TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
As reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated and filed on February 27, 2007, the Company consummated the merger of its subsidiary with Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“IRRETI”) and the funding of the joint venture with TIAA-CREF (“TIAA-CREF Joint Venture”) and related financing arrangements associated with the transaction. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to update the pro forma financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and Form 8-K dated June 30, 2007 and filed on November 9, 2007 (which financial statements reflect the impact of property sales as discontinued operations pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 144 — “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”) for the year ended December 31, 2006.
On February 27, 2007, the Company and IRRETI consummated the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger, dated October 20, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, a subsidiary of the Company and IRRETI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired IRRETI for a total merger consideration of $14.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends for the month of February in cash, prorated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. As previously announced, the Company elected to pay the merger consideration to the IRRETI stockholders through a combination of $12.50 in cash and $1.50 in common shares of the Company, which equates to a 0.021569 common share of the Company. The Company acquired more than 300 assets at a total enterprise value of approximately $6.2 billion, including approximately $3.0 billion of value related to retail centers sold to the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture discussed below.
Immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company funded a joint venture with an affiliate of TIAA-CREF that purchased 66 community retail centers from IRRETI for approximately $3.0 billion in total asset value. An affiliate of TIAA-CREF contributed 85% of the equity in the joint venture, and an affiliate of the Company contributed 15% of the equity in the joint venture. In addition to its distributions from the joint venture, the Company will receive certain fees for asset management, leasing, property management, development/tenant coordination and an initial acquisition fee.
The consolidated financial statements of IRRETI for the three-year period ended December 31, 2006 were included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated and filed on February 27, 2007.
In June 2007, the Company sold 17 shopping center assets, previously acquired from IRRETI, to a third party.
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company formed DDR Domestic Retail Fund I (the “Fund”), a sponsored, fully-seeded commingled fund. The Fund acquired 63 shopping center assets aggregating 8.3 million square feet (the “Portfolio”) from the Company and a joint venture for approximately $1.5 billion. The Portfolio is comprised of 54 assets acquired by the Company through its acquisition of IRRETI, seven assets formerly held in a joint venture with Kuwait Financial Centre (“DDR Markaz LLC Joint Venture”), in which the Company had a 20% ownership interest, and two assets from the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio. As the Company does not have economic or effective control, the Fund is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments for the contribution of assets are reflected herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is presented as if (i) the merger with IRRETI and the funding for the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture and related financings and (ii) the transfer of 56 properties or interests therein to an effective 20% equity investment (the “Fund”) had occurred on January 1, 2006.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 is presented as if (i) the merger with IRRETI and the funding for the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture and related financings and (ii) the transfer of 56 properties or interests therein to an effective 20% equity investment (the “Fund”) had occurred on January 1, 2006.
The following unaudited pro forma information is based upon the historical consolidated results of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, giving effect to the items listed above. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and Form 8-K dated June 30, 2007 and filed on November 9, 2007 (which financial statements reflect the impact of property sales as discontinued operations pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 144 — “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”) for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been assuming the transactions had been completed as set forth above, nor do they purport to represent the Company’s results of operations for future periods. The Company accounted for the merger utilizing the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments relating to the merger are based on the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation and certain estimates. The Company engaged an appraiser to perform a valuation of the real estate and certain other assets, the results of which are expected to be completed before December 31, 2007. As a result, the amounts included in the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and subject to change. There can be no assurance that the final adjustments will not be materially different from those included herein.

(a) | | Represents the formation of the effective 15% Company owned TIAA-CREF Joint Venture which acquired 66 properties previously consolidated by IRRETI. All historic operating activity for the 66 properties has been eliminated due to the sale of the properties to the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. |
|
(b) | | Estimated management fee and asset management fee income assumed to be earned by the Company from the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. The management fee is based upon a contractual rate of 4% of IRRETI historical property revenues from the properties sold to the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. The asset management fee is based upon a contractual rate of 25 basis points of joint venture equity. |
|
(c) | | There has been no adjustment to IRRETI’s historical general and administrative expenses, which includes severance charges. However, Company management believes there will be a reduction in such expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in realizing anticipated costs savings. |

| | The acquisition cost with respect to IRRETI was partially funded by $750,000 in the bridge facility borrowing which bears interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points. The bridge facility was repaid in June 2007 through the sale of assets to third parties or equity affiliates. Approximately $446,542 of existing secured indebtedness was assumed at a weighted average market interest rate of approximately 5.4%. The remaining estimated funding of $480,174 was borrowed against the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and term loan which bore interest at LIBOR plus 60 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively. The Company subsequently entered into alternate financing arrangements, including a long-term debt financing and the sale of assets to third parties and equity affiliates, to refinance the above borrowings. |

