NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)


1.	Organization:

The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community/power shopping centers (the "Centers") located throughout the United States.

The Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering on March 16, 1994. As of June 30, 2014, the Company was the sole general partner of, and held a 93% ownership interest in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company was organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

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, Macerich Arizona Partners LLC, a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Arizona Management LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Partners of Colorado LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, MACW Mall Management, Inc., a New York corporation, and MACW Property Management, LLC, a single member New York limited liability company. All seven of the management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Management Companies."

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


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent public accountants.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity in which the Company has, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests, both the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity are consolidated; otherwise they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are reflected as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

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

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, which amends the definition of discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures for disposal transactions that do not meet the revised discontinued operations criteria. ASU 2014-08 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company's early adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

4.	Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:

The Company has made the following recent investments and dispositions relating to its unconsolidated joint ventures:

On May 29, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP sold Redmond Town Center Office, a 582,000 square foot office building in Redmond, Washington, for $185,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $89,157 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $44,424, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

On June 12, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP sold Kitsap Mall, an 846,000 square foot regional shopping center in Silverdale, Washington, for $127,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $55,150 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $28,127, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

On August 1, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP sold Redmond Town Center, a 695,000 square foot community center in Redmond, Washington, for $127,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $38,447 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $18,251, which was included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

On September 17, 2013, the Company’s joint venture in Camelback Colonnade, a 619,000 square foot community center in Phoenix, Arizona, was restructured. As a result of the restructuring, the Company’s ownership interest in Camelback Colonnade decreased from 73.2% to 67.5%. Prior to the restructuring, the Company had accounted for its investment in Camelback Colonnade under the equity method of accounting due to substantive participation rights held by the outside partners. Upon completion of the restructuring, these substantive participation rights were terminated and the Company obtained voting control of the joint venture. This transaction is referred to herein as the "Camelback Colonnade Restructuring." Since the date of the restructuring, the Company has included Camelback Colonnade in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 13—Acquisitions).

On October 8, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Ridgmar Mall, a 1,273,000 square foot regional shopping center in Fort Worth, Texas, sold the property for $60,900, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $6,243 to the joint venture. The Company's share of the gain was $3,121, which was included in equity in income from joint ventures.

8. Mortgage Notes Payable: (Continued)


(1)	The mortgage notes payable balances include the unamortized debt premiums (discounts). Debt premiums (discounts) represent the excess (deficiency) of the fair value of debt over (under) the principal value of debt assumed in various acquisitions and are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt in a manner that approximates the effective interest method.

Debt premiums (discounts) consist of the following:



Property Pledged as Collateral	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Arrowhead Towne Center	$	13,105		$	14,642
Camelback Colonnade	1,528			2,120
Deptford Mall	(11		)	(14		)
Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA	5,878			6,342
Superstition Springs Center	737			895
Valley Mall	(175		)	(219		)
	$	21,062		$	23,766


(2)	The interest rate disclosed represents the effective interest rate, including the debt premiums (discounts) and deferred finance costs.


(3)	The monthly debt service represents the payment of principal and interest.


(4)	The maturity date assumes that all extension options are fully exercised and that the Company does not opt to refinance the debt prior to these dates. These extension options are at the Company's discretion, subject to certain conditions, which the Company believes will be met.


(5)	A 49.9% interest in the loan has been assumed by a third party in connection with a co-venture arrangement (See Note 10—Co-Venture Arrangement).


(6)	The construction loan on the property allows for borrowings of up to $140,000, bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% and matures on March 5, 2017, including extension options. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total interest rate was 2.95% and 2.96%, respectively.


(7)	On March 24, 2014, the loan was extended to January 1, 2015.


(8)	The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures on March 1, 2017. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total interest rate was 3.03% and 3.04%, respectively.


(9)	On February 7, 2014, the Company paid off in full one of the two loans on the property, which resulted in a loss of $358 on the early extinguishment of debt.


(10)	The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures on November 6, 2014. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total interest rate was 2.71% and 2.73%, respectively.

