Independent Auditor’s Report

To DDR Corp. and DDR Manatee Master REIT, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of DDRM Properties LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 DDRM Properties 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.

and 2011 not Covered by Auditor’s Report)

 

1. Organization of Company

Background

DDRM Properties LLC (the “Company”) was formed in the state of Delaware on February 27, 2007 to acquire, own, operate and maintain shopping centers (the “Properties”) located throughout the United States. The Company first acquired the Properties on June 8, 2007.

The Company’s Members are DDR Corp. (“DDR”) and DDR Manatee Master REIT, Inc. (the “Master REIT”). The Master REIT is the Managing Member of the Company. DDR and the Master REIT have a 20% and 80% membership interest, respectively, and are collectively referred to as the “Members” and each, individually, a “Member.”

The Master REIT is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company as the Managing Member. The Company has engaged DDR Property Management LLC (“DDRPM”), a wholly- owned subsidiary of DDR, to act as the Property Manager.

Nature of Business

The Company is engaged in the business of owning and operating 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 tenants of the Company 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 Publix aggregated 14.2%, 14.1% and 14.7% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Properties

The Company owned 59, 59 and 60 properties located in eleven states as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are each owned by a wholly-owned single member limited liability company. The total gross leasable area of the Properties is 8,185,405 square feet (unaudited), 8,184,315 square feet (unaudited), and 8,210,075 square feet (unaudited) as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received net proceeds of $252,655 for a land condemnation of approximately 0.17 (unaudited) acres of land adjacent to a shopping center. The net proceeds were utilized to pay down the outstanding debt. The Company sold one property and a land parcel during the year ended December 31, 2012 and received net proceeds of $7,733,815. A portion of the proceeds was used to pay down the existing debt. The Company sold three properties and a land parcel during the year ended December 31, 2011 and received net proceeds of $27,811,899.

Significant Membership Terms

The Company’s profits and losses are allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective percentage interests.

The Company’s cash flows are distributed to the Members on a quarterly basis in proportion to their respective percentage interests.

The term of the Company shall continue in perpetuity until one of the first following events occurs: i) an election to dissolve the Company made by the Members; ii) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Properties and other assets of the Company; iii) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Act; iv) the liquidation and dissolution of the parent entity of the Master REIT; or v) any other circumstance requiring the liquidation of the Company pursuant to any provision of the Agreement or any other Fund Governing Document.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DDRM Properties LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, all of which are limited liability companies. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Real Estate

Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Building and building improvements   5 to 31.5 years
Tenant improvements   Useful lives, which approximate lease terms, where applicable

Depreciation expense on buildings and tenant improvements for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $36,815,763, which includes $380,123 related to the write-off of unamortized basis associated with the early termination of tenant leases. Depreciation expense on buildings and tenant improvements was $37,167,943, which includes $1,115,785 related to the write-off of unamortized basis associated with the demolition of a building for redevelopment and the early termination of tenant leases for the year ended December 31, 2012. Depreciation expense on buildings and tenant improvements was $37,715,409, which includes $379,255 related to the write-off of unamortized basis associated with the early termination of tenant leases for the year ended December 31, 2011. 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 hold 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 9 for a discussion related to impairment charges recorded during 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits with a major financial institution which from 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 with the Company’s mortgage notes payable, funds are required to be held in escrow for the payment of real estate taxes and various capital expenditures. All such amounts are classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are capitalized and amortized. Amortization expense was $1,396,141, $1,347,860 and $1,412,335, 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 $2,637,260, $2,437,915 and $2,170,032, which includes $513,793, $180,861 and $408,289, 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, 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 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 or 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 rent, respectively. The Company’s intangible assets and liabilities are comprised of the following (in thousands):

 

     Net Carrying value at

          Amortization - For the years ended

(1)  Includes value allocated to in-place leases, lease origination and tenant relationships.
(2)  Classified in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
(3)  Includes $1,275.0 related to the write-off of unamortized basis associated with the early termination of tenant leases which increased minimum rent.

