General Growth Properties, Inc. (GGP), a Delaware corporation, is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a REIT. GGP was organized in 1986 and
through its subsidiaries and affiliates operates, develops and manages retail and other rental
properties, primarily shopping centers, which are located primarily throughout the United States.
GGP also has international assets through unconsolidated real estate affiliates in Brazil, Turkey
and Costa Rica in which GGP has invested approximately $130 million at March 31, 2007.
Additionally, GGP develops and sells land for residential, commercial and other uses primarily in
large-scale, long-term master planned communities projects in and around Columbia, Maryland;
Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas. In these notes, the terms we, us and our refer to GGP
and its subsidiaries (the Company).
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 GGP, our subsidiaries
and joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the
non-controlling partners share of operations (generally computed as the joint venture partners
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)
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 period ended March 31,
2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.
Straight-line rents receivable
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 approximately $168.7
million as of March 31, 2007 and $159.2 million as of December 31, 2006 are included in Accounts
and notes receivable, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 periods of deferred costs and
intangibles, particularly with respect to acquisitions, and cost ratios and completion percentages
used for land sales. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to
the current period presentation.

Diluted EPS excludes anti-dilutive options where the exercise price was higher than the
average market price of our common stock and options for which requirements for vesting were not
satisfied. Such options totaled approximately 3.9 million shares for the three months ended March
31, 2007 and approximately 3.2 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Outstanding Common Units have also been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation
because there would be no effect on EPS as the minority interests share of income would also be
added back to net income.
Transactions With Affiliates
Management and other fee revenues 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 $25.9 million in the three months ended March 31,
2007 and $21.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006. Such fees are recognized as
revenue when earned.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
Changes in gross asset (liability) balances are the result of the acquisition of the minority
interest in two consolidated joint ventures.
Amortization/accretion of these intangible assets and liabilities, and similar assets and
liabilities from our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates at our share, decreased income
(excluding the impact of minority interest and the provision for income taxes) by approximately
$29.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and approximately $29.7 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2006.
Future amortization, including our share of such items from Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates,
is estimated to decrease income (excluding the impact of minority interest and the provision for
income taxes) by approximately $120 million in 2007, $90 million in 2008, $60 million in 2009, $40
million in 2010, and $30 million in 2011.

The weighted-average effective annual interest rate (which includes both the effects of swaps and
deferred finance costs) on our mortgages, notes and loans payable was 5.88% at March 31, 2007 and
5.82% at December 31, 2006. Such debt has various maturities through 2095 with a weighted-average
remaining term of 4.71 years as of March 31, 2007.
Certain properties, including those within the portfolios collateralized by commercial
mortgage-backed securities, are subject to financial performance covenants, primarily debt service
coverage ratios.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In April 2007, GGPLP completed the sale of $1.55 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.98%
Exchangeable Senior Notes (the Notes) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year,
beginning October 15, 2007. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2027 unless previously redeemed by
GGPLP, repurchased by GGPLP or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior
to April 15, 2012, we will not have the right to redeem the Notes, except to preserve our status as
a REIT. On or after April 15, 2012, we may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes at any time, at
100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date. On each of April 15, 2012, April 15, 2017 and April 15, 2022, holders of the Notes
may require us to repurchase the Notes, in whole or in part, for cash equal to 100% of the
principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the date of repurchase.
The Notes are exchangeable for GGP common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at our
option, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including conditions relating to the market
price of our common stock, the trading price of the Notes, the occurrence of certain corporate
events and transactions, a call for redemption of the Notes and any failure by us to maintain a
listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange. We currently intend to settle the
principal amount of the Notes in cash and any premium in cash, shares of our common stock or a
combination of both.
The initial exchange rate for each $1,000 principal amount of notes is approximately 11.27 shares
of GGP common stock, representing an exchange price of approximately $88.72 per share and an
exchange premium of 35%, based on the closing price of our common stock on April 10, 2007. The
initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including a reduction
in the exchange rate resulting from an increase in our dividend.
Proceeds from the offering, net of related fees, were approximately $1.52 billion and were used to
repay $850 million of corporate unsecured debt, to repay approximately $400 million on our
revolving credit facility, to pay approximately $110 million of dividends, to redeem $60 million of
perpetual preferred units and for other general corporate uses. The rate on the corporate unsecured
debt and the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2007 was 6.57%.

