Item I. Business

General

The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers located throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). As of December 31, 2002, the Operating Partnership owned or had an ownership interest in 56 regional shopping centers, 21 community shopping centers and two development properties aggregating approximately 58 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). These 79 regional, community and development shopping centers are referred to hereinafter as the "Centers", unless the context otherwise requires. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company's management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, LLC, a single-member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Management Company, a California corporation (collectively, the "Macerich Management Companies") and Westcor Partners, LLC, a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Westcor Management, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company and Westcor Partners of Colorado, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (collectively, the "Westcor Management Companies"). The term "Macerich Management Companies" includes Macerich Property Management Company, a California corporation, prior to the merger with Macerich Property Management Company, LLC on March 29, 2001 and Macerich Manhattan Management Company, a California corporation which has ceased operations and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macerich Management Company.

The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation in September 1993 to continue and expand the shopping center operations of Mace Siegel, Arthur M. Coppola, Dana K. Anderson and Edward C. Coppola and certain of their business associates.

All references to the Company in this Form 10-K include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Recent Developments

A. Acquisitions

On June 10, 2002, the Company acquired The Oaks, a 1.1 million square foot super-regional mall in Thousand Oaks, California. The total purchase price was $152.5 million and was funded with $108.0 million of debt, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.15%, placed concurrently with the acquisition. The balance of the purchase price was funded by cash and borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

community shopping center or "urban village" properties that surround regional malls. Substantially all of Westcor's portfolio had been developed from the ground up.

Westcor's portfolio included nine regional and super-regional malls, including the Scottsdale Fashion Square and Chandler Fashion Center in the Phoenix area and FlatIron Crossing in Colorado's Denver- Boulder area and 18 urban villages or community centers. The aggregate gross leaseable area in this portfolio was approximately 14.1 million square feet in Arizona and Colorado. In addition, the portfolio included two retail properties under development, as well as rights to over 1,000 acres of undeveloped land. A total of ten of these properties are wholly-owned and 19 are joint venture interests. The total purchase price was approximately $1.475 billion including the assumption of $733 million in existing debt and the issuance of approximately $72 million of convertible preferred operating partnership units at a price of $36.55 per unit. Additionally, $18.9 million of partnership units of Westcor Realty Limited Partnership were issued to limited partners of Westcor which, subject to certain conditions, can be converted on a one for one basis into operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The balance of the purchase price was paid in cash which was provided primarily from a $380.0 million interim credit facility ("Interim Credit Facility") and a $250.0 million term loan ("Term Loan").

B. Equity Offerings

On November 27, 2002, the Company issued 15.2 million common shares with total net proceeds of $420.3 million. The proceeds of the offering were used to pay off the $380.0 million Interim Credit Facility and a portion of other acquisition related debt incurred under the Term Loan and the Company's revolving credit facility.

C. Refinancings

In July 2002, to finance a portion of the Westcor acquisition, the Company entered into a $380 million Interim Credit Facility bearing interest at an average interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% with a term of six months plus two six-month extension options and a $250 million Term Loan with an interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 3%, depending on the Company's overall leverage level, with a maturity of three years with two one-year extension options. At the same time, the Company replaced the existing $200 million revolving credit facility with a new $425 million revolving credit facility. This increased revolving credit facility has a three-year term plus a one-year extension option. The interest rate fluctuates from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. The Company used a portion of this new revolving credit facility to retire all of the outstanding 7.25% convertible subordinated debentures, which matured on December 15, 2002.

On October 21, 2002, the Company refinanced an existing loan at the recently-acquired Chandler Fashion Center, a super-regional mall in Chandler, Arizona with approximately 1.3 million square feet of gross leasable area. The new loan of $184 million has a fixed interest rate of 5.48% and matures in November 2012. The Company used a portion of the new loan proceeds to repay a $150 million

2 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

floating rate construction loan that was scheduled to mature on December 28, 2002 and the balance to repay a portion of the Interim Credit Facility.

D. Redevelopment and Development Activity

Macy's opened a 102,000 square foot store at Capitola Mall in California on May 3, 2002.

At Queens Center, the redevelopment and expansion continued with the ground breaking in June 2002. The project will increase the size of the center from 623,278 square feet to approximately 1 million square feet. Completion is planned in phases starting in 2004 with stabilization expected in 2005.

At Lakewood Mall, Target commenced building a two-level Target store in the location formerly occupied by Montgomery Ward. Target's opening is scheduled for Fall 2003.

At Redmond Town Center, Bon Marche began construction of a new department store scheduled to open in Fall 2003.

At Southern Hills Mall, construction commenced for the addition of a new 60,000 square foot Scheel's sporting goods store and a Barnes and Noble store scheduled to open in 2003.

In the third quarter of 2002, construction began at Scottsdale 101, a 629,000 square foot power center in north Phoenix and construction also commenced at La Encantada, a 253,972 square foot specialty center in Tucson, Arizona. Stabilization is projected to occur for both projects in 2004.

During October 2002, Macy's opened a 236,000 square foot store becoming the fifth department store at the super regional mall, Scottsdale Fashion Square.

E. Other Events

On March 19, 2002, the Company sold Boulder Plaza, a 159,238 square foot community center in Boulder, Colorado for $24.7 million. The proceeds from the sale were used for general corporate purposes.

On November 8, 2002, the Company purchased its joint venture partner's interest in Panorama City Associates, which owns Panorama Mall in Panorama, California. The purchase price was approximately $23.7 million.

On December 24, 2002, the former Montgomery Ward site at Pacific View Mall in Ventura, California was sold for approximately $15.4 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of the Term Loan.

On January 2, 2003, the Company sold its 67% interest in Paradise Village Gateway, a 296,153 square foot Phoenix area urban village, for approximately $29.4 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of the Term Loan.

The Shopping Center Industry

General

There are several types of retail shopping centers, which are differentiated primarily based on size and marketing strategy. Regional shopping centers generally contain in excess of 400,000 square feet of GLA and are typically anchored by two or more department or large retail stores ("Anchors") and are referred to as "Regional Shopping Centers" or "Malls". Regional Shopping Centers also typically contain numerous diversified retail stores ("Mall Stores"), most of which are national or regional retailers typically located along corridors connecting the Anchors. Community Shopping Centers, also referred to as "strip centers" or "urban villages" are retail shopping centers that are designed to attract local or neighborhood customers and are typically anchored by one or more supermarkets, discount department stores and/or drug stores. Community Shopping Centers typically contain 100,000 square feet to 400,000 square feet of GLA. In addition, freestanding retail stores are located along the perimeter of the shopping centers ("Freestanding Stores"). Anchors, Mall and Freestanding Stores and other tenants typically contribute funds for the maintenance of the common areas, property taxes, insurance, advertising and other expenditures related to the operation of the shopping center.

Regional Shopping Centers

A Regional Shopping Center draws from its trade area by offering a variety of fashion merchandise, hard goods and services and entertainment, often in an enclosed, climate controlled environment with convenient parking. Regional Shopping Centers provide an array of retail shops and entertainment facilities and often serve as the town center and the preferred gathering place for community, charity, and promotional events.

Regional Shopping Centers have generally provided owners with relatively stable growth in income despite the cyclical nature of the retail business. This stability is due both to the diversity of tenants and to the typical dominance of Regional Shopping Centers in their trade areas.

Regional Shopping Centers have different strategies with regard to price, merchandise offered and tenant mix, and are generally tailored to meet the needs of their trade areas. Anchor tenants are located along common areas in a configuration designed to maximize consumer traffic for the benefit of the Mall Stores. Mall GLA, which generally refers to gross leasable area contiguous to the Anchors for tenants other than Anchors, is leased to a wide variety of smaller retailers. Mall Stores typically account for the majority of the revenues of a Regional Shopping Center.

Community Shopping Centers

Community Shopping Centers are designed to attract local and neighborhood customers and are typically open-air shopping centers, with one or more supermarkets, drugstores or discount department stores. National retailers such as Kids-R-Us at Bristol Shopping Center and Mervyn's at Camelback Colonnade provide the Company's Community Shopping Centers with the opportunity to draw from a much larger trade area than a typical supermarket or drugstore anchored Community Shopping Center. Community shopping centers include the Company's specialty retail centers, which are designed as lifestyle centers.

Business of the Company

The Company has a four-pronged business strategy which focuses on the acquisition, leasing and management, redevelopment and development of Regional Shopping Centers.

4 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

Acquisitions. The Company focuses on well-located, quality regional shopping centers that are or can be dominant in their trade area and have strong capital appreciation potential. The Company subsequently improves operating performance and returns from these properties through leasing, management and redevelopment. Since its initial public offering ("IPO"), the Company has acquired interests in shopping centers nationwide. These acquisitions were identified and consummated by the Company's staff of acquisition professionals who are strategically located in Santa Monica, Dallas, Denver, and Atlanta. The Company believes that it is geographically well positioned to cultivate and maintain ongoing relationships with potential sellers and financial institutions and to act quickly when acquisition opportunities arise.

On June 10, 2002, the Company acquired The Oaks, a 1.1 million square foot super-regional mall in Thousand Oaks, California. Additionally on July 26, 2002, the Company acquired Westcor, whose portfolio included nine regional and super-regional malls as well as 18 urban villages with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 14.1 million square feet in Arizona and Colorado. In addition, the portfolio included two retail properties under development, as well as rights to over 1,000 acres of undeveloped land.

Leasing and Management

The Company believes that the shopping center business requires specialized skills across a broad array of disciplines for effective and profitable operations. For this reason, the Company has developed a fully integrated real estate organization with in-house acquisition, accounting, development, finance, leasing, legal, marketing, property management and redevelopment expertise. In addition, the Company emphasizes a philosophy of decentralized property management, leasing and marketing performed by on-site professionals. The Company believes that this strategy results in the optimal operation, tenant mix and drawing power of each Center as well as the ability to quickly respond to changing competitive conditions of the Center's trade area.

The Company believes that on-site property managers can most effectively operate the Centers. Each Center's property manager is responsible for overseeing the operations, marketing, maintenance and security functions at the Center. Property managers focus special attention on controlling operating costs, a key element in the profitability of the Centers, and seek to develop strong relationships with and to be responsive to the needs of retailers.

On a selective basis, the Company also does property management and leasing for third parties. The Company currently manages four malls for third party owners on a fee basis.

Similarly, the Company generally utilizes decentralized leasing and accordingly, most of its leasing managers are located on-site to better understand the market and the community in which a Center is located. Leasing managers are charged with more than the responsibility of leasing space. The Company continually assesses and fine tunes each Center's tenant mix, identifies and replaces underperforming tenants and seeks to optimize existing tenant sizes and configurations.

Redevelopment. One of the major components of the Company's growth strategy is its ability to redevelop acquired properties. For this reason, the Company has built a staff of redevelopment professionals who have primary responsibility for identifying redevelopment opportunities that will result in enhanced long-term financial returns and market position for the Centers. The redevelopment

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 5

professionals oversee the design and construction of the projects in addition to obtaining required governmental approvals.

Development. Through the Company's acquisition of Westcor and integration of the Westcor development team and pipeline, the Company is pursuing ground-up development projects on a selective basis. The Company believes it can supplement its strong acquisition, operations and redevelopment skills with the Westcor ground-up development expertise to further increase growth opportunities.

The Centers. As of December 31, 2002, the Centers consist of 56 Regional Shopping Centers, 21 Community Shopping Centers and two development properties aggregating approximately 58 million square feet of GLA. The 56 Regional Shopping Centers in the Company's portfolio average approximately 930,461 square feet of GLA and range in size from 2.1 million square feet of GLA at Lakewood Mall to 328,341 square feet of GLA at Panorama Mall. The Company's 21 Community Shopping Centers have an average of 215,609 square feet of GLA. The 56 Regional Shopping Centers presently include 236 Anchors totaling approximately 30.5 million square feet of GLA and approximately 8,225 Mall and Freestanding Stores totaling approximately 27.1 million square feet of GLA.

Total revenues, including joint ventures at their pro rata share of $212.7 million in 2002 and $171.1 million in 2001, increased to $591.6 million in 2002 from $503.6 million in 2001 primarily due to the acquisitions of The Oaks and the Westcor portfolio. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." No Center generated more than 10% of shopping center revenues during 2002 and 2001.

Cost of Occupancy

The Company's management believes that in order to maximize the Company's operating cash flow, the Centers' Mall Store tenants must be able to operate profitably. A major factor contributing to tenant profitability is cost of occupancy. The following table summarizes occupancy costs for Mall Store tenants in the Centers as a percentage of total Mall Store sales for the last three years:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2000		2001		2002

Minimum rents	7.3	%	7.7	%	8.4	%
Percentage rents	0.5	%	0.4	%	0.3	%
Expense recoveries(1)	3.0	%	3.1	%	3.4	%

Mall tenant occupancy costs	10.8	%	11.2	%	12.1	%

(1): Represents real estate tax and common area maintenance charges.

Competition

There are numerous owners and developers of real estate that compete with the Company in its trade areas. There are eight other publicly traded mall companies and several large private mall companies, any of which under certain circumstances could compete against the Company for an acquisition, an Anchor or a tenant. This results in competition for both acquisition of centers and for tenants to

6 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

occupy space. The existence of competing shopping centers could have a material impact on the Company's ability to lease space and on the level of rent that can be achieved. There is also increasing competition from other retail formats and technologies, such as factory outlet centers, power centers, discount shopping clubs, mail-order services, internet shopping and home shopping networks that could adversely affect the Company's revenues.

Major Tenants

The Centers derived approximately 93.3% of their total rents for the year ended December 31, 2002 from Mall and Freestanding Stores. One tenant accounted for approximately 5.1% of minimum rents of the Company, and no other single tenant accounted for more than 4.0% as of December 31, 2002.

The following tenants (including their subsidiaries) represent the 10 largest tenants in the Company's portfolio (including joint ventures) based upon minimum rents in place as of December 31, 2002:

Tenant	Number of Locations in the Portfolio	% of Total Minimum Rents as of December 31, 2002

The Limited, Inc.	195	5.1%
The Gap, Inc.	91	3.9%
AT&T Wireless Services (1)	16	2.4%
Foot Locker, Inc.	125	2.2%
J.C. Penney Company, Inc.	39	1.8%
Best Buy Co., Inc.	66	1.6%
Luxottica Group, Inc.	106	1.3%
Zale Corporation	89	1.3%
Barnes & Noble, Inc.	54	1.2%
Federated Department Stores	26	1.0%

(1): Includes AT&T Wireless Office headquarters located at Redmond Town Center.

Mall and Freestanding Stores

Mall and Freestanding Store leases generally provide for tenants to pay rent comprised of a fixed base (or "minimum") rent and a percentage rent based on sales. In some cases, tenants pay only a fixed minimum rent, and in some cases, tenants pay only percentage rents. Most leases for Mall and Freestanding Stores contain provisions that allow the Centers to recover their costs for maintenance of the common areas, property taxes, insurance, advertising and other expenditures related to the operations of the Center.

The Company uses tenant spaces 10,000 square feet and under for comparing rental rate activity. Tenant space 10,000 square feet and under in the portfolio at December 31, 2002, comprises 67.9% of all Mall and Freestanding Store space. The Company believes that to include space over 10,000 square feet would provide a less meaningful comparison.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 7

When an existing lease expires, the Company is often able to enter into a new lease with a higher base rent component. The average base rent for new Mall and Freestanding Store leases, 10,000 square feet and under, commencing during 2002 was $38.90 per square foot, or 26.9% higher than the average base rent for all Mall and Freestanding Stores (10,000 square feet and under) at December 31, 2002 of $30.66 per square foot.

The following table sets forth for the Centers the average base rent per square foot of Mall and Freestanding GLA, for tenants 10,000 square feet and under, as of December 31 for each of the past three years:

December 31,	Average Base Rent Per Square Foot(1)	Average Base Rent Per Sq. Ft. on Leases Commencing During the Year(2)	Average Base Rent Per Sq. Ft. on Leases Expiring During the Year(3)

2000	$27.09	$32.95	$28.56
2001	$28.13	$33.33	$27.12
2002	$30.66	$38.90	$31.06

(1): Average base rent per square foot is based on Mall and Freestanding Store GLA for spaces 10,000 square feet and under occupied as of December 31 for each of the Centers owned by the Company in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
(2): The base rent on lease signings during the year represents the actual rent to be paid on a per square foot basis during the first twelve months. Additionally, lease signings for the expansion area of Queens Center are excluded.
(3): The average base rent on leases expiring during the year represents the final year minimum rent, on a cash basis, for all tenant leases 10,000 square feet and under expiring during the year.

Bankruptcy and/or Closure of Retail Stores

A decision by an Anchor or another significant tenant to cease operations at a Center could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. The bankruptcy and/or closure of an Anchor, or its sale to a less desirable retailer, could adversely affect customer traffic in a Center and thereby reduce the income generated by that Center or otherwise adversely affect the Company's financial position. Furthermore, the closing of an Anchor could, under certain circumstances, allow certain other Anchors or other tenants to terminate their leases or cease operating their stores at the Center or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the Center. In addition, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations or dispositions in the retail industry could result in the loss of tenants at one or more Centers.

Retail stores at the Centers other than Anchors may also seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws and/or close stores, which could result in the termination of such tenants' leases and thus cause a reduction in the cash flow generated by the Centers. Although no single retailer accounts for greater than 5.1% of total minimum rents, the bankruptcy and/or closure of stores could result in decreased occupancy levels, reduced rental income or otherwise adversely impact the Centers. Although certain

8 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

tenants have filed for bankruptcy, the Company does not believe such filings and any subsequent closures of their stores will have a material adverse impact on its operations.

Lease Expirations

The following table shows scheduled lease expirations (for Centers owned as of December 31, 2002, except as otherwise noted) of Mall and Freestanding Stores 10,000 square feet and under for the next ten years, assuming that none of the tenants exercise renewal options:

Year Ending December 31,	Number of Leases Expiring (1)	Approximate GLA of Expiring Leases (2)	Leased GLA Represented by Expiring Leases (3)	Base Rent per Square Foot of Expiring Leases (2)

2003	902	1,287,181	12.79%	$29.27
2004	609	919,011	9.13%	$29.62
2005	644	1,064,553	10.58%	$30.64
2006	594	1,010,247	10.04%	$30.69
2007	557	990,862	9.85%	$30.15
2008	497	844,557	8.39%	$33.50
2009	386	704,407	7.00%	$34.29
2010	482	901,816	8.96%	$37.87
2011	532	1,107,747	11.01%	$36.86
2012	344	750,741	7.46%	$33.35

(1): Paradise Village Gateway is excluded from this table because it was sold on January 2, 2003.
(2): Includes joint ventures at pro rata share. Currently, 22% of leases have provisions for future consumer price index increases which are not reflected in ending lease rent.
(3): For leases 10,000 square feet and under.

Anchors

Anchors have traditionally been a major factor in the public's identification with Regional Shopping Centers. Anchors are generally department stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of shoppers. Although the Centers receive a smaller percentage of their operating income from Anchors than from Mall and Freestanding Stores, strong Anchors play an important part in maintaining customer traffic and making the Centers desirable locations for Mall and Freestanding Store tenants.

Anchors either own their stores, the land under them and in some cases adjacent parking areas, or enter into long-term leases with an owner at rates that are lower than the rents charged to tenants of Mall and Freestanding Stores. Each Anchor, which owns its own store, and certain Anchors which lease their stores, enter into reciprocal easement agreements with the owner of the Center covering among other things, operational matters, initial construction and future expansion.

Anchors accounted for approximately 6.7% of the Company's total rent for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or prior owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. Persons or entities who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of a release of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person or entity. Certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs") into the air and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with exposure to ACMs. In connection with the ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and development of real properties, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of such properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and therefore potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property.

Each of the Centers has been subjected to a Phase I audit (which involves review of publicly available information and general property inspections, but does not involve soil sampling or ground water analysis) completed by an environmental consultant.

Based on these audits, and on other information, the Company is aware of the following environmental issues that are reasonably possible to result in costs associated with future investigation or remediation, or in environmental liability:

•: Asbestos. The Company has conducted ACM surveys at various locations within the Centers. The surveys indicate that ACMs are present or suspected in certain areas, primarily vinyl floor tiles, mastics, roofing materials, drywall tape and joint compounds. The identified ACMs are generally non-friable, in good condition, and possess low probabilities for disturbance. At certain Centers where ACMs are present or suspected, however, some ACMs have been or may be classified as "friable," and ultimately may require removal under certain conditions. The Company has developed and implemented an operations and maintenance (O&M) plan to manage ACMs in place.
•: Underground Storage Tanks. Underground storage tanks ("USTs") are or were present at certain of the Centers, often in connection with tenant operations at gasoline stations or automotive tire, battery and accessory service centers located at such Centers. USTs also may be or have been present at properties neighboring certain Centers. Some of these tanks have either leaked or are suspected to have leaked. Where leakage has occurred, investigation, remediation, and monitoring costs may be incurred by the Company if responsible current or former tenants, or other responsible parties, are unavailable to pay such costs.
•: Chlorinated Hydrocarbons. The presence of chlorinated hydrocarbons such as perchloroethylene ("PCE") and its degradation byproducts have been detected at certain of

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 11

the Centers, often in connection with tenant dry cleaning operations. Where PCE has been detected, the Company may incur investigation, remediation and monitoring costs if responsible current or former tenants, or other responsible parties, are unavailable to pay such costs.

PCE has been detected in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza, formerly owned by a joint venture of which the Company was a 50% member. The property was sold on December 18, 1997. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control ("DTSC") advised the Company in 1995 that very low levels of Dichloroethylene ("1,2 DCE"), a degradation byproduct of PCE, had been detected in a municipal water well located ¹/4 mile west of the dry cleaners, and that the dry cleaning facility may have contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE into the water well. According to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level ("MCL") for 1,2 DCE which is permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per billion ("ppb"). The 1,2 DCE was detected in the water well at a concentration of 1.2 ppb, which is below the MCL. The Company has retained an environmental consultant and has initiated extensive testing of the site. The joint venture agreed (between itself and the buyer) that it would be responsible for continuing to pursue the investigation and remediation of impacted soil and groundwater resulting from releases of PCE from the former dry cleaner. A total of $211,092 and $67,873 have already been incurred by the joint venture for remediation, professional and legal fees for the years ending December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The joint venture has been sharing costs with former owners of the property.

The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos has been detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Center. Testing data conducted by professional environmental consulting firms indicates that the fireproofing is largely inaccessible to building occupants and is well adhered to the structural members. Additionally, airborne concentrations of asbestos were well within OSHA's permissible exposure limit ("PEL") of .1 fcc. The accounting for this acquisition included a reserve of $3.3 million to cover future removal of this asbestos, as necessary. The Company incurred $247,478 and $147,597 in remediation costs for the years ending December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. An additional $2.4 million remains reserved at December 31, 2002.

Dry cleaning chemicals have been detected in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of a former dry cleaning establishment at Bristol Center. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQCB") has been notified of the release. The Company has retained an environmental consultant who assessed and characterized the extent of the chemicals that are present in soil and groundwater and has developed a remedial action plan which was approved by the RWQCB. The Company has subsequently completed the remediation activities of the site in accordance with the approved workplan and has submitted a closure report requesting no further action. A reserve was established in 2002 for $680,000 of which $211,901 was paid in 2002.

Insurance

The Centers have comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance. The Company or the joint venture owner, as applicable, also currently carries earthquake insurance covering the Centers located in California. Such policies are subject to a deductible equal to 5% of the total insured value of each Center, a $100,000 per occurrence minimum and a combined annual aggregate loss limit of $200 million on the Centers located in California. Terrorism insurance is also

12 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

carried with policies subject to a $10 million deductible and a combined annual aggregate loss limit of $200 million. Management believes that such insurance policies have specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties.

Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with its first taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal and state income taxes on its net taxable income that it currently distributes to stockholders. Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on the Company's ability to meet certain dividend distribution tests, share ownership requirements and various qualification tests prescribed in the Code.

Employees

The Company and the management companies employ approximately 2,065 persons, including eight executive officers, personnel in the areas of acquisitions and business development (7), property management (737), leasing (80), redevelopment/construction (23), development (21), financial services (103) and legal affairs (43). In addition, in an effort to minimize operating costs, the Company generally maintains its own security staff (915) and maintenance staff (128). Approximately 12 of these employees are represented by a union. The Company believes that relations with its employees are good.

(1): The land underlying 66 of the Centers is owned in fee entirely by the Company, or, in the case of jointly-owned Centers, by the joint venture property partnership or limited liability company. All or part of the land underlying the remaining Centers is owned by third parties and leased to the Company, the property partnership or the limited liability company pursuant to long-term ground leases. Under the terms of a typical ground lease, the Company, the property partnership or the limited liability company pays rent for the use of the land and is generally responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the

building and improvements. In some cases, the Company, the property partnership or the limited liability company has an option or right of first refusal to purchase the land. The termination dates of the ground leases range from 2005 to 2139.

(2): Includes GLA attributable to anchor tenants (whether owned or non-owned) and mall and freestanding stores as of December 31, 2002.
(3): Sales are based on reports by retailers leasing mall and freestanding stores for the twelve months ending December 31, 2002 for tenants which have occupied such stores for a minimum of 12 months. Sales per square foot are based on tenants 10,000 square feet and under, excluding theaters, that occupied their space for the entire year.
(4): Portions of the land on which the Center is situated are subject to one or more ground leases.
(5): These properties have a vacant anchor tenant location. The Company is contemplating various replacement tenant/redevelopment opportunities for these vacant sites.
(6): On January 31, 2003, the Company purchased its joint venture partner's 50% interest in this Center for approximately $68.3 million in cash plus the assumption of the Company's joint venture partner's share of debt.
(7): On November 8, 2002, the Company purchased its joint venture partner's 50% interest in Panorama City Associates, which owns this Center.
(8): Montgomery Ward filed for bankruptcy on December 28, 2000 and announced the closing of all its stores including the seven located at the Centers. Montgomery Ward assigned two of these leases to Dillard's (at NorthPark Mall and SouthPark Mall) and one to Target (at Lakewood Mall). The Target store is scheduled to open in late 2003. The Dillard's at North Park Mall is scheduled to open in the summer of 2003. The Dillard's at South Park is planned for a 2004 opening.
(9): The office portion of this mixed-use development does not have retail sales.
(10): Federated Department Stores is scheduled to open a new 110,000 square foot Bon Marche store at Redmond Town Center in the fall of 2003.
(11): The Company sold its 67% interest in the partnership that owns Paradise Village Gateway for approximately $29.4 million on January 2, 2003.
(12): Tenant spaces have been intentionally held off the market and remain vacant because of major redevelopment plans. As a result, the Company believes the percentage of mall and freestanding GLA leased and the sales per square foot at these major redevelopment properties is not meaningful data. At Crossroads Mall in Boulder, Colorado, Sears closed in January, 2003.
(13): Prescott Gateway opened in the spring of 2002.
(14): Includes anticipated GLA of development property.

Mortgage Debt

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the mortgages encumbering the Centers, including those Centers in which the Company has less than a 100% interest. The information set forth below is as of December 31, 2002.

Debt premiums represent the excess of the fair value of debt over the principal value of debt assumed in various acquisitions subsequent to March, 1994 (with interest rates ranging from 3.81% to 6.26%). The debt premiums are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt on a straight-lined basis, which approximates the effective interest method. The balances below include the unamortized premiums as of December 31, 2002.

