Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing and financing activities:
At June 30, 2011, dividends payable were approximately $18.0 million. In conjunction with the
acquisition of its partners interests in two shopping centers (Note 3), the Company reversed its
previously held equity interest by increasing Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures by
approximately $7.8 million as the investment basis was negative, increased net real estate assets
by approximately $34.8 million for its previously held proportionate share of the assets, and
assumed debt of approximately $50.1 million. In addition, in March 2011, warrants were exercised
for an aggregate of 10 million common shares. The equity derivative liability affiliate of
$74.3 million was reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in capital upon exercise. In
conjunction with the redemption of the Companys Class G cumulative redeemable preferred shares,
the Company recorded a non-cash charge to net income available to common shareholders of $6.4
million related to the write-off of the original issuance costs. The foregoing transactions did
not provide for or require the use of cash for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.
At June 30, 2010, dividends payable were $12.0 million. The Company deconsolidated one entity
in connection with the adoption of the consolidation rules effective January 1, 2010. This
resulted in a reduction to Real Estate Assets, net of approximately $28.7 million, an increase to
Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures of approximately $8.4 million, a reduction in
Non-controlling Interests of approximately $12.4 million and an increase to Accumulated
Distributions in Excess of Net Income of approximately $7.8 million. In addition, the Company
foreclosed on its interest in a note receivable secured by a development project resulting in an
increase to Real Estate Assets and a decrease to Notes Receivable of approximately $19.0 million.
The foregoing transactions did not provide for or require the use of cash for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2010.

DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Developers Diversified Realty Corporation and its related real estate joint ventures and
subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or DDR) are primarily engaged in the business of
acquiring, expanding, owning, developing, redeveloping, leasing, managing and operating shopping
centers. Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or DDR include Developers
Diversified Realty Corporation, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and its
consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification No. 810, Consolidation
(ASC 810). This standard requires a company to perform an analysis to determine whether its
variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a Variable Interest Entity (VIE).
This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has (a) the power to
direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIEs economic performance and
(b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be
significant to the VIE. In determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the
VIE that most significantly affect the VIEs performance, this standard requires a company to
assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as
designed.
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Companys investments in consolidated real estate
joint ventures that are deemed to be VIEs in which the Company is deemed to be the primary
beneficiary have total real estate assets of $384.9 million and $374.2 million, respectively,
mortgages of $41.8 million and $42.9 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $14.8 million
and $13.7 million, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements
include all

(A) | Gain on debt forgiveness is related to one property owned by an unconsolidated joint venture that was transferred to the lender pursuant to a consensual foreclosure proceeding. The operations of the asset have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the combined condensed statement of operations presented. | |
(B) | For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gain on disposition of discontinued operations includes the sale of three properties by three of the Companys unconsolidated joint ventures, of which one was sold in the second quarter of 2011. The Companys proportionate share of the aggregate gain for the assets sold for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $12.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively. | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, loss on disposition of discontinued operations includes the sale of 24 properties by three separate unconsolidated joint ventures, of which eight were sold during the second quarter of 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2009, these joint ventures recorded impairment charges aggregating $170.9 million related to certain of these asset sales. The Companys proportionate share of the loss on sales approximated $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. | ||
(C) | The difference between the Companys share of net income (loss), as reported above, and the amounts included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is attributable to the amortization of basis differentials, deferred gains and differences in gain (loss) on sale of certain assets due to the basis differentials and other than temporary impairment charges. The Company is not recording income or loss from those investments in which its investment basis is zero and the Company does not have the obligation or intent to fund any additional capital. Adjustments to the Companys share of joint venture net income (loss) for these items are reflected as follows (in millions): |

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

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

Sonae Sierra Brasil
In February 2011, the Companys unconsolidated joint venture, Sonae Sierra Brasil
(BM&FBOVESPA: SSBR3), completed an initial public offering of its common shares on the Sao Paulo
Stock Exchange. The total proceeds raised of approximately US$280 million from the initial public
offering will be used primarily to fund future developments and expansions, as well as repay a loan
from its parent company, in which DDR owns a 50% interest. A substantial amount of these proceeds
are included in other assets of the condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, disclosed
above. The Companys share of the loan repayment proceeds, which were received during the first
quarter of 2011, was approximately US$22.4 million. As a result of the initial public offering,
the Companys effective ownership interest in Sonae Sierra Brasil was reduced from 48% to
approximately 33%.
Other Joint Venture Interests
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company acquired its partners 50% ownership interests in
two shopping centers (Note 3).
In the second quarter of 2011, a 50% owned joint venture sold a shopping center asset to a
third party for gross proceeds of $50.3 million. The gain recorded by the joint venture was $22.8
million, of which the Companys share was $12.6 million, which includes the recognition of a
previously recorded deferred gain that was associated with the initial formation of the joint
venture.

3. ACQUISITIONS
In January and March 2011, in two separate transactions, the Company acquired its partners
50% ownership interests in two shopping centers for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million.
The Company acquired these assets pursuant to the terms of the respective underlying joint venture
agreements. After closing, the Company repaid one mortgage note payable with a principal amount of
$29.2 million in total and refinanced the other mortgage with a new $21.0 million, eleven-year
mortgage note payable. As a result of the transactions, the Company owns 100% of the two shopping
centers with an aggregate gross value of approximately $80.0 million. The Company accounted for
both of these transactions as step acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. Due to
the change in control that occurred, the Company recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $22.7
million associated with the acquisitions related to the difference between the Companys carrying
value and fair value of its previously held equity interest on the respective acquisition date.
Upon acquisition of properties, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible
assets, consisting of land, building and improvements and intangible assets generally consisting
of: (i) above- and below-market leases; (ii) in-place leases; and (iii) tenant relationships. The
Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a gross basis
based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. In estimating the fair value of
the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each
property as a result of its due diligence, marketing and leasing activities and uses various
valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections using appropriate discount and
capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, estimates of replacement
costs net of depreciation and other available market information. Above- and below-market lease
values are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks
associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be
paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) managements estimate of fair market lease rates for
each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease
for above-market leases and the initial term plus the estimated term of any below-market fixed-rate
renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized
as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the
capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the
remaining initial terms plus the estimated terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of
the respective leases. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant
relationship values based on managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of the
acquired lease portfolio and the Companys overall relationship with anchor tenants. Such amounts
are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the weighted average remaining initial
term (and expected renewal periods for tenant relationships). The fair value of the tangible
assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Revolving Credit Facilities
The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial
institutions, arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the
Unsecured Credit Facility). In June 2011, the Company amended the Unsecured Credit Facility and
reduced the availability from $950 million to $750 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility maturity
date was extended by two additional years from February 2014 to February 2016 and the current
interest rate changed from LIBOR plus 275 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 basis points. The
Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of $750 million, if certain financial covenants
are maintained, and an accordion feature for expansion of availability to $1.25 billion upon the
Companys request, provided that new or existing lenders agree to the existing terms of the
facility and increase their commitment level. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive
bid option on periodic interest rates for up to 50% of the facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility
also provides for an annual facility fee, that was reduced in June 2011 from 50 basis points to 35
basis points on the entire facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility also allows for foreign
currency-denominated borrowings. The Company has borrowings outstanding in Euro and Canadian
dollars.
The Company also maintains a $65 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank,
National Association, that also was amended in June 2011 (the PNC Facility and, together
with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Facilities). The PNC Facility reflects
terms consistent with those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility.
The Companys borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates
at the Companys election, based on either (i) the prime rate plus a specified spread (0.65% at
June 30, 2011), as defined in the facility, or (ii) LIBOR, plus a specified spread (1.65% at June
30, 2011). The specified spreads vary depending on the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt
rating from Standard and Poors (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service (Moodys). The Company is
required to comply with certain covenants relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured
indebtedness, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets, unencumbered debt yield and fixed
charge coverage. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2011.
-14-
Table of Contents
Term Loan
The Company maintains a collateralized term loan with a syndicate of financial institutions,
for which KeyBank National Association serves as the administrative agent (the Term Loan). The
Company amended the Term Loan in June 2011 and reduced the amount outstanding from $550 million to
$500 million with an accordion feature of up to $600 million. The amended Term Loan matures in
September 2014 with a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at
variable rates based on LIBOR plus a specified spread based on the Companys long-term senior
unsecured debt rating (1.7% at June 30, 2011). The collateral for the Term Loan is real estate
assets, or investment interests in certain assets, that are already encumbered by first mortgage
loans. The Company is required to comply with covenants similar to those contained in the
Revolving Credit Facilities. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2011.
7. SENIOR NOTES
In March 2011, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior
unsecured notes, due April 2018. The notes were offered to investors at a discount to par of
99.315%, resulting in an effective interest rate of 4.86%.
8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Flow and Fair Value Hedges
In June 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100.0
million. This swap was executed to hedge a portion of interest rate risk associated with
variable-rate borrowings. The swap converts LIBOR into a fixed rate on the Term Loan.
In March 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $85.0
million. This swap was executed to hedge a portion of interest rate risk associated with
variable-rate borrowings. The swap converts LIBOR into a fixed rate for seven-year mortgage debt
entered into in 2011.
In March 2011, the Company terminated an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0
million. The swap converted LIBOR into a fixed rate on the Companys Revolving Credit Facilities.
The fair value of the interest rate swap as of the termination date was not material.
In February 2011, the Company entered into treasury locks with an aggregate notional amount of
$200.0 million. The treasury locks were terminated in connection with the issuance of the $300.0
million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in March 2011, resulting in a payment of
approximately $2.2 million to the counterparty. The treasury locks were executed to hedge the
benchmark interest rate associated with forecasted interest payments associated with the
then-anticipated issuance of fixed-rate borrowings. The effective portion of these hedging
relationships has been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified
into earnings over the term of the debt as an adjustment to earnings, based on the effective-yield
method.

