INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
 
We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses of the property known as Santa Teresa Village Shopping Center, located in San Jose, California (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “financial statement”). The financial statement is the responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statement 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 statement 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
The accompanying financial statement 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 financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SANTA TERESA VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 (AUDITED) AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)


1.Business and Organization
 
Santa Teresa Village Shopping Center (the “Property”) is a shopping center located in San Jose, California.  The Property was owned by Santa Teresa Village LLC (“Seller”).  The Property, which is anchored by Nob Hill General Store, Inc., has an aggregate gross rentable area of approximately 124,000 square feet.  The anchor tenant occupies approximately 25,000 square feet.
 
On November 8, 2012, the Property was acquired by ROIC California, LLC (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (the “Company”).
 
2.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses (the “financial statement”) has 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 financial statement includes the historical revenues and certain expenses of the Property, exclusive of rental income related to parcels not acquired by the Company, 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, 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 and tenant reimbursements.  All leases are classified as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized by amortizing the aggregate lease payments on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease (including rent holidays). Tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs are recognized as rental income in the period that the expenses are incurred.
 
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
 
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while significant improvements, renovations and replacements are capitalized.
 
3.           Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January  2, 2013, and has determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
 
F-3

 
4.Leases
 
The Property is subject to non-cancelable lease agreements, subject to various escalation clauses, with tenants for retail space. As of December 31, 2011, the future minimum rentals on non-cancelable operating leases expiring in various years are as follows:
 
Year ending December 31
 
Amounts
 
       
2012
  $ 1,820,367  
2013
    1,698,753  
2014
    1,509,788  
2015
    1,088,547  
2016
    545,057  
Thereafter
    1,450,281  
    $ 8,112,793  

 
The tenant leases provide for annual rentals that include the tenants’ proportionate share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses. The Property’s tenant leases generally include tenant renewal options that can extend the lease terms.
 
Rental income on the financial statement 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 of approximately $58,400 and $8,000 in rental income for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
 
5.Concentrations
 
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Property’s two largest tenants accounted for approximately 12% and 11% of base rental revenues, respectively.

RETAIL OPPORTUNITY INVESTMENTS CORP.
PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 are presented as if Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (the “Company”) had completed the acquisition of the property known as Santa Teresa Village Shopping Center (the “Property”) on  January 1, 2011. Additionally, the pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 has been presented as if the acquisition had been completed on September 30, 2012.
 
The purchase price allocation is calculated based on a 20/80 allocation to Land and Building and Improvements, respectively.  As of the date of this report, the Company is in the process of evaluating the purchase price allocation in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 805.  The purchase price allocation is preliminary and could be subject to change.
 
The pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012. The pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent the Company’s financial position or results of operations that would actually have occurred assuming the completion of the acquisition of the Property had occurred on January 1, 2011; nor do they purport to project the Company’s results of operations as of any future date or for any future period.
