Independent Auditor’s Report
To DDR TC LLC
and TREA Retail Property Portfolio 2006 LLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of DDRTC Core Retail Fund, LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of members’ capital and of cash flows for the year then ended.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DDRTC Core Retail Fund, LLC and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Organization of Company
Background
DDRTC Core Retail Fund, LLC (the “Company”) was formed in the state of Delaware on November 3, 2006 to acquire, own, lease and manage shopping centers located across the United States (see Properties below). The Company’s members are DDR TC LLC (“DDR TC”) and TREA Retail Property Portfolio 2006 LLC (“TREA”). DDR TC and TREA are collectively referred to as the “Members”. DDR TC and TREA have a 15% and 85% membership interest, respectively, and are collectively referred to as the “Membership Interests”. DDR TC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DDR Corp. (“DDR”).
DDR TC is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company as the Operating Member. The Company has engaged DDR Property Management LLC (“DDRPM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DDR, and DDR to act as the Property Manager.
Nature of Business
The Company is engaged in the business of owning shopping centers. The tenant base includes primarily national retail chains and local retailers. Consequently, the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry. Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of some existing tenants of the Company to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract and retain tenants.
The Properties
The Company owned 27, 39 and 41 properties in 12, 13 and 13 states as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively (the “Properties”), which are each owned by a wholly-owned single member Limited Liability Company. The total GLA of the Properties is 9,069,372 square feet (unaudited), 10,757,718 square feet (unaudited) and 11,598,483 square feet (unaudited) as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company sold 12, two and two properties in 2013, 2012 and 2011 for a gross sales price of $242,430,000, $116,250,000 and $23,424,150, respectively. Additionally, the Company conveyed one property in Aiken, SC during the year ended December 31, 2011.
In 2012, the Company received final condemnation proceeds of $381,064, net, related to land that was condemned by the State of Florida Department of Transportation.

Significant Membership Terms
The Company’s significant membership terms are governed by the Limited Liability Company Agreement of DDRTC Core Retail Fund, LLC dated November 3, 2006 (“agreement”). The Company’s net profits are allocated to the Members i) first, to restore any negative capital balances to zero; ii) second, to the Members in proportion to their Membership Interests, as defined in the membership agreement, until each Member receives an internal return of 10% per annum on its unreturned capital; and iii) thereafter, all remaining profits 20% to DDR TC and 80% to DDR TC and TREA in proportion to their membership interests.
The Company’s net losses are allocated to the Members i) first, to the extent profits have been allocated to the Members, in reverse order 20% to DDR TC and 80% to DDR TC and TREA in proportion to their membership interests until profits have been fully offset; ii) second, to the extent profits have been allocated, in reverse order to Members in proportion to the amounts necessary so that the capital account balance of each Member is reduced to zero; and iii) thereafter, to the Members pro-rata in accordance with their respective membership interests.
The Company’s cash flows are distributed i) first, to the Members pro-rata in accordance with their membership interests until each Member receives an internal return of 10% on its unreturned capital; and, ii) thereafter, all remaining cash flows 20% to DDR TC and 80% to DDR TC and TREA in proportion to their membership interests.
The Company’s liquidation distributions are allocated to the Members proportionally in accordance with the positive balances in their capital accounts, until all Member capital accounts are reduced to zero.
The term of the Company is in perpetuity unless earlier dissolved and terminated under the governing documents of the membership agreement.
Either Member has the right to initiate a marketing notice, as defined by the Agreement, to market any or all of the underlying Properties. The initiating member must define the selling agent and the applicable properties. The other member has 10 business days to propose the purchase of one or more of the properties (“the initial offer”). The initiating member has 10 business days to accept or reject the initial offer. If the initiating member rejects the initial offer in writing, the Properties may be sold to a third party for 102.5% or more of the initial offer provided by the other member. If a third party offer is not greater than 102.5% of the initial offer, the initiating member must reoffer the properties subject to the marketing notice to the other member based upon the third party offer obtained. The other member must reply to the reoffer within 15 days or be deemed to have rejected the reoffer. Sales to Members are required to be consummated within 60 days.
Either Member has the right to initiate a buy-sell notice, as defined by the agreement, to sell its membership interest. The initiating member must define the value of the Company’s assets and a

