Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except per share data)

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls and community centers. CBL’s shopping center properties are located in 26 states, but primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).  At June 30, 2006, the Operating Partnership owned controlling interests in seventy-two regional malls, twenty-seven associated centers (each adjacent to a regional shopping mall), two community centers and one office building. The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Operating Partnership owned non-controlling interests in seven regional malls and three associated centers. Because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights, the Operating Partnership does not control these partnerships and, accordingly, accounts for these investments using the equity method. The Operating Partnership had one mall expansion, two open-air shopping center expansions, two associated centers and six community centers (two of which are owned in joint ventures) under construction at June 30, 2006. The Operating Partnership also holds options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At June 30, 2006, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.6% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 54.1% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 55.7%.

The minority interest in the Operating Partnership is held primarily by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively “CBL’s Predecessor”) and by affiliates of The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc. (“Jacobs”). CBL’s Predecessor contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993. Jacobs contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partner interests when the Operating Partnership acquired the majority of Jacobs’ interests in 23 properties in January 2001 and the balance of such interests in February 2002. At June 30, 2006, CBL’s Predecessor owned a 15.1% limited partner interest, Jacobs owned a 20.4% limited partner interest and third parties owned an 8.8% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL’s Predecessor also owned 6.2 million shares of CBL’s common stock at June 30, 2006, for a total combined effective interest of 20.4% in the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts CBL’s property management and development activities through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”) to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Operating Partnership owns 100% of the Management Company’s preferred stock and common stock.

CBL, the Operating Partnership and the Management Company are collectively referred to herein as “the Company”.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting

6

principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Note 2 – Joint Ventures

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

At June 30, 2006, the Company had investments in the following 14 partnerships and joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting:

Condensed combined financial statement information for the unconsolidated affiliates is as follows:

Note 3 – Mortgage and Other Notes Payable

Mortgage and other notes payable consisted of the following at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively:

(1) Weighted-average interest rate including the effect of debt premiums, but excluding amortization of deferred financing costs.

In July 2006, the Company obtained four separate ten-year, non-recourse loans totaling $317,000 that bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.86% to 6.10%, with a weighted average of 5.96%. The proceeds were used to retire $249,752 of mortgage notes payable that were scheduled to mature during the next twelve months and to pay outstanding balances on the Company’s credit facilities. The mortgage notes payable that were retired consisted of three variable rate term loans of $189,150 and one fixed rate loan of $60,602. The Company will record a loss on extinguishment of debt of $630 in July 2006 related to prepayment fees and the write-off of unamortized deferred financings costs.

Unsecured Line of Credit

The Company has one unsecured credit facility with total availability of $500,000 that bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 90 to 145 basis points based on the Company’s leverage, as defined in the agreement. The credit facility matures in August 2006 and has three one-year extension options, which are at the Company’s election. At June 30, 2006, the outstanding borrowings of $350,000 under the unsecured credit facility had a weighted average interest rate of 6.19%.

Secured Lines of Credit

The Company has four secured lines of credit that are used for construction, acquisition, and working capital purposes, as well as issuances of letters of credit. Each of these lines is secured by mortgages on certain of the Company’s operating properties. Borrowings under the secured lines of credit had a weighted average interest rate of 6.18% at June 30, 2006. The following summarizes certain information about the secured lines of credit as of June 30, 2006:

8

In February 2006, the Company amended one of the secured credit facilities to increase the maximum availability from $373,000 to $476,000, extend the maturity date from February 28, 2006 to February 28, 2009 plus a one-year extension option, increase the minimum tangible net worth requirement, as defined, from $1,000,000 to $1,370,000 and increase the limit on the maximum availability that the Company may request from $500,000 to $650,000.

In June 2006, the Company amended its $100,000 secured credit facility to change the maturity date from June 1, 2007 to June 1, 2008 and to substitute certain collateral under the facility.

Letters of Credit

At June 30, 2006, the Company had additional secured lines of credit with a total commitment of $33,192 that can only be used for issuing letters of credit. The letters of credit outstanding under these lines of credit was $26,741 at June 30, 2006.

Covenants and Restrictions

Twenty-three malls, five associated centers, two community centers and the corporate office building are owned by special purpose entities that are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The sole business purpose of the special purpose entities is to own and operate these properties, each of which is encumbered by a commercial-mortgage-backed-securities loan. The real estate and other assets owned by these special purpose entities are restricted under the loan agreements in that they are not available to settle other debts of the Company. However, so long as the loans are not under an event of default, as defined in the loan agreements, the cash flows from these properties, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to the Company.

