Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, related real estate joint ventures and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “DDR”), are engaged in the business of acquiring, expanding, owning, developing, redeveloping, leasing, managing and operating shopping centers and business centers.

     The Company and JDN Realty Corporation’s (“JDN”) shareholders approved a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which JDN shareholders received 0.518 common shares of DDR in exchange for each share of JDN common stock on March 13, 2003. The transaction valued JDN at approximately $1.1 billion, which included approximately $606.2 million of assumed debt at the fair market value and $50 million of voting preferred shares. Through this merger, DDR acquired 102 retail assets aggregating 23 million square feet including 16 development properties comprising approximately 6 million square feet of total GLA. Additionally, DDR acquired a development pipeline of nine properties representing 1.9 million square feet of total GLA with a total estimated cost of approximately $120 million.

Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority owned subsidiaries and investments where the Company has financial and operating control. Investments in real estate joint ventures and companies for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over but does not have financial and operating control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

     These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. The results of the operations for the three months ended March 31,

Table of Contents

2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

New Accounting Standards

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46” or “Interpretation”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The objective of this interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidated financial statements. A company that holds variable interest in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the company’s interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 Also requires additional disclosure by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The disclosure provisions of this Interpretation became effective upon issuance. The Consolidation requirements of this Interpretation apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to existing variable interest entities.

     The Company is in the process of evaluating all of its joint venture relationships in order to determine whether the entities are variable interest entities and whether the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary or whether it holds a significant variable interest. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the two taxable REIT subsidiaries are variable interest entities where the Company is a primary beneficiary, which may require consolidation under this interpretation. These entities own certain operating properties, development projects and a 79% equity interest in Coventry Real Estate Partners. The Company has several other joint venture arrangements where it is possible that they will be determined to be variable interest entities where the Company is considered to be a primary beneficiary or holds a significant variable interest. It is possible that the Company will be required to consolidate certain of these entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary or make additional disclosures related to its involvement with the entity. All of these joint ventures are included in the summarized financial information in Note 2.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” – an amendment of SFAS 123. This Statement amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has not yet determined whether any changes to its existing method of accounting for stock based compensation will be made.

     The Company applies APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” in accounting for its stock based plans. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation cost for stock options when the option exercise price equals or exceeds the market value on the date of the grant. Assuming application of the fair value method pursuant to SFAS 123, the compensation cost, which is required to be charged against income for all of the stock based plans, was $1.3 million and $0.6 million for March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The amounts charged to expense are presented in the aforementioned paragraph.

     In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments”. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.

2.  EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
