1. Organization:
The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers (the "Centers") located throughout the United States.
The Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering on March 16, 1994. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was the sole general partner of and held a 92% ownership interest in The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company was organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The property management, leasing and redevelopment of the Company's portfolio is provided by the Company's management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Management Company, a California corporation, Westcor Partners, L.L.C., a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Westcor Management LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Westcor Partners of Colorado, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, MACW Mall Management, Inc., a New York corporation, and MACW Property Management, LLC, a single member New York limited liability company. All seven of the management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Management Companies."
All references to the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent public accountants.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Investments in entities in which the Company retains a controlling financial interest or entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity in which the Company has, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests, both the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity are consolidated; otherwise they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are reflected as "Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures." All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Charges:
Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. As these deferred leasing costs represent productive assets incurred in connection with the Company's provision of leasing arrangements at the Centers, the related cash flows are classified as investing activities within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Costs relating to financing of shopping center properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In-place lease values are amortized over the remaining lease term plus an estimate of renewal. Leasing commissions and legal costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the individual lease years.
The range of the terms of the agreements is as follows:
Deferred lease costs |
1-15 years | |
Deferred financing costs |
1-15 years | |
In-place lease values |
Remaining lease term plus an estimate for renewal | |
Leasing commissions and legal costs |
5-10 years |
Tenant and Other Receivables, net:
Included in tenant and other receivables, net, is an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,717 and $5,943 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Included in tenant and other receivables, net, are the following notes receivable:

2010. The note was paid off in full on June 30, 2010 and had a balance at December 31, 2009 of $11,763.
On August 16, 2009, the Company received a note receivable from J&R Holdings XV, LLC ("Pederson") that bears interest at 10% and matures August 14, 2014. Pederson is considered a related party because it has an ownership interest in Promenade at Casa Grande. The note is secured by Pederson's interest in Promenade at Casa Grande. Interest income on the note was $39 and $83 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The balance on the note at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $1,320 and $1,800, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted:
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance which removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and requires a transferor to consider all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, a transfer of a financial asset in order to determine whether a transferor and all of the entities included in the transferor's financial statements being presented have surrendered control of the transferred financial asset. The adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new consolidation guidance for determining whether a reporting enterprise is the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity and therefore should consolidate the variable interest entity in its financial statements. The new consolidation guidance also requires ongoing reassessments and additional disclosures about the reporting enterprise's involvement with the variable interest entity. The Company identified two variable interest entities which meet the criteria for consolidation under the new consolidation guidance. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities as it has both the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entities. The adoption of the new consolidation guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company had consolidated these variable interest entities in its consolidated financial statements based upon the risks and rewards-based quantitative approach under the prior consolidation guidance. The aggregate total revenues of these variable interest entities included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $2,673 and $6,331 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The total expenses relating to the operating activities of these variable interest entities included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations were $4,187 and $7,699 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. At June 30, 2010, the significant assets and liabilities of these variable interest entities consisted of property of $82,572 and mortgage notes payable of $41,913.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance that requires new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, further disaggregation of fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, and

additional details of valuation techniques and inputs utilized. The adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance that requires that dividends declared and payable in a combination of stock and cash be included in earnings per share prospectively and not be considered a stock dividend for purposes of computing earnings per share. This guidance is consistent with the Company's previous accounting treatment and therefore the adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

4. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
The Company accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting unless the Company retains a controlling financial interest in the joint venture or the joint venture meets the definition of a variable interest entity in which the Company is the primary beneficiary through both its power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Although the Company has a greater than 50% interest in Pacific Premier Retail Trust, Camelback Colonnade SPE LLC, Corte Madera Village, LLC, Queens Mall Limited Partnership and Queens Mall Expansion Limited Partnership, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in these joint ventures as it shares management control with the partners in these joint ventures and, therefore, accounts for its investments in these joint ventures using the equity method of accounting.
The Company has recently made the following investments in unconsolidated joint ventures:
On July 30, 2009, the Company sold a 49% ownership interest in Queens Center to a third party for $152,654, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $154,156. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the ownership interest in the property to pay down a term loan and for general corporate purposes. The results of Queens Center are included below for the period subsequent to the sale of the ownership interest.
On September 3, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture with a third party whereby the Company sold a 75% interest in FlatIron Crossing. As part of this transaction, the Company issued three warrants for an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company (See Note 14Stockholders' Equity). The Company received $123,750 in cash proceeds for the overall transaction, of which $8,068 was attributed to the warrants. The proceeds attributable to the interest sold exceeded the Company's carrying value in the interest sold by $28,720. However, due to certain contractual rights

afforded to the buyer of the interest in FlatIron Crossing, the Company recognized a gain on sale of $2,506. The remaining net cash proceeds in excess of the Company's carrying value in the interest sold has been included in other accrued liabilities and will not be recognized until dissolution of the joint venture or disposition of the Company's or buyer's interest in the joint venture. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the ownership interest to pay down a term loan and for general corporate purposes. The results of FlatIron Crossing are included below for the period subsequent to the sale of the ownership interest.
Combined and condensed balance sheets and statements of operations are presented below for all unconsolidated joint ventures.

