REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses and the related notes to the statement (the “Statement”) of Front Range Village for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 Statement is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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 Statement 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 Statement.
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 Statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses described in Note 1 of Front Range Village for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Note 1 to the Statement, which describes that the accompanying Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the filing of a Form 8-K of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust) and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Front Range Village's revenues and certain expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Front Range Village
Notes to the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014

1.  
Business and Basis of Presentation

On September 4, 2014 Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, Inc. (RGPT) through its majority-owned partnership subsidiary, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (RGPLP), acquired Front Range Village located in Fort Collins, Colorado. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our unsecured revolving line of credit.
 
Front Range Village was built in 2008 and encompasses approximately 810,000 square feet. Our ownership encompasses 460,000 square feet and includes Sports Authority, DSW, Staples, Cost Plus, Ulta and Toys / Babies R Us. Target, Lowes, the Southeast Branch of the Fort Collins Library (shadow anchors) and various outparcel buildings occupy the balance.

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statement”) has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.  The Statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14, and for inclusion in this Current Report on Form 8-K of RGPT.  The Statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Front Range Village.  Certain expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization, and other costs not directly related to the future operations of the property have been excluded.

Subsequent events

We have evaluated whether any subsequent events have occurred up through the time of issuing these statements on September 24, 2014.

2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Our shopping center space is generally leased to retail tenants under leases that are classified as operating leases. We recognize minimum rents using the straight-line method over the terms of the leases commencing when the tenant takes possession of the space and when construction of landlord funded improvements is substantially complete. Certain leases also provide for recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and other operating expenses. These recoveries are estimated and recognized as revenue in the period the recoverable costs are incurred or accrued.  

Expenses

Property operating expenses include real estate taxes, recoverable operating expenses such as common area maintenance, insurance, and other non-recoverable expenses such as bad debt expense and collection-related legal costs.  Real estate taxes and insurance expense are accrued monthly.  Expenditures for common area maintenance and legal costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Allowances for bad debt are taken for balances we believe will be uncollectible.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.






3.  
Future Minimum Rental Income

Front Range Village is leased to tenants pursuant to lease agreements.  Tenant leases typically provide for minimum rent and other charges to cover operating costs.  Future minimum rent under non-cancellable operating leases in effect at June 30, 2014 are as follows:
