EXPLANATORY NOTE
The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to our Form 10-K is to correct the Officer
Certifications filed as Exhibits 32.1 and 32.2, and to update our consolidated
financial statements to reflect the application of the requirements of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" as a result of the sale of three
community centers that were sold in May 2006.
The Officer Certifications filed as Exhibits 32.1 and 32.2 contained inadvertent
typographical errors identifying the Form 10-K for the year ending December 31,
2004 instead of the Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2005 at the time
they were filed with the original Form 10-K on March 15, 2006. The Company is
filing as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K the certifications
required under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well
as a currently dated consent of the Company's Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm.
This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K also updates our Form 10-K, as originally
filed on March 15, 2006, to reclassify the operations of the three properties we
sold in May 2006 to discontinued operations in all periods presented in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, since they have been reflected
as discontinued operations for each period presented in our quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q filed during the year ending December 31, 2006. This Amendment No. 1
to Form 10-K/A reflects updates to Items 6, 7, 8, 9A and 15 of our Form 10-K to
reflect the three community centers sold in May 2006 as discontinued operations.
Except as described above, no other amendments are being made to the Annual
Report. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the March 15,
2006 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K or modify or update the disclosure
contained in the Annual Report in any way other than as described above.

laws. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we cannot give assurance that
these expectations will be attained, and it is possible that actual results may
differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due
to a variety of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the risk factors

include, without limitation, general industry, economic and business conditions,
interest rate fluctuations, costs of capital and capital requirements,
availability of real estate properties, inability to consummate acquisition
opportunities, competition from other companies and retail formats, changes in
retail rental rates in our markets, shifts in customer demands, tenant
bankruptcies or store closings, changes in vacancy rates at our properties,
changes in operating expenses, changes in applicable laws, rules and
regulations, the ability to obtain suitable equity and/or debt financing and the
continued availability of financing in the amounts and on the terms necessary to
support our future business. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors
affecting the forward-looking information.
Part I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Background
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "CBL") was organized on July 13,
1993, as a Delaware corporation, to acquire substantially all of the real estate
properties owned by CBL & Associates, Inc., and its affiliates ("CBL's
Predecessor"), which was formed by Charles B. Lebovitz in 1978. On November 3,
1993, CBL completed an initial public offering (the "Offering"). Simultaneous
with the completion of the Offering, CBL's Predecessor transferred substantially
all of its interests in its real estate properties to CBL & Associates Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") in exchange for common units of
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The interests in the
Operating Partnership contain certain conversion rights that are more fully
described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements. The terms "we",
"us", "our" and the "Company" refer to CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its
subsidiaries.
Recent Developments
In January 2005, we closed the third phase of our joint venture, Galileo
America LLC ("Galileo America"), when we sold our interests in two power
centers, one community center and one community center expansion to Galileo
America for $58.6 million.
We acquired the properties listed in the following table during 2005.
Please see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for more information.

In February 2005, we amended one of our secured credit facilities to
increase the total availability from $80.0 million to $100.0 million and to
extend the maturity by one year to June 2007.
On May 9, 2005, our shareholders approved an increase in the authorized
shares of the common stock under our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation to 180,000,000 shares from 95,000,000 shares. On May 10, 2005, our
board of directors approved a two-for-one stock split of our common stock, which
was effected in the form of a stock dividend. The record date for the stock
split was June 1, 2005, and the distribution date was June 15, 2005. The common
units and special common units of limited partner interest in the Operating
Partnership were also split on a two-for-one basis so that they continue to be
exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into shares of our common stock.
In April 2005, we formed a joint venture with the Richard E. Jacobs Group
("Jacobs") to develop Gulf Coast Town Center in Lee County (Ft. Myers/Naples),
Florida. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for more
information.