Table of Contents
Measurement of Fair Value
At June 30, 2011, the Company used pay-fixed interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to
changes in benchmark interest rates (the Swaps). The valuation of these instruments is
determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on
the expected cash flows of each derivative. The Company determined that the significant inputs
used to value its derivatives fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents information about the Companys financial assets and liabilities
(in millions), which consist of interest rate swap agreements (included in other liabilities) and
marketable securities (included in other assets) from investments in the Companys elective
deferred compensation plan at June 30, 2011, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and
indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine
such fair value (in millions):

The unrealized loss of $0.4 million included in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI)
is attributable to the net change in unrealized gains or losses relating to derivative liabilities
that remain outstanding at June 30, 2011, none of which were reported in the Companys condensed
consolidated statements of operations because they are documented and qualify as hedging
instruments. The unrealized loss of $0.4 million is in addition to the $2.2 million payment made to the
counterparty related to the treasury locks that were executed and settled during the six months
ended June 30, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable,
Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these financial
instruments, excluding the liability associated with the equity derivative instruments,
approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.
Notes Receivable and Advances to Affiliates
The fair value is estimated by discounting the current rates at which management believes
similar loans would be made. The fair value of these notes was approximately $110.2 million and
$120.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to the carrying
amounts of $110.7 million and $122.6 million, respectively. The carrying value of the tax
increment financing bonds, which was $6.2 million and $13.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010, respectively, approximated their fair value as of both periods. The fair value of loans
to affiliates has been estimated by management based upon its assessment of the interest rate,
credit risk and performance risk.

Debt
The fair market value of debt is determined using the trading price of public debt, or a
discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for
duration, optionality and risk profile including the Companys non-performance risk.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the
Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic
conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and
operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic
risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount,
sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, the use of derivative financial
instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage
exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known
and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Companys
derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration
of the Companys known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments
principally related to the Companys investments and borrowings.
The Company has an interest in consolidated joint ventures that own real estate assets in
Canada and Russia. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency
exchange rates. As such, the Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to economically
hedge a portion of this exposure. The Company manages currency exposure related to the net assets
of its Canadian and European subsidiaries primarily through foreign currency-denominated debt
agreements.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Companys objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to
interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company generally uses interest rate
-17-
Table of Contents
swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Swaps designated as cash flow
hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company
making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying
notional amount. The following table discloses certain information regarding the Swaps:
Aggregate Notional | LIBOR Fixed | |||||||
Amount (in millions) | Rate | Maturity Date | ||||||
$ | 100 | 4.8 | % | February 2012 |
||||
$ | 100 | 1.0 | % | June 2014 |
||||
$ | 85 | 2.8 | % | September 2017 |
All components of the Swaps were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The
Company expects that within the next 12 months it will reflect an increase to interest expense (and
a corresponding decrease to earnings) of approximately $5.8 million.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify
as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated OCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings
in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2011, such
derivatives were used to hedge the forecasted variable cash flows associated with existing
obligations. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives is recognized
directly in earnings. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount of
hedge ineffectiveness recorded was not material.
The table below presents the fair value of the Companys Swaps as well as their classification

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

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Accrued Expense
The Company recorded a charge of $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of
the termination without cause of its Executive Chairman, the terms of which were pursuant to his
amended and restated employment agreement dated July 2009. This charge included stock-based
compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million related to the acceleration of expense
associated with the grant date fair value of the unvested stock-based awards partially offset by
the forfeiture of previously expensed awards that will no longer be issued. At June 30, 2011,
approximately $8.3 million was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Companys
condensed consolidated balance sheet related to this obligation.
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to various joint ventures with the Coventry II Fund, through which 11
existing or proposed retail properties, along with a portfolio of former Service Merchandise
locations, were acquired at various times from 2003 through 2006. The properties were acquired by
the joint ventures as value-add investments, with major renovation and/or ground-up development
contemplated for many of the properties. The Company is generally responsible for day-to-day
management of the properties. On November 4, 2009, Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., Coventry
Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, Coventry)
filed suit against the Company and certain of its affiliates and officers in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York, County of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company: (i) breached
contractual obligations under a co-investment agreement and various joint venture limited liability
company agreements, project development agreements and management and leasing agreements; (ii)
breached its fiduciary duties as a member of various limited liability companies; (iii)
fraudulently induced the plaintiffs to enter into certain agreements; and (iv) made certain
material misrepresentations. The complaint also requests that a general release made by Coventry in
favor of the Company in connection with one of the joint venture properties be voided on the
grounds of economic duress. The complaint seeks compensatory and consequential damages in an amount
not less than $500 million, as well as punitive damages. In response, the Company filed a motion to
dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative, to sever the plaintiffs claims. In June 2010, the
court granted in part (regarding Coventrys claim that the Company breached a fiduciary duty owed
to Coventry) and denied in part (all other claims) the Companys motion. Coventry has filed a
notice of appeal regarding that portion of the motion granted by the court. The appeals court
affirmed the trial courts ruling regarding the dismissal of Coventrys claim for breach of
fiduciary duty. The Company filed an answer to the complaint, and has asserted various
counterclaims against Coventry.
The Company believes that the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit and that it has
strong defenses against this lawsuit. The Company will vigorously defend itself against the
allegations contained in the complaint. This lawsuit is subject to the uncertainties inherent in
the litigation process and, therefore, no assurance can be given as to its ultimate outcome and no
loss provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements because a loss
contingency is not deemed probable or estimable. However, based on the information presently
available to the Company, the Company
-20-
Table of Contents
does not expect that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 18, 2009, the Company filed a complaint against Coventry in the Court of Common
Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, seeking, among other things, a temporary restraining order enjoining
Coventry from terminating for cause the management agreements between the Company and the various
joint ventures because the Company believes that the requisite conduct in a for-cause termination
(i.e., fraud or willful misconduct committed by an executive of the Company at the level of at
least senior vice president) did not occur. The court heard testimony in support of the Companys
motion (and Coventrys opposition) and on December 4, 2009, issued a ruling in the Companys favor.
Specifically, the court issued a temporary restraining order enjoining Coventry from terminating
the Company as property manager for cause. The court found that the Company was likely to succeed
on the merits, that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage would result to the Company in
the absence of such restraint, and that the balance of equities favored injunctive relief in the
Companys favor. The Company has filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a ruling by the Court
that there was no basis for Coventrys for cause termination as a matter of law.
On August 2, 2011, the court entered an order granting the Companys motion for summary judgment in all
respects, finding that as a matter of law and fact, that Coventry did not have the right to terminate the
management agreements for cause.
In addition to the litigation discussed above, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to
various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of legal actions for personal
injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered
by insurance. While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management
believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material
adverse effect on the Companys liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Common Shares and Redemption of Preferred Shares
In March 2011, Mr. Alexander Otto and certain members of his family (the Otto Family)
exercised their warrants for 10 million common shares for cash proceeds of $60 million. In
addition, in March 2011, the Company entered into a forward sale agreement to sell an aggregate of
9.5 million of its common shares for net proceeds aggregating $130.2 million, or $13.71 per share,
which settled in April 2011.
In April 2011, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding shares of 8.0% Class G cumulative
redeemable preferred shares at a redemption price of $25.105556 per Class G depositary share (the
sum of $25.00 per share and dividends per share of $0.105556 prorated to the redemption date). The
Company recorded a charge of approximately $6.4 million to net loss available to common
shareholders in the second quarter of 2011 related to the write-off of the Class G preferred
shares original issuance costs.
Dividends
Common share dividends declared were $0.04 and $0.08 per share, respectively, for the three-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, which were paid in cash. Common share dividends
-22-
Table of Contents
declared were $0.02 and $0.04 per share, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2010, which were paid in cash.
Deferred Obligations
Certain officers elected to have their deferred compensation distributed in 2011, which
resulted in a reduction of the deferred obligation and corresponding increase to paid-in capital of
approximately $2.2 million.
Equity Derivative Instruments Otto Transaction
In February 2009, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Otto Family
that provided for the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 10.0 million common shares with an
exercise price of $6.00 per share to members of the Otto Family. In March 2011, the Otto Family
notified the Company regarding its intent to exercise the warrants. As discussed above, all of the
warrants were exercised in March 2011 for cash at $6.00 per common share. The exercise price of
the warrants was subject to downward adjustment if the weighted average purchase price of all
additional common shares sold, as defined, from the date of issuance of the applicable warrant was
less than $6.00 per share (herein referred to as the Downward Price Protection Provisions).
The Downward Price Protection Provisions described above resulted in the warrants being
required to be recorded at fair value as of the shareholder approval date of the Stock Purchase
Agreement of April 9, 2009, and marked-to-market through earnings as of each balance sheet date
thereafter until the exercise date of March 18, 2011. These equity instruments were issued as part
of the Companys overall deleveraging strategy and were not issued in connection with any
speculative trading activity or to mitigate any market risks.
The fair value of the Companys equity derivative instruments (warrants) were classified on
the Companys balance sheet as equity derivative liability-affiliate and had a fair value of $74.3
million at March 18, 2011, the exercise date, which was reclassified to paid-in capital and
aggregated with the cash proceeds in the presentation above.

Measurement of Fair Value Equity Derivative Instruments Valued on a Recurring Basis
The valuation of these instruments was determined using an option pricing model that
considered all relevant assumptions including the Downward Price Protection Provisions. The two
key unobservable input assumptions included in the valuation of the warrants were the volatility
and
-23-
Table of Contents
dividend yield. Both measures were susceptible to change over time given the impact of movements
in the Companys common share price on each. The dividend yield assumptions used ranged from 3.0%
- 3.2% in the first quarter of 2011 and 3.1% 4.2% in the first six months of 2010. Since the
initial valuation date, the Company used historical volatility assumptions to determine the
estimate of fair value of the five-year warrants. The Company believed that the long-term historic
volatility better represented the long-term future volatility and was more consistent with how an
investor would view the value of these securities. The Company continually reassessed these
assumptions and reviewed the assumptions again in March 2011 upon notification from the Otto Family
regarding their intent to exercise the warrants. The Company determined that an implied volatility
assumption was more representative of how a market participant would value the instruments given
the shorter term nature of the warrants. The volatility assumptions used were 36.6% in the first
quarter of 2011 and 78.3% in the first six months of 2010. The Company determined that the
warrants fell within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the volatility and dividend yield
assumptions used in the overall valuation.

derivative instruments that were included in other liabilities at December 31, 2010 and having fair

The asset impairments were triggered primarily due to a change in the Companys investment plans for these projects. Both investments relate to large-scale development projects in Russia. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company determined that it was no longer committed to invest the necessary amount of capital to complete the projects without alternative sources of capital from third-party investors or lending institutions. | |
(B) | The impairment charges were triggered primarily due to the Companys marketing of these assets for sale and managements assessment as to the likelihood and timing. | |
(C) | The Companys proportionate share of these impairments was $16.5 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to the non-controlling interest in this consolidated joint venture and including those assets classified as discontinued operations, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. The 2010 impairment charges were triggered in the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to a change in the Companys business plans for these assets and the resulting impact on its holding period assumptions for this substantially vacant portfolio. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company determined it was no longer committed to the long-term management and investment of these assets. As discussed in Note 13, these assets were deconsolidated in 2010 and all operating results, including the impairment charges, have been reclassified as discontinued operations. |

13. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
All revenues and expenses of discontinued operations sold have been reclassified in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
2011 and 2010. The Company has one asset considered held for sale at June 30, 2011. The Company
considers assets held for sale when the transaction has been approved by the appropriate levels of
management and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale such that the sale
of the property within one year is considered probable. Included in discontinued operations for
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, are 12 properties sold in 2011 and
one property held for sale at June 30, 2011 aggregating 0.8 million square feet, and 31 properties
sold in 2010, (including two held for sale at December 31, 2009) aggregating 2.9 million square
feet, respectively. In addition, included in discontinued operations are 25 other properties that
were deconsolidated for accounting purposes in 2010, aggregating 1.9 million square feet, which
represents the activity associated with a joint venture that owns the underlying real estate of
certain assets formerly occupied by Mervyns. These assets were classified as discontinued
operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, as the Company has no
significant continuing involvement. The balance sheet related to the asset held for sale and the
operating results related to assets sold, designated as held for sale or deconsolidated as of June

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

Table of Contents
The following potentially dilutive securities are considered in the calculation of EPS as
described below:
Dilutive Securities
| Warrants to purchase 10.0 million common shares issued in 2009 are considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the period outstanding from January 1, 2011 to March 18, 2011 and the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. The warrants were anti-dilutive for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. | ||
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Companys quarterly report on Form 10-Q excluded the dilutive effect of the warrants and thus overstated diluted earnings per share. Management has concluded that the impact on its diluted earnings per share resulting from this error was not material. The revision to the amounts above for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, decreased previously reported diluted earnings per share by $0.08. | |||
| Shares subject to issuance under the Companys value sharing equity program (VSEP) are considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The shares subject to issuance under the VSEP were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, as the shares were anti-dilutive due to the Companys loss from continuing operations. | ||
| Options to purchase 3.2 million and 3.4 million common shares were outstanding at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A portion of these options are considered in the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Options aggregating 2.1 million were anti-dilutive in the calculation and, accordingly, were excluded from the computation for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. Options aggregating 3.4 million were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, as the options were anti-dilutive due to the Companys loss from continuing operations. | ||
| The forward equity agreement entered into in March 2011 for 9.5 million common shares was included in the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The forward equity agreement was anti-dilutive for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. These shares were issued in April 2011. This agreement was not in effect in 2010. | ||
Anti-dilutive Securities: | |||
| The Companys three series of senior convertible notes, which are convertible into common shares of the Company with conversion prices of approximately $74.56, $64.23 and $16.33, respectively, at June 30, 2011, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, because the Companys common share price did not exceed the conversion prices of the conversion features in these periods and |

would therefore be anti-dilutive. The senior convertible notes with a conversion price of $16.33 were not outstanding at June 30, 2010. In addition, the purchased options related to two of the senior convertible notes issuances are not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the purchase options are anti-dilutive. |
15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable operating segments, shopping centers, Brazil equity
investment and other investments. Each consolidated shopping center is considered a separate
operating segment; however, each shopping center on a stand-alone basis represents less than 10% of
the revenues, profit or loss, and assets of the combined reported operating segment and meets the
majority of the aggregation criteria under the applicable standard. The following table summarizes
the Companys shopping and office properties, including those located in Brazil:

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)
provides readers with a perspective from management on the Companys financial condition, results
of operations, liquidity and other factors that may affect the Companys future results. The
Company believes it is important to read the MD&A in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as well as other publicly available information.
Executive Summary
The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) in
the business of owning, managing and developing a portfolio of shopping centers. As of June 30,
2011, the Companys portfolio consisted of 458 shopping centers and five office properties
(including 183 shopping centers owned through unconsolidated joint ventures and three shopping
centers that are otherwise consolidated by the Company) in which the Company had an economic
interest. These properties consist of shopping centers, lifestyle centers and enclosed malls owned
in the United States, Puerto Rico and Brazil. At June 30, 2011, the Company owned and/or managed
approximately 126.4 million total square feet of gross leasable area (GLA), which includes all of
the aforementioned properties and 41 properties managed by the
Company but owned by a third party. The Company also owns land
in Canada and Russia at which active development was deferred. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate
occupancy of the Companys operating shopping center portfolio in which the Company has an economic
interest was 89.1%, as compared to 86.6% at June 30, 2010. The Company owned 533 shopping centers
and six office properties at June 30, 2010. The average annualized base rent per occupied square
foot was $13.46 at June 30, 2011, as compared to $13.14 at June 30, 2010.
Net loss applicable to DDR common shareholders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011,
was $26.9 million, or $0.10 per share (basic and diluted), compared to net loss applicable to DDR
common shareholders of $97.1 million, or $0.47 per share diluted and $0.39 per share basic, for the
prior-year comparable period. Net loss applicable to DDR common shareholders for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2011, was $2.1 million, or $0.09 per share diluted and $0.01 per share basic,
compared to net loss applicable to DDR common shareholders of $132.0 million, or $0.55 per share
(basic and diluted), for the prior-year comparable period. Funds from operations (FFO)
applicable to DDR common shareholders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, was $24.1
million compared to a loss of $32.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. FFO
applicable to DDR common shareholders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was $113.2
million compared to a loss of $4.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. The
increase in net income applicable to DDR common shareholders and FFO applicable to DDR common
shareholders for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, was primarily the result of a reduction
in the aggregate impairment charges recorded in 2011 and the gain on change in control of interests
related to the Companys acquisition of two assets from unconsolidated joint ventures partially
offset by the effect of the warrant valuation adjustments, an executive separation charge and the
write-off of the original issuance costs from the redemption of the Companys Class G cumulative
redeemed preferred shares.

