RAMCO-GERSHENSON PROPERTIES TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

     Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, acquiring, managing and leasing community shopping centers, regional malls and single tenant retail properties. At March 31, 2010, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 88 shopping centers, with approximately 19.8 million square feet of gross leaseable area (“GLA”), of which 15.3 million is owned by the Company, located in the Midwestern, Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. The Company’s centers are usually anchored by discount department stores or supermarkets and the tenant base consists primarily of national and regional retail chains and local retailers. The Company’s credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail industry.

     The economic performance and value of the Company’s real estate assets are subject to all the risks associated with owning and operating real estate, including risks related to adverse changes in national, regional and local economic and market conditions. The economic condition of each of the Company’s markets may be dependent on one or more industries. An economic downturn in one of these industries may result in a business downturn for the Company’s tenants, and as a result, these tenants may fail to make rental payments, decline to extend leases upon expiration, delay lease commencements or declare bankruptcy.

     The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC. These consolidated condensed financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

     In 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB for nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became nonauthoritative. Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. The FASB, instead, will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU” or “Update”), which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. The FASB’s Codification project did not change GAAP, however it changed the way the guidance is organized and presented. As a result, these changes had a significant impact on how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their accounting policies for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods. Any technical references contained in the accompanying interim condensed financial statements and notes to consolidated condensed financial statements have been updated to correspond to the new Codification topics, as appropriate. New standards not yet codified have been referenced as issued and will be updated when codified.

6

     Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (91.5% and 91.4% owned by the Company at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively), all wholly owned subsidiaries, including bankruptcy remote single purpose entities and all majority owned joint ventures over which the Company has control, and the variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Operating Partnership owns 100% of the non-voting and voting common stock of Ramco-Gershenson, Inc. (“Ramco”), and therefore it is included in the consolidated condensed financial statements. Ramco has elected to be a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes. Ramco provides property management services to the Company and to other entities. Investments in real estate joint ventures which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but for which the Company does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings from these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     New Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167 (“SFAS 167”), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, which was codified in ASU 2009-17. This standard amends guidance surrounding a company’s analysis to determine whether any of its variable interests constitute controlling financial interests in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics; a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The guidance was effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009.

     The Company consolidated the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture prospectively, effective January 1, 2010. The consolidation of the variable interest entity did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for more information on the consolidation of the variable interest entity.

     In January 2010, the FASB updated ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” with ASU 2010-06. The Update provides amendments and clarification to existing disclosure requirements in ASC 820-10 as follows:

a)	A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.
b)	A reporting entity should present gross information rather than net in its Level 3 fair value measurement reconciliation.
c)	A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of asset or liability. A class is often a subset of assets and liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. Judgment is required in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.
d)	A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.

     The new disclosure requirements and clarifications are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirements in item b) above. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the provisions of this Update in the first quarter of 2010. The new and clarified disclosures did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Refer to Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for more information on fair value measurements.

2. Accounts Receivable, Net

     Accounts receivable includes $17,552 and $17,144 of unbilled straight-line rent receivables, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, of $342 and $360 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

     The Company provides for bad debt expense based upon the allowance method of accounting. The Company monitors the collectability of its accounts receivable (billed and unbilled, including straight-line) from specific tenants, and analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in tenant payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. When tenants are in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims. The ultimate resolution of these claims can be delayed for one year or longer. Accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets is shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,691 and $3,288 (including the amounts related to the allowance for straight-line rent receivables discussed above) at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

     Accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 includes $1,282 and $1,296, respectively, due from Atlantic Realty Trust (“Atlantic”) for reimbursement of tax deficiencies, interest and other miscellaneous expenses related to the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) examination of the Company’s taxable years ended December 31, 1991 through 1995. Under terms of the tax agreement the Company entered into with Atlantic (the “Tax Agreement”), Atlantic assumed all of the Company’s liability for tax and interest arising out of that IRS examination. Effective June 30, 2006, Atlantic was merged into (acquired by) Kimco SI 1339, Inc. (formerly known as SI 1339, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kimco Realty Corporation (“Kimco”), with Kimco SI 1339, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation. By way of the merger, Kimco SI 1339, Inc. acquired Atlantic’s assets, subject to its liabilities, including its obligations to the Company under the Tax Agreement.

3.Investment in Real Estate, Net

     Investment in real estate consisted of the following:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
	(Unaudited)
Land	$	103,461		$	99,147
Buildings and improvements		820,444			818,142
Land held for development		96,318			69,936

		1,026,228			995,450
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization		(197,224	)		(191,155	)
Investment in real estate, net.	$	829,004		$	804,295

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

     Land held for development represents projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified by the Company and are available for future development if and when market conditions dictate the demand for a new shopping center. The increase in land held for development from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to the consolidation of the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC variable interest entity. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for information on the consolidation of the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture.

     Construction in progress represents existing development and redevelopment projects. When projects are substantially complete, balances are transferred to land or buildings and improvements as appropriate.

continues to negotiate the terms of an extension of the debt with the special servicer and anticipates having to pay a fee and pay down a portion of the outstanding balance to extend the debt. There can be no assurance that the joint venture entity will be able to refinance the debt on Cypress Point on commercially reasonable or any other terms. Based upon the 30% interest in the entity that owns Cypress Point, the Company’s share of the debt was $4,350 at March 31, 2010.