5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:
The Company recognizes all derivatives in the consolidated financial statements and measures the derivatives at fair value. The Company uses interest rate swap and cap agreements (collectively, "interest rate agreements") in the normal course of business to manage or reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. The Company designs its hedges to be effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. Any instrument that meets the cash flow hedging criteria is formally designated as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. On an ongoing quarterly basis, the Company adjusts its balance sheet to reflect the current fair value of its derivatives. To the extent they are effective, changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded in comprehensive income. Ineffective portions, if any, are included in net income (loss). No ineffectiveness was recorded in net loss during the three or six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. If any derivative instrument used for risk management does not meet the hedging criteria, it is marked-to-market each period in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2010, all of the Company's derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2010, the Company's derivative instruments did not contain any credit risk related contingent features or collateral arrangements.
Amounts paid (received) as a result of interest rate agreements are recorded as an addition (reduction) to (of) interest expense. The Company recorded other comprehensive income (loss) related to the marking-to-market of interest rate agreements of $5,209 and ($15,501) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $13,188 and $17,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amount expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is immaterial.

6. Fair Value:
The fair values of interest rate agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fell below or rose above the strike rate of the interest rate agreements. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Most of the mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for the early extinguishment of the debt.
The Company expects all 2010 loan maturities will be refinanced, extended and/or paid-off from the Company's line of credit or with cash on hand.
Total interest expense capitalized was $8,320 and $4,763 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $16,509 and 9,823 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Related party mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of NML. See Note 17Related-Party Transactions for interest expense associated with loans from NML.
The fair value of mortgage notes payable at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $3,127,529 and $2,897,332, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans. The method for computing fair value was determined using a present value model and an interest rate that included a

credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt.
11. Bank and Other Notes Payable:
Bank and other notes payable consist of the following:
Convertible Senior Notes ("Senior Notes"):
On March 16, 2007, the Company issued $950,000 in Senior Notes that are to mature on March 15, 2012. The Senior Notes bear interest at 3.25%, payable semiannually, are senior to unsecured debt of the Company and are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. Prior to December 14, 2011, upon the occurrence of certain specified events, the Senior Notes will be convertible at the option of holder into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the election of the Company, at an initial conversion rate of 8.9702 shares per $1 principal amount. On and after December 15, 2011, the Senior Notes will be convertible at any time prior to the second business day preceding the maturity date at the option of the holder at the initial conversion rate. The initial conversion price of approximately $111.48 per share represented a 20% premium over the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 12, 2007. In addition, the Senior Notes are covered by two capped calls that effectively increased the conversion price of the Senior Notes to approximately $130.06, which represents a 40% premium to the March 12, 2007 closing price of $92.90 per common share of the Company. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Holders of the Senior Notes do not have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Senior Notes prior to maturity except in connection with the occurrence of certain fundamental change transactions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company repurchased and retired $18,468 of the Senior Notes for $18,191 and recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $489. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased and retired $27,500 and $84,315, respectively, of the Senior Notes for $18,950 and $50,705, respectively, and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $7,127 and $29,601, respectively. The repurchases were funded by borrowings under the Company's line of credit or from cash proceeds from the common stock offering.
The carrying value of the Senior Notes at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $601,676 and $614,245, respectively, which included unamortized discount of $17,956 and $23,855, respectively. The unamortized discount is amortized into interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes in a manner that approximates the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the effective interest rate was 5.41%. The fair value of the Senior Notes at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $597,945 and $596,624, respectively, based on the quoted market price on each date.
Line of Credit:
The Company has a $1,500,000 revolving line of credit that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.10% depending on the Company's overall leverage that was scheduled to mature on April 25, 2010. On April 25, 2010, the Company extended the maturity date to April 25, 2011.

11. Bank and Other Notes Payable: (Continued)
On April 20, 2010, the Company paid down in full the line of credit with the proceeds from its equity offering of common stock. See Note 14Stockholders' Equity. As of December 31, 2009, borrowings outstanding were $655,000 at an average interest rate of 6.10%. The fair value of the Company's line of credit at December 31, 2009 was $643,662 based on a present value model using current interest rate spreads offered to the Company for comparable debt.
Greeley Note:
On July 27, 2006, concurrent with the sale of Greeley Mall, the Company provided marketable securities to replace Greeley Mall as collateral for the mortgage note payable on the property (See Note 8Marketable Securities). As a result of this transaction, the mortgage note payable was reclassified to bank and other notes payable. This note bears interest at an effective rate of 6.34% and matures in September 2013. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Greeley note had a balance outstanding of $25,991 and $26,353, respectively. The fair value of the note at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $21,002 and $20,589, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans. The method for computing fair value was determined using a present value model and an interest rate that included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants.
12. Co-Venture Arrangement:
On September 30, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture, whereby a third party acquired a 49.9% interest in Freehold Raceway Mall and Chandler Fashion Center. As part of this transaction, the Company issued a warrant in favor of the third party to purchase 935,358 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $46.68 per share. See "Warrants" in Note 14Stockholders' Equity. The Company received approximately $174,650 in cash proceeds for the overall transaction, of which $6,496 was attributed to the warrants.
As a result of the Company having certain rights under the agreement to repurchase the assets after the seventh year of the venture formation, the transaction did not qualify for sale treatment. The Company, however, is not obligated to repurchase the assets. The transaction has been accounted for as a profit-sharing arrangement, and accordingly the assets, liabilities and operations of the properties remain on the books of the Company and a co-venture obligation was established for the net cash proceeds received from the third party less costs allocated to the warrant. The co-venture obligation is increased for the allocation of income to the co-venture partner and decreased for distributions to the co-venture partner.
13. Noncontrolling Interests:
The Company allocates net income of the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average ownership interest during the period. The 8% limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership

not owned by the Company at June 30, 2010 is reflected in these consolidated financial statements as permanent equity.
The interests in the Operating Partnership are known as OP Units. OP Units not held by the Company are redeemable at the election of the holder, and the Company may redeem them for the Company's stock or cash, at the Company's option. The redemption value for each OP Unit as of any balance sheet date is the amount equal to the average of the closing price per share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten trading days ending on the respective balance sheet date. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the aggregate redemption value of the then-outstanding OP Units not owned by the Company was $473,897 and $422,074, respectively.
The Company issued common and preferred units of MACWH, LP in April 2005 in connection with the acquisition of the Wilmorite portfolio. The common and preferred units of MACWH, LP are redeemable at the election of the holder, the Company may redeem them for cash or shares of the Company's stock at the Company's option, and they are classified as permanent equity.
Included in permanent equity are outside ownership interests in various consolidated joint ventures. The joint ventures do not have rights that require the Company to redeem the ownership interests in either cash or stock.
As of June 30, 2010, the outside ownership interests in the Company's joint venture in Shoppingtown Mall had a purchase option for $20,591. In addition, under certain conditions as defined by the partnership agreement, these partners have the right to "put" their partnership interests to the Company. Due to the redemption feature of the ownership interest in Shoppingtown Mall, these noncontrolling interests have been included in temporary equity. On July 23, 2010, the outside ownership interests reduced their ownership interest through redemption of their interest for $9,225.
14. Stockholders' Equity:
Stock Dividends:
On June 22, 2009, the Company issued 2,236,954 common shares to its common stockholders and OP Unit holders in connection with a declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share of common stock to holders of record on May 11, 2009, consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The cash component of the dividend (not including cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) was 10% in the aggregate, or $0.06 per share, with the balance paid in shares of the Company's common stock.
On September 21, 2009, the Company issued 1,658,023 common shares to its common stockholders and OP Unit holders in connection with a declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share of common stock to holders of record on August 12, 2009, consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The cash component of the dividend (not including cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) was 10% in the aggregate, or $0.06 per share, with the balance paid in shares of the Company's common stock.

14. Stockholders' Equity: (Continued)
On December 21, 2009, the Company issued 1,817,951 common shares to its common stockholders and OP Unit holders in connection with a declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share of common stock to holders of record on November 12, 2009, consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The cash component of the dividend (not including cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) was 10% in the aggregate, or $0.06 per share, with the balance paid in shares of the Company's common stock.
On March 22, 2010, the Company issued 1,449,542 common shares to its common stockholders and OP Unit holders in connection with a declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share of common stock to holders of record on February 16, 2010, consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The cash component of the dividend (not including cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) was 10% in the aggregate, or $0.06 per share, with the balance paid in shares of the Company's common stock.
In accordance with the provisions of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2009-15, stockholders were asked to make an election to receive the dividends all in cash or all in shares. To the extent that more than 10% of cash was elected in the aggregate, the cash portion was prorated. Stockholders who elected to receive the dividends in cash received a cash payment of at least $0.06 per share. Stockholders who did not make an election received 10% in cash and 90% in shares of common stock. The number of shares issued on June 22, 2009 as a result of the dividend was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading prices of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 10, 2009 through June 12, 2009 of $19.9927. The number of shares issued on September 21, 2009 as a result of the dividend was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading prices of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 9, 2009 through September 11, 2009 of $28.51. The number of shares issued on December 21, 2009 as a result of the dividend was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading prices of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 9, 2009 through December 11, 2009 of $30.16. The number of shares issued on March 22, 2010 as a result of the dividend was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading prices of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 10, 2010 through March 12, 2010 of $38.53.
Warrants:
On September 3, 2009, the Company issued three warrants in connection with the sale of a 75% ownership interest in FlatIron Crossing. (See Note 4Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.) The warrants provided for a purchase in the aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants were valued at $8,068 and recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital. Each warrant had a three-year term and was immediately exercisable upon its issuance, had an exercise price of approximately $30.62 per share until September 3, 2011 and an exercise price of approximately $34.79 from September 4, 2011 until September 3, 2012, with such prices subject to anti-dilutive adjustments. In May 2010, the warrants were exercised pursuant to the holders' net issue exercise request and the Company elected to deliver a cash payment of $17,589 in exchange for the warrants.
On September 30, 2009, the Company issued a warrant in connection with its formation of a co-venture to own and operate Freehold Raceway Mall and Chandler Fashion Center. (See

14. Stockholders' Equity: (Continued)
Note 12Co-Venture Arrangement.) The warrant provides for the purchase of 935,358 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrant was valued at $6,496 and recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital. The warrant was immediately exercisable upon its issuance and will expire 30 days after the refinancing or repayment of each loan encumbering the Centers has closed. The warrant has an exercise price of $46.68 per share, with such price subject to anti-dilutive adjustments. The warrant allows for either gross or net issue settlement at the option of the warrant holder. In the event that the warrant holder elects a net issue settlement, the Company may elect to settle the warrant in cash or shares; provided, however, that in the event the Company elects to deliver cash, the holder may elect to instead have the exercise of the warrant satisfied in shares. In addition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the warrant holder whereby the Company provided certain registration rights regarding the resale of shares of common stock underlying the warrant.
The issuance of the warrants was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Each investor represented that it was an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and that it was acquiring the securities for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act.
Stock Offering:
On April 20, 2010, the Company completed an offering of 30,000,000 newly issued shares of its common stock and on April 23, 2010 issued an additional 1,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock in connection with the underwriters' exercise of its over-allotment option. The net proceeds of the offering, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of all 31,000,000 shares of common stock at an initial price to the public of $41.00 per share, were approximately $1,220,880 after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other transaction costs. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to pay down its line of credit in full and reduce certain property indebtedness. The Company plans to use the remaining cash for debt repayments or general corporate purposes.
15. Discontinued Operations:
The following operations were recently discontinued:
Mervyn's:

16. Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company has certain properties subject to non-cancelable operating ground leases. The leases expire at various times through 2107, subject in some cases to options to extend the terms of the lease. Certain leases provide for contingent rent payments based on a percentage of base rental income, as defined in the lease. Ground rent expense was $1,181 and $2,052 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2,768 and $4,087 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. No contingent rent was incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was contingently liable for $27,030 in letters of credit guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations relating to the Centers. The Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the Company. In addition, the Company has a $20,591 letter of credit that serves as collateral for a liability assumed in the acquisition of Shoppingtown Mall.
The Company has entered into a number of construction agreements related to its redevelopment and development activities. Obligations under these agreements are contingent upon the completion of the services within the guidelines specified in the agreement. At June 30, 2010, the Company had $26,949 in outstanding obligations under these construction agreements which it believes will be settled in 2010.
17. Related-Party Transactions:
Certain unconsolidated joint ventures and third-parties have engaged the Management Companies to manage the operations of the Centers. Under these arrangements, the Management Companies are reimbursed for compensation paid to on-site employees, leasing agents and project managers at the Centers, as well as insurance costs and other administrative expenses. The following are fees charged to unconsolidated joint ventures and third-party managed properties:

Certain mortgage notes on the properties are held by NML (See Note 10Mortgage Notes Payable). Interest expense in connection with these notes was $3,103 and $6,254 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $6,205 and $12,044 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These loans represent initial funds advanced for development stage projects prior to construction loan funding. Correspondingly, loan payables in the same amount have been accrued as an obligation by the various joint ventures.
Due from affiliates of $5,608 and $6,034 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, represents unreimbursed costs and fees due from unconsolidated joint ventures under management agreements.
18. Share and Unit-Based Plans:
The Company has established share and unit-based compensation plans for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers, directors and key employees. In addition, the Company has established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan to allow employees to purchase the Company's common stock at a discount.
On February 25, 2009, the Company reduced its workforce by 142 employees out of a total of approximately 2,845 regular and temporary employees. This reduction in workforce was a result of the Company's review and realignment of its strategic priorities, including its expectation of reduced development and redevelopment activity in the near future. As part of the plan, the Company accelerated the vesting of the share and unit-based awards of certain terminated employees. As a result of the modification of the awards, the Company recorded a reduction in compensation cost of $487.
On March 5, 2010, the Company granted 232,632 limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") under the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") to four executive officers at a weighted average grant date fair value of $48.89. The new grants vest over a service period ending January 31, 2011 based on the percentile ranking of the Company in terms of total return to stockholders (the "Total Return") per common stock share relative to the Total Return of a group of peer REITs, as measured at the end of the measurement period. Upon the occurrence of specified events and subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions, LTIP Units (after conversion into OP Units) are ultimately redeemable for common stock on a one-unit for one-share basis.
The fair value of the Company's LTIP Units granted in 2010 was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The stock price of the Company, along with the stock prices of the group of peer REITs, was assumed to follow the Multivariate Geometric Brownian Motion Process. Multivariate Geometric Brownian Motion modeling is commonly used in financial markets, as it allows the modeled quantity (in this case, the stock price) to vary randomly from its current value based on the stock price's expected volatility and current market interest rates. The volatilities of the returns on the price of the Company and the peer group REITs were estimated based on a .91-year look-back period. The expected growth rate of the stock prices over the derived service period was determined with consideration of the risk free rate as of the grant date.
On March 26, 2010, as part of a separation agreement with a former executive, the Company modified the terms of the awards of 83,794 restricted stock units and 5,109 LTIP Units granted under the LTIP then outstanding. As a result of this modification, the Company recognized an additional $2,994 and $3,593 of compensation cost in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

19. Income Taxes:
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. It is management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level

(Unaudited)
19. Income Taxes: (Continued)
federal income tax on net income it distributes currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any.
Each partner is taxed individually on its share of partnership income or loss, and accordingly, no provision for federal and state income tax is provided for the Operating Partnership in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has made Taxable REIT Subsidiary elections for all of its corporate subsidiaries other than its Qualified REIT Subsidiaries. The elections, effective for the year beginning January 1, 2001 and future years were made pursuant to section 856(l) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's Taxable REIT Subsidiaries ("TRSs") are subject to corporate level income taxes which are provided for in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's primary TRSs include Macerich Management Company and Westcor Partners, L.L.C.
The income tax benefit of the TRSs is as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities of the TRSs relate primarily to differences in the book and tax bases of property and to operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. The net operating loss carryforwards are currently scheduled to expire through 2028, beginning in 2020. Net deferred tax assets of $15,335 and $11,866 were included in deferred charges and other assets, net at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
The tax years 2006-2009 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change within the next 12 months.

20. Subsequent Events:
On July 15, 2010, a court appointed receiver ("Receiver") assumed operational control of Valley View Center and responsibility for managing all aspects of the property. The Company anticipates the disposition of the asset, which is under the control of the Receiver, will be executed through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by some other means, and will be completed within the next twelve months. Although the Company is no longer funding any cash shortfall, it will continue to record the operations of the Valley View Center until the title for the Center has been transferred and its obligation for the loan has been discharged. Once title to the Center is transferred, the Company will remove the net assets and liabilities from the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The mortgage note payable on Valley View Center is non-recourse to the Company.
On July 30, 2010, the Company announced a dividend/distribution of $0.50 per share for common stockholders and OP Unit holders of record on August 20, 2010. All dividends/distributions will be paid 100% in cash on September 8, 2010.