In August 2005, we transferred our 8.4% ownership interest in Galileo
America to Galileo America in exchange for Galileo America's interest in two
community centers: Springdale Center in Mobile, AL, and Wilkes-Barre Township
Marketplace in Wilkes-Barre Township, PA. We also sold our management and
advisory contracts with Galileo America to New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc.
("New Plan").
In September 2005, we increased the availability under our unsecured credit
facility from $400.0 million to $500.0 million.
In October 2005, our board of directors declared a special one-time cash
dividend for our common stock of $0.09 per share. The dividend was payable on
January 16, 2006, to shareholders of record as of December 30, 2005. The special
dividend was declared as a result of the taxable gains generated from the sale
of our management and advisory contracts with Galileo America that is discussed
in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2005, our board of directors approved a plan to repurchase up
to $60.0 million of our common stock by December 31, 2006. The stock repurchase
plan was adopted to provide us the opportunity to repurchase shares relatively
equivalent to the Series K Special Common Units that were issued in connection
with the acquisition of the three-mall portfolio that is discussed in Note 3 to
the consolidated financial statements. We had repurchased 1,371,034 shares of
our common stock as of December 31, 2005 for a total of $55.0 million, or a
weighted average cost of $40.11 per share. We do not intend to repurchase any
additional shares subsequent to December 31, 2005.
In November 2005, we formed a 50/50 joint venture with Jacobs to own
Triangle Town Center and its associated and lifestyle centers, Triangle Town
Place and Triangle Town Commons, in Raleigh, NC. We assumed management, leasing
and any future development responsibilities of these properties.
The Company's Business
We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated real estate
investment trust ("REIT"). We own, develop, acquire, lease, manage, and operate
regional malls, open-air and community shopping centers. Our shopping center
properties are located in 27 states, but primarily in the southeastern and
midwestern United States. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes.
We conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating
Partnership. We are the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL
Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. CBL Holdings I, Inc. is the sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2005, CBL Holdings
5
I, Inc. owned a 1.6% general partnership interest and CBL Holdings II, Inc.
owned a 52.5% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, for a
combined interest held by us of 54.1%.
As of December 31, 2005, we owned:
|X| interests in a portfolio of operating properties including 77 enclosed
regional malls and two open-air centers (the "Malls"), 30 associated
centers (the "Associated Centers"), seven community centers (the
"Community Centers") and our corporate office building (the "Office
Building");
|X| interests in two mall expansions, two open-air centers, one open-air
shopping center expansion, two associated centers, one community
center and one community center expansion that are currently under
construction (the "Construction Properties"), as well as options to
acquire certain shopping center development sites; and
|X| mortgages on eight properties that are secured by first mortgages or
wrap-around mortgages on the underlying real estate and related
improvements (the "Mortgages").
The Malls, Associated Centers, Community Centers, Construction Properties,
Mortgages and Office Building are collectively referred to as the "Properties"
and individually as a "Property."
We conduct our property management and development activities through CBL &
Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company") to comply with certain
technical requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Management Company manages all but five of the Properties. Governor's
Square and Governor's Plaza in Clarksville, TN, and Kentucky Oaks Mall, in
Paducah, KY are all owned by joint ventures and are managed by a property
manager that is affiliated with the third party managing general partner, which
receives a fee for its services. The managing partner of each of these
Properties controls the cash flow distributions, although our approval is
required for certain major decisions. Springdale Center in Mobile, AL and
Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace in Wilkes-Barre Township, PA, are managed by a
third party that receives a fee for its services.
The majority of our revenues are derived from leases with retail tenants
and generally include minimum rents, percentage rents based on tenants' sales
volumes and reimbursements from tenants for expenditures related to property
operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance and repairs, as
well as certain capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of
peripheral land at the properties and from sales of real estate assets when it
is determined that we can realize a premium value for the assets. Proceeds from
such sales are generally used to reduce borrowings on our credit facilities.