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

Most of the Company's mortgage notes payable are secured by the properties on which they are placed and are non-recourse to the Company. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a total of $88,019 and $77,192, respectively, of the mortgage notes payable could become recourse to the Company.

The Company expects that all loan maturities during the next twelve months will be refinanced, restructured, extended and/or paid-off from the Company's line of credit or with cash on hand.

Total interest expense capitalized was $3,098 and $2,874 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $5,583 and $5,342 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Related party mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of NML. See Note 16—Related Party Transactions for interest expense associated with loans from NML.

The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of mortgage notes payable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $4,450,277 and $4,500,177, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans. The method for computing fair value was determined using a present value model and an interest rate that included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt.


9.	Bank and Other Notes Payable:

Bank and other notes payable consist of the following:

Line of Credit:

The Company has a $1,500,000 revolving line of credit that initially bore interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.75% to 3.0%, depending on the Company's overall leverage levels, and was to mature on May 2, 2015 with a one-year extension option. The line of credit had the ability to be expanded, depending on certain conditions, up to a total facility of $2,000,000 less the outstanding balance of the $125,000 unsecured term loan as described below.

On August 6, 2013, the Company's line of credit was amended and extended. The amended facility provides for an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.38% to 2.0%, depending on the Company's overall leverage levels, and matures on August 6, 2018. Based on the Company's leverage level as of June 30, 2014, the borrowing rate on the facility was LIBOR plus 1.38%. In addition, the line of credit can be expanded, depending on certain conditions, up to a total facility of $2,000,000 (without giving effect to the $125,000 unsecured term loan described below).

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, borrowings under the line of credit were $250,000 and $30,000, respectively, at an average interest rate of 2.17% and 1.85%, respectively. The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of the line of credit at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $239,362 and $28,214, respectively, based on a present value model using a credit interest rate spread offered to the Company for comparable debt.

Term Loan:

On December 8, 2011, the Company obtained a $125,000 unsecured term loan under the line of credit that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.95% to 3.20%, depending on the Company's overall leverage level, and matures on December 8, 2018. Based on the Company's current leverage level as of June 30, 2014, the borrowing rate was LIBOR plus 1.95%. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total interest rate was 2.25% and 2.51%, respectively. The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of the term loan at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $119,688 and $120,802, respectively, based on a present value model using a credit interest rate spread offered to the Company for comparable debt.

Prasada Note:

On March 29, 2013, the Company issued a $13,330 note payable that bears interest at 5.25% and matures on March 29, 2016. The note payable is collateralized by a portion of a development reimbursement agreement with the City of Surprise, Arizona. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the note had a balance of $11,718 and $12,537, respectively. The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of the note at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $12,189 and $13,114, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable notes. The method for computing fair value was determined using a present value model and an interest rate that included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the collateral for the underlying debt.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial loan covenants.

10.	Co-Venture Arrangement:

On September 30, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture, whereby a third party acquired a 49.9% interest in Freehold Raceway Mall and Chandler Fashion Center.

As a result of the Company having certain rights under the agreement to repurchase the assets after the seventh year of the venture formation, the transaction did not qualify for sale treatment. The Company, however, is not obligated to repurchase the assets. The transaction has been accounted for as a profit-sharing arrangement, and accordingly the assets, liabilities and operations of the properties remain on the books of the Company and a co-venture obligation was established for the amount of $168,154, representing the net cash proceeds received from the third party. The co-venture obligation is increased for the allocation of income to the co-venture partner and decreased for distributions to the co-venture partner. The co-venture obligation was $76,854 and $81,515 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

11. Noncontrolling Interests:

The Company allocates net income of the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average ownership interest during the period. The net income of the Operating Partnership that is not attributable to the Company is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as noncontrolling interests. The Company adjusts the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect its ownership interest in the Company. The Company had a 93% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The remaining 7% limited partnership interest as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was owned by certain of the Company's executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates, and other third party investors in the form of OP Units. The OP Units may be redeemed for shares of stock or cash, at the Company's option. The redemption value for each OP Unit as of any balance sheet date is the amount equal to the average of the closing price per share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days ending on the respective balance sheet date. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate redemption value of the then-outstanding OP Units not owned by the Company was $672,472 and $587,917, respectively.

