Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company”), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, redevelopment and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and certain commercial real estate properties in selected markets in the United States. At March 31, 2012, the Company owned interests in 62 properties (consisting of 53 retail operating properties, five retail properties under redevelopment and four commercial operating properties). As of this date, the Company also had three in-process retail development properties.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests

The Company’s management has prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading. The unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis.

Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Company or the Operating Partnership that are controlled and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights. The Company consolidates properties that are wholly owned as well as properties it controls but in which it owns less than a 100% interest. Control of a property is demonstrated by, among other factors:

the Company’s ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or owner;

the inability of any other partner or owner to replace the Company as manager of the property; or

being the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company considers all relationships between itself and the VIE, including development agreements, management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance. The Company also continuously reassesses primary beneficiary status.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had investments in three joint ventures that are VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $16.5 million which is secured by assets of the VIEs with net book values totaling $62.9 million. The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs; however, the VIEs could sell the properties before the performance under a guarantee would be required.

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as it exercises significant influence over, but does not control, operating and financial policies. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and contributions and distributions.

Parkside Town Commons

The Company owns a noncontrolling interest in one land parcel (Parkside Town Commons), currently undergoing pre-development activities, which is accounted for under the equity method. Parkside Town Commons (Parkside) is owned through a joint venture agreement with Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”). This joint venture was formed with the purpose of developing, constructing, leasing, and managing a community shopping center in Cary, North Carolina. As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned a 40% interest in the joint venture which, under the terms of the agreement with PREI, will be reduced to 20% upon the commencement of construction. The Company has determined that Parkside is a VIE and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. All significant decisions for the joint venture, including those decisions that most significantly impact its economic performance, require approval of both partners.

The Centre

In February 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 40% interest in The Centre, a consolidated redevelopment property, from its joint venture partners and assumed all leasing and management responsibilities of the property. The purchase price of the 40% interest was $2.2 million, including the settlement of a $0.6 million loan previously made by the Company. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction as the Company retained its controlling financial interest. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was eliminated, and the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the noncontrolling interest was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company reports its noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	2012			2011
Noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	4,250,485		$	6,914,264
Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests, excluding redeemable noncontrolling interests		2,111,763			16,586
Acquisition of noncontrolling interest in The Centre		—			(2,244,333	)
Distributions to noncontrolling interests		(1,578,950	)		(375,045	)
Noncontrolling interests balance at March 31	$	4,783,298		$	4,311,472

The Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because the Company may be required to pay cash to unitholders upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership under certain circumstances. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is required to be reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not materially exceed the historical book value, so no adjustment was necessary.

The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	2012			2011
Redeemable noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	41,836,613		$	44,115,028
Net loss allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests		(14,743	)		(87,080	)
Accrued distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interests		(470,130	)		(471,270	)
Other comprehensive income allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests 1		11,550			148,631
Exchange of redeemable noncontrolling interest for common stock		(91,000	)		(52,000	)
Adjustment to redeemable noncontrolling interests - operating partnership		(205,605	)		(70,555	)
Redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at March 31	$	41,066,685		$	43,582,754

____________________

The following sets forth accumulated other comprehensive loss allocable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

	2012			2011
Accumulated comprehensive loss balance at January 1	$	(187,885	)	$	(359,798	)
Other comprehensive income allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests 1		11,550			148,631

____________________
1	Represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges (see Note 7).

The Company allocates net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred dividends and noncontrolling interest in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership. This adjustment is reflected in the Company’s shareholders’ equity. The Company’s and the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average interests in the Operating Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Company’s weighted average basic interest in Operating Partnership		89.0	%		89.0	%
Redeemable noncontrolling weighted average basic interests in Operating Partnership		11.0	%		11.0	%

At March 31, 2012, the Company’s and the redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 89.1% and 10.9%.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined with the incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive shares were converted into common shares as of the earliest date possible.

Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding common share options, units in the Operating Partnership, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Company’s option, under certain circumstances, and deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees. Due to the Company’s net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the potentially dilutive securities were not dilutive for those periods.

Approximately 1.7 million outstanding common share options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was not dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Note 4. Litigation Charge

The Company was a claimant in a matter of arbitration against a former tenant of one of its operating properties. In this matter, the former tenant counterclaimed, alleging damages caused by the Company’s withholding of its consent to the assignment to a third party of its lease with the tenant. On March 29, 2012, the Company received a notice of an interim arbitration award and order (the “Interim Order”) which awarded to the tenant damages plus attorneys’ fees and costs of $1.3 million. The Company has estimated and accrued a charge of $1.3 million in the first quarter 2012 statement of operations. This amount is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying March 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes that any adjustment in the final order by the arbitration panel will be immaterial.