The following terms used in this annual report on Form 10-K will have the
meanings described below:
|X| GLA - refers to gross leasable area of retail space in square feet,
including anchors and mall tenants
|X| Anchor - refers to a department store or other large retail store
|X| Freestanding - property locations that are not attached to the primary
complex of buildings that comprise the mall shopping center
|X| Outparcel - land used for freestanding developments, such as retail
stores, banks and restaurants, on the periphery of the Properties

Our Growth Strategy
Our objective is to achieve growth in funds from operations by maximizing
cash flows through a variety of methods that are discussed below.
Leasing, Management and Marketing
Our objective is to maximize cash flows from our existing Properties
through:
|X| aggressive leasing that seeks to increase occupancy,
|X| originating and renewing leases at higher base rents per square foot
compared to the previous lease,
|X| merchandising, marketing, sponsorship and promotional activities and
|X| aggressively controlling operating costs and resulting tenant
occupancy costs.
Expansions and Renovations
We can generate additional revenue by expanding a Property through the
addition of department stores, mall stores and large retail formats. An
expansion also protects the Property's competitive position within its market.
As shown below, we completed seven expansions during 2005 and expect to expand
four Properties in 2006:

lots and improving the lighting of interiors and parking lots. Renovations can
result in attracting new retailers, increased rental rates and occupancy levels

Development of New Retail Properties
In general, we seek development opportunities in middle-market trade areas
that we believe are under-served by existing retail operations. These
middle-markets must also have sufficient demographics to provide the opportunity
to effectively maintain a competitive position. The following shows the new
developments we opened during 2005 and those under construction at December 31,

Insurance
We carry a comprehensive blanket policy for general liability, property
casualty (including fire, earthquake and flood) and rental loss covering all of
the Properties, with specifications and insured limits customarily carried for
similar properties. The property and liability insurance policies on our
Properties currently include loss resulting from acts of terrorism, whether
foreign or domestic. We believe the Properties are adequately insured in
accordance with industry standards.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs
of removal or remediation of petroleum, certain hazardous or toxic substances
on, under or in such real estate. Such laws typically impose such liability
without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for,
the presence of such substances. The costs of remediation or removal of such
substances may be substantial. The presence of such substances, or the failure
to promptly remove or remediate such substances, may adversely affect the
owner's or operator's ability to lease or sell such real estate or to borrow
using such real estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of
removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility,
regardless of whether such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain
laws also impose requirements on conditions and activities that may affect the
environment or the impact of the environment on human health. Failure to comply
with such requirements could result in the imposition of monetary penalties (in
addition to the costs to achieve compliance) and potential liabilities to third
parties. Among other things, certain laws require abatement or removal of
friable and certain non-friable asbestos-containing materials in the event of
demolition or certain renovations or remodeling. Certain laws regarding
asbestos-containing materials require building owners and lessees, among other
things, to notify and train certain employees working in areas known or presumed
to contain asbestos-containing materials. Certain laws also impose liability for
release of asbestos-containing materials into the air and third parties may seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or
property damage associated with asbestos-containing materials. In connection
with the ownership and operation of properties, we may be potentially liable for
all or a portion of such costs or claims.
All of our properties (but not properties for which we hold an option to
purchase but do not yet own) have been subject to Phase I environmental
assessments or updates of existing Phase I environmental assessments within
approximately the last ten years. Such assessments generally consisted of a
visual inspection of the properties, review of federal and state environmental
databases and certain information regarding historic uses of the property and
adjacent areas and the preparation and issuance of written reports. Some of the
properties contain, or contained, underground storage tanks used for storing
petroleum products or wastes typically associated with automobile service or
other operations conducted at the properties. Certain properties contain, or
contained, dry-cleaning establishments utilizing solvents. Where believed to be
warranted, samplings of building materials or subsurface investigations were
undertaken. At certain properties, where warranted by the conditions, we have
10
developed and implemented an operations and maintenance program that establishes
operating procedures with respect to asbestos-containing materials. The costs
associated with the development and implementation of such programs were not
material.