Management's Overview and Summary
The Company is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers located throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2010, the Operating Partnership owned or had an ownership interest in 71 regional shopping centers and 14 community shopping centers totaling approximately 73 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA. These 85 regional and community shopping centers are referred to hereinafter as the "Centers," unless the context otherwise requires. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed REIT and conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Management Companies.
The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. It compares the results of
37
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and it compares the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Acquisitions and Dispositions:
In June 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.0 million, as it related to the anticipated loss on the sale of Village Center, a 170,801 square foot urban village property, in July 2009. The Company subsequently sold the property on July 14, 2009 for $11.9 million in total proceeds, resulting in a gain of $0.1 million related to a change in estimated transaction costs. The Company used the proceeds from the sale to pay down its term loan and for general corporate purposes.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company sold five non-core community centers for $71.3 million, resulting in aggregate loss on sales of $16.9 million. The Company used the proceeds from these sales to pay down the Company's line of credit and for general corporate purposes.
Mervyn's:
In December 2007, the Company purchased a portfolio of ground leasehold interest and/or fee interests in 39 freestanding Mervyn's stores located in the Southwest United States. In January 2008, the Company purchased a ground leasehold interest in a freestanding Mervyn's store located in Hayward, California and in February 2008, the Company purchased a fee simple interest in a freestanding Mervyn's store located in Monrovia, California. These former Mervyn's stores are referred to herein as the "Mervyn's Properties."
In July 2008, Mervyn's filed for bankruptcy protection and announced in October its plans to liquidate all merchandise, auction its store leases and wind down its business. The Company had 45 former Mervyn's stores in its portfolio. The Company owned the ground leasehold and/or fee simple interest in 44 of those stores and the remaining store was owned by a third party but was located at one of the Centers.
In December 2008, Kohl's and Forever 21 assumed a total of 23 of the Mervyn's leases and the remaining 22 leases were rejected by Mervyn's under the bankruptcy laws. In addition, on December 19, 2008, the Company sold a fee and/or ground leasehold interest in three former Mervyn's stores to Pacific Premier Retail Trust, one of its joint ventures, for $43.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $1.5 million.
In June 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $26.0 million, as it relates to the fee and/or ground leasehold interests in five former Mervyn's stores due to the anticipated loss on the sale of these properties in July 2009. The Company subsequently sold the properties in July 2009 for $52.7 million in total proceeds, resulting in an additional $0.5 million loss related to transaction costs. The Company used the proceeds from the sales to pay down the Company's term loan and for general corporate purposes.
On September 29, 2009, the Company sold a leasehold interest in a former Mervyn's store for $4.5 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $4.1 million. The Company used the proceeds from the sale to pay down the Company's line of credit and for general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2010, 14 former Mervyn's stores in the Company's portfolio remain vacant. The Company is currently seeking replacement tenants for these spaces.

