In 2013, Downtown Cincinnati is moving forward with a momentum like never before. We have proven ourselves on the world stage after successfully hosting tens of thousands of visitors during the 2012 World Choir Games, which has been praised as the most organized and supported event in the competition’s history. Downtown continues to attract countless conferences, events, and businesses to our city, and our selection as host for the 2015 MLB All-Star Game is another testament to the success of our efforts. The strategic planning and steadfast dedication committed to rebuilding our Downtown is leaving lasting impressions. Combine this with the ever-increasing vibrancy of our Downtown neighborhood and Central Business District, and it is obvious that more and more people will get to experience what we have always known—Cincinnati is the place to be. The City of Cincinnati, DCI, and other civic groups keep this momentum going, and I am confident that 2013 will be another great year for Downtown Cincinnati. Mayor Mark Mallory Honorary Board Chair
Downtown continues to see growth in its residential community, with more than 13,400 now calling the Central Business District (CBD) and Over-the-Rhine home.

Downtown is a destination for dining and nightlife. Throughout 2012, 45 restaurants and bars opened, from Moerlein Lager House, CRAVE, Mahogany’s, and Ruth’s Chris Steak House at The Banks to Igby’s, Local’s Bar & Grill, and Panera Bread in the CBD. The opening of 21C Museum Hotel and its restaurant, Metropole, made Cincinnati the second city in the nation, outside of its home city of Louisville, to boast this award-winning brand. Downtown was home base for 362 choirs from 64 countries during the 2012 World Choir Games, which received more than one billion media impressions globally.
s letter to stakeholder Dear Friends, If you look at the marketing materials for most downtown organizations, they feature words like LIVE-WORK-SHOP-PLAYVISIT. In the case of downtown Cincinnati in 2012, there was great progress made in ALL of these areas, progress that can be “multiplied” by the word MORE and “powered” by enthusiastic supporters who create a vibrant and successful downtown Cincinnati. ALL x MORE special people = Downtown Cincinnati Consider the following: LIVE – 88 new residential units at the Reserve at 4th & Race, a waiting list for rentals at Current at The Banks, and a virtual sell-out in the Gateway Quarter. An overall 96% residential occupancy rate, with more development on the horizon, including the conversion of the 580 Building to mixed use. WORK – Kao USA Inc., USB Ascent Group, Jedson Engineering, and Cadre Computer opened for business in 2012; renewed commitments from Thompson Hine, Insight Global, and Ekvall International, Ltd. SHOP/DINE – A newly renovated Tiffany & Co. with a renewed commitment to downtown. More than 30 new restaurants, including Fusian, Mahogany’s at The Banks, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and Panera Bread. PLAY – Great new bars and restaurants such as Moerlein Lager House, Igby’s, Bakersfield, CRAVE, Local’s Bar & Grill, and Tin Roof. Beautiful green space at Smale Riverfront Park and Washington Park. VISIT – The phenomenal 2012 World Choir Games brought international guests and attention to Cincinnati. The new 21C Museum Hotel opened, renovations at The Cincinnatian, Hilton Netherland Plaza and Hyatt, and more hotels in development. Downtown is the center of energy, development, and jobs for our region. From construction at dunnhumbyUSA Centre to the impressive Horseshoe Casino, to extensive development at The Banks and in Over-the-Rhine, to the renovation of iconic buildings such as the 580 Building, the Bartlett Building, 617 Vine, the Federal Reserve, and many more, downtown is indeed experiencing growth in ALL segments, and MORE of it.
We are pleased that Downtown Cincinnati Inc. (DCI) plays a key, fundamental role in ensuring a safe, clean, and welcoming environment without which all of this development could not occur. As you will see in this Annual Report, not only are the “hard” measures good, but the perceptions are significantly improved among all segments of our community. As his term draws to a close, we want to thank Mayor Mark Mallory for his vision, leadership and support during his eight years as mayor. He has been a steadfast supporter and advocate for downtown and has presided over an era of great progress and numerous ribbon-cuttings. We are especially pleased and honored to have Mayor Mallory as the keynote speaker at this year’s Annual Meeting. We also thank Cincinnati City Council, Hamilton County Commissioners, and City and County staff for their hard work and outstanding partnership. Thank you to 3CDC for its ongoing contributions to the development of our city center. A special thanks also to Dan Lincoln and his team at the Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau for their amazing leadership of the 2012 World Choir Games. Additionally, we are grateful to the Downtown Cincinnati Improvement District and the DCI board and members, who provide leadership, guidance and support for our center city. Finally, and most importantly, we thank the DCI staff and the DCI Ambassadors for their professionalism, spirit, tireless work, and passion for our mission. All of these partners make downtown Cincinnati a unique and special location where
All good things must come to an end and as of the 2013 DCI Annual Meeting, Jill Meyer will be stepping down as board chair. Jill has served as board chair for three years and has guided DCI, and downtown, through a remarkable period of growth. She has helped build partnerships and collaborations and has led with an amazing combination of energy and grace. In a rare example of commitment, Jill and I have met almost every Tuesday morning to discuss the week ahead and issues at DCI. Jill is one of the most positive, affirmative people with whom I have ever worked. She brings wisdom and perspective to every issue and has been a central figure in the success of downtown, and DCI over the past three years. We look forward to working with Jill in her new role as Immediate Past Chair. I know all of the board, staff, and membership of DCI join me in thanking Jill for her outstanding service and wish her well in every aspect of her future. David Ginsburg