We believe that our properties are in compliance in all material respects
with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding the
handling, discharge and emission of hazardous or toxic substances. We have
recorded in our financial statements a liability of $2.4 million related to
potential future asbestos abatement activities at our Properties which are not
expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of
operations. We have not been notified by any governmental authority, and are not
otherwise aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to
hazardous or toxic substances in connection with any of our present or former
properties. Nevertheless, it is possible that the environmental assessments
available to us do not reveal all potential environmental liabilities. It is
also possible that subsequent investigations will identify material
contamination, that adverse environmental conditions have arisen subsequent to
the performance of the environmental assessments, or that there are material
environmental liabilities of which management is unaware. Moreover, no
assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not
impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental
condition of the properties has not been or will not be affected by tenants and
occupants of the properties, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of
the properties or by third parties unrelated to us, the Operating Partnership or
the relevant property's partnership.
Competition
The Properties compete with various shopping facilities in attracting
retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at our properties face
competition from discount shopping centers, outlet malls, wholesale clubs,
direct mail, television shopping networks, the internet and other retail
shopping developments. The extent of the retail competition varies from market
to market. We work aggressively to attract customers through marketing
promotions and campaigns.
Seasonality
Our business is somewhat seasonal in nature with tenant sales achieving the
highest levels during the fourth quarter because of the holiday season, which
results in higher percentage rent income in the fourth quarter. The Malls earn
most of their "temporary" rents (rents from short-term tenants) during the
holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the
highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in
any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced
over the course of the entire year.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
Real property investments are subject to various risks, many of which are beyond
our control, that could cause declines in the operating revenues and/or the
underlying value of one or more of our Properties.
A number of factors may decrease the income generated by a retail shopping
center property, including:
|X| National, regional and local economic climates, which may be
negatively impacted by plant closings, industry slowdowns, adverse
weather conditions, natural disasters, and other factors which tend to
reduce consumer spending on retail goods.
|X| Local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or reduction
in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the availability and
creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants.
|X| Increased operating costs, such as increases in real property taxes,
utility rates and insurance premiums.
|X| Perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and
attractiveness of the shopping center.
|X| The willingness and ability of the shopping center's owner to provide
capable management and maintenance services.
|X| The convenience and quality of competing retail properties and other
retailing options, such as the Internet.
In addition, other factors may adversely affect the value of our Properties
without affecting their current revenues, including:
|X| Adverse changes in governmental regulations, such as local zoning and
land use laws, environmental regulations or local tax structures that
could inhibit our ability to proceed with development, expansion, or
renovation activities that otherwise would be beneficial to our
Properties.
|X| Potential environmental or other legal liabilities that reduce the
amount of funds available to us for investment in our Properties.
|X| Any inability to obtain sufficient financing (including both
construction financing and permanent debt), or the inability to obtain
such financing on commercially favorable terms, to fund new
developments, acquisitions, and property expansions and renovations
which otherwise would benefit our Properties.
|X| An environment of rising interest rates, which could negatively impact
both the value of commercial real estate such as retail shopping
centers and the overall retail climate.
12
The loss of one or more significant tenants, due to bankruptcies or as a result
of ongoing consolidations in the retail industry, could adversely affect both
the operating revenues and value of our Properties.
Regional malls are typically anchored by well-known department stores and
other significant tenants who generate shopping traffic at the mall. A decision
by an anchor tenant or other significant tenant to cease operations at one or
more Properties could have a material adverse effect on those Properties and, by
extension, on our financial condition and results of operations. The closing of
an anchor or other significant tenant may allow other anchors and/or tenants at
an affected Property to terminate their leases, to seek rent relief and/or cease
operating their stores or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the Property.
In addition, key tenants at one or more Properties might terminate their leases
as a result of mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or
bankruptcies in the retail industry. The bankruptcy and/or closure of one or
more significant tenants, if we are not able to successfully re-tenant the
affected space, could have a material adverse effect on both the operating
revenues and underlying value of the Properties involved.
