NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentations

Organization

Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company” or "RPT"), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, redeveloping, acquiring, managing and leasing community shopping centers in strategic metropolitan markets throughout the Eastern, Midwestern and Central United States. As of June 30, 2014, our property portfolio consists of 65 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 13.0 million square feet. In addition, we are co-investor in and manager of two institutional 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 1.6 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 two smaller joint ventures that each own a shopping center. In addition, we own interests in three parcels of land available 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. (96.9% and 96.8% owned by the Company at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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, 2013.

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.

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 June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Page 7 of 39

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contract with Customers" as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606. The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the new standard, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics is the FASB ASC. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 and shall be applied using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements nor decided upon the method of adoption.

In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08 "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" which amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. For public entities, ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals or classifications as held for sale that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 beginning with the period ended March 31, 2014, and have applied the provisions prospectively.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the results of operations for operating properties sold or held for sale during the reported periods were shown under Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Beginning with the period ended March 31, 2014, in general, our activity related to individual sales of properties wholly-owned or co-owned with joint ventures will no longer be classified as Discontinued Operations.

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 within 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. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 the 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 did not have an impact on our 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 carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, geographic location, real estate values and expected holding period.

Land available for development or sale includes real estate projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified by us and are 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 available for development or sale was $70.4 million and $68.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Construction in progress represents existing development, 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 $45.1 million and $33.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The increase in construction in progress from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 was due primarily to tenant build-outs at various projects as well as ongoing development of Phase I of Lakeland Park Center, located adjacent to our existing Shoppes of Lakeland shopping center in Lakeland, Florida.

Pursuant to the criteria established under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, 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. Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2014-08 the results of operations of properties classified as held for sale will not be classified as Discontinued Operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any properties held for sale.

4. Discontinued Operations

We have adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 beginning with the period ended March 31, 2014, and have applied the provisions prospectively. The following table provides a summary of selected operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 for those properties classified as Discontinued Operations prior to our adoption of ASU 2014-08:

5. Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We have four 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:

On March 31, 2014, Ramco 191 LLC, in which our ownership interest was 20%, completed the conveyance of its ownership interest in its sole remaining shopping center to the noteholder in lieu of repayment of a non-recourse loan in the amount of $7.5 million of which our share was $1.5 million.

Joint Venture Management and Other Fee Income

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, and recognize these fees as the services are rendered.

The following table provides information for our fees earned which are reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

6. Other Assets, Net

Other assets consist of the following:



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Deferred leasing costs, net	$	26,421	$	26,617
Deferred financing costs, net	5,659		6,513

Other, net	3,455		3,768
Other assets, net	$	118,139	$	128,521

Total accumulated amortization of other assets was $49.2 million and $44.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

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 $1.3 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Straight-line rent receivables are recorded net of allowances of $4.1 million and $3.8 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

7. Debt

The following table summarizes our mortgages and notes payable and capital lease obligation as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



Notes Payable	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Senior unsecured notes	$	210,000	$	110,000

⁽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 13 of 39

In May 2014, we completed a $100 million private placement of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50 million of notes with a ten-year term with a fixed interest rate of 4.65% and $50 million of notes with a twelve-year term at a fixed interest rate of 4.74%. A "shelf" facility allows for an additional $50 million in notes to the same purchaser within the next three years, subject to approval, pricing and documentation.

Also in May 2014, we closed a $75 million senior unsecured term loan with an additional $75 million accordion feature. The loan has a seven-year term and bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% to 2.25% (initially 1.7%) depending upon our leverage or credit rating. The interest expense will be hedged with an existing interest rate swap expiring in April 2016, resulting in an effective fixed initial annual rate of 2.9%.

The combined proceeds from these financings were used to repay $45 million of variable-rate bank term debt due 2017, $75 million of bank term debt also due in 2017, the $45 million balance on our unsecured revolving line of credit, as well as for general corporate purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 we repaid mortgages securing the following properties:


•	The Auburn Mile in the amount of $6.6 million with an interest rate of 5.4%; and


•	Crossroads Centre in the amount of $23.2 million with an interest rate of 5.4%.

Our fixed rate mortgages have interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 7.4% and are due at various maturity dates from June 2015 through June 2026. Included in fixed rate mortgages at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were unamortized premium balances related to the fair market value of debt of approximately $2.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The fixed rate mortgage notes are secured by mortgages on properties that have an approximate net book value of $283.3 million as of June 30, 2014.

