General
We are an owner and operator of community and neighborhood shopping centers in the United States. As of December 31, 2008, we owned interests in 203 properties in 28 states, including 202 wholly-owned properties and one property held through a consolidated joint venture (collectively, our "Consolidated Portfolio"), as well as 257 properties held through unconsolidated joint ventures. The 460 properties include 445 community and neighborhood shopping centers with approximately 71.2 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"), and 15 related retail assets with approximately 1.3 million square feet of GLA. Our Consolidated Portfolio includes 197 community and neighborhood shopping centers with approximately 30.0 million square feet of GLA. At December 31, 2008, the GLA for our Consolidated Portfolio was approximately 86% leased and the GLA for our total portfolio, including our pro rata share of joint venture properties, was approximately 90% leased.
Our predecessor, New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("New Plan" or our "predecessor"), was a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust. On February 27, 2007, New Plan and Excel Realty Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership in which New Plan, through a wholly owned subsidiary, was the general partner, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with us, Super MergerSub Inc. ("MergerSub"), and Super DownREIT MergerSub LLC (together with us and MergerSub, the "Buyer Parties"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MergerSub commenced and completed a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of New Plan. On April 20, 2007, New Plan and the Buyer Parties completed the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, MergerSub merged with and into New Plan (the "Merger"), with New Plan surviving the Merger, and in connection therewith, Super DownREIT Acquisition L.P. ("DownREIT Acquisition") merged with and into Excel Realty Partners, L.P. (the "DownREIT Partnership"), with the DownREIT Partnership continuing as the surviving limited partnership (the "DownREIT Merger," and together with the Merger, the "Mergers"). As a result of the Merger, New Plan became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours and any stockholder who held shares of Common Stock prior to the Merger ceased to be a stockholder effective as of the Merger.
On April 20, 2007, immediately following the Merger, New Plan, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, was liquidated (the "Liquidation"), and in connection with the Liquidation, (a) all of New Plan's assets were transferred to us and we assumed all of its liabilities, (b) all outstanding shares of preferred stock of New Plan were automatically converted into, and cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, cash liquidating distributions in accordance with their terms, and (c) all shares of Common Stock of New Plan were cancelled. As a result of the Merger and Liquidation, New Plan filed a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 pursuant to which it terminated its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, with respect to its Common Stock and 7.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Immediately following the Merger and the Liquidation, our employees became employees of Centro US Management Joint Venture 2, LP (formerly known as Centro Watt Management Joint Venture 2, L.P. and referred to in this report as the "Management Joint Venture"). The distribution occurred in order to comply with certain tax restrictions applicable to our ultimate equity owners and to permit such employees to serve management functions at other properties controlled by our affiliates. Following this distribution, Centro Super Management Joint Venture 2, LLC, a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the Management Joint Venture (the "Company Management Joint Venture"), managed our properties, although during a transition period, certain of our subsidiaries continued to provide payroll, benefit and other transition services with respect to our former employees. Such transition services continued through April 30, 2008. Contracts memorializing the management services
4
arrangements under which we were operating were entered into on March 28, 2008 in connection with an amendment to our revolving credit facility.
Although our employees were employed by the Management Joint Venture shortly following the Merger and Liquidation, for the period from the merger date to April 30, 2008, we continued to incur all costs relating to the payroll and benefits of their employees employed by the Management Joint Venture as well as incurring other transition services while the Management Joint Venture finalized arrangements to replicate such functions.
As we continued to provide services on a transitionary basis through April 30, 2008, for accounting purposes, the Distribution, Contribution and Assignment Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") entered into by us, Super LLC, the Management Joint Venture, Centro US Employment Company, LLC and Centro New Plan, Inc (a member of Super LLC) dated March 28, 2008, has not been reflected during the period to April 30, 2008. The distribution has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements covered in this report as of May 1, 2008. As a result, certain assets and liabilities have been distributed out as of May 1, 2008. The significant assets and liabilities that were distributed in relation to the Distribution Agreement (the "Service Business Transfer") were goodwill, furniture and fittings, and employee benefits related accruals/reserves. The Service Business Transfer did not involve the transfer of the assets and property management rights relating to the management of properties owned by the unconsolidated ventures. However, the property management rights relating to the management of properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures were subcontracted to the Company Management Joint Venture. The total net assets distributed as part of the Service Business Transfer were $221.9 million.
In connection with the Mergers, we, New Plan Realty Trust, LLC (as successor to New Plan Realty Trust, but only with respect to the 1999 Indenture (as defined below)) and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") entered into supplemental indentures (the "Supplemental Indentures"), each dated as of April 20, 2007, to (i) the Indenture dated as of March 29, 1995 (the "1995 Indenture"), by and between New Plan (as successor to New Plan Realty Trust) and the Trustee (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor to The First National Bank of Boston), (ii) the Indenture dated as of February 3, 1999 (the "1999 Indenture"), by and among New Plan, New Plan Realty Trust, as guarantor, and the Trustee (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company), and (iii) the Indenture dated as of January 30, 2004 (the "2004 Indenture," and collectively with the 1995 Indenture and the 1999 Indenture, the "Indentures"), by and between New Plan and the Trustee. The Supplemental Indentures each provided for us to assume all of the obligations of New Plan under each of the Indentures, effective upon consummation of the Merger.
As the successor obligor to New Plan's unsecured senior notes, we intend to continue to file with the SEC any annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to the Indentures governing the unsecured senior notes.
We are a Maryland limited liability company and maintain our principal executive offices at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170, where our telephone number is (212) 869-3000.

Extension of Amended July 2007 Facility
On December 15, 2008, we entered into a letter agreement (the "December 2008 Facility Extension Agreement") modifying and waiving various provisions of the $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (of which there is an outstanding balance of $306.5 million as of December 31, 2008) we entered into on July 31, 2007, with Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, the "Amended July 2007 Facility"). The December 2008 Facility Extension Agreement, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Amended July 2007 Facility to January 15, 2009.

On January 15, 2009, we entered into a Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility (the "Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility") modifying certain terms and conditions of the Amended July 2007 Facility, and superseding the terms and conditions set forth in letter agreements entered into by us with Bank of America, as administrative agent, on February 14, 2008, March 28, 2008, May 7, 2008, May 30, 2008, September 26, 2008, and the December 2008 Facility Extension Agreement.

Material modifications to the Amended July 2007 Facility include:
- •
- extension of the maturity date from January 15, 2009 to December 31, 2010;
- •
- the default interest rate was increased such that upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest accrues at a rate equal to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 11.25%. No event of default has occurred and interest continues to accrue at LIBOR or the prime rate plus 1.75%;
- •
- the loans and other obligations under the Amended July 2007 Facility are required to be paid upon the receipt by us of net proceeds from the disposition of certain properties;

- •
- certain of our parent entities covenanted to take and avoid taking certain actions with respect to us (e.g. entering into any agreement that limits our flexibility, or grants lender consent rights, with respect to the sale of Company assets, obtaining guaranties from us with respect to parent debt, pledging assets of the Company in favor of parent's creditors, and permitting us to transfer assets to our parent entities), and a breach of such covenants was made an event of default under the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility; and
- •
- release of the parent company guaranty under that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated July 31, 2007, by and among CPT Manager Limited, as a responsible entity of the Centro Property Trust ("CPT"), and Centro Properties Limited ("CPL") as guarantors in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.
In addition to the foregoing modifications, the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for financings of this type. We have also agreed to put in place an interest rate cap with respect to the debt under the Amended July 2007 Facility. A full description of the Amended July 2007 Facility can be found under the section "Description of the Amended July 2007 Facility."
Second Amended and Restated Super Bridge Loan
On December 15, 2008, Super LLC, our sole and managing member, entered into a letter agreement (the "Prior Super Bridge Loan December 2008 Extension Agreement") modifying and waiving various provisions of the amended and restated loan agreement it entered into on August 1, 2007, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, for an approximate amount of $2.6 billion (the "Prior Super Bridge Loan"). The Prior Super Bridge Loan December 2008 Extension
6
Agreement, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Prior Super Bridge Loan to January 15, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, the approximate outstanding balance of the Prior Super Bridge Loan was $1.9 billion.
On January 15, 2009, Super LLC entered into a second amended and restated loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, amending and restating the Prior Super Bridge Loan with an approximate outstanding balance of $1.9 billion (the "Super Bridge Loan"). Proceeds from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture (as described below), that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility (as described below) were used to repay $133.5 million of the outstanding balance under the Super Bridge Loan leaving an approximate outstanding balance of $1.75 billion. The maturity date has been extended to December 31, 2010 and the applicable margin of 1.75% remains unchanged from the previously negotiated applicable margin under the Prior Super Bridge Loan. We are not an obligor under the Super Bridge Loan but the Amended July 2007 Facility will cross-default upon any default of the Super Bridge Loan.
Preston Ridge Facility
BPR Shopping Center, LLC ("BPR LLC") is a subsidiary of Centro NP Residual Holding LLC (the "Residual Joint Venture"), which is a joint venture between us and Super LLC whereby we own 49% of the non-managing member interest in the Residual Joint Venture and Super LLC owns 51% of the managing member interest in the Residual Joint Venture. On January 15, 2009, BPR LLC entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the "Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as agent and a lender) and the other lenders party thereto, which amended and restated the $105.0 million credit facility entered into by BPR LLC on February 14, 2008, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as agent and a lender) and the other lenders party thereto. The Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility, among other things, extended the maturity date to December 31, 2010. The applicable margin under the Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility remained unchanged. The Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility has an outstanding balance of $105.0 million and no additional amounts may be drawn. The Amended July 2007 Facility will cross-default upon any default of the Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility.
Residual Credit Facility
On January 15, 2009, certain subsidiaries of the Residual Joint Venture entered into a credit facility (the "Residual Credit Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as agent and a lender) and the other lenders party thereto, pursuant to which they may borrow up to $370.0 million. The Residual Credit Facility is collateralized by properties that were contributed by us and now owned by the borrowers under the Residual Credit Facility and certain other subsidiaries of the Residual Joint Venture and has a maturity date of December 31, 2010. The Residual Credit Facility is guaranteed by Super LLC, the Residual Joint Venture and Centro NP Residual Holding Sub 1, LLC, a subsidiary of the Residual Joint Venture and the 100% owner of each of the borrowers under the Residual Credit Facility. An initial draw on the Residual Credit Facility in the amount of approximately $150.0 million was used for the repayment of a portion of the Super Bridge Loan, the payment of the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation (as described below) and the payment of the Secured Term Loan Payments (as described below). The remaining proceeds of the Residual Credit Facility may be used for development and redevelopment of certain properties, the payment of certain maturing debt and general corporate cash needs. However, we do not control the Residual Joint Venture and cannot cause the Residual Joint Venture to make a draw under the Residual Credit Facility or to distribute the proceeds therefrom. A full description of the Residual Credit Facility can be found under "Description of the Residual Credit Facility." Further discussion of the contribution of our assets to the Residual Joint Venture can be found under "Residual Joint Venture."

DownREIT Redemption Right
Following receipt of redemption notices from twelve limited partners, the DownREIT Partnership entered into agreements (the "ERP Redemption Agreements") in June 2008 with the twelve limited partners with respect to the redemption of each such limited partner's outstanding Class A Preferred Units for an aggregate amount of $44.9 million of which $9.4 million remained outstanding as of December 31, 2008 (the "DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation"). On August 29, 2008, one of the limited partners party to an ERP Redemption Agreement entered into an agreement with the DownREIT Partnership revoking the redemption of its then outstanding remaining Class A Preferred Units and electing to retain such units. On September 12, 2008, November 25, 2008 and December 12, 2008, the DownREIT Partnership entered into amendments to the ERP Redemption Agreements with the remaining eleven limited partners who had elected to redeem their Class A Preferred Units which provided for, among other things, an extension of the redemption date of the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation ultimately to January 15, 2009. Additionally, on November 11, 2008, another Class A Preferred Unit Holder (separate to the previously discussed twelve limited partners that had made a redemption election) elected to redeem substantially all of its Class A Preferred Units. Such units were redeemed in exchange for the fee interest in a property. As of December 31, 2008, no other limited partners with Class A Preferred Units have made a redemption election. Such redemption election may be made at any time and we are required to make such redemption on the second to last business day of the quarter in which such election is made, provided that we receive the redemption election at least ten business days prior to such date.
On January 15, 2009, we paid in full the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation using proceeds from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture and an equity contribution from Super LLC that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2008, the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation is shown as a liability of "Redemption Rights" in the balance sheet.
Extension and Payment of Secured Term Loan Payments
Secured term loan payments in the aggregate amount of $9.4 million (the "Secured Term Loan Payments") were due to be paid on November 6, 2008, by CA New Plan Venture Fund, LLC, CA New Plan Venture Fund Texas I, L.P., CA New Plan Acquisition Fund, LLC, CA New Plan Acquisition Fund Louisiana, LLC, CA New Plan Venture Direct Investment Fund, LLC and CA New Plan DIF Texas I, L.P. (collectively, the "CA New Plan Entities") in connection with three loan agreements entered into in connection with the acquisition of ownership interest in CA New Plan Venture Fund LLC, CA New Plan Acquisition Fund LLC, and CA New Plan Direct Investment Fund, LLC in November 2007. The CA New Plan Entities entered into amendments on November 5, 2008, December 15, 2008, and January 15, 2009 to their respective loan agreements with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), the lender under such loans, extending the payment dates for the $9.4 million due from November 6, 2008 to within five business days of January 15, 2009 in order to permit the Company and Bank of America to discuss global resolutions of such debt together with the other Bank of America debt that came due on January 15, 2009. Proceeds from a distribution from the Residual Joint Venture and an equity contribution from Super LLC that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility were used to pay the secured term loan payments on January 23, 2009. The amendments also extended the maturity dates of the three loan agreements to December 31, 2010.
Tender Offer
On February 17, 2009, we commenced a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") pursuant to which we offered to purchase any or all of our 7.40% Senior Notes due September 2009 (the "2009 Notes"). The outstanding principal on the 2009 Notes was $150.0 million as of December 31, 2008. Holders who
8
validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their 2009 Notes on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, April 3, 2009 (the "Expiration Date") are eligible to receive $930.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2009 Notes (the "Tender Consideration"). The deadline for the Tender Offer was initially set to expire on Monday, March 23, 2009, but was subsequently extended to the Expiration Date. Holders of 2009 Notes who validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their 2009 Notes before the Expiration Date will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their 2009 Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer from the last interest payment date to, but not including the payment date for the 2009 Notes purchased in the Tender Offer, which will occur on April 8, 2009. The 2009 Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will be cancelled and retired. It is anticipated that proceeds from a distribution from the Residual Joint Venture and an equity contribution from Super LLC funded from the Residual Credit Facility will be used to pay the bondholders under the Tender Offer.
New Chief Executive Officer
On February 27, 2009, Glenn Rufrano relinquished his positions as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company but retained his position as Chief Executive Officer of Centro Properties Group which is one of our ultimate parent entities. We have appointed Michael Carroll to fill Mr. Rufrano's previous positions as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, effective February 27, 2009. Mr. Carroll previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company since April 20, 2007.
Focused Product Strategy
Our strategy is to own a quality portfolio of commercial retail properties, primarily community and neighborhood shopping centers, which will provide stable cash flow. We seek to implement this strategy by:
- •
- proactively managing our properties through our property manager;
- •
- redeveloping and upgrading our properties where appropriate and when we have sufficient capital;
- •
- effecting strategic asset dispositions;
- •
- completing our current new development opportunities;
- •
- seeking to reduce risk through geographic, tenant and retail format diversification of our portfolio; and
- •
- achieving a stable financial position.
By focusing our portfolio primarily on community and neighborhood shopping centers with anchors and other tenants providing "everyday necessities," we believe that our risk due to economic cycles is minimized.
Our ownership interests in real estate consist of our Consolidated Portfolio, which includes wholly-owned properties and properties consolidated in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46") or in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 04-5,Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights ("EITF 04-5"), and our unconsolidated joint venture portfolio, which includes properties owned by joint ventures in which we have an economic interest. Over time, we have entered into various strategic joint ventures with institutional investors and other partners to generate capital sources for redevelopment, new development and acquisitions, as well as to proactively create an opportunity to earn fees for property
9
management, leasing and other related services. We, together with our joint venture partners, apply similar operating, investing and capital strategies to the portfolios owned by our joint ventures as we do with respect to our Consolidated Portfolio.
Aggressive Management
We have entered into property management agreements with the Management Joint Venture, which we refer to as our property manager. Our property manager provides fully integrated property management and leasing for our properties as well as redevelopment and development management services. Our property manager proactively manages our properties, with an emphasis on maintaining high occupancy rates and a strong base of nationally and regionally recognized anchor tenants, as well as local specialty tenants, that generate substantial daily traffic. In order to support these efforts, our property manager has eight regional offices and multiple satellite field offices throughout the country, each of which is responsible for managing the leasing, property management and maintenance of properties in its area. Our property manager regularly monitors the physical condition of our properties and the financial condition of our tenants. We, and our property manager, remain focused on enhancing our collective property management skills and internal capabilities, systems and infrastructure.
In conjunction with our property manager, we seek to increase the cash flow and portfolio value of our existing properties primarily through contractual rent increases during the lease term, re-letting of existing space at increased rents, expansion and redevelopment of existing properties, development of undeveloped outparcels and the minimization of overhead and operating costs.
Redevelopment and Outparcel Development of Properties
During 2008, we completed eight redevelopment projects in our Consolidated Portfolio, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on these projects, was approximately $18.6 million. Our current redevelopment pipeline in our Consolidated Portfolio is comprised of 13 projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on these projects, is expected to be approximately $161.4 million. In addition, we develop outparcels of properties in our Consolidated Portfolio and during the year ended December 31, 2008, we completed one outparcel development project, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on the project, was approximately $5.6 million. Currently, there are no outparcel developments in the pipeline in our Consolidated Portfolio. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility, and are limited to financing any development and redevelopment costs from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture and equity contribution from Super LLC that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. However, we do not control the Residual Joint Venture and cannot cause the Residual Joint Venture to make a draw under the Residual Credit Facility or to distribute the proceeds therefrom. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such redevelopment and outparcel development of properties. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance the balance of these obligations following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
New Development of Properties
We selectively entered into new development opportunities. These projects were driven by tenant demand, and as such, we generally have a lease executed with the anchor tenant prior to investing substantial capital. Such activity enhances our relationships with our anchor tenants by demonstrating our ability to serve their growth needs. Currently we are only completing our current new development opportunities and are not seeking out new development opportunities.
10
Our current new development pipeline in our Consolidated Portfolio is comprised of two projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on these projects, is expected to be approximately $74.5 million. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility, and are limited to financing any development and redevelopment costs from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture, and equity contributions from Super LLC, that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such development costs. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance the balance of these obligations following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
Under certain agreements governing our joint venture investments, our joint ventures may make capital calls upon the joint venture members or partners to fund certain costs of operation. In connection with the Supplement to the Amendment July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility, and are limited to financing any development and redevelopment costs from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture, and equity contributions from Super LLC, that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance any obligations following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
Acquisition of Properties
During the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, we acquired land immediately adjacent to a property owned by us (Land at Victory Square), the remaining 75% interest in a shopping center in which we owned the other 25% (The Centre at Preston Ridge which was subsequently transferred to the Residual Joint Venture in March 2008) and one land parcel. We also acquired the remaining 90% interests in real estate assets of three of our joint ventures in which we owned the other 10% of each real estate asset through the joint ventures (CA New Plan Venture Fund LLC, CA New Plan Acquisition Fund, LLC and CA New Plan Direct Investment Fund, LLC) in November 2007. Combined, these joint ventures owned a total of 18 properties. During the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007, our predecessor acquired one shopping center (Stewart Plaza) and one land parcel. The acquisitions were completed in separate transactions during 2007 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $398.0 million and were comprised of properties located within our existing regional concentrations. During 2008, we did not acquire any additional properties. Until such time as we are able to put in place an appropriate liquidity facility or raise additional capital, we do not presently have the means to acquire additional properties in our Consolidated Portfolio.
During 2008, we expanded our joint venture portfolios by acquiring, together with our joint venture partners, three properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $40.8 million. Until such time as we are able to raise additional capital, we do not presently have the means to acquire additional properties in our consolidated or joint venture portfolios.
Disposition of Properties
We generally hold our properties for investment and the production of rental income and not for sale to customers or other buyers in the ordinary course of our business. However, to maximize value, our property manager continually analyzes each asset in our portfolio and identifies those properties that can be sold or exchanged in light of prevailing market conditions and the particular characteristics of each property. Through this strategy, we seek to continually update our core property portfolio by disposing of properties that have limited growth potential or are not a strategic fit within our overall portfolio. We also consider our liquidity needs in determining whether dispositions may be warranted.
11
Based on our currently budgeted liquidity needs, we may need to dispose of certain assets to fund our operations. In addition, we may engage from time to time in like-kind property exchanges, which allow us to dispose of properties and redeploy proceeds in a tax efficient manner.
Residual Joint Venture
In August 2007, we formed the Residual Joint Venture with Super LLC, our sole and managing member. Through a number of contributions and distributions, we contributed 49% of our interest in certain subsidiaries, owning 74 real properties with an approximate value of $1.8 billion, to the Residual Joint Venture. We distributed the remaining 51% of our interest in the transferred entities to Super LLC, and Super LLC contributed such interest in the transferred entities to the Residual Joint Venture. Following these transactions, we owned 49% of the non-managing interest in the Residual Joint Venture, and Super LLC owned 51% of the managing member interest in the Residual Joint Venture. Also in November 2007, Super LLC contributed its interest in certain subsidiaries, owning 39 real properties with an approximate value of $385.0 million, to the Residual Joint Venture. Immediately following such contribution, Super LLC contributed a percentage of membership interests in the Residual Joint Venture such that we continued to own 49% of the non-managing interest in the Residual Joint Venture, and Super LLC continued to own 51% of the managing member interest in the Residual Joint Venture.
On January 15, 2009, we executed a contribution, distribution and assignment agreement (the "January 2009 Contribution Agreement") together with Super LLC, the Residual Joint Venture and Centro NP Residual Holding Sub 1, LLC, and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the January 2009 Contribution Agreement, we contributed 49% of our interest in certain subsidiaries owning 48 real properties with an approximate fair market value of $513.4 million to the Residual Joint Venture. We distributed 51% of our interest in the transferred entities to Super LLC, and Super LLC contributed such interest in the transferred entities to the Residual Joint Venture. The Residual Joint Venture then contributed its interest in the transferred entities to Centro NP Residual Holding Sub 1, LLC. Following these transactions, we continued to own 49% of the non-managing interest in the Residual Joint Venture, and Super LLC continued to own 51% of the managing member interest in the Residual Joint Venture.
Portfolio Diversification
We seek to reduce risk through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of our properties, the breadth of our tenant base and the balanced mix of both community and neighborhood shopping centers. As a result, the largest shopping center in our Consolidated Portfolio, as a percent of our total Consolidated Portfolio annualized base rent ("ABR"), is just 2.8% of our total Consolidated Portfolio ABR and the ten largest tenants in our Consolidated Portfolio account for 19.0% of our total Consolidated Portfolio ABR. Our properties are strategically located across 28 states. By owning both community shopping centers and neighborhood shopping centers we are able to offer convenience shopping for the day-to-day needs of consumers, as well as a broad range of general merchandise.
Competition
We face considerable competition in the leasing of real estate, which is a highly competitive market. We compete (through our property manager) with a number of other companies in providing leases to prospective tenants and in re-letting space to current tenants upon expiration of their respective leases. If our tenants decide not to renew or extend their leases upon expiration, we may not be able to re-let the space. Even if the tenants do renew or we can re-let the space, the terms of renewal or re-letting, including the cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants, may be less favorable or more costly than current lease terms or than expectations for the space. We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, price, co-tenants
12
and physical conditions of our properties. In this regard, our property manager proactively manages and, where and when appropriate, redevelops and upgrades, our properties, with an emphasis on maintaining high occupancy rates and a strong base of nationally and regionally recognized anchor tenants, as well as local specialty tenants, that generate substantial daily traffic. In addition, we believe that the breadth of our national portfolio of properties, and the local knowledge and market intelligence of our regional operating system, make us attractive to national, regional and local retailers.
Environmental Exposure
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulations that apply generally to the ownership of real property and the operations conducted on real property. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be considered an owner or operator of real property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at a property and, therefore, may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in our property or disposed of by us, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). Such liability may be imposed whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of these hazardous or toxic substances. As is common with community and neighborhood shopping centers, many of our properties had or have on-site dry cleaners and/or on-site gasoline facilities. These operations could potentially result in environmental contamination at the properties. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral.
We are aware that soil and groundwater contamination exists at some of our properties. The primary contaminants of concern at these properties include perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene (associated with the operations of on-site dry cleaners) and petroleum hydrocarbons (associated with the operations of on-site gasoline facilities). We also are aware that asbestos-containing materials exist at some of our properties. While we do not expect the environmental conditions at our properties, considered as a whole, to have a material adverse effect on us, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Further, no assurance can be given that any environmental studies performed have identified or will identify all material environmental conditions, that any prior owner of the properties did not create a material environmental condition not known to us or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist with respect to any of our properties.
Employees
As of December 31, 2008, we had no employees. Our operations are managed by the Management Joint Venture.