We may incur significant costs related to compliance with environmental laws,
which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash
flow and the funds available to us to pay dividends.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances
on, under or in that real property. These laws often impose liability whether or
not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of
hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of investigation, removal or
remediation of hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial. In addition,
the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remedy
environmental hazards properly, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's
ability to sell or rent affected real property or to borrow money using affected
real property as collateral.
Persons or entities that arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of hazardous or toxic substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether
or not that facility is owned or operated by the person or entity arranging for
the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. Laws exist that
impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and
third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real property for
personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos-containing materials. In
connection with our ownership, operation, management, development and
redevelopment of our Properties, or any other Properties we acquire in the
future, we may be potentially liable under these laws and may incur costs in
responding to these liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations, cash flow and the funds available to us to pay dividends.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK
We may elect not to proceed with certain development projects once they have
been undertaken, resulting in charges that could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken.
We intend to pursue development and expansion activities as opportunities
arise. In connection with any development or expansion, we will incur various
risks including the risk that development or expansion opportunities explored by
us may be abandoned and the risk that construction costs of a project may exceed
original estimates, possibly making the project not profitable. Other risks
include the risk that we may not be able to refinance construction loans which
are generally with full recourse to us, the risk that occupancy rates and rents
at a completed project will not meet projections and will be insufficient to
make the project profitable, and the risk that we will not be able to obtain
anchor, mortgage lender and property partner approvals for certain expansion
activities. In the event of an unsuccessful development project, our loss could
exceed our investment in the project.
13
We have in the past elected not to proceed with certain development
projects and anticipate that we will do so again from time to time in the
future. If we elect not to proceed with a development opportunity, the
development costs ordinarily will be charged against income for the then-current
period. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations for the period in which the charge is taken.
Competition from other retail formats could adversely affect the revenues
generated by our properties, resulting in a reduction in funds available for
distribution to our stockholders.
There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with our Properties in
attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at our Properties
face competition for customers from:
|X| Discount shopping centers
|X| Outlet malls
|X| Wholesale clubs
|X| Direct mail
|X| Telemarketing
|X| Television shopping networks
|X| Shopping via the Internet
Each of these competitive factors could adversely affect the amount of
rents that we are able to collect from our tenants, thereby reducing our
revenues and the funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
Since our shopping center properties are located principally in the Southeastern
and Midwestern United States, our financial position, results of operations and
funds available for distribution to shareholders are subject generally to
economic conditions in these regions.
Our properties are located principally in the southeastern and midwestern
Unites States. Our properties located in the southeastern United States
accounted for approximately 52.6% of our total revenues from all properties for
the year ended December 31, 2005 and currently include 40 Malls, 20 Associated
Centers, five Community Centers and one Office Building. Our properties located
in the midwestern United States accounted for approximately 25.9% of our total
revenues from all properties for the year ended December 31, 2005 and currently
include 21 Malls and three Associated Centers. Our results of operations and
funds available for distribution to shareholders therefore will be subject
generally to economic conditions in the southeastern and midwestern United
States. We will continue to look for opportunities to geographically diversify
our portfolio in order to minimize dependency on any particular region; however,
the expansion of the portfolio through both acquisitions and developments is
contingent on many factors including consumer demand, competition and economic
conditions.
Certain of our shopping center properties are subject to ownership interests
held by third parties, whose interests may conflict with ours and thereby
constrain us from taking actions concerning these properties which otherwise
would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
We own partial interests in eight malls, six associated centers, three
community centers and one office building. We manage all of these properties
except for Governor's Square, Governor's Plaza and Kentucky Oaks. A property
manager affiliated with the managing general partner performs the property
management services for these properties and receives a fee for its services.
The managing partner of each of these three Properties controls the cash flow
distributions, although our approval is required for certain major decisions.