The net estimated amortization pertaining to the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets and liabilities for the five years ending December 31, is as follows:

 

2014

   $ 1,918,859   

2015

     (187,678

2016

     (130,079

2017

     (423,932

2018

     (474,162

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the intangible values 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 generally recognized upon termination of a tenant’s lease and vacating the space with no further rights.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, 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.

Interest

Interest paid aggregated $51,998,803, $52,585,256 and $53,787,891 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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. 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 operating property is considered discontinued operations. Interest expense, which is specifically identifiable to the property, and the operations and gain or loss on sale are reported as 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.

New Accounting Standards

Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2013. This guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

7. Derivative Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

During 2007, the Company entered into treasury locks with a notional amount of $600.0 million. The treasury locks were executed to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with forecasted interest payments related to the anticipated issuance of the mortgage notes payable. The treasury locks were terminated in connection with the issuance of $885.0 million in mortgage notes payable at the time the properties were acquired (Note 4). The effective portion of these hedging relationships has been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the debt as an adjustment to interest expense. The Company expects that within the next 12 months it will reflect as an increase to earnings approximately $538,800 of the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company did not have any derivative financial instruments outstanding as of or during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

8. 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:

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.

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 debt to be $961,111,384 and $912,651,847 at 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.

9. Impairment Charges

Pursuant to the provisions of the standard, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, related to assets being held and used, the Company recorded impairment charges related to four, one and three properties aggregating $25,234,220, $507,269 and $14,968,826 during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The impairments were triggered by a change in the estimated holding period assumptions used in the impairment

calculation. One property was sold in 2012 and two properties were sold in 2011 and as a result were classified within discontinued operations (Note 10) 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 real estate 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. Although, the Company may consider multiple valuation techniques when measuring the fair value, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The standard 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). 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.

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

selling/purchase price equal to the initiating members’ membership interest in the Company. The other member has 30 days to accept the initiating member’s offer. No response constitutes acceptance. Closing of the purchase and sale shall occur no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the delivery of the election or deemed election or as otherwise agreed to in writing by both members. Either Member may cause a third-party sale of a property or the entire portfolio.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Metlife Mortgage Notes Payable

The Company has non-recourse mortgage notes payable with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“Metlife Mortgage”) that are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. The Metlife Mortgage was collateralized by seven and 17 properties at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Metlife Mortgage is collateralized by real estate assets that have a net carrying value of $330,579,453 and $523,267,109 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In February 2012, the Company executed a 90 day extension of the Metlife Mortgage with the existing terms, which required interest only payments at a rate of 5.48%. 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. The interest rate was lowered from 5.48% to 4.63% and requires interest only payments through the extended maturity date of June 1, 2015. Additionally, the Company executed a reserve agreement for capital expenditures requiring monthly payments, which are classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.

(“BOA Mortgage”) that are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted and requires interest only payments through the contractual maturity date. The BOA Mortgage was collateralized by 9 properties at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The BOA Mortgage is collateralized by real estate assets that have a net carrying value of $431,409,253 and $441,326,473 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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. Except for the redevelopment or expansion of a property, construction management fees are calculated based on 5% of the cost of tenant and other capital improvements, plus reimbursement of out of pocket costs and third party expenses. 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. Construction management fees earned by DDRPM and DDR and billed to the Company aggregated $938,199, $429,172 and $353,914 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(Information for the Years Ended December 31, 2012

Rental expense for all non-cancellable operating leases was $630,273 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company has recorded a contingent liability aggregating $1,150,000 related to a guarantee provided to the buyer of a shopping center sold during 2012 that is included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. The contingent liability relates to potential future capital expenditures required by the respective governing agencies related to tax increment financing bonds. The charge for the liability was included within the aggregate impairment charge recorded for the shopping center triggered by the Company’s decision to sell the 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 of Accounting 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 with Fair 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders, Directors and Management of

Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL

São Paulo - SP - Brazil

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America - U.S. GAAS. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 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 the auditor’s 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, the auditor considers 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.


Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

Emphasis of Matter

Accounting practices in conformity with IFRS, as issued by IASB, vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America - U.S. GAAP. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 32 to the consolidated financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  2.1. Declaration of conformity

The Company’s financial statements comprise:

 

    The consolidated financial statements, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, have been prepared to fulfill the requirement of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X of its shareholder DDR Corp., to be included in its Form 10-K. The Company applied the accounting policies set out in note 2 for all periods presented.

 

  2.2. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost and adjusted to reflect the fair values of the investment properties and certain financial instruments against net income for the year. The historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration paid in exchange for assets.

The main accounting policies adopted in preparing these financial statements are summarized below. These practices are consistent with those adopted in the prior year reporting period.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the group:

 

  2.3. Investments in associate

The investments are registered under the equity method.

Associates are entities that the Company is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not have control or joint control over those policies (see note 8).

 

10


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  2.4. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented in conformity with IFRS, as issued by IASB. The main accounting policies applied include the financial statements of the Company and of its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and the Company’s investments in subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests are stated separately.

Control is achieved when the Company:

 

    Has power over the investee.

 

    Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.

 

    Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

 

11


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

12


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  2.6. Functional currency of the financial statements

The items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The Company and its subsidiaries’ functional and presentation currency is the Brazilian reais (R$).

 

  2.7. Foreign currency

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

 

  2.8. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by available bank accounts. Short-term investments may be redeemed within 90 days and are comprised of highly-liquid securities convertible into cash, which presents an immaterial risk of change in fair value. Short-term investment balances are carried at cost plus income earned through the end of each reporting period.

 

  2.9. Restricted investments

As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the indirect subsidiary, Sierra Investimentos had investments in Financial Treasury Bills (LFTs) linked to commitments assumed with Banco Ourinvest S.A., as described in note 31. Investment balances were carried at cost plus income earned through the end of each reporting period.

 

  2.10. Financial instruments

 

  2.10.1. Recognition and measurement

Transactions with financial instruments are initially recognized at transaction value.

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the financial assets and financial liabilities.

 

  2.10.2. Classification

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments have been classified into the following categories:

 

    Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading, i.e., acquired or originated primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term. Changes in fair value are accounted for in profit or loss, and balances are stated at fair value.

 

    Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as noncurrent assets. The Company’s loans and receivables include loans to associates and subsidiaries and trade and other receivables.

 

13


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  2.11. Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the trade date and subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately, unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument; in which the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

 

  2.12. Hedge accounting

The Company designates certain hedging instruments as fair value hedges.

At the beginning of the hedging relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item with its risk management objectives and strategy to enter into different hedging transactions. Additionally, the Company documents at the inception of a hedge, and continuously, if the hedging instrument used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair values or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.

Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss together with any changes in the fair values of the hedged item, attributable to the hedged risk. Changes in the fair value of these instruments, as well as of the hedged item, are recognized in “Finance income (costs)”.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company cancels the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The adjustment to the fair value of the hedged item is accounted for in profit or loss, as of the adjustment date.

 

  2.13. Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, except those designated at fair value through profit or loss, are valued using impairment indicators at the end of each annual reporting period. Impairment losses are recognized if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, with an impact on the estimated future cash flows.

The criteria used by the Company and its subsidiaries to determine if there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes:

 

    Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor

 

    A breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments

 

14


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

    It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization

 

    The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties

The carrying amount of the financial asset is directly reduced by any impairment loss for all financial assets, except for receivables, in which case the carrying amount is reduced through use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of previously written-off amounts are added to the allowance. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.14. Trade accounts receivable

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis, according to contractual terms.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in an amount considered sufficient by management to cover probable losses on the realization of trade accounts receivable, (100% of amounts over 120 days past due).

Past-due and renegotiated amounts are recorded at the renegotiation amounts, including principal plus financial charges, to be collected according to the new receiving period. Concurrently, an additional allowance is recorded on financial charges incurred and included in renegotiations. The allowance is registered until the payment of the renegotiated balance.

 

  2.15. Property and equipment

Property and equipment is carried at cost of purchase, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis at the rates mentioned in note 9, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The residual values and the useful lives of the assets are annually reviewed and adjusted, when appropriate.

The carrying amount of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising on the recognition of property and equipment corresponds to the difference between the amounts received and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.16. Investment property

Investment properties are represented by land and buildings in shopping malls held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, as disclosed in note 10.

Investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. The gain or loss from the change in fair value of investment properties in operation is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it arises. Valuations were made by independent external appraisers using the cash flow model discounted at market rates. Semi-annually reviews are conducted to value any changes in the recognized balances.

 

15


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

Investment property under construction is recognized at cost of construction until it is placed into service or when the Company is able to measure, reliably, the fair value of the asset.

The fair value of an investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure.

 

  2.17. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

 

  2.18. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

Items in property and equipment, intangible assets and other noncurrent assets are evaluated annually to identify evidence of unrecoverable losses or whenever significant events or material changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value is not recoverable. In the event of a loss resulting from situations where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable value, which is defined as the value in use of the asset, using the discounted cash flow method, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.19. Loans, financing and debentures

Loans, financing and debentures are initially recognized at fair value, less transaction costs incurred, and subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised (less transaction costs) and the settlement amount is recognized in the statement of income during the period the borrowings remain outstanding, using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that take substantial period to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets through the date they are ready for their intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

Part of the transactions carried out using debentures issued by the Company, subject to fair value hedge, are stated at fair value. Gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss.

 

  2.20. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation and its settlement is probable.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

 

16


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the main provisions recognized by the Company and subsidiaries are as follows:

 

  2.20.1 Reserve for civil, tax, labor and social security risks

Reserves recorded for lawsuits assessed by the legal counsel and management of the Company and its subsidiaries as probable losses, considering the nature of the lawsuits, the legal counsel and management’s experience in similar cases. Reserves have been recognized for matters classified as legal obligations, regardless of the expected outcome of lawsuits.

 

  2.20.2 Accrual for variable compensation

Accrual for variable compensation is recognized to cover the amounts of performance bonuses granted to some Company officers, which will only be paid three years after such bonuses are granted, provided the officers are still employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. These bonuses are adjusted through the payment date, based on the annual fluctuation of the Company’s market value, and are recognized on a straight-line basis in the income of period during the three-year period (from grant date to payment year) at the gross amount granted to these officers. A possible subsequent adjustment arising from changes in market value is recorded in the income of the period, when incurred.

 

  2.21. Revenue recognition

Revenue, costs and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Revenue from rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of rental agreements, pursuant to IAS 17 (Leases revenues, taking into account the contractual adjustment and the collection of the 13th monthly rental and revenue from services, is recognized when services are provided). Revenues from assignment of rights to tenants are allocated to income over the term of the first rental agreement.

Our revenue derives mainly from the following activities:

 

  a) Rental

Rental revenue refers to the rental of store space to tenants and other commercial space, such as sales stands, including rentals of commercial space for advertising and promotion. Rentals to shopping mall tenants account for the highest percentage of Company and its subsidiaries’ revenue.

 

  b) Parking

Parking revenue refers to revenue from the operation of parking lots.

 

  c) Services

Service revenue refers to the provision of asset and property management services to shopping mall tenants and owners and brokerage services.

The Company receives management fees from tenants for the management of the shopping mall common areas.

 

17


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

Brokerage services include the sale of vacant spaces and the identification and development of relationships with prospect tenants, such as store chains to minimize a shopping mall vacancy rate. Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the rent charged from a potential lessee.

 

  d) Property space (key money) lease fee

Key money refer to the lease fees payable by new tenants as consideration for the advantages and benefits received by the tenants from their right to use the infrastructure offered by the shopping malls when new projects are launched, existing projects are expanded or the store rental is discontinued.

The amount payable by new tenants is negotiated based on the market value of the rented space. Usually the new tenants pay a higher fee for stores with greater visibility and exposure in the busiest areas of the shopping mall.

 

  e) Lessee transfer fees

Revenue generated by the fees paid when the rental is transferred from a lessee to another, generally calculated as a percentage of the amount involved in the transfer.

 

  2.22. Income tax and social contribution

The operations related to the development, management and investment of shopping malls are located only in Brazil.

 

  a) Subsidiary Sonae Sierra Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Brazil

Income tax is calculated at the rate of 15% plus a 10% surtax on annual taxable income exceeding R$240. Social contribution is calculated at the rate of 9% on annual taxable income. Deferred income tax and social contribution result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses (for tax and financial reporting purposes), as well as tax loss carryforwards, when the utilization against future taxable income is probable.

