GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

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, 2006 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (Commission File No. 1-11656), as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our Annual Report have been omitted from this report. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Quarterly Report have the same meanings as in our Annual Report.

General

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 $228.7 million at September 30, 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 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) 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 September 30, 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 $202.8 million as of September 30, 2007 and $159.2 million as of December 31, 2006 are included in Accounts and notes receivable, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Acquisition of Interest in GGP/Homart I

On July 6, 2007, we acquired the fifty percent interest owned by New York State Common Retirement Fund (“NYSCRF”) in the GGP/Homart I portfolio of twenty-two properties pursuant to an election by NYSCRF to exercise its exchange right with respect to its ownership in GGP/Homart I (“the Homart I acquisition”). The approximate $950 million cash purchase price for NYSCRF’s ownership interest, which we computed pursuant to the GGP/Homart I Stockholders Agreement, was primarily funded by a $750 million bank loan which, including amortization of the fees, bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The acquisition also included the assumption of approximately $1.04 billion of existing mortgage debt (at fair value) representing NYSCRF’s share of total Homart I mortgage debt. Subsequently, we engaged in discussions with NYSCRF concerning, among other things, the method we used to compute the total purchase price payable pursuant to the GGP/Homart I Stockholders Agreement. On November 1, 2007, NYSCRF filed a demand (and an accompanying statement of claim) with the American Arbitration Association to arbitrate issues relating to the total purchase price, among other things, in accordance with the GGP/Homart I Stockholders Agreement. NYSCRF claims that additional purchase price, plus interest, is owed under the GGP/Homart I Stockholders Agreement. Adjustment of the total purchase price could result from such arbitration (or mediation) and we have recorded this transaction based upon our estimate of the final determination of total purchase price.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

As a result of this transaction, we own 100% of the GGP/Homart I portfolio and subsequently have consolidated the respective operations from the acquisition date. The properties in the GGP/Homart I portfolio include: Arrowhead Towne Center (a 33.3% unconsolidated interest), Bay City Mall, Brass Mill Center, Chula Vista Center, Columbiana Centre, Deerbrook Mall, Lakeland Square Mall, Moreno Valley Mall, Neshaminy Mall (a 50% unconsolidated interest), Newgate Mall, Newpark Mall, North Point Mall, The Parks at Arlington, Pembroke Lakes Mall, The Shoppes at Buckland Hills, Steeplegate Mall, Superstition Springs Center (a 33.3% unconsolidated interest), Tysons Galleria, Vista Ridge Mall, Washington Park Mall, West Oaks Mall, The Woodlands Mall and a parcel of land at East Mesa.

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.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Information related to our EPS calculations is summarized as follows:

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — diluted		244,034		244,640		241,034			241,034

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 3.8 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Outstanding options of approximately 4.2 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and outstanding options of approximately 4.1 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, are anti-dilutive as we

reported losses. 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. Finally, the exchangeable senior notes that were issued in April 2007 (Note 4) are also excluded from EPS because the conditions for exchange were not satisfied as of September 30, 2007.

Transactions With Affiliates

Management and other fee revenues primarily represent management and leasing fees, development 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 earned from the Unconsolidated Properties totaled approximately $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, approximately $60.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and approximately $75.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Such fees are recognized as revenue when earned.

Real estate tax stabilization agreement		91,879			(8,501	)		83,378

Changes in gross asset (liability) balances in 2007 are the result of the Homart I acquisition (Note 1), the acquisition of the minority interest in two consolidated joint ventures and our policy of writing off fully amortized intangible assets.

The gross asset balances of the in-place value of tenant leases are included in Buildings and equipment in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The above-market and below-market tenant and ground leases are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accounts payable and accrued expenses as detailed in Note 7.

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 $29.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, approximately $84.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately $26.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and approximately $87.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

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.

Condensed Financial Information of Individually Significant Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates

Following is summarized financial information for GGP/Homart II L.L.C. (“GGP/Homart II”), GGP-TRS L.L.C. (“GGP-Teachers”) and The Woodlands Land Development Holdings, L.P. (“The Woodlands Partnership”). We account for these joint ventures using the equity method because we have joint interest and control of these ventures with our venture partners and they have substantive participating rights in such ventures. For financial reporting purposes, each of these joint ventures is considered an individually significant Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliate.