Second Quarter 2011 Operating Results
The Company continued its improvement in operating performance in the second quarter of 2011
as evidenced by the number of leases executed during the quarter and continued upward trending in
average rental rates. The Company executed 483 total leases for over 2.5 million square feet
during the second quarter. First-year rents on new leases provide a solid indicator of leasing
trends. The average first-year rent for all new leases executed in the second quarter of 2011 was
$16.80 per square foot, an increase from $11.84 per square foot in the second quarter of 2010.
This growth was achieved without increasing the Companys historically low tenant capital
expenditures. The weighted average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated to
be incurred for leases executed during the quarter was only $2.64 per rentable square foot over the
lease term.
The Company continued to execute on its long-term plan to reduce leverage, extend debt
maturities and improve overall liquidity resulting in greater financial flexibility and a more
competitive cost of capital. Achievements in the second quarter of 2011 included the following:
| refinanced the Companys secured term loan, extending the final maturity to September 2015; | ||
| amended two senior unsecured revolving credit facilities reducing the borrowing capacity to $815 million through the final maturity of February 2016; | ||
| extended the Companys weighted average debt maturity, including option periods, to 4.5 years as of June 30, 2011 as compared to 3.1 years as of June 30, 2010; | ||
| improved the Companys consolidated debt maturity schedule such that there are no future years in which the scheduled consolidated debt maturities exceed $1 billion; and | ||
| raised $190.2 million of equity proceeds from the issuance of 9.5 million common shares and the issuance of 10 million common shares from the exercise of warrants, of which the proceeds were used to redeem $180 million of 8.0% Class G cumulative redeemable preferred shares. |
The Company continues to carefully consider opportunities that fit its selective acquisition
requirements and remains prudent in its underwriting and bidding practices. As part of the
Companys strategy to recycle capital from non-prime asset sales into the acquisitions of prime
assets (i.e. market-dominant shopping centers with high-quality tenants located in attractive markets
with strong demographic profiles) to improve portfolio quality, in the first six months of 2011,
the Company had transactional activity consisting of $155 million in asset sales (of which the
Companys share was approximately $107 million) and $40 million of acquisitions of two prime
properties from unconsolidated joint ventures.
In the second quarter of 2011, the Company continued its focus on maximizing internal growth
opportunities while taking a balanced approach to external growth with a consistent execution of
its previously set strategic objectives.

(B) | The increase in recoveries is a result of the acquisition of two assets in 2011 as well as an increase in recoverable operating and maintenance expenses. Recoveries were approximately 70.7% and 72.2% of operating expenses and real estate taxes including the impact of bad debt expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the recoveries percentage in 2011 is primarily due to an increase in non-reimbursable operating expenses as further discussed below. | |

(1) | Amounts reported in the second quarter of 2010 related to land held for development in Togliatti and Yaroslavl, Russia, of which the Companys proportionate share was $41.9 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to the non-controlling interest in this consolidated joint venture. The asset impairments were triggered primarily due to a change in the Companys investment plans for these projects. Both investments relate to large-scale development projects in Russia. During 2010, the Company determined that it was no longer committed to invest the necessary amount of capital to complete the projects without alternative sources of capital from third-party investors or lending institutions. | |
(2) | The impairment charges were triggered primarily due to the Companys marketing of these assets for sale and managements assessment as to the likelihood and timing. The operating assets were not classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2011, due to outstanding substantive contingencies associated with the respective contracts. | |
(3) | The Companys proportionate share of these impairments was $16.5 million after adjusting for the allocation of loss to the non-controlling interest in this previously consolidated joint venture for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. The 2010 impairment charges were triggered in the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to a change in the Companys business plans for these assets and the resulting impact on its holding period assumptions for this substantially vacant portfolio. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company determined it was no longer committed to the long-term management and investment of these assets. These assets were deconsolidated in the third quarter of 2010 and all operating results, including the impairment changes, have been reclassified as discontinued operations. |
(C) | General and administrative expenses were approximately 5.7% and 5.1% of total revenues, including total revenues of unconsolidated joint ventures and managed properties and discontinued operations, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, the Company has reduced its general and administrative expenses through cost cutting measures. The Company continues to expense internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expenses associated with certain leasing and re-leasing of existing space. | |
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a charge of $10.7 million as a result of the termination without cause of its Executive Chairman, the terms of which were pursuant to his |

amended and restated employment agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred a $2.1 million separation charge related to the departure of another executive officer. |

The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 5.1% and 4.6%, respectively. | ||
The increase in 2011 interest expense is primarily due to the repayment of shorter-term, lower interest rate debt with the proceeds from long-term, higher cost debt, partially offset by a reduction in outstanding debt. The Company ceases the capitalization of interest as assets are placed in service or upon the suspension of construction. Interest costs capitalized in conjunction with development and expansion projects and unconsolidated development joint venture interests were $3.1 million and $6.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $3.2 million and $6.3 million for the respective periods in 2010. | ||

except that in 2011, the final valuation was done as of March 18, 2011, the exercise date of the warrants. Because all of the warrants were exercised in March 2011, the Company no longer records the changes in fair value of these instruments in its earnings. The liability at the date of exercise was reclassified into paid-in capital upon the receipt of cash from the Otto Family and the issuance of the Companys common shares. | ||

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

(A) | The increase in equity in net income of joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior-year period is primarily a result of the gain recognized on the sale of an asset by one unconsolidated joint venture of which the Companys share was $12.6 million and higher income from the Companys investment in Sonae Sierra Brasil discussed below, partially offset by the Companys |

proportionate share of loss on sale and the elimination of equity income from the sale of unconsolidated joint venture assets in 2010. | ||
At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had an approximate 33% and 48% interest, respectively, in an unconsolidated joint venture, Sonae Sierra Brasil, which owns real estate in Brazil and is headquartered in San Paulo, Brazil. In February 2011, Sonae Sierra Brasil, completed an initial public offering (IPO) of its common shares on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange, raising total proceeds of approximately US$280 million. The Companys effective ownership interest in Sonae Sierra Brasil decreased during the first quarter of 2011 due to the IPO. This entity uses the functional currency of Brazilian Reais. The Company has generally chosen not to mitigate any of the residual foreign currency risk through the use of hedging instruments for this entity. The operating cash flow generated by this investment has been retained by the joint venture and reinvested in ground up developments and expansions in Brazil. The weighted average exchange rate used for recording the equity in net income was 1.64 and 1.81 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in equity in net income from the Sonae Sierra Brasil joint venture primarily is due to shopping center expansion activity coming on line, increases in parking revenue and increases in ancillary income and interest income. | ||
(B) | In the first quarter of 2011, the Company acquired its partners 50% interest in two shopping centers. The Company accounted for both of these transactions as step acquisitions. Due to the change in control that occurred, the Company recorded an aggregate gain associated with the acquisitions related to the difference between the Companys carrying value and fair value of the previously held equity interests. |

Also, included in discontinued operations are 25 other properties that were deconsolidated for accounting purposes in 2010, aggregating 1.9 million square feet, which represents the activity associated with a joint venture that owns the underlying real estate of certain assets formerly occupied by Mervyns. These assets were classified as discontinued operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 as the Company has no significant continuing involvement. In addition, included in the reported loss for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, is $3.9 million and $61.0 million, respectively, of impairment charges related to assets classified as discontinued operations. |