As permitted by tax legislation, certain consolidated subsidiaries opted for taxation based on deemed income. Tax basis of income tax and social contribution are calculated at the rate of 32% on gross revenues from services and 100% of financial income, of which regular tax rates of 15%, plus a 10% surtax for income tax and 9% for social contribution are applied. As a result, these consolidated companies did not record deferred income tax and social contribution on tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences and are not subject to the noncumulative regime for taxes on revenue (Social Integration Program Tax on Revenue (PIS) and Social Security Funding Tax on Revenue (COFINS)).

Shareholders of Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II are subject to tax on income from the fund.

In the specific case of the adjustment to fair value of investment property, regardless of the taxation regime elected by the subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax liabilities were recognized at the rate of 34% on such adjustments (except for the property under Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II, which is tax exempt), based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain can be determined.

 

18


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  b) Company

Current taxes

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of income because of items of income or expense items that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using a tax rate of 15%, that has been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred taxes

For the adjustment to fair value of investment property related to Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II, regardless of the taxation regime elected by the subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax liabilities were recognized at the rate of 15% on such adjustments, based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain can be determined.

 

  2.23. Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using net income for the year attributable to the owners of the Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the year.

The Company has no debt convertible into shares, stock options granted or any other potentially dilutive instrument; therefore, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share for the periods shown.

 

  2.24. New and revised standards and interpretations in 2013

 

Pronouncement

  

Description

Amendments to IFRS 7    Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
IFRS 10    Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 11    Joint Arrangements
IFRS 12    Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
IFRS 13    Fair Value Measurement
IAS 19 (revised in 2011)    Employee Benefits

The Company’s management assessed these new standards and interpretations and concluded that there was no significant impact from adopting these new standards.

 

19


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  2.25. New and revised standards and interpretations issued and not yet adopted

 

    IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9 completes the first part of the project to supersede IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This new standard uses a simple approach to determine whether a financial asset is stated at amortized cost or fair value, based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and contractual cash flows underlying the financial assets. IFRS 9 also requires the adoption of only one method to determine losses on impairment of assets.

 

    Amendments to IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments Disclosures - increases the disclosure requirements for transactions involving financial assets and liabilities

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 2015

 

    Amendments to IAS 32 - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendment clarifies the meaning of “currently has a legal enforceable right to off-set” and “simultaneously realization and settlement”

 

    Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12, and IAS 27 - Investment entities - the amendment to IFRS 10 define an investment entity and requires a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity not to consolidate its subsidiaries but instead to measure its subsidiaries at fair value through profit and loss in its consolidated and separate financial statements

Consequential amendments have been made to IFRS 12 and IAS 27 to introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities.

The Company’s management assessed these new standards and interpretations and does not expect significant effects on the reported amounts.

 

  2.26. Early adoption of Provisional Measure 627/13

Subsidiary Sonae Sierra Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Brazil

Provisional Measure 627, on November 11, 2013, and Regulatory Instruction 1397, on September 16, 2013, issued by Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, significantly changed federal tax rules. This provisional measure will be effective beginning 2015 and early adoption is permitted beginning 2014.

Management is analyzing the effects from the adoption of such provisional measure, but does not expect significant effects by adopting it and intends to do the early adoption.

 

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND MAIN ESTIMATES

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

20


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The following are the main judgments and accounting estimates that the Company and its subsidiaries’ management understands as relevant for the preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements:

 

  a) Investment property value: the fair value of investment property is determined by valuing the future cash flows of each property at present value, as determined by independent valuers. The Company and its subsidiaries’ management uses its judgment to choose the method and define assumptions, which are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period.

 

  b) Reserve for civil, tax, labor and social security risks: the reserve for risks is recognized for lawsuits assessed by the legal counsel and management of the Company and its subsidiaries as probable losses, considering the nature of the lawsuits, and the legal counsel and management’s experience in similar cases. Reserves have been recognized for matters classified as legal obligations, regardless of the expected final outcome of lawsuits.