In certain circumstances, we have debt obligations in excess of our pro rata share of the debt of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. This Retained Debt represents distributed debt proceeds of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in excess of our pro rata share of the non-recourse mortgage indebtedness of such Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. The proceeds of the Retained Debt which are distributed to us are included as a reduction in our investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. Although the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates generate ample cash flow to pay debt service, by agreement with our partners, our distributions may be reduced or we may be required to contribute funds in an amount equal to the debt service on Retained Debt.

In February, 2004, Caruso Affiliated Holdings, LLC filed suit against the Company and GGP/Homart II, LLC (“GGP/Homart II” and collectively with the Company, the “parties”) in the Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”) alleging violations of the California antitrust law and unfair competition laws and interference with prospective economic relations. At trial, which commenced in 2007, the California antitrust law and unfair competition claims were dismissed. Trial proceeded with, among other things, the allegation that the parties had interfered with the plaintiff’s relationship with a prospective tenant for its proposed lifestyle development adjacent to GGP/Homart II’s Glendale Galleria. On November 8, 2007, the parties were notified that the jury in the case had returned a verdict in the amount of approximately $74.2 million and had found that the plaintiff was entitled to punitive damages. The amount of such punitive damages will be considered by the Court subsequent to the date of this report. Accordingly, an accrual of the verdict has been recorded by GGP/Homart II in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 within general and administrative expenses. In addition, the Company’s 50% share of this amount has been reflected in Equity in income (loss) of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. No estimate of the amount of punitive damages can be made at this time. However, punitive damages in California have been awarded within the range of $1 to ten times the actual damage award assessed. If and when payment of the total damage award is required, the Company would be required to contribute to such payment to the extent GGP/Homart II funds are not available.

NOTE 4 — MORTGAGES, NOTES AND LOANS PAYABLE

Mortgages, notes and loans payable are summarized as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2007		2006
Fixed-rate debt:
Commercial mortgage-backed securities	$	868,765	$	868,765
Other collateralized mortgages, notes and loans payable		15,960,324		13,762,381
Corporate and other unsecured term loans		3,895,785		2,386,334

Total fixed-rate debt		20,724,874		17,017,480


Variable-rate debt:
Other collateralized mortgages, notes and loans payable		937,438		388,287
Credit facilities		217,800		60,000
Corporate and other unsecured term loans		2,193,700		3,056,200

Total variable-rate debt		3,348,938		3,504,487

Total Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable	$	24,073,812	$	20,521,967

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 5.76% at September 30, 2007, 5.82% at December 31, 2006 and 5.71% at September 30, 2006. Such debt has various maturities through 2095 with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.77 years as of September 30, 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. We believe we are in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2007.

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 currently approximately 12.27 shares of GGP common stock, representing an exchange price of approximately $81.49 per share and an exchange premium of 24%, which was 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. We have registered, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the GGP common stock issuable upon the exchange of the Notes (approximately 17.5 million shares) and agree to maintain the effectiveness of such registration throughout the term of the Notes. In the event of a registration default, we will increase the applicable exchange rate by 3% (approximately 0.5 million shares) until we are no longer in default. As we believe that the likelihood of making such exchange rate adjustment is remote, no amounts reflecting a contingent liability have been accrued.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

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. At September 30, 2007 the weighted average interest rate on the remaining corporate unsecured fixed and variable rate debt and the revolving credit facility was 6.15%.

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)	$	200.0		$	195.0
Average fixed pay rate		5.11	%		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 payments on the related variable-rate debt.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $224.0 million as of September 30, 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, excluding accrued interest, of which approximately $69 million would impact our effective tax rate. These unrecognized tax benefits increased our income tax liabilities by $81.0 million, increased goodwill by $27.4 million and cumulatively reduced retained earnings by $53.6 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 potential interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Generally, we are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending December 31, 2004 through 2006 and are open to audit by state taxing authorities for years ending December 31, 2003 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 the remaining audits will be resolved.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized previously unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest, of $20.0 million; of which $14.8 million decreased goodwill and $5.2 million reduced income tax expense. The recognition of the previously unrecognized tax benefits resulted in the reduction of interest expense accrued related to these amounts. As a result, there was a $4.2 million reduction of interest expense and a $0.4 million reduction in goodwill in the third quarter 2007 related to the recognition of the previously unrecognized tax benefits.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

