INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors

TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses of Cochran Bypass, or the Property, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. These statements of revenues and certain expenses are the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statements of revenues and certain expenses 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements of revenues and certain expenses are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain expenses, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 1 to the statements of revenues and certain expenses, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statements of revenues and certain expenses present fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses as described in Note 1 to the statements of revenues and certain expenses of Cochran Bypass for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and

For The Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses include the operations of Cochran Bypass, or the Property, a single-tenant retail center located in Chester County, South Carolina. The Property has approximately 46,000 gross leaseable square feet and was 100% occupied by a single tenant as of June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Article 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC. The statements of revenues and certain expenses include the historical revenues and certain operating expenses of the Property, exclusive of items which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property. Material amounts that would not be directly attributable to future operating results of the Property are excluded, and therefore, the statements of revenues and certain expenses are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses. Items excluded consist of interest expense, depreciation and amortization and federal and state income taxes.

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented, as certain expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., or the Company, in the future operations of the Property have been excluded.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The lease is classified as an operating lease. Tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs are recognized as rental income in the period that the expenses are incurred.

Repairs and Maintenance

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while significant improvements, renovations and replacements are capitalized.

Property Management Fees

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the owners of the Property contracted with a related entity of the Company to manage the Property for no compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Property incurred no property management fees.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Unaudited Interim Information

The statement of revenues and certain expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statement reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE 3 – LEASES

The Property has entered into an operating lease agreement with the tenant at the Property that expires in 2019. The aggregate annual future minimum lease payments to be received under the existing non-cancelable operating lease as of June 30, 2011 are as follows:

The lease at the Property also requires reimbursement of the tenant’s share of common area expenses, real estate taxes and other expenses, which are not included in the amounts above. The tenant lease includes tenant renewal options that can extend the lease term.

NOTE 4 – TENANT CONCENTRATION

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Property had one tenant occupying 100% (unaudited) of the total gross leasable area, which accounted for 100% (unaudited) of the total base rent.

Aggregate base rent is based on contractual base rent from the lease in effect as of June 30, 2011. If this tenant was to default on its lease and a substitute tenant is not found, future revenue of the Property would be materially and adversely impacted.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Property had one tenant occupying 100% of the Property’s total gross leaseable area, which accounted for 100% of the total base rent.

Aggregate base rent is based on contractual base rent from the lease in effect as of December 31, 2010. If this tenant were to default on its lease and a substitute tenant is not found, future revenue of the Property would be materially and adversely impacted.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Property had one tenant occupying 100% of the Property’s total gross leaseable area, which accounted for 100% of the total base rent.

Aggregate base rent is based on contractual base rent from the lease in effect as of December 31, 2009. If this tenant were to default on its lease and a substitute tenant is not found, future revenue of the Property would be materially and adversely impacted.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Property may be subject to legal claims in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of potential claims, the outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property’s results of operations or financial condition.

5

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Property may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Property has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and management is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the Property’s results of operations.

Other Matters

Other commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of a real estate property in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Property’s financial position and/or results of operations.