Other Transactions:
On July 30, 2009, the Company sold a 49% ownership interest in Queens Center to a third party for approximately $152.7 million, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $154.2 million. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the ownership interest in the property to pay down the Company's term loan and for general corporate purposes. As of the date of the sale, the Company has accounted for the operations of Queens Center under the equity method of accounting.
On September 3, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture with a third party, whereby the Company sold a 75% interest in FlatIron Crossing and received approximately $123.8 million in cash proceeds for the overall transaction. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the ownership interest in the property to pay down the term loan and for general corporate purposes. As part of this transaction, the Company issued three warrants for an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock of the Company. (See Note 14Stockholders' Equity in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). As of the date of the sale, the Company has accounted for the operations of FlatIron Crossing under the equity method of accounting.
Queens Center and FlatIron Crossing are referred to herein as the "Joint Venture Centers."
On September 30, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture with a third party, whereby the third party acquired a 49.9% interest in Freehold Raceway Mall and Chandler Fashion Center. The Company received approximately $174.6 million in cash proceeds for the overall transaction. The Company used the proceeds from this transaction to pay down the Company's line of credit and for general corporate purposes. As part of this transaction, the Company issued a warrant for an aggregate of 935,358 shares of common stock of the Company. (See Note 14Stockholders' Equity in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The transaction has been accounted for as a profit-sharing arrangement, and accordingly the assets, liabilities and operations of the properties remain on the books of the Company and a co-venture obligation was established for the net cash proceeds received from the third party less costs allocated to the warrant.
Redevelopment and Development Activity:
Northgate Mall, the Company's 712,771 square foot regional mall in Marin County, California, opened the first phase of its redevelopment on November 12, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has incurred approximately $75.6 million of redevelopment costs for this Center and is estimating it will incur approximately $3.4 million of additional costs during the remainder of the year.
Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, California is scheduled to open in August 2010 and the project will include anchors Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has incurred approximately $221.7 million of redevelopment costs for this Center and is estimating it will incur approximately $43.3 million of additional costs during the remainder of the year.
Inflation:
In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of a relatively low inflation rate. Most of the leases at the Centers have rent adjustments periodically through the lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or based on using an annual multiple of increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). In addition, about 6% to 13% of the leases expire each year, which enables the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rents if the rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Historically the majority of the leases also required the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses. In January 2005, the Company began entering into leases that require tenants to pay a stated amount for operating expenses, generally excluding property taxes, regardless of the expenses actually incurred at any Center. This change shifts the burden of cost control to the Company.
39
Seasonality:
The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the fourth quarter during the holiday season when retailer occupancy and retail sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve a substantial portion of their specialty (temporary retailer) rents during the holiday season and the majority of percentage rent is recognized in the fourth quarter. As a result of the above, earnings are generally higher in the fourth quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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.
Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, and estimates for environmental matters. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the following describes the policies that are deemed to be critical and the significant judgements and uncertainties affecting application of these policies.
Revenue Recognition:
Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The difference between the amount of rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the "straight line rent adjustment." Currently, 57% of the mall and freestanding leases contain provisions for CPI rent increases periodically throughout the term of the lease. The Company believes that using an annual multiple of CPI increases, rather than fixed contractual rent increases, results in revenue recognition that more closely matches the cash revenue from each lease and will provide more consistent rent growth throughout the term of the leases. Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants' specified sales targets have been met. Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries' revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.
Property:
The Company capitalizes costs incurred in redevelopment and development of properties. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized costs are allocated to the specific components of a project that are benefited. The Company considers a construction project as completed and held available for occupancy and ceases capitalization of costs when the areas under development have been substantially completed.
Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which includes HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc., are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.
40
Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements |
5 - 40 years | |
Tenant improvements |
5 - 7 years | |
Equipment and furnishings |
5 - 7 years |
Accounting for Acquisitions:
The Company first determines the value of land and buildings utilizing an "as if vacant" methodology. The Company then assigns a fair value to any debt assumed at acquisition. The balance of the purchase price is allocated to tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair market value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under property and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (i) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with "cost avoidance" of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in the Company's markets; (ii) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the "assumed vacant" property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (iii) above or below market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. Leasing commissions and legal costs are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus an estimate of renewal of the acquired leases. Above or below market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market, and the asset or liability is amortized to minimum rents over the remaining terms of the leases.
Asset Impairment:
The Company assesses whether there has been impairment in the value of its long-lived assets by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenant's ability to perform its duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The Company may recognize impairment losses if the cash flows are not sufficient to cover its investment. Such a loss would be determined as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of a center.
The Company reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for a series of operating losses and other factors that may indicate that a decrease in the value of its investments has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The investment in each unconsolidated joint venture is evaluated periodically, and as deemed necessary, for recoverability and valuation declines that are other than temporary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions.
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in
41
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made.
Deferred Charges:
Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. As these deferred leasing costs represent productive assets incurred in connection with the Company's provision of leasing arrangements at the Centers, the related cash flows are classified as investing activities within the Company's Statements of Cash Flows. Costs relating to financing of shopping center properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In-place lease values are amortized over the remaining lease term plus an estimate of the renewal term. Leasing commissions and legal costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the individual remaining lease years. The ranges of the terms of the agreements are as follows:
Deferred lease costs |
1 - 15 years | |
Deferred financing costs |
1 - 15 years | |
In-place lease values |
Remaining lease term plus an estimate for renewal | |
Leasing commissions and legal costs |
5 - 10 years |
Results of Operations
Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred due to the transactions described above, including the Mervyn's Properties, the Redevelopment Centers and the Joint Venture Centers. The "Same Centers" include all consolidated Centers, excluding the Mervyn's Properties, the Joint Venture Centers and the Redevelopment Centers.
The "Redevelopment Centers" include Northgate Mall, Santa Monica Place and Shoppingtown Mall.
Unconsolidated joint ventures are reflected using the equity method of accounting. The Company's pro rata share of the results from these Centers is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures.
The U.S. economy, real estate industry as a whole, and the local markets in which the Centers are located have in recent years experienced adverse economic conditions, resulting in an economic recession as well as disruptions in the capital and credit markets. These difficult economic conditions have adversely impacted consumer spending levels and the operating results of the Company's tenants. The Company's ability to lease space and negotiate rents at advantageous rates has been, and may
42
continue to be, adversely affected in this type of economic environment, and more tenants may seek rent relief. While recent economic data has shown signs of improvement in the retail industry, the Company cannot predict if this trend will continue. If this positive trend does not continue, any further continuation of these adverse conditions could harm the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenues:
Minimum and percentage rents (collectively referred to as "rental revenue") decreased by $17.6 million, or 14.3%, from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in rental revenue is attributed to a decrease of $19.6 million from the Joint Venture Centers offset in part by an increase of $1.2 million from the Redevelopment Centers, $0.5 million from the Same Centers and $0.3 million from the Mervyn's Properties.
Rental revenue includes the amortization of above and below-market leases, the amortization of straight-line rents and lease termination income. The amortization of above and below-market leases decreased from $2.7 million in 2009 to $2.1 million in 2010. The amortization of straight-lined rents decreased from $2.5 million in 2009 to $1.1 million in 2010. Lease termination income increased from $0.9 million in 2009 to $1.1 million in 2010.
Tenant recoveries decreased $4.5 million, or 7.3%, from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in tenant recoveries is attributed to a decrease of $7.9 million from the Joint Venture Centers offset in part by an increase of $2.3 million from the Same Centers and $1.1 million from the Redevelopment Centers.
Shopping Center and Operating Expenses:
Shopping center and operating expenses decreased $9.2 million, or 14.0%, from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in shopping center and operating expenses is attributed to a decrease of $9.8 million from the Joint Venture Centers and $1.2 million from the Mervyn's Properties offset in part by an increase of $1.4 million from the Same Centers and $0.4 million from the Redevelopment Centers.
Management Companies' Operating Expenses:
Management Companies' operating expenses increased $5.6 million from 2009 to 2010 due to an increase in compensation costs in 2010.
REIT General and Administrative Expenses:
REIT general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million from 2009 to 2010. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in compensation costs.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization decreased $2.4 million from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributed to a decrease of $5.2 million from the Joint Venture Centers and $0.2 million from the Mervyn's Properties offset in part by an increase of $2.0 million from the Same Centers and $0.7 million from the Redevelopment Centers.
Interest Expense:
Interest expense decreased $19.7 million from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to a decrease of $8.4 million from the Joint Venture Centers, $7.2 million from a former term loan and $4.1 million from borrowings under the Company's line of credit.
43
The above interest expense items are net of capitalized interest, which increased from $4.8 million in 2009 to $8.3 million in 2010 which was primarily attributed to an increase in the cost of borrowing.
(Loss) Gain on Early Extinguishment of Debt:
The Company recorded a loss of $0.5 million on the early extinguishment of $18.5 million of the Senior Notes in 2010 and a gain of $7.1 million on the early extinguishment of $27.5 million of the Senior Notes in 2009. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources). The change from a gain to a loss is primarily attributed to the increase in the market price for the Senior Notes.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $1.2 million from 2009 to 2010.
Discontinued Operations:
Loss from discontinued operations decreased from $26.3 million in 2009 to $0.1 million in 2010. The decrease in loss is primarily attributed to an impairment charge of $27.0 million recorded on five former Mervyn's stores in 2009.
Net Income (loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests:
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests increased from a net loss of $2.6 million in 2009 to net income of $0.5 million in 2010. This increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily due to an increase in net income in 2010.
Funds From Operations ("FFO"):
Primarily as a result of the factors mentioned above, FFOdiluted increased 29.3% from $59.9 million in 2009 to $77.5 million in 2010. For disclosure of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the periods and a reconciliation of FFO and FFOdiluted to net income available to common stockholders, see "Funds from Operations."
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenues:
Rental revenue decreased by $38.7 million, or 15.5%, from 2009 to 2010.