We had net repayments of $27.0 million under our revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014 there were no amounts outstanding under the facility. Outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility, not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $7.0 million. These letters of credit reduce borrowing availability under our bank facility.

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 June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants.

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.

Thereafter	440,118
Subtotal debt	746,328
Unamortized premium	2,826
Total debt (including unamortized premium)	$	749,154

We have no mortgage maturities until the second quarter of 2015 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:



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Lease intangible liabilities, net	$	38,158	$	40,386

Tenant security deposits	2,932		2,940
Other, net	300		333
Other liabilities, net	$	46,631	$	48,593

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 in revenue of $2.3 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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.


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 June 30, 2014.



	Total
	Fair Value			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
	(In thousands)
Derivative assets - interest rate swaps	$	993		$	—	$	993		$	—
Derivative liabilities - interest rate swaps	$	(3,122	)	$	—	$	(3,122	)	$	—

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 $718.2 million and $649.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, have fair values of approximately $729.6 million and $650.9 million, respectively. Variable rate debt’s fair value is estimated to be the carrying values of $28.1 million and $100.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We classify our debt as Level 2.

Page 16 of 39

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 there is an indication that a decrease in the value of our investment has occurred 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 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 June 30, 2014, we had seven interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. The agreements provided for swapping one-month LIBOR interest rates ranging from 1.2% to 2.2% on $210.0 million of 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 June 30, 2014:

12. Share-based Compensation Plans

As of June 30, 2014, 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 1,737,492 remained available for issuance at June 30, 2014.

In addition, as of June 30, 2014, we had 198,209 share awards that were granted under plans which terminated when the 2012 LTIP became effective. These awards have various expiration dates through June 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we had the following activity:

•

issued restricted stock related to the 2011 performance-based units. The measurement period was January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013 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 159,424 shares of restricted stock. Per the plan, 50% vested on the date of the grant and the balance vests on the first anniversary of the date of the grant;


•	granted 114,114 shares of service-based restricted stock that vest over five years. The service-based awards were valued based on our closing stock price as of the grant date of March 1, 2014 and the expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis; and


•	granted performance-based cash awards that are earned subject to a future performance measurement based on a three-year shareholder return peer comparison (“TSR Grants”). If the performance criterion is met, the actual value of the grant earned will be determined and 50% of the award will be paid in cash immediately while the balance will be paid in cash the following year.

We recognized share-based compensation expense of $1.1 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

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. Compensation expense related to the cash awards was $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, we had $5.9 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 4.7 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.

Page 20 of 39

As of June 30, 2014, we had a federal and state deferred tax asset of $10.3 million, and a valuation allowance of $10.1 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 income tax provisions of approximately $16,000 and $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Sales Taxes

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

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Costs

In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of June 30, 2014, we had entered into agreements for construction costs of approximately $25.5 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 $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

15. Subsequent Events

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

Subsequent to June 30, 2014 we completed the acquisition of two multi-anchored community shopping centers located in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota and Cincinnati, Ohio for $150.0 million. The acquisitions were funded with a combination of assumed mortgage debt of $58.6 million, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, restricted cash and cash.

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; the cost and availability of capital, which depends in part on our asset quality and 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 other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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 in strategic metropolitan markets throughout the Eastern, Midwestern and Central United States. As of June 30, 2014, our property portfolio consists of 65 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 13 million million square feet. In addition, we are co-investor in and manager of two institutional 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 1.6 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 two smaller joint ventures that each own a shopping center. In addition, we own three parcels of land available 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 95.7% leased at June 30, 2014. Including properties in redevelopment or slated for redevelopment, our overall portfolio was 94.9% 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 available 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 22 of 39

We continue 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 six months ended June 30, 2014:

Operating Activity

For the combined portfolio, including wholly-owned and joint venture properties we reported the following leasing activity:



	Leasing Transactions	Square Footage	Base Rent/SF		Prior Rent/SF		Tenant Improvements/SF		Leasing Commissions/SF
Renewals	123	1,040,630	$	12.27	$	11.71	$	—	$	—
New Leases - Comparable	18	45,420	$	18.03	$	14.84	$	8.29	$	3.50
New Leases - Non-Comparable ⁽¹⁾	35	266,562	$	12.26	N/A		$	18.09	$	3.37
Total	176	1,352,612	$	12.46	N/A		$	3.84	$	0.78

⁽¹⁾ Non-comparable lease transactions include leases for space vacant for greater than 12 months, leases for space which has been combined from smaller spaces or demised from larger spaces, and leases structured differently from the prior lease. As a result, there is no prior rent per square foot to compare to the base rent per square foot of the new lease.