20 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

Notes:

(1): The annual debt service payment represents the payment of principal and interest. In addition, contingent interest, as defined in the loan agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the amount by which the property's gross receipts (as defined in the loan agreement) exceeds a base amount specified therein. Contingent interest expense recognized by the Company was $882,311, $583,751 and $416,814 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
(2): This note was issued at a discount. The discount is being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the unamortized discount was $264,433 and $297,481, respectively.
(3): This loan is cross-collateralized by Green Tree Mall, Crossroads Mall-Oklahoma and the Centre at Salisbury.
(4): This loan was issued on July 10, 2001 for $89.0 million, and may be increased up to $96.0 million subject to certain conditions.
(5): Concurrent with the acquisition of the mall, the Company placed a $108.0 million loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.15% and maturing July 1, 2004 with three consecutive one year options. $92.0 million of the loan is at LIBOR plus 0.7% and $16.0 million is at LIBOR plus 3.75%. This variable rate debt is covered by an interest rate cap agreement over two years which effectively prevents the LIBOR interest rate from exceeding 7.10%. At December 31, 2002, the total weighted average interest rate was 2.58%.
(6): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $1.4 million.
(7): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $0.9 million.
(8): This represents a construction loan which shall not exceed $51.0 million bearing an interest rate at LIBOR plus 2%. At December 31, 2002, the weighted average interest rate was 3.4%.
(9): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $3.2 million.
(10): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $1.9 million.
(11): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $1.6 million.
(12): This represents a construction loan which shall not exceed $46.3 million bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. At December 31, 2002, the total interest rate was 3.5%.
(13): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $0.6 million.
(14): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $0.3 million.
(15): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $0.2 million.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 21

(16): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $0.3 million.
(17): Reflects the Company's pro rata share of debt.
(18): This loan was interest only until December 31, 2001. Effective January 1, 2002, monthly principal and interest of $450,150 are payable through maturity. The debt is cross-collateralized by Kitsap Mall and Kitsap Place.
(19): In connection with the acquisition of this property, the joint venture assumed $127.0 million of collateralized fixed rate notes (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at an average fixed rate of 7.20% and mature in August 2005. The Notes require the joint venture to deposit all cash flow from the property operations with a trustee to meet its obligations under the Notes. Cash in excess of the required amount, as defined, is released. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $750,000 of restricted cash deposited with the trustee at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.
(20): On July 28, 2000, the joint venture placed a $16.1 million floating rate note on the property bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and maturing July 2003. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the total interest rate was 3.75% and 4.38%, respectively.
(21): In connection with the acquisition of these Centers, the joint venture assumed $485.0 million of mortgage notes payable which are collateralized by the properties. At acquisition, the $300.0 million fixed rate portion of this debt reflected a fair value of $322.7 million, which included an unamortized premium of $22.7 million. This premium is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the unamortized balance of the debt premium was $10.7 million and $13.5 million, respectively. This debt is due in May 2006 and requires monthly payments of $1.9 million. $184.5 million of this debt is due in May 2003 and requires monthly interest payments at a variable weighted average rate (based on LIBOR) of 1.92% and 2.39% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This variable rate debt is covered by interest rate cap agreements, which effectively prevents the interest rate from exceeding 11.53%. Management of this joint venture expects to be successful in refinancing the $184.5 million of debt which is due in May 2003.

On April 12, 2000, the joint venture issued $138.5 million of additional mortgage notes, which are collateralized by the properties and are due in May 2006. $57.1 million of this debt requires fixed monthly interest payments of $387,000 at a weighted average rate of 8.13% while the floating rate notes of $81.4 million require monthly interest payments at a variable weighted average rate (based on LIBOR) of 1.79% and 2.27% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This variable rate debt is covered by an interest rate cap agreement which effectively prevents the interest rate from exceeding 11.83%.
(22): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $35,000.
(23): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $1.0 million.
(24): This represents a construction loan which shall not exceed $13.3 million bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. At December 31, 2002, the weighted average interest rate was 3.57%.
(25): At December 31, 2002, the unamortized premium was $1.9 million.
(26): This represents a construction loan which shall not exceed $35.0 million bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.60%. At December 31, 2002, the total interest rate was 3.04%.
(27): This represents a construction loan which shall not exceed $17.0 million bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. At December 31, 2002, the total interest rate was 3.55%.
(28): This note originally matured on October 1, 2002. The Company has extended this note to January 1, 2005 at a fixed interest rate of 5.42%.
(29): This note was assumed at acquisition. The loan consists of 14 tranches, with a range of maturities from 36 months (with two 18-month extension options) to 60 months. The variable rate debt ranges from LIBOR plus 60 basis points to LIBOR plus 250 basis points, and fixed rate debt ranges from 5.01% to 6.18%. An interest rate swap was entered into to convert $1.5 million of floating rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 3.97% to a fixed rate of 5.39%. The interest rate swap has been designated as a hedge in accordance with SFAS 133. Additionally, interest rate caps were entered into on a portion of the debt and reverse interest rate caps were simultaneously sold to offset the effect of the interest rate cap agreements. These interest rate caps do not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133.
(30): The property has a permanent interest only loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 0.92%. At December 31, 2002, the total interest rate was 2.30%. This variable rate debt is covered by an interest rate cap agreement which effectively prevents the interest rate from exceeding 8%.
(31): This loan is interest only bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.30%. At December 31, 2002, the total interest rate was 4.68%. This variable rate debt is covered by an interest rate cap agreement which effectively prevents the interest rate from exceeding 8%. The loan is collateralized by the Company's interest in the FlatIron Crossing shopping center.

(39): This note was assumed at acquisition. The loan consists of 14 tranches, with a range of maturities from 36 months (with two 18-month extension options) to 60 months. The variable rate debt ranges from LIBOR plus 60 basis points to LIBOR plus 250 basis points, and fixed rate debt ranges from 5.01% to 6.18%. An interest rate swap was entered into to convert $11.4 million of floating rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 3.97% to a fixed rate of 5.39%. The interest rate swap has been designated as a hedge in accordance with SFAS 133. Additionally, interest rate caps were entered into on a portion of the debt and reverse interest rate caps were simultaneously sold to offset the effect of the interest rate cap agreements. These interest rate caps do not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133.

The Company had a credit facility of $200.0 million with a maturity of July 26, 2002 with a right to extend the facility for one year subject to certain conditions. The interest rate on such credit facility fluctuated between 1.35% and 1.80% over LIBOR, depending on leverage levels. As of December 31, 2001, $159.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit at an interest rate of 3.65%. On July 26, 2002, the Company replaced the $200.0 million credit facility with a new $425.0 million revolving line of credit. This increased revolving line of credit has a three-year term plus a one-year extension. The interest rate fluctuates from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. As of December 31, 2002, $344.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility at an average interest rate of 4.72%. The Company, through its acquisition of Westcor, has an interest rate swap with a $50.0 million notional amount. The swap matures December 1, 2003, and was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap will serve to reduce exposure to interest rate risk effectively converting the LIBOR rate on $50.0 million of the Company's variable interest rate borrowings to a fixed rate of 3.215%. The swap is reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Net receipts or payments under the agreement will be recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.

Concurrent with the acquisition of Westcor, the Company placed a $380.0 million Interim Credit Facility with a term of six months, plus two six-month extension options bearing interest at an average rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and a $250.0 million Term Loan with a maturity of three years with two one-year extension options and with an interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. On November 27, 2002, the entire Interim Credit Facility was paid off from the proceeds of the November 2002 equity offering

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 23

(see "Recent Developments"). At December 31, 2002, $204.8 million of the Term Loan was outstanding at an interest rate of 4.78%.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2002, the Company has obtained $7.2 million in letters of credit guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations relating to the Centers. The Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the Company.

During 1997, the Company issued and sold $161.4 million of convertible subordinated debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures, which were sold at par, bore interest at 7.25% annually (payable semi-annually) and were convertible into common stock at any time, on or after 60 days, from the date of issue at a conversion price of $31.125 per share. In November and December 2000, the Company purchased and retired $10.6 million of the Debentures. The Company recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million related to the transaction. In December 2001, the Company purchased and retired an additional $25.7 million of the Debentures. The Debentures matured on December 15, 2002 and were callable by the Company after June 15, 2002 at par plus accrued interest. On December 13, 2002, the Debentures were repaid in full using the Company's revolving credit facility.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Macerich Management Companies, the Westcor Management Companies and their respective affiliates are not currently involved in any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against such entities or the Centers, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. For information about certain environmental matters, see "Business—Environmental Matters."

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

The following sets forth selected financial data for the Company on a historical basis. The following data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements (and the notes thereto) of the Company and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" each included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

The Selected Financial Data is presented on a consolidated basis. The limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (not owned by the REIT) are reflected as minority interest. Centers and entities in which the Company does not have a controlling ownership interest (Panorama Mall, North Valley Plaza, Broadway Plaza, Manhattan Village, MerchantWired, LLC, Pacific Premier Retail Trust, SDG Macerich Properties, L.P., West Acres Shopping Center and certain Centers and entities in the Westcor portfolio) are referred to as the "Joint Venture Centers." Effective March 29, 2001, Macerich Property Management Company merged with and into Macerich Property Management Company, LLC ("MPMC, LLC"). MPMC, LLC is a single-member Delaware limited liability company and is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. The ownership structure of Macerich Management Company has remained unchanged. The Joint Venture Centers and the Macerich Management Companies (exclusive of MPMC, LLC) are reflected in the selected financial data under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the net income from the Joint Venture Centers and the Macerich Management Companies that is allocable to the Company is included in the statement of operations as "Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures and management companies." Effective March 29, 2001, the Company consolidated the accounts for MPMC, LLC.

(1): On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets such as acquired in-place leases. The Company has determined that the impact of SFAS 141 on acquisitions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2002 was to recognize an additional $1.9 million of revenue, including $0.8 million from the joint ventures at pro rata and $0.2 million of depreciation expense, including $0.1 million from the joint ventures at pro rata.
(2): Unconsolidated joint ventures include all Centers and entities in which the Company does not have a controlling ownership interest and for Macerich Management Company and Macerich Manhattan Management Company for all periods presented and for Macerich Property Management Company through March 28, 2001. Effective March 29, 2001, the Macerich Property Management Company merged with and into Macerich Property Management Company, LLC ("MPMC, LLC"). The Company accounts for the Macerich Management Companies (exclusive of MPMC, LLC) and joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Effective March 29, 2001, the Company consolidated the accounts for MPMC, LLC.
(3): "Minority Interest" reflects the ownership interest in the Operating Partnership or other unconsolidated entities not owned by the REIT.
(4): In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1999. This bulletin modified the timing of revenue recognition for percentage rent received from tenants. This change will defer recognition of a significant amount of percentage rent for the first three calendar quarters into the fourth quarter. The Company applied this change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2000. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle at the adoption date of January 1, 2000, including the pro rata share of joint ventures of $0.8 million, was approximately $1.8 million. If the Company had recorded percentage rent using the methodology prescribed in SAB 101, the Company's net income available to common stockholders would have been reduced by $1.3 million or $0.02 per diluted share and $1.1 million or $0.025 per diluted share for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(5): In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Company adopted SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002. The Company sold Boulder Plaza on March 19, 2002 and in accordance with SFAS 144 the results of Boulder Plaza for the periods from January 1, 2002 to March 19, 2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 have been reclassified into "discontinued operations". Total revenues associated with Boulder Plaza was approximately $0.5 million for the period January 1, 2002 to March 19, 2002 and $2.1 million, $2.7 million, $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(6): Earnings per share is based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128") for all years presented.
(7): Funds from Operations ("FFO") represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales or write-down of assets and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation on personal property and amortization of loan and financial instrument costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities are calculated on the same basis. In calculating its FFO, the Company also excluded $1.9 million, including the pro rata share of joint ventures of $0.8 million, of minimum rent recognized in 2002 pursuant to SFAS No. 141. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. For the reconciliation of FFO to net income see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Funds from Operations."

The computation of FFO—diluted and weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted includes the effect of outstanding common stock options and restricted stock using the treasury method. The convertible debentures were dilutive for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999 and were included in the FFO calculation. The convertible debentures were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 1998 amd were not included in the FFO calculation. On February 25, 1998, the Company sold $100 million of its Series A Preferred Stock. On June 16, 1998, the Company sold $150 million of its Series B Preferred Stock. The preferred stock can be converted on a one-for-one basis for common stock. The preferred stock was dilutive to FFO in 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and the preferred stock and the convertible debentures were dilutive to net income in 1999.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General Background and Performance Measurement

The Company believes that an important measure of its operating performance is Funds from Operations ("FFO"). FFO is defined as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales or write-down of assets and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation on personal property and amortization of loan and financial instrument costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities are calculated on the same basis. In calculating its FFO, the Company excluded minimum rent recognized in 2002 pursuant to SFAS No. 141. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. For the reconciliation of FFO to net income, see "Funds from Operations."

Percentage rents generally increase or decrease with changes in tenant sales. As leases roll over, however, a portion of historical percentage rent is often converted to minimum rent. It is therefore common for percentage rents to decrease as minimum rents increase. Accordingly, in discussing financial performance, the Company combines minimum and percentage rents in order to better measure revenue growth.

The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. The following discussion compares the activity for the year ended December 31, 2002 to results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001. Also included is a comparison of the activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 to the results for the year ended December 31, 2000. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

among other things, competition from other companies, retail formats and technologies, risks of real estate redevelopment, development, acquisitions and dispositions; governmental actions and initiatives (including legislative and regulatory changes); environmental and safety requirements; and terrorist activities that could adversely affect all of the above factors. The Company will not update any forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking information.

Statement on Critical Accounting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") recently issued disclosure guidance for "critical accounting policies." The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

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 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgements on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectable accounts, impairment of long-lived assets and estimates for environmental matters. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.

Revenue Recognition:

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease. The difference between the amount of rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the "straight lining of rent adjustment." Currently, 22% of the mall and freestanding leases contain provisions for CPI rent increases periodically throughout the term of the lease. The Company believes that using CPI increases, rather than fixed contractual rent increases, results in revenue recognition that more closely matches the cash revenue from each lease and will provide more consistent rent growth throughout the term of the leases. Percentage rents are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101. Recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.