The Company issued common and preferred units of MACWH, LP in April 2005 in connection with the acquisition of the Wilmorite portfolio. The common and preferred units of MACWH, LP are redeemable at the election of the holder, the Company may redeem them for cash or shares of the Company's stock at the Company's option and they are classified as permanent equity.

Included in permanent equity are outside ownership interests in various consolidated joint ventures. The joint ventures do not have rights that require the Company to redeem the ownership interests in either cash or stock.


12.	Stockholders' Equity:

On August 17, 2012, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement ("Distribution Agreement") with a number of sales agents to issue and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500,000 (the “Shares”). Sales of the Shares, if any, may be made in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at the market” offering, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company will pay each sales agent a commission that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold through such sales agent under the Distribution Agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold 2,961,903 shares of common stock under the ATM Program in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $177,896 and net proceeds of $175,649 after commissions and other transaction costs.

LTIP Units receive cash distributions based on the dividend amount paid on the common stock of the Company to the extent distributions are required. The LTIP may include market-indexed awards, service-based awards and fully-vested awards.

17. Share and Unit-Based Plans: (Continued)

On January 1, 2014, the Company granted 272,930 market-indexed LTIP Units to seven executive officers at a weighted average grant date fair value of $45.34 per LTIP Unit. The new grants vest over a service period ending December 31, 2014. The market-indexed LTIP Units vest over the service period of the award based on the percentile ranking of the Company in terms of total return to stockholders (the "Total Return") per common stock share relative to the Total Return of a group of peer REITs, as measured at the end of the measurement period. The market-indexed LTIP Units are equally divided between two types of awards. The terms of both types of awards are the same, except one award has an additional 3% absolute Total Return requirement, which if it is not met, then the LTIP Units will not vest.

The fair value of the market-indexed LTIP Units was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The stock price of the Company, along with the stock prices of the group of peer REITs, was assumed to follow the Multivariate Geometric Brownian Motion Process. Multivariate Geometric Brownian Motion Process modeling is commonly used in financial markets, as it allows the modeled quantity (in this case, the stock price) to vary randomly from its current value based on the stock price's expected volatility and current market interest rates. The volatilities of the returns on the stock price of the Company and the peer group REITs were estimated based on a one-year look-back period. The expected growth rate of the stock prices over the derived service period was determined with consideration of the risk free rate as of the grant date.

On January 1, 2014, the Company also granted 70,042 service-based LTIP Units to the seven executive officers at a weighted average grant date fair value of $58.89 per LTIP Unit. The service-based LTIP Units will vest in equal annual installments over a service period ending December 31, 2016.

On March 7, 2014, the Company granted 246,471 fully-vested LTIP Units to the seven executive officers at a weighted average grant date price of $60.25, as their 2013 performance bonus.

The following summarizes the compensation cost under the share and unit-based plans:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Redevelopment and Development Activities:

The Company's joint venture in Tysons Corner Center, a 2,129,000 square foot regional shopping center in McLean, Virginia, is currently expanding the property to include a 500,000 square foot office tower, a 430 unit residential tower and a 300 room Hyatt Regency hotel. The joint venture started the expansion project in October 2011. The office tower commenced occupancy in July 2014. The joint venture expects the balance of the project to be completed in early 2015. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $524.0 million, with $262.0 million estimated to be the Company's pro rata share. The Company has funded $192.4 million of the total of $384.8 million incurred by the joint venture as of June 30, 2014.

In November 2013, the Company started construction on the 175,000 square foot expansion of Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA, a 518,000 square foot outlet center in Niagara Falls, New York.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $270.0 million, with $135.0 million estimated to be the Company's pro rata share. The Company has funded $23.3 million of the total of $46.6 million incurred by the joint venture as of June 30, 2014.

