and adequate returns on our incremental capital;


•	Selling non-core shopping centers and redeploying the proceeds into investments that meet our criteria;


•	Selling land parcels and using the proceeds to pay down debt or reinvest in our business;


•	Maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet by capitalizing our Company with a moderate ratio of debt to equity and by financing our investment activities with various forms and sources of capital; and


•	Managing our overall enterprise to create an efficient organization with a strong corporate culture and transparent disclosure for all stakeholders.

We periodically review our performance on these endeavors and adjust our operational and financial tactics accordingly.

Page 23 of 38

Although the current retail real estate environment remains challenging, we have been able to execute upon our strategy by continuing to strengthen our balance sheet to allow financial and operational flexibility and recycle capital through strategic acquisitions and dispositions of our shopping center portfolio. We accomplished the following activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

Operating Activity

For the combined portfolio, including wholly-owned and joint venture properties we:


•	Executed 124 new leases totaling 652,266 square feet with an average rental rate of $12.46 per square foot; and


•	Executed 153 renewal leases totaling 685,315 square feet with an average rental rate of $14.84 per square foot.

Investing Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed acquisitions of $446.2 million in wholly-owned income-producing properties:


•	Deer Grove Centre, a 236,173 square foot shopping center located in Palatine (Chicago), Illinois for $20.0 million;


•	Mt. Prospect Plaza, a 300,900 square foot shopping center located in Mt. Prospect (Chicago), Illinois for $36.1 million;


•	The Shoppes at Nagawaukee Phase II and III, a combined 105,921 square foot shopping center adjacent to our existing Shoppes at Nagawaukee Center in Delafield (greater Milwaukee), Wisconsin for $22.7 million; and


•	The Clarion Acquisition, a portfolio of twelve income-producing properties from a joint venture in which we have a 30% interest for $367.4 million. The properties are located in Florida and Michigan comprising approximately 2.2 million square feet.

In addition, we completed the following dispositions for net proceeds to us of $24.6 million:


•	a shopping center in Lansing, Michigan resulting in a $0.7 gain and generating $5.2 million in net proceeds;


•	a shopping center in Stockbridge, Georgia resulting in a $1.5 million gain and generating $8.0 million in net proceeds;


•	an outparcel at Jacksonville North Industrial generating net proceeds of $0.6 million;


•	two outparcels at our Parkway Shops development resulting in a $0.9 million gain and generating combined net proceeds to us of $3.6 million; and


•	land at our Roseville Towne Center to Wal-Mart, currently an anchor tenant, where they will construct a supercenter. The sale resulted in a gain of $3.0 million, generating net proceeds of $7.2 million.

Redevelopment or expansion projects currently in process include:


•	Redevelopment on our portion of the Roseville Towne Center whereby we are relocating the existing Marshalls into a new 25,000 square foot store as well as constructing additional space for a 12,000 square foot Five Below and space for a new anchor tenant. The total projected cost for the redevelopment is approximately $4.3 million and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2014;


•	Expansion at The Shoppes at Fox River II with the execution of a lease with Hobby Lobby for a 55,000 square foot space. The expansion will include an additional anchor and retail tenants. The total projected cost is estimated to be approximately $14.6 million and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2015;


•	Expansion at Harvest Junction North on an adjacent 15.0 acres which will include approximately 25,000 square feet of new small shop retail. The total projected cost is estimated to be approximately $7.8 million and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2015.

In addition we have executed a lease for a 37,000 square foot Flix Brewhouse to replace the former Hobby Lobby space at our Merchants' Square shopping center. The total projected cost is estimated to be approximately $6.4 million and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2014.

Financing Activity

Debt

We closed the following debt transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:


•	a $110.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes. The notes were issued in three tranches maturing in 2021, 2023 and 2025. The weighted average interest rate on the notes is 4.04%; and


•	a $50.0 million, seven year unsecured term loan that includes an accordion feature providing the opportunity to borrow up to an additional $25.0 million under the same loan agreement. In conjunction with the closing of the loan, we entered into a seven year swap agreement resulting in an interest rate at closing of 3.5%.