 

  c) Projections prepared for the realization of deferred income tax and social contribution balances: based on analyses of the multi-year operating projections, the Company recognized tax credits related to prior year tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences.

Maintenance of tax credits from tax loss carryforwards, deferred income tax and social contribution tax loss carryforwards is supported by future earnings projections prepared by the Company’s management and periodically reviewed, for the next ten years, to determine the recoverability of tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences.

Fair value measurement methodology

The fair value of each investment property in operation and in construction was determined based on a valuation reported at the time, prepared by an independent external appraiser (Cushman & Wakefield) and reviewed by management.

 

30


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

The valuation of these investment properties was prepared in accordance with the practice statements of the RICS Appraisal and Valuation Manual, published by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“Red Book”), based in the United Kingdom.

The methodology adopted to calculate the market value (fair value) of an investment property in operation involves developing ten-year projections of gains and losses for each shopping mall, added to the residual value, which corresponds to a perpetuity calculated based on the net earnings of the 11th year and a market yield rate (exit yield or cap rate). For the calculation of the perpetuity, the Company considered a real growth rate of 0.0%. These projections are discounted at the measurement date using a market discount rate.

The projections are not forecasted, but simply reflect the best estimate of the appraiser regarding the current view of the market with respect to the future revenue and cost of each property. The yield rate and the discount rate are set according to the local investment and institutional market and the reasonableness of the market value obtained according to the methodology above, equally tested in terms of the initial yield rate obtained based on net yield estimated for the first year of the projections.

In the valuation of the investment properties, some assumptions classified by the Red Book as “special” were considered. These assumptions relate mainly to recently opened shopping malls, where investment expenses not yet paid were not included, as such amounts are recognized in the financial statements.

The period for measurement at fair value is on semi-annual basis.

The assumptions used as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, for the measurement at fair value described above, are as follows:

 

12/31/13     12/31/12  

Ten-year discount rate

On February 15, 2012, the Company issued 30,000 nonconvertible debentures, in two series, with a par value of R$10 each, totaling R$300,000. After the book-building procedure carried out on March 2, 2012, which defined the debenture interest, the series can be summarized as follows:

 

    1st series: 9,550 debentures, in the total amount of R$95,500, yielding a floating annual rate equivalent to CDI plus 0.96%, with final maturity within five years. Compensation will be paid semiannually.

 

    2nd series: 20,450 debentures, in the total amount of R$204,500, yielding a floating annual rate equivalent to consumer price index (IPCA) plus 6.25%, with final maturity within seven years. Compensation will be paid annually.

As described in note 27.3, on August 22, 2013, the Company contracted a derivative instrument (swap) in the notional amount of R$54,500, to partially hedge the inflation rate risk (IPCA) subject to the interest of the 2nd series of debentures. In this transaction, the Company replaced the IPCA + 6.25% per year by the CDI +1.24% per year.

The swap agreement expires within six years and matures on February 15, 2019. This maturity date is the same as the hedged instrument.

This transaction is intended to adjust the Company’s indebtedness, including the change from variable IPCA rate to the CDI. Although both rates are variable, the CDI currently reflects the primary compensation index of the Company’s financial assets and, therefore, is more appropriate to manage financial instruments.

  (a) Labor and social security

As of December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries whose contingency in the amount of R$1,210 (R$1,197 as of December 31, 2012) was assessed as a probable loss by the legal counsel.

  (b) Tax

IRRF, CIDE, CPMF and CADE

The Company is claiming the suspension of the payment of IRRF, economic intervention contribution (CIDE) and tax on banking transaction (CPMF) on payments made abroad. The historical amounts of such lawsuits correspond to the total amount of R$3,344 (R$3,187 as of December 31, 2012), which are deposited in escrow and accrued, since the likelihood of loss on these lawsuits is probable.

The CIDE and IRRF lawsuits had an unfavorable decision to the Company on appellate court and await ruling at special appeal.

There was a final and unappealable decision on the lawsuit challenging the CPMF levied an unfavorable decision of foreign payments to subsidiary Sierra Investimentos. This decision will not require disbursements since the court costs have already been paid and the subsidiary was not sentenced to pay attorney’s fees to the prevailing party arising from the injunction. Presently, subsidiary Sierra Investimentos awaits the settlement of the escrow deposit, which amounts to R$1,278, in order to write off the tax credit.