Investing Activity

Redevelopment or expansion projects currently in process include:


•	Redevelopment at Merchants' Square shopping center where we have executed a lease for approximately 39,000 square foot Flix Brewhouse to replace the former Hobby Lobby space. The total projected cost is estimated to be approximately $6.4 million and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2015;


•	Expansion at Village Plaza with a 55,000 square foot Hobby Lobby to replace existing vacant and small shop space and expansion by an additional 12,000 square feet. The total projected cost is estimated to be approximately $4.4 million and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2015;


•	Expansion at The Shoppes at Fox River II to include a 55,000 square foot Hobby Lobby, which opened in March 2014, 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; and


•	Expansion at Harvest Junction North on an adjacent 15.0 acres which will include approximately 25,000 square feet of new small shop retail, along with multiple ground leases and outparcel sales. The total projected cost is estimated to be approximately $7.1 million and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 we completed the following dispositions for net proceeds to us of $9.9 million:


•	Naples Towne Centre, a 134,707 square foot shopping center located in Naples, Florida, for $7.0 million; and


•	Two outparcels of land plus one income producing outparcel in various locations for a combined $2.9 million.

Financing Activity

Debt

We closed the following debt transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2014:

•

a $100 million private placement of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50 million of notes with a ten-year term with a fixed interest rate of 4.65% and $50 million of notes with a twelve-year term at a fixed interest rate of 4.74%. A "shelf" facility allows for an additional $50 million in notes to the same purchaser within the next three years, subject to approval, pricing and documentation; and


•	a $75 million senior unsecured term loan with an additional $75 million accordion feature. The loan has a seven-year term and bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% to 2.25% (initially 1.7%) depending upon our leverage or

Page 23 of 39

credit rating. The interest expense will be hedged with an existing interest rate swap expiring in April 2016, resulting in an effective fixed initial annual rate of 2.9%.

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 we repaid mortgages securing the following properties:


•	The Auburn Mile in the amount of $6.6 million with an interest rate of 5.4%; and


•	Crossroads Centre in the amount of $23.2 million with an interest rate of 5.4%.

Equity

Through our controlled equity offering we have issued 3.1 million common shares at an average share price of $16.44 and received approximately $49.9 million in net proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, there were 4.8 million shares remaining under this program.

Land Available for Development or Sale

At June 30, 2014, we had two projects in pre-development and various parcels of land available for development or sale. We estimate that if we proceed with the development of these projects, up to approximately 320,000 square feet of GLA could be developed, excluding various outparcels of land. 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.

Construction continues on Lakeland Park Center adjacent to our existing Shoppes of Lakeland shopping center in Lakeland, Florida. Lakeland Park Center is being developed in two phases. Phase I consists of approximately 210,000 square feet of retail space. The total expected cost, excluding land cost, is approximately $34.6 million, net of outparcel land sales. Phase I is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2014.

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 2013 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no material changes to these policies, except for the presentation changes related to our adoption of the provisions of ASU 2014-08 "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity".

NM - Not meaningful

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased $7.2 million, or 16.9%, from 2013. The increase is primarily due to the following:


•	$6.0 million increase related to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2013;


•	$1.2 million increase related to our existing centers;


•	$0.1 million increase related to the completion of Phase I of the Parkway Shops development; and


•	higher lease termination income of $0.1 million; offset by


•	$0.2 million decrease related to properties sold in 2014.

Recoverable operating expense and real estate taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $2.6 million, or 24.9%, from 2013. The increase was primarily due to following:


•	$2.2 million increase in real estate taxes and recoverable operations expenses related to our 2013 acquisitions; and


•	$0.2 million increase in recoverable operating expenses at existing centers.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $9.1 million, or 62.6%, from 2013. The increase was primarily due to the following:


•	$6.2 million related to the demolition of a portion of Merchants Square and Village Plaza for redevelopment and the acceleration of depreciation; and


•	$2.8 million related to our 2013 acquisitions and the amortization of the related lease origination costs associated with the acquired properties.