2. Strategy: Enhance appearance of streets, sidewalks and public spaces. Downtown Cincinnati’s Central Business District consistently received a perfect score of 1 on the monthly litter index report from Keep Cincinnati Beautiful. The streets maintained by DCI in Over-the-Rhine also received excellent marks, beginning with a 1.1 in January and ending 2012 at a 1. In advance of the 2012 World Choir Games, DCI ambassadors worked with the City of Cincinnati and Keep Cincinnati Beautiful to paint 128 light poles in the downtown area.
3. Strategy: Encourage pride in location and space. DCI worked with local arts organizations and property owners and managers to coordinate the installation of artwork in vacant windows and storefronts throughout downtown in preparation for the 2012 World Choir Games. DCI maintains 70 large sidewalk planters throughout the district, and changes the flowers seasonally.

DCI coordinated media outreach throughout the year. Since February, DCI has been featured on 55KRC’s Brian Thomas show discussing “What’s happening in downtown Cincinnati” every Friday morning. The five-to-seven-minute interview features upcoming events, promotions, and fun tips about the CBD and OTR. The 2012 Annual Meeting received positive media coverage by WCPO, WLWT, Enquirer, Business Courier, Building Cincinnati blog and WLW. The State of Downtown release in May was covered by WLW, WNKU, WCPO, Fox19 and Local 12; and in articles in City Beat, Business Courier, Enquirer and UrbanCincy. The inaugural Live It Up Downtown event was featured on WLWT and in the Enquirer. Over the holidays, DCI partnered with more than 20 downtown stakeholders including the Reds and Nicholson’s, the Taft Museum of Art, and 3CDC for 43 live broadcast interviews on radio and TV, totaling almost 12 hours of coverage.