Rental revenue includes the amortization of above and below-market leases, the amortization of straight-line rents and lease termination income. The amortization of above and below-market leases decreased from $5.8 million in 2009 to $4.0 million in 2010. The amortization of straight-lined rents decreased from $4.4 million in 2009 to $1.5 million in 2010. Lease termination income decreased from $2.0 million in 2009 to $1.7 million in 2010.
Tenant recoveries decreased $7.6 million, or 6.0%, from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in tenant recoveries is attributed to a decrease of $17.6 million from the Joint Venture Centers offset in part by an increase of $7.9 million from the Same Centers, $1.8 million from the Redevelopment Centers and $0.3 million from the Mervyn's Properties.
Shopping Center and Operating Expenses:
Shopping center and operating expenses decreased $17.8 million, or 13.2%, from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in shopping center and operating expenses is attributed to a decrease of $20.8 million
44
from the Joint Venture Centers and $1.0 million from the Mervyn's Properties offset in part by an increase of $3.1 million from the Same Centers and $0.9 million from the Redevelopment Centers.
Management Companies' Operating Expenses:
Management Companies' operating expenses increased $4.4 million from 2009 to 2010 due to an increase in compensation costs in 2010 offset in part by severance costs paid in connection with the implementation of the Company's workforce reduction plan in 2009.
REIT General and Administrative Expenses:
REIT general and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million from 2009 to 2010. The increase is primarily due to additional compensation costs.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization decreased $6.6 million from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributed to a decrease of $10.3 million from the Joint Venture Centers and $0.3 million from the Mervyn's Properties offset in part by an increase of $2.3 million from the Same Centers and $1.6 million from Redevelopment Centers.
Interest Expense:
Interest expense decreased $34.2 million from 2009 to 2010. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to a decrease of $16.3 million from the Joint Venture Centers, $14.2 million from a term loan, $5.9 million from borrowings under the Company's line of credit, $4.3 million from the Redevelopment Centers and $2.0 million from the Senior Notes offset in part by an increase of $8.5 million from the Same Centers.
The above interest expense items are net of capitalized interest, which increased from $9.8 million in 2009 to $16.5 million in 2010 due to an increase in the cost of borrowing.
(Loss) Gain on Early Extinguishment of Debt:
The Company recorded a loss of $0.5 million on the early extinguishment of $18.5 million of the Senior Notes in 2010 and gain of $29.6 million on the early extinguishment of $84.3 million of the Senior Notes in 2009. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources). The change from a gain to a loss is primarily attributed to the increase in market price for the Senior Notes.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $1.7 million from 2009 to 2010.
Discontinued Operations:
Loss from discontinued operations decreased from $24.1 million in 2009 to $0.2 million in 2010. The decrease in loss is primarily attributed to an impairment charge of $27.0 recorded on five former Mervyn's stores in 2009.
Funds From Operations:
Primarily as a result of the factors mentioned above, FFOdiluted decreased 8.4% from $162.8 million in 2009 to $149.1 million in 2010. For disclosure of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the periods and a reconciliation of FFO and FFOdiluted to net income available to common stockholders, see "Funds from Operations."
45
Operating Activities:
Cash provided by operations increased from $65.8 million in 2009 to $72.8 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities changes, a decrease in assets and liabilities and the results at the Centers as discussed above.
Investing Activities:
Cash used in investing activities decreased from $36.2 million in 2009 to $23.8 million in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $36.2 million and a decrease in capital expenditures of $31.0 million.
The decrease in distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily due to the receipt of the Company's pro rata share of proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage loan on a property in the Pacific Premier Retail Trust joint venture portfolio in 2009.
Financing Activities:
Cash from financing activities increased from a deficit of $38.2 million in 2009 to a surplus of $454.4 million in 2010.
The increase was primarily attributed to the net proceeds from the stock offering of $1.2 billion in 2010 (See Liquidity and Capital Resources) and an increase in proceeds from the mortgages, bank and other notes payable of $107.2 million offset in part in payments on mortgages, bank and other notes payable of $839.3 million in 2010 that was funded from the proceeds of the stock offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company anticipates meeting its liquidity needs for its operating expenses and debt service and dividend requirements through cash generated from operations, working capital reserves and/or borrowings under its unsecured line of credit. The completion of the Company's stock offering in April 2010, which raised net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion, provided the Company with additional liquidity.
The following tables summarize capital expenditures incurred at the Centers:

Management expects amounts to be incurred in future years for tenant allowances and deferred leasing charges to be comparable or less than 2010 and that capital for those expenditures will be available from working capital, cash flow from operations, borrowings on property specific debt or unsecured corporate borrowings. The Company expects to incur between $150 million and $200 million for the remainder of 2010 for development, redevelopment, expansion and renovations. Capital for these major expenditures, developments and/or redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be, obtained from a combination of equity or debt financings, which include borrowings under the Company's line of credit and construction loans. In addition to the Company's April 2010 equity offering, the Company has also generated additional liquidity in the past through joint venture transactions and the sale of non-core assets, and may continue to do so in the future.
The capital and credit markets can fluctuate, and at times, limit access to debt and equity financing for many companies. As demonstrated by the Company's recent activity, including its April 2010 equity offering, the Company was able to access capital; however, there is no assurance the Company will be able to do so in future periods or on similar terms and conditions. Many factors impact the Company's ability to access capital, such as its overall debt level, interest rates, interest coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions. In the event that the Company has significant tenant defaults as a result of the overall economy and general market conditions, the Company could have a decrease in cash flow from operations, which could create borrowings under its line of credit. These events could result in an increase in the Company's proportion of variable-rate debt, which would cause it to be subject to interest rate fluctuations in the future.
On April 20, 2010, the Company completed an offering of 30,000,000 newly issued shares of its common stock and on April 23, 2010 issued an additional 1,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock in connection with the underwriters' exercise of its over-allotment option. The net proceeds of the offering, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of all 31,000,000 shares of common stock at an initial price to the public of $41.00 per share, were approximately $1.2 billion after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other transaction costs. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering to pay down its line of credit in full and reduce certain property indebtedness. The Company plans to use the remaining cash for debt repayments or general corporate purposes.
The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at June 30, 2010 was $6.1 billion (including $601.7 million of unsecured debt and $2.2 billion of its pro rata share of joint venture debt). The majority of the Company's debt consists of fixed-rate conventional mortgages payable collateralized by individual properties. The Company expects that all debt maturities during the next twelve months will be refinanced, extended and/or paid off from the Company's line of credit or cash on hand.
On March 16, 2007, the Company issued $950 million in Senior Notes that mature on March 15, 2012. The Senior Notes bear interest at 3.25%, payable semiannually, are senior to unsecured debt of the Company and are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. On April 19, 2010, the Company repurchased and retired $18.5 million of the Senior Notes for $18.2 million. The repurchase was funded by the net proceeds of the stock offering. The carrying value of the Senior Notes at June 30, 2010 was $601.7 million. See Note 11Bank and Other Notes Payable in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has a $1.5 billion revolving line of credit that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.10% depending on the Company's overall leverage that was scheduled to mature on April 25, 2010. On April 25, 2010, the Company extended the maturity date to April 25, 2011. On April 20, 2010, the Company paid off the balance of the line of credit from the net proceeds of the stock offering. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has access to the entire balance of its $1.5 billion line of credit.
Dividends and distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $81.9 million. A total of $72.8 million was funded by cash flows provided by operations. The remaining $9.1 million was funded
47
through distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures which are included in the cash flows from investing activities section of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
At June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants under its debt agreements.
At June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents available of $596.7 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
The Company has an ownership interest in a number of unconsolidated joint ventures as detailed in Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. The Company accounts for those investments that it does not have a controlling interest or is not the primary beneficiary using the equity method of accounting and those investments are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company as "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures."
In addition, certain joint ventures also have debt that could become recourse debt to the Company or its subsidiaries, in excess of the Company's pro rata share, should the joint ventures be unable to discharge the obligations of the related debt.
The following reflects the maximum amount of debt principal that could recourse to the Company at June 30, 2010 (in thousands):

Funds From Operations
The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFOdiluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
FFO and FFO on a fully-diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. The Company believes that such a presentation also provides investors with a more meaningful measure of its operating results in comparison to the operating results of other REITs. Further, FFO on a fully diluted basis is one of the measures investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities.
FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The Company also cautions that FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. The reconciliation of FFO and FFOdiluted to net income available to common stockholders is provided below.
Management compensates for the limitations of FFO by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of FFO and a reconciliation of FFO and FFO-diluted to net income (loss) available to common stockholders. Management believes that to further understand the Company's performance, FFO should be compared with the Company's reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company has managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by (1) maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level, (2) reducing interest rate exposure on certain long-term floating rate debt through the use of interest rate caps and/or swaps with appropriately matching maturities, (3) using treasury rate locks where appropriate to fix rates on anticipated debt transactions, and (4) taking advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.
The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2010 concerning the Company's long term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value ("FV") (dollars in thousands):

Interest rate cap agreements ("Cap") offer protection against floating rates on the notional amount from exceeding the rates noted in the above schedule, and interest rate swap agreements ("Swap") effectively replace a floating rate on the notional amount with a fixed rate as noted above.
In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its floating rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $10.9 million per year based on $1.1 billion outstanding of floating rate debt at June 30, 2010.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on discounted cash flows at interest rates that management believes reflect the risks associated with long-term debt of similar risk and duration.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2010, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company set forth under the caption "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