Property:

Costs related to the development, redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest incurred or imputed on development, redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized until construction is substantially complete.

Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which includes HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc. are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Realized gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.

30 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Buildings and improvements		5-40 years
Tenant improvements		initial term of related lease
Equipment and furnishings		5-7 years

The Company accounts for all acquisitions entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 in accordance with SFAS 141. The Company will determine a fair value for assets and liabilities acquired, which generally consist of land, buildings, acquired in-place leases and debt. Acquired in-place leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates over the remaining lease term. The fair value of debt is determined based upon the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates for similar debt and the face value of the debt over the remaining term of the debt.

When the Company acquires real estate properties, the Company allocates the components of these acquisitions using relative fair values computed using its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the amount of costs allocated between land and different categories of land improvements as well as the amount of costs assigned to individual properties in multiple property acquisitions. These allocations also impact depreciation expense and gains or losses recorded on future sales of properties.

The Company assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of its long-lived assets by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenants' ability to perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The Company may recognize an impairment loss if the income stream is not sufficient to cover its investment. Such a loss would be determined as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of a center.

Deferred Charges:

Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. Cost relating to financing of shopping center properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The range of the terms of the agreements are as follows:


Deferred lease costs		1-15 years
Deferred financing costs		1-15 years

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

Debt guarantees:

The Company has an ownership interest in a number of joint ventures as detailed in Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. The Company accounts for those investments using the equity method of accounting and those investments are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company as "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and the Management Companies." A pro rata share of the mortgage debt on these properties is shown in Note 6 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. In addition, the

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 31

following joint ventures also have debt that could become recourse debt to the Company or its subsidiaries, in excess of its pro rata share, should the partnership be unable to discharge the obligations of the related debt:

Asset/Property	Maximum amount of debt principal that could be recourse to the Company	Maturity Date

Boulevard Shops	$9,648	1/1/2004
Chandler Festival	16,101	4/27/2004
Chandler Gateway	14,752	9/20/2004
Shops at Gainey Village	22,684	4/26/2004

Total	$63,185

32 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

The following table reflects the Company's acquisitions in 2002. There were no acquisitions in 2001 or 2000.

Property/Entity	Date Acquired	Location

The Oaks	June 10, 2002	Thousand Oaks, California
Westcor Realty Limited Partnership	July 26, 2002	Nine regional and super-regional malls in Phoenix and Colorado and 18 urban villages or community centers. The aggregate gross leaseable area was approximately 14.1 million square feet. Additionally, the portfolio included two retail properties under development, as well as rights to over 1,000 acres of undeveloped land.

The financial statements include the results of these above properties/entities for periods subsequent to their acquisition.

On September 30, 2000, Manhattan Village, a 551,847 square foot, regional shopping center, which was owned 10% by the Operating Partnership, was sold. The joint venture sold the property for $89.0 million, including a note receivable from the buyer for $79.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 8.75% payable monthly, until its maturity date of September 30, 2001. On December 28, 2001, the note receivable was paid down by $5.0 million and the maturity date was extended to September 30, 2002 at a new fixed interest rate of 9.50%. On July 2, 2002, the note receivable of $74.0 million was paid off in full.

On December 14, 2001, Villa Marina Marketplace, a 448,262 square foot community shopping center located in Marina del Rey, California, a wholly-owned property of the Company, was sold. The center was sold for approximately $99.0 million, including the assumption of the existing mortgage of $58.0 million, which resulted in a $24.7 million gain. The Company used approximately $26 million of the net proceeds from this sale to retire $25.7 million of its outstanding convertible subordinated debentures due December 2002. The remaining balance of the proceeds was used for general corporate purposes.

On March 19, 2002, the Company sold Boulder Plaza, a 159,238 square foot community center in Boulder, Colorado for $24.7 million. The proceeds from the sale were used for general corporate purposes.

On July 26, 2002, the Operating Partnership acquired Westcor Realty Limited Partnership and its affiliated companies ("Westcor"). The total purchase price was approximately $1.475 billion including the assumption of $733 million in existing debt and the issuance of approximately $72 million of convertible preferred operating partnership units at a price of $36.55 per unit.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 33

Additionally, $18.9 million of partnership units of Westcor Realty Limited Partnership were issued to limited partners of Westcor which, subject to certain conditions, can be converted on a one for one basis into operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The balance of the purchase price was paid in cash which was provided primarily from the $380.0 Interim Credit Facility with a term of six months plus two six-month extension options bearing interest at an average rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and the $250.0 million Term Loan with a maturity of three years with two one-year extension options and with an interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level.

On December 24, 2002, the former Montgomery Wards site at Pacific View Mall in Ventura, California was sold for approximately $15.4 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of the Term Loan.

A portion of the Westcor portfolio are joint ventures and the properties are reflected using the equity method of accounting. The results of these acquisitions are reflected in the consolidated results of operations of the Company in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures and the management companies.

Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred due to the acquisition of The Oaks and the Westcor portfolio during 2002. Many factors impact the Company's ability to acquire additional properties, including the availability and cost of capital, the Company's overall debt to market capitalization level, interest rates and the availability of potential acquisition targets that meet the Company's criteria. Crossroads Mall-Boulder, Parklane Mall and Queens Center are currently under redevelopment and are referred to herein as the "Redevelopment Centers." All other Centers, excluding the Redevelopment Centers and the two development properties, are referred to herein as the "Same Centers," unless the context otherwise requires.

Revenues include rents attributable to the accounting practice of straight-lining of rents which requires rent to be recognized each year in an amount equal to the average rent over the term of the lease, including fixed rent increases over that period. The amount of straight-lined rents, included in consolidated revenues, recognized in 2002 was $1.2 million compared to ($0.1) million in 2001 and $0.9 million in 2000. Additionally, the Company recognized through equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, $2.3 million as its pro rata share of straight-lined rents from joint ventures in 2002 compared to $1.4 million in 2001 and $2.2 million in 2000. These variances resulted from the Company structuring the majority of its new leases using annual Consumer Price Index ("CPI") increases, which generally do not require straight-lining treatment and are offset by increases of $2.8 million relating to the acquisitions of The Oaks and Westcor portfolio during 2002. Currently, 22% of the mall and freestanding leases contain provisions for CPI rent increases periodically throughout the term of the lease. The Company believes that using CPI increases, rather than fixed contractual rent increases, results in revenue recognition that more closely matches the cash revenue from each lease and will provide more consistent rent growth throughout the term of the leases.

The Company's historical growth in revenues, net income and Funds From Operations have been closely tied to the acquisition and redevelopment of shopping centers. Many factors, including the

34 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

availability and cost of capital, the Company's total amount of debt outstanding, interest rates and the availability of attractive acquisition targets, among others, will affect the Company's ability to acquire and redevelop additional properties in the future. The Company may not be successful in pursuing acquisition opportunities and newly acquired properties may not perform as well as expected in terms of achieving the anticipated financial and operating results. Increased competition for acquisitions may impact adversely the Company's ability to acquire additional properties on favorable terms. Expenses arising from the Company's efforts to complete acquisitions, redevelop properties or increase its market penetration may have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the following describes some of the other significant factors that may impact the Company's future results of operations.

General Factors Affecting the Centers; Competition: Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk that may affect the ability of the Centers to generate sufficient revenues to meet operating and other expenses, including debt service, lease payments, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, and to make distributions to the Company and the Company's stockholders. Income from shopping center properties may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including: the national economic climate; the regional and local economy (which may be adversely impacted by plant closings, industry slowdowns, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, terrorist activities, and other factors); local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods and the availability and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants); perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center; and increased costs of maintenance, insurance and operations (including real estate taxes). A significant percentage of the Centers are located in California and the Westcor centers are concentrated in Arizona. To the extent that economic or other factors affect California or Arizona (or their respective regions generally) more severely than other areas of the country, the negative impact on the Company's economic performance could be significant. There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the Centers in attracting tenants to lease space, and an increasing number of new retail formats and technologies other than retail shopping centers that compete with the Centers for retail sales (see "Business-Competition"). Increased competition could adversely affect the Company's revenues. Income from shopping center properties and shopping center values are also affected by such factors as applicable laws and regulations, including tax, environmental, safety and zoning laws (see "Business-Environmental Matters"), interest rate levels and the availability and cost of financing.

Dependence on Tenants: The Company's revenues and funds available for distribution would be adversely affected if a significant number of the Company's lessees were unable (due to poor operating results, bankruptcy, terrorist activities or other reasons) to meet their obligations, if the Company were unable to lease a significant amount of space in the Centers on economically favorable terms, or if for any reason, the Company were unable to collect a significant amount of rental payments. A decision by a department store or another significant tenant to cease operations at a Center could also have an adverse effect on the Company. In addition, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or bankruptcies in the retail industry could result in the loss of tenants at one or more Centers. (See "Business-Bankruptcy and/or Closure of Retail Stores.") Furthermore, if the store sales of retailers operating in the Centers were to decline sufficiently, tenants might be unable to pay their minimum rents or expense recovery charges. In the event of a default by a lessee, the Center may also experience delays and costs in enforcing its rights as lessor.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 35

Real Estate Development Risks: Through the Company's acquisition of Westcor, its business strategy has expanded to include the selective development and construction of retail properties. Any development, redevelopment and construction activities that the Company undertakes will be subject to the risks of real estate development, including lack of financing, construction delays, environmental requirements, budget overruns, sunk costs and lease-up. Furthermore, occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable. Real estate development activities are also subject to risks relating to the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. If any of the above events occur, the ability to pay distributions and service the Company's indebtedness could be adversely affected.

Assets and Liabilities

Total assets increased to $3.7 billion at December 31, 2002 compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2001 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2000. During that same period, total liabilities were $1.6 billion in 2000 and $1.6 billion in 2001 and increased to $2.4 billion in 2002. These changes were primarily a result of the acquisitions of The Oaks and Westcor portfolio in 2002 and various debt and equity transactions.

Recent Developments

A. Acquisitions

On July 26, 2002, the Operating Partnership acquired Westcor Realty Limited Partnership and its affiliated companies ("Westcor"). Prior to this acquisition, Westcor was a privately-owned, fully integrated real estate operating company headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Westcor historically focused on the development, ownership and management of regional malls and the complementary community shopping center or "urban village" properties that surround regional malls. Substantially all of Westcor's portfolio had been developed from the ground up.

Westcor's portfolio included nine regional and super-regional malls, including the Scottsdale Fashion Square and Chandler Fashion Center in the Phoenix area and FlatIron Crossing in Colorado's Denver-Boulder area and 18 urban villages or community centers. The aggregate gross leaseable area in this portfolio was approximately 14.1 million square feet in Arizona and Colorado. In addition, the portfolio included two retail properties under development, as well as rights to over 1,000 acres of undeveloped land. A total of ten of these properties are wholly-owned and 19 are joint venture interests. The total purchase price was approximately $1.475 billion including the assumption of $733 million in existing debt and the issuance of approximately $72 million of convertible preferred operating partnership units at a price of $36.55 per unit. Additionally, $18.9 million of partnership units of Westcor Realty Limited Partnership were issued to limited partners of Westcor which, subject to certain conditions, can be converted on a one for one basis into operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The balance of the purchase price was paid in cash which was provided primarily from the $380.0 million Interim Credit Facility and the $250.0 million Term Loan.

36 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

B. Equity Offerings

C. Refinancings

In July 2002, to finance a portion of the Westcor acquisition, the Company entered into the $380 million Interim Credit Facility bearing interest at an average interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% with a term of six months plus two six-month extension options and a $250 million Term Loan with an interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 3%, depending on the Company's overall leverage level, with a maturity of three years with two one-year extension options. At the same time, the Company replaced the existing $200 million revolving credit facility with a new $425 million revolving credit facility. This increased revolving credit facility has a three-year term plus a one-year extension option. The interest rate fluctuates from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. The Company used a portion of this new revolving credit facility to retire all of the outstanding 7.25% convertible subordinated debentures, which matured on December 15, 2002.

D. Redevelopment and Development Activity

Macy's opened a 102,000 square foot store at Capitola Mall in California on May 3, 2002.

At Lakewood Mall, Target commenced building a two-level Target store in the location formerly occupied by Montgomery Ward. Target's opening is scheduled for Fall 2003.

At Redmond Town Center, Bon Marche began construction of a new department store scheduled to open in Fall 2003.

At Southern Hills Mall, construction commenced for the addition of a new 60,000 square foot Scheel's sporting goods store and a Barnes and Noble store scheduled to open in 2003.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 37

During October 2002, Macy's opened a 236,000 square foot store becoming the fifth department store at the dominant super regional mall, Scottsdale Fashion Square.

E. Other Events

On March 19, 2002, the Company sold Boulder Plaza, a 159,238 square foot community center in Boulder, Colorado for $24.7 million. The proceeds from the sale were used for general corporate purposes.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

Revenues

Minimum and percentage rents increased by 15.6% to $245.4 million in 2002 from $212.2 million in 2001. Approximately $7.5 million of the increase is attributed to the Same Centers primarily due to releasing space at higher rents, $7.1 million of the increase relates to the acquisition of The Oaks, $0.7 million relates to the Company acquiring 50% of its joint venture partner's interest in Panorama and $28.3 million relates to the Westcor portfolio. This is offset by a $9.9 million decrease relating to the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace in 2001 and a $1.8 million decrease relating to the Redevelopment Centers.

On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets such as acquired in-place leases. The Company has determined that the impact of SFAS 141 on acquisitions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2002 was to recognize an additional $1.1 million of consolidated revenue which is included in minimum rents.

Tenant recoveries increased to $121.5 million in 2002 from $108.7 million in 2001. Approximately $4.1 million of the increase is attributable to the acquisition of The Oaks, $10.3 million relates to the Westcor portfolio and $0.5 million relates to the Same Centers. This is partially offset by $2.8 million relating to decreases from the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace.