Financial Information about Industry Segments
Our principal business is the ownership and development of community and neighborhood shopping centers. We do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis when measuring performance. All operations are within the United States and no tenant accounts for more than 10% of total revenue. Accordingly, we believe we have a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. See the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information required by Item 1.
Overview
Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to investors who purchase or own our securities that are not otherwise described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the following factors or circumstances could adversely affect our cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and/or our ability to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditure obligations, any or all of which could in turn cause a decline in the value of our securities.
We have substantial short-term liquidity obligations consisting primarily of short-term indebtedness, which we may be unable to refinance on favorable terms or at all. During 2009, we have an aggregate of $188.5 million of mortgage debt, notes payable and credit facilities scheduled to mature, $19.3 million of scheduled mortgage amortization payments and a $9.4 million required loan paydown. If principal payments on debt due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid, we will be in default under our debt obligations, and we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms. Such defaults may in turn cause cross defaults in certain of our or our affiliates' other debt obligations.
In addition, because we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility and because of the restrictions imposed on us by the Amended July 2007 Facility, the Super Bridge Loan, the Residual Credit Facility and the Indentures, we may not be able to repay or refinance short-term debt obligations that comes due. Until such time as we are able to incur additional indebtedness, put in place an appropriate liquidity facility, raise additional capital or receive distributions from the Residual Joint Venture and/or contributions from our parent, we may be unable to refinance our short-term debt obligations on favorable terms or at all. Also, due to financial constraints of our ultimate Australian parents, it is unlikely that they will be able to make additional equity contributions to alleviate any short-term liquidity issues we may encounter.
In connection with our refinancing difficulties, our credit ratings are all below investment grade. Standard & Poor's current rating is CCC+; CreditWatch with developing implications. Fitch's current ratings is CCC; rating watch negative. Moody's current rating is Caa1 and under review for possible downgrade. There may be additional reductions in our ratings depending on our operating performance and our ability to refinance the Amended July 2007 Facility.
Furthermore, under certain agreements governing our joint venture investments, our joint ventures may make capital calls upon the joint venture members or partners to fund certain costs of operation. Capital calls by a joint venture could increase our short-term liquidity obligations. If we are unable to satisfy our obligations pursuant to a capital call, we will be in breach of the agreement governing the particular joint venture.
We may need to dispose of a number of properties in order to meet our currently budgeted liquidity needs. Based on our currently budgeted liquidity needs, we may need to dispose of certain assets to fund our operations. Because we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility and because of the restrictions imposed on us by the Amended July 2007 Facility, the Super Bridge
14
Loan, the Residual Credit Facility and the Indentures which, among other things, prohibit us from incurring additional indebtedness, if we are unable to complete such asset sales, we may not be able to meet our liquidity needs. In addition, due to certain repayment obligations under the Amended July 2007 Facility, proceeds from the disposition of properties may not be available to meet other liquidity needs.
Recent disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing or renegotiate our existing indebtedness on reasonable terms and may have other adverse effects on us. Recent events in the financial markets have had an adverse impact on the credit markets and, as a result, credit has become more expensive and difficult to obtain. The United States credit markets have recently experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which have caused the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of financing. The negative impact on the tightening of the credit markets may have a material adverse effect on us resulting from, but not limited to, an inability to refinance our short-term and long-term debt obligations on favorable terms, if at all, increased financing costs or financing with increasingly restrictive covenants. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to renegotiate our existing indebtedness or to sell properties or may adversely affect the price we receive for properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. The negative impact of the recent disruptions in the credit markets on the real estate sector generally or our inability to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and business.
Cross-default provisions in our borrowing arrangements increase the consequences of a default. The Amended July 2007 Facility will cross default upon any default under the Super Bridge Loan, the Residual Credit Facility, the Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility or other property debt. Accordingly, should an event of default occur under any of these debt agreements, we face the prospect of being in default under each of such debt instruments to which we are an obligor. Although we are not an obligor under the Super Bridge Loan, the Residual Credit Facility, or the Preston Ridge Facility, a default by any of the obligors pursuant to any of these debt facilities (through non-payment upon maturity, among other things) would, pursuant to the cross-default provisions, trigger a default under the Amended July 2007 Facility. In addition, any defaults or foreclosures under our mortgage debt outstanding could expose us to the possibility of cross-defaults under our obligations under the Indentures or the Amended July 2007 Facility. Our parent's pledge of its ownership interest in us may expose us to possible claims of default in certain of our mortgage debt outstanding, which, if demand for payment is made by the lenders, could cause cross-defaults in certain of our other debt. In the event of a cross-default, we might not be able to obtain alternative financing for the defaulted obligations or, if we are able to obtain such financing, we might not be able to obtain it on terms acceptable to us. There are currently no instances of default of debt obligations where cross-default provisions exist with certain debt obligations.
There are default and cross-default provisions in our borrowing arrangements which may be triggered by actions that could be taken (or which are not taken) by entities that we do not control. The Amended July 2007 Facility has several events of default that may be triggered by actions taken (or not taken) by our direct and indirect equity owners and by their other subsidiaries. In addition, the Amended July 2007 Facility will cross-default upon any default under the Super Bridge Loan, the Residual Credit Facility and the Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility. As we do not control our equity owners or the obligors under the Super Bridge Loan, the Residual Credit Facility or the Preston Ridge Facility, our liquidity and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected by actions that are not within our control.
15
We are limited to financing any liquidity requirements from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture, and equity contributions from Super LLC, that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility, and we may be unable to finance such liquidity requirements after exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility. We have historically met our short-term liquidity requirements with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for management fees, operating and other expenses directly associated with our portfolio of properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our outstanding debt and capital expenditures incurred in our development and redevelopment projects. Our current new development pipeline in our Consolidated Portfolio is comprised of two projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on these projects, is expected to be approximately $74.5 million. Our current redevelopment pipeline in our Consolidated Portfolio is comprised of 13 projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on these projects, is expected to be approximately $161.4 million. We presently have $14.6 million of costs, including costs incurred in prior years, attributable to our pro rata share of redevelopment costs for projects in our joint venture portfolio.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the principal amount of our long-term debt as it matures, significant non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically at our properties and redevelopment or development projects that we undertake at our properties.
Because we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility and certain of our or our affiliates' debt agreements currently prohibit us from incurring additional indebtedness, we are presently limited to financing any liquidity requirements from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture, and equity contributions from Super LLC, that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. However, we do not control the Residual Joint Venture and cannot cause the Residual Joint Venture to make a draw under the Residual Credit Facility or to distribute the proceeds therefrom. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such obligations. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance the balance of these obligations following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
Our financial covenants will restrict our operating and acquisition activities. The Amended July 2007 Facility and the Indentures contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to incur secured and unsecured debt, make dividend payments, sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants may restrict our ability to pursue certain business initiatives or certain acquisition transactions. In addition, failure to meet any of these covenants, including the financial coverage ratios, could cause an event of default under and/or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which would have a material adverse effect on us. Due to covenants in the Amended July 2007 Facility, Super Bridge Loan, Residual Credit Facility and our Indentures, we are presently unable to incur additional indebtedness and this restriction will limit our flexibility in restructuring our existing indebtedness.
Mortgage debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $400.4 million of mortgage debt outstanding, excluding the impact of unamortized premiums. If a property or group of properties is mortgaged to secure payment of debt and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the holder of the mortgage or lender could foreclose on the property, resulting in loss of our investment. Alternatively, if we decide to sell assets in the current market to raise funds to repay matured debt, it is possible that these properties will be disposed of at a loss. Also, certain of our mortgages contain customary negative covenants which, among other things,
16
limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the property, to enter into new leases or materially modify existing leases, and to discontinue insurance coverage.
The matters discussed herein under "Recent Developments" have also made it difficult for us to refinance property level debt in the ordinary course, and we were required to pay higher interest rates on certain property level debt because we were unable to refinance such debt.
Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing and adversely affect our business and financial condition. The following should be considered with reference to the fact that regardless of our degree of leverage, due to covenants in certain of our indebtedness, we are presently unable to incur additional indebtedness. Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the incurrence of debt. The degree of our leverage could have important consequences, including:
- •
- requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our funds from operations to servicing our debt;
- •
- affecting our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general purposes; and
- •
- making us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns.
In addition, as a result of the financial and operating covenants described below, our leverage could reduce our flexibility in conducting our business and planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the real estate industry.
The economic performance and value of our properties are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and with the real estate industry. As a real estate company, we are subject to all of the risks associated with owning and operating real estate, including:
- •
- changes in national, regional and local economic climate;
- •
- local conditions, including an oversupply of space in properties similar to those that we own, or a reduction in demand for properties similar to those that we own;
- •
- the attractiveness of our properties to tenants;
- •
- the financial stability of tenants, including the ability of tenants to pay rent;
- •
- competition from other available properties;
- •
- changes in market rental rates;
- •
- the need to periodically fund the costs to repair, renovate and re-let space;
- •
- changes in operating costs, including costs for maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes;
- •
- earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes and other natural disasters, civil unrest, terrorist acts or acts of war, which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses;
- •
- the fact that the expenses of owning and operating properties are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the properties; and
- •
- changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes.
Downturns in the retailing industry likely will have a direct impact on our performance. Our properties consist of community and neighborhood shopping centers and other retail properties. Our performance therefore is linked to economic conditions in the market for retail space generally, and a decrease in the demand for retail space may have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio. The market for retail space has
17
been adversely affected by weakness in national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of some retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets, and increasing consumer purchases through catalogues and the Internet. To the extent that any of these conditions worsen, they are likely to further impact market rents for retail space and could adversely affect our business.
In addition, our concentration in retail properties means that we are subject to the risks that affect the retail environment generally, including the levels of consumer spending, seasonality, changes in economic conditions, consumer confidence and terrorist activities. The U.S. economy has recently experienced a financial downturn, with consumer spending on the decline, credit tightening and unemployment rising. Many financial and economic analysts are predicting that the world economy may be entering into a prolonged economic downturn characterized by high unemployment, limited availability of credit and decreased consumer and business spending. This economic downturn is expected to adversely affect the businesses of many of our tenants. The likelihood that the United States is entering a prolonged recession could adversely affect consumer spending. A further reduction in consumer spending or confidence could have further adverse effects on our results of operations or financial condition.
Failure by any anchor tenant with leases in multiple locations to make rental payments to us, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, could seriously harm our performance. Our performance depends on our ability to collect rent, through our property managers, from tenants. At any time, our tenants may experience a downturn in their business that may significantly weaken their financial condition. As a result, our tenants may delay a number of lease commencements, decline to extend or renew a number of leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due under a number of leases, close a number of stores or declare bankruptcy. Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenant's leases, or expiration of existing leases without renewal, and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated or expired leases. In addition, lease terminations by an anchor tenant or a failure by that anchor tenant to occupy the premises could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping centers under the terms of some leases. In that event, our property manager may be unable to re-lease the vacated space at attractive rents or at all. The occurrence of any of the situations described above, particularly if it involves a substantial tenant with leases in multiple locations, could seriously harm our performance. As of December 31, 2008, our largest tenants were The Kroger Co. and Sears Holdings Corp., the scheduled ABR for which represented 3.5% and 2.5%, respectively, of our total ABR excluding our pro rata share of ABR generated by properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures.
We are unable to collect balances due from an increasing number of tenants in bankruptcy and face potential adverse effects as a result. Bankruptcy filings by retailers occur in the course of our operations. We are continually re-leasing vacant spaces resulting from tenant terminations. We have seen a significant increase in tenant bankruptcies in 2008 and current economic conditions suggest this trend could continue or worsen. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one of our tenants or a lease guarantor bars all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or the lease guarantor, or their property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. These tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcies delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. Any unsecured claim we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims, and there are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, in many tenant bankruptcies, we recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold from a bankrupt tenant. Additionally, the bankruptcy of a tenant, particularly an anchor tenant, may make it
18
more difficult to lease the remainder of the affected properties. Future tenant bankruptcies could adversely affect our properties or impact our ability to successfully execute our re-leasing strategy. As a result, tenant bankruptcies may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Current and future development and redevelopment of real estate properties may not yield expected returns and may strain management resources. We are actively involved in several ongoing redevelopment projects, and a few development projects. We also expect to complete the current new development projects in our pipeline and invest in additional redevelopment projects in the future if financial and market conditions warrant it.
Redevelopment and new development of properties are subject to a number of risks, including the following:
- •
- abandonment of development activities after expending resources to determine feasibility;
- •
- construction and/or lease-up delays;
- •
- cost overruns, including construction costs that exceed our original estimates;
- •
- failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all; and
- •
- delays with respect to obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits, and changes in zoning and land use laws.
If any of these problems occur, overall project costs may significantly exceed the costs that were estimated when the project was originally undertaken, which will result in reduced returns, or even losses, from such investments. In addition, we may not have sufficient liquidity to fund such projects and delays in the completion of a development or redevelopment project may provide various tenants the right to withdraw from a property.
In connection with the Supplement to the July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility, and are limited to financing any development and redevelopment costs from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture, and equity contributions from Super LLC, that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such development and redevelopment costs. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or complete certain asset sales, we may be unable to finance further development and redevelopment following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
Our current and future joint venture investments could be adversely affected by a lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on joint venture partners' financial condition. In some of our joint ventures, we have invested as a co-venturer or partner in the development or redevelopment of new properties, instead of developing projects directly. These investments involve risks not present in a wholly owned development or redevelopment project, including the following:
- •
- in these investments, we do not have exclusive control over the development, financing, leasing, management and other aspects of the project, which may prevent us from taking actions that are opposed by our joint venture partners;
- •
- we may be required to obtain prior consent from our co-venturers or partners for a sale or transfer to a third party of our interests in the joint venture, which restricts our ability to dispose of our interest in the joint venture;
19
- •
- our co-venturers or partners might have interests or goals that are inconsistent with our interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our interests or otherwise impede our objectives;
- •
- our co-venturers or partners also might become insolvent or bankrupt, which may delay construction or development of a property or increase our financial commitment to the joint venture;
- •
- such investments have the potential risk of impasse on certain major decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor our partner or co-venturer typically have full control over the joint venture;
- •
- any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners could result in litigation or arbitration that could increase our expenses and distract management from focusing their time and effort on our business; and
- •
- we might be liable for the actions of our joint venture partners in certain circumstances.
As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $673.1 million of investments in and advances to ten unconsolidated joint ventures that own an aggregate of 257 properties. The largest of these investments is our investment in the Residual Joint Venture. We have a 49% equity interest in the Residual Joint Venture. Our investment in the Residual Joint Venture is subject to the risks described above for jointly owned investments. As of December 31, 2008, this joint venture was comprised of 110 stabilized assets and three assets undergoing redevelopment.
Potential continued deterioration of investments in / advances to unconsolidated joint ventures. With the potential continued negative outlook over the US retail real estate markets and also potential decreases in risk free rates pertaining to long term debt, there is a risk of continued deterioration of the value of our investments in / advances to unconsolidated joint ventures. This may result in further impairments of the carrying value of our investments in / advances to unconsolidated joint ventures in addition to the $63.8 million impairment recorded by us that was deemed to be an other than temporary impairment for the year ended December 31, 2008.
We currently do not have any plans to undertake any additional investments in / advances to unconsolidated joint ventures other than those which we are contractually obligated to make to our current investments in / advances to unconsolidated joint ventures.
Real estate property investments are illiquid, and therefore we may not be able to dispose of properties when appropriate or on favorable terms. Real estate property investments generally cannot be disposed of quickly. Return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment generally will occur upon disposition or refinance of the underlying property. We may be unable to realize our investment objectives by sale, other disposition or refinance at attractive prices within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. In particular, these risks could arise from weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located. Recently, it has become increasingly more difficult to dispose of real estate properties due to the downturn in the U.S. economy and the limited availability of credit. Additionally, based on our currently budgeted liquidity needs, we may need to dispose of certain assets in order to fund our operations but are limited by certain of our debt agreements as to the aggregate value of the assets we may dispose of. This requirement may require us to dispose of properties on less than favorable terms. Therefore, we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms, which may adversely affect our financial position.
20
Some potential losses are not covered by insurance, so we could lose a significant portion of our investment in a property. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, rental loss and acts of terrorism insurance on all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. There are, however, certain types of losses, including lease and other contract claims, acts of war and acts of God, and, in some cases, flooding, that generally are not insured, either because such coverage is not available or is not available at commercially reasonable rates. If we experience a loss which is uninsured or which exceeds policy limits, we could lose a significant portion of the capital we have invested in the damaged property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it impractical or undesirable to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.
There can be no assurance as to future costs and the scope of coverage that may be available under insurance policies. Although we believe our properties are adequately covered by insurance, we cannot predict at this time if we will be able to obtain full coverage in the future at a reasonable cost. The costs associated with property and casualty renewals may be higher than anticipated.
We currently have variable rate debt obligations, which could be substantial in the future and may impede our operating performance and put us at a competitive disadvantage. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $487.7 million of outstanding floating rate debt not subject to any form of interest rate cap, maturing at various times up to September 1, 2011. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are presently not permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility. Furthermore, the rates on our variable rate indebtedness increase when interest rates increase. Interest rates are currently low relative to historical levels and may increase significantly in the future. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense not subject to interest rate cap, which would adversely affect cash flow and our ability to service debt.
As discussed above, we may borrow additional money with floating interest rates in the future. Increases in interest rates, or the loss of the benefits of our existing or future hedging agreements, would increase our interest expense, which would adversely affect cash flow and our ability to service our debt. Future increases in interest rates will increase our interest expense as compared to the fixed rate debt underlying our hedging agreements and could result in our making payments to unwind such agreements.
Environmental problems that exist at some of our properties could result in significant unexpected costs. We are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulations that apply generally to the ownership of real property and the operations conducted on real property. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be considered an owner or operator of real property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at a property and, therefore, may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in our property or disposed of by us, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). Such liability may be imposed whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of these hazardous or toxic substances. As is common with community and neighborhood shopping centers, many of our properties had or have on-site dry cleaners and/or on-site gasoline facilities. These operations could potentially result in environmental contamination at the properties. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly
21
remediate such substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral.
We are aware that soil and groundwater contamination exists at some of our properties. The primary contaminants of concern at these properties include perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene (associated with the operations of on-site dry cleaners) and petroleum hydrocarbons (associated with the operations of on-site gasoline facilities). We also are aware that asbestos-containing materials exist at some of our properties. While we do not expect the environmental conditions at our properties, considered as a whole, to have a material adverse effect on us, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Further, no assurance can be given that any environmental studies performed have identified or will identify all material environmental conditions, that any prior owner of the properties did not create a material environmental condition not known to us or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist with respect to any of our properties.
Further information relating to recognition of remediation obligation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is provided in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We face considerable competition in the leasing market and may be unable to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire. Through our property manager, we compete with a number of other companies in providing leases to prospective tenants and in re-letting space to current tenants upon expiration of their respective leases. If our tenants decide not to renew or extend their leases upon expiration, we may not be able to re-let the space. Even if the tenants do renew or we can re-let the space, the terms of renewal or re-letting, including the cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants, may be less favorable or more costly than current lease terms or than expectations for the space. As of December 31, 2008, leases were scheduled to expire on a total of approximately 13% of the space at our properties (excluding our pro rata share of properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures) through 2009. Our property manager may be unable to promptly renew the leases or re-let this space, or the rental rates upon renewal or re-letting may be significantly lower than expected rates.
Our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of the liquidity risk factors discussed above, specifically our reliance upon funding provided by an entity that we do not control; current prohibition upon our ability to incur further indebtedness; the existence of restrictions upon operations which increase the risk of default and cross-default of existing debt, combined with the continued liquidity issues of our ultimate parents, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The half yearly financial statements of our ultimate parents, CPL and CPT, which were lodged with Australian regulatory bodies on February 26, 2009 included discussion of significant uncertainty (equivalent to substantial doubt) about those entities ability to continue as a going concern.
We have obtained extension of our existing debt facilities, and during the period to the maturity of these facilities we will be working with management of our ultimate parent investors and our lenders to restructure and address our liquidity issues.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.
As more fully described in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on February 27, 2007, New Plan, together with the DownREIT Partnership, entered into the Merger Agreement with the Buyer Parties. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MergerSub commenced and completed the Offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of New Plan at the Offer Price.
On April 20, 2007, New Plan, together with us, MergerSub, and DownREIT Acquisition completed the Mergers. Immediately following the Merger, on April 20, 2007, and in connection with the Liquidation, (a) all of New Plan's assets were transferred to us, and we assumed all of its liabilities, (b) all outstanding shares of preferred stock of New Plan were automatically converted into, and cancelled in exchange for the right to receive cash liquidating distributions in accordance with their terms, and (c) all shares of common stock of New Plan were cancelled. As a result of the Merger and Liquidation, New Plan filed a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the SEC pursuant to which it terminated its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to its common stock and 7.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.
In connection with the Mergers, us, New Plan Realty Trust, LLC (as successor to New Plan, but only with respect to the 1999 Indenture) and the trustee under the Indentures entered into the Supplemental Indentures to the Indentures, each dated as of April 20, 2007, by and between New Plan and the Trustee. The Supplemental Indentures each provide for us to assume all of the obligations of New Plan under each of the Indentures, effective upon consummation of the Merger with respect to the notes issued under the Indentures (the "Notes").
As the successor obligor on the Notes, we intend to continue to file with the SEC any annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that we are required to file with the SEC to the extent required under the Indentures governing the Notes.
All references to "we," "us," "our," "ours," or the "Company" in this report refer to Centro NP LLC and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries and consolidated entities as of, or subsequent to, April 5, 2007, unless the context indicates otherwise. All references to our "predecessor" or "New Plan" in this report refer to New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries and consolidated entities as it existed prior to April 5, 2007, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize rental revenue on a straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as "deferred rent receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets. Certain leases provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the lessee. These percentage rents are recorded once the required sales levels are achieved. Leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance and other operating expenses. Rental income also includes lease termination fees.
We must make estimates of the uncollectability of our accounts receivables related to base rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income, because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income.
The SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104,Revenue Recognition ("SAB 104"), provides guidance on the application of GAAP to selected revenue recognition issues. We have concluded that our revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with GAAP and SAB 104.
Real Estate
Land, buildings and building and tenant improvements are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives; ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Land, buildings and building and tenant improvements that are under redevelopment, or are being developed, are carried at cost and no depreciation is recorded on these assets. Additionally, amounts essential to the development of the property, such as pre-construction costs, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development are capitalized. We cease capitalization when the property is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in any event no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity.
29
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings | 40 years | |
Building improvements | 5 to 40 years | |
Tenant improvements | The shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life |
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income. For example, if we were to lengthen the expected useful life of a particular building improvement, the improvement would be depreciated over a greater number of years, resulting in less depreciation expense and higher net income on an annual basis.
Business Combinations
In connection with our acquisition of properties, purchase costs are allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The value of the tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and building and tenant improvements, are determined as if vacant (i.e., at replacement cost). Intangible assets, including the above-market value of leases and the value of in-place leases, are recorded at their relative fair values. The below-market value of leases is recorded in Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Above-market and below-market lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease value is amortized as a reduction of, or increase to, rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of each lease plus any renewal periods with fixed rental terms that are considered to be below-market.
The total amount of other intangible assets allocated to in-place lease values is based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each lease and our overall relationship with each tenant. Factors considered in the allocation of these values include, but are not limited to, the nature of the existing relationship with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality, the expectation of lease renewals, the estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and the costs to execute similar leases. Management will also consider information obtained about a property in connection with its pre-acquisition due diligence. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, based on management's assessment of specific market conditions. Management will estimate costs required to execute leases including commissions and legal costs to the extent that such costs are not already incurred with a new lease that has been negotiated in connection with the purchase of a property. Independent appraisals and/or management's estimates will be used to determine these values.
The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term of each lease. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial terms of the leases; however, no amortization period for intangible assets will exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including market rate adjustments, lease origination costs, in-place values and tenant relationship values, will be charged as an expense.
30
Long Lived Assets
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the real estate properties may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property (taking into account the anticipated holding period of the asset) is less than the carrying value of the property. Such estimate of cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property, and reflected as an adjustment to the basis of the property.
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, we discontinue depreciating the assets and estimate the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management's opinion, the net sales price of the assets that we have identified for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. For investments accounted for under the equity method, a loss is recognized if the loss in value of the investment is other than temporary.
When we make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of our real estate properties, such assessments have a direct impact on our net income, because taking an impairment results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. We also make subjective assessment as to whether there are any other than temporary impairments on the value of our investments in / advances to unconsolidated joint ventures. Such assessments have the same impact as discussed above in relation to impairment of real estate properties.
We are required to make subjective assessment as to the terminal growth rates used and the discount rates applied as part of our impairment analysis of the goodwill balance. The analysis is also based upon management's best estimate of forecast cashflows that are expected to be derived in the future. These assessments have a direct impact on the determination of the impairment charge, and therefore our net loss. For example, if we were to increase the discount rate or decrease the terminal growth rate used, this would reduce the net present value of our estimated future cashflows and therefore increase the goodwill impairment charge.
The assumptions used in calculating our goodwill impairment charge are consistent with those assumptions applied by our ultimate parent investors, CPL and CPT, when assessing the impairment of their investment in us.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised),Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141(R)"). SFAS No. 141(R) changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer's income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for certain tax adjustments for prior business combinations. Accordingly, we will adopt this statement on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141(R).
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the
31
requirements to classify non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders' equity, and the elimination of "minority interest" accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to non-controlling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent's controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, ("SFAS No. 161") which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FAS 133 to require qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 is to be applied prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 also encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. We is currently assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on we.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("FSP FAS 142-3"). FSP FAS 142-3 removes the requirement of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142") for an entity to consider, when determining the useful life of an acquired intangible asset, whether the intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost or material modifications to the existing terms and conditions associated with the intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 replaces the previous useful-life assessment criteria with a requirement that an entity considers its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. If the entity has no relevant experience, it would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal. FSP FAS 142-3 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. We will adopt this interpretation on January 1, 2009, as required, and management is still evaluating the impact on the our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, ("EITF 03-6-1"), which classifies unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities and requires them to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are to be adjusted retrospectively. We is currently assessing the impact the adoption of EITF 03-6-1 will have on our financial position and results of operations, but note that this adoption will only impact the comparative financial information.
Any recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not mentioned in this note have been excluded as we have determined that they either are not relevant to us, or they are not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