Note 5. Mortgage and Other Indebtedness

Mortgage and construction loans are collateralized by certain real estate properties and leases. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2022. Variable interest rates on mortgage and construction loans are based on LIBOR plus spreads ranging from 125 to 350 basis points. At March 31, 2012, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.24%. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 5.16% to 6.78%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had total loan borrowings of $34.1 million and total loan repayments of $76.8 million. The major components of this activity are as follows:

·	A draw of $25.0 million was made on the unsecured revolving credit facility that was primarily utilized to retire the $24.7 million fixed rate loan that was secured by Cedar Hill Plaza;

·	A repayment of $30.0 million was made on the unsecured revolving credit facility utilizing the majority of the proceeds from the March 2012 perpetual preferred offering;

·	The Company made draws on construction loans related to the Cobblestone Plaza, Delray Marketplace, Rivers Edge, South Elgin Commons, and Zionsville Walgreens developments totaling $9.1 million;

·	The Company retired the $20.4 million variable rate loan secured by Gateway Shopping Center utilizing a portion of the sales proceeds from the sale of the operating property;

·	The Company made scheduled principal payments on all indebtedness totaling $1.8 million.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan

On April 30, 2012, the Company entered into a new $115 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is scheduled to mature on April 30, 2019 with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 210 to 310 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage. The Company has the option to increase the Term Loan by $10 million to $125 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently a party to the Term Loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Company received initial proceeds of $115 million from the Term Loan, which were utilized to retire the Company’s upcoming debt maturities including loans secured by Rivers Edge, Cobblestone Plaza, Estero Town Commons, Tarpon Springs Plaza, and Fox Lake Crossing and the remaining proceeds were utilized to partially pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

On May 4, 2012, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap that fixed the LIBOR rate on $115 million of variable rate debt at 1.51%. If this is applied to the current Term Loan interst rate of LIBOR plus 260 basis points, the all-in rate is 4.11%.

In addition, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The amended terms include an extension of the maturity date to April 30, 2016, which maturity may be extended for an additional year at the Company’s option subject to certain conditions, and a reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 190 to 290 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage. The unsecured facility has a fee of 25 to 35 basis points on unused borrowings. The amount that the Company may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of assets in the unencumbered property pool.

As of March 31, 2012, the unencumbered property pool consisted of 48 properties and other assets, of which 44 were wholly-owned and four were owned through joint ventures. As of March 31, 2012, $129.7 million was outstanding under the unsecured facility. In addition, the Company had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $4.4 million. As of March 31, 2012, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments. The amount that the Company may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of assets in its unencumbered property pool. As of March 31, 2012, the maximum amount that may be borrowed under the unsecured facility was $188.1 million, and the amount available for future borrowings was approximately $54 million.

The Company’s ability to borrow under the unsecured facility is subject to ongoing compliance with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales. In addition, the unsecured facility also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of fixed rate debt was $378.8 million compared to the book value of $349.6 million. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 3.00% to 4.73%. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of variable rate debt was $299.4 million compared to the book value of $296.8 million. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments which ranged from 2.24% to 7.85%.

Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity

In March 2012, the Company completed an offering of 1,300,000 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares and realized net offering proceeds of $31.3 million. These net proceeds were initially utilized to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The terms of the offering were consistent with the previously issued 2.8 million Series A preferred shares.

In March 2012, the Company entered into Equity Distribution Agreements pursuant to which it may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $50 million of its common shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued 98,200 common shares under this agreement for net proceeds $0.4 million at an average price of $5.25.

In February 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Trustees approved long-term equity incentive compensation awards totaling 245,163 restricted shares to members of executive management and certain other employees. The restricted shares were granted at a fair value of $5.40 and will vest ratably over periods ranging from three to five years.

On February 8, 2012, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.515625 per preferred share covering the distribution period from December 2, 2011 to March 1, 2012. This distribution was paid on March 1, 2012 to shareholders of record as of February 21, 2012.

On March 20, 2012, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.06 per common share and per Operating Partnership unit for the first quarter of 2012. These distributions were paid on April 13, 2012 to common shareholders and unitholders of record as of April 5, 2012.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 7,000 Operating Partnership units were exchanged for the same number of common shares.

Note 7. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income

The Company is exposed to capital market risk, including changes in interest rates. In order to manage volatility relating to variable interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate hedging transactions from time to time. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes nor does the Company have any derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges. The Company has an agreement with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the provisions of all of its debt agreements. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was party to various consolidated cash flow hedge agreements with notional amounts totaling $29.5 million, which effectively fixes certain variable rate debt over various terms through 2017. Utilizing a weighted average spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in fixing the weighted average interest rate at 5.45%.