38 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

Expenses

Shopping center and operating expenses increased to $129.4 million in 2002 compared to $110.3 million in 2001. The increase is a result of $5.0 million of increased property taxes, insurance and other recoverable and non-recoverable expenses at the Same Centers. Additionally, effective March 29, 2001, the Macerich Property Management Company merged with and into Macerich Property Management Company, LLC ("MPMC, LLC"). Expenses for MPMC, LLC for periods commencing March 29, 2001, are now consolidated and represent $1.2 million of the change. Prior to March 29, 2001, MPMC, LLC was an unconsolidated entity accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Oaks accounted for $4.2 million of the increase in expenses, $10.9 million of the increase related to Westcor and $0.7 million relates to the Redevelopment Centers. These increases are offset by decreases of approximately $2.9 million related to the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace.

REIT general and administrative expenses increased to $8.3 million in 2002 from $6.8 million in 2001, primarily due to increases in professional services, travel expenses and stock-based compensation expense.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $122.9 million in 2002 from $109.6 million in 2001. Approximately $18.4 million of the increase is related to the debt from the Westcor transaction and $1.8 million from the acquisition of The Oaks. This increase is offset by decreases of approximately $4.0 million related to the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace and approximately $0.9 million related to the payoff of debt in 2001. In addition, the interest expense relating to the debentures paid off in December 2002 reduced interest expense by $2.3 million in 2002 compared to 2001. Capitalized interest was $7.8 million in 2002, up from $5.7 million in 2001.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $78.7 million in 2002 from $65.6 million in 2001. Approximately $3.6 million relates to additional capital costs at the Same Centers, $2.3 million relates to the acquisition of The Oaks and $7.6 million relates to Westcor. This increase is offset by a decrease of $2.3 million from the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace.

Minority Interest

The minority interest represents the 24.7% weighted average interest of the Operating Partnership that was not owned by the Company during 2002. This compares to 24.8% not owned by the Company during 2001.

Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Macerich Management Companies

The income from unconsolidated joint ventures and the Macerich Management Companies was $43.0 million for 2002, compared to income of $32.9 million in 2001. Income from the Macerich Management Companies increased by $1.3 million primarily due to MPMC, LLC being consolidated effective March 29, 2001. SDG Macerich Properties, LP income increased by $3.1 million primarily due to lower interest expense on floating rate debt. Pacific Premier Retail Trust's income increased by $3.4 million primarily due to a $2.3 million gain on sale of a portion of land at Redmond Town Center in 2002 and approximately $1.1 million relating to increases in minimum and percentage rents. Additionally, $10.1 million was attributed to the acquisition of the Westcor portfolio which included $0.8 million of revenue relating to SFAS 141. These increases are

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 39

offset by $10.2 million of loss from the write-down of the Company's investment in MerchantWired, LLC.

Discontinued Operations

The 2002 gain of $26.1 million was a result of the Company selling Boulder Plaza and recognizing a $13.9 million gain on March 19, 2002, and the Company recognizing a gain of $12.2 million as a result of the Company selling the former Montgomery Ward site at Pacific View Mall.

Gain (loss) on Sale or Write-Down of Assets

A loss of $3.8 million in 2002 compares to a gain of $24.5 million in 2001. Approximately $3.0 million of the loss in 2002 represents the write-down of assets from the Company's various technology investments compared to a gain on sale of assets of $24.5 million in 2001 as a result of the Company selling Villa Marina Marketplace on December 14, 2001.

Extraordinary Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

In 2002, the Company recorded a loss from early extinguishment of debt of $3.6 million compared to $2.0 million in 2001.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

Primarily as a result of the sales of Boulder Plaza and the former Montgomery Ward site at Pacific View Mall, the purchase of The Oaks, the Westcor transaction, the income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and the foregoing results, net income available to common stockholders increased to $61.0 million in 2002 from $58.0 million in 2001.

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations was $206.2 million in 2002 compared to $140.5 million in 2001. The increase is primarily due to the Westcor transaction, acquisition of The Oaks, consolidating the results of MPMC, LLC effective March 29, 2001, and increased net operating income at the Centers as mentioned above.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $918.3 million in 2002 compared to cash used in investing activities of $57.3 million in 2001. The change resulted primarily from the Westcor transaction, the acquisition of The Oaks and the write-down of assets of $10.2 million relating to MerchantWired, LLC, which is reflected in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. These decreases are offset by the net cash proceeds received of $15.3 million in 2002 from the sales of Boulder Plaza and the former Montgomery Wards site at Pacific View Mall.

Financing Activities

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $739.1 million in 2002 compared to cash flow used in financing activities of $93.0 million in 2001. The change resulted primarily from the new debt from the Westcor transaction, the $471.9 million of net proceeds from the 2002 equity offerings, the financing of The Oaks in 2002 and the refinancing of Centers in 2001.

Funds From Operations

Primarily because of the factors mentioned above, Funds from Operations—Diluted increased 18.3% to $207.1 million in 2002 from $175.1 million in 2001.

40 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

Revenues

Minimum and percentage rents increased by 3.2% to $212.2 million in 2001 from $205.6 million in 2000. Approximately $4.4 million of the increase is attributed to the Same Centers primarily due to releasing space at higher rents and $1.9 million of the increase relates to the Redevelopment Centers primarily due to the recently completed redevelopment at Pacific View Mall. This is partially offset by $0.2 million relating to the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace.

Tenant recoveries increased to $108.7 million in 2001 from $103.6 million in 2000 due to increased recoverable shopping center and operating expenses. Approximately $5.0 million of the increase is attributable to the Same Centers and $0.4 million of the increase relates to the Redevelopment Centers. This is partially offset by $0.3 million relating to decreases from the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace.

Other income increased to $11.5 million in 2001 from $8.2 million in 2000. This increase related primarily from parking fees, investment income and new business initiatives such as advertising revenue and preferred vendor income.

Expenses

Shopping center and operating expenses increased to $110.3 million in 2001 compared to $101.1 million in 2000. The increase is a result of $3.2 million of increased property taxes, insurance and other recoverable expenses at the Centers and approximately $0.9 million relates to increases in bad debt expense and legal fees at the Centers. Additionally, effective March 29, 2001, the Macerich Property Management Company merged with and into Macerich Property Management Company, LLC ("MPMC, LLC"). Expenses for MPMC, LLC for periods commencing March 29, 2001, are now consolidated and represented $5.0 million of the change. Prior to March 29, 2001, MPMC, LLC was an unconsolidated entity accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

REIT general and administrative expenses increased to $6.8 million in 2001 from $5.5 million in 2000 primarily due to marking to market the stock-based incentive plans.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $109.6 million in 2001 from $108.4 million in 2000. Capitalized interest was $5.7 million in 2001, down from $7.2 million in 2000 primarily due to the reduction of capitalized interest at the recently redeveloped Pacific View Mall.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $65.6 million in 2001 from $61.3 million in 2000. Approximately $1.4 million of the increase is due to greater depreciation at Pacific View, which recently completed an $89.0 million redevelopment and $3.0 million relates to additional capital costs at the Same Centers.

Minority Interest

The minority interest represents the 24.8% weighted average interest of the Operating Partnership that was not owned by the Company during 2001. This compares to 24.3% not owned by the Company during 2000.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 41

Income From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Management Companies

The income from unconsolidated joint ventures and the Management Companies was $32.9 million for 2001, compared to income of $30.3 million in 2000. A total of $0.6 million of the increase is attributable to the Pacific Premier Retail Trust portfolio and $2.6 million is attributable to the SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. portfolio. Additionally, income from the Management Companies increased by $3.0 million primarily due to MPMC, LLC being consolidated effective March 29, 2001. These increases are partially offset by $2.8 million of additional loss as a result of the Company's investment in MerchantWired, LLC compared to 2000.

Gain (loss) on Sale of Assets

A gain of $24.5 million in 2001 compares to a loss of $2.8 million in 2000. The 2001 gain was a result of the Company selling Villa Marina Marketplace on December 14, 2001.

Extraordinary Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

In 2001, the Company recorded a loss from early extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million which was a result of write offs of unamortized financing costs, compared to the write off of $0.3 million of unamortized financing costs in 2000.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

A charge of $1.0 million in 2000 was recorded as a result of implementation of SAB 101 at January 1, 2000.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

Primarily as a result of the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace and the foregoing results, net income available to common stockholders increased to $58.0 million in 2001 from $38.0 million in 2000.

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations was $140.5 million in 2001 compared to $121.2 million in 2000. The increase is primarily due to consolidating the results of MPMC, LLC effective March 29, 2001 and increased net operating income at the Centers as mentioned above.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $57.3 million in 2001 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $2.1 million in 2000. The change resulted primarily from $24.0 million of increased property improvements, renovations and expansion of Centers, tenant allowances and deferred leasing charges in 2001 compared to 2000. Additionally, joint venture distributions in 2001 were $70.2 million less than 2000 due to the distribution of proceeds in 2000 from the additional debt placed on the SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. portfolio. These decreases are offset by the net cash proceeds received of $39.7 million in 2001 from the sale of Villa Marina Marketplace.

Financing Activities

Cash flow used in financing activities was $93.0 million in 2001 compared to cash flow used in financing activities of $127.5 million in 2000. The change resulted primarily from the refinancing of Centers in 2001.

Funds From Operations

Primarily because of the factors mentioned above, Funds from Operations—Diluted increased 4.7% to $175.1 million in 2001 from $167.2 million in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity requirements through cash generated from operations, working capital reserves, property secured borrowings and borrowing under the new revolving line of credit. The Company anticipates that revenues will continue to provide necessary funds for its operating expenses and debt service requirements, and to pay dividends to stockholders in accordance with REIT requirements. The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand, will be adequate to fund capital expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants, other than non-recurring capital expenditures. The following table summarizes capital expenditures incurred at the Centers, including the pro rata share of joint ventures, for the twelve months ending December 31,:

(Dollars in Millions)
		2002	2001	2000

Acquisitions of property and equipment		$1,661.2	$20.7	$6.7
Development, redevelopment and expansion of Centers		65.2	43.1	48.8
Renovations of Centers		6.9	14.6	15.8
Tenant allowances		16.0	16.4	8.3
Deferred leasing charges		16.5	13.9	12.8

	Total	$1,765.8	$108.7	$92.4

Management expects similar levels to be incurred in future years for tenant allowances and deferred leasing charges and to incur between $200 million to $300 million in 2003 for development, redevelopment, expansion and renovations, excluding the Queens Center expansion and the developments of La Encantada and Scottsdale 101 which will be separately financed as described below. Capital for major expenditures or major developments and redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be, obtained from equity or debt financings which include borrowings under the Company's line of credit and construction loans. However, many factors impact the Company's ability to access capital, such as its overall debt level, interest rates, interest coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions.

On February 28, 2002, the Company issued 1,968,957 common shares with total net proceeds of $52.3 million. The proceeds from the sale of the common shares were used principally to finance a portion of the Queens Center expansion and redevelopment project and for general corporate purposes. The Queens Center expansion and redevelopment is anticipated to cost between $250 million and $275 million. The Company has a $225 million construction loan which converts to a permanent loan at completion and stabilization, which is collateralized by the Queens Center property, to finance the remaining project costs. Construction began in the second quarter of 2002 with completion estimated to be, in phases, through late 2004 and stabilization expected in 2005.

The Company has obtained a construction loan for $51.0 million for the development of La Encantada and the Company has negotiated a $54.0 million construction loan for the Scottsdale 101 development which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2003.

The Company believes that it will have access to the capital necessary to expand its business in accordance with its strategies for growth and maximizing Funds from Operations. The Company presently intends to obtain additional capital necessary for these purposes through a combination of debt or equity financings, joint ventures and the sale of non-core assets. The Company believes joint

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 43

venture arrangements have in the past and may in the future provide an attractive alternative to other forms of financing, whether for acquisitions or other business opportunities.

The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at December 31, 2002 was $3.4 billion (including its pro rata share of joint venture debt). This equated to a debt to Total Market Capitalization (defined as total debt of the Company, including its pro rata share of joint venture debt, plus aggregate market value of outstanding shares of common stock, assuming full conversion of OP Units and preferred stock into common stock) ratio of approximately 59.6% at December 31, 2002. The majority of the Company's debt consists of fixed-rate conventional mortgages payable collateralized by individual properties.

The Company has filed a shelf registration statement, effective June 6, 2002, to sell securities. The shelf registration is for a total of $1.0 billion of common stock, common stock warrant or common stock rights. The Company sold a total of 15.2 million shares of common stock under this shelf registration on November 27, 2002. The aggregate offering price of this transaction was approximately $440.2 million, leaving approximately $559.8 million available under the shelf registration statement.

The Company had a credit facility of $200.0 million with a maturity of July 26, 2002 with a right to extend the facility for one year subject to certain conditions. On July 26, 2002, concurrent with the closing of Westcor, the Company replaced this $200.0 million credit facility with a new $425.0 million revolving line of credit. This increased revolving line of credit has a three-year term plus a one-year extension. The interest rate fluctuates from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. As of December 31, 2002, $344.0 million was outstanding at an average interest rate of 4.72%.

The Company had $125.1 million of convertible subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") which matured December 15, 2002. On December 13, 2002, the Debentures were repaid in full, using the Company's revolving credit facility.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents available of $53.6 million.