Springdale Center in Mobile, AL and Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace in
Wilkes-Barre Township, PA, are managed by a third party that receives a fee for
its services.
14
Where we serve as managing general partner of the partnerships that own our
properties, we may have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the other partners
in those partnerships. In certain cases, the approval or consent of the other
partners is required before we may sell, finance, expand or make other
significant changes in the operations of such properties. To the extent such
approvals or consents are required, we may experience difficulty in, or may be
prevented from, implementing our plans with respect to expansion, development,
financing or other similar transactions with respect to such properties.
With respect to Governor's Square, Governor's Plaza and Kentucky Oaks we do
not have day-to-day operational control or control over certain major decisions,
including the timing and amount of distributions, which could result in
decisions by the managing general partner that do not fully reflect our
interests. This includes decisions relating to the requirements that we must
satisfy in order to maintain our status as a REIT for tax purposes. However,
decisions relating to sales, expansion and disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets and financings are subject to approval by the Operating
Partnership.
Certain agreements with prior owners of Properties that we have acquired may
inhibit our ability to enter into future sale or refinancing transactions
affecting such Properties, which otherwise would be in the best interests of the
Company and our stockholders.
Certain Properties that we originally acquired from third parties had
unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value of
such Properties and the third parties' adjusted tax basis in the Properties
immediately prior to their contribution of such Properties to the Operating
Partnership pursuant to our acquisition. For this reason, a taxable sale by us
of any of such Properties, or a significant reduction in the debt encumbering
such Properties, could result in adverse tax consequences to the third parties
who contributed these properties in exchange for interests in the Operating
Partnership. Under the terms of these transactions, we have generally agreed
that we either will not sell or refinance such an acquired Property for a number
of years in any transaction that would trigger adverse tax consequences for the
parties from whom we acquired such Property, or else we will reimburse such
parties for all or a portion of the additional taxes they are required to pay as
a result of the transaction. Accordingly, these agreements may cause us not to
engage in future sale or refinancing transactions affecting such Properties
which otherwise would be in the best interests of the Company and our
stockholders, or may increase the costs to us of engaging in such transactions.
The loss or bankruptcy of a major tenant could negatively affect our financial
position and results of operations.
In the year ended December 31, 2005, no tenant accounted for 5% or more of
revenues except for The Limited Stores Inc. (including Intimate Brands, Inc.),
which accounted for approximately 5.6% of our total revenues. The loss or
bankruptcy of this key tenant could negatively affect our financial position and
results of operations.
Our financial position, results of operations and funds available for
distribution to shareholders could be adversely affected by any economic
downturn affecting the operating results at our properties in the Nashville,
Tennessee area, which is our single largest market.
Our properties located in Nashville, TN accounted for 6.2% of our revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2005. No other market accounted for more than
3.5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our financial
position and results of operations will therefore be affected by the results
experienced at properties located in the Nashville, TN area.
Rising interest rates could both increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely
affecting our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to our
stockholders, and decrease our stock price, if investors seek higher yields
through other investments.
15
An environment of rising interest rates could lead holders of our
securities to seek higher yields through other investments, which could
adversely affect the market price of our stock. One of the factors that may
influence the price of our stock in public markets is the annual distribution
rate we pay as compared with the yields on alternative investments. Numerous
other factors, such as governmental regulatory action and tax laws, could have a
significant impact on the future market price of our stock. In addition,
increases in market interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs for
us, which may adversely affect our cash flow and the amounts available for
distributions to our stockholders.
Recent changes in the U.S. federal income tax treatment of corporate dividends
may make our stock less attractive to investors, thereby lowering our stock
price.
