Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the Period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004
1. Organization of Company
Background
DDR Macquarie Fund LLC (the “Company”) was formed in the state of Delaware on September 3, 2003 to acquire, develop, own, lease, sell and finance various shopping centers (“the Properties”) located throughout the United States. The Company first acquired Properties on November 21, 2003.
The Company’s members include Macquarie DDR U.S. Trust Inc. (“US REIT”), DDR MDT Holdings I Trust (“DDR Trust I”), DDR MDT Holdings III Trust (“DDR Trust III”), JDN Realty Corporation (“JDN”) and Macquarie DDR Management LLC (“US Manager”). The US REIT, DDR Trust I, DDR Trust III, JDN and US Manager are collectively referred to as the “Members” and each, individually, a “Member.” As part of the March 23, 2006 property acquisition JDN contributed to the Company. Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (“DDR”) wholly owns DDR Trust I, DDR Trust III and JDN Realty Corporation which are collectively known as DDR or DDR Party. The membership interests as of June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004 are as follows:
                         
    Membership   Membership   Membership
    interests as of   interests as of   interests as of
    June 30, 2006   June 30, 2005   June 30, 2004
US REIT
    87.736 %     87.769 %     88.244 %
DDR Trust I and DDR Trust III
    12.253 %     12.226 %     11.750 %
JDN
    0.006 %     0.000 %     0.000 %
US Manager
    0.005 %     0.005 %     0.006 %
 
                       
 
    100.000 %     100.000 %     100.000 %
 
                       
The US Manager is responsible for all asset management functions and has the authority to make certain decisions on behalf of the Company. The Company has engaged DDR to act as the Property Manager.
Nature of Business
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 tenants to meet their lease obligations and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract and retain tenants.
Revenues derived from the Company’s largest tenant aggregated 6.0%, 5.3% and 5.0% of total revenues for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004, respectively. The Company believes the tenant portfolio is diversified in terms of location of its shopping centers and its tenant profile.

Significant Terms
The Company’s profits and losses are allocated to the Members (i) first, to the US Manager until the cumulative amount of items of income or loss is equal to the aggregate amount of the base amount and performance amount distributions, as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Agreement”), paid to US Manager for the current and all prior periods, (ii) second, profit and loss is allocated to the Members in an amount equal to the net disposition proceeds, as defined in the Agreement, beginning with a) the US Manager in an amount equal to its percentage interest in the Company, b) to each DDR Party in an amount equal to their percentage interest, c) to the US Manager in an amount equal to the sum of all previously accrued but unpaid base amounts and d) to the US REIT in an amount equal to the US REIT’s percentage interest.
The Company’s cash flows are distributed to the Members (i) first, for each fiscal quarter, the Company shall make distributions of net operating cash, as defined by the Agreement, to the US Manager in proportion to its percentage interest in the Company, (ii) second, to each DDR Party in proportion to its percentage interest in the Company, (iii) third, the Company shall make distributions of net operating cash to the US Manager (to the extent there is net operating cash remaining after the distributions noted above) for each fiscal quarter of the base amount, together with all previously accrued but unpaid base amounts, (iv) fourth, for each half year, the Company shall make distributions of the performance amount to the US Manager (v) fifth, for each fiscal quarter, the Company shall make distributions to the US REIT equal to its percentage interest from the net operating cash remaining after regular, base amount and performance amounts have been distributed. Upon receipt of the performance amount, the US Manager is required to purchase shares in the US REIT in accordance with the subscription agreement for the performance shares.
The Company’s net disposition proceeds from capital transactions, as defined by the Agreement, are distributed to the Members (i) first, to the US Manager in an amount equal to the product of the sale proceeds multiplied by US Manager’s percentage interest at time of the sale, (ii) second, to each DDR Party in an amount equal to the sale proceeds multiplied by such DDR Party’s percentage interest at time of sale, (iii) third, to the US Manager in an amount equal to the sum of all previously accrued but unpaid base amounts (iv) fourth, to the US REIT the remaining balance after distributions to the previous parties.

As the US REIT has an unconditional right to satisfy the Redemption Option with either its shares or cash paid by an affiliate of the US REIT, the Company has recorded the DDR Party’s interests within its permanent equity.
If the Company desires to sell any property after DDR has sold its 50% interest in the US Manager and DDR Party meets certain ownership requirements as set forth in the Agreement, DDR Party has the option to purchase a property at the purchase price determined by the Company before it is offered for sale to a third party.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Minority Equity Interests
The Company owns a 99.962% controlling ownership interest in the DDR MDT SW Holdings Trust, which owns the Shoppers World property. The minority shareholders’ equity interest in the real estate investment trust aggregated $62,521 and $62,363 at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation
Other than the Shoppers World property, the Properties are owned by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Real Estate
In connection with the acquisition of the Properties, the total purchase cost was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based upon their estimated fair market values pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 141, Business Combinations.
The value of the tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and tenant improvements, are determined as if vacant. Intangible assets, including the value of in-place leases, lease origination costs and tenant relationships are recorded at their relative fair value (see further discussion below). The amount allocated to land, buildings and tenant improvements upon the initial acquisition of all Properties aggregated $465,326,292, $1,228,968,518 and $9,267,517, respectively.
Acquisitions of real estate are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. In the Company’s opinion, the recorded amount of the real estate assets is not in excess of the Properties’ estimated gross undiscounted future cash flows. This assessment was made on the basis of the Company’s continued ownership and use of such Properties as well as considering the current and future expected occupancy levels.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the tangible assets as follows:
         