Funds From Operations

The Company believes that an important measure of its performance is Funds From Operations ("FFO"). FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to be: Net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales or write-down of assets and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation on personal property and amortization of loan and financial instrument costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities are calculated on the same basis. In calculating its FFO, the Company also excluded $1.9 million, including the pro rata share of joint ventures of $0.8 million, of minimum rent recognized in 2002 pursuant to SFAS No. 141. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations, as defined by GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. The following reconciles net income available to common stockholders to FFO:

(1): Calculated based upon basic net income as adjusted to reach basic FFO. Weighted average number of shares includes the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 assuming the conversion of all outstanding OP Units and Westcor partnership units. As of December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 13.7 million, 11.2 million, 11.2 million, 11.0 million and 12.3 million of OP Units and Westcor partnership units were outstanding, respectively.
(2): The computation of FFO—diluted and diluted average number of shares outstanding includes the effect of outstanding common stock options and restricted stock using the treasury method. The convertible debentures were dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999 and were included in the FFO calculation. The convertible debentures were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 1998 and were not included in the FFO calculation. On February 25, 1998, the Company sold $100 million of its Series A Preferred Stock. On June 16, 1998, the Company sold $150 million of its Series B Preferred Stock. The preferred stock can be converted on a one-for-one basis for common stock. The preferred shares are assumed converted for purposes of 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 FFO-diluted as they are dilutive to that calculation.

Included in minimum rents were rents attributable to the accounting practice of straight-lining of rents. The amount of straight-lining of rents, including the Company's pro rata share from joint ventures, that impacted minimum rents was $3.4 million for 2002, $1.3 million for 2001, $3.1 million for 2000, $5.0 million for 1999 and $5.0 million for 1998. The increase in straight-lining of rents in 2002 compared to 2001 is related to the acquisition of The Oaks and the Westcor portfolio in 2002. These are offset by decreases due to the Company structuring its new leases using rent increases tied to the change in CPI rather than using contractually fixed rent increases.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 45

Inflation

In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of a relatively low inflation rate. Most of the leases at the Centers have rent adjustments periodically through the lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or based on increases in the CPI. In addition, about 7%-12% of the leases expire each year, which enables the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rents if the rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Additionally, most of the leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses. This reduces the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Seasonality

The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the fourth quarter during the holiday season when retailer occupancy and retail sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve a substantial portion of their specialty (temporary retailer) rents during the holiday season and the majority of percentage rent is recognized in the fourth quarter. As a result of the above and the implementation of Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, earnings are generally higher in the fourth quarter of each year.

New Pronouncements Issued

As a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 133 on January 1, 2001, the Company recorded a transition adjustment of $7.1 million to accumulated other comprehensive income related to treasury rate lock transactions settled in prior years. The entire transition adjustment was reflected in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Company reclassified $1.3 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Additionally, the Company recorded other comprehensive income of $0.3 million related to the mark to market of an interest rate swap agreement.

On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets such as acquired in-place leases. The Company has determined that the impact of SFAS 141 on acquisitions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2002 was to recognize an additional $1.9 million of revenue, including $0.8 million from the joint ventures at pro rata, and $0.2 million of depreciation expense, including $0.1 million from the joint ventures at pro rata.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Company adopted SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002. The Company sold Boulder Plaza on March 19, 2002 and in accordance with SFAS 144 the results of Boulder Plaza for the periods from January 1, 2002 to March 19, 2002 and from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001 and January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000 have been reclassified into "discontinued operations" on the consolidated statements of operations. Total revenues associated with Boulder Plaza was approximately $0.5 million, $2.1 million and

46 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

$2.7 million for the periods January 1, 2002 to March 19, 2002, January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001 and January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000, respectively.

In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4, SFAS 44 and SFAS 64 and amends SFAS 13 to modify the accounting for sales-leaseback transactions. SFAS 4 required the classification of gains and losses resulting from extinguishment of debt to be classified as extraordinary items. SFAS 64 amended SFAS 4 and is no longer necessary because SFAS 4 has been rescinded. The Company expects to reclassify a loss of $3.6 million, $2.0 million and $0.3 million for the years ending December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, from extraordinary items to continuing operations upon adoption of SFAS 145 on January 1, 2003.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, and amendment of FASB Statement No. 123"("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS No. 148 amended SFAS No 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No 123 to require prominent disclosure in annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and its effect on reported results. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are included in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 148, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and will prospectively expense all stock options issued subsequent to January 1, 2002. The Company did not issue any stock options to employees in 2002.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which elaborates on required disclosures by a guarantor in its financial statements about obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued and clarifies the need for a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The Company is reviewing the provisions of this Interpretation relating to initial recognition and measurement of guarantor liabilities, which are effective for qualifying guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 47

risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity, and 2) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. The Company has not evaluated the effect FIN 46 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company has managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by (1) maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level, (2) reducing interest rate exposure on certain long-term variable rate debt through the use of interest rate caps with appropriately matching maturities, (3) using treasury rate locks where appropriate to fix rates on anticipated debt transactions, and (4) taking advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2002 concerning the Company's long term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value ("FV"):

In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its variable rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $9.9 million per year based on $995.1 million outstanding of variable rate debt at December 31, 2002.

The fair value of the Company's long term debt is estimated based on discounted cash flows at interest rates that management believes reflect the risks associated with long term debt of similar risk and duration.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Macerich Company:

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Macerich Company (the "Company") at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(4) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule of the Company based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. (the "Partnership"), the investment in which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The investment in the Partnership represents approximately 4.3% and 7.2% of the Company's consolidated total assets at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and the equity in income represents approximately 30.0%, 26.3% and 33.1% of the related consolidated net income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Partnership, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 101. Additionally, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, and effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 and No. 144.

THE MACERICH COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation:

The Macerich Company (the "Company") commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering (the "IPO") on March 16, 1994. The Company is the sole general partner of and, assuming conversion of the redeemable preferred stock, holds a 82% ownership interest in The Macerich Partnership, L. P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The interests in the Operating Partnership are known as OP Units. OP Units not held by the Company are redeemable, subject to certain restrictions, on a one-for-one basis for the Company's common stock or cash at the Company's option.

The Company was organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 18% limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company is reflected in these financial statements as minority interest.

The property management, leasing and redevelopment of the Company's portfolio is provided by the Company's management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, LLC, a single-member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Management Company, a California corporation, (collectively, the "Macerich Management Companies") and Westcor Partners, LLC, a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Westcor Management, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company and Westcor Partners of Colorado, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (collectively, the "Westcor Management Companies"). The term "Macerich Management Companies" includes Macerich Property Management Company, a California corporation, prior to its merger with Macerich Property Management Company, LLC ("MPMC, LLC") on March 29, 2001 and Macerich Manhattan Management Company, a California corporation which has ceased operations and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macerich Management Company.

Basis Of Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The properties in which the Operating Partnership does not have a controlling interest in, and the Macerich Management Companies (excluding MPMC, LLC), have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Effective March 29, 2001, the Company consolidated the accounts for MPMC, LLC. These entities are reflected on the Company's consolidated financial statements as "Investments in joint ventures and the management companies."

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 57

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value. Included in cash is restricted cash of $3,318 at December 31, 2002 and $3,495 at December 31, 2001.

Tenant Receivables:

Included in tenant receivables are allowances for doubtful accounts of $1,380 and $727 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Revenues:

Recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.

The Macerich and Westcor management companies provide property management, leasing, corporate, development, redevelopment and acquisition services to affiliated and non-affiliated shopping centers. In consideration for these services, the Management Companies receive monthly management fees generally ranging from 1.5% to 5% of the gross monthly rental revenue of the properties managed.

Property:

Deferred lease costs		1-15 years

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 59

Income Taxes:

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders (95% for years beginning prior to January 1, 2001). It is management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income it distributes currently to its stockholders. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any.

Each partner is taxed individually on its share of partnership income or loss, and accordingly, no provision for federal and state income tax is provided for the Operating Partnership in the consolidated financial statements.

The following table reconciles net income available to common stockholders to taxable income available to common stockholders for the years ended December 31:

(Dollars in thousands)
			2002	2001	2000

Net income available to common stockholders			$60,965	$58,035	$37,971

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1999. This bulletin modified the timing of revenue recognition for percentage rent received from tenants. This change will defer recognition of a significant amount of percentage rent for the first three calendar quarters into the fourth quarter. The Company applied this change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2000. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle at the adoption date of January 1, 2000, including the pro rata share of joint ventures, was approximately $1,750.

As a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 133 on January 1, 2001, the Company recorded a transition adjustment of $7.1 million to accumulated other comprehensive income related to treasury rate lock transactions settled in prior years. The entire transition adjustment was reflected in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Company reclassified $1,328 from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Additionally, the Company recorded other comprehensive income of $319 related to the mark to market of an interest rate swap agreement.

On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets such as acquired in-place leases. The Company has determined that the impact of SFAS 141 on acquisitions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2002 was to recognize an additional $1,906 of revenue, including $767 from the joint ventures at pro rata, and $183 of depreciation expense, including $84 from the joint ventures at pro rata.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 61

A deferred credit of $10,399 is recorded in "Other accrued liabilities" of the Company. An additional $9,072 of deferred credits is recorded in the financial statements of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures. Accordingly, these deferred credits will be amortized into rental revenues at approximately $2,732 and $1,841 per year, respectively, for each of the next five years.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Company adopted SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002. The Company sold Boulder Plaza on March 19, 2002 and in accordance with SFAS 144 the results of Boulder Plaza for the periods from January 1, 2002 to March 19, 2002, from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001 and January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000 have been reclassified into "discontinued operations" on the consolidated statements of operations. Total revenues associated with Boulder Plaza were approximately $495, $2,108 and $2,725 for the periods January 1, 2002 to March 19, 2002, January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001 and January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000, respectively.

In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4, SFAS 44 and SFAS 64 and amends SFAS 13 to modify the accounting for sales-leaseback transactions. SFAS 4 required the classification of gains and losses resulting from extinguishment of debt to be classified as extraordinary items. SFAS 64 amended SFAS 4 and is no longer necessary because SFAS 4 has been rescinded. The Company expects to reclassify a loss of $3,605, $2,034 and $304 for the years ending December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, from extraordinary items to continuing operations upon adoption of SFAS 145 on January 1, 2003.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, and amendment of FASB Statement No. 123"("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS

62 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

No. 148 amended SFAS No 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No 123 to require prominent disclosure in annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and its effect on reported results. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are included in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 148, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and will prospectively expense all stock options issued subsequent to January 1, 2002. The Company did not issue any stock options to employees in 2002.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51." FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: 1) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity, and 2) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. The Company has not evaluated the effect FIN 46 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

To meet the reporting requirement of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 63

Interest rate cap agreements were purchased by the Company from third parties to hedge the risk of interest rate increases on some of the Company's variable rate debt. Payments received as a result of the cap agreements are recorded as a reduction of interest expense. The fair value of the cap agreements are included in deferred charges. The fair value of these caps would vary with fluctuations in interest rates. The Company would be exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counter parties to the financial instruments; however, management does not anticipate nonperformance by the counter parties.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS"):

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of outstanding restricted stock and common stock options calculated using the Treasury stock method. The OP Units not held by the Company have been included in the diluted EPS calculation since they are redeemable on a one-for-one basis. The following table reconciles the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation:

The minority interest for 2002 of $20,189 has been allocated to income from continuing operations before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $14,493, extraordinary item of ($901) and $6,597 to discontinued operations.

Concentration of Risk:

The Company maintains its cash accounts in a number of commercial banks. Accounts at these banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100. At various times during the year, the Company had deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

No Center generated more than 10% of shopping center revenues during 2002, 2001 or 2000.

64 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

The Centers derived approximately 93.3%, 91.6% and 91.3% of their total rents for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, from Mall and Freestanding Stores. The Limited represented 5.1%, 4.6% and 4.4% of total minimum rents in place as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and no other retailer represented more than 4.0%, 3.5% and 3.0% of total minimum rents as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Management Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Macerich Manhattan Management Company, which has ceased operations, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Macerich Management Company. Effective March 29, 2001, Macerich Property Management Company merged with and into Macerich Property Management Company, LLC ("MPMC, LLC"). MPMC,

66 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

LLC is a single-member Delaware limited liability company and is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. The ownership structure of Macerich Management Company has remained unchanged.

The Company accounts for the Macerich Management Companies (exclusive of MPMC, LLC) and joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Effective March 29, 2001, the Company consolidated the accounts for MPMC, LLC.

Although the Company has a majority ownership interest in Pacific Premier Retail Trust and Camelback Colonnade, the Company shares management control with its joint venture partner.

On September 30, 2000, Manhattan Village, a 551,847 square foot regional shopping center, 10% of which was owned by the Operating Partnership, was sold. The joint venture sold the property for $89,000, including a note receivable from the buyer for $79,000 at a fixed interest rate of 8.75% payable monthly, until its maturity date of September 30, 2001. On December 28, 2001, the note receivable was paid down by $5,000 and the maturity date was extended to September 30, 2002 at a new fixed interest rate of 9.5%. On July 2, 2002, the note receivable of $74,000 was paid in full.

MerchantWired LLC was formed by six major mall companies, including the Company, to provide a private, high-speed IP network to malls across the United States. The members of MerchantWired LLC agreed to sell all their collective membership interests in MerchantWired LLC under the terms of a definitive agreement with Transaction Network Services, Inc. ("TNSI"). The transaction was expected to close in the second quarter of 2002, but TNSI unexpectedly informed the members of MerchantWired LLC that it would not complete the transaction. As a result, MerchantWired LLC shut down its operations and transitioned its customers to alternate service providers. The Company does not anticipate making further cash contributions to MerchantWired LLC and wrote-off its remaining investment of $8,947 during the three months ended June 30, 2002, which is reflected in the equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures.

On July 26, 2002, the Operating Partnership acquired Westcor Realty Limited Partnership and its affiliated companies ("Westcor"), which included the joint ventures noted in the above schedule. Westcor is the dominant owner, operator and developer of regional malls and specialty retail assets in the greater Phoenix area. The total purchase price was approximately $1,475,000 including the assumption of $733,000 in existing debt and the issuance of approximately $72,000 of convertible preferred operating partnership units at a price of $36.55 per unit. Additionally, $18,910 of partnership units of Westcor Realty Limited Partnership were issued to limited partners of Westcor which, subject to certain conditions, can be converted on a one for one basis into operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The balance of the purchase price was paid in cash which was provided primarily from a $380,000 interim loan with a term of up to six months plus two six-month extension options bearing interest at an average rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and a $250,000 term loan with a maturity of three years with two one-year extension options and with an

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 67

interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. The results of Westcor are included for the period subsequent to its date of acquisition.

