NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the Company’s (as defined below) audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (Commission File No. 1-11656), as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the 2005 annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been omitted from this report. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Quarterly Report have the same meanings as in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
General
General Growth Properties, Inc. (“General Growth”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a “REIT.” General Growth was organized in 1986 and through its subsidiaries and affiliates owns, operates, manages, leases, acquires, develops, expands and finances operating properties located primarily throughout the United States. General Growth also develops and sells land for residential, commercial and other uses, primarily in master planned communities. The operating properties consist of retail centers, office and industrial buildings and mixed-use and other properties. Land development and sales operations are predominantly related to large-scale, long-term community development projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas. In these notes, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to General Growth and its subsidiaries (the “Company”).
Substantially all of our business is conducted through GGP Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” or “GGPLP”). As of September 30, 2006, ownership of the Operating Partnership was as follows:
         
  82 %  
General Growth, as sole general partner
       
 
  16    
Limited partners that indirectly include family members of the original stockholders of the Company. Represented by common units of limited partnership interest (the “Common Units”)
       
 
  2    
Limited partners that include subsequent contributors of properties to the Operating Partnership which are also represented by Common Units.
       
 
  100 %  
 
       
 
The Operating Partnership also has preferred units of limited partnership interest (the “Preferred Units”) outstanding. Under certain circumstances, the Preferred Units are convertible into Common Units which are redeemable for shares of General Growth common stock on a one-for-one basis.
In addition to holding ownership interests in various joint ventures, the Operating Partnership generally conducts its operations through the following subsidiaries:
  GGPLP L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”), has ownership interests in the majority of our properties (other than those acquired in The Rouse Company merger (the “TRC Merger”).
  The Rouse Company LP (“TRCLP”), successor to The Rouse Company (“TRC”), which includes both REIT and taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), has ownership interests in Consolidated Properties and Unconsolidated Properties (each as defined below).

•    General Growth Management, Inc. (“GGMI”), a TRS, manages, leases, and performs various other services for some of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (as defined below) and, as of September 30, 2006, approximately 30 properties owned by unaffiliated third parties. Effective July 1, 2006, GGMI also performs marketing and strategic partnership services for all of our Consolidated Properties.
In this report, we refer to our ownership interests in majority-owned or controlled properties as “Consolidated Properties”, to joint ventures in which we own a non-controlling interest as “Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates” and the properties owned by such joint ventures as the “Unconsolidated Properties.” Our “Company Portfolio” includes both our Consolidated Properties and our Unconsolidated Properties.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of General Growth, our subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of operations (generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage) is included in Minority Interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise noted) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The results for the interim periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

Diluted EPS excludes options where the exercise price was higher than the average market price of our common stock and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive and options for which the conditions which must be satisfied prior to the issuance of any such shares were not achieved. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the three months ended September 30, 2005, all outstanding options are anti-dilutive as we reported losses. Such excluded options totaled 4.1 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, 2.0 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 1.0 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Outstanding Common Units have also been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because there would be no effect on EPS as the minority interests’ share of income would also be added back to net income.
Revenue Recognition and Related Matters
Straight-line rents receivable, which represent the current net cumulative rents recognized prior to when billed and collectible as provided by the terms of the leases, of $162.0 million as of September 30, 2006 and $123.5 million as of December 31, 2005 are included in accounts receivable, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Minimum rent revenues also include amounts collected from tenants to allow the termination of their leases prior to their scheduled termination dates and accretion of above and below-market leases on acquired properties.

Management fees primarily represent management and leasing fees, financing fees and fees for other ancillary services performed for the benefit of certain of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and for properties owned by third parties. Fees charged to the Unconsolidated Properties totaled approximately $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, $75.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Such fees are recognized as revenue when earned.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share–Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair

Table of Contents

value of share–based payment awards on the date of grant using an option–pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock–Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) which we adopted in the second quarter of 2002. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).
We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, our Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Because we had previously adopted SFAS 123, the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) was not significant to our Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Under SFAS 123, we did not estimate forfeitures for options issued pursuant to our Incentive Stock Plans. The cumulative effect of estimating forfeitures for these plans decreased compensation expense by approximately $150 thousand and has been reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 in the second quarter of 2002, we accounted for stock–based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under SFAS 123. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is recognized for common stock awards or stock options only if the quoted market price of the stock as of the grant date (or other measurement date, if later) is greater than the amount the grantee must pay to acquire the stock. Because the exercise price of stock options and the fair value of restricted stock grants equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, no compensation expense related to grants issued under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan was recognized. As a result of the cash settlement option available for threshold–vesting stock options (“TSOs”) issued prior to 2004, compensation expense equal to the change in the market price of our stock at the end of each reporting period continues to be recognized for all such unexercised TSOs.
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share–Based Payment Awards.” The transition methods include procedures to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid–in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock–based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock–based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). Although we must adopt a transition method by January 1, 2007, we are still assessing the impact of such adoption.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred taxes, initial valuations and related amortization

Table of Contents

periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions, and cost ratios and completion percentages used for land sales. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications and Corrections
Certain amounts in the 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements, including discontinued operations (Note 6), have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During the first quarter of 2006, we made a correction to the purchase price allocation of TRCLP that was recorded in our 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements. Such correction reduced deferred tax liabilities by approximately $58.7 million with a corresponding reduction to goodwill and had no impact on earnings or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, we reclassified approximately $65 million of below-market ground leases to owned land in the second quarter of 2006. This amount had previously been included in prepaid expenses and other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This reclassification had no impact on the recorded goodwill in the acquisition. As a result of this change and the corresponding revision of previously recorded amortization, there was a decrease in other property operating costs of $1.9 million and an increase in net income of $1.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, we also corrected the amortization period used to amortize the tenant-related intangible assets and liabilities at one of the properties acquired in the TRC Merger. This correction increased depreciation and amortization by $2.4 million and decreased net income by $2.0 million. We believe that the effects of these changes are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amortization/accretion of these intangible assets and liabilities, and similar assets and liabilities from our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, decreased operating income by approximately $26.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, $52.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, $87.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $117.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Future amortization/accretion, including our share of such items from Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, is estimated to decrease annual operating income by approximately $120 million in 2006 and 2007, $90 million in 2008, $60 million in 2009, and $40 million in 2010.
NOTE 3 INVESTMENTS IN AND LOANS TO/FROM UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE AFFILIATES
The Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates constitute our non-controlling investment in real estate joint ventures that own and/or develop shopping centers and other retail and investment property. Generally, we share in the profits and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to our investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. We manage most of the properties owned by these joint ventures. Some of the joint ventures have elected to be taxed as REITs. Since we have joint interest and control of the Unconsolidated Properties with our venture partners, we account for these joint ventures using the equity method.
In certain circumstances, we are obligated (or can elect) to fund debt in excess of our pro rata share of the debt of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. Such Retained Debt totaled $170.7 million as of September 30, 2006 and $302.7 million as of December 31, 2005, and has been reflected as a reduction of our Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates.
The significant accounting policies used by the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates are the same as ours.
On April 6, 2006, we acquired our joint venture partner’s 49% interest in GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc., which owns Eastridge Mall, for approximately $115 million, which was paid with a 5.95% fixed-rate note. This note was repaid, prior to its scheduled maturity of September 2006, in August 2006 in conjunction with the refinancing of the entire property, with a $170 million, 5.79% fixed-rate mortgage note due in 2011. As of April 6, 2006, GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. has been consolidated for accounting purposes.