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:

Such swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and are intended to hedge our
exposure to future interest payments 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 March 31,
2007. These letters of credit and bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance
requirements, special real estate assessments and construction obligations.
NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES
On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold
that a tax position is required to meet before recognition in the financial statements and provides
guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure and transition issues.
At
January 1, 2007, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of
approximately $135.1 million
of which approximately $69 million would affect our effective tax rate. These
unrecognized tax benefits increased our income tax liabilities by $81.9 million, increased goodwill
by $27.8 million and reduced retained earnings by $54.1 million. As of January 1, 2007, we had
accrued interest of approximately $11.9 million related to these unrecognized tax benefits and no
penalties. Prior to adoption of FIN 48, we did not treat either interest or penalties related to
tax uncertainties as part of income tax expense. With the adoption of FIN 48, we have chosen to
change this accounting policy. As a result, we will recognize and report interest and penalties,
if necessary, within our provision for income tax expense from January 1, 2007 forward. We
recognized $2.3 million in potential interest expense in the first quarter related to the
unrecognized tax benefits.
Generally, we are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue
Service for the years ending December 31, 2003 through 2006 and are open to state taxing
authorities for years ending December 31, 2002 through 2006. Several of our taxable REIT
subsidiaries are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 2001 through 2005.
We are unable to determine when these audits will be resolved.
Based on our assessment of the expected outcome of these examinations or examinations that may
commence, or as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific
jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax
positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns will materially change from those recorded
at January 1, 2007. A material change in unrecognized tax benefits could have a material effect on
our statements of income and comprehensive income. Included in the
approximately $135.1 million of
unrecognized benefits at January 1, 2007 discussed above, is $19.5 million which due to the reasons
above, could significantly increase or decrease during the next twelve months.
Effective
March 31, 2007, through a series of transactions,
a private REIT owned by GGPLP was contributed to TRCLP and one of our
TRS entities became a qualified
REIT subsidiary of that private REIT. This transaction resulted in approximately a $330 million
decrease in our net deferred tax liabilities, an approximate
$30 million increase in our current taxes payable and an
approximate $300 million income tax benefit related to
the properties now owned by that private REIT.

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options as of March 31, 2007 represents
the excess of our closing stock price ($64.57) over the exercise price multiplied by the applicable
number of shares that may be acquired upon exercise 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 $36.2 million for options exercised during the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and $8.6 million for options exercised during the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
The weighted-average fair value of stock options as of the grant date was $11.07 for stock options
granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $7.62 for stock options granted during the
three months ended March 31, 2006.
Stock options generally vest 20% at the time of the grant and in 20% annual increments thereafter.
In February 2007, however, in lieu of awarding options similar in size to prior years to two of our
senior executives, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of
options held by these executives so that all such options became immediately exercisable. As a
result, the vesting of 705,000 options was accelerated and compensation expense of $4.1 million
which would have been recognized in 2007 through 2010 was recognized in the three months ended
March 31, 2007.

Compensation expense related to the Incentive Stock Plans, TSOs and restricted stock was $11.3
million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $5.0 million in the three months ended March
31, 2006.
As of March 31, 2007, total compensation expense which had not yet been recognized related to
nonvested options, TSOs and restricted stock grants was $38.4 million. Of this total,
approximately $11.4 million is expected to be recognized in the remaining months of 2007,
approximately $12.5 million in 2008, approximately $8.7 million in 2009, approximately $4.1 million
in 2010 and approximately $1.7 million in 2011. These amounts may be impacted by future grants,
changes in forfeiture estimates or vesting terms, actual forfeiture rates which differ from
estimated forfeitures and/or timing of TSO vesting.