5. Consolidated Variable Interest Entity

     The Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture was formed primarily to acquire certain land parcels and to construct, develop, lease and operate a retail shopping center development called Hartland Towne Square, in Hartland, Michigan. The entity was established with approximately $3,100 of equity, of which 80% was contributed by an independent joint venture partner. The Company contributed the remaining 20%. The Company is also the manager of the entity and is responsible for the development, leasing and management of the project.

     In connection with the adoption of ASU 2009-17, the Company re-evaluated its interests in entities for the period beginning January 1, 2010 to determine if the interests are variable and that the entities are reflected properly in the financial statements as investments or consolidated entities. As a result of the qualitative and quantitative analysis performed, the Company determined that the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture, in which the Company has a 20% ownership interest and to which the Company, at March 31, 2010, had extended a mezzanine loan of $18,100, is a variable interest entity and that the Company has a controlling financial interest in the variable interest entity.

     During the first quarter 2010, a loan to the joint venture from a third party lender was reduced by $3,900 to $4,605. As a result of the reduction in third-party financing and additional costs incurred in development, the Company increased the mezzanine loan balance to the joint venture significantly to $18,100 and became responsible for providing the substantial majority of the entity’s capital. The combination of the reduction of the third party loan, the need for the Company to advance additional funds to the joint venture, and the inability of the entity to obtain additional independent construction or mezzanine financing, shifted the responsibility of financial control to the Company. The Company concluded that the joint venture entity met the criteria of a variable interest entity under the current accounting definition.

     The Company also determined that it had the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant through its equity interest and its mezzanine loan to the joint venture entity and the power to direct the significant activities of the entity, and was therefore the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. As the primary beneficiary, the Company was required to consolidate the joint venture entity in its consolidated financial statements. The Company consolidated the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture prospectively, effective January 1, 2010.

11

     Included in consolidated balances after appropriate eliminations were amounts related to the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture VIE at March 31, 2010 as follows:

	March 31,
	2010
	(Unaudited)
Assets
Investment in real estate, net	$	25,694
Other assets		111
Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
Mortgage notes payable	$	4,605
Other liabilities		236
Noncontrolling interest		2,298

     The mortgage note payable of $4,605 at March 31, 2010, is non-recourse, subject to certain exceptions. Therefore, the lender would not have recourse to the general credit of the Company if any loan losses were to be incurred.

     Investment in real estate of $25,694 related to the consolidated VIE comprises approximately 2.6% of the Company’s consolidated total assets at March 31, 2010. Mortgages and notes payable of $4,605 and noncontrolling interest of $2,298 related to the consolidated VIE comprise less than 1.0% of the Company’s consolidated total debt and total equity, respectively at March 31, 2010.

6. Other Assets, Net

     Other assets consisted of the following:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
	(Unaudited)
Deferred leasing costs	$	41,605		$	40,922
Deferred financing costs		11,063			10,525
Intangible assets		5,405			5,836
Other		6,213			6,162
		64,286			63,445

		25,018			25,679
Prepaid expenses and other		12,775			13,373
Other assets, net	$	37,793		$	39,052

     Intangible assets at March 31, 2010 include $4,095 of lease origination costs and $1,228 of favorable leases related to the allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions made since 2002. These assets are being amortized over the lives of the applicable leases as reductions or additions to minimum rent revenue, as appropriate, over the initial terms of the respective leases.

     At March 31, 2010 and 2009, $1,235 and $1,870, respectively, of intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization of $4,088 and $3,884, respectively, were included in other assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Included in net intangible assets at March 31, 2010 and 2009, were approximately $938 and $1,450, respectively, of lease origination costs and $297 and $420, respectively, of above-market leases. Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at March 31, 2010 and 2009 were intangible liabilities related to below-market leases of $315 and $662, respectively, and an adjustment to increase debt to fair market value in the amount of $212 and $510, respectively. The lease-related intangible assets and liabilities are being amortized or accreted over the terms of the acquired leases, which resulted in additional expense of approximately $31 and $31, respectively, and an increase in revenue of $238 and $43, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010

12

and 2009. The adjustment to the fair market value of debt decreased interest expense by $72 and $78 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

     The average amortization period for intangible assets attributable to lease origination costs and for favorable leases is 5.3 years and 4.5 years, respectively.

     Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization were $8,049 at March 31, 2010, compared to $8,056 at December 31, 2009. The Company recorded amortization of deferred financing costs of $523 and $168, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. This amortization has been recorded as interest expense in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The following table represents estimated future amortization expense related to other assets as of March 31, 2010 (unaudited):

Secured Term Loan Facility, with an interest rate at LIBOR plus 350 basis points with a 2.0% LIBOR floor, due June 2011, maximum borrowings $67,000. The effective rate at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 6.5%		67,000		67,000
Secured Revolving Credit Facility, with an interest rate at LIBOR plus 350 basis points with a 2.0% LIBOR floor, due December 2012, maximum borrowings $150,000. The effective rate at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 6.1% and 5.5%, respectively		67,500		92,036
Junior subordinated notes, unsecured, due January 2038, with an interest rate fixed until January 2013 when the notes are redeemable or the interest rate becomes LIBOR plus 330 basis points. The effective rate at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 7.9%		28,125		28,125
	$	565,421	$	552,551

     The mortgage notes, both fixed rate and floating rate, are secured by mortgages on properties that have an approximate net book value of $481,467 as of March 31, 2010.