Maturities

The weighted average remaining term of the Company’s consolidated debt was 4.5 years at June 30, 2006 and 4.7 years at December 31, 2005. As described above, in July 2006 the Company refinanced $249,752 of the $372,332 of debt that will mature before June 30, 2007. The Company has extension options that will extend the maturity date of $81,254 of debt beyond June 30, 2007. The mortgage notes payable comprising the remaining $41,326 are expected to be retired or refinanced.

Note 4 – Shareholders’ Equity And Minority Interests

In January 2006, holders of 1,480,066 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and holders of 27,582 Series J special common units (“J-SCUs”) of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership exercised their conversion rights. The Company elected to issue 1,480,066 shares of common stock in exchange for the common units and to pay cash of $1,112 in exchange for the J-SCUs.

9

In June 2006, holders of 63,881 J-SCUs exercised their conversion rights. The Company elected to pay cash of $2,350 in exchange for the J-SCUs.

Note 5 - Segment Information

The Company measures performance and allocates resources according to property type, which is determined based on certain criteria such as type of tenants, capital requirements, economic risks, leasing terms, and short- and long-term returns on capital. Rental income and tenant reimbursements from tenant leases provide the majority of revenues from all segments. Information on the Company’s reportable segments is presented as follows:

10

Note 6– Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of unrestricted common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their minority interest in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive. The following summarizes the impact of potential dilutive common shares on the denominator used to compute earnings per share:

Note 7– Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes all changes in shareholders’ equity during the period, except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income includes other comprehensive income (loss) of $(646) and $161 in the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, which represents unrealized gain on marketable securities that are classified as available for sale. Comprehensive income was $27,924 and $56,986 for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Comprehensive income was equal to net income for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Note 8- Contingencies

The Company is currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. It is management’s opinion that the pending litigation will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

11

The Company has guaranteed 50% of the debt of Parkway Place L.P., an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 45% interest, which owns Parkway Place in Huntsville, AL. The total amount outstanding at June 30, 2006, was $53,200 of which the Company has guaranteed $26,600. The guaranty will expire when the related debt matures in June 2008. The Company has not recorded an obligation for this guaranty because it has determined that the fair value of the guaranty is not material.

The Company has guaranteed the performance of York Town Center, LP (“YTC”), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that will own property adjacent to the shopping center property YTC is currently developing. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The Company has entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts the Company is obligated to fund under the guaranty. The Company has not recorded an obligation for this guaranty because it has determined that the fair value of the guaranty is not material.

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. At June 30, 2006, the total amount outstanding on these bonds was $22,577.

Note 9 - Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. The compensation committee of the board of directors (the “Committee”) administers the plan. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the plan was $1,512 and $794 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and $3,765 and $1,936 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Compensation cost resulting from share-based awards is recorded at the Management Company. The Management Company is a taxable entity; however, as a result of it incurring recurring losses, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against its net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, the recognition of compensation cost or the tax deduction received upon the exercise or vesting of share-based awards, resulted in no tax benefits to the Company. Compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $107 and $102 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $213 and $146 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Stock options issued under the plan allow for the purchase of common stock at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted to officers and employees vest and become exercisable in installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant and expire 10 years after the date of grant. Stock options granted to independent directors are fully vested upon grant; however, the independent directors may not sell, pledge or otherwise transfer their stock options during their board term or for one year thereafter. No stock options have been granted since 2002.

Under the plan, common stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other stock awards granted under the plan. The Committee has the authority to determine eligible persons to whom common stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded and the duration of the vesting period, as defined. The Committee may also provide for the issuance of common stock under the plan on a deferred basis pursuant to deferred compensation arrangements. The fair value of common stock awarded under the plan is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

12

Historically, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company elected to begin recording the expense associated with stock options granted after January 1, 2003, on a prospective basis in accordance with the fair value and transition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.

No stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003, has been reflected in net income since these awards are being accounted for under APB No. 25 and all options granted had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure purposes, the fair value of stock options was determined as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s net income available to common shareholders for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 is $77 and $171 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under SFAS 123.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to all outstanding and unvested awards in the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2005:

13

The Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is summarized as follows:

No stock options have been granted since the adoption of SFAS No. 123 on January 1, 2003. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $4,925 and $8,580, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $11,536 and $11,346, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested shares as of June 30, 2006, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2006, is presented below:

The weighted average grant-date fair value of shares granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $39.66 and $38.96, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $5,488 and $2,537, respectively.