Additionally, Sierra Investimentos recognizes a reserve for contingencies and made an escrow deposit of R$410, corresponding to the administrative fine imposed by the CADE (Brazilian antitrust agency). As of December 31, 2012, this lawsuit had already obtained a final and un-appealable decision. Presently, Sierra Investimentos is awaiting the withdrawal of the escrow deposits made by the CADE to settle the fine, with no impact on net income.

27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company and its subsidiaries conduct transactions involving financial instruments, all of which are recorded in balance sheet accounts, which are intended to meet their operating and financial needs.

These financial instruments are managed based on policies, definition of strategies and establishment of control systems, which are duly monitored by the management of the Company and its subsidiaries, with a view to maximize shareholder value and achieve a balance between debt and equity capital.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ main financial instruments are represented by:

 

  a) Cash and cash equivalents, restricted investments and escrow deposits: are classified as loans and receivable and their carrying amount is equivalent to the assets’ fair value

 

  b) Trade accounts receivable and loans to condominiums: are classified as loans and receivables and recorded at the contracted amounts, which approximate market

 

  c) Loans and financing: are classified as other financial liabilities and the fair value is determined using generally accepted pricing models based on analyses of discounted cash flows

 

  d) Debentures: are classified as other financial liabilities (part of the debentures issued by the Company, subject to fair value hedge, is stated at fair value)

 

  e) Domestic trade accounts payables: are classified as other financial liabilities and recorded at the contracted amounts, which approximate market

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments are as follows:

The measurement of financial instruments is grouped into levels 1 to 3, based on the fair value hierarchy:

 

    Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

    Level 2 - other techniques according to which all inputs with significant effects on the fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in the level 2 category above have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.

 

    Level 3 - techniques that use inputs with significant effects on fair value not based on observable market inputs.

According to their nature, financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, and the Company’s judgment is important to the risk assessment. Thus, risks may exist with or without guarantees depending on circumstantial or legal aspects. The main market risk factors that may affect the Company’s business are as follows:

 

  27.1. Credit risk

The Company has a large customer base and constantly monitors trade receivables using internal controls, which limit the risk of default. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in an amount considered by management as sufficient to cover probable losses on the collection of receivables, based on the following criterion: allowance of 100% for receivables past due over 120 days.

The credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents is limited as the counterparties are represented by banks, with a high rating assigned by international credit rating agencies.

 

51


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  27.2. Price fluctuation risk

The Company’s revenue consists of rentals received from shopping mall tenants. In general, rentals are adjusted based on the annual fluctuation of IPCA, as provided in the lease agreements. The rental levels may vary according to adverse economic conditions and, consequently, the revenue level may be affected. Management monitors these risks in order to minimize impacts on its business.

 

  27.3. Interest rate risk

Results from the portion of debt contracted with interest linked to the CDI, TR and IPCA and involves the risk of increase in financial expenses as a result of unfavorable rates.

The Company contracted non-speculative derivatives (swap) to partially hedge the inflation rate risk (IPCA) subject to interest of the 2nd series of debentures, as follows:

The aforementioned swap transaction was designated by the Company as a fair value hedge accounting transaction. The fair value of debentures, which is the subject matter of the swap transaction, corresponds to a gain of R$1,982 (see notes 13 and 23).

 

  27.4. Currency risk

Trade receivables and trade payables are denominated in Brazilian reais and are not exposed to exchange fluctuations.

 

  27.5. Capital risk

The Company and its subsidiaries manage their capital to ensure regular business continuity and, at the same time, maximize return for all stakeholders or parties involved in their operations, by optimizing debt and equity balance.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ equity structure consists of loans and financing and debentures detailed in notes 12 and 13, less cash and cash equivalents, and consolidated shareholders’ equity (including capital, reserves and non-controlling interests, as mentioned in note 19).