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DDRTC Core Retail Fund, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are provided for the properties on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the tangible assets as follows:
Building and building improvements | 5 to 31.5 years | |
Tenant improvements | Useful lives, which approximate lease terms, where applicable |
Depreciation expense was $48,478,629, $49,602,171 and $57,288,444 which includes $35,614, $347,137 and $730,612 related to the write-off of undepreciated basis associated with the early termination of tenant leases for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant expenditures, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized.
The Company reviews its real estate assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired when the undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying value. The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates made by management and is based on the most likely expected course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information. The determination of anticipated cash flows is inherently subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding holding periods, future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. If such impairment is present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. See Note 10 for a discussion related to impairment charges.

(Information for the Years Ended December 31, 2012
and 2011 not Covered by Auditor’s Report)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits with a major financial institution from which time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institution and believes that the risk of loss is minimal.
Restricted Cash
Pursuant to the provisions within the Company’s mortgage notes payable, funds are required to be held in escrow related to the payment of real estate taxes, insurance, and various capital expenditures. Such amounts are classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are capitalized and amortized. Amortization expense was $1,171,103, $1,204,976 and $744,342 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Deferred Lease Costs
Deferred lease costs represent direct costs paid to enter into tenant leases and are amortized over the related lease term. Amortization expense was $2,004,777, $2,022,337 and $1,617,165 which includes $55,885, $155,662 and $277,146 related to the write-off of unamortized costs associated with the early termination of tenant leases for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Intangible Assets and Liabilities
Intangible assets and liabilities (in the case of below-market leases) generally consist of in-place leases, lease origination costs, tenant relationships, above-market leases, and below-market leases, which were recorded at the time of acquisition of certain properties. Above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the estimated term of any below-market, fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease portfolio and the Company’s overall relationship with the anchor tenants. The value of in-place leases, lease origination costs and tenant relationships are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the weighted-average remaining initial term of the lease (and expected renewal periods for tenant relationships); however, no amortization period for the intangible assets will exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Above- and below-market leases are amortized over the remaining life of the respective leases (plus fixed-rate renewal periods for below-market leases) as a decrease or increase to minimum rents, respectively.

The estimated net amortization expense pertaining to the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets and liabilities for the subsequent five years ending December 31 is as follows:
2014 | $ | 1,720,144 | ||
2015 | 1,480,881 | |||
2016 | 1,390,591 | |||
2017 | 367,017 | |||
2018 | 344,414 |
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the respective unamortized portion of the related intangible value is written off as an adjustment to revenue or expense, as appropriate.
Revenue Recognition
Minimum rents from tenants are recognized using the straight-line method over the lease term. Percentage and overage rents are recognized after the reported tenant’s sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint. Revenues associated with tenant reimbursements are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon provisions of the individual tenant leases. Lease termination fees are recognized upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease when the Company has no further obligation under the lease.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for any federal income taxes since each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is reportable by the Members in their respective income tax returns. The statutes of limitations for income tax returns remain open for the years 2010 through 2013.

(Information for the Years Ended December 31, 2012
and 2011 not Covered by Auditor’s Report)
Interest
Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, aggregated $44,300,107, $55,351,715 and $59,820,294, respectively.
Disposition of Real Estate
Gains from dispositions are recognized using the full accrual or partial sale methods, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties sold are met. If the criteria for sale recognition or gain recognition are not met because of a form of continuing involvement, the accounting for such transactions is dependent on the nature of the continuing involvement or cash flows. In certain cases, a sale might not be recognized, and in others all or a portion of the gain might be deferred.
Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity and, assuming no significant continuing involvement or cash flows, the sale of a retail property is considered discontinued operations. Interest expense, which is specifically identifiable to the property, is included in the computation of interest expense attributable to discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable
Accounts receivable, other than straight-line rents receivable, are expected to be collected within one year and are net of estimated unrecoverable amounts of $1,761,108 and $2,865,049 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, straight-line rents receivable, net of a provision for uncollectible amounts of $430,177 and $517,431, respectively, aggregated $8,164,216 and $9,560,387, respectively. The Company analyzes accounts receivable, tenant credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company assumed a $557,858 note receivable from a tenant at one of the properties with an interest rate of 10% and a maturity date of January 31, 2020. The original amount of the note at inception was $664,128. The Company reserved $448,653 and $400,000 of this note receivable at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the payer’s bankruptcy filing with no further receipt of principal and interest payments expected. The net amount of the note receivable outstanding was $0 and $48,653 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