As of June 30, 2006, there was $14,207 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.0 years.

Note 10 – Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

The Company’s noncash investing and financing activities were as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

14

Note 11 – Discontinued Operations

During May 2006, the Company sold three community centers for an aggregate sales price of $42,280 and recognized a gain of $7,215. The Company also sold two community centers in May 2006 for an aggregate sales price of $63,000 and recognized a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $274. Total revenues for these community centers were $1,419 and $326 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total revenues for these community centers were $4,984 and $525 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. All prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the operations of these community centers as discontinued operations.

All five of these community centers were sold to Galileo America LLC (“Galileo America”) in connection with a put right the Company had previously entered into with Galileo America. The Company, as tenant, entered into separate master lease agreements with Galileo America, as landlord, covering a total of three spaces in the properties sold to Galileo America. Under each master lease agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Galileo America an agreed-upon minimum annual rent, plus a pro rata share of common area maintenance expenses and real estate taxes, for each designated space for a term of two years from the closing date. The Company had a liability of $711 at June 30, 2006 for the amounts to be paid over the remaining terms of the master lease obligations. To the extent the Company is relieved of its obligations under the master lease agreements as a result of leasing the spaces to third parties, the Company will recognize additional gain on sale of real estate assets.

Note 12 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF Issue No. 04-5 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a limited partnership or a similar entity. EITF Issue No. 04-5 is effective after June 29, 2005, for all newly formed limited partnerships and for any pre-existing limited partnerships that modify their partnership agreements after that date. General partners of all other limited partnerships are required to apply the consensus no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-5 did not result in any changes to the manner in which the Company accounts for its joint ventures.

In June 2005, the FASB issued FSP 78-9-1, Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5. The EITF acknowledged that the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-5 conflicts with certain aspects of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures.”  The EITF agreed that the assessment of whether a general partner, or the general partners as a group, controls a limited partnership should be consistent for all limited partnerships, irrespective of the industry within which the limited partnership operates. Accordingly, the guidance in SOP 78-9 was amended in FSP 78-9-1 to be consistent with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 04-5. The effective dates for this FSP are the same as those mentioned above in EITF Issue No. 04-5. The adoption of FSP 78-9-1 did not result in any changes to the manner in which the Company accounts for its joint ventures.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial statements.

ITEM 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are included in this Form 10-Q. In this discussion, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company” refer to CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Certain statements made in this section or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained, and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the risk factors described in Part II, Item 1A. of this report, such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, general industry, economic and business conditions, interest rate fluctuations, costs of capital and capital requirements, availability of real estate properties, inability to consummate acquisition opportunities, competition from other companies and retail formats, changes in retail rental rates in the Company’s markets, shifts in customer demands, tenant bankruptcies or store closings, changes in vacancy rates at our properties, changes in operating expenses, changes in applicable laws, rules and regulations, the ability to obtain suitable equity and/or debt financing and the continued availability of financing in the amounts and on the terms necessary to support our future business. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking information.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls and community centers. Our shopping center properties are located in 26 states, but primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

As of June 30, 2006, we owned controlling interests in seventy-two regional malls, twenty-seven associated centers (each adjacent to a regional shopping mall), two community centers and one office building. We consolidate the financial statements of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or where we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. As of June 30, 2006, we owned non-controlling interests in seven regional malls and three associated centers. Because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights we do not control these partnerships and joint ventures and, accordingly, account for these investments using the equity method. We had one mall expansion, two open-air shopping center expansions,   two associated centers and six community centers (two of which are owned in joint ventures) under construction at June 30, 2006. We also hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

The majority of our revenues is derived from leases with retail tenants and generally includes base minimum rents, percentage rents based on tenants’ sales volumes and reimbursements from tenants for expenditures, including property operating expenses, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, as well as certain capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of outparcel land at the properties and from sales of operating real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize the maximum value of the assets. Proceeds from such sales are generally used to reduce borrowings on our credit facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following significant transactions impact the comparison of the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 to the results of operations for the comparable periods ended June 30, 2005:

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues

The $33.9 million increase in revenues resulted from an increase of $24.7 million attributable to the additional revenues from the New Properties, an increase of $10.0 million in revenues from the Comparable Properties, a decrease in management, development and leasing fees of $2.1 million resulting primarily from the sale of our management contracts with Galileo America, LLC in August 2005, and an increase in other revenues of $1.3 million due to growth in our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties..

