Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors of the Managing Member of
Regency Retail Partners:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Regency Retail Partners (as defined in Note 1(a)) as of December 31, 2007, and the related combined statements of operations, changes in members’ capital, and cash flows for the period from December 21, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2007. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regency Retail Partners (as defined in Note 1(a)) as of December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from December 21, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Regency Retail Partners
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 (unaudited) and 2007
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(a) | Organization and Principles of Combination |
General
Regency Retail Partners (the “Fund”) was formed on December 21, 2006 through a series of operating, property management, and leasing agreements (collectively, the “Agreement”) for the purpose of acquiring, managing and otherwise dealing in and with real estate investments in the United States of America. It is an open-end, infinite-life investment fund with a total committed capital of approximately $564.6 million. At December 31, 2008, the ratio of total contributed capital to committed capital was 28.7%.
Estimates, Risks, and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates in the Fund’s financial statements relate to the carrying values of its investments in real estate including its shopping centers and tenant receivables. Each of these items could be significantly affected by the current economic recession.
Because of the adverse conditions that exist in the real estate markets, as well as, the credit and financial markets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions that have been utilized in the preparation of the combined financial statements could change significantly. Specifically as it relates to the Fund’s business, the current economic recession is expected to result in a higher level of retail store closings nationally, which could reduce the demand for leasing space in the Fund’s shopping centers and result in a decline in occupancy and rental revenues in its real estate portfolio.
Combination
The combined financial statements include the entities in which the various collective members have invested in the Fund. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
In accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, the Fund has presented combined financial statements of the legal entities rather than separate financial statements for each legal entity. The Fund believes that reporting the financial results of any one legal entity by itself would not be meaningful to users. The following legal entities have been combined in the accompanying financial statements: Regency Retail Partners, LP; RRP German Feeder, LP; RRP GIC RE Feeder, LP; RRP Operating, LP; RRP Parent REIT, Inc.; and RRP Subsidiary REIT, LP.

Ownership of the Fund
The Fund’s capital includes general and limited Common Unit and Preferred Unit holders (collectively, the “Members”). As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had a total of 162,127 Common Units outstanding and 250 Preferred Units outstanding. As of December 31, 2008, Regency Centers Corporation, through its affiliates, (collectively, “Regency”) owns 20% of the Common Units outstanding.
Contributions are made by each Common Unit holder in proportion to its ownership percentage interest.
Distributions are made each quarter first to the Preferred Unit holders and then to the Common Unit holders in accordance with their ownership percentage at the declaration date. Distributions are further reallocated between the general and Common Unit holders in accordance with the Asset Distribution Fee agreement. See note 7 for further discussion.
Net income is allocated first to the Preferred Unit holders at the stated rate and then to the Common Unit holders.
(b) | Revenues |
The Fund leases space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. Leases are accounted for as operating leases with minimum rent recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due.
As part of the leasing process, the Fund may provide the lessee with an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. These leasehold improvements are capitalized and recorded as tenant improvements, and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Fund is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Factors considered during this evaluation include, among other things, who holds legal title to the improvements as well as other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement and provisions for substantiation of such costs (e.g. unilateral control of the tenant space during the build-out process). Determination of the appropriate accounting for the payment of a tenant allowance is made on a lease-by-lease basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease.
Recognition of lease revenue commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space upon completion of tenant improvements when the Fund is the owner of the leasehold improvements. However, when the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant, the lease inception date is the date the tenant obtains possession of the leased space for purposes of constructing its leasehold improvements.
Substantially all of the lease agreements with anchor tenants contain provisions that provide for additional rents based on tenants’ sales volume (percentage rent) and reimbursement of the tenants’ share of real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance (“CAM”) costs. Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. Recovery of real estate taxes, insurance, and CAM costs are recognized as the respective costs are incurred in accordance with the lease agreements.

Land, buildings, and improvements are recorded at cost.
Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are recorded in operating and maintenance expense.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and improvements, the shorter of the useful life or the lease term for tenant improvements.
The Fund allocates the purchase price of assets acquired (net tangible and identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141”). Statement 141 provides guidance on the allocation of a portion of the purchase price of a property to intangible assets. The Fund’s methodology for this allocation includes estimating an “as-if vacant” fair value of the physical property, which is allocated to land, building, and improvements. The difference between the purchase price and the “as-if vacant” fair value is allocated to intangible assets. There are three categories of intangible assets to be considered: (i) value of in-place leases, (ii) above and below-market value of in-place leases, and (iii) customer relationship value.
The value of in-place leases is estimated based on the value associated with the costs avoided in originating leases compared to the acquired in-place leases as well as the value associated with lost rental and recovery revenue during the assumed lease-up period. The value of in-place leases is recorded to amortization expense over the remaining initial term of the respective leases in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“Statement 142”).
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the comparable in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The value of above-market leases is amortized as a reduction of minimum rent over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of below- market leases is accreted to minimum rent over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including below-market renewal options, if applicable. The Fund does not allocate value to customer relationship intangibles if it or Regency has pre-existing business relationships with the major retailers in the acquired property since they do not provide incremental value over the Fund’s existing relationships.
The Fund follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“Statement 144”). In accordance with Statement 144, the Fund classifies an operating property or a property in development as held-for-sale when the Fund determines that the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, the property is being actively marketed for sale, and management believes it is probable that a
8