Unrecognized tax benefits were $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the third quarter of 2007, a change from the estimates used at December 31, 2006 to actual amounts used in the tax returns filed, resulted in a re-measurement of unrecognized tax benefits. The re-measurement increased the unrecognized tax benefits by $1.7 million and is reflected as an increase in income tax expense in the third quarter of 2007. During the second quarter of 2007, we changed our recognition and measurement of a position as a result of negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service. GAAP requires that the change in measurement of contingencies related to positions as of the November 2004 TRC merger date (approximately $1.4 million) be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

Based on our assessment of the expected outcome of these remaining 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, excluding accrued interest, 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. As of September 30, 2007, there is approximately $16.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest, 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.

Intrinsic value (in thousands)	$	22,063					$	14,613

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options as of September 30, 2007 represents the excess of our closing stock price ($53.62) on that date 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 $39.3 million for options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $13.5 million for options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The weighted-average fair value of stock options as of the grant date was $11.07 for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $7.62 for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 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 vested and 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 first quarter of 2007.

Restricted Stock

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The total fair value of restricted stock grants which vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $2.0 million in each period.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

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 Current Market Price (“CMP”) as defined in the 1998 Incentive Plan 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 during the five years following the date of grant. Participating employees must remain employed until vesting occurs in order to exercise the options. The Threshold Price is currently determined by multiplying the CMP on the date of grant by an 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, of which 8,163,995 options have been granted as of September 30, 2007, subject to certain customary adjustments to prevent dilution.

The following table summarizes TSO activity by grant year.

The Company has 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.

Other Required Disclosures

Historical data, such as the past performance of our common stock and the length of service by employees, was used to estimate expected life of the TSOs and our stock options 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, 2007 and 2006 were based on the following assumptions:


	2007			2006
Risk-free interest rate		4.70	%		4.43	%
Dividend yield		4.00			4.00
Expected volatility		24.72			22.94

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

Compensation expense related to the Incentive Stock Plans, TSOs and restricted stock was $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, $17.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

As of September 30, 2007, total compensation expense which had not yet been recognized related to nonvested options, TSOs and restricted stock grants was $31.2 million. Of this total, approximately $3.8 million is expected to be recognized in the remaining months of 2007, approximately $12.7 million in 2008, approximately $8.8 million in 2009, approximately $4.1 million in 2010, approximately $1.6 million in 2011 and approximately $0.2 million in 2012. 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 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. 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 $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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. Construction of The Palazzo is approaching completion and the project is expected to open in January 2008. If completed as specified under the terms of the Phase II Agreement, we will purchase the Phase II Acquisition retail space at opening at the price defined in the Phase II Agreement. Purchase of the Phase II Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Phase II Agreement provides for the payment of an initial purchase price amount (currently estimated at approximately $369 million) at opening of the Phase II Acquisition retail space and additional purchase price, based on operating incentives, during the subsequent 48 months. We had previously estimated the total purchase price to be approximately $600 million, which we currently believe to be at the top of the range of potential purchase price amounts.

See Note 5 for our obligations related to FIN 48 and also Notes 1 and 3 for disclosure of additional contingencies.

Contingent Stock Agreement

In conjunction with the TRC Merger, we assumed TRC’s 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 1,815,019 (including 1,727,524 treasury shares) in the nine months ended September 30, 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).

Oakwood Center and Riverwalk Marketplace 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, reopened on October 19, 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.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