Our cost recovery ratio improved to 105.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 103.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The improvement was due to increased recoveries from tenants related to renovation expenditures, as well as the seasonal fluctuation of operating expenses.

Expenses

The $10.8 million increase in property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, resulted from an increase of $7.5 million attributable to the New Properties and $3.3 million from the Comparable Properties.

The $11.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from increases of $9.4 million from the New Properties and $1.8 million from the Comparable Properties. The increase attributable to the Comparable Properties is due to ongoing capital expenditures for renovations, expansions, tenant allowances and deferred maintenance.

17

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million due to reductions in personnel as a result of the sale of our interest in Galileo America, LLC in August 2005. Additionally, we have increased the number of developments in progress compared to the same period a year ago, which has resulted in a larger amount of overhead expense being capitalized than compared to the same period a year ago. These decreases were partially offset by annual increases in salaries and benefits of existing personnel and the addition of new personnel to support our growth.

Other expense increased $1.5 million due to an increase in the operating expenses of our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense increased by $13.4 million due to the additional debt associated with the New Properties and an increase in the weighted average interest rate of our variable-rate debt as compared to the comparable period of the prior year.

Gain on Sales

Gain on sales of real estate assets of $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 relates to the sale of two outparcels. Gain on sales of real estate assets of $4.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 was related to sales of five outparcels.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $1.6 million primarily because of losses incurred at Triangle Town Center and a decrease in gains from outparcel sales at Imperial Valley Mall as compared to the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by increases in earnings of our other unconsolidated affiliates.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations in the three months ended June 30, 2006 reflects the results of operations of five community centers that were sold in May 2006. Discontinued operations in the three months ended June 30, 2005 represent the true up of estimated expenses to actual amounts for properties sold during previous periods, as well as the operations of community centers that were sold subsequent to June 30, 2005.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues

The $64.6 million increase in revenues resulted from an increase of $50.1 million attributable to the additional revenues from the New Properties, an increase in revenues of $16.0 million from the Comparable Properties, a decrease in management, development and leasing fees of $4.1 million resulting from the sale of our management contracts with Galileo America, LLC in August 2005, and an increase in other revenues of $2.6 million due to growth in our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Our cost recovery ratio increased slightly to 104.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 103.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This improvement was driven by increased recoveries from tenants related to renovation expenditures and a $0.9 million net improvement in bad debt expenses, as we recognized $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 for write-offs of

18

uncollectible accounts receivable offset by a $2.3 million reduction in our allowance for doubtful accounts. This is compared with net recoveries of $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Expenses

The $20.1 million increase in property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, resulted from an increase of $15.0 million attributable to the New Properties and $5.1 million from the Comparable Properties.

The $24.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from increases of $20.1 million from the New Properties and $4.5 million from the Comparable Properties. The increase attributable to the Comparable Properties is due to ongoing capital expenditures for renovations, expansions, tenant allowances and deferred maintenance.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million primarily as a result of annual increases in salaries and benefits of existing personnel and the addition of new personnel to support our growth, which was offset by an increase in the amount of overhead capitalized as a result of our increased level of development activities.

Other expense increased $2.2 million due to an increase of $2.4 million in the operating expenses of our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties and a decrease of $0.2 million in write-offs of abandoned development projects.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense increased by $28.4 million due to the additional debt associated with the New Properties and an increase in the weighted average interest rate of our variable-rate debt as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Gain on Sales

Gain on sales of real estate assets of $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 relates to the sale of three outparcels. Gain on sales of real estate assets of $7.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 was related to a gain of $6.1 million from sales of seven outparcels and a gain of $1.0 million from the recognition of deferred gain related to properties that were previously sold to Galileo America.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $2.6 million because of the disposition of our ownership interest in Galileo America, LLC in August 2005, losses incurred at Triangle Town Center and a decrease in gains from outparcel sales at Imperial Valley Mall as compared to the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by increases in earnings of our other unconsolidated affiliates.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations in the three months ended June 30, 2006 reflects the results of operations of five community centers that were sold during May 2006. Discontinued operations in the six months ended June 30, 2005 are related to five community centers located throughout Michigan that were sold in March 2005, as well as the operations of community centers that were sold subsequent to June 30, 2005.