During the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, we acquired a parcel of land immediately adjacent to a property owned by us (Land at Victory Square), the remaining 75% interest in a shopping center in which we owned the other 25% (The Centre at Preston Ridge), one land parcel and the remaining 90% interests in three of our joint ventures in which we owned the other 10% of each of the joint ventures (CA New Plan Venture Fund LLC, CA New Plan Acquisition Fund, LLC and CA New Plan Direct Investment Fund, LLC) (collectively, "Company Acquisitions"). During the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007, our predecessor acquired one shopping center (Stewart Plaza) and one land parcel (collectively, "Predecessor Acquisitions" and, together with Company Acquisitions, the "2007 Acquisitions").
In August 2007, we formed the Residual Joint Venture with Super LLC, our sole and managing member. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, we contributed 49% of our interest in certain subsidiaries, owning 18 real properties to this joint venture. We distributed the remaining 51% of our interest in the transferred entities to Super LLC, and Super LLC contributed such interest in the transferred entities to this joint venture. Following these transactions, we owned 49% of the non-managing interest in this joint venture, and Super LLC owned 51% of the managing member interest in this joint venture. In November 2007, we contributed 49% of our interest in certain additional subsidiaries, owning 25 real properties to this joint venture (together with the contribution of the 18 properties described above, the "Residual Joint Venture Transaction"). We distributed the remaining 51% of our interest in the additional transferred entities to Super LLC, and Super LLC contributed such interest in the additional transferred entities to this joint venture. Following these transactions, we continued to own 49% of the non-managing interest in this joint venture, and Super LLC continued to own 51% of the managing member interest in this joint venture.
During 2006, our predecessor acquired four shopping centers (Shoppes at Hickory Hollow, The Quentin Collection, Fox Run Mall and Memphis Commons), two buildings immediately adjacent to properties owned by our predecessor (Building at Tarpon Mall and Building at Hazel Path), the remaining 90% interests in two shopping centers in which our predecessor owned the other 10% interests (Ventura Downs and Odessa-Winwood Town Center), six land parcels, and a leasehold interest in a new development project (collectively, the "2006 Acquisitions").
In accordance with the provisions of FIN 46 and EITF 04-5 our and our predecessor's consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008, the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007, and the year ended December 31, 2006 include the results of operations of certain of our joint ventures (collectively, "Consolidation Adjustments"), as applicable.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the results of operations of properties that have been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or classified as held for sale must be classified as discontinued operations and segregated in our and our predecessor's Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Therefore, results of operations from prior periods have been restated to reflect the current pool of disposed of or held for sale assets.
Results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 (the Company), for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007 (the Company), and the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007 (the Predecessor)
Rental Revenues:
Rental income was $89.6 million for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007, $301.4 million for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and $309.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

- •
- The Residual Joint Venture Transactions, which decreased expense reimbursements by approximately $28.5 million
- •
- There were no factors that caused material changes in the expense reimbursements of the Predecessor.
Operating Expenses:
Real estate taxes were $16.7 million for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007, $46.5 million for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
- •
- The following significant factors caused material changes in the real estate taxes of the Company:
- •
- 2007 Acquisitions, which increased real estate tax expense by approximately $3.5 million
- •
- The Residual Joint Venture Transactions, which decreased real estate taxes by approximately $17.7 million
- •
- There were no factors that caused material changes in the real estate taxes of the Predecessor.
Depreciation and amortization was $25.0 million for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007 and $184.0 million for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and $197.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

- Increased depreciation expense on our real estate properties, which properties were recorded at fair value upon completion of the purchase accounting analyses by the
34
- •
- 2007 Acquisitions, which increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $9.5 million
- •
- An out of period adjustment which increased depreciation and amortization expenses by approximately $6.2 million. The out of period adjustment arose due to our failure in prior periods to write off intangible assets and below market lease liabilities relating to specific tenants (refer to Note 12 for information on the types of intangible assets) who exited prior to lease expiration. A tenant may exit a lease prior to lease expiration due to early lease termination or tenant bankruptcy. We have undertaken an assessment of the impact of the adjustment needed to account for the write off of the intangible assets discussed above and has concluded that recording the adjustment in the results for the year ended December 31, 2008 rather than prior periods is quantitatively and qualitatively not material to the current period. We have also determined that the net depreciation and amortization expense and rental income which were not recorded in the following prior period results are not quantitatively or qualitatively material to our financial statements for the period from April 5, 2007 to December 31, 2007.
- •
- The Residual Joint Venture Transactions, which decreased depreciation and amortization by approximately $49.4 million
- •

- •
- There were no factors that caused material changes in the Predecessor.
Interest expense was $26.7 million for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007 and $78.3 million for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and $100.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
- •
- The following significant factors caused material changes in the interest expense of the Company:
- •
- 2007 Acquisitions, which increased interest expense by approximately $5.7 million

- •
- Decreased financing fees, which decreased interest expense by approximately $2.4 million
Impairment Charges:
During twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges of $229.9 million over its real estate assets. These impairment charges arose due to a decrease in estimated cash flows from the properties over the estimated holding period and changes in holding period probabilities. The changes to the estimated cash flows are attributable to revisions to both the forecast sale prices and operating cash flows of the applicable properties. The changes to the holding period probabilities occurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, due to the Company identifying a number of properties that are likely to be disposed in the short term.
36
An impairment charge of $173.5 million of goodwill and other intangibles was also recorded by the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. This impairment charge was required due to the significant reduction in our and our affiliates' capital streams derived from certain property and funds management services.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges of $63.8 million in relation to its investments in Centro GA America LLC and Centro NP Residual Holding LLC. These charges are the result of an other than temporary loss in value of the Company's investments. The Company has identified that the cause of the other than temporary loss is the decrease in the fair value of the underlying real estate investments of Centro GA America LLC and Centro NP Residual Holding LLC. The decrease in fair value of the underlying real estate is attributable to an increase in market capitalization rates, which are effected by various market trends, particularly the negative economic outlook.