| | Since the interest rates on the bridge facility, revolving credit facility and Term Loan are based on a spread over LIBOR, the rates will periodically change. If the interest rates on the incremental borrowings under these credit facilities increases or decreases by 12.5 basis points, the following adjustment would be made to interest expense for the twelve month period: |
| | | | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate increases 12.5 basis points | | $ | 1,538 | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate decreases 12.5 basis points | | $ | (1,538 | ) |
(g) | | Represents the estimated equity in net income from the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. The amount was calculated using the historical property revenues, operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses and other income. Depreciation and amortization expense was calculated based upon the estimated fair market value of the related assets and the estimated useful lives. The property management and asset management fees were calculated pursuant to the contractual rates (see note b). Interest expense was calculated based upon the fair market value of the assumed indebtedness and the stated fixed interest rates of the joint venture financing. A summary is as follows: |
| | | | |
Revenues from operations (historical results) | | $ | 38,687 | |
Rental operation expenses | | | (10,056 | ) |

If the interest rate on the incremental borrowing under this credit facility increases or decreases by 12.5 basis points, the following adjustment would be made to interest expense for the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture for the twelve month period: |
| | | | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate increases 12.5 basis points | | $ | 281 | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate decreases 12.5 basis points | | $ | (281 | ) |
(h) | | Represents preferred distributions relating to the $500 million of preferred units assuming the preferred units are outstanding for the period January 1, 2007 to the date of acquisition. The preferred units have an increasing floating distribution rate based upon LIBOR. This rate increases significantly if the preferred units are still outstanding after 180 days. The Company had the right to redeem the preferred units at any time at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the preferred units plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, subject to a discount of up to 3%. There is no discount if the preferred units are redeemed after 365 days from the date of issuance. As a result, the pro forma adjustment also includes the accretion expense associated with the full amount of the $15,750 in issuance costs since the preferred units are assumed to be outstanding through the period ended June 21, 2007. The Company redeemed the preferred units in June 2007 with proceeds from the sale of assets to third parties and contribution of assets to equity affiliates. |

The pro forma adjustments for the contribution of assets associated with the transfer of three wholly-owned properties to an effectively owned 10% non-controlling equity affiliate, Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Joint Venture, are not reflected herein as these assets were under development or in the lease-up phase during 2006 and, therefore, the 2007 operating results are not reflective of the future operations of the properties in the aggregate. |

The management fee is based upon a contractual rate of 4% of historical revenues for 56 wholly-owned assets contributed to the Fund. The other seven assets were transferred from an equity affiliate and as such, the Company’s management fee income from these assets is already included in the historical results of operations.

(a) | | Represents reclassifications of IRRETI historical results to break out other income and interest income in accordance with S-X rules and to conform to the Company’s financial statement presentation. The IRRETI income applicable to common shareholders from continuing operations of $3,221 represents gain on disposition of real estate. |
|
(b) | | Represents the formation of the effective 15% Company owned TIAA-CREF Joint Venture which acquired 66 properties previously consolidated by IRRETI. All historic operating activity for the 66 properties has been eliminated due to the sale of the properties to the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. |
|
(c) | | Estimated management fee and asset management fee income assumed to be earned by the Company from the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. The management fee is based upon a contractual rate of 4% of IRRETI historical property revenues from the properties sold to the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. The asset management fee is based upon a contractual rate of 25 basis points of joint venture equity. The acquisition fee is based upon a contractual rate of 25 basis points of the acquisition value of which the Company only recognizes revenue relating to the outside partner ownership interest of 85%. |
|
(d) | | There has been no adjustment to IRRETI’s historical general and administrative expenses. However, Company management believes there will be a reduction in such expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in realizing anticipated costs savings. |
|
(e) | | To reflect depreciation expense utilizing a 31.5 year life for buildings. Depreciation expense is calculated based on a preliminary purchase price allocation. The adjustment is calculated as follows: |
| | | | |
Fair market value of tangible real estate assets | | $ | 2,982,115 | |
Less: Non-depreciable real estate assets | | | (821,603 | ) |
| | | |

