Independent Auditors’ Report

The Partners
Madison NYC Core Retail Partners, LP:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Madison NYC Core Retail Partners, LP, which comprise the statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ capital, including the schedule of investment, as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of 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 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 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 entity’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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Madison NYC Core Retail Partners, LP as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Madison NYC Core Retail Partners, LP
(a Delaware limited partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements    
For the Year Ended December 31, 2017


Note 1.    Organization and Principal Business Activities
Madison NYC Core Retail Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership formed pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware on October 15, 2015, in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement. Madison International Holdings NYC Core Retail, LLC is the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”). Madison NYC Core Retail Manager, LLC, is the Joint Venture manager for the Partnership (“JV Manager”). Madison International Realty PM, LLC is the property manager of the real estate properties in the underlying portfolio (“Property Manager”), which engaged a third party property manager. As of December 31, 2017, the Partnership has capital commitments of $308,687,572 from Limited Partners and $618,601 of capital commitments from the General Partner. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the partnership agreement, as amended (“Partnership Agreement”).
On September 14, 2017, the Limited Partners and General Partner executed an amended and restated Partnership Agreement, which allowed the Partnership to sponsor a 51% joint venture recapitalization of the Joint Venture. The recapitalization closed on 10 of the 13 properties on December 22, 2017, which converted the Partnership’s 49% common equity interest, to a 98% common equity interest, while the Joint Venture partner, Forest City Realty Trust, Inc. retained a 2% common equity interest and received a 100% preferred equity interest. On a hypothetical liquidation basis of the Joint Venture’s net assets, the Partnership would receive approximately 49% of the proceeds as at December 31, 2017. As a result of the recapitalization, an affiliate of the General Partner assumed operational control of the Joint Venture and will indirectly operate the properties. In addition, a new affiliate partnership, Madison NYC Core Retail Partners II, LP, was created as part of this recapitalization, and its investors committed the equity to acquire 10 of the 13 properties of the Joint Venture, if certain events occur.
The sole purpose of the Partnership is to make an equity investment in the Joint Venture Interests. The strategy of the Partnership and its investee is to own partnership interests that own and manage 13 core retail properties in and around New York City. The Partnership will directly or indirectly hold for investment, oversee the liquidation or other disposition of, and otherwise manage and exercise all of the rights of an owner of the Investment and its assets, and to do any and all other acts or things which the General Partner may determine are necessary thereto.
As of December 31, 2017, the Partnership has called $309,306,173 or 100% of the total capital commitments.
The Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2030, unless terminated earlier, or extended for additional consecutive five-year periods by a Super-Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners.

Note 2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to which investments in real estate ventures are presented on a fair value basis. The Partnership qualifies as an Investment Company as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services─Investment Companies.
Allocation of profits and losses. The General Partner shall allocate profits and losses and make cash distributions in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The capital account balances at December 31, 2017 represent each Partner’s cumulative contributions, allocation of profits, losses and cash distributions paid pursuant to the distribution priority described in the Partnership Agreement. In addition, the capital account balances at December 31, 2017 reflect each Partner’s share of cash which would be distributed to the Partners under a hypothetical liquidation of the Partnership at net book value as of December 31, 2017.

Notes to Financial Statements    
For the Year Ended December 31, 2017


Note 2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions for the Partnership relate to the valuation of the investment in real estate venture.
Cash. The Partnership maintains its cash account with a financial institution which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses on the account.
Income Taxes. No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements since the income or loss from the Partnership is allocated to each partner in accordance with the provisions mandated by the Partnership Agreement, and is passed through directly to each partner and reported on their individual tax returns.
The Partnership evaluates the uncertainties of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a return based on the probability of whether the position taken will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Partnership uses a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or to be taken on a tax return. In accordance with the accounting guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Partnership assessed its tax positions for the open tax years 2015 through 2017. The Partnership concluded that it has no material uncertain tax liabilities to be recognized at this time.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 provides that any tax adjustments resulting from partnership audits will generally be determined, and any resulting tax, interest and penalties collected, at the partnership level for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 allows a partnership to elect to apply these provisions to any return of the partnership filed for partnership taxable years beginning after the date of the enactment, November 2, 2015. The Partnership does not intend to elect to apply these provisions for any tax return filed for partnership taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018.