DCI developed a year-long campaign focused around the theme “Life Happens Here.” This creative concept included an itinerary of establishments to visit for Mother’s Day, Graduation, Father’s Day, and other celebrations. For Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day, DCI used digital outdoor billboards to promote giveaways on Facebook and promote stakeholders. Among the businesses featured during these promotions were Cincinnati Ballet, Nicholson’s, Nada, Jeff Ruby, Walnut St. Grill, Trattoria Roma, Cappel’s, Washington Platform, The Blue Wisp, and What If Gifts.
2. Strategy: Increase downtown usage through basic marketing programs. DCI hosted Summer and Holiday Retailer meetings, with representatives from the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Regional Tourism Network, Police, DCI, and 3CDC presenting information on seasonal programs and events to almost 100 stakeholders. 2012 World Choir Games efforts included two meetings with retailers, promoting the “Go.Show.Save” discount program, launching a retail window display program, and volunteering as press attendants. This year, four Macy’s Downtown Dazzles were held, kicking off the holiday season over Thanksgiving weekend. More than 500,000 people enjoyed Downtown shopping, dining, and entertainment along with the Dazzle events which included rappelling Santa, carriage rides, trolleys, and photos with Santa inside Macy’s Fountain Place. The third annual online holiday catalog was published, featuring 20 retailers in the CBD and OTR including Appointments, Bromwell’s, Cappel’s, Hunt Club Clothiers, Macy’s, Mike and Carol Trotta, and Saks Fifth Avenue. The catalog received 5,455 views.
Holidays Downtown For the sixth year in a row, Macy’s sold out of the Rookwood commemorative tile, which featured the Taft Museum of Art. The tile drove many first-time customers to Macy’s Fountain Place. Volunteers from SPCA provided free gift wrapping inside Carew Tower during the holiday season. Five animals were adopted and more than $600 was raised via donations. Local choirs The Unlimited, Young Professional Chorale Collective, and Cincinnati Men’s Chorus all performed at Macy’s Downtown Dazzle. Special guests included Cincinnati Pops Conductor John Morris Russell and American Idol contestant Eben Francewitz.
3. Strategy: Further increase downtown usage through enhanced marketing programs. In an effort to increase the diversity of the respondents to the 2012 Annual Perceptions Survey, the survey was launched in August at the Midwest Black Family Reunion. The survey was once again administered by La Verdad Marketing. This year 32% of the survey respondents were minorities compared to 36% in 2011 and 15.8% in 2010. In May 3CDC partnered with DCI, adding Gateway Quarter and OTR merchants to the Downtown Gift Card program. Gift card sales for the year totaled $113,065, up 21% from 2011.

Stakeholder Services Program Objective: Support and advocate for business and residential growth in downtown Cincinnati.
1. Strategy: Provide business support for current and potential downtown businesses. Throughout 2012, DCI created presentations outlining the economic impact of DCI and its benefits to stakeholders. These were shown to Eagle Realty, Salvation Army, Human Rights Campaign, NeighborWorks, Association for Legal Administrators, International Special Events Society, Hamilton County Commissioners, Cincinnati Bar Association – Young Lawyers Section, and the Third Annual Transforming & Revitalizing Downtown Summit, held in Toronto. During 2012, 10 companies moved to downtown, including KAO Brands, a global manufacturer of premium beauty care brands; Cadre Computer; and USB Ascent Group. DCI, in conjunction with Councilman Wendell Young, convened meetings of the Taxi Advisory Task Force. The group was comprised of cab drivers, cab company owners, city representatives and city stakeholders. For the first time, during the 2012 World Choir Games, licensed taxi drivers were able to pick up fares in Cincinnati, Covington, or Newport, regardless of which city they were licensed in as a result of the advisory board. More than 200 drivers participated in the program. This new agreement increased visitors’ access to events and programs during this international event. DCI continues to assemble welcome bags featuring special offers and products from 60 stakeholders for the employees of businesses new to downtown.

2. Strategy: Promote downtown residential living. For the first time, the Downtown Perceptions Survey was adapted for use by downtown residents. When respondents gave a home zip code of 45201 or 45202, they were redirected to a resident-specific version of the survey with new questions about living downtown to gain insights into better ways to meet their specific needs. In September, DCI, in partnership with the Downtown Residents Council, produced Live It Up Downtown: A Celebration of Urban Living. The festival was held on Fountain Square, and featured live entertainment; rental and purchase real estate offerings, tours, and open houses; and focused on promoting the small businesses and cultural amenities that make downtown a vibrant neighborhood to call home.
3. Strategy: Meet information needs of downtown stakeholders and other partners. DCI compiled and published the eighth annual State of Downtown Report in May, serving the information needs of stakeholders and the public. The media frequently references this report for statistics regarding downtown. DCI maintains a downtown monthly parking survey, updated quarterly, at downtowncincinnati.com. DCI serves as a member of the Casino Neighborhood Working Group, dedicated to working with the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, the City and other stakeholders to leverage the presence of the casino in a way that best benefits the city. The work is ongoing through 2014.
New residents to downtown are given welcome bags featuring special offers and products from 60 stakeholders.
Sponsored by 4EG and Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, Live It Up Downtown featured 57 booths from many businesses and cultural institutions, among them Avril Bleh & Son’s Meats, Cincinnati Museum Center, Fido Field, The Gym at Carew Tower, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, and YWCA. Guest enjoyed performances by local musicians, dancers, and artists.