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter because of the holiday season. Additionally, the malls earn most of their “temporary” rents (rents from short-term tenants), during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

We classify our regional malls into two categories – malls that have completed their initial lease-up are referred to as stabilized malls and malls that are in their initial lease-up phase and have not been open for three calendar years are referred to as non-stabilized malls. The non-stabilized malls currently include Coastal Grand-Myrtle Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC, which opened in March 2004; Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, CA, which opened in March 2005; Southaven Towne Center in Southaven, MS, which opened in October 2005; and Gulf Coast Town Center - Phase I in Ft. Myers, FL, which opened in November 2005.

We derive a significant amount of our revenues from the mall properties. The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows:

Sales and Occupancy Costs

Mall store sales (for those tenants who occupy 10,000 square feet or less and have reported sales) increased by 3.8% on a comparable per square foot basis to $335 per square foot for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2006.

Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for the stabilized malls were 13.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Occupancy

Stabilized mall occupancy, and as a result, total portfolio occupancy, were negatively impacted by the vacancies that have occurred related to Casual Corner and Musicland. There have been 26 Casual Corner/Petite Sophisticate stores with 147,000 square feet that terminated their leases early. We have made significant progress on re-leasing the vacant Casual Corner spaces and have over 50% of the space leased and committed. The occupancy numbers are still negatively impacted, however, as only three stores totaling 7,500 square feet were open at June 30, 2006. Musicland has closed 32 stores during 2006 totaling 114,000 square feet. As of June 30, 2006, we have executed new leases for just over 10,000 square feet of the vacant space.

20

The following table presents the results we achieved in new and renewal leasing during the six months ended June 30, 2006 for small shop spaces less than 20,000 square feet that were previously occupied, excluding junior anchors:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

There was $40.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2006, an increase of $11.2 million from December 31, 2005. Cash flows from operations are used to fund short-term liquidity and capital needs such as tenant construction allowances, capital expenditures and payments of dividends and distributions. For longer-term liquidity needs such as acquisitions, new developments, renovations and expansions, we typically rely on property specific mortgages (which are generally non-recourse), construction and term loans, revolving lines of credit, common stock, preferred stock, joint venture investments and a minority interest in the Operating Partnership.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased by $20.1 million to $192.1 million from $172.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase is primarily due to the operations of the New Properties being included for all of the six months ended June 30, 2006, while the six months ended June 30, 2005 only included one month of operations of one New Property that was acquired in June 2005. Improvements in the operations of the Comparable Properties also contributed to the increase. These increases were offset by an increase of $26.9 in the amount of cash that was paid for interest on outstanding borrowings, excluding cash interest payments that were capitalized.

Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we borrowed $163.2 million under mortgage and other notes payable and paid $129.7 million to reduce outstanding borrowings under mortgage and other notes payable. We also paid $2.8 million of costs directly related to borrowings and our credit facilities.

21

The following tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share (including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding minority investors’ share of shopping center properties) because we believe this provides investors a clearer understanding of our total debt obligations and liquidity (in thousands):

We have four secured credit facilities with total availability of $606.0 million, of which $427.5 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2006. The secured credit facilities bear interest at rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 90 to 100 basis points.

We have an unsecured credit facility with total availability of $500.0 million, of which $350.0 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2006. The unsecured credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 90 to 145 basis points based on our leverage.

We also have secured and unsecured lines of credit with total availability of $33.2 million that can only be used to issue letters of credit. There was $26.7 million outstanding under these lines at June 30, 2006.

In July 2006, we obtained four separate ten-year, non-recourse loans totaling $317.0 million that bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.86% to 6.10%, with a weighted average of 5.96%. The proceeds of these loans were used to retire $249.8 million of mortgage notes payable that were scheduled to mature during the next twelve months and to pay outstanding balances on the Company’s credit facilities. The loans that were retired consisted of three variable rate term loans of $189.2 million and one fixed rate loan of $60.6. The Company will record a loss on extinguishment of debt of $630 in July 2006 related to prepayment fees and the write-off of unamortized deferred financings costs.

The secured and unsecured credit facilities contain, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements, and limitations on cash flow distributions. We were in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions under our credit facilities at June 30, 2006. Additionally, certain property-specific mortgage notes payable require the maintenance of debt service coverage ratios. At June 30, 2006, the properties subject to these mortgage notes payable were in compliance with the applicable ratios.