During the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $27.7 million over its real estate assets. This impairment charge is a result of the expected hold period applied by management in relation to our real estate assets, in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
An impairment charge of $547.6 million of goodwill and other intangibles was also recorded by the Company during the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007. This impairment charge was required due to the significant reduction in the Company's and its affiliates' forecast cash flow streams derived from certain property and funds management services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $61.5 million in available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility.
Short-Term Liquidity Needs
In addition to short-term indebtedness, our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for management fees, operating and other expenses directly associated with our portfolio of properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our outstanding debt, capital expenditures incurred to facilitate the leasing of space (e.g., tenant improvements and leasing commissions), and capital expenditures incurred in our development and redevelopment projects. During 2009, we have an aggregate of $38.5 million of mortgage debt maturities, $19.3 million of scheduled mortgage amortization payments, $9.4 million of a required loan paydown and $150.0 million of bond maturities. We have already made the required $9.4 million loan paydown. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, we undertook a tender offer to the holders of the 2009 Notes that expire in September 2009. The tender offer involves settlement of the 2009 Notes prior to the expiry date in September 2009 at a value slightly below the principal amount. For those 2009 Note holders that do participate in the tender offer, payment will be made on April 8, 2009. Further information relating to the Tender Consideration is provided at Item 1 under Recent Developments. Although we have historically met our short-term liquidity requirements with cash generated from operations and borrowings under credit facilities, we are presently unable to make draws on our Amended July 2007 Facility. Due to restrictions contained in the Amended July 2007 Facility and our Indentures, we are prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness and are limited to distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture and equity contributions from Super LLC that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. In addition, there are certain factors that may have a material adverse effect on our cash flow from operations which would further constrain our ability to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements.
Refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details relating to the total short term debt as of December 31, 2008.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from tenants under existing leases at our properties. Therefore, our operating cash flow is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge to our tenants, and the ability of these tenants to make their rental payments. We believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest—primarily community and neighborhood shopping centers—provides a more stable revenue flow in uncertain economic times because, even in difficult economic times, consumers still need to purchase basic living essentials such as food and soft goods. However, there has been a general economic downturn in the market in which we own properties which has adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make rental payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms as leases expire. In both of these instances, our cash flow has been adversely affected.
41
In some cases, we have invested as a co-venturer or partner in the development or redevelopment of new properties, instead of developing projects directly. We have also agreed to contribute our pro rata share of any additional capital that may be required by our joint ventures, which pro rata share is not expected to be material. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility, and are limited to financing any capital requirements from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture and equity contributions from Super LLC that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such obligations. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance these joint venture obligations following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
During 2008, we completed eight redevelopment projects in our Consolidated Portfolio, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on these projects, was approximately $18.6 million. In addition, we are developing outparcels of properties in our Consolidated Portfolio and during 2008, we completed one outparcel development projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on the projects, was approximately $5.6 million. Our current redevelopment pipeline in our consolidated portfolio is comprised of 13 projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on these projects, is expected to be approximately $161.4 million. Currently, there are no outparcel developments in the pipeline in our Consolidated Portfolio. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility, and are limited to financing any development and redevelopment costs from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture and equity contributions from Super LLC that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such development costs. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance further development and redevelopment in our Consolidated Portfolio following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
We also redevelop properties in our joint venture portfolios. During 2008, our joint venture portfolios completed five redevelopment project, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on the project, was approximately $18.6 million, of which our pro rata share was approximately $8.4 million. Our current joint venture redevelopment pipeline is comprised of seven projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years, is expected to be approximately $130.8 million, of which our pro rata share will be approximately $14.6 million. In addition, we also redevelop outparcels at properties in our joint venture portfolios and during 2008, our joint venture portfolios completed two outparcel development projects, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years on the project, was approximately $9.5 million, of which our pro rata share was approximately $1.9 million. Our current joint venture outparcel redevelopment pipeline is comprised of one project, the aggregate cost of which, including costs incurred in prior years, is expected to be approximately $1.1 million, of which our pro rata share will be approximately $0.6 million. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility and are limited to financing any development and redevelopment costs from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture and equity contributions from Super LLC that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such development costs. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance further development and redevelopment in our joint venture portfolios following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
42
We regularly incur significant expenditures in connection with the re-leasing of our retail space, principally in the form of tenant improvements and leasing commissions. The amounts of these expenditures can vary significantly, depending on negotiations with tenants and the willingness of tenants to pay higher base rents over the lives of the leases. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility, and are limited to financing any capital expenditures from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture and equity contributions from Super LLC that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such obligations. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to further finance these tenant improvements and leasing commissions following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility.
Due to certain covenants contained in our Amended July 2007 Facility and our Indentures, we are presently unable to incur additional indebtedness, and this restriction will limit our flexibility in restructuring our existing indebtedness (including refinancing indebtedness coming due in 2009). Presently, we are limited to financing any development and redevelopment projects from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture and equity contributions from Super LLC that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sales. We also are limited by the terms of the Residual Credit Facility as to how much we are able to borrow in connection with such development costs. If we are unable to negotiate additional capacity under the Residual Credit Facility, negotiate other liquidity facilities or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we may be unable to finance development and redevelopment costs following exhaustion of the Residual Credit Facility. In addition, due to financing constraints of our Australian parents, it is unlikely that they will be able to make additional equity contributions to alleviate any short-term liquidity issues we may encounter.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the principal amount of our long-term debt as it matures, significant non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically at our properties and redevelopment or development projects that we undertake at our properties. Until such time as we are able and permitted to put in place an appropriate liquidity facility, raise additional capital or negotiate the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we do not presently have access to the capital necessary to satisfy these long-term liquidity requirements.
Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets, our credit rating and borrowing restrictions and covenants imposed by existing lenders. In connection with our refinancing difficulties, our credit ratings are all below investment grade. Standard & Poor's current rating is CCC+; CreditWatch with developing implications. Fitch's current ratings is CCC; rating watch negative. Moody's current rating is Caa1 and under review for possible downgrade. There may be additional reductions in our ratings depending on our operating performance and our ability to refinance the Amended July 2007 Facility. As a result of these downgrades, the terms of any financings we enter into in the future, as well as our ability to secure any such financings, may be adversely affected.
Although we have obtained extensions of short-term debt to December 31, 2010 that was due to expire on January 15, 2009, we are still working to reduce the level of our long-term debt to address our liquidity issues.
We are also working on plans to restructure and/or refinance our long-term debt, including the debt that was extended to December 31, 2010. Our ability to do so is restricted by the factors listed
43
above, as well as also being impacted by the current and future condition of the credit market and also the current and future condition of the US retail real estate market.
We have selectively effected asset sales to generate cash proceeds. During 2008, we generated approximately $106.3 million in gross proceeds through the disposal of non-core and non-strategic properties and approximately $15.0 million from the disposition of certain properties and land parcels held through joint ventures. During 2007, we, and our predecessor, as applicable, generated approximately $21.9 million in gross proceeds through the disposal of non-core and non-strategic properties and approximately $8.2 million from the disposition of certain properties and land parcels held through joint ventures. Our ability to generate cash from asset sales is limited by market conditions. Our ability to sell properties in the future in order to raise cash will necessarily be limited if market conditions make such sales unattractive. Our ability to sell assets will also be restricted by certain covenants included in the Amended July 2007 Facility and Indentures.
The following table summarizes all of our known contractual cash obligations, excluding interest, to pay third parties as of December 31, 2008 (based on a calendar year, dollars in thousands):

- The limited partners of the DownREIT Partnership have a redemption right for their Class A Preferred Units which became exercisable starting April 20, 2008. Each Class A Preferred Unit is redeemable for $33.15 plus all accrued and unpaid distributions. In June 2008, twelve limited partners entered into the ERP Redemption Agreements with the DownREIT partnership with respect to the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation. On August 29, 2008, one of the limited partners party to an ERP Redemption Agreement entered into an agreement with the DownREIT Partnership revoking the redemption of its then outstanding remaining Class A Preferred Units and electing to retain such units. Additionally, on November 11, 2008, another Class A Preferred Unit Holder (separate to the previously discussed twelve limited partners that had made a redemption election) elected to redeem substantially all of its Class A Preferred Units. Such units were redeemed in exchange for the fee interest in a property. As of December 31, 2008, no other limited partners with Class A Preferred Units have made a redemption election. Such redemption election may be made at any time and we are required to make such redemption on the second to last business day of the quarter in which such election is made, provided that we receive the redemption election at least ten business days prior to such date. On January 15, 2009, we paid in full the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation using proceeds from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture and contributions from our parent that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2008, the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation is shown as a liability of "Redemption Rights" in the balance sheet.

In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility. We are presently considering what our plans will be with respect to satisfying our contractual cash obligations, the balance of which represents the amount maturing under our Amended July 2007 Facility, as well as maturing mortgages and scheduled amortization.
The following table summarizes certain terms of our existing credit agreements as of December 31, 2008 (dollars in thousands):

- We incur interest using a 30-day LIBOR rate, which was 0.4% at December 31, 2008.
- (2)
- We are presently (and were as of December 31, 2008) unable to make draws on our Amended July 2007 Facility. Under the terms of the Amended July 2007 Facility, we incur an annual facility fee of 22.5 basis points on this facility. The Amended July 2007 Facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2010. Total fees incurred in securing this extension in maturity of the facility were approximately $3.3 million.
- (3)
- We incur interest using a 30-day LIBOR rate, which was 0.4% at December 31, 2008, plus spreads ranging from 135 to 175 basis points.
In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are no longer permitted to make draws under our Amended July 2007 Facility. In addition, the Amended July 2007 Facility requires that we maintain certain financial coverage ratios and other debt covenants. These coverage ratios and debt covenants include:
- •
- Total debt to total adjusted assets of no more than 65%;
- •
- Total secured debt to total adjusted assets of no more than 40%;
- •
- Unencumbered total asset value not to be less than 100% of the aggregate principal amount of all of our outstanding unsecured debt; and
- •
- Consolidated income available for debt service of at least 1.5 times the maximum annual service charge on total debt.
As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $830.2 million of indebtedness outstanding, excluding the impact of unamortized premiums, under three indentures, having a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%. These indentures also contain covenants that require us to maintain certain financial coverage ratios.
In addition to our Amended July 2007 Facility and indentures, as of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $400.4 million of mortgage debt outstanding, excluding the impact of unamortized premiums, having a weighted average interest rate of 8.9% per annum. It should be noted that as at December 31, 2008, the Super Bridge Loan (totaling $1.9 billion) of our parent is, wholly collateralized over its 100% membership interest in the Company.
Resolution of our liquidity issues may be, in part, achieved through asset sales. If we are required to dispose of real estate assets quickly and in a manner other than normal fashion to assist with our liquidity position, it is possible that these real estate assets would be sold at an accounting loss.
45
Additionally, our ability to sell real estate assets is restricted by a loan-to-asset covenant ratio as contained in the Indentures.
In terms of potential equity investments, our ultimate parent investors are unlikely to make any equity contributions into us to assist with our liquidity position.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not believe that we currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
However, in a few cases, we have made commitments to provide funds to unconsolidated joint ventures under certain circumstances. The liabilities associated with these joint ventures do not show up as liabilities on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following is a brief summary of the unconsolidated joint venture obligations that we have as of December 31, 2008, and to which we expect to make additional capital contributions:
- •
- Centro GA America LLC. We have a 5% interest in this joint venture, which interest was acquired on August 10, 2005 in conjunction with the Galileo Transactions. Under the terms of this joint venture, we are not obligated to contribute any additional capital to the venture; however, in the event that additional capital is contributed by our joint venture partner, we have the option to contribute the amount necessary to maintain our 5% ownership interest. We anticipate making additional capital contributions from time to time to maintain our 5% ownership interest. As of December 31, 2008, the joint venture was comprised of 119 stabilized retail assets, three retail properties under redevelopment and one new development property and had loans outstanding of approximately $1.3 billion. As of December 31, 2008, the book value of our investment in Galileo America LLC was approximately $29.7 million.
- •
- NP / I&G Institutional Retail Company II, LLC. In February 2006, our predecessor formed a second strategic joint venture with JP Morgan Investment Management Inc. to acquire high-quality institutional grade community and neighborhood shopping centers on a nationwide basis. Under the terms of this joint venture, we have a 20% interest in the venture and have committed to contribute our pro rata share of any capital required by the venture for asset acquisitions. As of December 31, 2008, we had contributed approximately $14.7 million. Additionally, we have agreed to contribute our pro rata share of any additional capital that might be required by the joint venture; however, we do not expect that any significant additional capital contributions will be required. As of December 31, 2008, the joint venture owned three stabilized retail properties. The joint venture had loans outstanding of approximately $46.8 million as of December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the book value of our investment in NP / I&G Institutional Retail Company II, LLC was approximately $11.0 million.
- •
- NPK Redevelopment I, LLC. We have a joint venture with Kmart Corporation (Sears Holding Corp.) pursuant to which the joint venture will redevelop three Kmart Supercenter properties formerly owned by Kmart. Under the terms of this joint venture, we have agreed to contribute $6.0 million which had been fully contributed as of December 31, 2008. We will have a 20% interest in the venture and are responsible for contributing our pro rata share of any additional capital that might be required by the joint venture; during the year ended December 31, 2008, we contributed $1.1 million which entitled 10% per annum preferred return compounded monthly. However, we do not expect that any significant capital contributions will be required. The joint venture had no loans outstanding as of December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008,
46
the book value of our investment in NPK Redevelopment I, LLC was approximately $11.5 million.
In addition, the following is a brief summary of the other unconsolidated joint venture obligations that we have as of December 31, 2008. Although we have agreed to contribute certain amounts of capital that may be required by these joint ventures, as more fully described below, we do not expect that any significant capital contributions to the following joint ventures will be required.
- •
- Arapahoe Crossings, L.P. We, together with a U.S. partnership comprised substantially of foreign investors, have an interest in a joint venture which owns Arapahoe Crossings, a community shopping center located in Aurora, Colorado. Under the terms of this joint venture, we have a 30% interest and we have agreed to contribute our pro rata share of any capital that might be required by the joint venture. The joint venture had loans outstanding of approximately $46.2 million as of December 31, 2008.

- The Residual Joint Venture. In August 2007, we formed the Residual Joint Venture with Super LLC, our sole and managing member. In connection with the formation of the Residual Joint Venture and with subsequent contributions, we have contributed 49% of our interest in certain subsidiaries, owning 74 real properties with an approximate value of $1.8 billion, to the Residual Joint Venture. We distributed the remaining 51% of our interest in the transferred entities to Super LLC, and Super LLC contributed such interest in the transferred entities to the Residual Joint Venture. Following these transactions, we owned 49% of the non-managing interest in the Residual Joint Venture, and Super LLC owned 51% of the managing member interest in the Residual Joint Venture. Also in November 2007, Super LLC contributed its interest in certain subsidiaries, owning 39 real properties with an approximate value of $385.0 million, to the Residual Joint Venture. Immediately following such contribution, Super LLC contributed a percentage of membership interests in the Residual Joint Venture such that we continued to own 49% of the non-managing interest in the Residual Joint Venture, and Super LLC continued to own 51% of the managing member interest in the Residual Joint Venture. The Residual Joint Venture has executed certain guarantees in favors of certain of our indebtedness and of Super LLC. The Residual Joint Venture owned 114 stabilized retail properties as of December 31, 2008. Under the terms of the Residual Joint Venture, we are not obligated to contribute any additional capital to the Residual Joint Venture.

As of December 31, 2008, the book value of our investment in NP/SSP Baybrook, LLC was approximately $2.5 million.

- Westgate Mall, LLC. We, together with Transwestern Investment Company and The Richard E. Jacobs Group, have an interest in a joint venture that was formed for the specific purpose of acquiring and redeveloping Westgate Mall, an enclosed mall located on 55 acres of land in Fairview Park, Ohio. The joint venture is currently redeveloping the mall into a large community shopping center. Under the terms of this joint venture, we have a 10% interest in the venture and have agreed to contribute our pro rata share of any capital that might be required by the joint venture. The joint venture had loans outstanding of approximately $65.8 million as of December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the book value of our investment in Westgate Mall, LLC was approximately $1.1 million.
retail properties and one retail property under redevelopment as of December 31, 2008. Under the terms of this joint venture, we have a 20% interest in the venture and are responsible for contributing our pro rata share of any capital that might be required by the joint venture. Our predecessor initially committed to contribute up to a maximum amount of $30.0 million to the joint venture, however, in connection with the acquisition of certain assets during 2005, our predecessor, together with the DownREIT Partnership, contributed a disproportionate share of capital to the venture, such that our predecessor's total capital investment as of December 31, 2005 was $41.4 million. The excess contribution was returned to our predecessor in February 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of certain other assets, our predecessor increased our committed capital to the venture to $31.9 million, of which approximately $28.2 million had been contributed as of December 31, 2008. We do not expect that any significant additional capital contributions will be required, nor do we expect that any additional acquisitions of property will be made by the joint venture. The joint venture had loans outstanding of approximately $239.1 million as of December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the book value of our investment in NP/I&G Institutional Retail Company, LLC was approximately $33.0 million.
Other Funding Obligations
In addition to the joint venture obligations described above, we also had the following contingent contractual obligations as of December 31, 2008, none of which we believe will materially adversely affect us:
- •
- Letters of Credit. We have arranged for the provision of 7 separate letters of credit in connection with certain property or insurance related matters. If these letters of credit are drawn, we will be obligated to reimburse the providing bank for the amount of the draw. As of December 31, 2008, there was no balance outstanding under any of the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be approximately $12.5 million. The expiration of these letters of credit may be automatically extended pursuant to the terms of the Amended July 2007 Facility and Bank of America, as the issuing bank under these letters of credit, has agreed not to prevent the automatic extension of such letters of credit.
48
- •
- Non-Recourse and Other Debt Guarantees. Under certain of our non-recourse loans and those of our joint ventures, we could, under certain circumstances, be responsible for portions of the mortgage indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve out provisions such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. As of December 31, 2008, we had mortgage and term loans outstanding of approximately $573.5 million, excluding the impact of unamortized premiums, and our unconsolidated joint ventures had mortgage loans outstanding of approximately $3.0 billion. In addition, we have guaranteed certain construction and other obligations relative to certain joint venture development projects; however we do not expect that our obligations under such guarantees will be material if called upon.
- •
- Leasing Commitments. We have entered into leases, as lessee, in connection with ground leases for shopping centers which we operate and our administrative office space. These leases are accounted for as operating leases. The minimum annual rental commitments for these leases during the next five fiscal years and thereafter are approximately as follows (dollars in thousands):