     The Company has a $217,000 secured credit facility, (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $150,000 secured revolving credit facility and a $67,000 amortizing secured term loan facility. The Credit Facility provides that the secured revolving credit facility may be increased by up to $50,000 at the Company’s request, dependent upon there being one or more lenders willing to acquire the additional commitment, for a total secured credit facility commitment of $267,000. The secured revolving credit facility matures in December 2012 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis points with a 2% LIBOR floor. The amortizing secured term loan facility also bears interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis points with a 2% LIBOR floor and requires a $33,000 payment by September 2010 and a final payment of $34,000 by June 2011. The Credit Facility is secured by mortgages on various properties that have an approximate net book value of $277,608 as of March 31, 2010.

     The revolving credit facility secured by The Town Center at Aquia bears interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis points with a 2% LIBOR floor and matures in December 2010. A one-year extension option for $15,000 is available maturing December 2011. A second one-year extension option for $10,000 is available maturing December 2012.

     In March 2010, the Company closed on a $31,300 loan secured by mortgages on the West Oaks II and Spring Meadows shopping centers. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5% and matures in April 2020. Net proceeds from the loan were used primarily to pay down the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.

14

     It is anticipated that funds borrowed under the aforementioned Credit Facilities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, the repayment of indebtedness or other corporate activities.

     At March 31, 2010, outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, not reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets, totaled approximately $1,300. These letters of credit reduce the availability under the Credit Facility.

     The Credit Facility and the secured term loan contain financial covenants relating to total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, tangible net worth and various other calculations. As of March 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the covenant terms.

     The mortgage loans encumbering the Company’s properties, including properties held by its unconsolidated joint ventures, are generally non-recourse, subject to certain exceptions for which the Company would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, the Company would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses. At March 31, 2010, the mortgage debt of $11,000 at Peachtree Hill, a shopping center owned by Ramco 450 Venture LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has 20% ownership interest, is recourse debt. The loan is secured by unconditional guarantees of payment and performance by Ramco 450 Venture LLC, the Company, and the Operating Partnership.

     We have entered into mortgage loans which are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.

     Under terms of various debt agreements, the Company may be required to maintain interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate debt. The Company had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $100,000 at March 31, 2010. Based on rates in effect at March 31, 2010, the agreements provide for fixed rates ranging from 6.4% to 6.7% and expire December 2010.

     The following table presents scheduled principal payments on mortgages and notes payable as of March 31, 2010 (unaudited):

Year Ending December 31,
2010 (April 1 - December 31)	$	75,855
2011		87,133

2013		34,233
2014		32,871
Thereafter		233,164
Total	$	565,421

     With respect to the various fixed rate mortgages due in 2010, the Company is pursuing several options to repay or refinance these mortgages and notes payable, including, but not limited to using availability under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility or using proceeds from the financings of unencumbered assets. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance its debt on commercially reasonable or any other terms.

8. Fair Value

     The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) are recorded at fair value on a

15

recurring basis. Additionally, the Company, from time to time, may be required to record certain assets, such as impaired real estate assets, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Fair Value Hierarchy

     As required by accounting guidance for fair value measurements, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

     These levels are:

Level 1	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

     The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

     Derivative Assets and Liabilities

     All derivative instruments held by the Company are interest rate swaps for which quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the Company measures fair value on a recurring basis using valuation models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves. The Company classifies derivative instruments as recurring Level 2. Refer to Note 9 of the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for additional information on the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

     Investments in Real Estate

     The Company’s investments in real estate, including any identifiable intangible assets, are subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis. To estimate fair value, the company uses discounted cash flow models that include assumptions of the discount rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset. To the extent impairment has occurred, the Company charges to expense the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. The Company classifies impaired real estate assets as nonrecurring Level 3.

     Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

     The Company’s equity investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities are subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis if a decline in the fair value of the investment below the carrying amount is determined to be a decline that is other-than-temporary. To estimate the fair value of properties held by unconsolidated entities, the company uses cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates based upon assumptions of the rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset. To the extent other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the Company charges to expense the excess of the carrying value of the equity investment over its estimated fair value. The Company classifies other-than-temporarily impaired equity investments in unconsolidated entities as nonrecurring Level 3.

     The table below presents the recorded amount of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 (in thousands). The Company did not have any material assets that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2010.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments

     As of March 31, 2010, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $100,000. Under the terms of certain debt agreements, the Company is required to maintain interest rate swap agreements in an amount necessary to ensure that the Company’s variable rate debt does not exceed 25% of its assets, as computed under the agreements, to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. Based on rates in effect at March 31, 2010, the agreements provide for fixed rates ranging from 6.4% to 6.7% on a portion of the Company’s secured credit facility and expire December 2010.

     On the date the Company enters into an interest rate swap agreement for risk management purposes, the derivative is designated as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is determined to be highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued, as interest rates change, and recognized currently as interest expense in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. Refer to Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for additional information on the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

     We are a fully integrated, self-administered, publicly-traded REIT which owns, develops, acquires, manages and leases community shopping centers and one enclosed regional mall in the Midwestern, Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. At March 31, 2010, we owned interests in 88 shopping centers, comprised of 65 community centers, 21 power centers, one single tenant property, and one enclosed regional mall, totaling approximately 19.8 million square feet of gross leaseable area (“GLA”). We and our joint venture partners own approximately 15.3 million square feet of such GLA, with the remaining portion owned by various anchor stores.