Funds From Operations
Definition and Basis of Presentation
The Company believes that FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, provides an additional
and useful means to assess the financial performance of REITs. FFO is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the performance of REITs,
most of which present FFO along with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
FFO excludes GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and real estate
investments, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time.
Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and many
companies use different depreciable lives and methods. Because FFO excludes depreciation and
amortization unique to real estate, gains and certain losses from depreciable property
dispositions, and extraordinary items, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared
year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates,
operating costs, acquisition and development activities and financing costs. This provides a
perspective of the Companys financial performance not immediately apparent from net income
determined in accordance with GAAP.
FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss), adjusted to
exclude (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate
property,
-42-
Table of Contents
except for those properties sold through the Companys merchant building program, which are
presented net of taxes, and those gains that represent the recapture of a previously recognized
impairment charge, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items
principally include real property depreciation, equity income (loss) from joint ventures and equity
income (loss) from non-controlling interests, and adding the Companys proportionate share of FFO
from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent
basis. For the periods presented below, the Companys calculation of FFO is consistent with the
definition of FFO provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT)
because there were no gains generated from the Companys merchant building program.
During 2008, due to the volatility and volume of significant accounting charges and gains
recorded in the Companys operating results that were not reflective of the Companys core
operating performance, management began computing Operating FFO and discussing it with the users of
the Companys financial statements, in addition to other measures such as net income/loss
determined in accordance with GAAP as well as FFO. Operating FFO is generally calculated by the
Company as FFO excluding certain charges and gains that management believes are not indicative of
the results of the Companys operating real estate portfolio. The disclosure of these charges and
gains are regularly requested by users of the Companys financial statements.
Operating FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as described above, its use combined with
the required primary GAAP presentations has been beneficial to management in improving the
understanding of the Companys operating results among the investing public and making comparisons
of other REITs operating results to the Companys more meaningful. The adjustments may not be
comparable to how other REITs or real estate companies calculate their results of operations, and
the Companys calculation of Operating FFO differs from NAREITs definition of FFO. The Company
will continue to evaluate the usefulness and relevance of the reported non-GAAP measures, and such
reported measures could change. Additionally, the Company provides no assurances that these charges
and gains are non-recurring. These charges and gains could be reasonably expected to recur in
future results of operations.
These measures of performance are used by the Company for several business purposes and by
other REITs. The Company uses FFO and/or Operating FFO in part (i) as a measure of a real estate
assets performance, (ii) to influence acquisition, disposition and capital investment strategies,
and (iii) to compare the Companys performance to that of other publicly traded shopping center
REITs.
For the reasons described above, management believes that FFO and Operating FFO provide the
Company and investors with an important indicator of the Companys operating performance. It
provides a recognized measure of performance other than GAAP net income, which may include non-cash
items (often significant). Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a
different manner.
Management recognizes FFOs and Operating FFOs limitations when compared to GAAPs income
from continuing operations. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for needed
dividends, capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and
uncertainties. Management does not use FFO or Operating FFO as an indicator of the Companys cash
obligations and funding requirements for future commitments, acquisitions or development
-43-
Table of Contents
activities. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities
in accordance with GAAP and neither is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs,
including the payment of dividends. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO should be considered an
alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity. FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as additional indicators of the
Companys operating performance. The Company believes that to further understand its performance.
FFO and operating FFO should be compared with the Companys reported net income (loss) and
considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in its consolidated
financial statements.
Reconciliation Presentation
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders was
$24.1 million, compared to a loss of $32.8 million for the same period in 2010. For the six-month
period ended June 30, 2011, FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders was $113.2 million, as
compared to a loss of $4.4 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in FFO for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2011, was primarily the result of a reduction in the aggregate
impairment charges recorded in 2011 and the gain on change in control of interests related to the
Companys acquisition of two assets from unconsolidated joint ventures partially offset by the
effect of the warrant valuation adjustments, an executive separation charge and the write-off of

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, Operating FFO applicable to DDR common
shareholders was $64.4 million, compared to $65.0 million for the same period in 2010. For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2011, Operating FFO applicable to DDR common shareholders was
$127.6 million, as compared to $130.2 million for the same period in 2010. The slight decrease in
Operating FFO for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, was primarily the result of higher
interest expense partially offset by the impact of property sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company periodically evaluates opportunities to issue and sell additional debt or equity
securities, obtain credit facilities from lenders, or repurchase, refinance or otherwise
restructure long-term debt for strategic reasons, or to further strengthen the financial position
of the Company. In 2011, the Company continued to strategically allocate cash flow from operating
and financing activities. The Company also completed public debt and equity offerings in order to
strengthen the balance sheet and improve its financial flexibility.
The Companys and its unconsolidated debt obligations generally require monthly payments of
principal and/or interest over the term of the obligation. No assurance can be provided that these
obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated. Also, additional financing may
not be available at all or on terms favorable to the Company or its joint ventures (see Contractual
Obligations and Other Commitments).
The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial
institutions, arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the
Unsecured Credit Facility). In June 2011, the Company amended the Unsecured Credit Facility and
reduced its availability from $950 million to $750 million. The maturity date was extended to
February 2016. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes an accordion feature for expansion of
availability to $1.25 billion upon the Companys request, provided that new or existing lenders
agree to the existing terms of the facility and increase their commitment level. The Company also
maintains a $65 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association,
that was also amended in June 2011 to match the terms of the Unsecured Credit Facility (the PNC
Facility and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit
Facilities). The Companys borrowings under these facilities bear interest at variable rates
currently based on LIBOR plus 165 basis points, subject to adjustment based on the Companys
current corporate credit ratings from Standard and Poors (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service
(Moodys), which reflects a reduction in the interest rates from LIBOR plus 275 basis points.
The Revolving Credit Facilities and the indentures under which the Companys senior and
subordinated unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating
covenants and require the Company to comply with certain covenants including, among other things,
leverage ratios and debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as limitations
on the Companys ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all
of the Companys assets, and engage in mergers and certain acquisitions. These credit facilities
and indentures also contain customary default provisions including the failure to make timely
payments of principal and interest payable thereunder, the failure to comply with the Companys
financial and operating covenants, the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company, and
the failure of the Company or its majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., entities in which the Company
has a greater than 50% interest) to pay when due certain indebtedness in excess of certain
thresholds beyond applicable grace and cure periods. In the event the Companys lenders or note
holders declare a default, as defined in the applicable agreements governing the debt, the Company
may be unable to obtain further funding and/or an acceleration of any outstanding borrowings may
occur. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants in
the agreements governing its debt. Although the Company intends to operate in compliance with
these covenants, if the Company were to
-48-
Table of Contents
violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or
accelerated maturities. The Companys current business plans indicate that it will continue to be
able to operate in compliance with these covenants for the remainder of 2011 and beyond.
Certain of the Companys credit facilities and indentures permit the acceleration of the
maturity of the underlying debt in the event certain other debt of the Company has been
accelerated. Furthermore, a default under a loan by the Company or its affiliates, a foreclosure
on a mortgaged property owned by the Company or its affiliates or the inability to refinance
existing indebtedness may have a negative impact on the Companys financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations. These facts, and an inability to predict future economic conditions,
have encouraged the Company to adopt a strict focus on lowering leverage and increasing financial
flexibility.
The Company expects to fund its obligations from available cash, current operations and
utilization of its Revolving Credit Facilities. The following information summarizes the
availability of the Revolving Credit Facilities at June 30, 2011 (in millions):

Borrowing capacity available |
$ | 634.2 | ||
Additionally, as of July 29, 2011, the Company had $200 million of its common shares available
for future issuance under its continuous equity program.
The Company intends to maintain a longer-term financing strategy and continue to reduce its
reliance on short-term debt. The Company believes its Revolving Credit Facilities should be
appropriately sized for the Companys liquidity strategy and longer-term capital structure needs.
Part of the Companys overall strategy includes addressing debt maturing in 2011 and years
following well before the maturity date. In March 2011, the Company issued $300 million aggregate
principal amount of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due April 2018. Net proceeds from the offering
were used to repay short-term, higher cost mortgage debt and to reduce balances on its Revolving
Credit Facilities and secured term loan.
In March 2011, the Otto Family exercised their warrants for 10 million common shares for
cash proceeds of $60.0 million. In April 2011, the Company issued 9.5 million of its common shares
for $130.2 million, or $13.71 per share. The net proceeds from the issuance of these common shares
were used to redeem $180.0 million of the Companys 8.0% Class G cumulative redeemable preferred
shares in April 2011. The excess proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.
In June 2011, the Company amended its secured term loan arranged by KeyBank Capital Markets
and J.P. Morgan Securities, reducing the amount outstanding from $550 million to $500 million. The
new secured term loan matures in September 2014 and has a one-year extension option.
-49-
Table of Contents
The Company is focused on the timing and deleveraging opportunities for the consolidated debt
maturing in 2011 and has begun addressing 2012 maturities as well. The wholly-owned maturities for
2011 include the unsecured convertible notes due in August 2011 with an aggregate principal amount
of $88.7 million. Mortgage debt maturities aggregate approximately $6.2 million. The unsecured
convertible notes and the remaining mortgage debt maturing in 2011 are expected to be repaid from
operating cash flow, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities and asset disposition
proceeds. Further, there are no future years in which the Companys scheduled consolidated debt
maturities exceed $1 billion. Management believes that the scheduled debt maturities in future
years are manageable for the size of its balance sheet. The Company continually evaluates its debt
maturities and, based on managements current assessment, believes it has viable financing and
refinancing alternatives.
The Company continues to look beyond 2011 to ensure that it executes its strategy to lower
leverage, increase liquidity, improve the Companys credit ratings and extend debt duration with
the goal of lowering the Companys risk profile and long-term cost of capital.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
At June 30, 2011, the Companys unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt maturing in 2011
was $439.7 million (of which the Companys proportionate share is $156.1 million). Of this amount,
$124.8 million (of which the Companys proportionate share is $25.0 million) was attributable to
the Coventry II Fund assets (see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements). Additionally, $2.1 million of
mortgage debt was repaid in July 2011 (of which the Companys proportionate share was $0.4
million).
Cash Flow Activity
The Companys core business of leasing space to well-capitalized retailers continues to
generate consistent and predictable cash flow after expenses, interest payments and preferred share
dividends. This capital is available for use at the Companys discretion for investment, debt
repayment and the payment of dividends on the common shares.
The Companys cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