In June 2007 as part of a final settlement, we negotiated an additional payment of $13.5 million with our insurance carrier for all outstanding claims related to Riverwalk Marketplace, including property damage and business interruption. This payment was collected on July 5, 2007. As a result of the settlement, during the second quarter of 2007, the proceeds from the additional payment were first applied against the Riverwalk Marketplace insurance recovery receivable (approximately $1.9 million) and the remainder was recognized as business interruption, of which approximately $6.8 million was included as minimum rent and approximately $4.8 million was included as a reduction to provision for doubtful accounts in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The property damage at Oakwood Center has been estimated to be approximately $34.2 million. However, we continue to have discussions with our insurance carriers regarding the scope of repair, cleaning, and replacement we have incurred. 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 at Oakwood Center; 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 September 30, 2007, however, an aggregate of $29.3 million in insurance proceeds related to property damage and business interruption have been received for Oakwood Center, of which $25 million was received as final settlement with one of our insurance carriers. These proceeds have been applied against insurance recovery receivables, which have primarily been for property damage incurred. Although it is likely that certain of the amounts collected in such final settlement constitutes payment of a portion of our business interruption claims, GAAP precludes any revenue recognition until final settlement with our remaining insurance carriers or cumulative non-refundable payments exceed property operating expense reimbursements previously recognized. In addition, as certain disputes currently exist or may occur in the future with certain of our insurance carriers, we have initiated litigation to preserve our rights concerning our claims. Finally, as of September 30, 2007, the majority of the remaining Oakwood Center 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 August 2007, the FASB proposed FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-a, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (including Partial Cash Settlements)” (FSP 14-a). FSP 14-a would require companies to separately account for the liability and equity components of the debt instruments in a manner that will reflect the nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. If the final FSP is issued, it would be retrospectively applied and effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact of FSP 14-a on our financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact of EITF 06-11 on our financial statements.

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 standard’s 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 the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. With certain limitations, early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate 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

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

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 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 the currently postponed provisions 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 property’s operating performance.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company, except that we report 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 Real Estate 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.

The total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets for the Master Planned Communities segment was $57.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, $141.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, $53.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $156.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Similarly, expenditures for long-lived assets for the Retail and Other segment was $817.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, $1.24 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, $142.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $419.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Such amounts for the Master Planned Communities segment and the Retail and Other segment are included in the amounts listed as Land/Residential development and acquisitions expenditures and Acquisition/development of real estate and property additions/improvements, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The total amount of goodwill, as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, is included in our Retail and Other segment. See Note 5 for more detail regarding the change in the value of goodwill within this segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All references to numbered Notes are to specific footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report and which descriptions 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 Annual Report.

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 or other contingent 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

•		Future development, management and leasing fees

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 Annual Report, 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 Annual Report 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.

Real estate property net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $75.1 million, which was attributable to a $69.0 million increase in our NOI from our Retail and Other segment and a $6.1 million increase in our NOI in our Master Planned Communities segment.

Retail operating metrics continued to improve during the quarter. Sales per square foot (on a trailing twelve month basis) increased 2.4% over the third quarter of 2006 to $461. Occupancy in our Retail Company Portfolio increased to 93.2% at September 30, 2007, compared to 92.4% at September 30, 2006.

In our Master Planned Community segment, the sales pace of land for standard residential lots has declined in recent months. We expect an absence of demand for residential land to continue for the balance of 2007.

Effective January 1, 2007, Rouse Property Management, Inc., a taxable REIT subsidiary of TRCLP, was merged into GGMI, a taxable REIT subsidiary 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, 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we completed the Homart I acquisition (Note 1). This acquisition is expected to have a neutral impact on future earnings as the increased net income from the additional ownership in the properties is expected to be offset by a reduction of fees for development, asset management and leasing in addition to an increase in interest expense related to the additional debt obtained to finance the acquisition. This acquisition changes a number of consolidated revenue and expense items below, as the acquisition resulted in the consolidation of the operations of the properties acquired. Historically, the Company’s share of such operations was reflected as equity in income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. Segment operations also were impacted by the Homart I acquisition as an additional 50% share of the operations of the properties are included in the segment results after the purchase date. Accordingly, discussion of the operational results below has been limited to only those elements of the operating trends that are not a function of the Homart I acquisition.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 we acquired the minority ownership interest in two operating properties for a purchase price of approximately $13 million, four former Mervyn’s department stores for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18 million, and contributed approximately $91.4 million to our Brazilian joint venture for additional construction and acquisition purposes.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

Development activity remained strong in the quarter. As of September 30, 2007, we had eight redevelopment projects under construction each with budgeted projected expenditures in excess of $25 million, 16 new development projects under construction each with forecasted costs in excess of $15 million and 11 additional major planned developments. Developments in progress as reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, plus our share of Unconsolidated Properties, were approximately $1.4 billion at September 30, 2007. Future approved development spending is approximately $2.0 billion and is expected to be expended between 2007 and 2012.