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings relating
to the ownership and operations of our properties. In managements 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. The leases generally provide
us with a right of first refusal in the event of a proposed sale of the property by the landlord.
Rental payments are expensed as incurred and have, to the extent applicable, been straight-lined
over the term of the lease. Rental expense, including participation rent and excluding
amortization of above and below-market ground leases and straight-line rents, was
$3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $2.5 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
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. In conjunction with the acquisition of The
Grand Canal Shoppes in 2004, we entered into an agreement (the Phase II Agreement) to acquire the
multi-level retail space that is planned to be part of The Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada that will
be connected to the existing Venetian and the Sands Expo and Convention Center facilities (the
Phase II Acquisition) and The Grand Canal Shoppes. The Palazzo is currently under construction
and is expected
18
GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
to be completed in early 2008. If completed as specified under the terms of the Phase II
Agreement, we will purchase the Phase II Acquisition retail space at a price as defined by the
Phase II Agreement. Based on current construction plans, progress and estimated rents, we believe
the purchase price will be approximately $600 million. The Phase II Agreement is subject to the
satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Contingent Stock Agreement
In conjunction with the TRC Merger, we assumed TRCs obligations under a Contingent Stock Agreement
(CSA). TRC entered into the CSA in 1996 when it acquired The Hughes Corporation (Hughes).
This acquisition included various assets, including Summerlin (the CSA Assets), a development in
our Master Planned Communities segment. We agreed that the TRC Merger would not have a prejudicial
effect on the former Hughes owners or their successors (the Beneficiaries) with respect to their
receipt of securities pursuant to the CSA. We further agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the
Beneficiaries against losses arising out of any breach by us of these covenants.
Under the CSA, we are required to issue shares of our common stock semi-annually (February and
August) to the Beneficiaries. The number of shares to be issued is based on cash flows from the
development and/or sale of the CSA Assets and our stock price. We account for the Beneficiaries
share of earnings from the CSA Assets as an operating expense. We delivered 699,000 shares of our
common stock (including 147,000 treasury shares) to the Beneficiaries in the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 756,000 (including 668,000 treasury shares) in the three months ended March 31,
2006.
We are also required to make a final distribution to the Beneficiaries in 2009. The amount of this
distribution will be based on the appraised values of the CSA Assets and is expected to be
significant. We will account for this distribution as additional investments in the related assets
(that is, contingent consideration).
Hurricane Damages
In September 2005, two of our operating retail properties in Louisiana incurred hurricane and/or
vandalism damage. Riverwalk Marketplace, which is located near the convention center in downtown
New Orleans, partially reopened in November 2005. Though now fully open, occupancy and traffic
levels continue to be below pre-hurricane levels. Oakwood Center, located in Gretna, Louisiana, is
currently scheduled to reopen in 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 $36 million. However, we continue to assess the damage estimates and are having
ongoing discussions with our insurance carriers regarding the scope of repair, cleaning, and
replacement required. 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.
We believe it is probable that insurance proceeds will be sufficient to cover the cost of restoring
the property damage and certain business interruption amounts; however, certain deductibles,
limitations and exclusions are expected to apply with respect to both current and future matters.
No determination has yet been made as to the total amount or timing of insurance payments. As of
March 31, 2007, however, an aggregate of $33.7 million in insurance proceeds related to property
damage and business interruption have been received. These proceeds have 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 March 31, 2007, the majority of the remaining insurance
recovery receivable represents the recovery of the net book value of fixed assets that have been
written off.
NOTE 9 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159) which provides companies with an option to report selected
financial assets and
liabilities at fair value. The standards objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for
financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes
for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of
19
GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. With certain
limitations, early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this new statement on
our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB 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 the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
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.
Though we have certain limited life ventures that appear to meet the criteria for liability
recognition, we do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 150, if required, will have a material
impact on our financial statements.
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, development and management of retail and
other rental property, primarily shopping 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 propertys operating performance.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company, except that we
account for unconsolidated real estate 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 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 NOI of discontinued operations and
is reduced by the NOI attributable to our minority interest partners in consolidated joint
ventures.

Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in
this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)
have the same meanings as in such Notes or in our 2006 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 (FFO), Core FFO, capital
expenditures, income tax liabilities 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 development spending |
|
|
|
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 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
which factors are incorporated herein by reference. 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 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K that could cause results to differ from our expectations.
Overview
Our primary business is acquiring, owning, managing, leasing and developing retail rental property,
primarily shopping centers. The majority of our properties are located in the United States, but
we also have retail operations and property management activities, through unconsolidated joint
ventures, in Brazil and Turkey. 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.
Net income for the three months ended March 31 was $230.2 million in 2007 and $23.0 million in
2006. A $298 million reduction in our net tax liabilities as a result of a tax
restructuring and lower interest expense contributed to the increase in net income for the 2007
period. These increases were partially offset by lower NOI in our Master Planned Communities
segment.
NOI in our Retail and Other segment was comparable to the prior year period. Though rental rates
have increased over the prior year period, these increases have been substantially offset by lower
termination income in 2007 and