On November 8, 2002, the Company purchased its joint venture partners interest in Panorama City Associates for $23,700. Accordingly, the Company now owns 100% of Panorama City Associates which owns Panorama Mall in Panorama, California. The results of Panorama Mall prior to November 8, 2002 are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Significant accounting policies used by the unconsolidated joint ventures and the Macerich Management Companies are similar to those used by the Company. Included in mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of Northwestern Mutual Life ("NML") of $153,147 and $157,567, as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. NML is considered a related party because they are a joint venture partner with the Company in Macerich Northwestern Associates. Interest expense incurred on these borrowings amounted to $10,439, $10,761 and $10,189 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

On June 10, 2002, the Company acquired The Oaks, a 1.1 million square foot super-regional mall in Thousands Oaks, California. The total purchase price was $152,500 and was funded with $108,000 of debt, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.15%, placed concurrently with the acquisition. The balance of the purchase price was funded by cash and borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

Additionally, the above schedule includes the acquisition of Westcor (See Note 20).

A gain on sale or write-down of assets of $22,253 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 includes a gain of $13,910 as a result of the Company selling Boulder Plaza on March 19, 2002 and a gain of $12,162 as a result of the Company selling the former Montgomery Wards site at Pacific View Mall. This is offset by a loss of $3,029 as a result of writing-off the Company's various technology investments in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Additionally, a gain on sale of assets of $24,491 for the year ended December 31, 2001 is primarily a result of the Company selling Villa Marina Marketplace on December 14, 2001.

6.18%. An interest rate swap was entered into to convert $11,363 of floating rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 3.97% to a fixed rate of 5.39%. The interest rate swap has been designated as a hedge in accordance with SFAS 133. Additionally, interest rate caps were entered into on a portion of the debt and reverse interest rate caps were simultaneously sold to offset the effect of the interest rate cap agreements. These interest rate caps do not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133.

Certain mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for the early extinguishment of the debt.

Total interest expense capitalized, including the pro rata share of joint ventures of $895, $909 and $1,407 (in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively), during 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $8,707, $6,561 and $8,619, respectively.

The fair value of mortgage notes payable, including the pro rata share of joint ventures of $1,083,313 and $721,084 at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, is estimated to be approximately $2,826,539 and $1,983,183, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans.

The above debt matures as follows:

7. Bank and Other Notes Payable:

The Company had a credit facility of $200,000 with a maturity of July 26, 2002 with a right to extend the facility for one year subject to certain conditions. The interest rate on such credit facility fluctuated between 1.35% and 1.80% over LIBOR depending on leverage levels. As of December 31, 2001, $159,000 of borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit at interest rates of 3.65%. On July 26, 2002, the Company replaced the $200,000 credit facility with a new $425,000 revolving line of credit. This increased revolving line of credit has a three-year term plus a one-year extension. The interest rate fluctuates from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. As of December 31, 2002, $344,000 of borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility at an average interest rate of 4.72%. The Company, through its acquisition of Westcor, has an interest rate swap with a $50,000 notional amount. The swap matures December 1, 2003, and was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap will serve to reduce exposure to interest rate risk effectively converting the LIBOR rate on $50,000 of the Company's variable interest rate borrowings to a rate of 3.215%. The swap is reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Net receipts or payments under the agreement will be recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.

Concurrent with the acquisition of Westcor (See Note 20), the Company placed a $380,000 interim loan with a term of up to six months plus two six-month extension options bearing interest at an average rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and a $250,000 term loan with a maturity of three years with two one-year extension options and with an interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. On November 27, 2002, the entire interim loan was paid off from the proceeds of the November 2002 equity offering (See Note 19). At December 31, 2002, $204,800 of the term loan was outstanding at an interest rate of 4.78%.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2002, the Company has obtained $7,220 in letters of credit guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations relating to the Centers. The Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the Company.

During January 1999, the Company entered into a bank construction loan agreement to fund $89,250 of costs related to the redevelopment of Pacific View. The loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% through 2000. In January 2001, the interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 1.75% and the loan was scheduled to mature in February 2002. Principal was drawn as construction costs were incurred. As of December 31, 2000, $88,340 of principal had been drawn under the loan at an interest rate of 8.63%. On July 10, 2001, the Company paid off this loan in full and a permanent loan was issued for $89,000, which may be increased up to $96,000 subject to certain conditions, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 7.16% and maturing August 31, 2011.

8. Convertible Debentures:

During 1997, the Company issued and sold $161,400 of its convertible subordinated debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures, which were sold at par, bore interest at 7.25% annually (payable semi-annually) and were convertible into common stock at any time, on or after 60 days, from the date of issue at a conversion price of $31.125 per share. In November and December 2000, the Company purchased and retired $10,552 of the Debentures. The Company recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1,018 related to the transaction. In December 2001, the Company purchased and retired an additional $25,700 of the Debentures. The Debentures matured on December 15, 2002 and were callable by the Company after June 15, 2002 at par plus accrued interest.

Perchloroethylene ("PCE") has been detected in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza, formerly owned by a joint venture of which the Company was a 50% member. The property was sold on December 18, 1997. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control ("DTSC") advised the Company in 1995 that very low levels of Dichloroethylene ("1,2 DCE"), a degradation byproduct of PCE, had been detected in a municipal water well located ¹/4 mile west of the dry cleaners, and that the dry cleaning facility may have contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE into the water well. According to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level ("MCL") for 1,2 DCE which is permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per billion ("ppb"). The 1,2 DCE was detected in the water well at a concentration of 1.2 ppb, which is below the MCL. The Company has retained an environmental consultant and has initiated extensive testing of the site. The joint venture agreed (between itself and the buyer) that it would be responsible for continuing to pursue the investigation and remediation of impacted soil and groundwater resulting from releases of PCE from the former dry cleaner. A total of $211, $68 and $187 have already been incurred by the joint venture for remediation, professional and legal fees for the years ending December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The joint venture has been sharing costs with former owners of the property.

The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos has been detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Center. Testing data conducted by professional environmental consulting firms indicates that the fireproofing is largely inaccessible to building occupants and is well adhered to the structural members. Additionally, airborne concentrations of asbestos were well within OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) of .1 fcc. The accounting for this acquisition included a reserve of $3,300 to cover future removal of this asbestos, as necessary. The Company incurred $247, $148 and $26 in remediation costs for the years ending December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. An additional $2,362 remains reserved at December 31, 2002.

Dry cleaning chemicals have been detected in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of a former dry cleaning establishment at Bristol Center. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQCB") has been notified of the release. The Company has retained an environmental consultant who assessed and characterized the extent of the chemicals that are present in soil and groundwater and has developed a remedial action plan, which was approved by the RWQCB. The Company has subsequently completed the remediation activities of the site in accordance with the approved workplan and has submitted a closure report requesting no futher action. A reserve was established in 2002 for $680 of which $212 was paid in 2002.

12. Profit Sharing Plan:

The Macerich Management Companies and the Company have a retirement profit sharing plan that was established in 1984 covering substantially all of their eligible employees. The plan is qualified in accordance with section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective January 1, 1995, this plan was modified to include a 401(k) plan whereby employees can elect to defer compensation subject to

80 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

Internal Revenue Service withholding rules. This plan was further amended effective February 1, 1999, to add the Macerich Company Common Stock Fund as a new investment alternative under the plan. A total of 150,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the plan. Contributions by the Macerich Management Companies are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are based upon a specified percentage of employee compensation. The Macerich Management Companies and the Company contributed $1,059, $923 and $833 to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

13. Stock Option Plan:

The Company has established employee stock incentive plans under which stock options or restricted stock and/or other stock awards may be awarded for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers, directors and key employees. The Company has issued options to employees and directors to purchase shares of the Company under the stock incentive plans. The term of these options is ten years from the grant date. These options generally vest 33¹/3% per year over three years and were issued and are exercisable at the market value of the common stock at the grant date.

In addition, the Company had established a plan for non-employee directors. The non-employee director options have a term of ten years from the grant date, vest six months after grant and are issued at the market value of the common stock on the grant date. The plan reserved 50,000 shares of which all shares were granted as of December 31, 2001.

The Company issued 972,176 shares of restricted stock under the employees stock incentive plans to executives as of December 31, 2002. These awards are granted based on certain performance criteria for the Company. The restricted stock generally vests over 3 to 5 years and the compensation expense related to these grants is determined by the market value at the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, 442,450 and 289,482 shares, respectively, of restricted stock had vested. A total of 262,082 shares at a weighted average price of $30.19 were issued in 2002, a total of 151,602 shares at a weighted average price of $21.95 were issued in 2001, and a total of 169,556 shares at a weighted average price of $20.125 were issued in 2000. Restricted stock is subject to restrictions determined by the Company's compensation committee. Restricted stock has the same dividend and voting rights as common stock and is considered issued when vested. Compensation expense for restricted stock was $4,784, $3,911 and $2,220 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Approximately 2,465,454 and 1,214,940 of additional shares were reserved and were available for issuance under the stock incentive plans at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. One of the stock plans with 2,147,283 shares reserved for issuance will terminate March 3, 2004. The plans allow for, among other things, granting options or restricted stock at market value.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding at December 31, 2002 was 5 years and the weighted average remaining contractual life for options exercisable at December 31, 2001 was 5 years.

The Company recorded options granted using Accounting Principles Board (APB) opinion Number 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and Related Interpretations" through December 31, 2001. As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS 123 and will expense all stock options issued subsequent to January 1, 2002. The following table reconciles net income available to common stockholders and earnings per common share ("EPS"), as reported, to pro forma net income available to common stockholders and EPS as if the Company had recorded compensation expense using the methodology prescribed in SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." These pro forma amounts may not be

(1): On December 31, 2002, the Company granted 25,000 stock options. The expense as determined under SFAS 123 was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $1.63, $0.98 and $1.27, respectively. The fair value of each option grant issued in 2002, 2001 and 2000 is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: (a) dividend yield of 7.22% in 2002, 9.75% in 2001 and 10.2% in 2000, (b) expected volatility of the Company's stock of 16.68% in 2002, 17.31% in 2001 and 20.35% in 2000, (c) a risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Zero Coupon Bonds with time of maturity approximately equal to the options' expected time to exercise and (d) expected option lives of five years for options granted in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 83

14. Deferred Compensation Plans:

The Company has established deferred compensation plans under which key executives of the Company may elect to defer receiving a portion of their cash compensation otherwise payable in one calendar year until a later year. The Company may, as determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, credit a participant's account with an amount equal to a percentage of the participant's deferral. The Company contributed $546, $461 and $387 to the plans during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

In addition, certain executives have split dollar life insurance agreements with the Company whereby the Company generally pays annual premiums on a life insurance policy in an amount equal to the executives deferral under one of the Company's deferred compensation plans. Since July 30, 2002, the effective date of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has suspended premium payments on the policies due to the uncertainty as to whether such payments are permitted under Sarbanes-Oxley.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 85

20. Westcor Acquisition:

On July 26, 2002, the Operating Partnership acquired Westcor Realty Limited Partnership and its affiliated companies ("Westcor"). Westcor is the dominant owner, operator and developer of regional malls and specialty retail assets in the greater Phoenix area. The total purchase price was approximately $1,475,000 including the assumption of $733,000 in existing debt and the issuance of approximately $72,000 of convertible preferred operating partnership units at a price of $36.55 per unit. Additionally, $18,910 of partnership units of Westcor Realty Limited Partnership were issued to limited partners of Westcor which, subject to certain conditions, can be converted on a one for one basis into operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The balance of the purchase price was paid in cash which was provided primarily from a $380,000 interim loan with a term of up to six months plus two six-month extension options bearing interest at an average rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and a $250,000 term loan with a maturity of up to five years with an interest rate ranging from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 3.00% depending on the Company's overall leverage level.

On an unaudited pro forma basis, reflecting the acquisition of Westcor as if it had occurred on January 1, 2001 and 2002, the Company would have reflected net income available to common stockholders of $54,417 and $33,873 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. Net income available to common stockholders on a diluted per share basis would be $1.52 and $1.11 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total consolidated revenues of the Company would have been $448,475 and $388,235 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The condensed balance sheet of Westcor presented below is as of the date of acquisition:


Property, net		$769,362
Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures		363,600
Other assets		37,155

	Total assets	$1,170,117

Mortgage notes payable		$373,453
Other liabilities		33,924

	Total liabilities	407,377

	Total partners' capital	762,740

	Total liabilities and partners' capital	$1,170,117

The purchase price allocation adjustments included in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 are based on information available at this time. Subsequent adjustments to the allocation may be made based on additional information.

PACIFIC PREMIER RETAIL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation:

On February 18, 1999, Macerich PPR Corp. (the "Corp"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Macerich Company (the "Company"), and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("Ontario Teachers") acquired a portfolio of properties in the first of a two-phase acquisition and formed the Pacific Premier Retail Trust (the "Trust").

The first phase of the acquisition consisted of three regional malls, the retail component of a mixed-use development and five contiguous properties comprising approximately 3.4 million square feet for a total purchase price of approximately $415,000. The purchase price was funded with a $120,000 loan placed concurrently with the closing, $109,800 of debt from an affiliate of the seller and $39,400 of assumed debt. The balance of the purchase price was paid in cash.

The second phase consisted of the acquisition of the office component of the mixed-use development for a purchase price of approximately $111,000. The purchase price was funded with a $76,700 loan placed concurrently with the closing and the balance was paid in cash.

On October 26, 1999, 99% of the membership interests of Los Cerritos Center and Stonewood Mall and 100% of the membership interests of Lakewood Mall were contributed from the Company and Ontario Teachers to the Trust. The total value of the transaction was approximately $535,000. The properties were contributed to the Trust subject to existing debt of $322,000. The properties were recorded at approximately $453,100 to reflect the cost basis of the assets contributed to the Trust.