 

  27.6. Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk and interest tables

The tables below detail the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s financial liabilities and the contractual payment periods. These tables were prepared in accordance with undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, based on the closest date when the Company and its subsidiaries should settle the corresponding obligations. The tables include interest and principal cash flows. As interest flows are based on floating rates, the undiscounted amount was based on the interest curves at year-end. Contractual maturity is based on the most recent date when the Company and its subsidiaries should settle the related obligations.

Sensitivity analysis on financial instruments

Considering the financial instrument previously described, the Company and its subsidiaries have developed a sensitivity analysis based on 25% and 50% fluctuations in the risk variable taken into consideration. These scenarios may impact the Company and its subsidiaries’ net income and/or future cash flows, as described below:

 

    Base scenario: maintenance of interest in the same levels as those as of December 31, 2013.

 

    Adverse scenario: a 25% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2013.

 

    Remote scenario: a 50% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2013.

Assumptions

As described above, the Company believes that it is mainly exposed to the risks of fluctuation of the CDI, TR and IPCA, which is the basis to adjust a substantial portion of short-term investments and loans and financing. Accordingly, the table below shows the indices and rates used to prepare the sensitivity analysis:

31. COMMITMENTS

With the enactment of Law 12024, dated August 27, 2009, which describes the tax treatment applicable to income earned by real estate investment funds, the administrator of Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário I, Banco Ourinvest S.A., stopped retaining IRRF on income paid to a certain shareholder headquartered in Brazil. In view of the inquiry made by Banco Ourinvest S.A., to the Federal Revenue Service on the content and scope of this law, Sierra Investimentos committed to an agreement entered into with this bank, dated October 29, 2009, to make a short - term investment under custody to cover a possible collection of the tax that is not being withheld. At the same date, Parque D. Pedro 1 BV/SARL (a Luxembourg company belonging to the same corporate group of the Company) and Sierra Investimentos, entered into an agreement under which Parque D. Pedro 1 BV/SARL agrees to reimburse Sierra Investimentos for any type of risk arising from the nonpayment of tax by Banco Ourinvest S.A.

As of May 13, 2010, the federal government filed an appeal against the federal lower court decision. On June 11, 2010, Banco Ourinvest S.A. filed its counter-arguments and currently awaits the appellate court decision.

As of December 31, 2013, subsidiary Sierra Investimentos has R$833 receivable from Banco Ourinvest S.A., as a result of the agreement entered into on October 29, 2009. These receivables are classified in line item “Other receivables”, in noncurrent assets (see note 5). In addition, the subsidiary Sierra Investimentos has a balance of R$6,124 (R$4,065 as of December 31, 2012) in restricted investments, stated in noncurrent assets.

Summary of main differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS:

 

  (a) Investment properties

Under IFRS, investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. The gain or loss from the change in fair value of investment properties in operation are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.

Under U.S. GAAP, investment properties are carried at acquisition cost, including borrowing costs. Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

  (b) Interest capitalized on investment property under construction

Under IFRS, income earned on the temporary investment of actual borrowings is offset against the actual borrowing costs to be capitalized.

Under U.S. GAAP, income earned on the temporary investment of actual borrowings is not generally deducted from the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized.

 

  (c) Write-off of prepaid commission expenses

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded costs on commissions paid on store rentals as prepaid expenses, which are amortized over a five-year period taking into account the start and the termination of the lease agreements.

Under IFRS, these expenses and costs do not meet the definition of an asset; therefore, were recognized as operating costs when incurred.

 

  (d) Campo Limpo Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda.

The associate Campo Limpo Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda. also prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and, as such, applies the policies described in items (a) and (b) above related to adjustment of the fair value of investment property. This amount represents the impact of these two adjustments in consolidated net income arising from the equity method valuation.

 

57


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  (e) Deferred income taxes

The deferred income taxes reconciling item represents the tax effect of all the GAAP adjustments discussed in the reconciliation table above.

 

  (f) Gain on sales of investment properties

Under IFRS, investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value.

Under U.S. GAAP, investment properties are carried at acquisition cost, including borrowing costs less accumulated depreciation.

Therefore, the GAAP adjustment corresponds to the different results obtained by assets measured at fair value in IFRS and assets measured at cost of acquisition, deducted from accumulated depreciation in U.S. GAAP.
