NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
June 30, 2010
(unaudited)
 
1.
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Business
 
Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (the "Company"), formerly known as NRDC Acquisition Corp., was incorporated in Delaware on July 10, 2007 for the purpose of acquiring through a merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more assets or control of one or more operating businesses (the "Business Combination").  On August 7, 2009, the Company entered into the Framework Agreement (the "Framework Agreement") with NRDC Capital Management, LLC (the "Sponsor") which, among other things, sets forth the steps to be taken by the Company to continue the business as a corporation that will elect to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2010.  ; On October 20, 2009, the Company's stockholders and warrantholders approved each of the proposals presented at the special meetings of stockholders and warrantholders, respectively, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement (the "Framework Transactions"), including to provide that the consummation of substantially all of the Framework Transactions also constitutes a Business Combination under the Company's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the "certificate of incorporation").  Following the consummation of the Framework Transactions, the Company has been primarily focused on investing in, acquiring, owning, leasing, repositioning and managing a diverse portfolio of necessity-based retail properties, including, primarily, well located community and neighborhood shopping centers, anchored by national or regional supermarkets and drugstores.
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company owned eight properties containing a total of approximately 723,800 square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA").
 
The Company is organized in a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust ("UpREIT") format pursuant to which Retail Opportunity Investments GP, LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary, serves as the general partner of, and the Company conducts substantially all of its business through, its wholly-owned operating partnership subsidiary, Retail Opportunity Investments Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "operating partnership"), and its subsidiary.
 
Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates
 
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us.  Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method or as structured finance investments.  See Note 5 and Note 6.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
In June 2009, the FASB amended the guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and requires the performance of a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Under this guidance, an entity would be required to consolidate a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
- 5 -

 
A non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.  Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet and modifies the presentation of net income by requiring earnings and other comprehensive income to be attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.
 
We assess the accounting treatment for each joint venture and structured finance investment. This assessment includes a review of each joint venture or limited liability company agreement to determine which party has what rights and whether those rights are protective or participating. For all VIE’s we review such agreements in order to determine which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. In situations where we or our partner approves, among other things, the annual budget, receives a detailed monthly reporting package from us, meets on a quarterly basis to review the results of the joint venture, reviews and approves the joint venture’s tax return before filing, and approves all leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property, we do not consolidate the joint venture as we consider these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power of the activities that most significantly impact the performance of our joint venture. Our joint venture agreements also contain certain protective rights such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan.  We have no VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary.
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
Commencing with the Company's taxable year ending December 31, 2010, the Company intends to elect to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  Under those sections, a REIT that, among other things, distributes at least 90% of REIT taxable income and meets certain other qualifications prescribed by the Code will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income that is distributed.
 
The Company follows the FASB guidance that defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The FASB also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as interest expense.  As of June 30, 2010, the tax years 2007 through and including 2009 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.  There are currently no examinations in progress.
 
Real Estate Investments
 
All capitalizable costs related to the improvement or replacement of real estate properties are capitalized.  Additions, renovations and improvements that enhance and/or extend the useful life of a property are also capitalized.  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance, repairs and improvements that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.  The Company expenses transaction costs associated with business combinations in the period incurred.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the capitalized costs related to the improvements or replacement of real estate properties were $194,000 and $331,000, respectively.
 
Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the fair value of the real estate purchased is allocated to the acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and building improvements), and acquired intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above-market and below-market leases and acquired in-place leases).  Acquired lease intangible assets include above market leases and acquired in-place leases in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management's determination of the relative fair values of these assets.  In valuing an acquired property's intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand.  Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.  Leasing commissions, legal and other related costs ("lease origination") costs are classified as deferred charges in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
 
- 6 -

 
The value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates, over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant.  Above-market and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be received and management's estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of acquisition.  Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal period(s).  The fair values associated with below m arket rental renewal options are determined based on our experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions.  The value of the above-market and below-market leases associated with the original lease term is amortized to rental income, over the terms of the respective leases.  The value of below market rental lease renewal options is deferred until such time as the renewal option is exercised and subsequently amortized over the corresponding renewal period.  If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.  The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense, and the above-market and below-market lease values are amortized to rental income, over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.  If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amo unts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.  If, up to one year from the acquisition date, information regarding fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is received and estimates are refined, appropriate property adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation on a retrospective basis.
 
In conjunction with our pursuit and acquisition of real estate investments, we expensed acquisition transaction costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 of $516,500 and $1 million, respectively.  Nothing was incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Regarding the Company's 2010 property acquisitions (see Note 2), the fair values of in-place leases and other intangibles have been allocated to intangible assets and liability accounts.  Such allocations are preliminary and may be adjusted as final information becomes available.
 
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the fair value of the in-place leases for the properties Phillips Ranch Shopping Center and the Vancouver Market Center (see Note 2).  Consequently, no value has been assigned to the leases.  Accordingly, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and may be subject to change.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the net amortization of acquired lease intangible assets and acquired lease intangible liabilities was $114,000 and $167,000 respectively, which amounts are included in base rents in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the net amortization of acquired lease intangible assets and acquired lease intangible liabilities was $0.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to aggregate future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value.  Management does not believe that the value of any of its real estate investments is impaired at June 30, 2010.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and money market depository accounts with U.S financial institutions with original maturities of less than ninety days.  These balances in the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Management has determined that all of the Company's leases with its various tenants are operating leases.  Rental income is generally recognized based on the terms of leases entered into with tenants.  In those instances in

which the Company funds tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant.  When the Company determines that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin.  Minimum rental income from leases with scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Percentage rent is recognized when a specific tenant's sales breakpoint is achieved.  Property operating expense recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period the related expenses are incurred.  Lease incentives are amortized as a reduction of re ntal revenue over the respective tenant lease terms.
 
Termination fees (included in rental revenue) are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration date.  The Company recognizes termination fees in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, "Revenue Recognition," when the following conditions are met: (a) the termination agreement is executed; (b) the termination fee is determinable; (c) all landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and (d) collectivity of the termination fee is assured.  Interest income is recognized as it is earned.  Gains or losses on disposition of properties are recorded when the criteria for recognizing such gains or losses under generally acc epted accounting principles have been met.
 
The Company must make estimates as to the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues.  Management analyzes accounts receivable and the allowance for bad debts by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in tenants' payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.  The Company also provides an allowance for future credit losses of the deferred straight-line rents receivable.  The provision for doubtful accounts was $128,600 and $182,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  The provision for doubtful accounts was $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
The Company uses the straight-line method for depreciation and amortization.  Buildings are depreciated over the estimated useful lives which the Company estimates to be 35-40 years.  Property improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful lives that range from 10 to 20 years.  Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over the estimated useful lives that range from 3 to 10 years.  Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the related leases or their useful life.
 
Deferred Charges
 
Deferred charges consist principally of leasing commissions and acquired lease origination costs (which are amortized ratably over the life of the tenant leases).  Deferred charges in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are shown at cost, net of accumulated amortization of $143,000 and $0 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and tenant receivables.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured amounts with high quality financial institutions.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires tenants to provide security deposits.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") excludes the impact of dilutive shares and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then shared in the earnings of the Company.

As of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the effect of the 41,400,000 warrants issued in connection with the initial Public Offering (the "Public Offering"), the 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants purchased simultaneously by the Sponsor with the consummation of the Public Offering, and the restricted stock and options granted in 2009 were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS since the effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 5.
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans based on the FASB guidance which requires that compensation expense be recognized based on the fair value of the stock awards less estimated forfeitures.  It is the Company's policy to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of stock on the grant date.  Awards of stock options and restricted stock are expensed as compensation on a current basis over the benefit period.
 
Derivatives
 
The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.  Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges.  Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.&# 160; Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
 
Segment Reporting
 
The Company operates in one industry segment which involves, investing in, acquiring, owning, and managing commercial real estate in the United States.  Accordingly, the Company has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes.
 
Accounting Standards Updates
 
Effective January 1, 2010 the Company adopted the accounting guidance related to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements, which clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (minority interests or certain limited partners' interest, in the case of the Company), subject to the classification and measurement of redeemable securities, is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity which should be reported as equity in the parent company's consolidated statements.  The guidance requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to noncontrolling interests and disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, of those amounts of consolidated statement of operations attributable to the noncontrolling interests, eliminating the past p ractice of reporting these amounts as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated statement of operations.    The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
Effective January 1, 2010 the Company adopted the FASB guidance which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.  The guidance eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity," changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
 
- 9 -

 
Effective January 1, 2010 the Company adopted the FASB guidance which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated.  The guidance clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company's ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance.  The guidance requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  The guidance also requires additional disclosures about a company's involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposu re due to that involvement.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE, and requires the performance of a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated guidance requires an entity to consolidate a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted the updated guidance as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial st atements.