     The Company believes it is best positioned to optimize shareholder value through a business strategy focused on the following initiatives:

• De-leverage the balance sheet and strengthen the Company’s financial position by utilizing a variety of measures including reducing debt through the sale of non-core assets, growth in shopping center operating income and other actions where appropriate

• Increase real estate value by aggressively leasing vacant spaces and entering into new leases for occupied spaces when leases are about to expire

• Complete value added redevelopment projects and time future accretive redevelopments in a manner that allows completed projects to positively impact operating income while new projects are undertaken

• Acquire shopping centers under the appropriate economic conditions that have the potential to produce superior returns and geographic market diversification

     The Company had no acquisition activity during the first quarter 2010. Future acquisition activity will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, the availability of capital to the Company, and the prospects for creating value at acquired properties.

     For the first quarter of 2010, the Company’s net income attributable to common shareholders was $2.0 million, excluding a one-time non-cash impairment charge of $2.7 million resulting from other-than-temporary declines in the fair market value of various equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, the Company consolidated the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture prospectively, effective January 1, 2010. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further information on the consolidation of this variable interest entity.

Leasing

     During the first quarter of 2010, the Company signed two new anchor leases including Old Navy in 21,675 square feet and Staples in 20,000 square feet. Old Navy will occupy the former OfficeMax space at the West Oaks I shopping center in Novi, Michigan. Staples signed a lease to fill the vacant Linens ‘n Things space at Shoppes of Lakeland in Lakeland, Florida. Additionally, the Company signed 16 new non-anchor leases in the first quarter of 2010 for new tenancies that will take occupancy in subsequent periods. All new leases totaled 140,170 square feet, at a decrease of 3.8% over prior rents paid.

     The Company renewed 79 non-anchor leases, at an average base rent of $13.62 per square foot, a decrease of 10.6% over prior rental rates. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company also renewed 10 anchor leases, at an average base rent of $6.13 per square foot as compared to prior rents paid of $7.93 per square foot. Compared to the same period in the prior year, the combination of new leases, renewals and contractual rent escalations increased the Company’s overall portfolio average base rents to $10.90 per square foot in the first quarter of 2010 from $10.82 per square foot for the first quarter of 2009.

     The Company’s core operating portfolio, which excludes joint venture properties and properties under redevelopment, was 91.0% occupied at March 31, 2010, compared to 93.9% at March 31, 2009. Overall portfolio

22

occupancy, which includes joint venture properties and properties under redevelopment, was 89.5% at March 31, 2010, compared to 90.9% at March 31, 2009.

Redevelopment

     During the first quarter 2010, the Company delivered three redevelopment projects anchored by Ross Dress for Less, Beall’s, and CVS. We and our joint ventures have five redevelopments currently in progress, all with signed leases for the expansion or addition of an anchor or out-lot tenant. The Company estimates the total project costs of the five redevelopment projects in process to be $37.6 million. Two of the redevelopments involve core operating properties included on our balance sheet and are expected to cost approximately $16.1 million of which $11.8 million has been spent as of March 31, 2010. For the three redevelopment projects at properties held by joint ventures, the Company estimates off-balance sheet project costs of approximately $21.4 million (our share is estimated to be $6.2 million) of which $16.0 million has been spent as of March 31, 2010 (our share is $4.7 million). Of the five redevelopment projects presently in progress, all are partially complete and have anchor tenants in place generating revenue for the Company. The Company expects that small shop tenancies will come on-line and the redevelopment projects will be completed throughout the second half of 2010.

     While we anticipate redevelopments will increase rental revenue upon completion, a majority of the projects required taking some retail space off-line to accommodate the new or expanded tenancies. These measures have resulted in the loss of rents and recoveries from tenants for those spaces removed from our pool of leasable space. The process of value-added redevelopment resulted in a short-term temporary reduction of net operating income and funds from operations (“FFO”). Upon completion of the redevelopment projects, the Company expects that revenues related to our share of these projects will increase.

Development

     At March 31, 2010, the Company had four projects under development and pre-development. In the first quarter of 2010, after a thorough review of the opening schedules for the proposed anchors, the Company determined it was appropriate to discontinue the capitalization of interest costs and real estate taxes at its development projects. As a result of slower anchor leasing, activities at the four development projects were curtailed in the first quarter 2010 and are not expected to resume in earnest until substantial pre-leasing and other hurdles to moving forward with construction have been met. As of March 31, 2010, we and one of our joint ventures have spent $96.3 million on the developments, including certain land parcels we own through taxable REIT subsidiaries.

     At March 31, 2010, the Company’s land held for development consisted of:

	Costs
	Incurred
Development Project/Location	to Date
Hartland Towne Square — Hartland Twp., MI	$	37,600
The Town Center at Aquia — Stafford, VA		15,600	(1)
Gateway Commons — Lakeland, FL		23,900
Parkway Shops — Jacksonville, FL		13,300
Other		5,900
	$	96,300

(1) Excludes $21,700 of carrying value of buildings and other assets that the Company intends to redevelop or demolish when the project commences.

     The Company owns a controlling 20% interest in the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture that is developing Hartland Towne Square. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company consolidated the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture in accordance with accounting guidance for variable interest entities. For further information on the consolidation of the Ramco RM Hartland SC LLC joint venture, refer to Note 5 of the consolidated condensed financial statements.

23

     It is the Company’s policy to only start vertical construction on new development projects after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor commitments, construction financing and joint venture partner commitments, if appropriate. We are in the entitlement and pre-leasing phases at the development projects listed above. The Company does not expect to secure financing and to identify joint venture partners until the entitlement and pre-leasing phases are complete.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Trustees. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, recoverable amounts of receivables and initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions. The following discussion relates to what we believe to be our most critical accounting policies that require our most subjective or complex judgment.