ial c finanstatements Independent Auditors’ Report Board of Directors Downtown Cincinnati, Inc. Cincinnati, Ohio We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Downtown Cincinnati, Inc. (DCI) (a nonprofit organization) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DCI as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Downtown Cincinnati, Inc. (DCI or the Organization) is a nonprofit corporation organized to enhance downtown Cincinnati through safe and clean programs, communications and marketing programs and stakeholder services including assisting small women-owned and minority-owned firms. DCI receives contributions from Cincinnati area companies, foundations and funds from assessments on all downtown properties to take leadership in the revitalization of downtown. Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for not-for-profit entities that require, among other things, the net assets to be classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Organization and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Unrestricted net assets – Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations and may be utilized at the discretion of the Board of Directors to support the Organization’s purposes and operations in accordance with its bylaws. Temporarily restricted net assets – Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that will be met either by actions of the Organization satisfying the purpose or the passage of time. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Organization considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Organization maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which could exceed federally insured limits. The Organization has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. Certificate of Deposit Certificates of deposit are carried at cost which approximates fair value. The certificate held at December 31, 2012 matures in April 2013.

cial inan f s tatement s
Contracts and Accounts Receivable Contracts and accounts receivable consist of reimbursements due under contract agreements and general accounts receivable. The Organization provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances.
Donated Service The Organization records donated services as revenues in the period received only if the services received create or enhance non-financial assets or required specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. In 2012 and 2011, contribution revenue recognized for donated services was for media and promotions as presented in the statement of activities.
Unbilled Receivables Under the Special Improvement District (SID) contract through Downtown Cincinnati Improvement District (DCID), the Fountain Square Management Group (FSMG), SORTA and OTR Holdings contracts, the Organization bills actual monthly expenses the following month. Unbilled receivables represent December SID, FSMG, SORTA and OTR Holdings expenses to be billed in January of the following year. Also included in unbilled receivables at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were December consignment sales of promotional products (Commemorative Rookwood Tiles) billed in January of the following year.
Deferred Revenue Revenues from service contracts are deferred and recognized in the period to which the fees relate.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost or at fair value as of the date of the contribution. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The cost of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while significant improvements are capitalized. Contributions The Organization records gifts of cash and other assets at their fair value as of the date of contribution. Such donations are recorded as unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used. Gifts that are originally restricted by the donor and for which the restriction is met in the same time period are recorded as temporarily restricted and then released from restriction. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets are reported as restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulations about how long-lived assets must be maintained, the Organization reports expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired long-lived assets are placed in service.

Advanced Memberships Memberships received in advance are deferred and recognized in the period to which the memberships relate. Income Taxes DCI is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar provision of Ohio law. DCI is not considered a private foundation. The Organization’s IRS Form 990 is subject to review and examination by Federal and state authorities. The Organization is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status. The Organization is not aware of any activities that are subject to tax on unrelated business income, excise or other taxes. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of supporting the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the notes to the financial statements. Expenses have been classified based upon the actual direct expenditures and cost allocations based upon estimates of time spent by Organization personnel. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Event Evaluation In preparing its financial statements, the Organization has evaluated events subsequent to the statement of financial position date through March 14, 2013, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consisted of the following: 2012 2011 Computer equipment $ 46,546 $ 63,576 Office equipment 16,141 15,126 Computer software 8,566 8,566 71,253 87,268 Less accumulated depreciation (64,476) (79,632) $ 6,777 $ 7,636