6.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company follows FASB guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The guidance applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.
 
The guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the 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 that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
 
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. 0; 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Currently, the Company uses one interest rate swap to manage its interest rate risk.   The valuation of this instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative.  This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, and implied volatilities.  The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). & #160;The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
 
To comply with the guidance the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contract for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
 
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative 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 June 30, 2010 the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative.  As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as discussed in Note 2.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, deposits, income tax receivable, prepaid expenses, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  Notes receivable is based on actual payments made on the note and includes accrued interest.  Mortgage notes receivable are based on the actual disbursements incurred for these recent acquisitions.

Derivative and Hedging Activities
 
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
 
In June 2010, the Company entered into a $25 million forward starting interest rate swap with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.  The forward starting swap is being used to hedge the anticipated variable cash flows associated with the Company’s variable-rate debt that is planned to be issued between October 15, 2010 and December 31, 2011.  The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is  designated as a cash flow hedge is being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  Ineffectiveness, if any, related to the Company’s changes in estimates about the debt issuance related to the forward starting swap would be recogn ized directly in earnings.  During the period ended June 30, 2010, the Company realized no ineffectiveness as a result of the hedging relationship.
 
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest expense is recognized on the hedged debt.  During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $194,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties.  In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that ultimately may result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Overview
 
Retail Opportunity Investments Corp., formerly known as NRDC Acquisition Corp., was formed on July 10, 2007 as a special purpose acquisition corporation for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, stock purchase, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination, one or more assets or control of one or more operating businesses.  Through October 19, 2009, our efforts had been limited to organizational activities and activities relating to our initial public offering; we had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues.  On October 20, 2009, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement with NRDC Capital Management, LLC, which, among other things sets forth the steps taken by us to continue our business as a corporation that wi ll elect to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010 (collectively, the "Framework Transactions").
 
Following the consummation of the Framework Transactions, our business has been primarily focused on investing in, acquiring, owning, leasing, repositioning and managing a diverse portfolio of necessity-based retail properties, including, primarily, well located community and neighborhood shopping centers, anchored by national or regional supermarkets and drugstores.  Although not our primary focus, we may also acquire other retail

 
- 18 -

 
properties, including power centers, regional malls, lifestyle centers and single-tenant retail locations, that are leased to national, regional and local tenants.  We target properties strategically situated in densely populated, middle and upper income markets in the eastern and western regions of the United States.  In addition, we may supplement our direct purchases of retail properties with first mortgages or second mortgages, mezzanine loans, bridge or other loans and debt investments related to retail properties, which we refer to collectively as "real estate-related debt investments," in each case provided that the underlying real estate meets our criteria for direct investments.  Our primary focus with respect to real estate-related debt investments is to capitalize on the opportunity to acqu ire controlling positions that will enable us to obtain the asset should a default occur.  We refer to the properties and investments we target as our target assets.  We are organized in a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust ("UpREIT") format pursuant to which Retail Opportunity Investments GP, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, serves as the general partner of, and we conduct substantially all of our business through, our operating partnership subsidiary, Retail Opportunity Investments Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (our "operating partnership"), and its subsidiaries.
 
Since the consummation of the Framework Transactions, we have been actively seeking to invest the amounts released to us from the trust account established in connection with our initial public offering (the "Trust Account") in our target assets.  As of June 30, 2010, our portfolio consisted of eight shopping centers in California and Washington and two mortgage notes receivable.   At June 30, 2010, our portfolio contained approximately 724,000 net rentable square feet and the properties in our portfolio were approximately 90.1 % leased.

Factors Impacting Our Operating Results
 
The results of our operations are affected by a number of factors and primarily depend on, among other things, the following:
 
 
·
Our ability to identify and acquire retail real estate and real estate-related debt investments that meet our investment standards and the time period required for us to acquire our initial portfolio of our target assets;
 
 
·
The level of rental revenue and net interest income we achieve from our target assets;
 
 
·
The market value of our assets and the supply of, and demand for, retail real estate and real estate-related debt investments in which we invest;
 
 
·
The length of the current economic downturn;
 
 
·
The conditions in the local markets in which we will operate, as well as changes in national economic and market conditions;
 
 
·
Consumer spending and confidence trends;
 
 
·
Our ability to enter into new leases or to renew leases with existing tenants at the properties we acquire at favorable rates;
 
 
·
Our ability to anticipate changes in consumer buying practices and the space needs of tenants;
 
 
·
The competitive landscape impacting the properties we acquire and their tenants;
 
 
·
Our relationships with our tenants and their financial condition;
 
 
·
Our use of debt as part of our financing strategy and our ability to make payments or to comply with any covenants under any borrowings or other debt facilities we obtain;

The level of our operating expenses, including amounts we are required to pay to our management team and to engage third party property managers and loan servicers; and
 
 
·
Changes in interest rates that could impact the market price of our common stock and the cost of our borrowings.
 