Inflation:

In the last five 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 throughout the lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or based on using an annual multiple of increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). In addition, approximately 6% to 13% of the leases for spaces 10,000 square feet and under 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. The Company has generally entered into leases that require tenants to pay a stated amount for operating expenses,

Table of Contents

generally excluding property taxes, regardless of the expenses actually incurred at any Center, which places the burden of cost control on the Company. Additionally, certain leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses.

Seasonality:

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, and estimates for environmental matters. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical. There have been no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue Recognition:

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The difference between the amount of rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the "straight line rent adjustment." Currently, 68% of the mall store and freestanding store leases contain provisions for CPI rent increases periodically throughout the term of the lease. The Company believes that using an annual multiple of CPI increases, rather than fixed contractual rent increases, results in revenue recognition that more closely matches the cash revenue from each lease and will provide more consistent rent growth throughout the term of the leases. Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants' specified sales targets have been met. Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries are recognized as revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.

Property:

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

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



Buildings and improvements	5 - 40 years
Tenant improvements	5 - 7 years
Equipment and furnishings	5 - 7 years

Table of Contents

Capitalization of Costs:

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in redevelopment, development, renovation and improvement of properties. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. These capitalized costs include direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the project. Indirect costs include real estate taxes, insurance and certain shared administrative costs. In assessing the amounts of direct and indirect costs to be capitalized, allocations are made to projects based on estimates of the actual amount of time spent on each activity. Indirect costs not clearly associated with specific projects are expensed as period costs. Capitalized indirect costs are allocated to development and redevelopment activities based on the square footage of the portion of the building not held available for immediate occupancy. If costs and activities incurred to ready the vacant space cease, then cost capitalization is also discontinued until such activities are resumed. Once work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs are no longer capitalized. For projects with extended lease-up periods, the Company ends the capitalization when significant activities have ceased, which does not exceed the shorter of a one-year period after the completion of the building shell or when the construction is substantially complete.

Acquisitions:

The Company allocates the estimated fair value of an acquisition to land, building, tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, based on their estimated fair values. In addition, any assumed mortgage notes payable are recorded at their estimated fair values. The estimated fair value of the land and buildings is determined utilizing an “as if vacant” methodology. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under property and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (i) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with “cost avoidance” of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in the Company's markets; (ii) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (iii) above or below-market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. Leasing commissions and legal costs are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus an estimate of renewal of the acquired leases. Above or below-market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market, and the asset or liability is amortized to minimum rents over the remaining terms of the leases. The remaining lease terms of below-market leases may include certain below-market fixed-rate renewal periods. In considering whether or not a lessee will execute a below-market fixed-rate lease renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition such as tenant mix in the Center, the Company's relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space.

The Company immediately expenses costs associated with business combinations as period costs.

Asset Impairment:

The Company assesses whether an indicator of impairment in the value of its properties exists by considering expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include projected rental revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures as well as estimated holding periods and capitalization rates. If an impairment indicator exists, the determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. The Company generally holds and operates its properties long-term, which decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable. Properties classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

The Company reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for a series of operating losses and other factors that may indicate that a decrease in the value of its investments has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The investment in each unconsolidated joint venture is evaluated periodically, and as deemed necessary, for recoverability and valuation declines that are other-than-temporary.

Table of Contents

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions.

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made.

Deferred Charges:

Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. As these deferred leasing costs represent productive assets incurred in connection with the Company's provision of leasing arrangements at the Centers, the related cash flows are classified as investing activities within the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Costs relating to financing of shopping center properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The ranges of the terms of the agreements are as follows:



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

Results of Operations

Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred because of the transactions affecting the Company's properties described above, including the Acquisition Properties, the Redevelopment Properties and the Disposition Properties (as defined below).

For purposes of the discussion below, the Company defines "Same Centers" as those Centers that are substantially complete and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Non-Same Centers for comparison purposes include recently acquired properties (“Acquisition Properties”), those Centers or properties that are going through a substantial redevelopment often resulting in the closing of a portion of the Center (“Redevelopment Properties”) and properties that have been disposed of in 2014 ("Disposition Properties"). The Company moves a Center in and out of Same Centers based on whether the Center is substantially complete and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Accordingly, the Same Centers consists of all consolidated Centers, excluding the Acquisition Properties, the Redevelopment Properties and the Disposition Properties for the periods of comparison.

For comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2014 to the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Acquisition Properties include Green Acres Adjacent, Camelback Colonnade, Superstition Springs Center and Cascade Mall. For comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2014 to the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Acquisition Properties include Green Acres Mall, Green Acres Adjacent, Camelback Colonnade, Superstition Springs Center and Cascade Mall.

For comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Redevelopment Properties include Fashion Outlets of Chicago, Paradise Valley Mall, SouthPark Mall and Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA. The increase in revenues and expenses at the Redevelopment Properties for the comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is primarily due to the opening of Fashion Outlets of Chicago on August 1, 2013.

Table of Contents

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, which amended the definition of discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures for disposal transactions that do not meet the revised discontinued operations criteria. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2014. As a result, the Disposition Properties have been included in the results of continuing operations instead of discontinued operations. For comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Disposition Properties include Rotterdam Square, Somersville Towne Center and Lake Square Mall. Properties disposed of prior to January 1, 2014 have been included in discontinued operations.

Unconsolidated joint ventures are reflected using the equity method of accounting. The Company's pro rata share of the results from these Centers is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures.

The Company considers tenant annual sales per square foot (for tenants in place for a minimum of 12 months or longer and 10,000 square feet and under) for regional shopping centers, occupancy rates (excluding large retail stores or "Anchors") for the Centers and releasing spreads (i.e. a comparison of initial average base rent per square foot on leases executed during the trailing twelve months to average base rent per square foot at expiration for the leases expiring during the year based on the spaces 10,000 square feet and under) to be key performance indicators of the Company's internal growth.

Tenant sales per square foot increased from $545 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 to $567 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. Occupancy rate increased from 93.8% at June 30, 2013 to 95.4% at June 30, 2014. Releasing spreads increased 18.1% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. These calculations exclude Centers under development or redevelopment and property dispositions (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview and Summary).

Releasing spreads remained positive as the Company was able to lease available space at average higher rents than the expiring rental rates, resulting in a releasing spread of $7.87 per square foot ($51.33 on new and renewal leases executed compared to $43.46 on leases expiring), representing a 18.1% increase for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2014. The Company expects that releasing spreads will continue to be positive in 2014 as it renews or relets leases that are scheduled to expire. These leases that are scheduled to expire represent 1.1 million square feet of the Centers, accounting for 12.3% of the gross leasable area ("GLA") of mall stores and freestanding stores, for spaces 10,000 square feet and under, as of June 30, 2014.

During the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2014, the Company signed 318 new leases and 311 renewal leases comprising approximately 1.2 million square feet of GLA, of which 1.0 million square feet related to the consolidated Centers. The annual initial average base rent for new and renewal leases was $51.33 per square foot for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2014 with an average tenant allowance of $16.96 per square foot.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Revenues:

Minimum and percentage rents (collectively referred to as "rental revenue") increased by $8.9 million, or 6.2%, from 2013 to 2014. The increase in rental revenue is attributed to an increase of $4.9 million from the Acquisition Properties, $4.9 million from the Redevelopment Properties and $1.2 million from the Same Centers offset in part by a decrease of $2.1 million from the Disposition Properties. Rental revenue includes the amortization of above and below-market leases, the amortization of straight-line rents and lease termination income. The amortization of above and below-market leases decreased from $1.4 million in 2013 to $1.2 million in 2014. The amortization of straight-line rents decreased from $2.2 million in 2013 to $1.6 million in 2014. Lease termination income decreased from $0.5 million in 2013 to $0.2 million in 2014.

Tenant recoveries increased $1.7 million, or 2.1%, from 2013 to 2014. This increase in tenant recoveries is attributed to an increase of $3.4 million from the Redevelopment Properties and $2.7 million from the Acquisition Properties offset in part by a decrease of $3.7 million from the Same Centers and $0.7 million from the Disposition Properties. The decrease at the Same Centers is primarily attributed to a decrease in property tax expense.