- Redemption Rights. The DownREIT Partnership has entered into the ERP Redemption Agreements in June 2008 with twelve limited partners with respect to the redemption of each limited partner's outstanding Class A Preferred Units for an aggregate amount of $44.9 million of which $9.4 million remained outstanding as of December 31, 2008 (the "DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation"). On August 29, 2008, one of the limited partners party to an ERP Redemption Agreement entered into an agreement with the DownREIT Partnership revoking the redemption of its remaining Class A Preferred Units and electing to retain such units. On September 12, 2008, November 25, 2008 and December 12, 2008, the DownREIT Partnership entered into amendments to the ERP Redemption Agreements with the remaining eleven limited partners which provided for, among other things, an extension of the redemption date of the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation to January 15, 2009. Additionally, on November 11, 2008, another Class A Preferred Unit Holder (separate to the previously discussed twelve limited partners that had made a redemption election) elected to redeem substantially all of its Class A Preferred Units. Such units were redeemed in exchange for the fee interest in a property. As of December 31, 2008, no other limited partners with Class A Preferred Units have made a redemption election. Such redemption election may be made at any time and we are required to make such redemption on the second to last business day of the quarter in which such election is made, provided that we receive the redemption election at least ten business days prior to such date.
On January 15, 2009, we paid in full the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation using proceeds from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility.
We are not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of its business. However, we are involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is believed to be material in light of our reserves for such matters. In connection with a specific tenant litigation, and based upon certain rulings occurring during the third quarter of 2005, we
49
maintain an aggregate reserve of approximately $4.5 million as of December 31, 2008. Given the increase in the reserve previously taken by our predecessor, and the current status of the tenant litigation, we believe that any loss in excess of the established reserve would be immaterial.
For a discussion of other factors which may adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources, please see the section titled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Description of Amended July 2007 Facility
The Amended July 2007 Facility is a $350.0 million revolving credit facility. On January 15, 2009, we entered into the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility modifying certain terms and conditions of the Amended July 2007 Facility, and superseding the terms and conditions set forth in letter agreements entered into by us with Bank of America, as administrative agent, on February 14, 2008, March 28, 2008, May 7, 2008, May 30, 2008, September 26, 2008, and the December 2008 Facility Extension Agreement. Following the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, the Amended July 2007 Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2010. As of January 15, 2009, we had an aggregate of $306.5 million borrowing outstanding under the Amended July 2007 Facility. Borrowings under the Amended July 2007 Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, LIBOR or the prime rate, plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. To comply with our agreement to pay interest on the Amended July 2007 Facility at the same rate as applied to the Prior Super Bridge Loan, we agreed to pay interest on the outstanding balance that accrued during the period from December 16, 2007 through February 14, 2008 at a rate equal to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 1.75% less the applicable margin in effect immediately prior to the amendment entered into on February 14, 2008. In addition to the interest that accrues and is paid currently, upon the occurrence of an event of default, additional interest would accrue from May 7, 2008 at a rate of 5.5%, thereby increasing the total interest rate to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 7.25%. This additional interest becomes due and payable only upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Amended July 2007 Facility. For illustrative purposes only, if such event of default had arisen as of December 31, 2008, total additional interest to be accrued would be approximately $11.3 million. No such event of default has occurred, therefore interest continues to accrue at LIBOR or the prime rate plus 1.75%.
Additionally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, interest on the balance accrues at a rate equal to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 11.25% (an increase of 4%). The new default interest rate provided under the Amended July 2007 Facility is applicable from the date of such event of default. No further borrowings under the Amended July 2007 Facility are permitted and any amounts repaid or prepaid prior to the maturity date may not be reborrowed.
The Amended July 2007 Facility is secured with assets held by us, as well as by certain assets held by the Residual Joint Venture.
Additionally, the loans and other obligations under the Amended July 2007 Facility are required to be paid, and the commitments will be reduced accordingly, upon the receipt by us of net proceeds from the disposition of certain properties. Net proceeds in respect of certain casualty and condemnation events affecting certain properties are required to be applied towards the prepayment of the loans as well. Except under certain limited circumstances, we are prohibited from selling or transferring property, making equity issuances or making payments of cash or other property with respect to indebtedness without lender consent. The requirement that we manage at least 90% of our properties was revised to permit the Management Joint Venture or one of its indirect or direct subsidiaries to also act as manager of such properties.
CPT and CPL agreed under the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility to take and avoid taking certain actions with respect to us, such as (i) entering into any agreement that limits our flexibility, or grants lender consent rights, with respect to the sale of our assets, (ii) obtaining guaranties from us with respect to parent debt, (iii) pledging any of our assets in favor of their creditors, and
50
(iv) permitting us to transfer assets to CPT and CPL. A breach of such covenants was made an event of default under the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility. The Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility also releases the parent Company guaranty under that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated July 31, 2007, by and among CPT and CPL as guarantors in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.
As part of the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility which was executed on January 15, 2009, we agreed to put in place an interest rate cap with respect to the debt under the Amended July 2007 Facility. The strike rate of the interest rate cap is 2.6%.
There are 7 separate letters of credit outstanding under the Amended July 2007 Facility in connection with certain property or insurance related matters. As of December 31, 2008, there was no balance outstanding under any of the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be approximately $12.5 million. The expiration of these letters of credit may be automatically extended pursuant to the terms of the Amended July 2007 Facility and Bank of America, as the issuing bank under these letters of credit, has agreed not to prevent the automatic extension of such letters of credit.
The Amended July 2007 Facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among others, mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events. Under the Amended July 2007 Facility, we are also subject to compliance with certain covenants substantially similar to those contained in our Indentures relating to the public notes. These covenants include: (i) total debt to total adjusted assets of no more than 65%; (ii) total secured debt to total adjusted assets of no more than 40%; (iii) unencumbered total asset value not to be less than 100% of the aggregate principal amount of all of our outstanding unsecured debt and that of our subsidiaries; and (iv) consolidated income available for debt service of at least 1.5 times the maximum annual service charge on total debt.
The Amended July 2007 Facility contains customary defaults, including, among others: the nonpayment of interest or principal of any loan; failure to comply with restrictions on use of proceeds; failure to observe or perform covenants under any loan document, including the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility; bankruptcy or insolvency; certain judgments and decrees; change of control; defaults under the Super Bridge Loan, Residual Credit Facility and Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility; and defaults under any existing credit facility of us, our subsidiaries and certain of our affiliates in excess of $10 million.
Amounts outstanding under the Amended July 2007 Facility are guaranteed pursuant to an Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement dated July 31, 2007, by and among certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors in favor of the administrative agent and the Guaranty, dated as of March 28, 2008, from certain subsidiaries of Centro NP Residual Holding LLC in favor of the administrative agent.
Description of Residual Credit Facility
The Residual Credit Facility is a $370.0 million credit facility entered into by certain subsidiaries of the Residual Joint Venture (the "Residual Credit Facility Borrowers") on January 15, 2009. The Residual Credit Facility is collateralized by properties owned by the Residual Credit Facility Borrowers and certain other subsidiaries of the Residual Joint Venture and has a maturity date of December 31, 2010. The Residual Credit Facility is guaranteed by Super LLC, the Residual Joint Venture, Centro NP Residual Holding Sub 1, LLC, a subsidiary of the Residual Joint Venture and the 100% owner of each of the borrowers under the Residual Credit Facility, and certain other subsidiaries of the Residual Joint Venture. An initial draw on the Residual Credit Facility in the amount of approximately $150.0 million was used for the repayment of a portion of the Super Bridge Loan, the payment of the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation and the payment of the Secured Term Loan Payments. The
51
remaining proceeds of the Residual Credit Facility may be used for development and redevelopment of certain properties, the payment of certain maturing debt and general corporate cash needs. However, we do not control the Residual Joint Venture and cannot cause the Residual Joint Venture to make a draw under the Residual Credit Facility or distribute the proceeds therefrom.
Borrowings under the Residual Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, the prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75%. Additionally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, interest on the outstanding balance accrues at a rate equal to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 7.75%, not to exceed the maximum nonusurious interest rate under the laws of the state of New York. The Residual Credit Facility is not a revolving credit facility and any amounts repaid or prepaid prior to the maturity date may not be reborrowed.
Additionally, mandatory draws of the Residual Credit Facility and the distribution of such proceeds up to Super LLC are required to repay loans and other obligations under the Super Bridge Loan, and the commitments will be reduced accordingly, upon the receipt by Super LLC or its subsidiaries of net proceeds from the disposition of certain properties. The Residual Credit Facility Borrowers are prohibited from selling or transferring any properties owned by the Residual Credit Facility Borrowers without lender consent.
The Residual Credit Facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among others, mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events. Under the Residual Credit Facility, we are also subject to compliance with certain covenants, which include: (i) consolidated EBITDA to consolidated total debt of no less than 9.3%; and (ii) consolidated EBITDA to consolidated total interest expense of no less than 1.47 to 1.00.
The Residual Credit Facility contains customary defaults, including, among others: the nonpayment of interest or principal of the loan; failure to comply with restrictions on use of proceeds; failure to observe or perform covenants including the financial covenants described above; bankruptcy or insolvency; certain judgments and decrees; change of control; and defaults under the Super Bridge Loan and Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility.
Inflation
The majority of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions contain clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents, which generally increase as prices rise but may be adversely impacted by tenant sales decreases, and/or escalation clauses which are typically related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, we believe that many of our existing lease rates are below current market levels for comparable space and that upon renewal or re-rental such rates may be increased to be consistent with, or get closer to, current market rates. This belief is based upon an analysis of relevant market conditions, including a comparison of comparable market rental rates, discussions with our property manager, and upon the fact that many of our leases have been in place for a number of years and may not contain escalation clauses sufficient to match the increase in market rental rates over such time. Most of our leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, we periodically evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and may enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on our floating rate loans.
In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-qualitative. Such risks principally include credit risks and legal risks.
52
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $8.2 million of outstanding floating rate mortgages. We also had approximately $306.5 million outstanding under our floating rate Amended July 2007 Facility and $173.1 million outstanding under floating rate secured term loans. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our floating rate debt is material as of December 31, 2008, in relation to our approximately $1.8 billion of outstanding total debt and our approximately $4.2 billion of total assets as of that date. This assessment may change depending upon changes in market floating interest rates in the short term.
We had two reverse arrears swap agreements. The reverse arrears swap agreements effectively convert the interest rate on $65.0 million of the Company's debt from a fixed rate to a blended floating rate of 30 basis points over the six-month LIBOR rate. The two reverse arrears swap agreements terminate on February 1, 2011. Both of these swaps were cash settled on August 6, 2008 for approximately $0.4 million. As of December 31, 2008, we did not hold any derivative financial instruments.
Hedging agreements may expose us to the risk that the counterparties to these agreements may not perform, which could increase our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. Generally, the counterparties to hedging agreements that we enter into are major financial institutions. We may borrow additional money with floating interest rates in the future. Increases in interest rates, or the loss of the benefit of existing or future hedging agreements, would increase our expense, which would adversely affect cash flow and our ability to service our debt. Future increases in interest rates will increase our interest expense as compared to the fixed rate debt underlying our hedging agreements and we could be required to make payments to unwind such agreements.
If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase by 1%, the increase in annual interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.9 million. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt decrease by 1%, the decrease in interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.9 million. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our variable rate debt remains at approximately $487.7 million, the balance as of December 31, 2008. If market rates of interest increase by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $124.6 million. If market rates of interest decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $268.9 million. This assumes that our total debt outstanding remains at approximately $1.8 billion, the balance as of December 31, 2008.
As of December 31, 2008, we had no material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. In addition to the other factors which may constrain our ability to refinance our short-term debt obligations addressed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our ability to refinance such obligations may be further constrained as a result of recent dislocations in the global credit markets.

DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS BY SECURITYHOLDERS
Prior to the Merger and Liquidation, New Plan maintained a corporate governance and nominating committee that, among other things, considered all persons recommended by New Plan's stockholders in the same manner as all other director candidates and established procedures by which interested stockholders who wished to submit qualified candidates could do so. We are not required to and do not maintain such a committee or such procedures due to the fact that we are wholly owned by Super LLC and do not have a board of directors.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As noted above, we assumed all of New Plan's assets and liabilities on April 20, 2007. Prior to that date, we did not conduct any business. Information included in this Item 11 relates to the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as identified in the Summary Compensation Table below, for services they performed from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
56
Beginning April 20, 2007 and throughout 2008, each of our named executive officers who had previously been employed by our predecessor became employed by the Management Joint Venture which is indirectly controlled by CPL. Each of our named executive officers serves as an officer of both us and the Management Joint Venture, but we do not have any employees.
Each of our named executive officers was, throughout 2008, paid by the Management Joint Venture. All compensation objectives, policies and decisions made with respect to the amounts or forms of compensation paid to our named executive officers were and are made by the Management Joint Venture. We do not participate in this decision-making process, but merely pay management fees to the Management Joint Venture which then uses a portion of such fees, together with fees collected from other properties managed by the Management Joint Venture, to pay the salaries of and otherwise compensate our named executive officers and its other employees.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Executive Compensation
The following tables contain compensation information of our named executive officers for the period beginning on April 20, 2007 and ending December 31, 2008. Such compensation relates to all services rendered by the officers for the Management Joint Venture and us, and thus does not reflect, and we are not able to apportion, compensation paid to the officers solely for services provided to us.

- Amounts represent discretionary cash bonuses that were paid to each named executive officer in July 2007, as well as Retention Bonuses (as defined under "Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Our Executive Officers" below) that were paid to each named executive officer (other than Mr. Braddon) in July 2007 in consideration of entering into such named executive officer's employment agreement.

- (5)
- For Mr. Rufrano, All Other Compensation includes an equity incentive compensation award granted by Centro Properties Group pursuant to the terms of Mr. Rufrano's 2008 employment agreement. This award represent grants of stock options in Centro Properties Group, an Australian publicly traded company. We do not, and will not, have any equity awards outstanding and thus we do not recognize any compensation expense for these awards in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R") in our financial statements. We have, however, included this award in the All Other Compensation column because we believe it has been granted, at least in part, as consideration for the services provided to us by Mr. Rufrano. The value of the award granted is $38,192. The number of options granted is used to determine the value of the award based on (i) an assumed value of such options as of the grant date, (ii) a binomial tree valuation methodology and (iii) the 2008 average exchange rate as published by the Reserve Bank of Australia for A$:US$ of 0.8525. The value also assumes the satisfaction of all time-based vesting requirements, as described in the footnotes to the
58
"Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table" below. For the number of options granted to Mr. Rufrano, see the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table and Outstanding Equity at Fiscal Year-End Table below. For Mr. Rufrano, All Other Compensation also includes $600 for a life insurance premium and $6,900 in 401(k) contributions. In the case of Mr. Braddon, All Other Compensation includes imputed interest (imputed at the rate of 4.92%) in the amount of $58,942 attributable to the balance of an outstanding loan from Centro Properties Group as of December 31, 2008, $182,828 in the form of a housing allowance provided by the Management Joint Venture, $11,500 for an automobile allowance, and $413 for a life insurance premium. In the case of Mr. Moss, All Other Compensation includes imputed interest (imputed at the rate of 3.62%) in the amount of $23,187 attributable to the balance of an outstanding loan from the Management Joint Venture as of December 31, 2008, $412 for a life insurance premium and $6,900 for 401(k) contributions.
- (6)
- For Messrs. Rufrano, Carroll and Siegel, All Other Compensation includes an equity incentive compensation award granted to each of the named executive officers by the Management Joint Venture pursuant to the terms of each named executive officer's employment agreement. These awards represent grants of stock options and restricted shares in Centro Properties Group, an Australian publicly traded company. We do not, and will not, have any equity awards outstanding and thus we do not recognize any compensation expense for these awards in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R") in our financial statements. We have, however, included these awards in the All Other Compensation column because we believe they have been granted, at least in part, as consideration for the services provided to us by our named executive officers. The value of the awards granted are as follows: Mr. Rufrano—$2,000,000; Mr. Carroll—$800,000; and Mr. Siegel—$630,000. The dollar value of these awards was then used to determine the number of stock options and restricted shares subject to each award based on (i) in the case of stock options, an assumed value of such options as of the grant date, based on a Monte Carlo Simulation with respect to performance-based vesting options, or a binomial tree valuation methodology with respect to time-based vesting options, (ii) in the case of restricted shares, the average price of the Centro Properties Group's common shares on the Australian Securities Exchange that were acquired by a financial broker for the purpose of granting these awards, measured over the number of days required by such financial broker to acquire the shares, and (iii) in the case of stock options and restricted shares, the May 2007 average exchange rate as published by the Reserve Bank of Australia for A$:US$ of 1.2118. The value also assumes the satisfaction of all time- and performance-based vesting requirements. The closing trading price of A$0.076 per share of Centro Properties Group common stock on the Australian Securities Exchange on December 31, 2008 is less than the option exercise prices of A$8.1523 for Messrs. Rufrano, Siegel and Carroll. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2008, the value of these awards to the executives was nominal. For more information regarding the options and restricted shares granted to each named executive officer, see the Outstanding Equity at Fiscal Year-End Table below. In the case of Mr. Braddon, All Other Compensation includes (i) the value of a nonrecourse interest-free loan in the amount of $858,178 provided to Mr. Braddon by Centro Properties Group, determined as the amount required to enable Mr. Braddon to purchase 125,000 shares of stock of Centro Properties Group (which was calculated using an average 2007 exchange rate for A$:US$ of 1.20 and the loan amount of A$1,029,813), (ii) $101,900 in the form of a housing allowance provided by the Management Joint Venture, and (iii) imputed interest (imputed at the rate of 4.92% which is a blended applicable federal rate published by the Internal Revenue Service) in the amount of $57,445, attributable to the balance of Mr. Braddon's outstanding loans as of December 31, 2007, which includes the interest-free nonrecourse loan described under (i) above.

Employment Agreements with Our Executive Officers
We are not a party to any employment or similar agreement with our named executive officers. In July 2007, the Management Joint Venture entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Rufrano, Carroll, Siegel and Brumberg and also amended the terms of Mr. Braddon's employment agreement. In December 2007, the Management Joint Venture entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Moss. In March 2008, Centro WCJV LP Inc. entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Rufrano which replaced his previous employment agreement with the Management Joint Venture. The principal terms of each of these agreements are summarized below, except with respect to potential payments and other benefits upon certain terminations or a change in control of the Management Joint Venture or Centro Properties Group, which are summarized below under "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control".
Rufrano, Carroll and Siegel Employment Agreements
The Management Joint Venture's employment agreement with Messrs. Rufrano, Carroll and Siegel contains substantially similar terms (other than compensation amounts) and is summarized below. Mr. Rufrano's employment agreement with the Management Joint Venture was terminated when he entered into a new 2008 employment agreement with Centro WCJV LP, Inc. on March 26, 2008 (summarized below). However, Mr. Rufrano's employment agreement with the Management Joint Venture is described below because portions of his cash compensation was paid pursuant to his old employment agreement until he entered into the 2008 agreement. Other compensation-related provisions of the old agreement were waived upon the execution of the 2008 agreement.
Each of Messrs. Carroll and Siegel's employment agreement provides for a term ending on July 23, 2008, and extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless either the Management Joint Venture or the executive elects not to extend the term. Under the employment agreement, each named executive officer received two cash bonuses. First, he received a bonus covering the period from when he commenced employment under the employment agreement through June 30, 2007 (the fiscal year end of Centro Properties Group). In addition, he received a bonus payment in consideration of entering into the employment agreement (the "Retention Bonus"), 50% of which was paid to him in July 2007, and 50% of which is payable to him on April 20, 2009; provided, that his employment is not terminated by the Management Joint Venture for cause, or by him without good reason, prior to such date. The amounts of such bonuses are included in the "Bonus" column of the Summary Compensation Table set forth above.
Under Mr. Rufrano's employment agreement with the Management Joint Venture, the named executive officer also received two cash bonuses. First, he received a bonus covering the period from when he commenced employment under the employment agreement through June 30, 2007. In addition, he received a Retention Bonus, 50% of which was paid to him in July 2007. The second installment of Mr. Rufrano's Retention Bonus that was payable pursuant to this employment agreement was paid to him in 2008 by Centro WCJV LP Inc. as consideration for his entering into the 2008 employment agreement with Centro WCJV LP Inc. (summarized below). The amounts of such bonuses are included in the "Bonus" column of the Summary Compensation Table set forth above.
Under the employment agreement, each named executive officer also will be eligible to receive short-term incentive bonuses based on the achievement of certain financial goals for the years ending June 30, 2008 and beyond, as determined by the Management Joint Venture. These goals relate to the overall financial performance of Centro Properties Group's real estate operations, which include operations of entities in addition to us. If these goals are achieved, each executive may receive a short-term incentive cash bonus equal to a percentage of his base salary (60 - 85% of base salary with respect to Mr. Siegel, 70 - 100% of base salary with respect to Mr. Carroll and 100 - 150% of base
60
salary with respect to Mr. Rufrano). Each named executive officer also will be entitled to receive certain long-term incentive awards, including stock options and restricted shares, from time to time. Each named executive officer also will be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other Management Joint Venture senior executives generally.
2008 Rufrano Employment Agreement
Mr. Rufrano entered into an employment agreement with Centro WCJV LP Inc. on March 26, 2008, under which he serves as Chief Executive Officer of Centro Properties Group. By executing the agreement, Mr. Rufrano agreed to terminate and waive all rights under his previous employment agreement with the Management Joint Venture. The 2008 agreement provides for a one year term beginning on January 15, 2008, unless terminated earlier according to the agreement, and may continue for a longer period of time with substantially similar terms unless or until a new agreement is reached between the parties. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Rufrano is eligible to receive a short-term incentive bonus equal to 150% of his annual base salary of $1,200,000, upon the occurrence of certain events including a change in control or recapitalization of Centro Properties Group or at the discretion of the board of directors of CPL. For fiscal year 2007/2008 he will be granted options to purchase 1,000,000 shares in Centro Properties Group securities. Additionally, the employment agreement provides that Mr. Rufrano remained entitled to the second payment of his Retention Bonus, as provided in his previous employment agreement with the Management Joint Venture, which was paid as a lump sum of $1,500,000 in 2008 as consideration for his entering into the new agreement. The employment agreement also provides for relocation assistance and a living away from home allowance. While in the United States, Mr. Rufrano will be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other Centro WCJV LP, Inc. senior executives generally. Mr. Rufrano will be provided with private health insurance coverage for he and his immediate family during their time in Australia. Effective February 27, 2009, Mr. Rufrano relinquished his position as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, in connection with renewing his term as Chief Executive Officer of Centro Properties Group. The terms of his most recent employment agreement under which he will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Centro Properties Group have not been finalized.
Moss and Brumberg Employment Agreements
The Management Joint Venture's employment agreements with Messrs. Moss and Brumberg contain similar terms and are summarized below. The employment agreements provide for terms ending on December 5, 2008 with respect to Mr. Moss and July 30, 2008 with respect to Mr. Brumberg, and extend automatically for additional one-year periods unless either the Management Joint Venture or the executive elects not to extend the term. Mr. Brumberg received a bonus payment of $985,000 in consideration of entering into the employment agreement (the "Retention Bonus"), 50% of which was paid to him in July 2007 and 50% of which was paid to him in April 2008 (and which also is included in the "Bonus" column of the Summary Compensation Table set forth above). Under Mr. Moss' employment agreement, the Management Joint Venture shall provide him with an interest-free loan of $1,000,000 to assist with the costs of acquiring a new residence. Sixty percent of the loan balance then outstanding shall be forgiven if Mr. Moss is still employed on the third anniversary of the loan and the remaining balance shall be forgiven on the fifth anniversary of the loan if Mr. Moss is still employed by the Management Joint Venture at such time. If prior to the third anniversary of the loan, Mr. Moss' employment is terminated by the Management Joint Venture without cause or by Mr. Moss for good reason, then $600,000 of the loan balance shall be forgiven and Mr. Moss shall have one year to repay the remaining $400,000. If after the third anniversary, but prior to the fifth anniversary of the loan, Mr. Moss' employment is terminated by the Management Joint Venture without cause or by Mr. Moss for good reason then the remaining balance of the loan then outstanding shall be forgiven.
61
Under the employment agreements, both Messrs. Moss and Brumberg also will be eligible to receive short-term incentive bonuses based on the achievement of certain financial goals for the years ending June 30, 2008 and beyond, as determined by the Management Joint Venture. These goals relate to the overall financial performance of Centro Properties Group's real estate operations, which include operations of entities in addition to us. If these goals are achieved, the executives may receive a short-term incentive cash bonus equal to 30-42.5% of base salary with respect to Mr. Moss and 25-37.5% of base salary with respect to Mr. Brumberg. Messrs. Moss and Brumberg also will be entitled to receive certain long-term incentive awards, including stock options and restricted shares, from time to time. They will be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other Management Joint Venture senior executives generally. Effective October 31, 2008, Mr. Brumberg is no longer an officer of the Company nor an employee of the Management Joint Venture.
Braddon Employment Agreement
Mr. Braddon maintains an employment agreement with CPT Custodian Pty Limited (as trustee for Centro Management Services Trust and a member of the Centro Properties Group), under which he is seconded to the Management Joint Venture. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement with Mr. Braddon, his base salary is reviewed annually, and his target and maximum bonuses are 25% and 50%, respectively, each of which bonus is subject to a market and position allowance. As of July 1, 2007, Mr. Braddon is eligible to receive a further bonus up to a maximum of 35% of his base salary, plus a market and position allowance, assessed against the achievement of certain targets. Mr. Braddon is also eligible to participate in the Centro Employee Share Plan.