Page 25 of 39

In 2014 we recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $2.7 million comprised of $2.3 million related to the sale of the Naples Towne Centre and $0.4 million related to the sale of two outparcels and one income producing outparcel compared to a gain of $0.3 million related to the sale of an outparcel at our Parkway Shops Phase I development in 2013. In 2013 gain or loss on sales of income producing properties were reflected in discontinued operations.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $0.6 million from 2013. In June 2014 we received proceeds related to the 2011 sale of a joint venture property. In addition, interest expense is lower in 2014 due to the refinancing of several mortgages in 2013.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $0.3 million from 2013 primarily due to the following:


•	$1.2 million increase related to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2013;


•	$0.4 million increase related to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in May 2014; offset in part by


•	lower average balances on our revolving credit facility;


•	$0.8 million decrease in interest related to mortgage debt due to the payoff in 2013 and 2014 of higher interest mortgages; and


•	increased capitalized interest due to our development projects.

In 2014 we recorded a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the early payoff of $120.0 million in unsecured term loan debt. We had no such activity in 2013.

Income from discontinued operations was $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. We recorded a gain on sale of real estate of $1.5 million and $0.2 million in income from discontinued operations. Pursuant to our adoption of the provisions of ASU 2014-08 beginning with the period ended March 31, 2014, in general, our activity related to individual sales of properties wholly-owned or co-owned with joint ventures will no longer be classified as discontinued operations.

NM - Not meaningful

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014, increased $23.4 million, or 30.6%, from 2013. The increase is primarily due to the following:


•	$9.5 million increase related to the Clarion Acquisition completed in March 2013;


•	$12.5 million increase related to other acquisitions completed in 2013;


•	$1.0 million increase related to our existing centers;


•	$0.5 million increase related to the completion of Phase I of the Parkway Shops development; and

•	$0.1 million decrease related to properties that are under redevelopment.

Recoverable operating expense and real estate taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $7.4 million, or 38.8%, from 2013. The increase is primarily due to the following:


•	$6.4 million increase in real estate taxes and recoverable operations expenses related to our 2013 acquisitions;


•	$0.6 million increase in recoverable operating expenses at existing centers primarily due to higher snow removal costs; and


•	$0.2 million increase in real estate taxes at existing centers.

Other non-recoverable operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $0.2 million, or 14.8%, from 2013. The increase was primarily related to our acquisitions in 2013.

Page 27 of 39

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $16.1 million, or 63.5%, from 2013. The increase was primarily due:


•	$9.9 million related to our 2013 and 2012 acquisitions and the amortization of the lease origination costs associated with the acquired properties; and


•	$6.2 million related to the demolition of a portion of Merchants Square and Village Plaza for redevelopment and the acceleration of depreciation.

Gain on sale of real estate was $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and is comprised of a $2.3 million gain related to the sale of the Naples Town Center and $0.4 million related to the sale of two outparcels and one income producing outparcel compared to a gain of $3.9 million in 2013 related to the sale of land at our Roseville Towne Center and two outparcels at our Parkway Shops development.

Loss from unconsolidated joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased $4.6 million. In 2013 we acquired our 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. This is offset in 2014 by:


•	additional proceeds related to the 2011 sale of a joint venture property;


•	lower interest expense in 2014 due to the refinancing of several mortgages in 2013; and


•	additional depreciation expense related to the demolition of a portion of Merchants Square and Village Plaza for redevelopment and the acceleration of depreciation.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $1.9 million from 2013 primarily due to the following:


•	$2.3 million increase related to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2013;


•	$0.4 million increase related to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in May 2014; offset in part by


•	lower average balances on our revolving credit facility;


•	$0.8 million decrease in interest related to mortgage debt due to the payoff in 2013 and 2014 of higher interest mortgages; and


•	increased capitalized interest due to our development projects.

In 2014, we recorded a deferred gain of $0.1 million related to the conveyance of a joint venture property in which we held a 7% interest. We had sold the property in 2007 to the joint venture and deferred the portion of the gain related to our joint venture interest. When the property was conveyed to the lender in March 2014 we recognized the previously deferred gain. In 2013 the deferred gain of $5.3 million related to a property we sold in 2007 to the Ramco/Lion Venture, LP, a joint venture in which we have a 30% non-controlling interest. Due to our continuing involvement we deferred the portion of the gain related to our 30% interest. In 2013 we acquired our partners 70% interest in the property and recognized the previously deferred gain.