The weighted-average annual interest rate (including the effects of swaps and excluding the effects of deferred finance costs) on our mortgage notes and other property debt payable was 5.71% at September 30, 2006, 5.64% at December 31, 2005 and 5.49% at September 30, 2005.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities
In November 1997 (refinanced in November 2004), the Operating Partnership and GGP Ivanhoe I completed the placement of fixed-rate non-recourse commercial mortgage backed securities (the “CMBS 13”). The commercial mortgage-backed securities have cross-default provisions and are cross-collateralized. Under certain cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage note included in a cross-defaulted package may constitute a default under all such mortgage notes in the package and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each property within the collateral package. In general, the cross-defaulted properties are under common ownership, however, $138.6 million of unconsolidated debt at two Unconsolidated Properties is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized by $868.8 million of consolidated debt at eleven Consolidated Properties. As of September 30, 2006, the weighted-average interest rate on the CMBS 13 was 5.40% (range of 4.20% to 6.71%).
In December 2001, the Operating Partnership and certain Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates completed the placement of non-recourse commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (the “GGP MPTC”). The principal amount of the GGP MPTC was attributed to the Operating Partnership, GGP/Homart, GGP/Homart II, GGP Ivanhoe III and GGP Ivanhoe IV. As discussed below, the GGP MPTC was repaid in the third quarter of 2006.
Other Collateralized Mortgage Notes and Other Property Debt Payable
Collateralized mortgage notes and other property debt payable consist primarily of non-recourse notes collateralized by individual properties and equipment. Substantially all of the mortgage notes are non-recourse to us. Certain mortgage notes payable may be prepaid but are generally subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield-maintenance premium or a percentage of the loan balance.
The fixed-rate collateralized mortgage notes and other property debt payable bear interest ranging from 3.17% to 11.55%. The variable-rate collateralized mortgage notes and other property debt payable bear interest at LIBOR (5.33% at September 30, 2006) plus 125 to 190 basis points.
Corporate and Other Unsecured Term Loans
In February 2006, we entered into several debt agreements. The proceeds of these transactions were used to reduce the approximately $5.3 billion outstanding under the 2004 Credit Facility, which was entered into to fund the cash portion of the TRC Merger consideration and, with other cash and financing sources, fund other costs of the merger transaction.
On February 24, 2006, we amended the 2004 Credit Facility and entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2006 Credit Facility”). The 2006 Credit Facility provides for a $2.85 billion term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $650 million revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2006, $479.6 million is available to be drawn on the revolving credit facility.
The 2006 Credit Facility has a four year term, with a one year extension option. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.15% to LIBOR plus 1.5%, depending on our leverage ratio and assuming we maintain our election to have these loans designated as Eurodollar loans. The interest rate, as of September 30, 2006, was LIBOR plus 1.25%. Quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan of $12.5 million begin March 31, 2007, with the balance due at maturity.

Under the terms of the 2006 Credit Facility, we are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants as we were under the 2004 Credit Facility. If a default occurs, the lenders will have the option of declaring all outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. Events of default include a failure to maintain our REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code, a failure to remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange and such customary events as nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, breach of representations and warranties, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness and certain bankruptcy events.
Concurrently with the 2006 Credit Facility transaction and as described below, we also entered into a $1.4 billion term loan (the “Short Term Loan”), we issued $200 million of trust preferred securities (the “TRUPS”) through GGP Capital Trust I and TRCLP entered into a $500 million term loan (the “Bridge Loan”). All of these arrangements are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
On May 5, 2006 we fully repaid the Bridge Loan with a portion of the proceeds obtained from the sale of bonds issued by TRCLP. The Bridge Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.3% until May 24, 2006 and at LIBOR plus 1.55% thereafter and was scheduled to be due August 24, 2006. A total of $800 million of senior unsecured notes were issued by TRCLP, providing for semi-annual payments (commencing November 1, 2006) of interest only at a rate of 6.75% and payment of the principal in full on May 1, 2013.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we closed various refinancing transactions on our Consolidated and Unconsolidated Properties. The proceeds of these transactions were used to fully repay the GGP MPTC (which includes Ala Moana) and the $1.4 billion Short Term Loan. The financing (including our share of the Unconsolidated Properties), substantially all of which is individual non-recourse secured property level mortgage debt, has a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.7%, which is approximately 50 basis points lower than the weighted average rate on the previously outstanding debt that was repaid as a result of these transactions. The refinancing also converted approximately $2 billion of Consolidated and $360 million of Unconsolidated (at our ownership share) variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.
As mentioned above, GGP Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGPLP, completed a private placement of $200 million of TRUPS. The Trust also issued $6.2 million of Common Securities to GGPLP. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the TRUPS and Common Securities to purchase $206.2 million of floating rate Junior Subordinated Notes of GGPLP due 2036. The TRUPS require distributions equal to LIBOR plus 1.45%. Distributions are cumulative and accrue from the date of original issuance. The TRUPS mature on April 30, 2036, but may be redeemed beginning on April 30, 2011 if the Trust exercises its right to redeem a like amount of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45%. Though the Trust is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGPLP, we are not the primary beneficiary of the Trust and, accordingly, it is not consolidated for accounting purposes under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (as revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46R). As a result, we have recorded the Junior Subordinated Notes as “Mortgage Notes and Other Property Debt Payable” and our common equity interest in the Trust as “Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2006.
Unsecured Term Loans
In conjunction with the TRC Merger, we assumed certain publicly-traded unsecured debt which included 8.78% and 8.44% Notes due 2007, 3.625% Notes and 8% Notes due 2009, 7.2% Notes due 2012 and 5.375% Notes due 2013. Such debt totaled $1.5 billion at both September 30, 2006 and December 31,