The $160.0 million in combined proceeds from these debt financings were used primarily to repay maturing mortgage debt. Specifically, we repaid:


•	Mission Bay Plaza in the amount of $42.2 million with an interest rate of 6.6%;


•	Hunter's Square in the amount of $33.0 million with an interest rate of 8.2%;


•	Winchester Center in the amount of $25.3 million with an interest rate of 8.1%;


•	East Town Plaza in the amount of $10.1 million with an interest rate of 5.5%; and


•	Centre at Woodstock in the amount of $3.0 million with an interest rate of 6.9%.

Equity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed an underwritten public offering of 7.0 million newly issued common shares of beneficial interest. The underwriters were granted an option to purchase an additional 1.05 million common shares and they fully exercised that option on March 13, 2013. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $122.2 million and were used to fund a portion of the consideration for the acquisitions during this period, as well as for general corporate purposes.

Through our controlled equity offering we have issued 4.8 million common shares, at an average share price of $15.27, and received approximately $72.8 million in net proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there were 410,400 shares remaining under this program. On July 12, 2013, we entered into agreements related to a new controlled equity offering whereby we may sell up to 8 million common shares of beneficial interest once the remaining shares of the previous offering have been issued.

Land Held for Development or Sale

At September 30, 2013, we had two projects in pre-development and various parcels of land held for development or sale. It is our policy to start vertical construction on new development projects only after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor commitments and construction financing, if appropriate.

During the third quarter construction began on the Lakeland Park Center adjacent to our existing Shoppes of Lakeland shopping center in Lakeland, Florida. Lakeland Park Center will be developed in two phases. Phase I consists of approximately 210,000 square feet of retail space and is expected to cost approximately $33.6 million, net of outparcel land sales.

Our development and construction activities are subject to risks such as our inability to obtain the necessary zoning or other governmental approvals for a project, our determination that the expected return on a project is not sufficient to warrant continuation of the planned development, or our change in plan or scope for the development. If any of these events occur, we may record an impairment provision.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including initial adoption of accounting policies, revenue recognition and accounts receivable, real estate investment, off balance sheet arrangements, fair value measurements and deferred charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no material changes to these policies.

NM - Not meaningful

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013, increased $13.6 million, or 42.3%, from 2012. The increase is primarily due to the following:


•	$9.8 million increase related to the Clarion Acquisition completed in March 2013;


•	$2.8 million increase related to our acquisitions completed in 2013 and 2012;


•	$0.7 million increase income related to increases at existing centers;


•	$0.3 million increase related to the completion of Phase I of the Parkway Shops development;


•	higher lease termination income of $0.7 million; offset by


•	lower fee income of $0.5 million due to our acquisition of the Clarion properties from a joint venture in which we hold a 30% interest.

Recoverable operating expense and real estate taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $3.3 million, or 42.2%, from 2012. The increase was primarily related to our acquisitions in 2013.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $4.7 million, or 44.7%, from 2012. The increase was primarily due to our 2013 and 2012 acquisitions and the amortization of the related lease origination costs associated with the acquired properties.

We had other expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily related to site maintenance expenses on vacant land. In the comparable period in 2012, we had other income of $0.1 million primarily related to insurance proceeds from a tenant fire.

Page 26 of 38

General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $0.4 million or 7.5% from 2012. The increase was primarily due to:


•	$0.5 million associated with an increase in compensation expense related to long-term incentive plans due to our performance compared to our peers; offset by


•	$0.1 million in lower corporate expenses.

Gain on sale of real estate was for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due to the sale of an outparcel at Jacksonville North Industrial which generated net proceeds of approximately $0.6 million. There were no land sales during the second quarter of 2012.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $0.6 million. The decrease was related to the acquisition of our partner’s 70% interest in 12 shopping centers held in the Ramco/Lion Venture LP completed in March 2013.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $1.5 million from 2012 primarily due to the following:


•	increased mortgage interest related to the assumption of loans as part our 2013 acquisitions;


•	increased loan interest due to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2013; offset in part by


•	decreased interest related to our junior subordinated notes. In January, 2013 the notes converted from a fixed interest rate of 7.9% to a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.3% (3.6% at September 30, 2013);


•	lower average balances on our revolving credit facility; and


•	increased capitalized interest due to our development projects.