These interest rate hedge agreements are the only assets or liabilities that the Company records at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques including discounted cash flow analyses, which consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs for identical instruments that are classified within Level 1 and observable inputs for similar instruments that are classified within Level 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3). In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is 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.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

At March 31, 2012 the fair value of the Company’s interest rate hedge liabilities was $1.6 million, including accrued interest of $52,000, and was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2011 the fair value of the Company’s interest rate hedge liabilities was $1.7 million, including accrued interest of $43,000, and was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company currently expects an increase to interest expense of $0.7 million over the next 12 months as the hedged forecasted interest payments occur. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, $0.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was reclassified as a reduction to earnings.

The Company’s share of net unrealized gains on its interest rate hedge agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The following sets forth comprehensive income allocable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Net loss attributable to Kite Realty Group Trust common shareholders	$	(31,074	)	$	(706,817	)
Other comprehensive income allocable to Kite Realty Group Trust1		84,997			1,191,349
Comprehensive income attributable to Kite Realty Group Trust common shareholders	$	53,923		$	484,532

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Eddy Street Commons at Notre Dame

Phase I of Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame is a multi-phase project located adjacent to the university in South Bend, Indiana. Eddy Street Commons includes retail, office, a limited service hotel, a parking garage, apartment and residential units and is expected to include a full service hotel.

The City of South Bend, Indiana has contributed $35 million to the development, funded by tax increment financing (TIF) bonds issued by the City and a cash commitment from the City, both of which were used for the construction of the parking garage and infrastructure improvements to this project. The majority of the bonds are expected to be funded by real estate tax payments made by the Company and subject to reimbursement from the tenants of the property; however, the Company has no obligation to repay or guarantee the bonds. If there are delays in the development, the Company is obligated to pay certain fees. However, it has an agreement with the City of South Bend to limit its exposure to a maximum of $1 million as to such fees. In addition, the Company will not be in default concerning other obligations under the agreement with the City of South Bend as long as it commences and diligently pursues the completion of its obligations under that agreement.

Although the Company does not own or expect to own either the residential or the apartment complex components of the project, the Company has jointly guaranteed the apartment developer’s construction loan, which at March 31, 2012, had an outstanding balance of $30.3 million. The construction of the apartment has been completed and the developer is in the process of replacing the construction loan with permanent financing, at which time the Company’s guarantee will be removed. The Company also has a contractual obligation in the form of a completion guarantee to the University of Notre Dame and a similar agreement in favor of the City of South Bend to complete all phases and the Company expects its portion to be approximately $64 million, with the exception of certain of the residential units, consistent with commitments the Company typically makes in connection with other bank-funded development projects. If the Company fails to fulfill its contractual obligations in connection with the project, but is timely commencing and pursuing a cure, it will not be in default to either the University of Notre Dame or the City of South Bend.

Joint Venture Indebtedness

Joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by the assets of the joint venture under circumstances where the lender has limited recourse to the Company. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was $5.8 million, which was entirely related to the Parkside Town Commons development.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company other than routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company is obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of our in-process development and redevelopment projects. The Company believes it currently has sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expects to do so primarily through existing or new construction loans. In addition, if necessary, it may make draws on its unsecured facility.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.4 million. At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.

Note 9. Discontinued Operations

On February 16, 2012, the Company and its joint venture partner sold its Gateway Shopping Center operating property in Marysville, Washington for a sales price of $29.4 million and a consolidated gain of $5.2 million. The Company’s share of the gain was $3.1 million and our partner’s noncontrolling interest share of the gain was $2.1 million. The operating property was previously owned by a VIE where the Company was the primary beneficiary. The operating results related to this property are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The results of the discontinued operations related to Gateway Shopping Center were comprised of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in connection with the accompanying historical financial statements and related notes thereto. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its subsidiaries.

Overview

Our Business and Properties

Kite Realty Group Trust, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, redevelopment, and development of neighborhood and community shopping centers and certain commercial real estate properties in selected markets in the United States. We derive revenues primarily from rents and reimbursement payments received from tenants under leases at our properties. Our operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments, conditions in the United States retail sector, and overall economic and real estate market conditions.

As of March 31, 2012, we owned interests in a portfolio of 53 retail operating properties totaling 8.1 million square feet of gross leasable area (including non-owned anchor space) and four operating commercial properties totaling 0.6 million square feet of net rentable area and an associated parking garage. At this date we also had an interest in five in-process development or redevelopment properties which, upon completion, are anticipated to have 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (including non-owned anchor space).

In addition to our in-process developments and redevelopments, we have future developments which include land parcels that are undergoing pre-development activity and are in various stages of preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for third party financing. As of March 31, 2012, these future developments consisted of three projects that are expected to contain 2.0 million square feet of total gross leasable area upon completion.

Finally, as of March 31, 2012, we also owned interests in other land parcels comprising 101 acres that may be used for future expansion of existing properties, development of new retail or commercial properties or sold to third parties. These land parcels are classified as “Land held for development” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Current Business Environment

Economic conditions have remained uneven during the first quarter of 2012. A stabilized economic recovery has not been achieved due to continued challenges in the labor market, the housing market, and concerns over the U.S. federal government’s ability to respond to these challenges. Overall, economic growth in the United States continued to improve during the first three months of 2012 with an increase in durable goods orders and increase in consumer spending. Certain retailers continue to announce plans to increase their store openings over the next 24 months. However, other retailers, most notably Best Buy, announced store closings during the current quarter. This volatility in retailer performance could benefit existing retail centers in strong locations due to the limited amount of new construction activity.

As noted above, certain retailers are continuing to consider the expansion of their businesses and in certain cases have expressed optimism through expansion plans and capital allocation decisions. Where prudent and consistent with our strategy, we will seek to capitalize on our relationships with tenants to maximize our growth. We believe there will continue to be additional leasing opportunities during 2012 and into 2013, particularly as tenants seek to lease new or renew existing space in connection with lease expirations, expansions, and other considerations.

The positive momentum identified by certain retailers has been tempered by inconsistent U.S. economic growth, slowing employment growth, and uncertainty around the U.S. budget deficit and European sovereign debt issues. These tempering factors have led to conditions that may continue to impact our business in a number of ways, including the following: soft consumer demand; increasing tenant bankruptcies; curtailment of certain of our tenants’ operations; delays or postponements by current or potential tenants from entering into long-term leases with us; decreased demand for retail space; difficulty in collecting rent; our need to make rent adjustments and concessions; our outlay of additional capital to assist a tenant in the opening of its business; and termination by our tenants of their leases with us.

Ongoing Actions Taken to Capitalize on the Current Business Environment

During the current quarter, we continued to execute on our strategy to maximize shareholder value, including:

Development and Redevelopment Activities: We continued construction at our Delray Marketplace project in Delray Beach, Florida. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has executed 26 leases at this property, including anchors Publix and Frank Theatres, and the property is 73.4 % leased or committed. The total estimated costs of this project are expected to be $93 million, and the project is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company also continued site construction at its New Hill Place project in Holly Springs, North Carolina (Raleigh MSA). During the quarter, the Company sold 12.9 acres of land to, and entered into a site development agreement with, the Target Corporation, which will anchor the first phase of the project in a 135,000 square foot building. As of March 31, 2012, the project is 76.2% leased or committed.

The Company turned over space to Whole Foods at its Oleander Place redevelopment in Wilmington, North Carolina. As of March 31, 2012, the project is 80.5% leased or committed.

Strengthen the Balance Sheet. In March 2012, we completed an offering of 1,300,000 shares of 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares for net offering proceeds of $31.3 million. The majority of the net proceeds were initially utilized to reduce the outstanding balance on our unsecured revolving credit facility. The terms of the offering were consistent with the previously issued 2.8 million Series A preferred shares.

In April 2012, we closed on a $115 million unsecured term loan with a seven-year term and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 210 to 310 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage. The net proceeds of this loan were used to pay off the loans secured by Estero Town Commons, Tarpon Springs Plaza, Cobblestone Plaza, Rivers Edge, and Fox Lake Crossing and to pay down a portion of the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Access the Capital Markets. We are party to Equity Distribution Agreements pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $50 million of our common shares. We continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. During the first quarter, the Company issued 98,200 shares for net proceeds $0.4 million at an average price of $5.25.

Continued Focus on Operations. We continued to execute on our operating and leasing strategy. During the current quarter, we executed new and renewal leases totaling 88,000 square feet and improved the leased percentage and net operating income of our operating retail properties. Our same property net operating income improved 5.4% due to an improved overall leased percentage and lower property operating expenses.

Results of Operations

At March 31, 2012, we owned interests in 62 properties consisting of 53 retail operating properties, five retail properties under redevelopment, and four operating commercial properties. As of this date, we also owned interests in three in-process retail development properties.

At March 31, 2011, we owned interests in 62 properties consisting of 52 retail operating properties, six retail properties under redevelopment, and four operating commercial properties. As of this date, we also owned interests in two in-process retail development properties.

The comparability of results of operations in 2011 and 2012 is affected by our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities during these periods. Therefore, we believe it is useful to review the comparisons of our results of operations for these periods in conjunction with the discussion of our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities during those periods, which is set forth below.

Development Activities

The following development properties were partially operational at various times from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012:

Property Name	MSA	Economic Occupancy Date1	Owned GLA

South Elgin Commons, Phase II2	Chicago, IL	September 2011	83,000

1	Represents the date on which we started receiving rental payments under tenant leases or ground leases at the property or the tenant took possession of the property, whichever was earlier.

2	Construction of each of these properties was completed in phases. The Economic Occupancy Date indicated for each of these properties refers to its initial phase.

Property Acquisition Activities

In February 2011, the Company acquired Oleander Place in Wilmington, North Carolina for a purchase price of $3.5 million. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company executed a lease termination agreement with the former anchor and a new lease with Whole Foods and transitioned the property to an in-process redevelopment. In connection with the lease termination agreement, the Company received a lease termination fee of $0.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company completed plans for the redevelopment and recognized $0.5 million of accelerated depreciation and amortization.

In June 2011, the Company acquired Lithia Crossing, an unencumbered shopping center in Tampa, Florida, for a purchase price of $13.3 million.

Property Disposition Activities

In February 2012, the Company and its joint venture partner sold Gateway Shopping Center in Marysville, Washington for a sales price of $29.4 million. The net proceeds were utilized to retire the variable-rate loan of $20.4 million, and the Company’s share of the remaining proceeds were approximately $7 million.

Redevelopment Activities

The following properties were in redevelopment status at various times during the period from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012:

Property Name	MSA	Transition Date1	Owned GLA

Courthouse Shadows	Naples, Florida	September 2008	134,867

____________________
1	Transition date represents the date the property was transferred from our operating portfolio to our redevelopment projects.
2	This property was transitioned to the operating portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Other Property Activities

In February 2011, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 40% interest in The Centre, a redevelopment property in Indianapolis, Indiana from its joint venture partners and assumed all leasing and management responsibilities for the property. The purchase price of the 40% interest was $2.2 million, including the settlement of a $0.6 million loan made by the Company.

Same Property Net Operating Income

The Company believes that net operating income (“NOI”) is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any. The Company believes that NOI for our “same properties” (“Same Property NOI”) is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of the Company's properties. NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance.

The following table reflects same property net operating income (and reconciliation to net loss attributable to common shareholders) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended December 31,

Leased percentage at period end		93.1	%		92.5	%

Net operating income – same properties (52 properties)2	$	14,003,779		$	13,289,573			5.4	%

Reconciliation to Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measure:

Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) increased $2.2 million, or 9.8%, due to the following:

	Net change 2011 to 2012
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2011 and/or 2012	$	848,983
Properties acquired in 2011		315,128
Properties under redevelopment during 2011 and/or 2012		496,489
Properties fully operational during 2011 and 2012 and other		577,212
Total	$	2,237,812

Excluding the changes due to transitioned development properties, acquired properties and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.6 million increase is primarily attributable to improved occupancy levels and improvement in rental rates. The leased percentage of the retail operating portfolio improved to 93.4% as of March 31, 2012 compared to 92.3% leased as of March 31, 2011. In addition as noted below, there were increases in reimbursable expenses, notably real estate taxes, which resulted in increased tenant reimbursement revenue. For the total portfolio and excluding the effect of parking operations, the overall recovery ratio for reimbursable expenses was 76.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 72.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease settlement income and gains related to land sales. This revenue increased $0.3 million, or 38%, primarily as a result of event-related revenue of $0.3 million, improved parking revenue of $0.1 million, and gains on land sales of $0.1 million partially offset by lower termination fee revenue of $0.2 million in the current quarter.

Property operating expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 2.9%, due to the following:

	Net change 2011 to 2012
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2011 and/or 2012	$	1,227
Properties acquired in 2011		64,588
Properties under redevelopment during 2011 and/or 2012		54,287
Properties fully operational during 2011 and 2012 and other		(259,087	)
Total	$	(138,985	)

Excluding the changes due to transitioned development properties, acquired properties, and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.3 million decrease in property operating expenses relates primarily to a decrease in snow removal expense of $0.7 million partially offset by increases in legal costs.

Real estate taxes increased $0.5 million, or 16.3%, due to the following:

	Net change 2011 to 2012
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2011 and/or 2012	$	100,783
Properties acquired in 2011		49,681
Properties under redevelopment during 2011 and/or 2012		147,084
Properties fully operational during 2011 and 2012 and other		225,469
Total	$	523,017

Excluding the changes due to transitioned development properties, acquired properties and the properties under redevelopment, the net $0.2 million increase in real estate taxes was primarily due to the timing of the reassessments of our operating properties. The majority of increases and decreases in our real estate tax expense from increased assessments and subsequent appeals is recoverable from (or reimbursable to) tenants and, therefore, reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.

General, administrative and other expenses decreased $24,000, or 1.3%, due to a slight decrease in certain public company costs.

The Company recorded a litigation charge of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As discussed above, this relates to the damages and attorneys’ fees related to the Interim Order. See additional discussion in Footnote 4.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.7 million, or 8.1%, due to the following:

	Net change 2011 to 2012
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2011 and/or 2012	$	330,495
Properties acquired in 2011		(300,654	)
Properties under redevelopment during 2011 and/or 2012		473,558
Properties fully operational during 2011 and 2012 and other		224,151
Total	$	727,550

The overall increase of $0.7 million was due to the following significant items:

· An increase of $0.7 million related to accelerated depreciation for a portion of Four Corner Square redevelopment. A redevelopment plan for this property was finalized during the first quarter of 2012, resulting in a reduction of the useful lives of certain assets that were scheduled to be demolished.

· An increase of $0.2 million related to tenants opening at recently completed development and redevelopment properties including Cobblestone Plaza, Rivers Edge, and South Elgin Commons.

· A decrease of $0.5 million related to Oleander Place reflecting accelerated depreciation and amortization expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as development plans were finalized during that period.

Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 17%. This increase was primarily due to Cobblestone Plaza, Rivers Edge, and South Elgin Commons – Phase II being transitioned to the operating portfolio. All of these properties were under various stages of construction during 2011. In addition, the Company’s average debt balance for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased over the same period of the prior year.

The Company had income related to discontinued operations of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to income of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. In February 2012, the Company and its joint venture partner sold Gateway Shopping Center in Marysville, Washington for a consolidated gain of $5.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the purchase price of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities.

Our Principal Capital Resources

For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 26. In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources.

In addition, on April 30, 2012, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The amended terms include an extension of the maturity date to April 30, 2016, which maturity may be extended for an additional year at the Company’s option subject to certain conditions, and a reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 190 to 290 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage. The unsecured facility has a fee of 25 to 35 basis points on unused borrowings. The amount that the Company may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of assets in its unencumbered property pool.

As of March 31, 2012, the unencumbered property pool consisted of 48 properties and other assets, of which 44 were wholly-owned and four were owned through joint ventures. As of March 31, 2012, $129.7 million was drawn under the unsecured facility. In addition, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.4 million. As of March 31, 2012, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments. The amount that we may borrow under the unsecured facility is based on the value of assets in our unencumbered property pool and, as of March 31, 2012, the maximum that may be drawn was $188.1 million; as a result, the amount available to us for future draws under the unsecured facility was approximately $54 million. For more information regarding the terms and conditions of the unsecured facility, including interest rates, applicable financial and other covenants and our ability to make distributions, see the discussion in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 4, 2012.

We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the unsecured facility as of March 31, 2012.

In addition to the unsecured facility, we have a separate $4.3 million revolving line of credit that is secured by the Fishers Station anchor tenant. There are no amounts outstanding under this line of credit as of March 31, 2012.

In the future, we may raise additional capital by pursuing joint venture capital partners and/or disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy. The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale. We will also continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities.

Our Principal Liquidity Needs

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest—primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow in uncertain economic times, the recent economic downturn adversely affected the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations.

Short-Term Liquidity Needs

Near-Term Debt Maturities, As of March 31, 2012, we had a total of $71.5 million of property-level debt with scheduled maturity dates over the next 12 months. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we closed on the $115 million Term Loan. Proceeds from this issuance were utilized to retire multiple loans that were scheduled to mature over the next 12 months, including the following: the $34.0 million construction loan secured by Cobblestone Plaza, the $10.5 million variable rate loan secured by Estero Town Commons, the $12.2 million variable rate loan secured by Tarpon Springs Plaza, and the $10.7 million fixed rate loan secured by Fox Lake Crossing. With respect to the remaining $4.1 million of debt maturing in the next 12 months (excluding scheduled principal payments), we are in discussions with long-term financing sources to enable us to repay, refinance, or extend the maturity date of these loans. We may also seek to access funds available under our credit facility and to access the capital markets, including common or preferred shares, to raise proceeds to repay a portion of this debt.

Failure to comply with our obligations under our loan agreements (including our payment obligations) could cause an event of default under such debt, which, among other things, could result in the loss of title to assets securing such loans, the acceleration of principal and interest payments or the termination of the debt facilities, or exposure to the risk of foreclosure. In addition, certain of our variable rate loans and construction loans contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by the Company of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured facility agreement will constitute an event of default under the loans, which could allow the lenders to accelerate the amounts due under the loans if we fail to satisfy these financial covenants. See “Item 1.A Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information related to the risks associated with our indebtedness.