2005. Under the terms of the Indenture dated as of February 24, 1995, as long as these notes are outstanding, TRCLP is required to file with the SEC the annual and quarterly reports and other documents which TRCLP would be required to file if it was subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, regardless of whether TRCLP was subject to such requirements. TRCLP is no longer required to file reports or other documents with the SEC under Section 13(a) or 15(d). Accordingly, in lieu of such filing, certain financial and other information related to TRCLP has been included in Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that such TRCLP information is responsive to the terms of the Indenture and that any additional information needed or actions required can be supplied or addressed.
In conjunction with our acquisition of JP Realty in 2002, we assumed $100 million of ten-year senior unsecured notes which bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.29% and were issued in March 1998. The notes require semi-annual interest payments. Annual principal payments of $25 million began in March 2005 and continue until the loan is fully repaid in March 2008.
Interest Rate Swaps
To achieve a more desirable balance between fixed and variable-rate debt, we have also entered into certain swap agreements as follows:
                 
    2006 Credit   Property
    Agreement   Specific
Total notional amount (in millions)
  $ 425.0     $ 195.0  
Average fixed pay rate
    3.64 %     4.78 %
Average variable receive rate
  LIBOR   LIBOR
Such swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and are intended to hedge our exposure to future interest charges on the related variable-rate debt.
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $220 million as of September 30, 2006 and approximately $210 million as of December 31, 2005. These letters of credit and bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments and construction obligations.
NOTE 5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
We lease land or buildings at certain properties from third parties. Consolidated rental expense, including participation rent and excluding amortization of above and below market ground leases and straight-line rents, related to these leases was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The leases generally provide for a right of first refusal in our favor in the event of a proposed sale of the property by the landlord.

We periodically enter into contingent agreements for the acquisition of properties. Each acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and, in the case of property acquired under development, completion of the project.
TRC acquired various assets, including Summerlin, a master planned community in suburban Las Vegas, Nevada, in the acquisition of The Hughes Corporation (“Hughes”) in 1996. In connection with the acquisition of Hughes, TRC entered into a Contingent Stock Agreement (“CSA”) for the benefit of the former Hughes owners or their successors (“beneficiaries”). Under the terms of the CSA, shares of TRC common stock were issuable to the beneficiaries based on the appraised values of defined asset groups, including Summerlin, at specified termination dates through 2009 and/or cash flows from the development and/or sale of those assets prior to the termination dates.
We assumed TRC’s obligation under the CSA to issue shares of common stock twice a year to beneficiaries under the CSA. The amount of shares is based upon a formula set forth under the CSA and upon our stock price. Such issuances could be dilutive to our existing stockholders if the delivery option is satisfied by the issuance of new shares rather than from treasury stock or shares purchased on the open market. In addition, under the assumption agreement, we agreed that following the effective time of the TRC Merger there would not be a prejudicial effect on the beneficiaries under the CSA with respect to their receipt of securities pursuant to the CSA as a result of the TRC Merger. We further agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the beneficiaries against losses arising out of any breach by us of the foregoing covenants.
We account for the beneficiaries’ share of earnings from the assets as an operating expense. We will account for any distributions to the beneficiaries in 2009, which are likely to be significant, in connection with a valuation related to assets that we own as of such date as additional investments in the related assets (that is, contingent consideration). Pursuant to the CSA, we delivered shares of our common stock to the beneficiaries totaling 1,059,191 shares (all from treasury shares) in August 2006 and 755,828 shares in February 2006 (including 668,333 treasury shares).
Two of our operating retail properties (Oakwood Center in Gretna, Louisiana and Riverwalk Marketplace, located near the convention center in downtown New Orleans) continue to have unrepaired damage and tenant vacancies which arose concurrently with hurricane damage in the New Orleans area in September 2005. Riverwalk Marketplace partially reopened in November 2005 and Oakwood Center is not scheduled to substantially reopen until October 2007. We have comprehensive insurance coverage for both property damage and business interruption and, therefore, have recorded insurance recovery receivables for both of these coverages. The net book value of the property damage at these properties is currently estimated to be approximately $37 million; however, we are still assessing the damage estimates, including discussions with representatives of our insurance carriers regarding the scope of repair, cleaning, and replacement required, and the actual net book value write-off could vary from this estimate. Changes to these estimates have been and will be recorded in the periods in which they are determined. During 2005, we recorded a net fixed asset write-off and a corresponding insurance claim recovery receivable for the initial internal estimate of the damage amount, both of which have subsequently been revised (primarily due to reductions in the degree of replacements versus clean and repair work anticipated) to the approximately $37 million in property damage currently estimated as of September 30, 2006. While we believe it is probable that the insurance proceeds will be sufficient to cover the cost of restoring the property damage at the properties and certain business interruption amounts, certain deductibles, limitations and exclusions are expected to apply with respect to both current and future matters. No determination has been made as to the total amount or timing of those insurance payments. However, as of the date of this report, an aggregate of $32.2 million in insurance proceeds related to property damage and business interruption at these properties have been received, which has been applied against insurance recovery receivables. In addition, as certain disputes currently exist or may occur in the future with our insurance carriers, we have initiated litigation to preserve our rights

concerning our claims. Finally, as of September 30, 2006, the majority of the remaining amounts receivable related to these properties represents the recovery of the net book value of fixed assets written off.
NOTE 6 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND GAINS ON DISPOSITIONS OF INTERESTS IN OPERATING PROPERTIES
On December 21, 2005, as approved in December 2005 by our Board of Directors, we sold seven buildings totaling approximately 705,000 square feet located in the Hunt Valley Business Community in Hunt Valley, Maryland and 14 office buildings totaling approximately 402,000 square feet in the Rutherford Business Center, Woodlawn, Maryland. These 21 properties in Baltimore County were sold at an aggregate sale price of approximately $124.5 million, which was paid in cash at closing. We recognized approximately $4.9 million in gain, before minority interest, on the disposition of these office properties.
On December 23, 2005, as approved in December 2005 by our Board of Directors, we sold a sixteen building, 952,000 square foot portfolio of industrial buildings for approximately $57 million, which was paid in cash at closing. The portfolio is comprised of 10 buildings totaling 582,000 square feet in the Hunt Valley Business Community and six buildings totaling 370,000 square feet in the Rutherford Business Center in suburban Baltimore. The portfolio also included three land parcels totaling more than 18 acres. We recognized gain of approximately $1.4 million, before minority interest, on the disposition of these industrial properties.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the operations of these properties (net of minority interests) have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenues and income before minority interest of such properties were as follows:

NOTE 8 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1N, “Financial Statements — Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 addresses how a registrant should quantify the effect of an error on the financial statements. The SEC staff concludes in SAB 108 that a dual approach should be used to compute the amount of a misstatement. Specifically, the amount should be computed using both the “rollover” (current year income statement perspective) and “iron curtain” (year-end balance sheet perspective) methods. We have considered SAB 108 in evaluating errors in our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R)” (“SFAS 158”) which requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. Specifically, SFAS 158 requires an employer to:

23


Table of Contents

  (a)   Recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status
 
  (b)   Measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions)
 
  (c)   Recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income of a business entity.
The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 158 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as our defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans are not material.
In September 2006, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also requires expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that we recognize in our Consolidated Financial Statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements of adopting FIN 48.
In October 2005, the FASB Issued Staff Position No. FAS 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period” (“FSP 13-1”). This FSP requires that rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases incurred during a construction period be recognized as rental expense. However, FSP 13-1 does not address lessees that account for the sale or rental of real estate projects under FASB Statement No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects.” As we generally own, rather than lease, property upon which we construct new real estate ventures and our policy would be to capitalize rental costs associated with ground leases incurred during construction periods under Statement No. 67, FSP 13-1 did not have a material effect on our results of operations when we adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2006.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF 04-05, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor Is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-05”) which provides guidance on when a sole general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. A sole general partner in a limited partnership is presumed to control that limited partnership and therefore should include the limited partnership in its consolidated financial statements, regardless of the sole general partner’s ownership interest in the limited

24


Table of Contents

partnership. The control presumption may be overcome if the limited partners have the ability to remove the sole general partner or otherwise dissolve the limited partnership. Other substantive participating rights by the limited partners may also overcome the control presumption. This consensus is effective for general partners of all newly formed limited partnerships and existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified. For general partners in all other limited partnerships, this consensus was effective in the first quarter of 2006. On adoption, EITF 04-05 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” Among other changes, SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 also provides that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and that correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made subsequent to December 31, 2005.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” (“SFAS 150”) which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. The effective date of SFAS 150 relating to measurement and classification provisions has been indefinitely postponed by the FASB. We did not enter into new financial instruments subsequent to May 2003 which would fall within the scope of this statement. Certain ventures, acquired in the TRC Merger, have been identified that appear to meet the criteria for liability recognition in accordance with paragraphs 9 and 10 under SFAS 150 due to the indefinite life of the joint venture arrangements. Therefore, if the effectiveness of the measurement and classification provisions is no longer postponed, we would reclassify to liabilities approximately $15 million of minority interest with respect to such TRC Merger acquired ventures, but no amount for any of our other ventures.
NOTE 9 STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Incentive Stock Plans
We grant qualified and non-qualified stock options and make restricted stock grants to attract and retain officers and key employees through the 2003 Incentive Stock Plan and, prior to April 2003, the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock options are granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The terms of the options are fixed by the Compensation Committee. Stock options granted to officers and key employees under the 2003 Incentive Stock Plan are for 5-year terms and under the 1993 Incentive Stock Plan are for 10-year terms. Stock options generally vest 20% at the time of the grant and in 20% annual increments thereafter. Prior to May 2006, we granted options to non-employee directors that were exercisable in full commencing on the date of grant and scheduled to expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of the grant. Beginning in May 2006, non-employee directors receive restricted stock grants, as further described below. The 2003 Incentive Stock Plan provides for the issuance of up to 9.0 million shares of our common stock, subject to certain customary adjustments to prevent dilution.

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options as of September 30, 2006 represents the excess of our closing stock price ($47.65) over the exercise price multiplied by the applicable number of stock options. The intrinsic value of exercised stock options represents the excess of our stock price at the time the option was exercised over the exercise price and was $13.5 million for options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $10.3 million for options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
The weighted-average fair value of stock options as of the grant date was $7.62 for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $4.69 for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Restricted Stock
We also make restricted stock grants to certain officers and, beginning in May 2006, to non-employee directors, pursuant to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. The vesting terms of these grants are specific to the individual grant and, generally, vest either immediately, one-third immediately with the remainder vesting equally on the first and second anniversaries or equally on the first, second and third anniversaries.

Threshold-Vesting Stock Options
Under the 1998 Incentive Stock Plan (the “1998 Incentive Plan”), we may also grant stock incentive awards to employees in the form of threshold-vesting stock options (“TSOs”). The exercise price of the TSO is the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) of our common stock on the date the TSO is granted. In order for the TSOs to vest, our common stock must achieve and sustain the Threshold Price for at least 20 consecutive trading days at any time over the five years following the date of grant. The Threshold Price is determined by multiplying the FMV on the date of grant by the Estimated Annual Growth Rate (currently 7%) and compounding the product over a five-year period. TSOs granted in 2004 and thereafter must be exercised within 30 days of the vesting date. TSOs granted prior to 2004, all of which have vested, have a term of up to 10 years. The 1998 Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of 11.0 million shares, subject to certain customary adjustments to prevent dilution.
The following table summarizes TSO activity, by grant year, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Other Required Disclosures
The fair values of TSOs granted in 2006 and 2005 were estimated using the binomial method. The value of restricted stock grants is calculated as the average of the high and low stock prices on the date of the initial grant. The fair values of all other stock options were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. These fair values are affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our stock price as well as that of our peer group, implied volatilities and various other factors. Historical data was used to estimate expected life and represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The weighted average estimated value of stock options and TSOs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were based on the following assumptions:
         
Risk-free interest rate
    4.43 %
Dividend yield
    4.00  
Expected volatility
    22.94  
Expected life (in years)
    2.5 - 3.5  
Compensation expense related to the Incentive Stock Plans, TSOs and restricted stock was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30,

28


Table of Contents

2005, $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
As of September 30, 2006, total compensation expense related to nonvested options, TSOs and restricted stock grants which had not yet been recognized was $19.8 million. Of this total, $2.2 million is expected to be recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2006, $8.6 million in 2007, $6.4 million in 2008, $2.4 million in 2009 and $0.2 million in 2010. These amounts may be impacted by future grants, changes in forfeiture estimates, actual forfeiture rates which differ from estimated forfeitures and/or timing of TSO vesting.
We have a $200 million per fiscal year common stock repurchase program which gives us the ability to acquire some or all of the shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of the TSOs.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The General Growth Properties, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) was established to assist eligible employees in acquiring stock ownership interest in General Growth. Under the ESPP, eligible employees make payroll deductions over a six-month purchase period. At the end of each six-month purchase period, the amounts withheld are used to purchase shares of our common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of the closing price of a share of a common stock on the first or last trading day of the purchase period. The ESPP is considered a compensatory plan pursuant to SFAS 123(R). A maximum of 1.5 million shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the ESPP. Since inception, an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million shares of our common stock have been sold under the ESPP, including 100,402 shares for the purchase period ending June 30, 2006 which were purchased at a price of $38.30 per share. Compensation expense related to the ESPP was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and, $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), there was no expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2005
NOTE 10 SEGMENTS
We have two business segments which offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies or management expertise. We do not distinguish or group our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. Further, all material operations are within the United States and no customer or tenant comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. Our reportable segments are as follows:
    Retail and Other — includes the operation and management of regional shopping centers, office and industrial properties, downtown specialty marketplaces, the retail and non-retail rental components of mixed-use projects and community retail centers
 