Income from discontinued operation was $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.4 million in 2012. In 2013, we recorded a gain on the sale of real estate of $0.7 million. There were no sales during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

•	$1.6 million related to our 2012 acquisitions.

Other non-recoverable operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $0.2 million, or 10.8% , from 2012. The increase was primarily related to our acquisitions in 2013.

Page 28 of 38

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $12.1 million, or 42.1%, from 2012. The increase was primarily due to our 2013 and 2012 acquisitions and the amortization of the related lease origination costs associated with the acquired properties.

General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $1.8 million or 11.9% from 2012. The increase was primarily due to:


•	$1.3 million associated with an increase in compensation expense related to long-term incentive plans due to our performance compared to our peers; and


•	$0.6 million in acquisition costs.

Gain on sale of real estate was $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the gain on sale of land at our Roseville Towne Center to Wal-Mart, an anchor tenant, and two outparcels at our Parkway Shops development, offset by a small loss on the sale of a residual land parcel in Jacksonville, Florida. In the comparable period in 2012 we had a gain of $0.1 million related to the sale on one outparcel.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $7.1 million. The decrease was related to the acquisition of our partners 70% interest in 12 shopping centers held in the Ramco/Lion Venture LP. The sale resulted in a loss of $21.2 million to the joint venture of which our share was $6.4 million.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $1.8 million from 2012 primarily due to the following:


•	increased mortgage interest related to the assumption of loans as part our 2013 acquisitions;


•	increased loan interest due to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2013; offset in part by


•	decreased interest related to our junior subordinated notes. In January 2013, the notes converted from a fixed interest rate of 7.9% to a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.3% (3.6% at September 30, 2013);

In 2013, we recorded a deferred gain of $5.3 million which related to our proportional 30% equity interest in a property sold to the Ramco/Lion Venture LP in 2007. In 2012, we recorded a deferred gain of $0.8 million related to our proportional 7% equity interest when a property was sold to a joint venture in 2007.

Income from discontinued operations was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to loss of $0.7 million in 2012. In 2013, we recorded a gain on the sale of real estate of $2.2 million compared to $0.3 million in 2012. In 2012, we recorded a provision for impairment of $2.5 million and a $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to a property that was previously held in a consolidated joint venture. No such activity was recorded for 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 18, 2013, we completed an underwritten public offering of 8.05 million newly issued common shares of beneficial interest. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $122.2 million.

Our internally generated funds and distributions from operating centers and other investing activities, augmented by use of our existing lines of credit and equity sales through our controlled equity offering, provide resources to maintain our current operations and assets and pay dividends. Generally, our need to access the capital markets is limited to refinancing debt obligations at or near maturity and funding major capital investments and acquisitions. See “Planned Capital Spending” for more details.

At September 30, 2013, we had $4.8 million and $8.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively. Restricted cash was comprised primarily of funds held in escrow to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and certain capital expenditures.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments (including distributions to Operating

Page 29 of 38

Partnership unit holders) and capital expenditures related to tenant improvements and redevelopment activities. We believe that our retained cash flow from operations along with availability under our credit facility is sufficient to meet these obligations.

Our next scheduled debt maturities are in the second quarter of 2014. As opportunities arise and market conditions permit, we will continue to pursue the strategy of selling mature properties or non-core assets that no longer meet our investment criteria. Our ability to obtain acceptable selling prices and satisfactory terms and financing will impact the timing of future sales. We anticipate using net proceeds from the sale of properties and proceeds from our ongoing controlled equity offering to reduce outstanding debt and support future growth initiatives.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay indebtedness at maturity, potential acquisitions of properties, redevelopment of existing properties, the development of land held and non-recurring capital expenditures.