The Trust was organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Corp maintains a 51% ownership interest in the Trust, while Ontario Teachers' maintains a 49% ownership interest in the Trust.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Trust considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value. Included in cash is restricted cash of $2,496 and $2,366 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Tenant Receivables:

Included in tenant receivables are accrued overage rents of $2,208 and $2,700 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $671 and $596 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Revenues:

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease. The difference between the amount of rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the "straight-lining of rent adjustment." Rental income was increased by $1,361, $2,082 and $3,306 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, due to the straight-lining of rents. Percentage rents are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101. Recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.

Property:

Costs related to the redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest incurred or imputed on redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized until construction is substantially complete.

94 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets as follows:


Building and improvements		5-39 years
Tenant improvements		initial term of related lease
Equipment and furnishings		5-7 years

The Trust assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of its long-lived assets by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenants' ability to perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The Trust may recognize an impairment loss if the income stream is not sufficient to cover its investment. Such a loss would be determined as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of a property. Management believes no such impairment has occurred in its net property carrying values at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Deferred Charges:

Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. Costs relating to financing of properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The range of the terms of the agreements are as follows:


Deferred lease costs		1-9 years
Deferred financing costs		1-12 years

Income taxes:

The Trust elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. To qualify as a REIT, the Trust must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders (95% for years beginning prior to January 1, 2001). It is management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Trust's REIT status. As a REIT, the Trust generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income it distributes currently to its stockholders. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Trust fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 95

regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Trust qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Trust may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any.

The following table reconciles net income to taxable income for the years ended December 31:

		2002	2001	2000

Net income		$39,270	$32,604	$31,406
	Add: Book depreciation and amortization	23,784	22,817	20,238
	Less: Tax depreciation and amortization	(25,360)	(23,415)	(21,820)
	Other book/tax differences, net(1)	1,418	(2,775)	(6,774)

Taxable income		$39,112	$29,231	$23,050

(1): Primarily due to timing differences relating to straight-line rents and prepaid rents.

For income tax purposes, distributions consist of ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. The following table details the components of the distributions for the years ended December 31:

	2002		2001		2000

Ordinary income	$163.61	77.2%	$121.21	100.0%	$122.74	81.0%
Capital gains	20.78	9.9%	—	0.0%	—	0.0%
Return of capital	27.42	12.9%	—	0.0%	28.79	19.0%

Dividends paid or payable	$211.81	100.0%	$121.21	100.0%	$151.53	100.0%

Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1999. This bulletin modified the timing of revenue recognition for percentage rent received from tenants. This change will defer recognition of a significant amount of percentage rent for the first three calendar quarters into the fourth quarter. The Trust applied this change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2000. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle at the adoption date of January 1, 2000 was approximately $397.

96 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

of gains and losses resulting from extinguishment of debt to be classified as extraordinary items. SFAS 64 amended SFAS 4 and is no longer necessary because SFAS 4 has been rescinded. The Trust expects to reclassify a gain (loss) of $69 and ($375) for the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, from extraordinary items to continuing operations upon adoption of SFAS 145 on January 1, 2003.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. The Trust does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which elaborates on required disclosures by a guarantor in its financial statements about obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued and clarifies the need for a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The Trust is reviewing the provisions of this Interpretation relating to initial recognition and measurement of guarantor liabilities, which are effective for qualifying guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Trust's financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51." FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: 1) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity, and 2) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. The Trust has not evaluated the effect FIN 46 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

To meet the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Trust calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made. The estimated fair value amounts have been

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 97

determined by the Trust using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.

Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Trust could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Concentration of Risk:

The Trust maintains its cash accounts in a number of commercial banks. Accounts at these banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100. At various times during the year, the Trust had deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

One tenant represented 12.0%, 12.1% and 12.8% of total minimum rents in place as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. No other tenant represented more than 3.4%, 3.5% and 3.8% of total minimum rents as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Management Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Property:

Property is summarized as follows:

	December 31,
	2002	2001

Land	$237,754	$237,754

(c): In connection with the acquisition of this property, the Trust assumed $127,000 of collateralized fixed rate notes (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at an average fixed rate of 7.20% and mature in August 2005. The Notes require the Trust to deposit all cash flow from the property operations with a trustee to meet its obligations under the Notes. Cash in excess of the required amount, as defined, is released. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $750 of restricted cash deposited with the trustee at December 31, 2002 and 2001.
(d): On July 28, 2000, the Trust placed a $16,125 floating rate note on the property bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and maturing July 2003. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the total interest rate was 3.75% and 4.38%, respectively.

Certain mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for the early extinguishment of the debt.

Total interest costs capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $353, $1,202 and $1,905, respectively.

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 99

5. Related Party Transactions:

The Trust engages the Macerich Management Company (the "Management Company"), a preferred stock subsidiary of the Company, to manage the operations of the Trust. The Management Company provides property management, leasing, corporate, redevelopment and acquisitions services to the properties of the Trust. In consideration of these services, the Management Company receives monthly management fees ranging from 1.0% to 4.0% of the gross monthly rental revenue of the properties managed. During the years ended 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Trust incurred management fees of $5,196, $4,952 and $4,584, respectively, to the Management Company.

A mortgage note collateralized by the office component of Redmond Town Center is held by one of the Company's joint venture partners. In connection with this note, interest expense was $5,778, $5,973 and $4,953 during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Additionally, $0, $0 and $386 of interest costs were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, in relation to this note.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Partners
SDG Macerich Properties, L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and partners' equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we have also audited the related financial statement schedule (Schedule III). These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule (Schedule III), when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in note 2(a) to the financial statements, the Partnership changed its method of accounting for overage rents in 2000.

SDG MACERICH PROPERTIES, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

(Dollars in thousands)

(1) General

(a) Partnership Organization

On December 29, 1997, affiliates of Simon Property Group, Inc. (Simon) and The Macerich Company (Macerich) formed a limited partnership to acquire and operate a portfolio of 12 regional shopping centers. SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. (the Partnership) acquired the properties on February 27, 1998.

(b) Properties

Affiliates of Simon and Macerich each manage six of the shopping centers. The shopping centers and their locations are as follows:

Simon managed properties:
	South Park Mall	Moline, Illinois
	Valley Mall	Harrisonburg, Virginia
	Granite Run Mall	Media, Pennsylvania
	Eastland Mall and Convenience Center	Evansville, Indiana
	Lake Square Mall	Leesburg, Florida
	North Park Mall	Davenport, Iowa
Macerich managed properties:
	Lindale Mall	Cedar Rapids, Iowa
	Mesa Mall	Grand Junction, Colorado
	South Ridge Mall	Des Moines, Iowa
	Empire Mall and Empire East	Sioux Falls, South Dakota
	Rushmore Mall	Rapid City, South Dakota
	Southern Hills Mall	Sioux City, Iowa

The shopping center leases generally provide for fixed annual minimum rent, overage rent based on sales, and reimbursement for certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes. For leases in

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 107

effect at December 31, 2002, fixed minimum rents to be received in each of the next five years and thereafter are summarized as follows:


2003		$76,909
2004		69,511
2005		57,769
2006		49,585
2007		40,867
Thereafter		135,109

		$429,750

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Revenues

All leases are classified as operating leases, and minimum rents are recognized monthly on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

Most retail tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year, generally ending on January 31. Overage rents are recognized as revenues based on reported and estimated sales for each tenant through December 31. Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recognized in the subsequent year.

During January 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force addressed certain revenue recognition policies which required overage rent to be recognized as revenue only when each tenant's sales exceeded its threshold. The Partnership previously recognized overage rent before the threshold was met based on tenant sales over a prorated base sales amount. The Partnership changed its accounting method effective January 1, 2000 and recorded a loss for the cumulative effect of the change in 2000 of $1,053.

Tenant recoveries for real estate taxes and common area maintenance are adjusted annually based on actual expenses, and the related revenues are recognized in the year in which the expenses are incurred. Charges for other operating expenses are billed monthly with periodic adjustments based on estimated utility usage and/or a current price index, and the related revenues are recognized as the amounts are billed and as adjustments become determinable.

(b) Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

108 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

(c) Properties

Properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Buildings and improvements		39 years
Equipment and furnishings		5-7 years
Tenant improvements		Initial term of related lease

Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. All repairs and maintenance items are expensed as incurred.

The Partnership assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of a property by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenants' ability to perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The Partnership would recognize an impairment loss if the estimated future income stream of a property is not sufficient to recover its investment. Such a loss would be the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of a property. Management believes no impairment in the net carrying values of its properties have occurred.

(d) Financing Costs

Financing costs of $2,572 related to the proceeds of mortgage notes issued April 12, 2000 are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the notes.

(e) 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 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(f) Income Taxes

As a partnership, the allocated share of income or loss for the year is includable in the income tax returns of the partners; accordingly, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

(g) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Partnership uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Partnership

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 109

requires that hedging derivative instruments are effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. For derivative instruments associated with the hedge of an anticipated transaction, hedge effectiveness criteria also require that it be probable that the underlying transaction occurs. Any instrument that meets these hedging criteria is formally designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified resulting in some ineffectiveness, the portion of the change in the derivative fair value related to ineffectiveness from period to period will be included in net income. If any derivative instrument used for risk management does not meet the hedging criteria then it is marked-to-market each period, however, the Partnership intends for all derivative transactions to meet all the hedge criteria and qualify as hedges.

On an ongoing quarterly basis, the Partnership adjusts its balance sheet to reflect the current fair value of its derivatives. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in income or comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedged transaction, and on the type of hedge transaction. To the extent that the change in value of a derivative does not perfectly offset the change in value of the instrument being hedged, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized in income. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to income. This reclassification occurs when the hedged items are also recognized in income. The Partnership has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors.

To determine the fair value of derivative instruments, the Partnership uses standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, and termination cost at each balance sheet date. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

(3) Mortgage Notes Payable and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In connection with the acquisition of the properties in 1998, the Partnership assumed $485,000 of mortgage notes secured by the properties. The notes consist of $300,000 of debt that is due in May 2006 and requires monthly interest payments at a fixed weighted average rate of 7.41% and $185,000 of debt that is due in May 2003 and requires monthly interest payments at a variable weighted average rate (based on LIBOR) of 1.92% and 2.39% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The variable rate debt is covered by interest cap agreements that effectively prevents the variable rate from exceeding 11.53% (see note 5). In March 2000, the Partnership made a principal payment of $500 on the variable rate debt in order to obtain $138,500 of additional mortgage financing.

110 Macerich 2002 Financial Statements

The fair value assigned to the $300,000 fixed-rate debt at the acquisition date based on an estimated market interest rate of 6.23% was $322,711, with the resulting debt premium being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using a level yield method. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the unamortized balance of the debt premium was $10,744 and $13,512, respectively.

On April 12, 2000, the Partnership obtained $138,500 of additional mortgage financing which is also secured by the properties. The notes consist of $57,100 of debt that requires monthly interest payments at a fixed weighted average rate of 8.13% and $81,400 of debt that requires monthly interest payments at a variable weighted average rate (based on LIBOR) of 1.79% and 2.27% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. All of the notes mature on May 15, 2006. The variable rate debt is covered by an interest cap agreement that effectively prevents the variable rate from exceeding 11.83% (see note 5).

The fair value of the fixed-rate debt of $357,100 at December 31, 2002 and 2001 based on an interest rate of 4.04% and 6.43%, respectively, is estimated to be $396,752 and $372,100, respectively. The carrying value of the variable-rate debt of $265,900 and the Partnership's other financial instruments are estimated to approximate their fair values.

Management of the Partnership expects the Partnership will be successful in refinancing the $184,500 of debt which is due in May 2003.

Interest costs of $195 were capitalized in 2000 as a component of the cost of major development projects.

(4) Related Party Transactions

Management fees incurred in 2002, 2001 and 2000 totaled $2,071, $1,973 and $1,900, respectively, for the Simon-managed properties and $1,981, $1,991 and $1,862, respectively, for the Macerich-managed properties, both based on a fee of 4% of gross receipts, as defined.

Due from affiliates and due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheets represent amounts due to or from the Partnership to Simon or Macerich or an affiliate of Simon or Macerich in the normal course of operations of the shopping center properties. At December 31, 2002, due to affiliates includes $797 due to Macerich related to insurance premiums for the Macerich-managed properties.

(5) Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

Effective January 1, 2001, the Partnership adopted SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended in June of 2000 by SFAS 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting

Macerich 2002 Financial Statements 111

standards for derivative instruments and requires the Partnership to record on the balance sheet all derivative instruments at fair value and to recognize certain non-cash changes in these fair values either in the statement of operations or other comprehensive income, as appropriate under SFAS 133. SFAS 133 currently impacts the accounting for the Partnership's interest rate cap agreements.

Upon adoption of SFAS 133, the Partnership recorded the difference between the fair value of the derivative instruments and the previous carrying amount of its interest rate cap agreements on its balance sheets in net income, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in accordance with APB 20, Accounting Changes. On adoption, the Partnership's net fair value of derivatives was $80 which was recorded in other assets. In addition, an expense of $256 was recorded as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the statement of operations.

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership has recorded derivatives at their fair values of $73 and $156, respectively, included in other assets. These derivatives consist of interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $266,400, with maturity dates ranging from May 2003 to May 2006. The Partnership's exposure to market risk due to changes in interest rates relates to the Partnership's long-term debt obligations. Through its risk management strategy, the Partnership manages exposure to interest rate market risk by interest rate protection agreements to effectively cap a portion of variable rate debt. The Partnership's intent is to minimize its exposure to potential significant increases in interest rates. The Partnership does not enter into interest rate protection agreements for speculative purposes.

(6) Contingent Liability

The Partnership is not currently involved with any litigation other than routine and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. On the basis of consultation with counsel, management believes that these items will not have a material adverse impact on the Partnership's financial statements taken as a whole.