The amount payable to or realized by each named executive officer may vary depending on the nature of the termination, whether as a result of termination by the Management Joint Venture without "cause" or by the executive for "good reason" (which except for Mr. Rufrano, is defined to include a "change in control" of Centro Properties Group, the Management Joint Venture or Centro US), or in the event of death or disability of the executive. Except with respect to Messrs. Rufrano and Braddon, in the event the executive becomes disabled or his employment terminates during the term, any payments or benefits to which he is entitled under his employment agreement is subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. For purposes of quantifying the value of continued insurance coverage benefits presented in the disclosure below, we have estimated a value of such insurance benefits based on the amount the Management Joint Venture would pay under COBRA for insurance coverage on behalf of the named executive officer over the applicable time period.
For purposes of the employment agreements for Messrs. Rufrano, Siegel, Carroll, Moss and Brumberg, "cause" is defined as follows:
Cause generally means:
(i) conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony;
(ii) willful and continued failure to use reasonable best efforts to substantially perform his duties under the employment agreement (other than such failure resulting from the executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness or subsequent to the issuance of a notice of termination by the executive for good reason) after notice of such failure is provided to the executive; or
64
(iii) willful misconduct that has a materially adverse effect on the Management Joint Venture or to any affiliate thereof.
For purposes of the employment agreements for Messrs. Siegel, Carroll, Moss and Brumberg, "good reason" is defined as follows:
Good reason generally means:
(i) the assignment to the executive of duties materially and adversely inconsistent with the executive's status or a material and adverse alteration in the nature of his duties and/or responsibilities, reporting obligations, titles or authority;
(ii) a reduction in the executive's base salary, short-term incentive-bonus range, or a failure to pay any such amounts when due;
(iii) a failure by the Management Joint Venture to make certain payments or provide any material employee benefits as described in the employment agreement;
(iv) the relocation of the executive's own office location to a location that is more than 50 miles from New York, New York;
(v) termination of the executive's employment for cause, not effected pursuant to the employment agreement;
(vi) the Management Joint Venture's failure to provide the indemnification set forth in the employment agreement, or to require any successor to assume the employment agreement;
(vii) a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement); or
(viii) notice by the Management Joint Venture to the executive indicating that it has elected not to renew or extend the term of employment.
For purposes of the employment agreement for Mr. Rufrano, "good reason" is defined as follows:
Good reason generally means, without the executive's consent:
(i) the executive ceases to be the most senior executive in Centro Properties Group or he experiences a substantial diminution in responsibilities or authority;
(ii) an administrator is appointed over all or substantially all of the assets and undertakings of Centro Properties Group, a liquidator or administrator is appointed to Centro Properties Limited, Centro Properties Trust or Centro Retail Trust, or a resolution is passed for the winding up or dissolution of Centro Properties Limited, Centro Properties Trust or Centro Retail Trust, except for the purpose of an amalgamation or reconstruction which has the Centro Properties Group's consent;
(iii) a reduction in the executive's annual salary or a failure to pay any such amounts when due;
(iv) a failure to pay the retention bonus, the indemnification, or any material employee benefit as provided in the employment agreement;
(v) any termination of the executive's employment for cause which is not effected pursuant to the terms of the agreement;
(vi) a reduction in the percentage of the short term incentive as provided for in the employment agreement; or
65
(vii) a failure by Centro WCJV LP Inc or the board of directors of Centro Properties Limited to accept the executive in an option plan offered by Centro WCJV LP Inc or a failure to provide written documentation evidencing the grant of the options consistent with such option plan.
For purposes of calculating the amounts below that relate to the full vesting of all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards, we based such calculations on the closing trading price of A$0.076 per share of Centro Properties Group common stock on the Australian Securities Exchange on December 31, 2008 and an average 2008 exchange rate for A$:US$ of 0.8525.
Glenn J. Rufrano. If Mr. Rufrano's employment is terminated by Centro WCJV LP, Inc. or by Mr. Rufrano at the end of the term or by Mr. Rufrano for good reason, then pursuant to the terms of Mr. Rufrano's employment agreement and equity award agreements, Mr. Rufrano will be entitled to the following severance benefits:
- •
- A lump sum payment equal to 12 months of his base salary and the average annualized short-term incentive bonus received for the two fiscal years ending on or prior to the termination date (or, where necessary, to calculate the average due to a termination prior to the completion of two fiscal years with the Management Joint Venture, those bonus payments received by the executive from New Plan). As of December 31, 2008, this cash payment would have been $1,508,219.
- •
- Other than in the event of a change in control (which is discussed below), and in addition to the reasons stated above, if Mr. Rufrano's employment is terminated by Centro WCJV LP, Inc. without cause, the acceleration and vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock awards, such vesting to be determined as follows:
- •
- with respect to time-based options, based on Mr. Rufrano's employment on the vesting day and
- •
- with respect to performance-based options and restricted stock awards, such awards will vest in incremental amounts, up to the full vesting of such awards, if and to the extent that Centro Properties Limited exceeds certain performance thresholds.
- •
- In the event of a change in control, the full vesting of all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards. As of December 31, 2008, the value of this benefit would have been $8,591.
As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate value of this benefit would have been $0 (the closing trading price of A$0.076 per share of Centro Properties Group common stock on the Australian Securities Exchange on December 31, 2008 is less than his option exercise prices of A$8.1523 and A$0.50, and as of December 31, 2008 we had not met the threshold performance target under the terms of the awards).
In the event of a change in control, regardless of whether Mr. Rufrano elects to terminate his employment for good reason, Mr. Rufrano would be entitled to 150% of his base salary as a short-term incentive bonus. As of December 31, 2008, the value of this benefit would have been $1,800,000. All of Mr. Rufrano's unvested stock options and restricted stock awards become fully vested. As of December 31, 2008, the value of this benefit would have been $8,591.
Steven F. Siegel. If Mr. Siegel's employment is terminated by the Management Joint Venture without cause or by Mr. Siegel for good reason (which includes a change in control of Centro Properties Group, the Management Joint Venture or Centro US), then pursuant to the terms of Mr. Siegel's employment agreement and equity award agreements, Mr. Siegel will be entitled to the following severance benefits:

- Continuation for a period of one year, or, if earlier, until reemployment with equivalent benefits, of all insurance coverage (including medical, hospitalization, dental and life insurance) in effect for Mr. Siegel, his spouse and his dependents immediately prior to the termination date. As of December 31, 2008, the estimated value of this benefit would have been $19,445.
- •
- Other than in the event of a change in control (which is discussed below), the acceleration and vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock awards, such vesting to be determined as follows:
- •
- with respect to time-based options, based on a proportion of the time served by Mr. Siegel since the grant date; and
- •
- with respect to performance-based options and restricted stock awards, such awards will vest in incremental amounts, up to the full vesting of such awards, if and to the extent that CPL exceeds certain performance thresholds for the period up to the last trading day of the calendar month preceding the termination date.
- •
- In the event of a change in control, the full vesting of all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards. As of December 31, 2008, the value of this benefit would have been $2,708.

In the event of a change in control, regardless of whether Mr. Siegel elects to terminate his employment for good reason, all of Mr. Siegel's unvested stock options and restricted stock awards become fully vested. As of December 31, 2008, the value of this benefit would have been $2,708.
In the event that payment is made in connection with a "change in control", such payment will be reduced to the extent it would cause Mr. Siegel's total termination benefits to constitute "excess" parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code, subjecting Mr. Siegel to an excise tax under Section 4999(a) of the Code; provided, however, the foregoing reduction will not take place if the after-tax value of Mr. Siegel's termination benefits calculated with this restriction are less than such termination benefits calculated without the restriction.
If Mr. Siegel's employment is terminated upon his disability, he will be entitled to the following severance benefits:
- •
- Continued base salary for six months. As of December 31, 2008, this cash payment would have been $195,000.

Prior to the consummation of the transactions described in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, all audit and audit-related services were pre-approved by the audit committee of our predecessor, either pursuant to the audit committee's Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy or through a separate pre-approval by the audit committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm's independence from the Company.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). An evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the framework inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework inInternal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
Our management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Member of Centro NP LLC:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Centro NP, LLC and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index under Item 15(a)2 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein at December 31, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from April 5, 2007 to December 31, 2007 when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which was an integrated audit in 2008). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company's liquidity is subject to, among other things, its ability to negotiate extensions of credit facilities (refer to subsequent events disclosure at Note 26); its reliance upon funding provided by an entity that it does not control; current prohibition upon its ability to incur further indebtedness and the existence of restrictions upon operations which increase the risk of default and cross-default of existing debt. In addition, uncertainty also exists due to the liquidity issues currently experienced by the Company's parent and the Company's ultimate equity investors. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
F-3
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MergerSub commenced and completed a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of New Plan. On April 20, 2007, New Plan and the Buyer Parties completed the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, MergerSub merged with and into New Plan (the "Merger"), with New Plan surviving the Merger, and in connection therewith, Super DownREIT Acquisition L.P. ("DownREIT Acquisition") merged with and into Excel Realty Partners, L.P. (the "DownREIT Partnership"), with the DownREIT Partnership continuing as the surviving limited partnership (the "DownREIT Merger," and together with the Merger, the "Mergers"). As a result of the Merger, New Plan became a wholly owned subsidiary of Centro NP and any stockholder who held shares of Common Stock prior to the Merger ceased to be a stockholder effective as of the Merger.
On April 20, 2007, immediately following the Merger, New Plan, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, was liquidated (the "Liquidation"), and in connection with the Liquidation, (a) all of New Plan's assets were transferred to, and all of its liabilities were assumed by, Centro NP, (b) all outstanding shares of preferred stock of New Plan were automatically converted into, and cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, cash liquidating distributions in accordance with their terms, and (c) all shares of Common Stock of New Plan were cancelled. As a result of the Merger and Liquidation, New Plan filed a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 pursuant to which it terminated its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") with respect to its Common Stock and 7.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Immediately following the Merger and the Liquidation, the Company's employees became employees of Centro US Management Joint Venture 2, LP (formerly known as Centro Watt Management Joint Venture 2, L.P. and referred to in these notes as the "Management Joint Venture"). The distribution occurred in order to comply with certain tax restrictions applicable to the Company's ultimate equity owners and to permit such employees to serve management functions at other properties controlled by the Company's affiliates. Following this distribution, Centro Super Management Joint Venture 2, LLC, a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the Management Joint Venture (the "Company Management Joint Venture"), managed the Company's properties, although during a transition period, certain of the Company's subsidiaries continued to provide payroll, benefit and other transition services with respect to the Company's former employees. Such transition services continued through April 30, 2008. Contracts memorializing the management services arrangements under which the Company has been operating were entered into on March 28, 2008 in connection with an amendment to the Company's revolving credit facility.
Although the Company's employees were employed by the Management Joint Venture shortly following the Merger and Liquidation, for the period January 1, 2008 to April 30, 2008, the Company

continued to incur all costs relating to the payroll and benefits of the Company's employees employed by the Management Joint Venture as well as incurring other transition services while the Management Joint Venture finalized arrangements to replicate such functions.
As the Company continued to provide services on a transitionary basis through April 30, 2008, for accounting purposes, the Distribution, Contribution and Assignment Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") entered into by the Company, Super LLC, Management Joint Venture, Centro US Employment Company, LLC and Centro New Plan, Inc (a member of Super LLC) dated March 28, 2008, has not been reflected during the period to April 30, 2008. The distribution has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements covered in this report as of May 1, 2008. As a result, certain assets and liabilities have been distributed out as of May 1, 2008. The significant assets and liabilities that were distributed out of the Company in relation to the Distribution Agreement (the "Service Business Transfer") were goodwill, furniture and fittings, and employee benefits related accruals/reserves. The total net assets distributed as part of the Service Business Transfer were $221.9 million. Refer to further information included in Note 3 relating to the impairment of goodwill prior to Service Business Transfer.
In connection with the Mergers, Centro NP, New Plan Realty Trust, LLC (as successor to New Plan Realty Trust, but only with respect to the 1999 Indenture (as defined below)) and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") entered into supplemental indentures (the "Supplemental Indentures"), each dated as of April 20, 2007, to (i) the Indenture dated as of March 29, 1995 (the "1995 Indenture"), by and between New Plan (as successor to New Plan Realty Trust) and the Trustee (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor to The First National Bank of Boston), (ii) the Indenture dated as of February 3, 1999 (the "1999 Indenture"), by and among New Plan, New Plan Realty Trust, as guarantor, and the Trustee (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company), and (iii) the Indenture dated as of January 30, 2004 (the "2004 Indenture", and collectively with the 1995 Indenture and the 1999 Indenture, the "Indentures"), by and between New Plan and the Trustee. The Supplemental Indentures each provided for the assumption by Centro NP of all of the obligations of New Plan under each of the Indentures, effective upon consummation of the Merger.
Centro NP, as the successor obligor on New Plan's unsecured senior notes, intends to continue to file with the SEC any annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to the Indentures governing the unsecured senior notes.
Accounting Treatment
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141,Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141"), a business combination occurs when an entity acquires net assets that constitute a business or acquires equity interest of one or more other entities and obtains "control" over that entity or entities. "Control" is defined by SFAS No. 141 as "ownership by one company, directly or indirectly, of over fifty percent of the outstanding voting shares of another company." For accounting purposes, SFAS No. 141 further states that the designated acquisition date should be the date that control of the acquired entity is transferred to the acquiring entity without restrictions, except those required to protect the shareholders or other owners of the acquired entity. In conjunction with the transactions described

above, Centro NP LLC acquired a 66.7% controlling interest in New Plan on April 5, 2007 in accordance with the definition of control in SFAS No. 141. As such, with respect to the results of operations of Centro NP, April 5, 2007 is the defined acquisition date throughout the remainder of this document. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report represent the results of operations and financial condition of New Plan (which is referred to as the Predecessor herein) prior to April 5, 2007, and of Centro NP for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Plan's Common Stock remained outstanding until April 20, 2007, at which point MergerSub, subsequently Centro NP, acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, any discussion pertaining to New Plan's Common Stock, preferred stock or stock-based compensation in this document will reference April 20, 2007.
The aggregate purchase price of the Merger has been allocated in accordance with SFAS No. 141 at the date of acquisition, based on the Company's evaluation of information and estimates available at such date. Accordingly, all assets were recorded at their fair values at the time of acquisition. As final information regarding the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was received and estimates were refined, appropriate adjustments were made to the purchase price allocation. Such adjustments made to the purchase price allocation were all made prior to December 31, 2007. No

2. Description of Business
Centro NP LLC (together with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and consolidated entities, the "Company") was formed in February 2007 in connection with the Offer and the Mergers, and to succeed the operations of New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. (together with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and consolidated entities, "New Plan" or the "Predecessor"). Prior to the consummation of the Offer and the Mergers, the Company engaged in no activities other than those incident to its formation and the execution of the Merger Agreement. The principal business of the Company is the ownership and development of community and neighborhood shopping centers throughout the United States. Prior to the consummation of the Mergers and the Liquidation (described in Note 1, "Merger and Liquidation") the Predecessor was operated as a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). As a result of the Merger and Liquidation, the Company is no longer operating as a REIT. On May 3, 2007, the Company's name was changed from Super IntermediateCo LLC to Centro NP LLC.

All references to "we," "us," "our," "ours," "Centro NP" or the "Company" in these notes refer to Centro NP LLC and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries and consolidated entities, unless the context indicates otherwise. All references to the "Predecessor" or "New Plan" in these notes refer to New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries and consolidated entities, as it existed prior to April 5, 2007, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The consolidated financial statements covered in this report represent the results of operations and financial condition of the Predecessor prior to April 5, 2007, and of the Company for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2008. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Predecessor include accounts of their wholly-owned subsidiaries and all partnerships in which they have a controlling interest. The portion of these entities not owned by the Company or the Predecessor is presented as minority interest as of and during the periods presented. All inter-entity transactions have been eliminated.
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine (i) if the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), (ii) if the Company is the primary beneficiary, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46") and (iii) whether the Company has a controlling interest in the entity, in accordance with the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 04-5,Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights ("EITF 04-5"). The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs that the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of in accordance with FIN 46 and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company controls in accordance with EITF 04-5. Entities that the Company accounts for under the equity method (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by the Company's share of earnings or losses, less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs that the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company does not control, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company will reconsider its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who qualifies as the primary beneficiary if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original

determinations. The Predecessor applied the same evaluation process through April 4, 2007 as detailed above as being applied by the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and the Predecessor pursuant to the rules of the SEC and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
Going Concern
There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern given the Company's liquidity is subject to, among other things, its ability to negotiate extensions of credit facilities (refer to subsequent events disclosures at Note 26); its reliance upon funding provided by an entity that it does not control; current prohibition upon its ability to incur further indebtedness and the existence of restrictions upon operations which increase the risk of default and cross-default of existing debt. In addition, uncertainty also exists due to the liquidity issues currently experienced by the Company's parent and the ultimate parent investors, Centro Properties Limited and Centro Property Trust.
The half yearly financial statements of our ultimate parents, Centro Properties Limited ("CPL") and Centro Property Trust ("CPT"), which were lodged with Australian regulatory bodies on February 26, 2009 identified material uncertainty (equivalent to substantial doubt) about those entities ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is working with both its lenders and the lenders of its affiliated entities, and also with management of the ultimate parent investors of the Company, to assess a number of options that address the Company's ongoing liquidity issues. Factors that may impact this include the current and future condition of the credit market and the US retail real estate market.
The extension of certain debt facilities to December 31, 2010 provides the Company with more time to consider a range of different plans to address its longer term liquidity issues and potential funding from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture and potential asset sales, among other things, should provide the Company with the ability to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
No adjustments were made to the consolidated financial statements in relation to this uncertainty.
Earnings per Share of Common Stock
As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any outstanding shares of common stock, and all issued and potentially issuable shares of the Predecessor's common stock had been cancelled. For periods prior to April 5, 2007, the Predecessor presented both basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,Earnings per Share ("SFAS No. 128"). Earnings per common share ("basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Earnings per share of common