Management Companies' revenue decreased from $10.3 million in 2013 to $8.8 million in 2014. The decrease in Management Companies' revenue is primarily due to a reduction in management and leasing fees as a result of the sales of Redmond Town Center Office, Kitsap Mall, Redmond Town Center and Ridgmar Mall in 2013 and the conversion of Camelback Colonnade and Superstition Springs Center from joint ventures to consolidated Centers in 2013 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview and Summary).

Shopping Center and Operating Expenses:

Shopping center and operating expenses increased $3.2 million, or 4.0%, from 2013 to 2014. This increase in shopping center and operating expenses is attributed to an increase of $4.3 million from the Redevelopment Properties and $3.0 million from the Acquisition Properties offset in part by a decrease of $2.1 million from the Same Centers and $2.0 million from the Disposition Properties. The decrease at the Same Centers is primarily attributed to a decrease in property tax expense.

Management Companies' Operating Expenses:

Management Companies' operating expenses decreased $1.9 million from 2013 to 2014 primarily due to a decrease in compensation costs.

REIT General and Administrative Expenses:

REIT general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.6 million from 2013 to 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.8 million from 2013 to 2014. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributed to a decrease of $5.5 million from the Same Centers and $1.2 million from the Disposition Properties offset in part by an increase of $3.4 million from the Acquisition Properties and $2.5 million from the Redevelopment Properties.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense decreased $4.6 million from 2013 to 2014. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to a decrease of $3.3 million from borrowings under the Company's line of credit, $1.8 million from the Same Centers, $0.1 million from the Redevelopment Properties and $0.1 million from term loans offset in part by an increase of $0.7 million from the Acquisition Properties.

The above interest expense items are net of capitalized interest, which increased from $2.9 million in 2013 to $3.1 million in 2014.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $78.3 million from 2013 to 2014. The decrease is primarily attributed to the gains on the sales of Redmond Town Center Office and Kitsap Mall in 2013 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview and Summary).

Loss on Remeasurement, Sale or Write Down of Assets, net:

Loss on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets, net increased $8.7 million from 2013 to 2014. The increase is primarily attributed to an impairment loss in 2014 of $8.5 million due to the reduction of the estimated holding periods of three freestanding stores.

Total Income From Discontinued Operations:

Total income from discontinued operations of $143.4 million in 2013 was primarily due to the gains on sales in 2013 of Green Tree Mall of $59.8 million and Northridge Mall and Rimrock Mall of $82.2 million (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview and Summary). Due to the adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2014, there is no income from discontinued operations in 2014.

Net Income:

Net income decreased $216.8 million from 2013 to 2014. The decrease is primarily attributed to the decrease in total income from discontinued operations of $143.4 million and from the decrease in equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures of $78.3 million.

Funds From Operations ("FFO"):

Primarily as a result of the factors mentioned above, FFO—diluted decreased 0.4% from $130.4 million in 2013 to $129.8 million in 2014. For a reconciliation of FFO and FFO—diluted to net income attributable to the Company, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see "Funds From Operations ("FFO")" below.

Table of Contents

Total Income From Discontinued Operations:

Total income from discontinued operations of $146.0 million in 2013 was primarily due to the gains on sales in 2013 of Green Tree Mall of $59.8 million and Northridge Mall and Rimrock Mall of $82.2 million (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview and Summary). Due to the adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2014, there is no income from discontinued operations in 2014.

Net Income:

Net income decreased $219.7 million from 2013 to 2014. The decrease is primarily attributed to the decrease in total income from discontinued operations of $146.0 million and the decrease in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures of $82.6 million.

Funds From Operations ("FFO"):

Primarily as a result of the factors mentioned above, FFO—diluted decreased 2.3% from $257.4 million in 2013 to $251.4 million in 2014. For a reconciliation of FFO and FFO—diluted to net income attributable to the Company, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see "Funds From Operations ("FFO")" below.