substantial leaseable square footage which is currently being redeveloped and, though leased, is
not currently generating income.
Operating metrics continued to show signs of strength. Sales per square foot (on a trailing twelve
month basis) increased 3.2% over the first quarter of 2006 to $458. Occupancy in our Retail Company
Portfolio increased to 92.9% at March 31, 2007, compared to 91.1% at March 31, 2006. The sum of
average rent and recoverable common area costs for new leases signed during the first quarter of
2007 was $36.87 per square foot, $5.49 higher than leases which expired during the same period.
As we had anticipated, sales in our Master Planned Communities segment continued a decline which
began in 2006.
After reaching a high in the third quarter of 2006, interest expense declined for the second
sequential quarter and, for the first time since the TRCLP merger, was lower than the comparable
prior year period.
Effective January 1, 2007, Rouse Property Management, Inc., a taxable REIT subsidiary of TRCLP, was
merged into GGMI, a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) of GGPLP. The transfer combines substantially
all of our domestic management activities into a single TRS, but is not expected to have a
significant impact on our results of operations.
We also restructured an additional TRS effective March 31, 2007. Through a series of transactions,
a private REIT owned by GGPLP was contributed to TRCLP and that additional TRS became a qualified
REIT subsidiary of that private REIT. This transaction resulted in approximately a $330 million
decrease in our net deferred tax liabilities, a $30 million increase in our current taxes payable
and a $300 million income tax benefit related to the properties now owned by that private REIT.
Acquisition activity was not significant during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and included
primarily the acquisition of minority ownership interest in two
operating properties for a purchase price of approximately
$13 million and four former Mervyns department stores for
a purchase price of approximately $18
million.
Development activity remained strong in the quarter. As of March 31, 2007, we had six
redevelopment projects with budgeted projected expenditures in excess of $25 million, 12 new
development projects under construction and seven potential developments. Developments in Progress
per the balance sheet, plus our share of Unconsolidated Properties, totaled $1.1 billion at March
31, 2007. Future approved development spending is $1.3 billion and is expected to be expended
between 2007 and 2010.
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. Our critical accounting policies as discussed in our Annual Report for the
year ended December 31, 2006 have not changed during 2007 and such policies are incorporated herein
by reference.
Results of Operations
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, if applicable,
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.

Minimum rents were comparable to the prior year quarter as higher effective rents were
substantially offset by lower lease termination income and the impact of redevelopment activities.
Lease termination income in 2007 was $18.7 million lower than the prior year quarter.
Redevelopment activities also had a negative impact on our minimum rents as space which is being
redeveloped, even though it may be leased, did not generate revenue in the current quarter.
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 real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are
recorded as Tenant recoveries. Recently, however, we have been structuring our new tenant leases
such that a higher proportion of our rental revenues represent operating expense recoveries. This
change has resulted in a shift between minimum rents and tenant recoveries.
The increase in overage rents is primarily attributed to The Grand Canal Shoppes as the result of
increased sales compared to 2006.
Other revenues include all other property revenues including vending, parking, sponsorship and
advertising revenues, less NOI of minority interests in consolidated joint ventures. The increase
in 2007 is primarily due to lower allocations to minority interests as a result of certain
acquisitions of our minority interest partners ownership share in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Real estate taxes were higher across substantially all of our properties. The increase in repairs
and maintenance is primarily attributed to higher snow removal and cleaning costs across
substantially all of our properties. Property operating expenses increased due to higher employee,
utility and insurance costs.
Marketing expenses and the provision for doubtful accounts were comparable to the prior year.

As expected, land sales declined at all of our properties except Bridgeland, which began sales in
the first quarter of 2006. We expect this trend to continue until the housing market stabilizes
and national home builders resume capital investments. As a result of high inventories of unsold
homes and land across the country, national home builders have reduced activity even in markets
such as Summerlin and Houston where supply and demand have generally remained in equilibrium
despite the weak national housing market.

months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Average Price per Acre can fluctuate widely, depending on location of the parcels within a
community and the unit price and density of what is sold. The average price per acre does not
include payments received under builders price participation agreements, where we may receive
additional proceeds post-sale and record those revenues at that later date, based on the final
selling price of the home. In some cases, these payments have been significant with respect to the
initial lot price. In addition, there will be other timing differences between lot sales and
reported revenue due to timing of revenue recognition under generally accepted accounting
principles. The above pricing data also does not reflect the impact of income taxes and the CSA
(Note 8), which can have a material impact on results.