Report on Operating Results
 
Funds from operations ("FFO"), is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REIT's that we believe when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, provides additional and useful means to assess our financial performance.  FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the performance of REITs, most of which present FFO along with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
We compute FFO in accordance with the "White Paper" on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which defines FFO as net income attributable to common shareholders

 
- 20 -

 
(determined in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and unconsolidated joint ventures.
 
In accordance with FASB guidance relating to business combinations, which, among other things, requires any acquirer of a business (investment property) to expense all acquisition costs related to the acquisition, the amount of which will vary based on each specific acquisition and the volume of acquisitions.  Accordingly, in fiscal year 2010 the costs of completed acquisitions will reduce our FFO.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we expensed $517,000 and $1 million, respectively, relating to real estate acquisitions.
 
We consider FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of its real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure.
 
However, FFO:
 
 
·
does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income); and
 
 
·
should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance.
 
FFO as defined by us may not be comparable to similarly titled items reported by other real estate investment trusts due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.  The table below provides a reconciliation of net income applicable to stockholders in accordance with GAAP to FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  FFO for the three and six months ended June 31, 2009 is not provided, since no real estate assets were owned by us during this period.

Results of Operations
 
Our entire activity prior to the consummation of the Framework Transactions was limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering and, after the initial public offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets.  During that period, we neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues, other than interest income earned on the proceeds of the initial public offering.  Prior to the consummation of the Framework Transactions, the majority of our operating income is derived from interest earned from the Trust Account previously held.
 
We had eight properties in our portfolio at June 30, 2010.  We believe, because of the location of the properties in densely populated areas, the nature of our investment provides for relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.  We have a strong capital structure with no debt as of the quarter just ended.  We expect to continue to explore acquisition opportunities that might present themselves during this economic downturn consistent with our business strategy.

Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $2.7 million compared to a net loss of $959,000 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The substantial cause of the differences during the six month periods was due to the consummation of the Framework Transactions on October 20, 2009, which commenced our business plan of acquiring and managing retail properties.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we generated net operating income of $1.8 million from the eight properties in our portfolio at June 30, 2010.  General and administrative expenses increased to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 mostly due to higher payroll costs incurred si nce key personnel were hired following the consummation of the Framework Transactions.  We incurred acquisition transaction costs during the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $1 million associated with our pursuit and acquisition of real estate properties.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we deferred a portion of interest income earned on investments resulting in higher income recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Interest income was deferred in 2009 awaiting the consummation of our business plan.
 
Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009
 
During the three months ended June 30 2010, we incurred a net loss of $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $739,000 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The substantial cause of the differences during the three month periods was due to the consummation of the Framework Transactions on October 20, 2009, which commenced our business plan of acquiring and managing retail properties.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we generated net operating income of $1.2 million from the eight properties in our portfolio at June 30, 2010.  General and administrative expenses increased to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 mostly due to higher payroll costs incurred since key personnel were hired following the consummation of the Framework Transactions.  We incurred acquisition transaction costs during the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $517,000 associated with our pursuit and acquisition of real estate investments.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we deferred a portion of interest income earned on investments resulting in higher income recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Interest income was deferred in 2009 awaiting the consummation of our business plan.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, complex or subjective judgments.  Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies included in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We record base rents on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease.  The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is included in tenant and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets.  Most leases contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse a pro-rata share of real estate taxes and certain common area expenses.  Adjustments are also made throughout the year to tenant and other receivables and the related cost recovery income based upon our best estimate of the final amounts to be billed and collected.  In addition, we also provide an allowance for future credit losses of the deferred straight-line rent receivable.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on a quarterly analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts.  The analysis places particular emphasis on past-due accounts and considers information such as the nature and age of the receivables, the payment history of the tenants or other debtors, the financial condition of the tenants and any guarantors and management's assessment of their ability to meet their lease obligations, the basis

 
- 22 -

 
for any disputes and the status of related negotiations, among other things.  Management's estimates of the required allowance is subject to revision as these factors change and is sensitive to the effects of economic and market conditions on tenants, particularly those at retail properties.  Estimates are used to establish reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate tax and insurance costs.  We analyze the balance of our estimated accounts receivable for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance for each of our properties by comparing actual recoveries versus actual expenses and any actual write-offs.  Based on our analysis, we may record an additional amount in our allowance for doubtful accounts related to these items.  In addition, we als o provide an allowance for future credit losses of the deferred straight-line rent receivable.
 
Real Estate
 
Land, buildings, property improvements, furniture/fixtures and tenant improvements are recorded at cost.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Renovations and/or replacements, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
 
The amounts to be capitalized as a result of an acquisition and the periods over which the assets are depreciated or amortized are determined based on estimates as to fair value and the allocation of various costs to the individual assets.  We allocate the cost of an acquisition based upon the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired.  We also estimate the fair value of intangibles related to our acquisitions.  The valuation of the fair value of intangibles involves estimates related to market conditions, probability of lease renewals and the current market value of in-place leases.  This market value is determined by considering factors such as the tenant's industry, location within the property and competition in the specific region in which the property operates.  Differences in the amount attributed to the intangible assets can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.
 
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful life of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation.  These assessments have a direct impact on our net income.
 
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Buildings
35-40 years
Property Improvements
10-20 years
Furniture/Fixtures
3-10 years
Tenant Improvements
Shorter of lease term or their useful life

Asset Impairment
 
On a continuous basis, management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  A property value is considered impaired when management's estimate of current and projected operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) of the property over its remaining useful life is less than the net carrying value of the property.  Such cash flow projections consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the net carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the asset.  Changes in estimated future cash flows d ue to changes in our plans or market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses which could be substantial.  Management does not believe that the value of our rental property is impaired at June 30, 2010.
 
REIT Qualification Requirements
 
We intend to elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010.  We believe that we have been organized and we intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010.

 
- 23 -

 
The law firm of Clifford Chance US LLP has acted as our counsel in connection with  our registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on April 29, 2010 and in connection therewith, we received an opinion of Clifford Chance US LLP to the effect that, commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010, we will be organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and our proposed method of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.  The opinion of Clifford Chance US LLP was based on various assumptions relating to our organization and operation, including that all factual representations and statements set forth in all relevant documents, records and instruments are true and correct, and that we will at all times operate in accordance with the method of operation described in our organizational documents.  Additionally, the opinion of Clifford Chance US LLP was conditioned upon factual representations and covenants made by our management and affiliated entities regarding our organization, assets, and present and future conduct of our business operations and other items regarding our ability to meet the various requirements for qualification as a REIT, and assumed that such representations and covenants are accurate and complete and that we will take no action that could adversely affect our qualification as a REIT. While we believe that we are  organized and intend to operate so that we will qualify as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances or applicable law, no assurance can be given by Clifford Chance US LLP or us that we will so qualify for any particular year.  Clifford Chance US LLP will have no obligation to advise us or the holders of our stock of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed, or of any subsequent change in the applicable law.  You should be aware that opinions of counsel are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), or any court, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions set forth in such opinions. Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, distribution levels, and diversity of stock ownership, various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code, the compliance with which will not be reviewed by Clifford Chance US LLP.  In addition, our ability to qualify as a REIT may depend in part upon the operating results, organizational structure and entity classificati on for U.S. federal income tax purposes of certain entities in which we invest.  Our ability to qualify as a REIT for a particular year also requires that we satisfy certain asset and income tests during such year, some of which depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by us.  Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any taxable year will satisfy such requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our stockholders and meet other general business needs.  Currently our primary sources of cash generally consist of the funds released to us from the Trust Account upon consummation of the Framework Transactions that occurred during year ended December 31, 2009, cash generated from our operating results and interest we receive on our cash investments.  We will use our current cash to purchase our target assets make distributions to our stockholders and fund our operations.  We expect to fund long-term liquidity requirements for property acquisitions, development, and capital improvements through a combination o f issuing and/or assuming mortgage debt and the sale of equity securities.  As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $272.3 million , compared to $383.2 million at December 31, 2009.
 
While we generally intend to hold our target assets as long term investments, certain of our investments may be sold in order to manage our interest rate risk and liquidity needs, meet other operating objectives and adapt to market conditions.  The timing and impact of future sales of our investments, if any, cannot be predicted with any certainty.
 
Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from the sale of real estate or real estate-related debt investments, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders and undistributed funds from operations.  In addition, we anticipate raising additional capital from future equity financings and if the value of our common stock exceeds the exercise price of our warrants through the sale of common stock to the holders of our warrants from time to time.

Net Cash Flows from:
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $3.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.2 million in the comparable period in 2009.  The net decrease in operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the corresponding prior period was due primarily to (a) the payment of accrued expenses in 2010 of approximately $2.4 million (b) an increase in net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $1.8 million due to higher general and administrative expenses incurred following the approval of the Framework Transactions.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash flows used by investing activities amounted to $104.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.3 million in the comparable period in 2009 due to the acquisition of seven properties, acquisition of two mortgage notes receivable and deposits placed on several potential acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash flows used by financing activities amounted to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0 in the comparable period in 2009.  The net decrease in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was due primarily to the payment of dividends to common stockholders of $2.5 million in May 2010.  No dividends were paid during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
As of June 30, 2010, we did not have any long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long term liabilities.  Upon consummation of the Framework Transactions, we entered into a Transitional Shared Facilities and Services Agreement with NRDC Real Estate Advisors, LLC, pursuant to which NRDC Real Estate Advisors, LLC provides us with access to, among other things, their information technology, office space, personnel and other resources necessary to enable us to perform our business, including access to NRDC Real Estate Advisors, LLC's real estate teams, who will work with us to source, structure, execute and manage properties for a transitional period.  We pay NRDC Real Estate Advisors, LLC a monthly fee of $7,500 pursuant to the Transitional Shared Facil ities and Services Agreement.  The Transitional Shared Facilities and Services Agreement has an initial one-year term, which will be renewable by us for an additional one-year term.
 
In May 2010, the Company entered into a Shared Facilities and Service Agreement effective January 1, 2010 with an officer of the Company.  Pursuant to the Shared Facilities and Service Agreement the Company is provided the use of office space and other resources for a monthly fee of $1,938.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has incurred $11,600 of expenses relating to this agreement which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not incur expenses relating to this agreement.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have issued warrants in conjunction with our initial public offering and private placement, and have also granted incentive stock options.  These options and warrants may be deemed to be equity linked derivatives and, accordingly, represent off balance sheet arrangements.  See Note 4 and 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  We account for these warrants as stockholders' equity and not as derivatives.
 
Real Estate Taxes
 
Our leases generally require the tenants to be responsible for a pro rata portion of the real estate taxes.

 
- 25 -

 
Inflation
 
Our leases at wholly-owned and consolidated partnership properties generally provide for either indexed escalators, based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures or, to a lesser extent, fixed increases in base rents.  The leases also contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse us for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes.  The revenues collected from leases are generally structured as described above, with year over year increases.  We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the contractual rent increases and tenant expense reimbursements described above.
 
Leverage Policies
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had not incurred any financing in connection with our operations or the acquisition of our properties.  We purchased our properties for cash.  In the future, we intend, when appropriate, to employ prudent amounts of leverage and use debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of our target assets and the diversification of our portfolio.  We intend to use traditional forms of financing, including mortgage financing and credit facilities.  In addition, in connection with the acquisition of properties, we may assume all or a portion of the existing debt on such properties.  In addition, we may acquire retail property indirectly through joint ventures with institutional investors as a means of increasing the funds available for the acquis ition of properties.
 
We may borrow on a non-recourse basis or at the corporate level or operating partnership level.  Non-recourse indebtedness means the indebtedness of the borrower or its subsidiaries is secured only by specific assets without recourse to other assets of the borrower or any of its subsidiaries.  Even with non-recourse indebtedness, however, a borrower or its subsidiaries will likely be required to guarantee against certain breaches of representations and warranties such as those relating to the absence of fraud, misappropriation, misapplication of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations.  Because non-recourse financing generally restricts the lender's claim on the assets of the borrower, the lender generally may only proceed against the asset securing the debt.  This protec ts our other assets.
 
We plan to evaluate each investment opportunity and determine the appropriate leverage on a case-by-case basis and also on a Company-wide basis.  We may seek to refinance indebtedness, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it beneficial to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase the investment.  In the future, we may also seek to raise further equity capital or issue debt securities in order to fund our future investments.
 
Dividends
 
We intend to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our common stock.  U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income.  We intend to pay regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders in an amount not less than our net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors.  If our cash available for distribution is less than our net taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions or we may make a portion of the required dist ribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had no debt outstanding.  Currently, the Company uses one forward starting interest rate swap to manage its interest rate risk. See the discussion under Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for certain quantitative details related to the interest rate swap.