52,075 | 45,250 | ||||||
Cash flow used for financing activities |
(190,144 | ) | (178,403 | ) |
Operating Activities: There were no significant changes from operating activities for
the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.
Investing Activities: The change in cash flow from investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to the change in
restricted cash offset by an increase in proceeds from note repayments from unconsolidated joint
-50-
Table of Contents
ventures and third parties and lower contributions to joint ventures, as well as lower
distributions from joint ventures relating to asset sales and refinancings.
Financing Activities: The change in cash flow used for financing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to a decrease
in proceeds received from the issuance of common shares partially offset by a decrease in the level
of debt repayments.
The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least 90% of ordinary taxable
income with declared common and preferred share cash dividends of $40.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $31.1 million of dividends paid for the same period in 2010.
Because actual distributions were greater than 100% of taxable income, federal income taxes have
not been incurred by the Company thus far during 2011.
The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per common share for the first and second
quarters of 2011. The Company will continue to monitor the 2011 dividend policy and provide for
adjustments, as determined to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to
maximize the Companys free cash flow while still adhering to REIT payout requirements.
Sources and Uses of Capital
Acquisitions
The Company has a portfolio management strategy to recycle capital from lower quality, lower
growth potential assets into prime assets with long-term growth potential. As part of that
strategy, the Company acquired its partners 50% ownership interests in two shopping centers for
$40 million during the first quarter of 2011. As a result of the transactions, the Company now
owns 100% of the two prime shopping centers. The aggregate gross value of the shopping centers is
$80 million, and a new $21.0 million, eleven-year mortgage encumbers one of the assets. The
Company recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $22.7 million in connection with the
acquisitions related to the step-up of its investment basis to fair value due to the change in
control that occurred.
Dispositions
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold 12 shopping center
properties and one office property, aggregating 0.8 million square feet, at an aggregate sales
price of $64.9 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $7.0 million, which excludes the impact
of $17.9 million in related impairment charges that were recorded in prior periods. During the
six-month period ended June 30, 2011, three of the Companys joint ventures sold three shopping
centers, aggregating approximately 0.6 million square feet, generating gross proceeds of
approximately $80.0 million. The joint ventures recorded an aggregate net gain of approximately
$21.9 million related to these asset sales, of which the Companys share was approximately $10.7
million.
As part of the Companys portfolio management strategy, the Company has been marketing
non-prime assets for sale. The Company is focusing on selling single-tenant assets and/or smaller
shopping centers that do not meet the Companys current business strategy. For certain real estate
-51-
Table of Contents
assets for which the Company has entered into agreements that are subject to contingencies,
including contracts executed subsequent to June 30, 2011, a loss of approximately $35 million could
be recorded if all such sales were consummated on the terms currently being negotiated. Given the
Companys experience over the past few years, it is difficult for many buyers to complete these
transactions in the timing contemplated or at all. The Company has not recorded an impairment
charge on these assets at June 30, 2011, as the undiscounted cash flows, when considering and
evaluating the various alternative courses of action that may occur, exceed the assets current
carrying value. The Company evaluates all potential sale opportunities taking into account the
long-term growth prospects of assets being sold, the use of proceeds and the impact to the
Companys balance sheet, in addition to the impact on operating results. As a result, if actual
results differ from expectations, it is possible that additional assets could be sold in subsequent
periods for a loss after taking into account the above considerations.
Developments, Redevelopments and Expansions
As part of its portfolio management strategy to develop, expand, improve and re-tenant various
consolidated properties, the Company expects to expend in 2011 an aggregate of approximately $76.1
million, net, of which approximately $30.4 million, net, was spent through June 30, 2011.
The Company will continue to closely monitor its spending in 2011 for developments and
redevelopments, both for consolidated and unconsolidated projects, as the Company considers this
funding to be discretionary spending. The Company does not anticipate expending a significant
amount of funds on joint venture development projects in 2011. One of the important benefits of
the Companys asset class is the ability to phase development projects over time until appropriate
leasing levels can be achieved. To maximize the return on capital spending and balance the
Companys de-leveraging strategy, the Company adheres to strict investment criteria thresholds.
The revised underwriting criteria followed over the past two and one-half years includes a higher
cash-on-cost project return threshold, and incorporates a longer period before the leases commence
and a higher stabilized vacancy rate. The Company applies this revised strategy to both its
consolidated and certain unconsolidated joint ventures that own assets under development because
the Company has significant influence and, in most cases, approval rights over decisions relating
to significant capital expenditures.
The Company has two consolidated projects that are being developed in phases at a projected
aggregate net cost of approximately $204.0 million. At June 30, 2011, approximately $189.6 million
of costs had been incurred in relation to these projects. The Company is also currently
expanding/redeveloping six shopping center developments (one owned by a consolidated joint venture)
at a projected aggregate net cost of approximately $77.4 million. At June 30, 2011, approximately
$54.3 million of costs had been incurred in relation to these redevelopment projects.
At June 30, 2011, the Company has approximately $531.2 million of recorded costs related to
land and projects under development, for which active construction has temporarily ceased or had
not yet commenced. Based on the Companys current intentions and business plans, the Company
believes that the expected undiscounted cash flows exceed its current carrying value on each of
these projects. However, if the Company were to dispose of certain of these assets in the current
market, the Company would likely incur a loss, which may be material. The Company evaluates its
intentions with respect to these assets each reporting period and records an impairment charge
equal to the
-52-
Table of Contents
difference between the current carrying value and fair value when the expected undiscounted
cash flows are less than the assets carrying value.
The Company and its joint venture partners intend to commence construction on various other
developments, only after substantial tenant leasing has occurred and acceptable construction
financing is available.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has a number of off-balance sheet joint ventures and other unconsolidated entities
with varying economic structures. Through these interests, the Company has investments in
operating properties, development properties and two management and development companies. Such
arrangements are generally with institutional investors and various developers located throughout
the United States and Brazil.
The unconsolidated joint ventures that have total assets greater than $250 million (based on
the historical cost of acquisition by the unconsolidated joint venture) at June 30, 2011, are as

Funding for Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company has provided loans and advances to certain unconsolidated entities and/or related
partners in the amount of $71.1 million at June 30, 2011, for which the Companys joint venture
partners have not funded their proportionate share. Included in this amount, the Company advanced
$66.9 million of financing to one of its unconsolidated joint ventures, which accrued interest at
the greater of LIBOR plus 700 basis points, or 12%, and a default rate of 16%, and has an initial
maturity of July 2011. The Company reserved this advance in full in 2009 (see Coventry II Fund
discussion below).
Coventry II Fund
At June 30, 2011, the Company maintains several investments with the Coventry II Fund. The
Company co-invested approximately 20% in each joint venture and is generally responsible for
day-to-day management of the properties. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture, the Company
earns fees for property management, leasing and construction management. The Company also could
earn a promoted interest, along with Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., above a preferred return
after return of capital to fund investors (see Item 1 Legal Proceedings).
-53-
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2011, the aggregate carrying amount of the Companys net investment in the
Coventry II Fund joint ventures was approximately $15.8 million. The Company has also advanced
$66.9 million of financing to one of the Coventry II Fund joint ventures, Coventry II DDR
Bloomfield, related to the development of the project in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (Bloomfield
Loan). In addition to its existing equity and note receivable, the Company has provided partial
payment guaranties to third-party lenders in connection with the financing for five of the Coventry
II Fund projects. The amount of each such guaranty is not greater than the proportion to the
Companys investment percentage in the underlying projects, and the aggregate amount of the
Companys guaranties is approximately $38.8 million at June 30, 2011.
Although the Company will not acquire additional investments through the Coventry II Fund
joint ventures, additional funds may be required to address ongoing operational needs and costs
associated with the joint ventures undergoing development or redevelopment. The Coventry II Fund
is exploring a variety of strategies to obtain such funds, including potential dispositions and
financings. The Company continues to maintain the position that it does not intend to fund any of
its joint venture partners capital contributions or their share of debt maturities.