In 2013 Income from discontinued operations was $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We recorded a gain on sale of real estate of $1.5 million and $0.6 million in income from discontinued operations. Pursuant to our adoption of the provisions of ASU 2014-08 beginning with the period ended March 31, 2014, in general, our activity related to individual sales of properties wholly-owned or co-owned with joint ventures will no longer be classified as discontinued operations.

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 June 30, 2014, we had $33.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $14.9 million restricted cash. Restricted cash was comprised primarily of funds held in escrow to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and certain capital expenditures. In 2014 restricted cash also included proceeds from the sale of the Naples Towne Centre held in escrow.

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 28 of 39

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 2015. 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 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 and non-recurring capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2014, $233.0 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 June 30, 2014, our cash flows were as follows compared to the same period in 2013:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013
	(In thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	48,200		$	43,539
Cash used in investing activities	(36,354		)	(205,564		)
Cash provided by financing activities	15,444			159,834

Operating Activities

Net cash flow increased $4.7 million in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to:


•	net operating income increased $13.8 million as a result of our acquisitions (net of dispositions) and leasing activity at our shopping centers; offset by


•	a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of approximately $6.6 million


•	an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.5 million due to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2013 and May 2014 offset by reduced interest rates on our junior subordinated notes and lower mortgage interest due to repayment of mortgages.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities decreased $169.2 million compared to 2013 primarily due to:


•	in 2013 we used $193.0 million (net of disposition proceeds) to acquire 14 properties and made $3.3 million (net of distributions) in joint venture capital contributions; offset by


•	in 2014 development and capital expenditures increased $16.6 million primarily due to the ongoing construction of Phase I of Lakeland Park Center and redevelopments at various properties; and


•	an increase in restricted cash of $10.5 million primarily due to the escrow of proceeds from the sale of Naples Towne Centre.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $144.4 million primarily due to:


•	increase in proceeds from notes of $15.0 million offset by a decrease in the payment of deferred financing costs of $0.6 million;


•	increase in the amount of net debt repayments of $25.6 million in 2014 compared to 2013;


•	decreased proceeds of $128.4 million from common stock issued. In 2013 we completed an underwritten public offering to fund a portion of the acquisitions made during the first quarter of that year;


•	higher cash dividends to common shareholders by $7.1 million due to the increase in the number of common shares outstanding and a 11.4% increase in our quarterly dividend compared to the comparable period in 2013; offset by


•	a conversion of OP units for cash 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 May 6, 2014, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend distribution of $0.1875 per common share paid to common shareholders of record on June 20, 2014, an 11.4% increase from the same period in 2013. 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.

Distributions paid by us are funded from cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that cash flows from operating activities are 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 June 20, 2014, unchanged from the dividend declared for the same period in 2013.

Total distributions	(29,836		)	(22,705		)

Surplus	$	18,364		$	20,834

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 3.1 million common shares through our controlled equity offering generating $49.9 million in net proceeds, after sales commissions and fees of $0.8 million. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes including the repayment of debt. We have registered up to 8.0 million common shares for issuance from time to time, in our sole discretion, through our controlled equity offering sales agreement, of which 4.8 million shares remained unsold as of June 30, 2014. 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. 333-190546).

Debt

At June 30, 2014, we had seven interest rate swap agreements in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 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 June 30, 2014, we had $28.1 million variable rate debt outstanding.

At June 30, 2014, we had $298.2 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.

As of June 30, 2014, we had four 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 owns a portfolio of eight properties totaling 1.6 million square feet of GLA. As of June 30, 2014, the properties in the portfolio had consolidated equity of $135.9 million. Our total investment in the venture at June 30, 2014 was $16.9 million. The Ramco 450 joint venture has total debt obligations of approximately $140.5 million, with maturity dates ranging from 2015 through 2023. Our proportionate share of the total debt is $28.1 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 which owns a portfolio of three properties with 0.8 million square feet of GLA . As of June 30, 2014, the properties had consolidated equity of $57.4 million. Our total investment in the venture at June 30, 2014 was $8.7 million. The Ramco Lion joint venture has one property with a mortgage payable obligation of approximately $30.2 million with maturity date of October 2015. Our proportionate share of the total debt is $9.1 million. Such debt is non-recourse to the venture, subject to carve-outs customary to such types of mortgage financing.

We also have a 7% ownership interest in two smaller joint ventures that each own one property. As of June 30, 2014, the properties had consolidated equity of $45.5 million and our total investment in these ventures was $3.1 million. Both properties are unencumbered.