 
- 26 -

 
The Company entered into the forward starting interest rate swap in order to economically hedge against the risk of rising interest rates that would affect the Company’s interest expense related to it’s future anticipated debt issuance. The sensitivity analysis table presented below shows the estimated instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve up and down by 50 and 100 basis points, respectively, on the market value of our interest rate derivative as of June 30, 2010.

See Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion on how the Company values derivative financial instruments.  The Company calculates the value of its interest rate swaps based upon the amount of the expected future cash flows paid and received on each leg of the swap. The cash flows on the fixed leg of the swap are agreed to at inception and the cash flows on the floating leg of a swap change over time as interest rates change. To estimate the floating cash flows at each valuation date, the Company utilizes a forward curve which is constructed using LIBOR fixings, Eurodollar futures, and swap rates, which are observable in the market. Both the fixed and floating legs’ cash flows are discounted at market discount factors. For purposes of adjusting our derivative values, we incorporat e the nonperformance risk for both the Company and our counterparties to these contracts based upon either credit default swap spreads (if available) or Moody’s KMV ratings in order to derive a curve that considers the term structure of credit.
 
As a corporation that will elect to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2010, our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates.  Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.  We will be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make real estate-related debt investments.  Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs.  To achieve these objectives, we expect to borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates wit h the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates.  In addition, we use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.  We will not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and will only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.  Currently, the Company uses one interest rate swap to manage its interest rate risk.  See Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are not involved in any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation pending or threatened against us, other than routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business or which is expected to be covered by insurance and not expected to harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  There have been no significant changes to our risk factors during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
 
ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We did not sell any equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2010 that were not registered under the Securities Act.
 
On October 23, 2007, we consummated a private placement of 8,000,000 warrants with NRDC Capital Management, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by certain of our executive officers and directors, and our initial public offering of 41,400,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant exercisable for an additional share of common stock, including 5,400,000 units pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option.  We received net proceeds of approximately $384.0 million and also received $8.0 million of proceeds from the private placement sale of 8,000,000 insider warrants to NRDC Capital Management, LLC.  Banc of America Securities, LLC served as the sole bookrunning manager for our initial public offering.  The securities sold in the initial public offering were r egistered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-144871).  The SEC declared the registration statement effective on October 17, 2007.
 
Upon the closing of the initial public offering and private placement, $406.5 million including $14.5 million of the underwriters' discounts and commissions was held in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of our initial "business combination" and (ii) our liquidation.  On October 20, 2009, we consummated the Framework Transactions, which constituted our initial business combination.  Stockholders representing an aggregate of 5,325 shares of common stock that we issued in our initial public offering elected to exercise conversion rights, while holders representing an aggregate of 41,394,675 shares we issued in our initial public offering did not exercise conversion rights, resulting in such shares remaining outstanding upon completion of the Framework Transactions.  As a result, we had approximately $405 million released to us (after payment of deferred underwriting fees) from the Trust Account established in connection with our initial public offering to invest in our target assets and to pay expenses arising out of the Framework Transactions.
 
As of June 30, 2010, we have applied approximately $5.6 million of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement toward consummating a "business combination," including the Framework Transactions and paid approximately $119.4 million to acquire real estate properties and mortgage notes receivables.  For more information see Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
No portion of the proceeds of the initial public offering was paid to directors, officers or holders of 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or their affiliates.

3. Earnest Money.  Within three (3) business days after mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”), Buyer shall pay TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) as earnest money (the “Earnest Money”) in cash. The Earnest Money shall be deposited with Old Republic Title and Escrow (the “Title Company”), 2201 Sixth Street, Suite 1110, Seattle, Washington 98121, Attention:  Ms. Marty Young, and shall be deposited into an interest-bearing escrow account with the Title Company in
 
 
1 - Purchase and Sale Agreement

 
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon Buyer’s waiver of its conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 through 6.3 below, Title Company shall immediately release $15,000 of the Earnest Money to Seller, which amount shall be non-refundable to Buyer under all circumstances except for the failure of this transaction to close as a result of a default by Seller, and Buyer shall deposit an additional TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) in escrow as additional Earnest Money.  All Earnest Money shall be applied to the payment of the Purchase Price at closing.  Any interest earned on the Earnest Money shall be part of the Earnest Money.  Except as provided above, all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer in the event any condition to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property shall fail to be timely satisfied or waived by Buyer or in the event this transaction fails to close as a result of a casualty, condemnation, or default by Seller.
 