     Allowance for Bad Debts

     We provide for bad debt expense based upon the allowance method of accounting. We continuously monitor the collectibility of our accounts receivable (billed and unbilled, including straight-line) from specific tenants, analyze historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in tenant payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for bad debts. When tenants are in bankruptcy, we make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims. The period to resolve these claims can exceed one year. Management believes the allowance is adequate to absorb currently estimated bad debts. However, if we experience bad debts in excess of the allowance we have established, our operating income would be reduced.

     Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Investments in Real Estate

     The Company reviews its investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the remaining estimated useful lives of those assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. For operating properties, these changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, geographic location, real estate values, and management’s intentions related to the operating properties. For development projects, including land held for development, these changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in construction costs, absorption rates, market rents, the market for land sales, real estate values, and management’s intentions related to the projects.

     The Company recognizes an impairment of an investment in real estate when the estimated undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying value of the property. If it is determined that an investment in real estate is impaired, then the Company’s carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as determined by cash flow models and discount rates or comparable sales in accordance with our fair value measurement policy.

     Determining whether an investment in real estate is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment requires considerable management judgment. In the event that management changes its intended holding period for an investment in real estate, an impairment may result even without any other event or change in circumstances related

24

to that investment. For example, a determination to sell land held for development rather than to develop the land and hold the developed asset may result in impairment. Under certain circumstances, management may use probability-weighted scenarios related to an investment in real estate, and the use of such analysis may also result in impairment. Impairments resulting from any event or change in circumstances, including changes in management’s intentions or management’s analysis of varying scenarios, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

     At March 31, 2010, the Company prepared undiscounted cash flow projections for eight shopping center properties that met management’s criteria for possible impairment testing. In all instances, the non-discounted cash flows exceeded the recorded carrying amounts of those individual properties by at least 120% of the carrying value. Therefore none of the properties met the standards for impairment of long-lived assets.

     In determining the estimated useful lives of intangible assets with finite lives, we consider the nature, life cycle position, and historical and expected future operating cash flows of each asset, as well as our commitment to support these assets through continued investment.

     Revenue Recognition

     Shopping center space is generally leased to retail tenants under leases which are accounted for as operating leases. We recognize minimum rents using the straight-line method over the terms of the leases commencing when the tenant takes possession of the space. Certain of the leases also provide for additional revenue based on contingent percentage income which is recorded on an accrual basis once the specified target that triggers this type of income is achieved. The leases also typically provide for recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses. These recoveries are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Revenues from fees and management income are recognized in the period in which the services have been provided and the earnings process is complete. Lease termination income is recognized when a lease termination agreement is executed by the parties and the tenant vacates the space.

     Share-Based Compensation

     All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements as compensation expense based upon the fair value on the grant date. We determine fair value of such awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates certain assumptions such as risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of options, in order to arrive at a fair value estimate. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common shares. Expected lives of options are based on the average expected holding period of our outstanding options and their remaining terms. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States treasury debt securities. The expected dividend yield is based on our historical dividend rates. We believe the assumptions selected by management are reasonable; however, significant changes could materially impact the results of the calculation of fair value.

     Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

     The Company has nine equity investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities in which we own 50% or less of the total ownership interests. These investments are accounted for under the equity method. The Company provides leasing, development and property management services to these joint ventures. Our level of control of these joint ventures is such that we are not required to include them as consolidated subsidiaries. Refer to Note 4 of the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further information.

     The Company reviews its equity investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment on a venture-by-venture basis whenever events of changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the equity investment may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, declines in real estate values, interest rates, or net operating income and occupancy of the properties held in the unconsolidated joint venture. The Company records an impairment charge when it determines that a decline in value is other than temporary.

     In testing for impairment of equity investments in unconsolidated entities, the Company uses cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates to estimate fair values of properties held in joint ventures, and marks the debt of the joint ventures to market. Determining whether an equity investment in an unconsolidated entity is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment requires considerable management judgment. Changes to assumptions

25

regarding cash flows, discount rates, or capitalization rates could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

     In the first quarter 2010, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2.7 million resulting from other-than-temporary declines in the fair market value of various equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

     For purposes of comparison between the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, “Same Center” refers to the shopping center properties owned by consolidated entities as of January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010. Included in “Same Center” in 2010 is the impact of the sales of two net leased Wal-Mart stores in the third quarter of 2009.

     For purposes of comparison between the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, “Redevelopments” refers to any shopping center properties under redevelopment during the period from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.

     Revenues

     Total revenues decreased $1.1 million, or 3.3%, to $30.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $31.9 million in 2009. The decrease in total revenues was primarily the result of a $0.7 million decrease in minimum rents and a $1.2 million decrease in recoveries from tenants, partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in other property income.

     Minimum rents decreased $0.7 million, or 3.2%, to $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as follows:

	Increase (Decrease)
	Amount
	(in millions)			Percentage
Same Center	$	(1.0	)		(4.5	%)
Redevelopments		0.3			1.3	%
	$	(0.7	)		(3.2	%)

     The decrease in Same Center minimum rents from the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to approximately $0.8 million in decreases related to tenant vacancies, approximately $0.2 million in decreases related to tenant bankruptcies, including Circuit City, rent relief and other concessions granted of $0.2 million, and the impact of the sale of the two net leased Wal-Marts in the third quarter of 2009 of $0.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million due to increased rental rates on new or renewal leases.