As of September 30, 2013, $221.8 million was available to be borrowed under our unsecured revolving credit facility subject to continuing compliance with maintenance covenants that may affect availability.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, our cash flows were as follows compared to the same period in 2012:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
	(In thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	66,156		$	43,318
Cash used in investing activities	(235,249		)	(156,658		)
Cash provided by financing activities	169,642			109,538

•

We generated $66.2 million in cash flows from operating activities as compared to $43.3 million in 2012. Net operating income increased $21.8 million as a result of our acquisitions and leasing activity at our shopping centers. Interest expense increased $1.8 million because of higher net mortgage interest due to mortgages assumed with our 2013 acquisitions and the issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2013 offset by reduced interest rates on our junior subordinated notes.

•

Investing activities used $235.2 million of cash flows as compared to $156.7 million in 2012. We acquired 15 properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to five during the comparable period in 2012. The 2013 acquisitions were funded with a combination of cash and the assumption of debt. Development and capital expenditures decreased by $11.1 million due to the completion of Phase I of the Shops at Parkway in April 2013. Net proceeds from sales of real estate increased $14.3 million offset by increases in investment in unconsolidated joint ventures by $1.7 million and increases in restricted cash by $5.6 million.

•

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $169.6 million as compared to $109.5 million in 2012. This difference of $60.1 million is primarily explained by increased proceeds of $93.4 million from common stock issued in 2013 compared to 2012 offset by decreased net proceeds from mortgages and notes payable (including related deferred financing costs) of $24.2 million in 2013 compared to net proceeds 2012, higher cash dividends to common shareholders by $8.0 million due to the increase in the number of common shares outstanding, a 3% increase in our quarterly dividend starting in January 2013, and a cash conversion of OP units of $1.2 million in 2013.

Dividends and Equity

We believe that we currently qualify, and we intend to continue to qualify in the future as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Under the Code, as a REIT we must distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, excluding net capital gains. Our dividend policy is set by our Board of Trustees, which monitors our financial results and financial position quarterly.

On September 5, 2013, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend distribution of $0.1875 per common share paid to common shareholders of record on September 20, 2013, a 14.8% increase from the same period in 2012. Future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Trustees. On an annual basis, we intend to make distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, in order to maintain qualification as a REIT. On an annualized basis, our current dividend is above our estimated minimum required distribution.

Page 30 of 38

Distributions paid by us are funded from cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that cash flows from operating activities were insufficient to pay total distributions for any period, alternative funding sources may be used. Examples of alternative funding sources may include proceeds from sales of real estate and bank borrowings. Although we may use alternative sources of cash to fund distributions in a given period, we expect that distribution requirements for an entire year will be met with cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.90625 per preferred share to preferred shareholders of record on September 20, 2013, unchanged from the dividend declared for the same period in 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we issued 4.8 million common shares through our controlled equity offering generating $72.8 million in net proceeds, after sales commissions and fees of $1.1 million. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes including the repayment of debt. We have registered up to 6.0 million common shares for issuance from time to time, in our sole discretion, through our controlled equity offering sales agreement, of which 410,400 shares remained unsold as of September 30, 2013. The shares issued in the controlled equity offering are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on our registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-174805). Also during the third quarter, we entered into a new controlled equity offering whereby we may sell up to 8.0 million common shares of beneficial interest once the shares of the current offering have been issued.

In March 2013, we completed an underwritten public offering of 8.05 million newly issued common shares of beneficial interest. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $122.2 million and were used to fund a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of the Clarion 12 property shopping center portfolio. The offering of the shares was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-174805).

Debt

At September 30, 2013, we had five interest rate swap agreements in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $185.0 million converting a portion of our floating rate corporate debt to fixed rate debt. After taking into account the impact of converting our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt by use of the interest rate swap agreements, at September 30, 2013, we had $83.1 million variable rate debt outstanding.

At September 30, 2013, we had $334.7 million of fixed rate mortgage loans encumbering certain consolidated properties. Such mortgage loans are non-recourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain of such events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, we would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, penalties and expenses.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Real Estate Joint Ventures

We consolidate entities in which we own less than 100% equity interest if we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity, as defined in the Consolidation Topic of FASB ASC 810. From time to time, we enter into joint venture arrangements from which we believe we can benefit by owning a partial interest in one or more properties.