4. Survey and Environmental Assessments.  During the Contingency Period (as defined in Section 6), Buyer may, at its sole discretion and expense: (a) commission a surveyor of Buyer’s choice to prepare an ALTA survey of the Property; and (b) engage an environmental consultant of Buyer’s choice to prepare a Phase I environmental site assessment of the Property and, if recommended by such consultant, obtain a Phase II environmental site assessment and perform any recommended testing.  Seller shall cooperate with Buyer’s obtaining such survey and environmental site assessments.  Buyer shall deliver a copy of any written report of such site assessment to Seller, and shall not, without Seller’s prior written consent, furnish a copy thereof to any person or entity other than Buyer’s employees or advisors who need access to the report in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
 
5. Title Documents.  On or before the fifth (5th) day following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a preliminary commitment for title insurance issued by Title Company (the “Preliminary Commitment”), along with all documents, whether recorded or unrecorded, referred to in the Preliminary Commitment (“Title Documents”).  Buyer shall have until five (5) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Preliminary Commitment and the Title Documents to give Seller written notice of Buyer’s disapproval of any condition or exce ption to title affecting the Property (“Buyer’s Title Notice”).  If Buyer fails to give Seller a Buyer’s Title Notice within such five (5) day period, then the title to the Property as set forth in the Preliminary Commitments shall be deemed approved by Buyer for all purposes under this Agreement.  If Buyer gives Seller a Buyer’s Title Notice, then, within five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller shall give Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those disapproved title conditions and exceptions stated in Buyer’s Title Notice, if any, that Seller elects to eliminate from the title policy and as exceptions to title, or otherwise to correct.  Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Title Notice within such five (5)-day period shall be deemed Seller’s election not to eliminate from the title policy the title conditions and exceptions noted in Buyer’s Title No tice.  If Buyer does not approve of Seller’s Title Notice Buyer shall so notify Seller in writing within three (3) days of receipt of Seller’s Title Notice, and if Buyer fails to give Seller such written notice within such three (3) day period, then Seller’s Title Notice shall be deemed approved by Buyer for all purposes under this Agreement.  If Buyer approves of Seller’s Title Notice, Seller shall eliminate from the title policy, by the Closing Date, those disapproved title conditions and exceptions that Seller has elected to eliminate in Seller’s Title Notice, and any failure to eliminate such exceptions or cure such objections shall constitute a default by Seller giving rise to the rights established pursuant to Section 16 below.  If Buyer does not approve of Seller’s Title Notice, this Agreement shall terminate as provided in Section 7.  All title

exceptions not objected to by Buyer and all title exceptions Seller elects not to eliminate in Seller’s Title Notice shall be “Permitted Exceptions.”
 
6. Buyer’s Closing Conditions.  The conditions set forth in this Section are solely for the benefit of Buyer and may be waived only by Buyer and, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, only if such waiver is set forth in a writing signed by Buyer.  Closing and Buyer’s obligations with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 through 6.3 not later than twenty-one (21) days after the mutual execution of this Agreement and Buyer’s receipt of all Seller’s Documents (defined below) (the “Contingency Period ”).  Closing and Buyer’s obligations with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.4 to 6.9 on or before the Closing Date.

6.2 Inspections.  During the Contingency Period, Buyer shall have approved the condition of the Property in Buyer’s sole discretion.  Seller shall permit Buyer and its agents, at Buyer’s sole expense and risk, to enter the Property, at reasonable times after reasonable prior notice to Seller and after prior notice to tenants of the Property as required by the Leases, if any, to conduct inspections, investigations, tests, and studies concerning the Property.  Buyer, at its expense, may also undertake the following activities with respect to the Property:  (i) third-party review of any environmental, geo technical and other reports provided by Seller; (ii) preparation of design, planning or density studies; (iii) engineering reviews, including review of building structure and mechanical systems; (iv) preparation of an independent market survey, geotechnical and other reports; (v) review of historic preservation issues; (vi) review of local government files and documents, as well as applications and correspondence between and on behalf of Seller and any local government; and (vii) other matters pertaining to the title, physical condition or any other aspect of the Property.  Buyer shall also have the right to discuss this Agreement and the Property with third parties, including lenders, contractors and government officials and representatives.  As a condition of such right of entry, Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller with respect to any lien filed by any agent or contractor of Buyer against the Property or any damage to person, p roperty or the Property arising out of or related to work performed by such agent or contractor on Buyer’s behalf.