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 (unaudited) and 2007
sale will be consummated within one year. Given the nature of all real estate sales contracts, it is not unusual for such contracts to allow prospective buyers a period of time to evaluate the property prior to formal acceptance of the contract. In addition, certain other matters critical to the final sale, such as financing arrangements, often remain pending even upon contract acceptance. As a result, properties under contract may not close within the expected time period, or may not close at all. Therefore, any properties categorized as held-for-sale represent only those properties that management has determined are probable to close within the requirements set forth in Statement 144. Operating properties held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. The recording of depreciation and amortization expense is suspended during the held-for-sale period. No properties were classified as “held-for-sale” at December 31, 2008 or 2007.
In accordance with Statement 144 and EITF 03-13 “Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations” (“EITF 03-13”), when the Fund sells a property or classifies a property as held-for-sale and will not have significant continuing involvement in the operation of the property, the operations of the property are eliminated from ongoing operations and classified in discontinued operations. In accordance with EITF 87-24 “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations” (“EITF 87-24”), its operations, including any mortgage interest and gain on sale, are reported in discontinued operations so that the operations are clearly distinguished. Prior periods are also reclassified to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations. When the Fund sells operating properties and will continue to manage the properties, the operations and gains on sales are included in income from continuing operations.
The Fund reviews its real estate portfolio whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For properties to be “held and used” for long term investment, the Fund estimates undiscounted future cash flows over the expected investment term including the estimated future value of the asset upon sale at the end of the investment period. Future value is generally determined by applying a market based capitalization rate to the estimated future net operating income in the final year of the expected investment term. If after applying this method a property is determined to be impaired, the Fund determines the provision for impairment based upon applying a market capitalization rate to current estimated net operating income as if the sale were to occur immediately. For properties “held for sale”, the Fund estimates current resale values by market through appraisal information and other market data less expected costs to sell. These methods of determining fair value can fluctuate significantly as a result of a number of factors, including changes in the general economy of those markets in which the Fund operates, tenant credit quality, and demand for new retail stores. No impairment was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008 or from the period December 21, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2007.
(d) | Income Taxes |
Certain entities within the Fund were formed as Delaware real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) in December 2006 and elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Under the Internal Revenue Code, a REIT is generally not required to pay federal income taxes if it distributes 90% of its taxable income and meets certain other requirements.

Regency Retail Partners
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 (unaudited) and 2007
The Fund accounts for uncertainties in income tax law in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, tax positions shall initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The Fund believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years (after 2006 for federal and state) based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter.
(e) | Deferred Costs |
Deferred costs include leasing costs and loan costs, net of accumulated amortization. Such costs are amortized over the periods through lease expiration or loan maturity, respectively. If the lease is terminated early or if the loan is repaid prior to maturity, the remaining leasing costs or loan costs are written off. Deferred leasing costs consist of external commissions associated with leasing the Fund’s shopping centers. Net deferred leasing costs were approximately $195,000 at December 31, 2008. Deferred loan costs consist of initial direct and incremental costs associated with financing activities. Net deferred loan costs were $1.3 million and approximately $510,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
(f) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Any instruments that have an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents.
(g) | Restricted Cash |
At December 31, 2008, $1.3 million of cash was restricted through escrow agreements required for certain mortgage loans.
(h) | Tenant Receivables |
Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. The Fund estimates the collectibility of the accounts receivable related to base rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements, and other revenue taking into consideration the Fund’s experience in the retail sector, available internal and external tenant credit information, payment history, industry trends, tenant credit-worthiness, and remaining lease terms. In some cases, primarily relating to straight-line rents, the collection of these amounts extends beyond one year.
(i) | Fair Value Measurements |
On January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“Statement 157”) as amended by FASB Staff Position “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). Statement 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in
10
Regency Retail Partners
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 (unaudited) and 2007
fair value measurements, Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
• | Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
• | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
• | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Fund’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. |
As required by Statement 157, assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Fund’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may effect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. As of December 31, 2008, all of the Fund’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were derived using primarily Level 3 inputs.
(j) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142-3”). This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141R, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The impact of adopting this statement is not considered to be material.
In February 2008, the FASB amended Statement 157 with FSP FAS 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP FAS 157-2) to delay the effective date of Statement 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Fund does not believe the adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 for its nonfinancial assets and liabilities will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141(R)”). This Statement, among other things, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. This Statement also establishes disclosure requirements of the acquirer to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect of the business combination. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after
11

December 31, 2008 (unaudited) and 2007
December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. The impact on the Fund’s financial statements will be reflected at the time of any acquisition after the implementation date that meets the requirements above.
2. | Real Estate Investments |
During 2008, the Fund acquired two shopping centers, one from Regency and one from a third party, for a combined purchase price of $167.8 million. Acquired lease intangible assets and acquired lease intangible liabilities of $17.9 million and $9.3 million, respectively, were recorded for these acquisitions. During the period from December 21, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2007, the Fund acquired eight shopping centers from Regency for a combined purchase price of $199.4 million.

9. | Fair Value Measurements |
Notes Payable
The fair value of fixed rate loans are estimated using cash flows discounted at current market rates available to the Fund for debt with similar terms and maturities. Fixed rate loans assumed in connection with real estate acquisitions are recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value at the time of acquisition. The carrying value of the Fund’s Subscription Line is based upon a spread above LIBOR which is lower than the spreads available in the current credit markets, causing the fair value of such variable rate debt to be below its carrying value. Based on the estimates used by the Fund, the fair value of mortgage notes payable and the Subscription Line was approximately $190.7 million at December 31, 2008.