Operating Activities:

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $182.8 million in 2013 to $190.6 million in 2014. The increase was primarily due to changes in assets and liabilities and the results as discussed above.

Investing Activities:

Cash used in investing activities increased from $120.5 million in 2013 to $174.8 million in 2014. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in cash proceeds from the sale of assets of $289.6 million, a decrease in distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $186.7 million and an increase in contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $65.7 million. These increases in cash used in investing activities were offset in part by a decrease in cash used in the acquisitions of property of $477.3 million. The decrease in the acquisitions of property is primarily due to the purchase of Green Acres Mall in 2013 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview and Summary).

Financing Activities:

Cash used in financing activities decreased from $81.2 million in 2013 to $29.0 million in 2014. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from mortgages, bank and other notes payable of $1.8 billion, a decrease in proceeds from stock offerings of $171.2 million and an increase in dividends and distributions of $17.8 million offset in part by a decrease in payments on mortgages, bank and other notes payable of $2.0 billion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company anticipates meeting its liquidity needs for its operating expenses, debt service and dividend requirements for the next twelve months through cash generated from operations, working capital reserves and/or borrowings under its unsecured line of credit. The following tables summarize capital expenditures incurred at the Centers:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2014		2013
Consolidated Centers:
Acquisitions of property and equipment	$	45,599	$	534,520
Development, redevelopment, expansion and renovation of Centers	57,725		74,950
Tenant allowances	9,779		10,428
Deferred leasing charges	12,322		14,219
	$	125,425	$	634,117
Joint Venture Centers (at Company's pro rata share):
Acquisitions of property and equipment	$	790	$	2,024
Development, redevelopment, expansion and renovation of Centers	103,826		45,503
Tenant allowances	1,492		4,182
Deferred leasing charges	1,550		1,814
	$	107,658	$	53,523

The Company expects amounts to be incurred during the next twelve months for tenant allowances and deferred leasing charges to be comparable or less than 2013 and that capital for those expenditures will be available from working capital, cash flow from operations, borrowings on property specific debt or unsecured corporate borrowings. The Company expects to incur between $300 million and $400 million during the next twelve months for development, redevelopment, expansion and renovations. Capital for these major expenditures, developments and/or redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be, obtained from a combination of debt or equity financings, which are expected to include borrowings under the Company's line of credit and construction loans. The Company has also generated liquidity in the past through equity offerings, property refinancings, joint venture transactions and the sale of non-core assets. The Company recently sold certain non-core assets and may sell additional non-core assets in 2014, depending on market conditions. Furthermore, the Company has filed a shelf registration statement which registered an unspecified amount of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, rights and units.

The capital and credit markets can fluctuate and, at times, limit access to debt and equity financing for companies. As demonstrated by the Company's activity in 2013, including through its $500 million ATM Program as discussed below and its $1.5 billion line of credit, the Company has been able to access capital; however, there is no assurance the Company will be able to do so in future periods or on similar terms and conditions. Many factors impact the Company's ability to access capital, such as its overall debt level, interest rates, interest coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions. In the event that the Company has significant tenant defaults as a result of the overall economy and general market conditions, the Company could have a decrease in cash flow from operations, which could result in increased borrowings under its line of credit. These events could result in an increase in the Company's proportion of floating rate debt, which would cause it to be subject to interest rate fluctuations in the future.

The Company has an equity distribution agreement ("Distribution Agreement") with a number of sales agents to issue and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million (the “Shares”). Sales of the Shares, if any, may be made in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at the market” offering, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. This offering is referred to herein as the "ATM Program". During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not sell any shares of common stock under the ATM Program. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold 2,456,956 shares of common stock under the ATM Program in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $173.0 million and net proceeds of $171.1 million after commissions and other transaction costs. The proceeds from the sales were used to pay down the Company's line of credit. As of June 30, 2014, $149.1 million of the Shares remained available to be sold under the ATM Program. Actual future sales will depend upon a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under the ATM Program.