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.

⁽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 ($233 million at June 30, 2014 subject to compliance with 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 June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, we have entered into agreements for construction activities with an aggregate cost of approximately $25.5 million.

Page 32 of 39

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 to the construction agreements of approximately $25.5 million we have entered into as of June 30, 2014, we anticipate spending an additional $12.0 million for the remainder of 2014 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 June 30, 2014 our total market capitalization was $2.0 billion and is detailed below:



	(in thousands)
Net debt (including property-specific mortgages, unsecured revolving credit facility, term loans and capital lease obligation net of $33.1 million in cash)	$	719
Common shares, OP units, and dilutive securities based on market price of $16.62 at June 30, 2014	1,204
Convertible perpetual preferred shares based on market price of $61.20 at June 30, 2014	122
Total market capitalization	$	2,045

Net debt to total market capitalization	35.1		%

Outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility totaled approximately $7.0 million at June 30, 2014.

At June 30, 2014, the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership represented a 3.1% 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 72,189,720 of common shares of beneficial interest outstanding at June 30, 2014, with a market value of approximately $1.2 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operations results. We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as, our performance.

Funds from Operations

We consider funds from operations, also known as “FFO” to be 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 and 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.

Also, we consider "Operating FFO" a meaningful, additional measure of financial performance because it excludes acquisition costs and periodic items such as impairment provisions on land available for sale, bargain purchase gains, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt that are not adjusted under the current NAREIT definition of FFO. We provide a reconciliation of FFO to Operating FFO. FFO and Operating FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.

While we consider FFO and Operating FFO useful measures for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs, our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable to these other real estate companies.

Page 34 of 39

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

⁽²⁾	The total non-controlling interest reflects OP units convertible 1:1 into common shares.

⁽³⁾

Series D convertible preferred shares were dilutive to FFO per share for the period, but anti-dilutive to earnings per share as disclosed elsewhere. Because the Series D convertible preferred shares are paid annual dividends of $7.25 million and are currently convertible into approximately 7.0 million shares of common stock, they are dilutive only when earnings or FFO exceed approximately $0.26 per diluted share per quarter, which was the case for FFO in the current period, but not for earnings per share. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment based upon a number of factors, and such adjustment could affect the dilutive impact of the Series D convertible preferred shares on FFO and earnings per share in future periods.


⁽⁴⁾	The denominator to calculate diluted earnings per share excludes shares issuable upon conversion of Operating Partnership Units and preferred shares.

Same Property Operating Income

Same Property Operating Income ("Same Property NOI") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies' operating performance. Same Property NOI is considered by management to be a relevant performance measure of our operations because it includes only the NOI of comparable properties for the reporting period. Same Property NOI is calculated using consolidated operating income and adjusted to exclude management and other fee income, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, provision for impairment and non-comparable income/expense adjustments such as straight-line rents, lease termination fees, above/below market rents, and other non-comparable operating income and expense adjustments.

Same Property NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating Same Property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The following is a summary of our wholly owned properties by classification:



	Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
Property Designation	2014	2014
Same property	56	56
Acquisitions ⁽¹⁾	5	5
Held or available for sale ⁽²⁾	—	—
Non-retail properties ⁽³⁾	1	1

⁽¹⁾Properties were not owned in both comparable periods.
⁽²⁾ Properties will not be part of the Company’s ongoing operations.
⁽³⁾Non-core office building.
⁽⁴⁾ Properties under construction primarily related to re-tenanting resulting in reduced rental income.

Acquisition and redevelopment properties removed from the pool will not be added until owned and operated or construction is complete for the entirety of both periods being compared.

The following is a reconciliation of our Operating Income to Same Property NOI:

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 June 30, 2014, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would impact our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.3 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 $5.2 million at June 30, 2014.

We had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 million as of June 30, 2014. The agreements provided for swapping one-month LIBOR interest rates ranging from 1.2% to 2.2% and had expirations ranging from April 2016 to May 2020. The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2014 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:



	2014			2015			2016			2017			2018			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
(In thousands)
Fixed-rate debt	$	1,784		$	85,250		$	22,710		$	112,222		$	84,244		$	411,993		$	718,203		$	729,602

Average interest rate	—			—			—			—			—			3.5		%	3.5		%	3.5		%

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 June 30, 2014 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 June 30, 2014 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.