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 have not changed during 2007 and such policies are incorporated herein by reference.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

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. In addition, as disclosed in the overview section above, as the Homart I acquisition changes all of segment-based revenue and expense items for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, the discussion of operations has been limited to only those items impacting revenue and expense in addition to the Homart I acquisition effects.

Higher effective rents, retail center occupancy and leased area across the portfolio contributed to the increase in minimum rents for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Retail center occupancy, excluding international properties and properties in redevelopment, was 93.2% at September 30, 2007 as compared to 92.4% at September 30, 2006. Mall and freestanding GLA for the retail properties, excluding international properties and properties in redevelopment, increased to 62,683,640 square feet at September 30, 2007 compared to 60,513,962 square feet at September 30, 2006.

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, although these leases still contain a minimum rent and a tenant recovery component, 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 Grand Canal Shoppes and Fashion Show had increased overage rents as a result of increased sales in the third quarter 2007 compared to the third quarter 2006.

Real estate taxes increased for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 partially due to a $1.6 million increase at Glenbrook Square resulting from a higher tax assessment and a $1.2 million increase Stonestown Galleria as the result of revised prior period assessments.

Other property operating costs increased primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in our Brazil joint venture primarily related to acquisitions. In addition, $1.2 million of additional operating expenses were incurred at Riverwalk Marketplace due to additional ground rent participation expense which is based on increased cash receipts. Such increases were partially offset by decreased property operating expenses across the remainder of the portfolio.

The provision for doubtful accounts increased primarily due to increased provisions at Riverwalk Marketplace, North Star Mall and Ala Moana Center. Such increases were partially offset by a decrease in the provision at Oakwood Center, which re-opened in October 2007 after being redeveloped (Note 8).

Although land sales and real estate property net operating income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to September 30, 2006, the national housing market continues to be weak with an absence of demand for residential land expected for the remainder of 2007.

The increase in land sales is primarily attributed to the timing of land sales at our Woodlands community, which resulted in an increase in NOI of $6.4 million. The number of residential and commercial acres sold at our Woodlands community increased to 151.4 acres for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 98.8 acres for the three months ended September 30, 2006. In addition, the Summerlin community increased NOI by $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. Such increases were partially offset by decreases in NOI at our Columbia and Fairwood communities of approximately $3.5 million.

(3)		Woodlands — Shown at 100%. Our share of Woodlands is 52.5%.

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, property management and other costs and general and administrative in the aggregate represent our costs of doing business and are generally not directly property-related costs. Management and other fees were relatively consistent compared to the third quarter of 2006. Property management and other costs increased slightly 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 decrease in general and administrative is due to a reduction of professional fees in the third quarter 2007.

The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in both fixed and variable rate debt in the third quarter of 2007, which was primarily a result of the funding of acquisition debt ($750 million) and the assumption of debt ($1.04 billion) related to the Homart I acquisition.

The increase in provision for income taxes was primarily the result of the recognition of potential interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded as the result of the adoption of FIN 48 (Note 5).

The decrease in equity in income (loss) of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates is primarily the result of an accrual of the Company’s 50% share of the verdict that was recorded by GGP/Homart II (Note 3) during the third quarter 2007.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

As noted in the overview section above, as the Homart I acquisition changes all operating revenues and expenses on a comparative basis, the discussion of operations below has been limited to only those items impacting revenues and expenses in addition to the Homart I acquisition effects.

Retail and Other Segment

Real estate property net operating income	$	1,754,645	$	1,649,818	$	104,827			6.4	%

As noted in the three month discussion above, higher effective rents, occupancy and leased area contributed to the increased minimum rents and tenant recoveries in 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The increase in overage rents is primarily attributable The Grand Canal Shoppes as a result of increased sales in 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Increased sales across the portfolio contributed to the remaining increase.

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 an increase in advertising revenue across the portfolio and lower allocations to minority interests as a result of certain acquisitions of our venture partners’ ownership shares since the third quarter of 2006.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, real estate taxes increased approximately $1.6 million at Glenbrook Square and $1.2 million at Stonestown Galleria, as noted in the discussion of the three month results of operations.