    Master Planned Communities — includes the development and sale of land, primarily in large-scale, long-term community development projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas
The operating measure used to assess operating results for the business segments is Real Estate Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) which represents the operating revenues of the properties less property operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Management believes that NOI provides useful information about a property’s operating performance.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company, except that we account for unconsolidated joint ventures using the proportionate share method rather than the equity method. Under the proportionate share method, our share of the revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties

29


Table of Contents

are combined with the revenues and expenses of the Consolidated Properties. Under the equity method, our share of the net revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties are reported as a single line item, “Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates,” in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. This difference affects only the reported revenues and operating expenses of the segments and has no effect on our reported net earnings. In addition, other revenues include the revenues and operating expenses exclusive of depreciation and amortization of properties classified as discontinued operations and minority interests in consolidated joint ventures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All references to numbered Notes are to specific notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report and which Notes are incorporated into the applicable response by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) have the same meanings as in such Notes or in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
We may make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report, in other reports that we file with the SEC and in other information that we release publicly or provide to investors. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others.
Forward-looking statements include:
  Projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, Funds From Operations, capital expenditures, dividends, leverage, capital structure or other financial items
  Descriptions of plans or objectives of our management for future operations, including pending acquisitions, debt repayment or restructuring, and development/redevelopment activities
  Forecasts of our future economic performance
  Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing
In this Quarterly Report, for example, we make forward-looking statements discussing our expectations about:
  Future interest rates
  Future federal income taxes
  Expected sales in our Master Planned Communities segment
Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements often include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. They give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we disclaim any obligation to update them except as required by law.
There are several factors, many beyond our control, which could cause results to differ materially from our expectations. Some of these factors are described in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which factors are incorporated herein by reference. Other factors, such as credit, market, operational, liquidity, interest rate and other risks, are described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Any factor could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. There are also other factors that we have not described in this Quarterly Report or in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K that could cause results to differ from our expectations.

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW & SUMMARY
Overview — Retail and Other Segment
Our primary business is acquiring, owning, managing, leasing and developing retail rental property. We also conduct similar activities for certain office and industrial rental properties. As of September 30, 2006, we had ownership interest in or management responsibility for a portfolio of over 200 regional shopping malls in 44 states. We own non-controlling interests in four operating retail centers, a third-party management company, and a retail center under development in Brazil. We also own non-controlling interests in a third party management company and one retail center under development in Turkey. We provide on-site management and other services to substantially all of our properties, including properties which we own through joint venture arrangements and which are unconsolidated for GAAP purposes. Our management operating philosophies and strategies are generally the same whether the properties are consolidated or unconsolidated. As a result, we believe that financial information and operating statistics with respect to all properties, both consolidated and unconsolidated, provide important insights into our operating results. Collectively, we refer to our Consolidated and Unconsolidated Properties as our “Company Portfolio” and the retail portion of the Company Portfolio as the “Retail Company Portfolio.” As substantially all of our retail property operations are in the United States, the following discussion, unless otherwise noted, excludes any information relating to international properties.
We seek to increase cash flow and real estate net operating income of our retail and office rental properties through proactive property management and leasing (including tenant remerchandising), operating cost reductions, physical expansions, redevelopments and capital reinvestment. Some of the actions that we take to increase productivity include changing the tenant mix, adding vendor carts or kiosks and expansions or renovations of centers.
We believe that the most significant operating factor affecting incremental cash flow and real estate net operating income is increased rents (either base rental revenue or overage rents) earned from tenants at our properties. These rental revenue increases are primarily achieved by:
  Renewing expiring leases and re-leasing existing space at rates higher than expiring or existing rates.
  Increasing occupancy at the properties so that more space is generating rent. The occupancy percentage at properties which are not under redevelopment in our Retail Company Portfolio was 92.4 percent at September 30, 2006, compared to 92.2 percent at September 30, 2005.
  Increased tenant sales in which we participate through overage rents. In the first nine months of 2006, tenant sales per square foot in our Retail Company Portfolio increased 5.7 percent over 2005 to $450 per square foot.

The expansion and/or renovation of a property may also result in increased cash flows and operating income as a result of increased customer traffic, trade area penetration and improved competitive position of the property. As of September 30, 2006, we had 22 major approved redevelopment projects underway (each with budgeted projected expenditures, at our ownership share, in excess of $10 million).
We also develop retail centers from the ground-up. On October 4, 2006, we opened Pinnacle Hills Promenade in Rogers, Arkansas. This 980,000 square foot open-air center is anchored by Dillard’s, JCPenney and a 12-screen theatre and includes retail, dining, entertainment, recreation and office space. Additionally, we opened Otay Ranch Town Center in Chula Vista (San Diego), California on October 27, 2006. This open-air center includes approximately 850,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space. Anchors include AMC Theatres, Barnes & Noble, Macy’s and REI. Portions of Lincolnshire Commons in Lincolnshire (Chicago), Illinois have opened throughout 2006 with completed development expected in the fourth quarter of 2006. In September 2005, we opened the Shops at La Cantera in San Antonio, Texas. Six additional domestic retail center development projects are currently under construction, and are scheduled to open in 2007 and 2008:
  Gateway Overlook in Columbia, Maryland
  Natick West in Natick, Massachusetts
  The Shops at Fallen Timbers, Maumee (Toledo), Ohio
  Vista Commons in Las Vegas, Nevada
  Parke West in Peoria, Arizona
  RiverCrossing in Macon, Georgia
Total projected expenditures (including our share of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates) for these redevelopment and development projects were approximately $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2006.
We also have seven other potential new retail or mixed-use developments that are currently projected to open in 2008 through 2010.