     Bankruptcies impact our allowance for doubtful accounts and the related bad debt expense at the time the tenant files for bankruptcy protection. When tenants are in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts to the appropriate estimated amount. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company increased the allowance for doubtful accounts due by approximately $0.2 million as a result of Linens ‘n Things changing from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 bankruptcy status.

26

     Recoveries from tenants decreased $1.2 million, or 13.6%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as follows:

	Increase (Decrease)
	Amount
	(in millions)			Percentage
Same Center	$	(1.1	)		(12.0	%)
Redevelopments		(0.1	)		(1.6	%)
	$	(1.2	)		(13.6	%)

     The decrease in recoveries from tenants for the Same Center properties was due primarily to adjustments to prior year recoveries at certain of our shopping centers, as well as lower contracted operating services, such as snow removal, in the first quarter 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The overall property operating expense recovery ratio was 91.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 98.9% for the same period in the prior year. During the year, the Company estimates the recovery ratio, by property, based on current facts and circumstances. In the first quarter of the subsequent year, the final billings to our tenants are calculated and any required adjustments are recorded at that time. Therefore, billings to tenants will vary from year to year.

     Recoverable operating expenses, which includes real estate tax expense, are a component of our recovery ratio. These expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 6.9%, to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as follows:

	Increase (Decrease)
	Amount
	(in millions)			Percentage
Same Center	$	(0.9	)		(10.4	%)
Redevelopments		0.3			3.5	%
	$	(0.6	)		(6.9	%)

     The decrease in Same Center recoverable operating expenses was due primarily to lower contracted operating services, such as snow removal, at certain of our shopping centers in the first quarter 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

     Other property income increased $1.0 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in lease termination fees. The increase in lease termination income was mostly attributable to income earned in the first quarter of 2010 for terminations at two of our shopping centers.

     Fees and management income remained unchanged at $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in the prior year.

     Expenses

     Total operating expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 2.5%, to $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in recoverable operating expenses of $0.6 million.

     Other property operating expenses were $1.0 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

     Depreciation and amortization remained relatively unchanged at $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in the prior year.

     General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. An increase in professional and consulting fees of $0.1 million was offset by a decrease in total salaries and benefits expense of $0.1 million, mainly attributable to a reversal of an expense accrual in the first quarter of 2010 for long-term compensation that the Company no longer expects to pay.

27

     Other Income and Expenses

     Other expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to other income of $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily due to the expensing of real estate taxes on the Company’s ground-up development projects in the first quarter of 2010. Similar costs were capitalized in the first quarter of 2009.

     Gain on sale of real estate assets decreased $0.3 million due to the sale of an outlot parcel in the first quarter of 2009 with no comparable sales made in the first three months of 2010.

     Earnings from unconsolidated entities represents our proportionate share of the earnings of various joint ventures in which we have an ownership interest. Earnings from unconsolidated entities increased approximately $0.4 million from approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, earnings from unconsolidated entities increased approximately $0.5 million from the Ramco/Lion Venture LP joint venture. The increase in the Ramco/Lion Venture LP joint venture was mainly attributable to a termination fee related to the Albertson’s lease at Mission Bay Plaza in Boca Raton, Florida.

     Interest expense increased $0.6 million, or 7.8%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $8.1 million in 2009. The summary below identifies the components of the net increase (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,						Increase
	2010			2009			(Decrease)
Average total loan balance	$	559,575		$	665,305		$	(105,730	)
Average rate		6.1	%		5.0	%		1.2	%
Total interest on debt	$	8,540		$	8,236		$	304
Amortization of loan fees		523			168			355
Interest on capital lease obligation		100			104			(4	)
Capitalized interest and other		(429	)		(404	)		(25	)
	$	8,734		$	8,104		$	630

     In the first quarter 2010, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2.7 million resulting from other-than-temporary declines in the fair market value of various equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

     Restructuring costs, impairment of real estate assets and other items included $0.4 million of severance and other benefit-related costs related to employees who were terminated during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. No similar restructuring costs were incurred in the first quarter of 2010.

     Noncontrolling interest represents the equity in income attributable to the portion of the Operating Partnership and the joint venture developing Hartland Towne Square not owned by us. Noncontrolling interest for the first quarter of 2010 decreased $1.1 million, as compared to the first quarter of 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of the lower net income in 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009, as well as the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss related to the joint venture developing Hartland Towne Square, which the Company consolidated prospectively in the first quarter of 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The principal uses of our liquidity and capital resources are for operations, developments, redevelopments, including expansion and renovation programs, selective acquisitions, and debt repayment, as well as dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements. We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand and cash

28

retained from operations, the availability under our Credit Facility, additional financings, equity offerings, and the sale of existing properties will satisfy our expected working capital requirements through at least the next 12 months and allow us to achieve continued growth. Although we believe that the combination of factors discussed above will provide sufficient liquidity, no such assurance can be given.

     As opportunities arise and market conditions permit, we will continue to pursue the strategy of selling mature properties or non-core assets which have less potential for growth or are not viable for redevelopment. Our ability to obtain acceptable selling prices and satisfactory terms and financing will impact the timing of future sales. The Company expects any net proceeds from the sale of properties would be used to reduce outstanding debt.