Other property operating costs increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to approximately $10.8 million of lower than expected insurance costs in 2006. Other property operating expenses also increased at Ala Moana Center, The Mall in Columbia and Riverwalk Marketplace. Lastly, expenses increased at our Brazil joint venture primarily as a result of acquisitions.

The provision for doubtful accounts decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the recognition of approximately $4.8 million as we recovered previously reserved tenant rents due to the business interruption insurance recoveries at Riverwalk Marketplace (Note 8). In addition, we reversed a $1.7 million provision at one of our consolidated properties as the amount due is now secured by a letter of credit.

Land sales declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, predominantly due to significant reductions at our Summerlin community. We expect the declining 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.

Management and other fees, property management and other costs and general and administrative in aggregate represent our costs of doing business and are generally not directly property-related costs. Management and other fees were relatively consistent with the first nine months of 2006. 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 (Note 6) in the first quarter 2007.

The increase in depreciation and amortization was partially offset by the completed depreciation of broadband equipment and other shorter-lived assets acquired or developed in the period 1998 to 2002 and a cumulative adjustment to the useful lives of certain assets.

The increase in interest expense is primarily due to higher debt balances in the third quarter of 2007 as discussed above. This increase is partially offset by higher capitalized interest earlier in the year. As a result of the increase in our development activities, we capitalized more interest 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 senior 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.

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 an approximate $300 million income tax benefit. Also impacting the change was the recognition of potential interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded as the result of the adoption of FIN 48 (Note 5).

The decrease in equity in income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates is primarily the result of an accrual of the Company’s 50% share of the verdict that was recorded by GGP/Homart II (Note 3) during the third quarter 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $412.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $451.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The decrease in total operating activities is primarily due to lower net operating income in our Master Planned Communities segment in 2007 and an increase in land/residential development and acquisitions expenditures, which are primarily related to our Master Planned Communities segment, to $191.5 million in 2007 from $156.8 million in 2006. These expenditures will vary from year to year based on the pace of development and expected sales.

Net cash provided by (used in) for working capital needs totaled ($8.3) million in 2007 and $3.6 million in 2006. The cash used for working capital needs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily the result of timing differences experienced in the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was ($1.44) billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $97.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Significant elements of the activity in 2007 as compared to 2006 are described below:

Net investing cash provided by (used in) our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates was ($253.2) million in 2007 and $453.7 million in 2006. The reduction in net cash is primarily attributed to the Homart I acquisition, and 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 and invested additional capital, including amounts from partners, to fund operations, new development and redevelopment activities and therefore did not have excess cash for distributions.

Cash used for acquisition/development of real estate and property additions/improvements was $1.2 billion in 2007 and $419.1 million in 2006. Expenditures in 2007 were primarily the approximate $950 million cash purchase price for the Homart I acquisition (Note 1), and other development and redevelopment activity. As of September 30, 2007, we had eight redevelopment projects under construction each with budgeted projected expenditures in excess of $25 million, 16 new development projects under construction with forecasted costs in excess of $15 million and 11 additional major planned developments. Developments in Progress per our Consolidated Balance Sheets, plus our share of Unconsolidated Properties, were approximately $1.4 billion at September 30, 2007. Future approved development spending is approximately $2.0 billion and is expected to be expended between 2007 and 2012.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1.01 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and ($567.4) million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Significant elements of the activity in 2007 as compared to 2006 are described below:

Distributions to common stockholders, holders of Common Units and holders of perpetual and convertible preferred units totaled $410.8 million in 2007 and $373.6 million in 2006. Dividends paid per common share were $1.35 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $1.23 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

New financings exceeded principal payments by $1.55 billion in 2007, while principal payments exceeded new financings by $97.7 million in 2006. The net financing activity in 2007 reflects the $750 million bank loan to fund the Homart I acquisition, and draws and repayments on the revolving credit facility as well as the issuance of the $1.55 billion Notes offering. In the first quarter of 2006, we refinanced the initial TRCLP acquisition funding. The decrease in deferred finance costs is attributable to the reduction in refinancing activity in 2007 compared to 2006.

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

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.

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 estimated or contingent liabilities, development activity 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 September 30, 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 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 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.

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.