5. Mortgage Notes Payable
PNC Mortgage Notes Payable
In May 2012, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of the revolving credit facility (Note 6) with proceeds from a term loan agreement with PNC Bank N.A. (“PNC Mortgage”) that allows for borrowings up to $280,000,000, which was collateralized by 11 and 12 properties at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The PNC Mortgage is non-recourse allocated mortgage notes payable that are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted.
The PNC Mortgage requires interest only payments based upon one of two interest rate options provided within the term loan agreement. The Company elected the LIBOR rate option, which is defined as the LIBOR rate plus 275 basis points. The PNC Mortgage is collateralized by real estate assets that have a carrying value of $475,962,292 and $513,254,884 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In December 2013, the Company refinanced the outstanding principal balance of the PNC Mortgage, which extended the maturity date to February 1, 2017, eliminated the two interest rate options and adjusted the interest rate to LIBOR plus 180 basis points. The interest rate was 2.05% and 3.00% at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based upon the 30-day LIBOR rate of 25 basis points.
The Company is required to comply with certain covenants. The covenants require that the collateralized asset’s debt service coverage ratio shall be equal to or greater than 1.50:1, and at all times the loan to value ratio shall not exceed 60%. Additionally, no single collateralized asset may represent more than 25% of the gross leasable area of the collateralized assets until the outstanding principal is less than $95,000,000. The Company was in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Additionally, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company exercised the $15,000,000 letter of credit (Note 6) and reduced the outstanding mortgage notes payable balances.
In May 2012, the Company modified the Metlife Mortgage, which was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. The Company repaid $76,000,000 of the outstanding mortgage notes payable.

DDRPM and DDR have the ability to earn leasing commissions for the rental of space to tenants in accordance with the management agreement. Lease commissions are calculated based on whether the lease is a new lease or renewal of an existing lease, the rental income earned over the life of the lease and the square footage the tenant will occupy under the lease. Lease commissions are capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease. Lease commissions earned by DDRPM and DDR and billed to the Company aggregated $1,445,548, $2,626,698 and $2,135,041 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
DDRPM and DDR have the ability to earn construction management fees which are determined in accordance with the management and operating agreement.

The construction management fee for a redevelopment or an expansion is determined by the Company and DDRPM and DDR in connection with the approval of the development expenditures. The construction management fee is payable as costs for the work conducted are due and is subject to adjustment once the final costs for the work are determined. The Company capitalizes the construction management fees as an addition to buildings and tenant improvements, as appropriate, and depreciates such costs over the estimated useful life of the related asset.

All activity associated with the shopping center is classified within discontinued operations (Note 11).
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by insurance. While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities:
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of straight-line rents receivable does not materially differ from its fair value.
Debt:
Using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality, and risk profile, the Company has determined the fair value of its mortgage notes payable to be $832,562,096 and $1,049,063,108 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.

10. Impairment Charges
Pursuant to the provisions ofAccounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,related to assets being held and used, the Company recorded impairment charges related to two, two and 17 properties aggregating $37,325,000, $48,108,732 and $258,333,033 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Measurement of Fair Value
The Company is required to assess the fair value of impaired assets. The valuation of impaired real estate assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows, the income capitalization approach considering prevailing market capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties and/or consideration of the amount that currently would be required to replace the asset, as adjusted for obsolescence. In general, the Company considers multiple valuation techniques when measuring the fair value. However, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance withFair Value Measurements, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:
• | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, and |
• | Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