After taking into account the use of proceeds from the Term Loan that closed on April 30, 2012 discussed above, our total indebtedness due to mature over the next twelve months is comprised of the following:

	Amounts due during the three months ended, excluding scheduled principal payments:
		June 30 2012		September 30 2012		December 31 2012		March 31 2013		Total
Mortgage Debt - Fixed Rate		$	—	$	—	$	—	$	4,112,393	$	4,112,393

Total		$	—	$	—	$	—	$	4,112,393	$	4,112,393

See also “Debt Maturities,” on page 26.

Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs. The nature of our business, coupled with the requirements for qualifying for REIT status and in order to receive a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders, necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis, which will cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments to our common and preferred shareholders and to persons who hold units in our Operating Partnership, and recurring capital expenditures. In March 2012, our Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.06 per common share and common operating partnership unit (or $4.3 million) for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. In February 2012, our Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.515625 per preferred share (or $1.4 million) for the period from December 2, 2011 to March 1, 2012.

When we lease space to new tenants, or renew leases for existing tenants, we also incur expenditures for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions. These amounts, as well as the amount of recurring capital expenditures that we incur, will vary from period to period. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $0.2 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred $0.9 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions (excluding first generation space and development and redevelopment properties). We currently anticipate incurring approximately $7 million to $8 million of additional major tenant improvements and renovation costs within the next twelve months at several of our operating and redevelopment properties. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund our investment in these projects through borrowings on our unsecured credit facility and construction loans. In certain circumstances, we may seek to place specific construction financing on these redevelopment projects.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the development of new properties, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.

In-Process Development and Redevelopment Properties. As of March 31, 2012, we had five in-process development or redevelopment projects. The total estimated cost, including our share and our joint venture partners’ share, for these projects is approximately $184 million, of which $89 million had been incurred as of March 31, 2012. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through construction loans.

Future Redevelopment Properties. As of March 31, 2012, three of our properties (Bolton Plaza, The Centre, and Courthouse Shadows) were undergoing preparation for redevelopment including leasing activity. We currently anticipate our total investment in these redevelopment projects will be approximately $10.2 million, of which $4 million had been incurred as of March 31, 2012; however, this amount may increase as redevelopment plans are finalized. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund our investment in the these projects through borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility. In certain circumstances, we may seek to place specific construction financing on these redevelopment projects.

Future Development Properties. In addition to our in-process developments, we have a future development pipeline, which includes land parcels that are in various stages of preparation for construction to commence, including pre-leasing activity and negotiations for third party financing. As of March 31, 2012, this future development pipeline consisted of three projects that are expected to contain approximately 2.0 million square feet of total leasable area. We currently anticipate the total estimated cost of these projects will be approximately $211 million, of which our share is currently expected to be approximately $93 million. Of the $211 million, approximately $95 million had been incurred as of March 31, 2012. Although we intend to develop these properties, we are not contractually obligated to complete any of these future developments. With respect to each future development project, our policy is not to commence vertical construction until pre-established leasing thresholds are achieved and the requisite third-party financing is in place. We intend to fund our investment in these developments primarily through new construction loans and joint ventures, as well as borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility, if necessary.

Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition and development of other properties, which would require additional capital. It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements. We would have to satisfy these needs through participation in joint venture arrangements, additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares and/or cash generated through property dispositions. We cannot be certain that we will have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements. We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, tenant relationships, and amount of existing retail space. Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.

1	Includes our $5.8 million share of the Parkside Town Commons construction loan.
2	Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company closed on the $115 million unsecured Term Loan. A portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan was utilized to retire the $10.7 million fixed rate loan maturing in 2012 that was secured by Fox Lake Crossing. A portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan was utilized to retire a total of $56.7 million of variable rate or construction loans maturing in 2013 that were secured by Tarpon Springs Plaza, Estero Town Commons, and Cobblestone Plaza. In addition, a portion of the proceeds was utilized to retire the $24.5 million construction maturing in 2016 that was secured by Rivers Edge.
3	Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company amended the terms of its unsecured revolving credit facility and extended the maturity date to April 30, 2016 with a one-year option to extend under certain circumstances.

Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents (including our pro-rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures’ cash) on hand of $16.2 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash and short-term cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions. While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits. We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions. Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Cash provided by operating activities was $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $0.7 million over the same period of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in real estate tax payments and the collection of a termination fee during the three months ended March 31, 2011 with no comparable activity during the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease was partially offset by a continued improvement in operating results.

Cash provided by investing activities was $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $21.3 million in the same period of 2011. Highlights of significant cash sources and uses are as follows:

·	Net proceeds of $31.6 million related to the sale of the Gateway Shopping Center operating property and land at our Broadstone Station future development for a multifamily development;

·	Decrease in acquisition activities of $3.4 million as Oleander Place was acquired in February 2011 and there were no acquisitions in the first quarter of 2012;

·	Increase in capital expenditures, net of $0.7 million as construction was ongoing at Delray Marketplace, Oleander Place, Cobblestone Plaza, Rivers Edge, and New Hill Place; and

·	Decrease in contributions of $5.5 million to Parkside Town Commons.