Table of Contents

The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at June 30, 2014 was $6.2 billion (consisting of $4.8 billion of consolidated debt, less $0.3 billion of noncontrolling interest, plus $1.7 billion of its pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt). The majority of the Company's debt consists of fixed-rate conventional mortgage notes collateralized by individual properties. The Company expects that all of the maturities during the next twelve months will be refinanced, restructured, extended and/or paid off from the Company's line of credit or cash on hand.

The Company has a $1.5 billion revolving line of credit facility that provides for an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.38% to 2.0%, depending on the Company's overall leverage levels, and matures on August 6, 2018. Based on the Company's leverage level as of June 30, 2014, the borrowing rate on the facility was LIBOR plus 1.38%. In addition, the line of credit can be expanded, depending on certain conditions, up to a total facility of $2.0 billion. All obligations under the facility are unconditionally guaranteed only by the Company. At June 30, 2014, total borrowings under the line of credit were $250.0 million with an average effective interest rate of 2.17%.

The Company has a $125.0 million unsecured term loan under the Company's line of credit that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.95% to 3.20%, depending on the Company's overall leverage levels, and matures on December 8, 2018. Based on the Company's leverage level at June 30, 2014, the borrowing rate was LIBOR plus 1.95%. As of June 30, 2014, the total interest rate was 2.25%.

Cash dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $191.2 million. A total of $190.6 million was funded by cash flows provided by operations and the remaining $0.6 million was funded through distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures.

At June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants under its agreements.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $56.5 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

The Company accounts for its investments in joint ventures that it does not have a controlling interest in, or is not the primary beneficiary of, 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 "Distributions in excess of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures".

In addition, certain joint ventures also have secured debt that could become recourse debt to the Company or its subsidiaries, in excess of the Company's pro rata share, should the joint ventures be unable to discharge the obligations of the related debt. At June 30, 2014, the balance of the debt that could be recourse to the Company was $33.5 million offset in part by an indemnity agreement from a joint venture partner for $16.8 million. The maturity of the recourse debt, net of the indemnification, is $16.8 million in 2015.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, the Company was contingently liable for $18.4 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.

Long-term Contractual Obligations:

The following is a schedule of long-term contractual obligations as of June 30, 2014 for the consolidated Centers over the periods in which they are expected to be paid (in thousands):



	Payment Due by Period

Funds From Operations ("FFO")

The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. The Company believes that such a presentation also provides investors with a more meaningful measure of its operating results in comparison to the operating results of other REITs. The Company further believes that FFO on a diluted basis is a measure investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities.

The Company believes that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The Company also cautions that FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs.

Management compensates for the limitations of FFO by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of FFO and a reconciliation of FFO and FFO-diluted to net income. Management believes that to further understand the Company's performance, FFO should be compared with the Company's reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2014 concerning the Company's long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value ("FV") (dollars in thousands):

(1)	The maturity date assumes that all extension options are fully exercised and that the Company does not opt to refinance the debt prior to these dates. These extension options are at the Company's discretion, subject to certain conditions, which the Company believes will be met.

The consolidated Centers' total fixed rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $4.0 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively. The average interest rate on fixed rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 4.21% and 4.25%, respectively. The consolidated Centers' total floating rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $710.3 million and $468.8 million, respectively. The average interest rate on floating rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 2.43% and 2.59%, respectively.

The Company's pro rata share of the unconsolidated joint venture Centers' fixed rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1.6 billion. The average interest rate on fixed rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 4.60%. The Company's pro rata share of the unconsolidated joint venture Centers' floating rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $115.9 million. The average interest rate on the floating rate debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 2.57% and 2.59%, respectively.

In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its floating rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $8.3 million per year based on $0.8 billion of floating rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2014.

The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt is based on a present value model utilizing interest rates that reflect the risks associated with long-term debt of similar risk and duration. In addition, the method of computing fair value for mortgage notes payable included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt (See Note 8—Mortgage Notes Payable and Note 9—Bank and Other Notes Payable in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2014, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
