Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.

We have audited the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses of those certain properties (the “Properties”) of RVG Entity Owners for the year ended December 31, 2004. The combined financial statement is the responsibility of the Properties’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this combined financial statement 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 combined financial statement is free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Properties’ internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Properties’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in Form 8-K/A of Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties’ combined revenues and certain expenses.

In our opinion, the combined financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain expenses of the Properties as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to the Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2004
For the three months ended March 31, 2005 (unaudited)

1.      Basis of Presentation

          Presented herein is the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses related to the operations of 8 supermarket-anchored shopping centers, located primarily in Virginia, with centers also located in Pennsylvania, (the “Properties”). The Properties contain approximately 575,000 square feet of gross leasable area. Pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 10, 2005, as amended, which became non-cancelable on June 24, 2005, Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc is expected to acquire the Properties during August 2005. 

           The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the acquisition of real estate properties. Accordingly, the combined financial statements exclude certain expenses because they may not be comparable to those expected to be incurred in the proposed future operations of the Properties. Items excluded consist of interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense, which are not directly related to future operations.

2.      Use of Estimates

          The preparation of the combined statements of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined statements of revenues and certain expenses and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.      Revenue Recognition

          The Properties are being leased to tenants under operating leases. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases was approximately $140,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $33,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 (unaudited).

4.      Property Operating Expenses

          Property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 include approximately $63,000 for insurance, $28,000 for snow removal, $68,000 for utilities, $107,000 for repair and maintenance costs, $22,000 for professional fees, $45,000 for landscaping and $65,000 for other costs.

          Property operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 (unaudited) include approximately $22,000 for insurance, $31,000 for snow removal, $14,000 for utilities, $33,000 for repair and maintenance costs, $7,000 for landscaping and $17,000 for other costs.

5.      Management Fees

          The Properties were managed by RVG Properties Management, Inc., a related party; management fees of approximately $168,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 (unaudited) were incurred. The Properties were managed pursuant to agreements which provided for flat monthly management fees.

6.      Significant Tenants

          Significant tenants include Farm Fresh and Giant Food Stores, which constituted approximately 60% and 21%, respectively, of base rents for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 54% and 29%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 (unaudited).

          The lease agreements generally contain provisions for reimbursement of real estate taxes and operating expenses, on a pro rata basis, as well as for fixed increases in rent.

8.       Interim Unaudited Financial Information

          The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for this interim period have been included. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.