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

Other Joint Ventures
The Company is involved with overseeing the development activities for several of its
unconsolidated joint ventures that are constructing, redeveloping or expanding shopping centers.
The Company earns a fee for its services commensurate with the level of oversight provided. The
Company generally provides a completion guaranty to the third-party lending institution(s)
providing construction financing.
The Companys unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third
parties of approximately $3.9 billion at June 30, 2011 and 2010 (see Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk). Such mortgages and construction loans are generally
non-recourse to the Company and its partners; however, certain mortgages may have recourse to the
Company and its partners in certain limited situations, such as misuse of funds and material
misrepresentations. In connection with certain of the Companys unconsolidated joint ventures, the
Company agreed to fund any amounts due to the joint ventures lender if such amounts are not paid
by the joint venture based on the Companys pro rata share of such amount, which aggregated $40.6
million at June 30, 2011, including guaranties associated with the Coventry II Fund joint ventures.
On February 2, 2011, the Companys unconsolidated joint venture, Sonae Sierra Brasil
(BM&FBOVESPA: SSBR3), completed an IPO of its common shares on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange. The
total proceeds raised of approximately US$280 million from the IPO will be used primarily to fund
future developments and expansions, as well as repay a loan from its parent company, in which DDR
owns a 50% interest. The Companys proportionate share of the loan repayment proceeds was
approximately US$22.4 million. As a result of the initial public offering, the Companys effective
ownership interest in Sonae Sierra Brasil was reduced from 48% to approximately 33%.
The Company has generally chosen not to mitigate any of the residual foreign currency risk
through the use of hedging instruments for Sonae Sierra Brasil. The Company will continue to
monitor and evaluate this risk and may enter into hedging agreements at a later date.
The Company has interests in consolidated joint ventures that own real estate assets in Canada
and Russia. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange
rates. As such, the Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge this exposure. The
Company manages currency exposure related to the net assets of the Companys Canadian and European
subsidiaries primarily through foreign currency-denominated debt agreements that the Company enters
into. Gains and losses in the parent companys net investments in its subsidiaries are
economically offset by losses and gains in the parent companys foreign currency-denominated debt
obligations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, $6.6 million of net losses related to the foreign
currency-denominated debt agreements were included in the Companys cumulative translation
adjustment. As the notional amount of the non-derivative instrument substantially matches the
portion of the net investment designated as being hedged and the non-derivative instrument is
denominated in
-55-
Table of Contents
the functional currency of the hedged net investment, the hedge ineffectiveness recognized in
earnings was not material.
Financing Activities
The Company has historically accessed capital sources through both the public and private
markets. The Companys acquisitions, developments, redevelopments and expansions are generally
financed through cash provided from operating activities, revolving credit facilities, mortgages
assumed, construction loans, secured debt, unsecured debt, common and preferred equity offerings,
joint venture capital and asset sales. Total consolidated debt outstanding was $4.2 billion and
$4.3 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to $4.6 billion at
June 30, 2010.
In June 2011, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Facilities. The maturity date was
extended from February 2014 to February 2016 and the
current interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus
275 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 basis points.
In June 2011, the Company amended its term loan arranged by KeyBank Capital Markets and J.P.
Morgan Securities, LLC reducing the amount outstanding from $550 million to $500 million. The new
facility matures in September 2014 and has a one-year extension option. In addition, the current
interest rate changed from LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points to LIBOR plus 170 basis points which
represents current competitive pricing.
In March 2011, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior
unsecured notes due April 2018. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay short-term,
higher cost mortgage debt and to reduce balances on its Revolving Credit Facilities and secured
term loan.
In March 2011, the Otto Family exercised their warrants for 10 million common shares for
cash proceeds of $60.0 million. In April 2011, the Company issued 9.5 million of its common shares
for $130.2 million, or $13.71 per share. The net proceeds from the issuance of these common shares
were used to redeem $180.0 million of the Companys 8.0% Class G cumulative redeemable preferred
shares in April 2011. Excess proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.
Capitalization
At June 30, 2011, the Companys capitalization consisted of $4.2 billion of debt, $375 million
of preferred shares and $3.9 billion of market equity (market equity is defined as common shares
and OP Units outstanding multiplied by $14.10, the closing price of the Companys common shares on
the New York Stock Exchange at June 30, 2011), resulting in a debt to total market capitalization
ratio of 0.5 to 1.0, as compared to a ratio of 0.6 to 1.0 at June 30, 2010. The closing price of
the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $9.90 at June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the
Companys total debt consisted of $3.6 billion of fixed-rate debt (including $285 million of
variable-rate debt that had been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest
rate derivative contracts) and $0.6 billion of variable-rate debt,. At June 30, 2010, the
Companys total debt consisted of $3.2 billion of fixed-rate debt (including $200.0 million of
variable-rate debt that had been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest
rate derivative contracts) and $1.4 billion of variable-rate debt.

It is managements current strategy to have access to the capital resources necessary to
manage its balance sheet, to repay upcoming maturities and to consider making prudent opportunistic
investments. Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain funds through additional debt or equity
financings and/or joint venture capital in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a
conservative debt capitalization policy and to reduce the Companys cost of capital by maintaining
an investment grade rating with Moodys and re-establishing an investment grade rating with S&P and
Fitch. The security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, as it may be
subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be
evaluated independently of any other rating. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on
favorable terms, or at all, which may negatively affect future ratings.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
The wholly-owned maturities for 2011 include the unsecured convertible notes due in August
2011 with an aggregate principal amount of $88.7 million and mortgage maturities of approximately
$6.2 million. The Company expects to repay this indebtedness through operating cash flow,
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities and asset disposition proceeds. As there are not
significant maturities for the remainder of 2011, the Company is able to shift its focus to the
timing and opportunities for 2012 maturities. No assurance can be provided that the aforementioned
obligations will be refinanced or repaid as anticipated (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).
At June 30, 2011, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $32.4
million. The Company has not recorded any obligations associated with these letters of credit.
The majority of letters of credit are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of
the Company.
In conjunction with the development of shopping centers, the Company has entered into
commitments aggregating approximately $15.0 million with general contractors for its wholly-owned
and consolidated joint venture properties at June 30, 2011. These obligations, comprised
principally of construction contracts, are generally due in 12 to 18 months, as the related
construction costs are incurred, and are expected to be financed through operating cash flow, new
or existing construction loans, assets sales or revolving credit facilities.
The Company routinely enters into contracts for the maintenance of its properties, which
typically can be cancelled upon 30 to 60 days notice without penalty. At June 30, 2011, the
Company had purchase order obligations, typically payable within one year, aggregating
approximately $2.3 million related to the maintenance of its properties and general and
administrative expenses.
Inflation
Most of the Companys long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse
impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive additional
rental income from escalation clauses that generally increase rental rates during the terms of the
leases and/or percentage rentals based on tenants gross sales. Such escalations are determined by
negotiation, increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many
of
-57-
Table of Contents
the Companys leases are for terms of less than 10 years, permitting the Company to seek
increased rents at market rates upon renewal. Most of the Companys leases require the tenants to
pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes,
insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Companys exposure to increases in costs and
operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Economic Conditions
The retail market in the United States significantly weakened in 2008 and continued to be
challenged in 2009. Retail sales declined and tenants became more selective for new store
openings. Some retailers closed existing locations and, as a result, the Company experienced a
loss in occupancy compared to its historic levels. The reduction in occupancy in 2009 has
continued to have a negative impact on the Companys consolidated cash flows, results of operations
and financial position in 2011. However, the Company believes there is an improvement in the level
of optimism within its tenant base. Many retailers have executed contracts in 2010 and 2011 to
open new stores and have strong store opening plans for 2012 and 2013. The lack of new supply is
causing retailers to reconsider opportunities to open new stores in quality locations in
well-positioned shopping centers. The Company continues to see strong demand from a broad range of
retailers, particularly in the off-price sector, which is a reflection on the general outlook of
consumers who are demanding more value for their dollars. Offsetting some of the impact resulting
from the reduced occupancy is that the Company has a low occupancy cost relative to other retail
formats and historic averages, as well as a diversified tenant base with only one tenant exceeding
2.5% of total 2011 consolidated revenues (Walmart at 4.8%). Other significant tenants include
Target, Lowes, Home Depot, Kohls, T.J. Maxx/Marshalls, Publix Supermarkets, PetSmart and Bed Bath
& Beyond, all of which have relatively strong credit ratings, remain well-capitalized and have
outperformed other retail categories on a relative basis over time. The Company believes these
tenants should continue providing it with a stable revenue base for the foreseeable future, given
the long-term nature of these leases. Moreover, the majority of the tenants in the Companys
shopping centers provide day-to-day consumer necessities with a focus toward value and convenience
versus high-priced discretionary luxury items, which the Company believes will enable many of the
tenants to continue operating within this challenging economic environment.
The retail shopping sector has been affected by the competitive nature of the retail business
and the competition for market share as well as general economic conditions where stronger
retailers have out-positioned some of the weaker retailers. These shifts have forced some market
share away from weaker retailers and required them, in some cases, to declare bankruptcy and/or
close stores. Overall, the Companys portfolio remains stable. However, there can be no assurance
that these events will not adversely affect the Company (see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys
Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010).
Historically, the Companys portfolio has performed consistently throughout many economic
cycles, including downward cycles. Broadly speaking, national retail sales have grown since World
War II, including during several recessions and housing slowdowns. In the past, the Company has
not experienced significant volatility in its long-term portfolio occupancy rate. The Company has
experienced downward cycles before and has made the necessary adjustments to leasing and
development strategies to accommodate the changes in the operating environment and mitigate risk.
-58-
Table of Contents
In many cases, the loss of a weaker tenant creates an opportunity to re-lease space at higher
rents to a stronger retailer. More importantly, the quality of the property revenue stream is high
and consistent, as it is generally derived from retailers with good credit profiles under long-term
leases, with very little reliance on overage rents generated by tenant sales performance. The
Company believes that the quality of its shopping center portfolio is strong, as evidenced by the
high historical occupancy rates, which have generally ranged from 92% to 96% since the Companys
initial public offering in 1993. Although the Company experienced a significant decline in
occupancy in 2009 due to several major tenant bankruptcies, the shopping center portfolio occupancy
was at 89.1% at June 30, 2011. Notwithstanding the decline in occupancy compared to
historic levels, the Company continues to sign new leases at rental rates that are returning to
historic averages. The total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was
$13.46 at June 30, 2011 as compared to $13.14 at June 30, 2010. Moreover, the Company has been
able to achieve these results without significant capital investment in tenant improvements or
leasing commissions. The weighted average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions
estimated to be incurred for leases executed during the second quarter of 2011 for the U.S.
portfolio was only $2.64 per rentable square foot. The Company is very conscious of, and sensitive
to, the risks posed to the economy, but is currently comfortable that the position of its portfolio
and the general diversity and credit quality of its tenant base should enable it to successfully
navigate through these challenging economic times.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Companys primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Companys debt,