36


Table of Contents

Annual expenditures for the redevelopment and development projects, as well as the potential developments, are expected to be approximately $450 to $800 million per year through 2009.
In addition, we have agreed to acquire the new retail development at The Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada, upon opening. This is currently expected in late 2007, at an estimated acquisition cost of approximately $600 million.
Overview — Master Planned Communities Segment
Our Master Planned Communities segment includes the development and sale of residential and commercial land, primarily in large-scale projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Houston, Texas and Summerlin, Nevada. We develop and sell land in these communities to builders and other developers for residential, commercial and other uses. Land sale activity at our newest project, Bridgeland in Houston, Texas, began in the first quarter of 2006.
SEASONALITY
Although we have a year-long temporary leasing program, occupancies for short-term tenants and, therefore, rental income recognized, are higher during the second half of the year. In addition, the majority of our tenants have December or January lease years for purposes of calculating annual overage rent amounts. Accordingly, overage rent thresholds are most commonly achieved in the fourth quarter. As a result, revenue production is generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to useful lives of assets, revenue recognition estimates in the Master Planned Communities segment, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, cost ratios, recoverable amounts of receivables, deferred taxes, and initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions. Our critical accounting policies as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 have not changed during 2006 and such policies are incorporated herein by reference.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005
General
Our revenues are primarily received from tenants in the form of fixed minimum rents, overage rents and recoveries of operating expenses. We have presented the following discussion of our results of operations on a segment basis under the proportionate share method. Under the proportionate share method, our share of the revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties are combined with the revenues and expenses of the Consolidated Properties. In addition, other revenues are increased by the real estate net operating income of discontinued operations and are reduced by our consolidated minority interest venturers’ share of real estate net operating income. See Note 10 for additional information including reconciliations of our segment basis results to GAAP basis results.

  $ 546,728     $ 530,468     $ 16,260       3.1 %
 
                       
The increase in minimum rents is primarily attributable to the following:
    Higher specialty leasing and kiosk rents, especially at properties acquired in the 2004 TRC Merger
 
    Higher minimum rents, especially at The Shops at La Cantera, which opened in September 2005, and Ala Moana Center which was recently redeveloped
 
    Greater use of vacant space for temporary tenant rentals
 
    The acquisition of Whalers Village by one of our joint ventures and the acquisition of our partner’s share of GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. (Note 3)
These increases were partially offset by lower straight-line rent income which decreased from $21.5 million in 2005 to $15.8 million in 2006 primarily due to non-recurring adjustments recorded in 2005.
Tenant recoveries increased primarily as a result of higher operating costs, as discussed below, that are substantially recoverable from our tenants.
Historically, our leases have included both a base rent component and a component which requires tenants to pay amounts related to all, or substantially all, of their share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses, including common area maintenance and insurance. The portion of these leases attributable to the base rent is recorded in our financial statements as “Minimum rents” and the portions attributable to real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recorded as “Tenant recoveries.” Recently, however, we have structured our new tenant leases such that a higher proportion of our total rents represent operating expense recoveries. This change has resulted in a shift between minimum rents and tenant recoveries and, as a result, a higher percentage change in tenant recoveries.
The increase in overage rents is primarily attributable to The Grand Canal Shoppes.
Other revenues include all other property revenues including vending, parking and sponsorship revenues and real estate property net operating income (“NOI”) of discontinued operations less NOI of minority interests in consolidated joint ventures. Increases in vending, parking and sponsorship revenues contributed to the increase in 2006. In September 2005, other revenues included a non-recurring reduction to income by a non-consolidated property, which was acquired during the TRC Merger, and

38


Table of Contents

NOI of discontinued operations (Note 6). Higher minority interest allocations, especially at The Shops at La Cantera which opened in September 2005, also offset the increases in other revenues.
Higher real estate taxes were primarily attributed to The Grand Canal Shoppes with substantially all of the remaining properties in the portfolio reporting individual minor increases.
The increase in repairs and maintenance is primarily attributed to Ala Moana Center and the acquisition of Whalers Village and our venture partner’s interest in GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. (Note 3).
Marketing expenses decreased at substantially all of our properties due to significant cost control initiatives.
Property operating expenses increased due to higher electric expense and insurance costs across the portfolio. In September 2005, property operating expenses include a non-recurring reduction to expenses by a non-consolidated property, which was acquired during the TRC Merger. Such increases were substantially offset by decreases at Oakwood Center (Note 5).
The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts is primarily due to an individual tenant bankruptcy and to an additional anchor store opening at one of our Unconsolidated Properties in 2005. These decreases were offset by the increase in the provision for doubtful accounts at Oakwood Center, which was damaged as discussed in Note 5. Although we may not collect all of these amounts from our tenants, we do believe that the remaining amounts will be recovered under our business interruption insurance coverage. Under GAAP, however, amounts which we expect to collect for business interruption coverage under our insurance policies should not be recognized until received.

Real estate property net operating income
  $ 16,468     $ 22,115     $ (5,647 )     (25.5 )%
 
                       
The decrease in land sales in the third quarter of 2006 is primarily due to reduced demand at our Summerlin, Columbia and Fairwood developments. We currently expect this trend to continue through 2007. Unlike other markets in which builders have a significantly higher supply of unsold homes, demand at Woodlands and Bridgeland, which began sales in the first quarter of 2006, have not declined. Although quarter-to-date land sales are lower in 2006 than in 2005, we expect full year land sale revenues to exceed that of 2005 based upon anticipated sales and executed, but not yet closed, contracts.
Real estate property net operating income as a percent of land sales increased during the quarter as a result of an increase in the margin between the cost and the sale prices for developed lots. Lots developed and sold since the TRC Merger have a higher profit margin than lots which were finished at the time of the TRC Merger because all lots were marked to market at the time of the TRC Merger.

Changes in consolidated tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries and overage rents), land sales, property operating expenses and land sales operations were attributable to the same items discussed above in our segment basis results. The exception is the Whalers Village acquisition and The Woodlands, which did not impact our consolidated portfolio.
Management and other fees increased as a result of higher development fees earned as a result of the increased level of expansion and redevelopment activity in 2006.
Property management and other costs increased primarily as a result of higher personnel and personnel related costs in 2006. These increases were primarily attributable to revised allocations between our operating properties and management cost centers.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to non-recurring adjustments in 2005 related to changes in the estimated fair values of properties acquired in the TRC Merger. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of redevelopments and the opening of The Shops at La Cantera in September 2005.
The net increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the following:
  Increase in interest rates both on new fixed-rate financings and variable-rate debt as a result of increases in the LIBOR rate
  Increased amortization of deferred finance costs as a result of finance costs incurred in conjunction with the 2006 Credit Facility
  Lower amortization of purchase accounting mark-to-market adjustments (which reduce interest expense). This amortization is reduced as debt is repaid and refinanced.
These increases were partially offset by lower interest expense on our corporate and other unsecured term loans as a result of refinancing activity in February and August 2006. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional discussion of debt activity.
The decrease in the provision for income taxes is primarily attributable to operational decreases in our Master Planned Communities Segment and a non-recurring benefit recorded in 2005 related to our Master Planned Communities Segment.