Depreciation expense based on 31.5 year life | | $ | 67,622 | |
Less: Depreciation expense recorded by IRRETI | | | (63,594 | ) |
| | | |
Depreciation expense adjustment | | $ | 4,028 | |
| | | |
| | The allocation of the fair market value of real estate assets between buildings and improvements and non-depreciable real estate, principally land, is preliminary and based upon certain estimates. |

Less: Amortization expense recorded by IRRETI | | | (10,434 | ) |

(g) | | To reflect the decrease in interest expense as follows: |
| | | | |
Eliminate historical interest expense reported by IRRETI | | $ | (121,419 | ) |
Record interest expense relating to the bridge facility (principal — $750,000) | | | 43,819 | |
Record interest expense associated with the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture investment borrowed under the Company’s revolving credit facility (principal — $183,281) | | | 10,433 | |
Record interest expense on the Company’s revolving credit facility (principal — $146,893) | | | 8,362 | |
Record interest expense on the Company’s term loan (principal — $150,000) | | | 8,689 | |

Capitalized interest on estimated assumed construction in progress | | | (1,693 | ) |
| | $ | (26,380 | ) |
| | | |
| | The acquisition cost with respect to IRRETI was partially funded by $750,000 in the bridge facility borrowing which bears interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points. The bridge facility was repaid in June 2007 through the sale of assets to third parties or equity affiliates. Approximately $446,542 of existing secured indebtedness was assumed at a weighted average market interest rate of approximately 5.4%. The remaining estimated funding of $480,174 was borrowed against the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and term loan which bore interest at LIBOR plus 60 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively. The Company subsequently entered into alternate financing arrangements, including a long-term debt financing and the sale of assets to third parties and equity affiliates, to refinance the above borrowings. |

| | Since the interest rates on the bridge facility, revolving credit facility and term loan are based on a spread over LIBOR, the rates will periodically change. If the interest rates on the incremental borrowings under these credit facilities increases or decreases by 12.5 basis points, the following adjustment would be made to interest expense: |
| | | | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate increases 12.5 basis points | | $ | 1,538 | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate decreases 12.5 basis points | | $ | (1,538 | ) |
(h) | | Represents the estimated equity in net income from the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture. The amount was calculated using the historical property revenues, operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses and other income. Depreciation and amortization expense was calculated based upon the estimated fair market value of the related assets and the estimated useful lives. The property management and asset management fees were calculated pursuant to the contractual rates (see note c). Interest expense was calculated based upon the fair market value of the assumed indebtedness and the stated fixed interest rates of the joint venture financing. A summary is as follows: |
| | | | |
Revenues from operations (historical results) | | $ | 250,918 | |
Rental operation expenses | | | (72,225 | ) |
Depreciation and amortization expense | | | (79,013 | ) |

| | | |
| | Since the interest rate on the TIAA-CREF revolving credit facility is based on a spread over LIBOR, the rate will periodically change. If the interest rate on the incremental borrowing under this credit facility increases or decreases by 12.5 basis points, the following adjustment would be made to interest expense for the TIAA-CREF Joint Venture: |
| | | | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate increases 12.5 basis points | | $ | 281 | |
Adjustment to interest expense if rate decreases 12.5 basis points | | $ | (281 | ) |
(i) | | Represents preferred distributions relating to the $500 million of preferred units assuming the preferred units are outstanding for the full 12 months in 2006. The preferred units have an increasing floating distribution rate based upon LIBOR. This rate increases significantly if the preferred units are still outstanding after 180 days. The Company had the right to redeem the preferred units at any time at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the preferred units plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, subject to a discount of up to 3%. There is no discount if the preferred units are redeemed after 365 days from the date of issuance. As a result, the pro forma adjustment also includes the accretion expense associated with the full amount of the $15,750 in issuance costs since the preferred units are assumed to be outstanding throughout 2006. The Company redeemed the preferred units in June 2007 with proceeds from the sale of assets to third parties and contribution of assets to equity affiliates. |

The pro forma adjustments for the contribution of assets associated with the transfer of three wholly-owned properties to an effectively owned 10% non-controlling equity affiliate, Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Joint Venture, are not reflected herein as these assets were under development or in the lease-up phase during 2006 and, therefore, the 2006 operating results are not reflective of the future operations of the properties in the aggregate. |

The other seven assets were transferred from an equity affiliate and as such, the Company’s management fee income from these assets is already included in the historical results of operations. The asset management fee is based upon a contractual rate of 0.75% of the Fund equity. |
|