The Company intends to use retained cash flow, proceeds from asset sales, financing and
variable-rate indebtedness available under its Revolving Credit Facilities to repay indebtedness
and fund capital expenditures of the Companys shopping centers. Thus, to the extent the Company
incurs additional variable-rate indebtedness, its exposure to increases in interest rates in an
inflationary period would increase. The Company does not believe, however, that increases in
interest expense as a result of inflation will significantly impact the Companys distributable
cash flow.
The interest rate risk on a portion of the Companys variable-rate debt described above has
been mitigated through the use of interest rate swap agreements (the Swaps) with major financial
institutions. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest rate on the Companys $285
million and $150 million, respectively, consolidated floating rate debt, was swapped to fixed
rates. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties
to the Swaps. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into Swaps with major
financial institutions.
In February 2011, the Company entered into treasury locks with a notional amount of $200
million. The treasury locks were terminated in connection with the issuance of unsecured notes in
March 2011. The treasury locks were executed to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with
forecasted interest payments associated with the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate borrowings.
The effective portion of these hedging relationships has been deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the debt as an
adjustment to earnings, based on the effective-yield method.

The carrying value of the Companys fixed-rate debt is adjusted to include the $285 million
and $150 million that were swapped to a fixed rate at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively. The fair value of the Companys fixed-rate debt is adjusted to (i) include the swaps
reflected in the carrying value, and (ii) include the Companys proportionate share of the joint
venture fixed-rate debt. An estimate of the effect of a 100-point increase at June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, is summarized as follows (in millions):

(A) | Includes the fair value of interest rate swaps, which was a liability of $5.6 million and $5.2 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. | |
(B) | Includes the fair value of interest rate swaps, which was an asset of $2.8 million and a liability of $3.1 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. |
The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the Companys fixed-rate debt was
determined using a valuation model based upon factors that measure the net present value of such
obligations that arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above.
Further, a 100 basis point increase in short-term market interest rates on variable-rate debt
at June 30, 2011 would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.8 million for
the Company and $0.7 million representing the Companys proportionate share of the joint ventures
interest expense relating to variable-rate debt outstanding for the six-month period. The
estimated increase in interest expense for the year does not give effect to possible changes in the
daily balance for the Companys or joint ventures outstanding variable-rate debt.
The Company and its joint ventures intend to continually monitor and actively manage interest
costs on their variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap positions based on market
fluctuations. In addition, the Company believes that it has the ability to obtain funds through
additional equity and/or debt offerings and joint venture capital. Accordingly, the cost of
obtaining such protection agreements in relation to the Companys access to capital markets will
continue to be evaluated. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2011, the
Company had no other material exposure to market risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on their evaluation as required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and
15d-15(b), the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have
concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and were
effective as of the end of such period to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company issuer in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to the Companys management, including its CEO and CFO, or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, there were no changes in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to
materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Other than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business, the Company is not presently involved in any litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any
litigation threatened against the Company or its properties that is reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on the liquidity or results of operations of the Company.
The Company is a party to various joint ventures with Coventry Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and
Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C., which funds are advised and managed by Coventry Real Estate
Advisors L.L.C. (collectively, the Coventry II Fund), through which 11 existing or proposed
retail properties, along with a portfolio of former Service Merchandise locations, were acquired at
various times from 2003 through 2006. The properties were acquired by the joint ventures as
value-add investments, with major renovation and/or ground-up development contemplated for many of
the properties. The Company is generally responsible for day-to-day management of the properties.
On November 4, 2009, Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., Coventry Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and
Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, Coventry) filed suit against the Company
and certain of its affiliates and officers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of
New York. The complaint alleges that the Company: (i) breached contractual obligations under a
co-investment agreement and various joint venture limited liability company agreements, project
development agreements and management and leasing agreements; (ii) breached its fiduciary duties as
a member of various limited liability companies; (iii) fraudulently induced the plaintiffs to enter
into certain agreements; and (iv) made certain material misrepresentations. The complaint also
requests that a general release made by Coventry in favor of the Company in connection with one of
the joint venture properties be voided on the grounds of economic duress. The complaint seeks
compensatory and consequential damages in an amount not less than $500 million, as well as punitive
damages. In response, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative,
to sever the plaintiffs claims. In June 2010, the court granted in part (regarding Coventrys
claim that the Company breached a fiduciary duty owed to Coventry) and denied in part (all other
claims) the Companys motion. Coventry has filed a notice of appeal regarding that portion of the
motion granted by the court. The appeals court affirmed the trial courts ruling regarding the
dismissal of Coventrys claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The Company filed an answer to the
complaint, and has asserted various counterclaims against Coventry.
The Company believes that the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit and that it has
strong defenses against this lawsuit. The Company will vigorously defend itself against the
allegations contained in the complaint. This lawsuit is subject to the uncertainties inherent in
the litigation process and, therefore, no assurance can be given as to its ultimate outcome.
However, based on the information presently available to the Company, the Company does not expect
that the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 18, 2009, the Company filed a complaint against Coventry in the Court of Common
Pleas, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, seeking, among other things, a temporary restraining order enjoining
Coventry from terminating for cause the management agreements between the Company and the various
joint ventures because the Company believes that the requisite conduct in a for-cause termination
(i.e., fraud or willful misconduct committed by an executive of the Company at the level of at
least senior vice president) did not occur. The court heard testimony in support of the Companys
motion (and Coventrys opposition) and on December 4, 2009, issued a ruling in the Companys favor.
Specifically, the court issued a temporary restraining order enjoining Coventry from terminating
the Company as property manager for cause. The court found that the Company was likely to
succeed on the merits, that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage would result to the
Company in the absence of such restraint, and that the balance of equities favored injunctive
relief in the Companys favor. The Company has filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a
ruling by the Court that there was no basis for Coventrys for cause termination as a matter of law.
On August 2, 2011, the court entered an order granting the Companys motion for summary judgment in all
respects, finding that as a matter of law and fact, that Coventry did not have the right to terminate the
management agreements for cause.