22

We expect to refinance the majority of mortgage and other notes payable maturing over the next five years with replacement loans. Based on our pro rata share of total debt, there is $381.3 million of debt that is scheduled to mature before June 30, 2007. As described above, in July 2006 we refinanced $249.8 million. There are extension options in place that will extend the maturity of $81.2 million of this debt beyond June 30, 2007. The remaining $56.4 million of debt that is maturing before June 30, 2007 is expected to be retired or refinanced.

In January 2006, holders of 1,480,066 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and holders of 27,582 Series J special common units (“J-SCUs”) of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership exercised their conversion rights. We elected to issue 1,480,066 shares of common stock in exchange for the common units and to pay cash of $1.1 million in exchange for the J-SCUs.

In June 2006, holders of 63,881 J-SCUs exercised their conversion rights and we elected to pay cash of $2.4 million in exchange for the J-SCUs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we received $5.2 million in proceeds from issuances of common stock related to exercises of employee stock options and from our dividend reinvestment plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we paid dividends of $79.0 million to holders of our common stock and our preferred stock, as well as $56.2 million in distributions to the minority interest investors in our Operating Partnership and certain shopping center properties.

As a publicly traded company, we have access to capital through both the public equity and debt markets. In January 2006, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission authorizing us to publicly issue shares of preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. There is no limit to the offering price or number of shares that we may issue under this shelf registration statement.

We anticipate that the combination of equity and debt sources will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to continue our capital programs substantially as in the past and make distributions to our shareholders in accordance with the requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts.

Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of equity, our debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market value equity) ratio was as follows at June 30, 2006 (in thousands, except stock prices):

23

As of June 30, 2006, our variable rate debt of $1.15 billion represents 12.1% of our total market capitalization and 25.1% of our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt. As previously discussed, we reduced our variable rate debt by $253.8 million in July 2006.

Capital Expenditures

We expect to continue to have access to the capital resources necessary to expand and develop our business. Future development and acquisition activities will be undertaken as suitable opportunities arise. We do not expect to pursue these opportunities unless adequate sources of funding are available and a satisfactory budget with targeted returns on investment has been internally approved.

An annual capital expenditures budget is prepared for each property that is intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

The following tables summarize our development projects as of June 30, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

24

25

There are construction loans in place for the costs of Alamance Crossing, Gulf Coast Town Center, The Plaza at Fayette, High Pointe Commons and Lakeview Pointe. The remaining costs will be funded with operating cash flows and the credit facilities.

We have entered into a number of option agreements for the development of future regional malls, open-air centers and community centers. Except for the projects discussed under Developments and Expansions above, we do not have any other material capital commitments.

Dispositions

We received $105.3 million in net proceeds from the sales of five community centers in May 2006 and received $4.3 million in net proceeds from the sale of three outparcels during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Other Capital Expenditures

Including our share of unconsolidated affiliates’ capital expenditures and excluding minority investor’s share of capital expenditures, we spent $15.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 for tenant allowances, which generate increased rents from tenants over the terms of their leases. Deferred maintenance expenditures were $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and included $1.5 million for roof repairs and replacements, $2.1 million for resurfacing and improved lighting of parking lots and $0.8 million for other capital expenditures. Renovation expenditures were $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5- to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which approximately 30% is recovered from tenants over a 5- to 15-year period.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The following discussion describes our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgment or use of complex estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms, including rent holidays, of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

We receive reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, utilities and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods

26

of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue when billed.

We receive management, leasing and development fees from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development and leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates during the development period are recognized as revenue to the extent of the third-party partners’ ownership interest. Fees to the extent of our ownership interest are recorded as a reduction to our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined that the sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate, our receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When we have an ownership interest in the buyer, gain is recognized to the extent of the third party partner’s ownership interest and the portion of the gain attributable to our ownership interest is deferred.

Real Estate Assets

We capitalize predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and tenant improvements, (ii) and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases. We use estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation methods to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt with a stated interest rate that is significantly different from market interest rates is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate long-lived assets to determine if there has been any impairment in their carrying values and record impairment losses if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts or if there are other indicators of impairment. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated

fair value will be charged to operations. We recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million during the

27

three months and the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the true-up of certain estimated costs related to two of the community centers that were sold in May 2006. We had previously recognized an impairment loss of $1.0 million related to these community centers in the fourth quarter of 2005. We recognized an impairment charge of $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, related to the sale of four community centers in January 2005.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. EITF Issue No. 04-5 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a limited partnership or a similar entity. EITF Issue No. 04-5 is effective after June 29, 2005, for all newly formed limited partnerships and for any pre-existing limited partnerships that modify their partnership agreements after that date. General partners of all other limited partnerships are required to apply the consensus no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-5 did not result in any changes to the manner in which we account for our joint ventures.