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.
Management and other fees decreased as a result of lower fees attributable to certain development
activities in 2007. Development fees were higher in 2006 due to the timing of fees related to The
Shops at La Cantera. Property management and other costs increased primarily as a result of higher
personnel and personnel-related costs in 2007. The increase was attributable to higher incentive
compensation costs and an increase in the number of employees.
The increase in general and administrative is attributable to higher senior management compensation
expense, including bonuses and higher stock option expense resulting from the acceleration of the
vesting period for certain stock options.
The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to depreciation of completed
redevelopments.
The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to higher capitalized interest. As a result of
the increase in our development activities, we capitalized more interest, which reduces interest
expense, in the first quarter of 2007 than in the prior year quarter. Additionally, we incurred
lower debt extinguishment costs in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of reduced refinancing
activity. As previously discussed, we amended the corporate unsecured credit facility and reduced
the rate by approximately 60 basis points in the first quarter of 2006 and refinanced $2 billion of
variable-rate debt with lower fixed-rate property debt in the third quarter of 2006. Even though
these transactions reduced interest expense, the savings were more than offset by higher average
outstanding debt and higher interest rates on the remainder of our portfolio.
Substantially
all of the change in the benefit (provision) for income taxes is attributable to an
internal restructuring of certain of our operating properties that were previously owned by TRS
entities. This restructuring resulted in a net $298 million reduction in our income tax benefit.
Also contributing to the change were declines in taxable income at our TRSs, including our
management company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $90.4 million in the three months ended March 31,
2007 and $196.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The decrease is primarily due to lower net income after adjustments for non-cash revenues and
expenses. The decrease in 2007 compared to 2006 is primarily attributable to lower real estate net
operating income in our Master Planned Communities segments.
Land development and acquisitions expenditures, which are related to our Master Planned Communities
segment, were $41.4 million in 2007 and $47.1 million in 2006. These expenditures will vary from
year to year based on the pace of development and expected sales. As discussed above, demand at
our Summerlin, Columbia and Fairwood projects declined in 2006 and we expect this trend to continue
into 2007. As a result, land development and acquisitions expenditures are also expected to
continue to decline in 2007.
Net cash
used for working capital needs totaled $27.0 million in 2007 and
$32.8 million in 2006.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $260.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007
and $130.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Net investing cash provided by (used in) our unconsolidated affiliates was ($57.6) million in 2007
and $30.6 million in 2006. The reduction in net cash is primarily attributed to decreased
distributions in 2007 compared to 2006, resulting from the timing of distributions from one of our
joint ventures. In addition, certain joint ventures retained cash to fund operations and
redevelopment activities and therefore did not have excess cash for distributions. We also
received a one-time distribution from one of our joint ventures in 2006, which did not recur in
2007.
Cash used for acquisition/development of real estate and property additions/improvements was $207.1
million in 2007 and $176.5 million in 2006. Expenditures in both years were primarily related to
development and redevelopment activity. As of March 31, 2007, we had six major approved
redevelopment projects underway (each with budgeted projected expenditures, at our ownership share,
in excess of $25 million) and 12 new retail center development projects under construction.
Developments in Progress per the balance sheet, plus our share of Unconsolidated Properties,
totaled $1.1 billion at March 31, 2007. Future approved development spending is $1.3 billion and is
expected to be expended between 2007 and 2010. We also have seven potential new retail or
mixed-use developments.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $137.9 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and ($103.4) million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Distributions to common stockholders, holders of Common Units and holders of perpetual and
convertible preferred units totaled $137.0 million in 2007 and $124.3 million in 2006. Dividends
paid per common share were $0.45 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $0.41 in the three
months ended March 31, 2006.
New financings exceeded principal payments by $228.5 million in 2007 and by $42.4 thousand in 2006.
The net financing activity in 2007 reflects draws on the Revolving Credit Facility. In the first
quarter of 2006, we refinanced the initial TRCLP acquisition funding. The decrease in deferred
finance costs is attributable to the refinancing activity.
REIT Requirements
In order to remain qualified as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, we
must distribute or pay tax on 100% of our capital gains and at least 90% of our ordinary taxable
income to stockholders. In determining distributions, the Board of Directors considers operating
cash flow.
28
GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
We anticipate that our operating cash flow and potential new debt or equity will provide adequate
liquidity to conduct our operations, fund general and administrative expenses, fund operating costs
and interest payments and allow distributions to our stockholders in accordance with the
requirements of the Code. Certain properties are subject to financial
performance covenants, primarily debt service coverage ratios. We
believe we are in compliance with all such covenants as of
March 31, 2007.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
As described in Note 9, new accounting pronouncements have been issued which are effective for the
current or subsequent year.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes in the market risks described in our 2006 Annual Report.
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 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 SECs 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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.