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
stock assuming dilution ("diluted EPS") is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon (a) the conversion of (i) limited partnership units of Excel Realty Partners, L.P. ("ERP"), a Delaware limited partnership, (ii) convertible senior notes, (iii) restricted stock grants and (iv) contingent compensation awards and (b) the exercise of in-the-money stock options.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at acquisition. At times, cash balances at a limited number of banks may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not identified any specific counter-party credit risk in relation to its cash balances.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists primarily of cash held in escrow accounts for deferred maintenance, capital improvements, environmental expenditures, taxes, insurance, operating expenses and debt service as required by certain loan agreements. All restricted cash is invested in money market accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $17.2 million and $20.5 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company makes, and the Predecessor made, estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, expense reimbursements and other revenues. The Company analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and estimates are made in connection with the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims.
Real Estate
Land, buildings and building and tenant improvements are recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives; ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Land, buildings and building and tenant improvements that are under redevelopment, or are being developed, are carried at cost and no depreciation is recorded on these assets. Additionally, amounts essential to the development of the property, such as pre-construction costs, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development are capitalized. The Company ceases capitalization when the property is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in any event no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings | 40 years | |
Building improvements | 5 to 40 years | |
Tenant improvements | The shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life |
Business Combinations
In connection with the Company's acquisition of properties, purchase costs are allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The value of the tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and building and tenant improvements, are determined as if vacant (i.e., at replacement cost). Intangible assets, including the above-market value of leases and the value of in-place leases, are recorded at their relative fair values. The below-market value of leases is recorded in other liabilities.
Above-market and below-market lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease value is amortized as a reduction of, or increase to, rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of each lease, plus any renewal periods with fixed rental terms that are considered to be below-market.
The total amount of other intangible assets allocated to in-place lease values is based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each lease and the Company's overall relationship with each tenant. Factors considered in the allocation of these values include, but are not limited to, the nature of the existing relationship with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality, the expectation of lease renewals, the estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Management will also consider information obtained about a property in connection with its pre-acquisition due diligence. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, based on management's assessment of specific market conditions. Management will estimate costs required to execute leases including commissions and legal costs to the extent that such costs are not already incurred with a new lease that has been negotiated in connection with the purchase of a property. Independent appraisals and/or management's estimates will be used to determine these values.
The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term of each lease. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial terms of the leases; however, no amortization period for intangible assets will exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including market rate adjustments, lease origination costs, in-place values and tenant relationship values, will be charged as an expense.
Long-Lived Assets
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its real estate properties may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property (taking into account the anticipated holding period of the asset) is less than the carrying value of the property. Such estimate of cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property, and reflected as an adjustment to the basis of the property.
In conducting an impairment analysis of the Company's long-lived assets, management applied a probability weighting as to how long the assets would be held prior to disposal, as contemplated in SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"). The probability weighting takes into consideration the likelihood of disposal of each asset. During the year ended December 31, 2008, changes to the holding period probability weighting were made in the impairment analysis. For a number of properties, the likelihood of disposal of each asset increased significantly due to changes in management's plans for such assets. As a result of the change to the probability weighting, a number of properties were identified as being impaired in accordance with SFAS No. 144. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the total impairment charge on all properties was $260.0 million ($229.9 million relating to the continuing operations and $30.1 million relating to the discontinued operations, refer to Note 7). For the period from April 5, 2007 to December 31, 2007, the total impairment charge on all properties was $27.8 million. There was no impairment on properties for the period from January 1, 2007 to April 4, 2007. The impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2008 arose due to a decrease in the estimated cash flows from the properties over the estimated holding period. The changes to cash flows included both revisions to forecast sale prices and operating cash flows.
The decrease in forecast sale prices on the Company's real estate investments has been caused by increase in market capitalization rates during the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase in market capitalization rates is a response to various market trends, in particular the growing negative economic outlook.
In relation to changes to forecast operating cash flows, management undertook a detailed reforecast of real estate net operating results during the year ended December 31, 2008. This reforecast identified reduced cash flows due to changes in lease up assumptions and tenant vacancies.
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management's opinion, the net sales price of the assets that have been identified for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, an impairment charge is recorded. Refer to Note 6 for further information on assets designated as held for sale. Refer to Note 7 for information relating to impairment loss recognized on assets

designated as held for sale. For investments accounted for under the equity method, a loss is recognized if the loss in value of the investment is other than temporary. During the year ended December 31, 2008, management identified an other than temporary loss in value in eight of its investments accounted for under the equity method. The other than temporary impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $63.8 million, of which $50.8 million relates to the three months ended December 31, 2008. Management has identified that the cause for the other than temporary loss is the decrease in the fair value of the underlying real estate investments of each of the investments accounted for under the equity method along with unfavorable movements in the fair valuation of the debt held by each of the investments accounted for under the equity method. The decrease in fair value of the underlying real estate has been caused by an increase in market capitalization rates during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in market capitalization rates is a response to various market trends, in particular the growing negative economic outlook. The main driver to the unfavorable movements in the fair valuation of debt has been the significant decrease in risk free rates during the three months ended December 31, 2008. See Note 10 for additional information.
Deferred Leasing and Loan Origination Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining tenant leases (including internal leasing costs) are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases and included in depreciation and amortization. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease. Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are amortized and charged to interest expense using the straight-line method over the terms of the related debt agreements, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the related debt agreements.
Internal Leasing Costs
The Company capitalizes and the Predecessor capitalized internal leasing costs in accordance with SFAS No. 91,Nonrefundable Fees & Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases. Please refer to the following table for additional information regarding the capitalization of internal leasing costs (dollars in thousands).

Investments in / Advances to Unconsolidated Ventures
The Company has direct equity investments in several joint venture projects. The Company accounts for these investments in unconsolidated ventures using the equity method of accounting, as the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, and is not the primary beneficiary of, these entities. These investments are initially recorded at cost, as "Investments in/advances to unconsolidated ventures", and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Intercompany fees and gains on property transactions are eliminated to the extent of the Company's ownership interest.
To the extent that the Company contributes assets to a joint venture project, the difference between the Company's cost basis in the assets and the basis reflected at the joint venture level is amortized over the life of the related asset and included in the Company's share of equity in income of unconsolidated ventures.
In accordance with APB Opinion No. 18,The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, the Company evaluates its investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in the value of its investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. As a result of this impairment analysis, impairments have been identified and recorded on a number of the Company's investments in / advances to unconsolidated ventures. Further information relating to these impairments is provided at Note 10.
Intangible Assets
The Company's intangible assets, other than those acquired in business combinations, include property management rights, and an asset management fee stream. These assets were initially measured based on their fair values and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 to 40 years. These assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization.
The Company undertook an impairment analysis of its intangible assets balance as of May 1, 2008 as part of its SFAS No. 142 impairment analysis over the Company's goodwill prior to its distribution on May 1, 2008. Based on the analysis, it was determined that the Company's property management rights and asset management fee stream were impaired. Accordingly, an impairment loss of approximately $19.2 million was recorded against the Company's intangible asset balance for the period ended June 30, 2008.
The impairment charge taken in the three months ended June 30, 2008 was required due to the significant reduction in the Company's and its affiliates' forecast cash flow streams derived from certain property and funds management services. The impairment charge was due to reduction in forecast cash flows derived from certain property and funds management services. The recent developments relating to the Company's refinancing has resulted in further decrease in growth opportunities in relation to certain property and funds management services. No further impairment charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008 in accordance with impairment analysis completed as required by SFAS No. 144.

Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment Testing
The Company accounts for its goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS No. 142 modifies the previous accounting treatment of goodwill, eliminating the amortization of goodwill and requiring that goodwill be tested on an annual basis for possible impairment.
The Company undertook an impairment analysis of the goodwill balance as of December 31, 2007. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company is required to undertake an annual impairment test of goodwill. The Company has elected December 31, as the date for its annual impairment testing. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the goodwill balance was attributed to the management business reporting unit of the Company. As discussed in Note 1 above, the Service Business Transfer was completed in accordance with the Distribution, Contribution and Assignment Agreement between the Company, Super LLC, Management Joint Venture, Centro US Employment Company, LLC and Centro New Plan Inc. on May 1, 2008. Accordingly, the goodwill balance has been recorded as a distribution on May 1, 2008. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, prior to the distribution of goodwill balance, the goodwill balance was subject to an impairment analysis. As a result of such analysis, an impairment charge of $154.3 million was incurred. The impairment charge was due to reduction in forecast cash flows derived from certain property and funds management services.
Derivative / Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133") and SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities. These accounting standards require the Company to measure derivatives, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, at fair value and to recognize them in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities, depending on the Company's rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For periods subsequent to April 5, 2007, the Company does not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, for all derivative instruments the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in earnings. Prior to April 5, 2007, the Predecessor elected to use hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. Under that pronouncement, changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges were recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the derivative were reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affected earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments were not designated as hedging instruments, and ineffective portions of hedges, were recognized in earnings in the current period. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company settled its two reverse arrears swap agreements. Both of these swap agreements were due to mature in February 2011. The swaps were settled for a total payment of approximately $0.4 million. As a result of the settlement, the Company does not hold any derivatives as of December 31, 2008. Refer to Note 14 for further information.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for its conditional asset retirement obligations in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations ("FIN 47"). A conditional

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
asset retirement obligation refers to a legal obligation (pursuant to existing law or contract) to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditioned upon the occurrence of a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company. The Company's conditional asset retirement obligations arise primarily from legal requirements to decontaminate buildings at the time the buildings are sold or otherwise disposed of. In accordance with FIN 47, the Company has reasonably estimated the fair value of its conditional asset retirement obligations and has recognized a liability for conditional asset retirement obligations of approximately $1.9 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
General Liability Insurance
The Company has one wholly-owned captive insurance company, ERT CIC, LLC ("ERT CIC"), which underwrites the first layer of general liability insurance programs for the Company's wholly-owned, majority-owned and joint venture properties (excluding properties owned by CA New Plan Acquisition Fund, LLC, CA New Plan Direct Investment Fund, LLC and CA New Plan Venture Fund, LLC, which are covered under a separate policy). The Company carries general liability insurance on its properties in amounts that it believes (i) adequately insures all of its properties and (ii) are in line with coverage obtained by owners of similar properties. The Company has purchased stop loss insurance, which will reimburse the Company for individual claims in excess of $0.3 million annually, or aggregate claims in excess of $3.7 million annually. If the Company experiences a loss and ERT CIC is required to pay under its insurance policy, the Company would ultimately record a loss to the extent of such required payment. Because the Company owns ERT CIC, the Company is responsible for ERT CIC's liquidity and capital resources, and the accounts of ERT CIC are part of the Company's and the Predecessor's consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as "deferred rent receivable" on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain leases provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the lessee. These percentage rents are recorded once the required sales levels are achieved. The leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of common area maintenance and other operating expenses. Rental revenue also includes lease termination fees. The Company recognized approximately $3.6 million of lease termination fees for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company also recognized approximately $4.3 million of lease termination fees for the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The Predecessor recognized approximately $2.1 million of lease termination fees for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007. Additionally, the Predecessor recognized approximately $6.8 million of lease termination fees for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Income from Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 144 requires, among other things, that the primary assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company's real property that has been sold, or otherwise qualifies as "held for sale"

(as defined by SFAS No. 144), be classified as discontinued operations and segregated in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and Consolidated Balance Sheets. Properties classified as real estate held for sale generally represent properties that are under contract for sale and are expected to close within the next twelve months.
Income Taxes
The Predecessor elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Predecessor was required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Predecessor was not subject to federal income tax with respect to the portion of its income that met certain criteria and was distributed annually to the stockholders. Subsequent to the Merger and the Liquidation, the Company is organized as a limited liability company and is not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company is, and the Predecessor was, subject to certain state and local taxes. Provision for such taxes has been included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).
The Predecessor elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). In general, the TRSs of the Predecessor performed additional services for tenants of the Predecessor and generally engaged in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the provision to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, of rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). The TRS was subject to corporate federal income tax. As a result of the Merger, and the fact that the Company is no longer operating as a REIT, the Predecessor's TRSs are now operating as corporations. In addition, the corporations had other net tax assets, most significantly relating to an asset impairment recognized in fiscal 2003, for financial accounting purposes that will not be recognized for tax purposes until the property is sold. The Company has ascribed a full valuation allowance to these net deferred tax assets.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 (i) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies' financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, (ii) prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and (iii) provides guidance on derecognition of recognized tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2008.
Segment Information
The principal business of the Company is the ownership and development of community and neighborhood shopping centers. The Company does not distinguish or group its operations on a

geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with GAAP. Further, all of the Company's operations and assets are within the United States and no tenant comprises more than 10% of revenue.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to impairments of real estate, recovery of mortgage notes and trade accounts receivable and depreciable lives.
Reclassifications
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
New Applicable Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an Amendment to FAS No. 115, ("SFAS No. 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. The fair value option may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008. The Company has elected not to measure any of its eligible financial assets or liabilities at fair value and therefore the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. The only financial assets recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2008 are those required to be fair valued under other accounting standards.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008, refer to Note 23 of these consolidated financial statements for further details relating to fair value measurements. During February 2008, the FASB issued two Staff Positions that (i) partially deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities and (ii) removed certain leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157. The impact of partially adopting SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised),Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141(R)"). SFAS No. 141(R) changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring

cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer's income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for certain tax adjustments for prior business combinations. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this statement on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141(R).
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders' equity, and the elimination of "minority interest" accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to non-controlling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent's controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, ("SFAS No. 161") which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FAS 133 to require qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 is to be applied prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 also encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Company.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("FSP FAS 142-3"). FSP FAS 142-3 removes the requirement of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142") for an entity to consider, when determining the useful life of an acquired intangible asset, whether the intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost or material modifications to the existing terms and conditions associated with the intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 replaces the previous useful-life assessment criteria with a requirement that an entity considers its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. If the entity has no relevant experience, it would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal. FSP FAS 142-3 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 Company will adopt this interpretation on January 1, 2009, as required, and management is still evaluating the impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, ("EITF 03-6-1"), which classifies unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities and requires them to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are to be adjusted retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of EITF 03-6-1 will have on the Company's financial position and results of operations, but note that this adoption will only impact the comparative financial information.
It has been determined that any recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not mentioned in the note have been excluded as they either are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

- Represents convertible senior notes. At certain dates, and upon the occurrence of certain events, the notes are convertible into cash up to their principal amount and, with respect to the remainder, if any, of the conversion value in excess of such principal amount, cash or shares of the Company's common stock. The initial conversion price was $25.00 per share. On or after June 9, 2008, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued interest. In addition, on June 1, 2010, June 1, 2012, and June 1, 2018, or upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes prior to June 1, 2010, note holders have the right to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the notes, at a purchase price equal to the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes. Although the stated maturity date of the notes is June 1, 2023, the scheduled maturity date listed above represents the first date that note holders have the right, not contingent on other provisions, to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the notes. As discussed further below, these notes became convertible on April 1, 2007, and were convertible through July 2, 2007.

This additional interest becomes due and payable only upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Amended July 2007 Facility and is retrospective to May 7, 2008. If such event of default had arisen as of December 31, 2008, total additional interest to be accrued would be approximately $11.3 million. No such event of default occurred caused the payment of the additional default interest. Therefore interest continues to accrue at LIBOR or the prime rate plus 1.75%. Such default interest rate continues to be applicable through January 15, 2009 and continues to be retrospective to May 7, 2008.

On December 15, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the "December 2008 Facility Extension Agreement") modifying and waiving various provisions of the $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility the Company entered into on July 31, 2007, with Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, the "Amended July 2007 Facility").

2008 Facility Extension Agreement. Following the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, the Amended July 2007 Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2010. As of January 15, 2009, the Company had an aggregate of $306.5 million borrowing outstanding under the Amended July 2007 Facility. Borrowings under the Amended July 2007 Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, the prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. Interest on the outstanding balance that accrued during the period from December 16, 2007 through February 14, 2008 accrued at a rate equal to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 1.75% less the applicable margin in effect immediately prior to the amendment entered into on February 14, 2008.
In addition to the interest that accrues and is paid currently, upon the occurrence of an event of default, additional interest would accrue from May 7, 2008 at a rate of 5.5%, thereby increasing the total interest rate to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 7.25%. This additional interest becomes due and payable only upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Amended July 2007 Facility. For illustrative purposes only, if such event of default had arisen as of December 31, 2008, total additional interest to be accrued would be approximately $11.3 million. No such event of default has occurred, therefore interest continues to accrue at LIBOR or the prime rate plus 1.75%.
Additionally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, interest on the balance accrues at a rate equal to LIBOR or the prime rate plus 11.25% (an increase of 4%). The new default interest rate provided under the Amended July 2007 Facility is applicable from the date of such event of default. No further borrowings under the Amended July 2007 Facility are permitted and any amounts repaid or prepaid prior to the maturity date may not be reborrowed.
The Amended July 2007 Facility is secured by assets held by the Company, as well as by certain assets held by the Residual Joint Venture.
Additionally, the loans and other obligations under the Amended July 2007 Facility are required to be paid, and the commitments will be reduced accordingly, upon the receipt by the Company of net proceeds from the disposition of certain properties. Net proceeds in respect of certain casualty and condemnation events affecting certain properties are required to be applied towards the prepayment of the loans as well. Except under certain limited circumstances, the Company is prohibited from selling or transferring property, making equity issuances or making payments of cash or other property with respect to indebtedness without lender consent. The requirement that the Company manage at least 90% of its properties was revised to permit the Management Joint Venture or one of its indirect or direct subsidiaries to also act as manager of such properties.
CPT Manager Limited, as a responsible entity of the CPT and CPL agreed under the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility to take and avoid taking certain actions with respect to the Company, such as (i) entering into any agreement that limits the Company's flexibility, or grants lender consent rights, with respect to the sale of the Company's assets, (ii) obtaining guaranties from the Company with respect to parent debt, (iii) pledging any of the Company's assets in favor of their creditors, (iv) permitting the Company to transfer assets to CPT and CPL, or giving guaranties for their debt. A breach of such covenants was made an event of default under the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility. The Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility also releases the parent Company guaranty under that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated July 31, 2007, by and among CPT and CPL as guarantors in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.

Centro NP, as the successor obligor on the Notes, intends to continue to file with the SEC any annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that it is required to file with the SEC to the extent required under the Indentures governing the Notes.
Pursuant to the terms of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023, as set forth in the 1999 Indenture, as supplemented by an Officers' Certificate, dated May 19, 2003 (the "Officers' Certificate") and the Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 17, 2004 (the "Supplemental Indenture"), on April 1, 2007, the sale price condition triggering the holders' conversion rights was satisfied as a result of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter was greater than or equal to 120% of the applicable conversion price on such last trading day. Accordingly, pursuant to the 1999 Indenture, as supplemented by the Officers' Certificate and the Supplemental Indenture, the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes became convertible as of April 1, 2007 and were convertible through July 2, 2007.

Extension of Super Bridge Loan
On December 15, 2008, Super LLC, the Company's sole and managing member, entered into a letter agreement (the "Prior Super Bridge Loan December 2008 Extension Agreement") modifying and waiving various provisions of the amended and restated loan agreement it entered into on August 1, 2007, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, for an approximate amount of $2.6 billion (the "Prior Super Bridge Loan"). The Prior Super Bridge Loan December 2008 Extension Agreement, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Prior Super Bridge Loan to January 15, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, the approximate outstanding balance of the Prior Super Bridge Loan was $1.9 billion.
On January 15, 2009, Super LLC entered into a second amended and restated loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, amending and restating the Prior Super Bridge Loan with an approximate outstanding balance of $1.9 billion (the "Super Bridge Loan"). Proceeds from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture (as described below) that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility (as described in Note 26—Subsequent Events) were used to repay $133.5 million of the outstanding balance leaving an approximate outstanding balance of $1.75 billion. The maturity date has been extended to December 31, 2010 and the applicable margin of 1.75% remains unchanged from the previously negotiated applicable margin under the Prior Super Bridge Loan. The Company is not an obligor under the Super Bridge Loan but the Amended July 2007 Facility will cross-default upon any default of the Super Bridge Loan.
Preston Ridge Facility

On January 15, 2009, BPR LLC entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the "Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as agent and a lender) and the other lenders party thereto, which amended and restated the $105.0 million credit facility entered into by BPR LLC on February 14, 2008, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as agent and a lender) and the other lenders party thereto. The Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility, among other things, extended the maturity date to December 31, 2010.