The following is a summary of our cash flow activities (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2010			2009
	(Unaudited)
Cash provided from operations	$	5,394		$	11,200
Cash used in investing activities		(7,645	)		(6,542	)
Cash used in financing activities		(1,815	)		(2,007	)

     For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company generated $5.4 million in cash flows from operating activities, as compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2009. Cash flows from operating activities were lower during the three months ended March 31, 2010 mainly due to higher net cash outflows for accounts payable and accrued expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, investing activities used $7.6 million of cash flows, as compared to $6.5 million used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cash flows used in investing activities were slightly higher in the first quarter 2010, due to higher investments in real estate, offset by lower investments in unconsolidated entities. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash flows used in financing activities were $1.8 million, as compared to $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company had higher distributions to common shareholders and Operating Partnership unit holders due to more shares outstanding, offset by higher net borrowings on mortgage and notes payable as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Dividends

     Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), as a REIT we must distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain. Distributions paid are at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and depend on our actual net income available to common shareholders, cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, restrictions in financing arrangements, the annual distribution requirements under REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.

     We declared a quarterly cash dividend distribution of $0.16325 per common share paid to shareholders of record on March 20, 2010, as compared to the dividend paid in the same quarter of 2009 of $0.23125 per share. To strengthen the Company’s liquidity position, the Board of Trustees elected to keep the aggregate distribution dollars constant when additional common shares were issued in September 2009. Therefore, the distribution per common share was reduced in proportion to the new common shares issued, to $0.16325 per common share in the third quarter of 2009. Our dividend policy has not changed in that we expect to continue making distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, in order to maintain qualification as a REIT. On an annualized basis, our current dividend is above our estimated minimum required distribution.

     Distributions paid by the Company are funded from cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that cash flows from operating activities were insufficient to pay total distributions for any period, alternative funding sources are used as shown in the following table. Examples of alternative funding sources may include proceeds from sales of real estate assets and bank borrowings. Although the Company may use alternative sources of cash to fund distributions in a given period, we expect that distribution requirements for an entire year will be met with cash flows from operating activities.

Debt

     In March 2010, the Company closed on a $31.3 million loan secured by mortgages on the West Oaks II and Spring Meadows shopping centers. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5% and matures in April 2020. Net proceeds from the loan were used primarily to pay down the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.

     It is anticipated that funds borrowed under the Company’s credit facilities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, the repayment of indebtedness or other corporate activities. For further information on the credit facilities and other debt refer to Note 7 of the consolidated condensed financial statements.

     Under terms of various debt agreements, we may be required to maintain interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating rate debt. We have interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million at March 31, 2010. Based on rates in effect at March 31, 2010, the agreements provide for fixed rates ranging from 6.4% to 6.7% and expire December 2010.

     After taking into account the impact of converting our variable rate debt into fixed rate debt by use of the interest rate swap agreements, at March 31, 2010 our variable rate debt accounted for approximately $76.1 million of outstanding debt with a weighted average interest rate of 5.5%. Variable rate debt accounted for approximately 13.5% of our total debt and 8.1% of our total capitalization.

     We have $537.3 million of mortgage loans, both fixed and floating rate, encumbering our consolidated properties, including $153.3 million of mortgage loans under the Company’s secured credit facilities. Such mortgage loans are generally non-recourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain of such events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, we would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, penalties and expenses. The Company also has $516.2 million of mortgage loans on properties held by our unconsolidated joint ventures (of which our pro rata share is $134.3 million).

     The unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest, and which are accounted for by the equity method of accounting, are subject to mortgage indebtedness, which in most instances is non-recourse. At March 31, 2010, mortgage debt for the unconsolidated joint ventures was $516.2 million, of which our pro rata share was $134.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. Fixed rate debt for the unconsolidated joint ventures was $495.7 million at March 31, 2010. Our pro rata share of fixed rate debt for the

30

unconsolidated joint ventures amounted to $130.3 million. Fixed rate debt represented 97.0% of our total pro rata share of debt from unconsolidated entities at March 31, 2010. The mortgage debt of $11.0 million at Peachtree Hill, a shopping center owned by our Ramco 450 Venture LLC, is recourse debt. The loan is secured by unconditional guarantees of payment and performance by Ramco 450 Venture LLC, the Company, and the Operating Partnership.

Contractual Obligations

     The following are our contractual cash obligations as of March 31, 2010 due within the next 12 months (dollars in thousands):

Contractual Obligations	Total
Mortgages and notes payable, principal	$	77,197
Interest on mortgages and notes payable		33,692
Employment contracts		842
Capital lease		677
Operating leases		910
Unconditional construction cost obligations		2,796
Total contractual cash obligations	$	116,114

     We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operating activities, the availability under the Credit Facility ($81.2 million at March 31, 2010, plus up to an additional $50 million dependent upon there being one or more lenders willing to acquire the additional commitment), our access to the capital markets and the sale of existing properties will satisfy our expected working capital requirements through at least the next 12 months. Although we believe that the combination of factors discussed above will provide sufficient liquidity, no assurance can be given.

Planned Capital Spending

     The Company is focusing on its core strengths of enhancing the value of our existing portfolio of shopping centers through successful leasing efforts and completing those redevelopment projects in 2010 that are currently in process. In addition, during the first quarter of 2010, there was no acquisition activity.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we spent approximately $6.3 million on capital expenditures including tenant allowances, leasing commissions paid to third-party brokers, legal costs related to lease documents, capitalized leasing and construction costs, renovations, and roof and parking lot repairs.

     For the remainder of 2010, we anticipate spending approximately $17.4 million for capital expenditures, including approximately $5.6 million for redevelopment projects.