In June 2005, the FASB issued FSP 78-9-1, Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5. The EITF acknowledged that the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-5 conflicts with certain aspects of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. The EITF agreed that the assessment of whether a general partner, or the general partners as a group, controls a limited partnership should be consistent for all limited partnerships, irrespective of the industry within which the limited partnership operates. Accordingly, the guidance in SOP 78-9 was amended in FSP 78-9-1 to be consistent with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 04-5. The effective dates for this FSP are the same as those mentioned above in EITF Issue No. 04-5. The adoption of FSP 78-9-1 did not result in any changes to the manner in which we account for our joint ventures.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our financial statements.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of the relatively low inflation rate. Substantially all tenant leases do, however, contain provisions designed to protect the Company from the impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rent based on tenant’s gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years, which may enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rents if rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Most of the leases require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

28

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO available for distribution as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

FFO increased 6.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $88.5 million compared to $83.2 million for the same period in 2005. FFO increased 7.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $185.1 million compared to $171.7 million for the same period in 2005. The New Properties generated 51% and 74% of the growth in FFO in the three-month and six-month periods, respectively.

The calculation of FFO is as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our debt obligations and derivative financial instruments. We may elect to use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates, but will not use them for speculative purposes. Our interest rate risk management policy requires that derivative instruments be used for hedging purposes only and that they be entered into only with major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other factors.

29

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable rate debt at June 30, 2006, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on this variable-rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $5.7 million and, after the effect of capitalized interest, annual earnings by approximately $5.3 million.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at June 30, 2006, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $72.3 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $74.7 million.

We did not have any derivative financial instruments during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or at June 30, 2005.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of its effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation, under Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

None

The following information updates the information disclosed in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, by providing information that is current as of June 30, 2006:

RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Real property investments are subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause declines in the operating revenues and/or the underlying value of one or more of our Properties.

A number of factors may decrease the income generated by a retail shopping center property, including:

30

factors which tend to reduce consumer spending on retail goods.

In addition, other factors may adversely affect the value of our Properties without affecting their current revenues, including:

The loss of one or more significant tenants, due to bankruptcies or as a result of ongoing consolidations in the retail industry, could adversely affect both the operating revenues and value of our Properties.

Regional malls are typically anchored by well-known department stores and other significant tenants who generate shopping traffic at the mall. A decision by an anchor tenant or other significant tenant to cease operations at one or more Properties could have a material adverse effect on those Properties and, by extension, on our financial condition and results of operations. The closing of an anchor or other significant tenant may allow other anchors and/or tenants at an affected Property to terminate their leases, to seek rent relief and/or cease operating their stores or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the Property. In addition, key tenants at one or more Properties might terminate their leases as a result of mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or bankruptcies in the retail industry. The bankruptcy and/or closure of one or more significant tenants, if we are not able to successfully re-tenant the affected space, could have a material adverse effect on both the operating revenues and underlying value of the Properties involved.

We may incur significant costs related to compliance with environmental laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow and the funds available to us to pay dividends.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or

31

previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in that real property. These laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remedy environmental hazards properly, may adversely affect the owner’s or operator’s ability to sell or rent affected real property or to borrow money using affected real property as collateral.

Persons or entities that arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not that facility is owned or operated by the person or entity arranging for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. Laws exist that impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real property for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos-containing materials. In connection with our ownership, operation, management, development and redevelopment of our Properties, or any other Properties we acquire in the future, we may be potentially liable under these laws and may incur costs in responding to these liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow and the funds available to us to pay dividends.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

We may elect not to proceed with certain development projects once they have been undertaken, resulting in charges that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken.

We intend to pursue development and expansion activities as opportunities arise. In connection with any development or expansion, we will incur various risks including the risk that development or expansion opportunities explored by us may be abandoned and the risk that construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project not profitable.

In the event of an unsuccessful development project, our loss could exceed our investment in the project.

We have in the past elected not to proceed with certain development projects and anticipate that we will do so again from time to time in the future. If we elect not to proceed with a development opportunity, the development costs ordinarily will be charged against income for the then-current period. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken.