Cash used in financing activities was $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $8.0 million in the same period of 2011. Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in 2012 are as follows:

·	A draw of $25.0 million was made on the unsecured revolving credit facility that was primarily utilized to retire the $24.7 million fixed rate loan that was secured by Cedar Hill Plaza;

·	In March 2012, we issued 1.3 million shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares for net proceeds of $31.3 million. A repayment of $30.0 million was made on the unsecured revolving credit facility from the net proceeds of the offering

·	In March 2012, we issued 98,200 common shares pursuant to the Company’s equity distribution agreements, which generated net proceeds of $0.4 million.

·	Draws of $9.1 million were made on construction loans related to Cobblestone Plaza, Delray Marketplace, Rivers Edge, South Elgin Commons, Zionsville Walgreens to fund development and redevelopment activity.

·	The Company retired the $20.4 million variable rate loan secured by Gateway Shopping Center utilizing a portion of the sales proceeds from the sale of the operating property;

·	Distributions of $1.6 million to our partners in consolidated joint ventures. The majority of this relates to our partner’s share of net proceeds from the sale of Gateway Shopping Center.

·	Distributions to common shareholders and operating partnership unitholders of $4.3 million; and

·	Distributions to preferred shareholders of $1.4 million.

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations (“FFO”), is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as consolidated net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, preferred dividends, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for third-party shares of appropriate items.

Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in consolidated net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for a litigation charge recorded in the first quarter of 2012. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe that our presentation of adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and compared to our peers. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs.

Our calculation of FFO (and reconciliation to consolidated net income or loss, as applicable) and adjusted FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (unaudited) is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Consolidated net income (loss)	$	3,643,759		$	(777,311	)
Less dividends on preferred shares		(1,577,813	)		(1,443,750	)
Less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in properties		(26,770	)		(16,586	)
Less gain on sale of operating property		(5,151,989	)		—
Add depreciation and amortization, net of noncontrolling interests		9,717,308			9,097,586
Funds From Operations of the Kite Portfolio1		6,604,495			6,859,939
Less redeemable noncontrolling interests in Funds From Operations		(726,494	)		(754,593	)
Funds From Operations allocable to the Company1	$	5,878,001		$	6,105,346

Funds From Operations of the Kite Portfolio 1	$	6,604,495		$	6,859,939
Add back Litigation charge		1,289,446			—
Adjusted Funds From Operations of the Kite Portfolio 1	$	7,893,941		$	6,859,939

____________________
1	“Funds From Operations of the Kite Portfolio” measures 100% of the operating performance of our Operating Partnership’s real estate properties and subsidiaries in which the Company owns an interest. “Funds From Operations allocable to the Company” reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that in our opinion have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do, however, have certain obligations to some of the projects in our operating and future development properties, as well as our joint venture with PREI with respect to our Parkside Town Commons development, as discussed below. As of March 31, 2012, we owned a 40% interest in this joint venture which, under the terms thereof, will be reduced to 20% upon project specific construction financing.

As of March 31, 2012, our share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was $5.8 million. Unconsolidated joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by the assets of the joint venture. As of March 31, 2012, the Operating Partnership had guaranteed its $5.8 million share of the unconsolidated joint venture debt related to the Parkside Town Commons development in the event the joint venture partnership defaults under the terms of the underlying arrangement. Our partner in this joint venture also guarantees its share of the joint venture’s debt. Mortgages which are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture and the joint venture could sell the property in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation.

Contractual Obligations

Except with respect to our debt maturities as discussed on page 26, there have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. See “Debt Maturities” on page 26.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Related to Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

We had $646.4 million of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of March 31, 2012 (inclusive of net premiums on acquired debt of $0.1 million). As of this date, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $29.5 million, with maturities over various terms from 2016 through 2017. Including the effects of these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been $379.1 million (59%) and $267.2 million (41%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at March 31, 2012. Including our $5.8 million share of unconsolidated variable debt and the effect of related hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt is 58% and 42%, respectively, of the total of consolidated and our share of unconsolidated indebtedness at March 31, 2012.

Based on the amount of our fixed rate debt at March 31, 2012, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in its fair value of $15.4 million. A 100 basis point change in interest rates on our variable rate debt as of March 31, 2012 would change our annual cash flow by $2.7 million. Based upon the terms of our variable rate debt, we are most vulnerable to change in short-term LIBOR interest rates. The sensitivity analysis was estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates adjusted by 100 basis points.