Capitalization

     At March 31, 2010, our market capitalization amounted to $942.9 million. Our market capitalization consisted of $565.4 million of debt (including property-specific mortgages, a secured Credit Facility consisting of a secured term loan credit facility and a secured revolving credit facility, the secured revolving credit facility on The Town Center at Aquia, and Junior Subordinated Notes), and $382.3 million of common shares (based on the closing price of $11.26 per share at March 31, 2010) and Operating Partnership Units at market value. Our net debt to total market capitalization was 59.5% at March 31, 2010, as compared to 62.8% at December 31, 2009. The decrease in total net debt to market capitalization was due to the impact of the increase in the price per common share from $9.54 at December 31, 2009 to $11.26 at March 31, 2010. After taking into account the impact of converting our variable rate debt into fixed rate debt by use of interest rate swap agreements, our outstanding debt at March 31, 2010 had a weighted average interest rate of 6.1%, and consisted of $489.3 million of fixed rate debt and $76.1 million of variable rate debt. Outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility totaled approximately $1.3 million at March 31, 2010.

     At March 31, 2010, the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership represented an 8.6% ownership in the Operating Partnership. The OP Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for our common shares of

31

beneficial interest on a one-for-one basis. We, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, have the option, but not the obligation, to settle exchanged OP Units held by others in cash based on the current trading price of our common shares of beneficial interest. Assuming the exchange of all OP Units, there would have been 33,949,001 of our common shares of beneficial interest outstanding at March 31, 2010, with a market value of approximately $382.3 million.

Inflation

     Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the results of our operations. Should inflation rates increase in the future, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require our tenants to reimburse us for real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses we incur. Also, many of our leases provide for periodic increases in base rent which are either of a fixed amount or based on changes in the consumer price index and/or percentage rents (where the tenant pays us rent based on a percentage of its sales). Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on our business.

Funds from Operations

     We consider funds from operations, also known as “FFO,” an appropriate supplemental measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. Under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) definition, FFO represents net income attributable to common shareholders, excluding extraordinary items (as defined under GAAP) and gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate investments, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions and many companies utilize different depreciable lives and methods. Because FFO adds back depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, and excludes gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities and interest costs, which provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO does not include the cost of capital improvements, including capitalized interest.

     For the reasons described above we believe that FFO provides us and our investors with an important indicator of our operating performance. This measure of performance is used by us for several business purposes and for REITs it provides a recognized measure of performance other than GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders, which may include non-cash items. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner.

     We recognize FFO’s limitations when compared to GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders. FFO does not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is simply used as an additional indicator of our operating performance.

Forward Looking Statements

     This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations, plans or beliefs concerning future events and may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “predict” or similar terms. Although the forward-looking statements made in this document are based on our good faith beliefs, reasonable assumptions and our best judgment based upon current information, certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including: our success or failure in implementing our business strategy; economic conditions generally and in the commercial real estate and finance markets specifically; our cost of capital, which depends in part on our asset quality, our relationships with lenders and other capital providers; our business prospects and outlook; changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters; our continuing to qualify as a REIT; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     We have exposure to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt obligations. We are not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or other material rate or price risks. Based on our debt and interest rates and the interest rate swap agreements in effect at March 31, 2010, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would affect our annual earnings and cash flows by between approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million.

     Under the terms of various debt agreements, we may be required to maintain interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rate on our floating rate debt. We have interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million at March 31, 2010. Based on rates in effect at March 31, 2010, the agreements provide for fixed rates ranging from 6.4% to 6.7% and expire December 2010.

     The following table presents information as of March 31, 2010 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts and fair market value (dollars in thousands).

																						Estimated
	2010			2011			2012			2013			2014			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
Fixed-rate debt	$	53,753		$	60,667		$	74,665		$	34,233		$	32,871		$	233,164		$	489,353		$	476,197
Average interest rate		7.0	%		7.0	%		6.6	%		5.6	%		5.5	%		5.8	%		6.2	%		6.2	%
Variable-rate debt	$	22,102		$	26,466		$	27,500		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	76,068		$	76,068
Average interest rate		5.5	%		5.6	%		5.5	%		—			—			—			5.5	%		5.5	%

     We estimated the fair value of fixed rate mortgages using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment is required to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. The table incorporates only those exposures that existed at March 31, 2010 and does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date or firm commitments as of such date. Therefore, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. Our actual interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and therefore management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

     We carried out an assessment as of March 31, 2010 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This assessment was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     There are no material pending legal or governmental proceedings, other than the IRS Examination, against or involving us or our properties. For a description of the IRS Examination, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements).

Item 1A. Risk Factors

     You should review our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which contains a detailed description of risk factors that may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, in addition to the following risk factor:

We are engaged in the development of new properties, and this activity is subject to various risks.

     We pursue development activities as opportunities arise, and these activities are subject to the following risks:

• the pre-construction phase for a development project typically extends over several years, and the time to obtain anchor commitments, zoning and regulatory approvals, and financing can vary significantly from project to project;

• we may not be able to obtain the necessary zoning or other governmental approvals for a project, or we may determine that the expected return on a project is not sufficient. If we abandon our development activities with respect to a particular project, we may incur an impairment loss on our investment;

• construction and other project costs may exceed our original estimates because of increases in material and labor costs, delays and costs to obtain anchor and other tenant commitments;

• we may not be able to obtain financing or to refinance construction loans, which are generally recourse to us; and

• occupancy rates and rents, as well as occupancy costs and expenses, at a completed project may not meet our projections, and the costs of development activities that we explore but ultimately abandon will, to some extent, diminish the overall return on our completed development projects.

     If any of these events occur, our development activities may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