Page 31 of 38

As of September 30, 2013, we had five equity investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities in which we owned 30% or less of the total ownership interest and accounted for these entities under the equity method. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

We have a 20% ownership interest in our Ramco 450 joint venture which is a portfolio of eight properties totaling 1.7 million square feet of GLA. As of September 30, 2013, the properties in the portfolio had consolidated equity of $150.2 million. Our total investment in the venture at September 30, 2013 was $19.7 million. The Ramco 450 joint venture has total debt obligations of approximately $139.7 million, with maturity dates ranging from 2013 through 2023. Our proportionate share of the total debt is $28.0 million. Such debt is non-recourse to the venture, subject to carve-outs customary to such types of mortgage financing.

We have a 30% ownership interest in our Ramco Lion joint venture. In March 2013, we purchased our partner’s interest in 12 shopping centers. Our total investment in the venture at September 30, 2013 was $9.4 million, reduced by approximately $65.0 million compared to September 30, 2012 as a result of the sale. Three properties with 0.8 million square feet of GLA remain in the portfolio. As of September 30, 2013, the properties had consolidated equity of $59.6 million. The Ramco Lion joint venture has one property with a mortgage payable obligation of approximately $30.6 million with maturity date of October 2015. Our proportionate share of the total debt is $9.2 million. Such debt is non-recourse to the venture, subject to carve-outs customary to such types of mortgage financing.

We also had ownership interests ranging from 7% - 20% in three smaller joint ventures that each own one property. As of September 30, 2013, our total investment in these ventures was $2.7 million. Only one property is encumbered, of which our proportionate share of the non-recourse debt was $1.5 million with a maturity date of January 2014.

We review our equity investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment on a venture-by-venture basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the equity investment may not be recoverable. In testing for impairment of these equity investments, we primarily use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates to estimate the fair value of properties held in joint ventures, and we also estimate the fair value of the debt of the joint ventures based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment by management is applied when determining whether an equity invest in an unconsolidated entity is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment. Changes to assumptions regarding cash flows, discount rates, or capitalization rates could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are engaged by certain of our joint ventures to provide asset management, property management, leasing and investing services for such venture’s respective properties. We receive fees for our services, including a property management fee calculated as a percentage of gross revenues received. Due to the sale of 12 properties from the Ramco Lion joint venture, completed in March 2013, we expect a decrease in our management and other fee income of approximately $1.4 million on an annualized basis.

⁽⁴⁾	99 year ground lease expires September 2103. However, an anchor tenant’s exercise of its option to purchase its parcel in October 2014 would require us to purchase the real estate that is subject to the ground lease.

We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operating activities, the availability under our credit facility ($221.8 million at September 30, 2013 subject to compliance covenants), our access to the capital markets, and the sale of existing properties will satisfy our expected working capital requirements through at least the next 12 months. Although we believe that the combination of factors discussed will provide sufficient liquidity, no assurance can be given.

At September 30, 2013, we did not have any contractual obligations that required or allowed settlement, in whole or in part, with consideration other than cash.

Mortgages and notes payable

See the analysis of our debt included in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Employment Contracts

At September 30, 2013, we had employment contracts with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that contain minimum guaranteed compensation. All other employees are subject to at-will employment.

Operating and Capital Leases

We lease office space for our corporate headquarters under an operating lease. We also have operating leases for land at one of our shopping centers and a capital ground lease at our Gaines Marketplace shopping center that provides the option to purchase the land parcel in October 2014 for approximately $5.0 million.

Construction Costs

In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of September 30, 2013, we have entered into agreements for construction activities with an aggregate cost of approximately $17.7 million.

Page 33 of 38

Planned Capital Spending

We are focused on our core strengths of enhancing the value of our existing portfolio of shopping centers through successful leasing efforts and the completion of our redevelopment projects currently in process. In addition, we spent $222.1 million, net of debt assumed, in connection with the 15 centers acquired in 2013.