 
  Buildings   40 years
 
  Tenant Improvements   Useful lives, which approximate
lease terms, where applicable
Depreciation expense was $33,643,331, $27,382,493 and $9,398,930 for years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004,

respectively. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renovations, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized.
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.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are capitalized and amortized into interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements on the straight-line basis, which approximates the effective yield method. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004 was $2,768,281, $2,708,998 and $1,057,196, 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 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004 was $423,359, $130,776 and $7,551, respectively.
Intangible Assets
The Company allocated the purchase prices of the Properties to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair market values. The Company determined that the in-place leases acquired approximated fair market value, therefore there was no separate allocation in the purchase prices for above-market or below-market leases.
The total amount of intangible assets allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationship values is based upon management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each lease and the Company’s overall relationship with anchor tenants. Factors considered in the allocation of these values include the nature of the existing relationship with the tenant, the expectation of lease renewals, the estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases, among other factors. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, based upon management’s assessment of specific market conditions.
The value of in-place leases including origination costs is amortized to expense over the estimated weighted average remaining initial term of the lease portfolio. The value of tenant

relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the estimated initial and renewal terms of the lease portfolio; however, no amortization period for intangible assets will exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.
The amount allocated to lease origination, in-place leases and tenant relationships in the initial purchase price allocations of all Properties was $1,995,308, $2,892,549 and $13,002,767, respectively. The amortization period of each intangible asset ranges from 2 to 10 years for lease origination, 2 to 7 years for in-place leases and 11 to 28 years for tenant relationships. Amortization expense for years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004 was $1,946,879, $1,749,703 and $560,733, respectively.
The estimated amortization expense associated with the Company’s finite lived intangible assets for the five succeeding fiscal years is approximately as follows:
         
2007
  $ 1,055,000  
2008
    979,000

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 generally recognized upon termination of a tenant’s lease and vacating the space with no further rights.
Receipts from Made-Up Rental Shortfalls
The Company has master lease agreements for certain vacant spaces in its shopping centers (Note 6). The lessee is required to pay rent, plus payments for common area maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes in accordance with the master lease until the earlier of the expiration of the lease or the rental of the spaces by a third party. In accordance with EITF 85-27 Recognition of Receipts from Made-Up Rental Shortfalls, the Company records all receipts from the lessee under the arrangements as an adjustment to the basis of the property. As third party leases are signed and rent commences on the master leased spaces, the master lessee is released from future obligations pertaining to the space and all related receivable balances are reallocated to purchase price. All amounts received from third party tenants under leases for former master lease space are recognized as income.
Income Taxes
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.
Interest
Interest paid during the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004 aggregated $47,921,560, $34,164,545 and $9,725,610, respectively, including interest received and paid on the interest rate swaps discussed in Notes 6 and 8.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

8. Interest Rate Swaps and Hedging
Accounting Policy for Derivative and Hedging Activities
All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. On the date that the Company enters into a derivative, it designates certain derivatives as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability or forecasted transaction. 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 (loss) in the statements of income and comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. Any hedge ineffectiveness is reported in current earnings in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses (both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. Should it be determined that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting on a prospective basis.
Risk Management
The Company entered into interest rate swaps to mitigate fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. The Company has not designated certain derivatives as a qualifying hedge pursuant to SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as further discussed below, and is recording changes in fair value for these derivatives in earnings as a component of interest expense. The Company does not utilize these arrangements for trading or speculative purposes. The principal risk to the Company through its interest rate hedging strategy is the potential inability of the financial institution from which the interest rate swap was purchased to cover all of their obligations. To mitigate this exposure, the Company entered into its interest rate swaps from major financial institutions.

For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004, other comprehensive income of $2,972,712, other comprehensive loss of $249,444, and other comprehensive income of $284,633, respectively, was recorded for the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, income of $5,121,294, a loss of $2,784,652, and income of $187,469 respectively, was recorded to earnings as a component of interest expense for the swaps that were not designated as hedges pursuant to SFAS 133. During the year ended June 30, 2006, it was determined that the $20 million swap ceased to be highly effective as a hedge; therefore, the Company discontinued hedge accounting and changes in fair value of the swap were recorded through earnings.
As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was an asset of $5,532,012 and a liability of $2,561,994, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 are included in other assets and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 21, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2004, as the critical terms for the effective swaps discussed above and the hedged cash flows are the same, no ineffectiveness was recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. All components of the effective interest rate swaps were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. As the Company will not make or receive any payments over the next twelve months for the swaps that are highly effective hedges at June 30, 2006, the Company expects that no amounts recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.

The Company pays fixed interest rates of 1.800%, 4.800% and 5.595% over various periods during the term of the swap where MBL pays a fixed interest rate of 5.300% throughout the life of the swap based on a notional amount of $157,250,000.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate fair value of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of such financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable:
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of straight-line rents receivable does not differ materially from their fair value.
Debt:
As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgages was $754,140,377 and $788,652,969, respectively, based on the Company’s estimated interest rate spread over the applicable treasury rate with a similar remaining maturity and applying a discounted cash flow analysis. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the carrying value of the fixed rate mortgages was $788,370,872, and $790,883,105, respectively. The fair market value of variable rate debt approximates the carrying value due to the frequent reset of the variable interest rates.