Amended July 2007 Facility will cross-default upon any default of the Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility.
Cross-defaulting of Debt
The Amended and Restated Preston Ridge Facility and Residual Credit Facility of the Residual Joint Venture, and the Super Bridge Loan of Super LLC are cross-defaulted with the Amended July 2007 Facility.
An Event-of-Default under the Indentures will trigger an event-of-default of all debt arrangements mentioned directly above. An event of default on any of the Company's debt will result in acceleration of the repayment of the Indentures. There are currently no instances of default of debt obligations where cross-default provisions exist with certain debt obligations.
Prohibition on Incurring Additional Indebtedness
Due to certain covenants and restrictions contained in certain of the Company's debt agreements, the Company is currently prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness.
Collateralization of Super Bridge Loan Debt
It should be noted that as of December 31, 2008 and since April 20, 2007, the Super Bridge Loan (totaling $1.9 billion) of the Company's parent, Super LLC is collateralized by its 100% membership interest in the Company. It is also collateralized by certain assets held by the Residual Joint Venture.
Mortgage Debt With Optional Prepayment Dates
During the year ended December 31, 2008, interest rate increased by their terms under four of the Company's mortgage loans, collateralized by various properties. Each loan contained an optional prepayment date, after which the interest rate increased by 2% to 5%. The Company did not prepay such loans on their optional prepayment dates.
The Company may elect not to prepay any mortgage loans where an optional prepayment date exists until the Company's liquidity issues are satisfactorily resolved. This will result in additional interest expense on these loans.
Extension and Payment of Secured Term Loan Payments
Secured term loan payments in the aggregate amount of $9.4 million were due to be paid on November 6, 2008, by CA New Plan Venture Fund, LLC, CA New Plan Venture Fund Texas I, L.P., CA New Plan Acquisition Fund, LLC, CA New Plan Acquisition Fund Louisiana, LLC, CA New Plan Venture Direct Investment Fund, LLC and CA New Plan DIF Texas I, L.P.

In the normal course of its on-going business operations, the Company encounters economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's operations and tenants' inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of the properties held by the Company due to changes in interest rates or other market factors.

14. Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Management of Market Risk
As a real estate company, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with owning and operating real estate. The value of the Company's real estate investments is driven by market conditions, including the financial stability of tenants, demand for properties/rental space and changes in market rental rates.
Current and forecast retail market conditions are not overly positive. However, the Company manages this market risk through a high weighting of non-discretionary spending tenants, such as grocery stores, drug stores, geographic diversification of properties and selection of properties in areas with customer catchments with strong economic demographics. It is possible that if the Company is required to dispose of real estate assets in the near term and in an other than ordinary transaction to assist with the Company's liquidity position, those real estate assets could be sold at an accounting loss.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company's and Predecessor's, as applicable, use of derivative instruments is primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to manage the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties. However, because of their high credit ratings, the Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risk.
On August 2, 2006, the Predecessor entered into two forward starting interest rate swap agreements, each for $75.0 million in notional amount. These swaps were assumed by the Company in connection with the Merger. One of the swaps was expected to be used to hedge the risk of changes in interest cash outflows on fixed rate 10-year borrowings/financings that the Company anticipated issuing between February 1, 2007 and October 31, 2007 by effectively locking the three-month LIBOR swap rate. This swap was scheduled to terminate on June 15, 2017. The other swap was expected to be used to hedge the risk of changes in interest cash outflows on fixed rate 10-year borrowings/financings that the Company anticipated issuing between February 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008 by effectively locking the three-month LIBOR swap rate. This swap was scheduled to terminate on June 4, 2018. Both of these swaps were cash settled on September 14, 2007 for approximately $5.6 million.
The Company had two reverse arrears swap agreements. The reverse arrears swap agreements effectively convert the interest rate on $65.0 million of the Company's debt from a fixed rate to a blended floating rate of 30 basis points over the six-month LIBOR rate. The two reverse arrears swap agreements terminate on February 1, 2011. Both of these swaps were cash settled on August 6, 2008 for approximately $0.4 million. As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not hold any derivative financial instruments. The Company did enter into an interest rate cap agreement after December 31, 2008 relating to the Amended July 2007 Facility.

14. Risk Management and Use of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Post merger, these reverse arrears Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133. Gains and losses pertaining to derivatives are included in "Interest expense" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(loss). This includes mark-to-market adjustments of open contracts as well as periodic settlements.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $(1.1) million to reflect a cumulative increase in the fair value of two interest rate swaps which the Company determined did not qualify for hedge accounting within the meaning of SFAS No. 133.
Concentration of Credit Risk
A concentration of credit risk arises in the Company's business when a national or regionally-based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by the Company. In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rent payments to the Company, exposing the Company to a potential loss in rental revenue that is magnified as a result of the tenant renting space in multiple locations. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain any unusual concentration of credit risk. No tenant exceeds 10% of the Company's annual reported rental income.
Risks Associated with Liquidity Position
The Company presently has $306.5 million of debt under its Amended July 2007 Facility which is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2010. During 2009, the Company has an aggregate of $188.5 million of mortgage debt, notes payable and credit facilities scheduled to mature, $19.3 million of scheduled mortgage amortization payments and a $9.4 million required loan paydown. An event of default caused by the non-payment of this debt upon maturity may result in a default under our public indentures. Such event of default will result in a default of the Super Bridge Loan.
In addition, covenants contained in certain of the Company's indebtedness significantly constrain the Company's ability to incur additional debt in the short-term. In connection with the Supplement to the Amended July 2007 Facility, the Company is no longer permitted to make draws under the Amended July 2007 Facility, and is limited to financing any development costs from distributions received from the Residual Joint Venture, and equity contributions from Super LLC, that are funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility and certain asset sale proceeds. However, given the Company does not control the Residual Joint Venture, such funding to fulfill liquidity needs cannot be guaranteed.
The Company's ultimate parent investors (CPT and CPL) are also dealing with significant liquidity/refinancing issues. Due to the financial constraints of the Company's ultimate parent investors, it is unlikely that they will be able to make additional equity contributions to alleviate the Company's short-term liquidity issues.
15. Minority Interest in Consolidated Partnership and Joint Ventures
In 1995, the DownREIT Partnership, a consolidated entity, was formed to own certain real estate properties. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner of the DownREIT

Partnership and was entitled to receive 99% of all net income and gains before depreciation, if any, after the limited partners receive their preferred cash and gain allocations. Properties have been contributed to the DownREIT Partnership in exchange for cash, the assumption of mortgage indebtedness and limited partnership units (which may be redeemed at stipulated prices for cash).
In connection with the DownREIT Merger, each unit of limited partnership interest in the DownREIT Partnership (a "DownREIT Unit") who elected to do so was converted, without any action on the part of the holder, into the right to receive one fully-paid Class A Preferred Unit, without interest, of the surviving partnership (the "Preferred Unit Consideration"). In lieu of the Preferred Unit Consideration, holders of DownREIT Units were offered the opportunity to elect to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price per DownREIT Unit, as adjusted (the "Cash Consideration"). The holders of DownREIT Units that elected to receive the Cash Consideration ceased to be limited partners of the DownREIT Partnership. In connection with the DownREIT Merger, holders of 752,187 DownREIT Units, as adjusted, elected to receive the Cash Consideration, and holders of 2,643,870 DownREIT Units, as adjusted, elected, or were deemed to have elected, to receive the Preferred Unit Consideration. As a result, following the consummation of the DownREIT Merger, there were 2,643,870 Class A Preferred Units outstanding and not owned by Centro NP or its affiliates. Holders of these Class A Preferred Units have a redemption right for their Class A Preferred Units which became exercisable starting April 20, 2008. Each Class A Preferred Unit is redeemable for $33.15 plus all accrued and unpaid distributions.
The DownREIT Partnership entered into agreements (the "ERP Redemption Agreements") in June 2008 with twelve limited partners with respect to the redemption of each limited partner's outstanding Class A Preferred Units for an aggregate amount of $44.9 million of which $9.4 million remained outstanding as of December 31, 2008 (the "DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation"). On August 29, 2008, one of the limited partners party to an ERP Redemption Agreement entered into an agreement with the DownREIT Partnership revoking the redemption of its then outstanding remaining Class A Preferred Units and electing to retain such units. On September 12, 2008, November 25, 2008 and December 12, 2008, the DownREIT Partnership entered into amendments to the ERP Redemption Agreements with the remaining eleven limited partners who had elected to redeem their Class A Preferred Units which provided for, among other things, an extension of the redemption date of the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation ultimately to January 15, 2009. Additionally, on November 11, 2008, another Class A Preferred Unit Holder (separate to the previously discussed twelve limited partners that had made a redemption election) elected to redeem substantially all of its Class A Preferred Units. Such units were redeemed in exchange for the fee interest in a property. As of December 31, 2008, no other limited partners with Class A Preferred Units have made a redemption election. Such redemption election may be made at any time and the Company is required to make such redemption on the second to last business day of the quarter in which such election is made, provided that the Company receives the redemption election at least ten business days prior to such date.
On January 15, 2009, the Company paid in full the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation using proceeds from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2008, the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation is shown as a liability of "Redemption Rights" in the balance sheet.

SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, requires that DownREIT Partnership Class A Preferred Units that became mandatorily redeemable by the Company pursuant to the terms of the DownREIT Partnership Agreement, should be classified as a liability in the consolidated financial statements. DownREIT Partnership Class A Preferred Units become mandatorily redeemable when the holder elects to redeem the units. As of December 31, 2008, 283,127 units had been redeemed by holders which were yet to be paid. Accordingly, $9.4 million of the total redemption amount payable relating to the DownREIT Partnership Class A Preferred Units has been classified as a liability as of December 31, 2008.

As a result of the Merger, New Plan became a wholly owned subsidiary of Centro NP and any stockholder who held shares of Common Stock prior to the Merger ceased to be a stockholder effective as of the Merger.
Immediately following the Merger, and in connection with the Liquidation, all of New Plan's assets were transferred to, and all of its liabilities were assumed by, Centro NP, and all outstanding shares of common stock of the Predecessor were cancelled. As a result of the Merger and Liquidation, New Plan filed a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 pursuant to which it terminated its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to its Common Stock and 7.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

16. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)
Prior to the Merger, in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of the Predecessor could have been owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the Predecessor, applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the Predecessor did not fail this test, the Predecessor's Articles of Incorporation provided for, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the Predecessor maintained records that disclosed the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demanded written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.
Stock Options
During the period from April 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007 and during the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007, the Predecessor recorded approximately $11.9 million and $12.5 million of amortization of deferred compensation related to stock-based compensation, respectively.
17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following fair value disclosure was determined by the Company, using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively in accordance with SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. As discussed at Note 23, the Company has elected not to measure any of its eligible financial assets or liabilities at fair value and therefore the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. The only financial assets recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2008 are those required to be fair valued under other accounting standards. Such fair valuation of assets at December 31, 2008 (other than marketable securities), are fair valued on a non-recurring basis, as a result of identified impairments during the year, where such non-recurring fair valuation adjustments have been required to be made, fair valuation has been determined by application of SFAS No. 157. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free rate and the risk premium on the date of acquiring/assuming the instruments/obligations. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and other liabilities.

18. Commitments and Contingencies
General
The Company is not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of its business. However, the Company is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is believed to be material in light of reserves taken by the Company. In connection with a specific tenant litigation, and based upon certain rulings occurring during the third quarter of 2005, the Company maintains an aggregate reserve of approximately $4.5 million as of December 31, 2008. Given the increase in the reserve previously taken by the Predecessor, and the current status of the tenant litigation, the Company believes that any loss in excess of the established reserve would be immaterial.
Funding Commitments
In addition to the joint venture funding commitments described in Note 10 above, the Company also had the following contractual obligations as of December 31, 2008, none of which the Company believes will have a material adverse affect on the Company's operations:
- •
- Letters of Credit. The Company has arranged for the provision of seven separate letters of credit in connection with certain property or insurance related matters. If these letters of credit are drawn, the Company will be obligated to reimburse the providing bank for the amount of the draw. As of December 31, 2008, there was no balance outstanding under any of the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be approximately $12.5 million. Two letters of credit are set to expire on August 1, 2009 for an aggregate amount of $4.6 million. The expiration of the remaining letters of credit may be automatically extended pursuant to the terms of the Amended July 2007 Facility and Bank of America, as the issuing bank under these letters of credit, has agreed not to prevent the automatic extension of such letters of credit.
- •
- Non-Recourse Debt Guarantees. Under certain Company and joint venture non-recourse mortgage loans, the Company could, under certain circumstances, be responsible for portions of the mortgage indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had mortgage loans and secured term loans outstanding of approximately $573.5 million, excluding the impact of unamortized premiums, and

- •
- Leasing Commitments. The Company has entered into leases, as lessee, in connection with ground leases for shopping centers which it operates and administrative space for the Company. These leases are accounted for as operating leases. The minimum annual rental commitments for these leases during the next five fiscal years and thereafter are approximately as follows (dollars in thousands):
unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest had mortgage loans outstanding of approximately $3.0 billion. In addition, the Company has guaranteed certain construction and other obligations relative to certain joint venture development projects; however, the Company does not expect that its obligations under such guarantees will be material if called upon.

- Redemption Rights. The DownREIT Partnership entered into the ERP Redemption Agreements in June 2008 with twelve limited partners with respect to the redemption of each limited partner's outstanding Class A Preferred Units for an aggregate amount of $44.9 million of which $9.4 million remained outstanding as of December 31, 2008 (the "DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation"). On August 29, 2008, one of the limited partners party to an ERP Redemption Agreement entered into an agreement with the DownREIT Partnership revoking the redemption of its remaining Class A Preferred Units and electing to retain such units. On September 12, 2008, November 25, 2008 and December 12, 2008, the DownREIT Partnership entered into amendments to the ERP Redemption Agreements with the remaining eleven limited partners who had elected to redeem their Class A Preferred Units which provided for, among other things, an extension of the redemption date of the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation ultimately to January 15, 2009. Additionally, on November 11, 2008, another Class A Preferred Unit Holder (separate to the previously discussed twelve limited partners that had made a redemption election) elected to redeem substantially all of its Class A Preferred Units. Such units were redeemed in exchange for the fee interest in a property. As of December 31, 2008, no other limited partners with Class A Preferred Units have made a redemption election. Such redemption election may be made at any time and the Company is required to make such redemption on the second to last business day of the quarter in which such election is made, provided that the Company receives the redemption election at least ten business days prior to such date.
On January 15, 2009, the Company paid in full the DownREIT Partnership Redemption Obligation using proceeds from distributions from the Residual Joint Venture that were funded with borrowings from the Residual Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2008, the DownREIT

Partnership Redemption Obligation is shown as a liability of "Redemption Rights" in the balance sheet.
SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, requires that DownREIT Partnership Class A Preferred Units that became mandatorily redeemable by the Company pursuant to the terms of the DownREIT Partnership Agreement, should be classified as a liability in the consolidated financial statements. DownREIT Partnership Class A Preferred Units become mandatorily redeemable when the holder elects to redeem the units. As of December 31, 2008, 283,127 units had been redeemed by holders which were yet to be paid. Accordingly, $9.4 million of the total redemption amount payable relating to the DownREIT Partnership Class A Preferred Units has been classified as a liability as of December 31, 2008.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of real property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in their property or disposed of by them, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). Such liability may be imposed whether or not the Company knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of these hazardous or toxic substances. As is common with community and neighborhood shopping centers, many of the Company's properties had or have on-site dry cleaners and/or on-site gasoline facilities. These operations could potentially result in environmental contamination at the properties.
The Company is aware that soil and groundwater contamination exists at some of its properties. The primary contaminants of concern at these properties include perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene (associated with the operations of on-site dry cleaners) and petroleum hydrocarbons (associated with the operations of on-site gasoline facilities). The Company is also aware that asbestos-containing materials exist at some of its properties. While the Company does not expect the environmental conditions at its properties, considered as a whole, to have a material adverse effect on the Company, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Further, no assurance can be given that any environmental studies performed have identified or will identify all material environmental conditions, that any prior owner of the properties did not create a material environmental condition not known to the Company or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist with respect to any of the Company's properties.

21. Future Minimum Annual Base Rents
Future minimum annual base rental revenue for the next five years for the commercial real estate owned at December 31, 2008 and subject to non-cancelable operating leases is as follows (in thousands):
Year | | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
2009 | $ | 316,955 | ||

2012 | 194,913 | |||
2013 | 159,815 | |||
Thereafter | 517,986 |
The above table assumes that all leases which expire are not renewed and tenant renewal options are not exercised, therefore neither renewal rentals nor rentals from replacement tenants are included. Future minimum annual base rentals do not include contingent rentals, which may be received under certain leases on the basis of percentage of reported tenants' sales volume, increases in consumer price indices, common area maintenance charges and real estate tax reimbursements. The Company recognized approximately $85.3 million and $82.1 million of contingent rental income for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, respectively. The Predecessor recognized approximately $29.9 million of contingent rental income for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007. Additionally, the Predecessor recognized approximately $110.2 million contingent rental income for the year ended December 31, 2006.
22. Retirement Plan
The Company had, and the Predecessor had, a Retirement and 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") covering officers and employees of the Company. Participants in the Savings Plan may elect to contribute a portion of their earnings to the Savings Plan and the Company makes a matching contribution to the Savings Plan to a maximum of 3% of the employee's eligible compensation. With the distribution discussed at Note 1, the Company ceased making a matching contribution to the Savings Plan. The Company recorded approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million of expenses for the Savings Plan for the year ended December 31, 2008 and period from April 5, 2007 through December 31, 2007, respectively. The Predecessor recorded approximately $0.3 million of expenses for the Savings Plan for the period from January 1, 2007 through April 4, 2007. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Predecessor's expense for the Savings Plan was approximately $0.7 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
23. Fair Value (Continued)
provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. The Company has not elected to apply SFAS No. 159 and fair value any of the eligible financial assets and liabilities permitted under SFAS No. 159. The only financial assets recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2008 are those required to be fair valued under other accounting standards.
Fair Value Measurement
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Level 1 assets and liabilities include entity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government agency securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities. Level 2 assets are derivative instruments for which the fair value is estimated based on valuations obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Marketable Securities
The fair value of marketable securities is the market value based on both quoted market prices and other valuations.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as required by accounting standards other than SFAS No. 159, are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

- (1)
- The Company has elected to apply the deferral provision under FSP FAS 157-2 relating to disclosures for non-financial assets and liabilities that are fair valued on a non-recurring basis.
The investments accounted for under the equity method that have been impaired at December 31, 2008 are Arapahoe Crossings, L.P., Centro NP Residual Holding LLC, Centro GA America LLC, NP/I&G Institutional Retail Company, LLC, NP/I&G Institutional Retail Company II, LLC, NPK Redevelopment I, LLC, NP/SSP Baybrook, LLC, and Westgate Mall, LLC. The Company evaluates its investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in the value of its investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated based upon management's valuation of the underlying real estate assets and debt of the investment. The real estate assets were valued based upon a combination of internally developed valuation models and pricing outcomes from recent disposal discussions with potential buyers. This approach requires the Company to make significant judgments in respect to market capitalization rates and amounts of estimated future cash flows. Management has assessed the market capitalization rates of the properties, held by the equity accounted investments to have increased. The cause for the increase in market capitalization rates is in response to the developments in the economic outlook. Management believe the increase in market capitalization rates adopted as part of their impairment analysis is reflective of the market movement for strip retail centers during the year ended December 31, 2008.
The fair value of fixed rate debt held by the investments accounted for under the equity method was completed using an estimated market interest rate spread above the risk-free rate of 4.00%. Management believes this market interest rate spread is representative of debt that would currently be available to the entities. The significant decrease in risk free rates on debt during the three months ended December 31, 2008 has an unfavorable impact on the fair valuation of the debt of the investment.
The inputs into this valuation are considered level 3 inputs in accordance with SFAS No. 157.
24. Out of Period Adjustment
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a cumulative non-cash out of period adjustment which resulted in additional depreciation and amortization expense of $6.2��million and additional rental income of $0.5 million which pertains to prior periods.

CENTRO NP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES (THE "COMPANY")
(AS SUCCESSOR TO NEW PLAN EXCEL REALTY TRUST, INC. (THE "PREDECESSOR"))
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
24. Out of Period Adjustment (Continued)
The out of period adjustment arose due to the Company's failure in prior periods to write off intangible assets and below market lease liabilities relating to specific tenants (refer to Note 12 for information on the types of intangible assets) who exited prior to lease expiration. A tenant may exit a lease prior to lease expiration due to early lease termination or tenant bankruptcy.
The Company has undertaken an assessment of the impact of the adjustment needed to account for the write off of the intangible assets discussed above and has concluded that recording the adjustment in the results for the year ended December 31, 2008 rather than prior periods is quantitatively and qualitatively not material to the current period. The Company has also determined that the net depreciation and amortization expense and rental income which were not recorded in the following prior period results are not quantitatively or qualitatively material to the Company's financial statements for the period from April 5, 2007 to December 31, 2007.