Increases and decreases in our Retail and Other Segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are consistent with the changes noted above in the discussion of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 except as noted below.
In addition to the items noted above, the increase in minimum rents is also attributed to higher lease termination income. Lease termination income increased $14.0 million compared to 2005 primarily due to a large termination recorded in the first quarter of 2006.
The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts is primarily due to Oakwood Center which was only partially offset by the individual tenant bankruptcy and anchor store opening in 2005 as discussed above.
Master Planned Communities Segment

Real estate property net operating income
  $ 73,873     $ 61,656     $ 12,217       19.8 %
 
                       
Land sales at Bridgeland, which began in the first quarter of 2006, were more than offset by decreased sales at our other developments. The increase in real estate property net operating income and in real estate property net operating income as a percent of land sales is primarily due to an increase in the builder participation at our Summerlin development. In addition, the increase is due to an increase in the margin between the cost and the sales prices for developed lots. Lots developed and sold since the TRC Merger have a higher profit margin than lots which were finished at the time of the TRC Merger because all lots were marked-to-market at the time of the TRC Merger.

Increases and decreases in certain significant consolidated revenues and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are consistent with the changes noted in the discussion of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 except as noted below.
The year-to-date increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of redevelopments, the opening of The Shops at La Cantera in September 2005, change in depreciable life at one of our properties (Note 1) and the acquisition of the remaining interest in GGP Ivanhoe IV, Inc. (Note 3). The increase is partially offset by the TRC Merger adjustments noted above.
The increase in the provision for income taxes is primarily attributed to the operational increases in our Master Planned Communities segment, increases in management and other fees as discussed above and non-recurring benefits recorded in 2005. Cash requirements to meet federal income tax requirements will increase in future years as we exhaust certain net loss carry forwards and as certain master planned community developments are completed for tax purposes and, as a result, previously deferred taxes must be paid. Such cash requirements could be significant.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $452.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $493.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in earnings (primarily due to a significant increase in net interest expense) and an increase in land development expenditures. These decreases were partially offset by increases in working capital, including receipt of approximately $41 million in deposits on future transactions, primarily involving the master planned communities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $86.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $192.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The change is primarily attributable to distributions from our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates resulting from financing activities. This inflow was partially offset by increased development expenditures, reduced loans from affiliates and additional investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates.

42


Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2006, we had 22 major approved redevelopment projects underway (each with budgeted projected expenditures, at our ownership share, in excess of $10 million), nine new retail center development projects under construction (including two which opened in October 2006 and one with completed development expected in the fourth quarter of 2006) and seven potential new retail or mixed-use developments. Total projected expenditures (including our share of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates) for such development activities are currently expected to be approximately $450 to $800 million per year through 2009.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $561.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $319.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to net financing activity. In 2006, paydowns exceeded proceeds from new debt by $97.7 million. In 2005, proceeds from new debt exceeded paydowns by $216.6 million. This increase was partially offset by cash used for preferred stock redemptions in 2005 and lower common stock repurchases in 2006.
Our consolidated debt and our pro rata share of the debt of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, after giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, were as follows:

In February 2006, we entered into several debt agreements. The proceeds of these transactions were used to reduce the approximately $5.3 billion outstanding under the 2004 Credit Facility, which was entered into to fund the cash portion of the TRC Merger consideration and, with other cash and financing sources, fund other costs of the merger transaction.
On February 24, 2006, we amended the 2004 Credit Facility and entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2006 Credit Facility”). The 2006 Credit Facility provides for a $2.85 billion term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $650 million revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2006, $479.6 million is available to be drawn on the revolving credit facility.
The 2006 Credit Facility has a four year term, with a one year extension option. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.15% to LIBOR plus 1.5%, depending on our leverage ratio and assuming we maintain our election to have these loans designated as Eurodollar loans. The current interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.25%. Quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan of $12.5 million begin March 31, 2007, with the balance due at maturity.

Table of Contents

Under the terms of the 2006 Credit Facility, we are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants as we were under the 2004 Credit Facility. If a default occurs, the lenders will have the option of declaring all outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. Events of default include a failure to maintain our REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code, a failure to remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange and such customary events as nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, breach of representations and warranties, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness and certain bankruptcy events.
Concurrently with the 2006 Credit Facility transaction and as described below, we also entered into a $1.4 billion term loan (the “Short Term Loan”), we issued $200 million of trust preferred securities (the “TRUPS”) through GGP Capital Trust I and TRCLP entered into a $500 million term loan (the “Bridge Loan”). All of these arrangements are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
On May 5, 2006 we fully repaid the Bridge Loan with a portion of the proceeds obtained from the sale of bonds issued by TRCLP. The Bridge Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.3% until May 24, 2006 and at LIBOR plus 1.55% thereafter and was scheduled to be due August 24, 2006. A total of $800 million of senior unsecured notes were issued by TRCLP, providing for semi-annual payments (commencing November 1, 2006) of interest only at a rate of 6.75% and payment of the principal in full on May 1, 2013.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we closed various refinancing transactions on our Consolidated and Unconsolidated Properties. The proceeds of these transactions were used to fully repay the GGP MPTC (which includes Ala Moana) and the $1.4 billion Short Term Loan. The financing (including our share of the Unconsolidated Properties), substantially all of which is individual non-recourse secured property level mortgage debt, has a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.7%, which is approximately 50 basis points lower than the weighted average rate on the previously outstanding debt that was repaid as a result of these transactions. The refinancing also converted approximately $2 billion of Consolidated and $360 million of Unconsolidated (at our share) variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.
As mentioned above, GGP Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) and a wholly–owned subsidiary of GGPLP, completed a private placement of $200 million of TRUPS. The Trust also issued $6.2 million of Common Securities to GGPLP. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the TRUPS and Common Securities to purchase $206.2 million of floating rate Junior Subordinated Notes of GGPLP due 2036. The TRUPS require distributions equal to LIBOR plus 1.45%. Distributions are cumulative and accrue from the date of original issuance. The TRUPS mature on April 30, 2036, but may be redeemed beginning on April 30, 2011 if the Trust exercises its right to redeem a like amount of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45%.