Organizational Expenses. Organizational expenses are expenses incurred in connection with the organization, formation and recapitalization of the Investment Entities, including legal, accounting, marketing, printing costs, filing fees and transportation and meal and lodging expenses. Organizational expenses are expensed at the time when they are incurred.
Syndication Costs. Syndication costs are expenses incurred in connection with the offering of interests in the Partnership, including legal, accounting, marketing, printing costs, filing fees and transportation and meal and lodging expenses. Syndication costs are reflected as a reduction in the Statement of Changes in Partners’ Capital when they are incurred.
Revenue and Expense Recognition. Operating distributions received by the Partnership are reported on the Statement of Operations as dividend income. Realized gains are recognized when liquidating proceeds in excess of investment cost are received. Expenses are recognized when incurred.
Investment Valuation. The Partnership’s investment is composed of an equity interest in real estate venture. This investment is accounted for at estimated fair value and reflects the Partnership’s allocable share of the fair value of such investment. The General Partner has estimated a value for such investment based upon available information concerning the market for real property investments including, but not limited to, the estimated liquidation value of investments, the value of comparable assets, the replacement costs, impact on value due to ground leases and the income and cash flows expected to be generated by the investment. Specifically, fair value is the cost of the investment, net of distributions of capital from its acquisition date through the date of the financial statements, plus an estimate of any unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Note 2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Valuation methods for investment in real estate venture may include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
1)
Discounted Cash Flows - forecasts of future net cash flows during the holding period, anticipated net proceeds from the sale, disposition or resolution of the investment, discounted at prevailing market rates;
2)
Income Capitalization - prevailing market capitalization rates or earnings multiples applied to stabilized income or adjusted earnings from the investment and other observable market data;
3)
Sales Comparable - recent sales of comparable investments;
4)
Offer Price - sale negotiations and bona fide purchase offers, contracts received from independent parties, or estimated proceeds from sold assets.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of the fair value measurements. This standard defines fair value as the price that the Partnership would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market at the measurement date. The standard establishes a three-level hierarchy based on inputs to fair value measurements. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investment, including assumptions about risk.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this standard are described below:

· Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Partnership has the ability to access at the measurement date. This level of the fair value hierarchy provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

· Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment. These are inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

· Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the investments that are used to measure fair value when observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investment. These are inputs that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Partnership’s own data.

Because of the inherent uncertainty of real estate valuations related to assumptions regarding highest and best use, capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing and other factors, the estimated fair values reflected in the financial statements may differ significantly from values that would be determined by negotiation between independent parties in sales transactions, and the difference could be material. These valuations are generally classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Level 3 valuations are derived by first determining the valuation at the underlying property, typically by performing an internal valuation. Factors impacting value may include, but are not limited to, changes in the macroeconomic environment (interest rates, etc.), change in local property markets (cap rates, etc.) or changes in property level performance (operating statements, rent rolls, ground leases, etc.). The General Partner will assess the value of the underlying property through information obtained from the sponsor and other external sources including financial statements, rent rolls, operating statements, current market data, comparable property sales, and additional property level and sponsor due diligence.

Notes to Financial Statements    
For the Year Ended December 31, 2017


Note 2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
Once a property level valuation is completed, the General Partner will make adjustments to deduct property debt and selling expenses from the projected residual proceeds. The General Partner then applies its ownership percentage to the adjusted value consistent with the partnership waterfall calculation including accrued preferred returns. This will determine each investment valuation at a given reporting period.

The General Partner considers the illiquid nature of the investment and may apply an illiquidity discount to such current value. This illiquidity discount initially correlates to the General Partner discount to value on the date the investment is made. Subsequently, the General Partner will review factors including changes in expected hold period, leasing activity at the property, transparency on the timing of the investment’s expected liquidation and other market conditions that could influence this illiquidity discount.
 
The significant inputs into expected future cash flows depend upon the category and nature of the investment and the underlying assets. The discount rates applied are estimates of market rates based on the nature, location, risk and leverage inherent in the investment and the underlying assets. In addition, the General Partner considers security features, contractual rights or guarantees, sale agreements and return provisions.

Investment valuations are reviewed and approved on a quarterly basis by the Partnership’s valuation committee, inclusive of an analysis of any changes to valuations, assumptions and methodologies.

* One of the thirteen of the underlying properties is subject to a ground lease that will have a rent reset in 2018. The General Partner made certain assumptions as it relates to the market rent for this lease at reset date in addition to three other properties with resets in future years.
The Partnership changed the valuation technique in determining fair value for three underlying properties from Discounted Cash Flows as of December 31, 2016, to Income Capitalization as of December 31, 2017, to better reflect the current status of the investments.

Certain of the underlying properties’ mortgage loans matured during 2017. Management obtained replacement financing or extended the loans. One underlying property’s mortgage loan defaulted in 2017 and management is actively working with the lender to find a solution. The related underlying property has no carrying value. The Partnership has considered the aforementioned uncertainty when determining the fair value of this investment.
Unobservable inputs used to determine Level 3 valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements than noted in the table above.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Note 4. Investment Funding and Other Commitments
The Partnership discloses financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of its investments. The disclosures include (i) the type and amount of financial support provided to investee companies, including situations in which the Partnership assisted an investee in obtaining financial support, (ii) the primary reasons for providing the financial support, (iii) the type and amount of financial support the Partnership is contractually required to provide to an investee, but has not yet provided, and (iv) the primary reasons for the contractual requirement to provide the financial support, other than recapitalization costs paid by the partnership on behalf of the Joint Venture.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Partnership made no contributions and has no unfunded obligations to its investments in existing real estate ventures.

The portfolio investment cannot be redeemed or sold until the earlier of (i) the date that Redemption (as defined in the Portfolio Venture Agreement) has occurred or February 20, 2020 and then subject to certain restrictions.
