INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Retail Opportunity Investments Corp.
Purchase, New York

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses of the property known as Santa Ana, (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the "Historical Summary"). This Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summary 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 Historical Summary is free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as wel l as evaluating the overall Historical Summary presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in note 2 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses.
 
In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SANTA ANA
 
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
For the Year Ended December 31, 2009
 
1.Business and Organization
 
Santa Ana (the “Property”) is a shopping center located in Santa Ana, California.  The Property was owned by Regency, L.P.  The Property, which consists of two anchor tenants, has an aggregate gross rentable area of approximately 100,306 square feet.  The two anchor tenants occupy approximately 60,000 square feet.
 
On January 26, 2010, the Property was acquired by ROIC Santa Ana, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Retail Opportunity Investments Corp., an unaffiliated party (the “Company”).
 
2.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses (Historical Summary) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC. The Historical Summary includes the historical revenues and certain expenses of the Property, exclusive of interest income, depreciation and amortization, rental income relating to the allocation of purchase price of the Property to above/below market leases and management and advisory fees (collectively, the “Excluded Items”), which may not be comparable to the corresponding amounts reflected in the future operations of the Property.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Property’s operations consist of rental income earned from tenants under leasing arrangements which generally provide for minimum rents, escalations and charges to tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes and operating expenses. All leases have been accounted for as operating leases. Rental income is recognized by amortizing the aggregate lease payments on the straight-line basis over the entire terms of the leases. Percentage rents are recognized as a percentage of a tenant’s sales or once the tenant income thresholds, if any, have been exceeded.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Property’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Bad debts are recorded under the specific identification method, whereby uncollectible receivables are reserved for when identified.
 
Repairs and Maintenance
 
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

    354,255  
2014
    184,575  
Thereafter
    376,052  
    $ 4,662,582  
 
The tenant leases provide for annual rentals that include the tenants’ proportionate share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses. The tenant leases generally include tenant renewal options that can extend the lease terms.
 
Rental income on the Historical Summary includes the effect of amortizing the aggregate minimum lease payments on a straight-line basis over the entire terms of the leases, which amounted to an increase in rental income of $82,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