During 2006, we completed a number of financing transactions which converted variable-rate debt to fixed rate debt and/or reduced interest rates. As discussed above, we entered into several debt agreements in February 2006. This new debt reduced the interest rates and extended the maturity of approximately $5 billion of unsecured, variable-rate debt. In the third quarter of 2006, we refinanced $3 billion in debt (including our share of the Unconsolidated Properties). These transactions converted $2 billion of consolidated variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and reduced the weighted-average interest on such debt by approximately 50 basis points. Based on the contractual maturities included in the table above and a weighted-average interest rate of 5.71% at September 30, 2006, and assuming that no new financing or refinancing transactions occur prior to December 31, 2010, future cash requirements for the payment of interest would be estimated to be approximately $0.3 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2006, $1.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, $0.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2009, $0.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2010, and $0.4 billion for the periods thereafter.
There have been no significant changes in the other cash obligations as disclosed in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
TRC acquired various assets, including Summerlin, a master planned community in suburban Las Vegas, Nevada, in the acquisition of The Hughes Corporation (“Hughes”) in 1996. In connection with the acquisition of Hughes, TRC entered into a Contingent Stock Agreement (“CSA”) for the benefit of the former Hughes owners or their successors (“beneficiaries”). Under the terms of the CSA, shares of TRC common stock were issuable to the beneficiaries based on the appraised values of defined asset groups, including Summerlin, at specified termination dates through 2009 and/or cash flows from the development and/or sale of those assets prior to the termination dates.
We assumed TRC’s obligation under the CSA to deliver shares of our common stock twice a year to beneficiaries under the CSA. The amount of shares is based upon a formula set forth in the CSA and upon our stock price. Such issuances could be dilutive to our existing stockholders if the delivery obligation is satisfied by the issuance of new shares rather than from treasury stock or shares purchased on the open market.
We account for the beneficiaries’ share of earnings from the assets as an operating expense. We will account for any distributions to the beneficiaries in 2009, which could be significant, in connection with a valuation related to assets that we own as of such date as additional investments in the related assets (that is, contingent consideration). Pursuant to the CSA, we delivered shares of our common stock to the beneficiaries totaling 1,059,191 shares (all issued from treasury shares) in August 2006 and 755,828 shares in February 2006 (including 668,333 shares issued from treasury shares).

Table of Contents

We anticipate that our operating cash flow and potential new debt or equity from additional borrowings on the Revolver, future offerings, new financings or refinancings will provide adequate liquidity to conduct our operations; fund development expenditures and other commitments, general and administrative expenses, operating costs, and principal and interest payments; and allow distributions to our stockholders in accordance with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
REIT Status
In order to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, General Growth must distribute or pay tax on 100% of capital gains and at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income to stockholders. The following factors, among others, will affect operating cash flow and, accordingly, influence the decisions of the Board of Directors regarding distributions:
    Scheduled increases in base rents of existing leases
 
    Changes in minimum base rents and/or overage rents attributable to replacement of existing leases with new or renewal leases
 
    Changes in occupancy rates at existing properties and procurement of leases for newly developed properties
 
    Necessary capital improvement expenditures or debt repayments at existing properties
 
    Our share of distributions of operating cash flow generated by the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, less oversight costs and debt service on additional loans that have been or will be incurred
 
    Anticipated proceeds from sales in our Master Planned Communities segment
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
As described in Note 8, new accounting pronouncements have been issued which are effective for the current year. There has not been a material impact on our reported operations or financial position due to the application of such new statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our outstanding debt and our share of the debt of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates as of September 30, 2006 were as follows:
                 
(In millions)   Consolidated     Unconsolidated  
Variable rate:
               
Subject to interest rate swaps
  $ 620     $ 100  
Not subject to interest rate swaps
    2,993       237  
 
           
Total
    3,613       337  
Fixed rate
    16,836       3,522  
 
           
Total
  $ 20,449     $ 3,859  
 
           
A 25 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate on the variable-rate debt not subject to interest rate swaps would increase or decrease annual interest expense and operating cash flows on our consolidated debt by approximately $7 million and on our unconsolidated debt (at our share) by approximately $1 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (including the additional review necessary to confirm the fair presentation in the financial statements, in light of the material weaknesses discussed below) as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Material Weaknesses Previously Disclosed
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for December 31, 2005, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting because of the effect of two material weaknesses in our system of internal controls. During the closing process for the year ended December 31, 2005, management determined that (i) we did not maintain effective controls at our subsidiary, The Rouse Company L.P., over the process of identifying, recording and tracking various items that create deferred income tax assets and liabilities and (ii) we had insufficient personnel resources with the technical accounting expertise to enable us to conduct a timely and accurate financial close process.
Subsequent to the filing of our Annual Report, our management has taken a number of remediation actions to address these material weaknesses in our system of internal controls including hiring additional professional staff, incremental employee technical training and further formalizing and evaluating our controls and processes. We are continuing to implement changes and will assess the operating effectiveness of these changes prior to concluding that our remediation efforts are complete. Although our remediation efforts are not yet finished, management is committed to remediate the material weaknesses as expeditiously as possible and currently believes that they will be remediated by year-end.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting, except to the extent that the changes being instituted in connection with the remediation plan affect such controls.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF TRCLP OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Revenues
Tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries, and overage rents) increased in 2006 primarily due to increased rents of approximately $12.2 million from The Shops at La Cantera which opened in September 2005. In addition, tenant rents increased at various properties due to increased occupancy and rental rates as compared to 2005. Lease termination income increased approximately $3.2 million from 2005. Such amounts are normally negotiated based on amounts remaining to be collected on the terminated leases. As a result, lease termination income represents an acceleration, rather than an increase, in revenues collected on such leases. Recoverable expenses at various properties also increased in 2006 due to higher occupancy and property operating expenses. Management and other fees increased in 2006 primarily due to higher development fees. These increases in revenue were partially offset by a $36.8 million decrease in land sales due to decreased sales at our Summerlin and Columbia developments during 2006.
Operating expenses
Real estate taxes increased approximately $4.6 million in 2006 due to increased property taxes at certain properties, including The Shops at La Cantera. Property operating costs decreased and property management and other costs increased primarily as a result of lower allocations of costs to our operating properties in 2006. Real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance and other property operating expenses are generally recoverable from tenants and the increases in these expenses are generally consistent with the increases in tenant recovery revenues. The provision for doubtful accounts increased $5.2 million in 2006 which is primarily due to Oakwood Center, which was damaged in the third quarter of 2005 (Note 5). With respect to the Master Planned Communities, although land sale revenues and sales pace declined in 2006 as compared to 2005, we expect the full year land sale revenues to exceed 2005 based upon anticipated sales and executed, but not yet closed, contracts. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributed to non-recurring adjustments in 2005 related to changes in the estimated fair values of assets related to the acquisition by General Growth. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of redevelopments and the opening of The Shops at La Cantera.
Net income (loss)
Interest expense increased as a result of higher interest rates and higher outstanding debt balances. The increase in the provision for income taxes is primarily attributable to the increases in operating results at the master planned communities.
Cash position at September 30, 2006
TRCLP’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $25.6 million to $47.8 million as of September 30, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. The cash position of TRCLP is largely determined at any point in time by the relative short-term demands for cash by TRCLP and General Growth, TRCLP’s parent. Advances to General Growth by TRCLP increased in 2006, which is primarily due to $800.0 million from the sale of bonds by TRCLP. TRCLP expects to remain current with respect to its debt obligations and be able to access additional funds as required from General Growth.