In addition to the construction agreements of approximately $17.7 million we have entered into as of September 30, 2013, we anticipate spending an additional $2.7 million for the remainder of 2013 for redevelopment projects, tenant improvements, and leasing costs. Estimates for future spending will change as new projects are approved.

Disclosures regarding planned capital spending, including estimates regarding timing of tenant openings, capital expenditures and occupancy are forward-looking statements and certain significant factors discussed elsewhere in this document and our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K could cause the actual results to differ materially.

Capitalization

At September 30, 2013, our total market capitalization was $1.8 billion. Our market capitalization consisted of $713.8 million of net debt (including property-specific mortgages, an unsecured credit facility consisting of a revolving line of credit and term loan, unsecured term loans, senior and junior subordinated notes and a capital lease obligation), $990.6 billion of common shares and OP Units (including dilutive securities and based on a market price of $15.41 at September 30, 2013), and $117.7 million of convertible perpetual preferred shares (based on a market price of $58.84 per share at September 30, 2013). Our net debt to total market capitalization was 39.2% at September 30, 2013, as compared to 42.6% at September 30, 2012. The decrease in total net debt to market capitalization was due primarily to the impact of the common equity offering completed in March 2013, our ongoing controlled equity offering and an increase in our stock and convertible share price. Our total outstanding debt at September 30, 2013 had a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%, and consisted of $629.7 million of fixed rate debt, including the impact of interest rate swap agreements, and $83.1 million of variable rate debt. Outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility totaled approximately $8.2 million at September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2013, the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership represented a 3.5% ownership in the Operating Partnership. The OP Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for our common shares of beneficial interest on a one-for-one basis. We, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, have the option, but not the obligation, to settle exchanged OP Units held by others in cash based on the current trading price of our common shares of beneficial interest. Assuming the exchange of all OP Units, there would have been 63,812,709 of our common shares of beneficial interest outstanding at September 30, 2013, with a market value of approximately $983.4 billion.

Inflation

Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the results of our operations. Should inflation rates increase in the future, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require our tenants to reimburse us for real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses we incur. Also, many of our leases provide for periodic increases in base rent which are either of a fixed amount or based on changes in the consumer price index and/or percentage rents (where the tenant pays us rent based on percentage of its sales). Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on our business.

Funds from Operations

We consider funds from operations, also known as (“FFO”) an appropriate supplemental measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. Under the NAREIT definition, FFO represents net income available to common shareholders, excluding extraordinary items, as defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property and impairment provisions on depreciable property or equity investments in depreciable property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO should not be considered an alternative to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. We consider FFO a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs. However, our computation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable to these other real estate companies.

Page 34 of 38

We recognize FFO’s limitations when compared to GAAP net income available to common shareholders. FFO does not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. FFO is simply used as an additional indicator of our operating performance. The following table illustrates the calculations of FFO:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt obligations. Based on market conditions, we may manage our exposure to interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our variable rate debt. We are not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or other material rate or price risks. Based on our debt and interest rates and interest rate swap agreements in effect at September 30, 2013, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would impact our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.8 million annually. We believe that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our total outstanding debt by approximately $6.9 million at September 30, 2013.

We had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $185.0 million as of September 30, 2013. The agreements provided for fixed rates ranging from 1.2% to 2.0% and had expirations ranging from April 2016 to May 2020. The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2013 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled amortization payment and scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts and fair market value:



	2013			2014			2015			2016			2017			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
(In thousands)
Fixed-rate debt	$	1,330		$	34,691		$	86,581		$	23,182		$	187,531		$	296,372		$	629,687		$	630,180

Average interest rate	—			—			—			1.8		%	1.8		%	3.6		%	2.4		%

We estimated the fair value of our fixed rate mortgages using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment is required to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. The table incorporates only those exposures that exist at September 30, 2013 and does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date or firm commitments as of such date. Therefore, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. Our actual interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and on market interest rates at that time.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and therefore management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an assessment as of September 30, 2013 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This assessment was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