In May 2003, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for dividends
received by individual taxpayers was reduced generally from 38.6% to 15% (from
January 1, 2003 through 2008). However, dividends payable by REITs are generally
not eligible for such treatment. Although this legislation did not have a
directly adverse effect on the taxation of REITs or dividends paid by REITs, the
more favorable treatment for non-REIT dividends could cause individual investors
to consider investments in non-REIT corporations as more attractive relative to
an investment in a REIT, which could have an adverse impact on the market price
of our stock.
Certain of our credit facilities, the loss of which could have a material,
adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations, are
conditioned upon the Operating Partnership continuing to be managed by certain
members of its current senior management and by such members of senior
management continuing to own a significant direct or indirect equity interest in
the Operating Partnership.
Certain of the Operating Partnership's lines of credit are conditioned upon
the Operating Partnership continuing to be managed by certain members of its
current senior management and by such members of senior management continuing to
own a significant direct or indirect equity interest in the Operating
Partnership (including any shares of our common stock owned by such members of
senior management may hold in us). If the failure of one or more of these
conditions resulted in the loss of these credit facilities and we were unable to
obtain suitable replacement financing, such loss could have a material, adverse
impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Our insurance coverage may change in the future, and may not include coverage
for acts of terrorism.
The general liability and property casualty insurance policies on our
Properties currently include loss resulting from acts of terrorism, whether
foreign or domestic. The cost of general liability and property casualty
insurance policies that include coverage for acts of terrorism has risen
significantly post-September 11, 2001. The cost of coverage for acts of
terrorism is currently mitigated by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act ("TRIA").
If TRIA is not extended beyond 2006, we may incur higher insurance costs and
greater difficulty in obtaining insurance that covers terrorist-related damages.
Our tenants may also experience similar difficulties. We are unable at this time
to predict whether we will continue our policy coverage as currently structured
when our policies are up for renewal on December 31, 2006.
RISKS RELATED TO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our funds available for
distribution to stockholders will be reduced.
We intend to continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code. Although we believe that we are organized and operate in
such a manner, no assurance can be given that we currently qualify and in the
future will continue to qualify as a REIT. Such qualification involves the
application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for
16
which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The
determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within
our control may affect our ability to qualify. In addition, no assurance can be
given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court
decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to
qualification or its corresponding federal income tax consequences.
If in any taxable year we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not
be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our
taxable income and we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable
income at regular corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under certain
statutory provisions, we also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for
the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost.
As a result, the funds available for distribution to our stockholders would be
reduced for each of the years involved. We currently intend to operate in a
manner designed to qualify as a REIT. However, it is possible that future
economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause our board of
directors, with the consent of a majority of our stockholders, to revoke the
REIT election.
Any issuance or transfer of our capital stock to any person in excess of the
applicable limits on ownership necessary to maintain our status as a REIT would
be deemed void ab initio, and those shares would automatically be transferred to
a non-affiliated charitable trust.
To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more
than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year. Our
certificate of incorporation generally prohibits ownership of more than 6% of
the outstanding shares of our capital stock by any single stockholder determined
by vote, value or number of shares (other than Charles Lebovitz, our Chief
Executive Officer, David Jacobs, Richard Jacobs and their affiliates under the
Internal Revenue Code's attribution rules). The affirmative vote of 66 (2)/3% of
our outstanding voting stock is required to amend this provision.
Our board of directors may, subject to certain conditions, waive the
applicable ownership limit upon receipt of a ruling from the IRS or an opinion
of counsel to the effect that such ownership will not jeopardize our status as a
REIT. Absent any such waiver, however, any issuance or transfer of our capital
stock to any person in excess of the applicable ownership limit or any issuance
or transfer of shares of such stock which would cause us to be beneficially
owned by fewer than 100 persons, will be null and void and the intended
transferee will acquire no rights to the stock. Instead, such issuance or
transfer with respect to that number of shares that would be owned by the
transferee in excess of the ownership limit provision would be deemed void ab
initio and those shares would automatically be transferred to a trust for the
exclusive benefit of a charitable beneficiary to be designated by us, with a
trustee designated by us, but who would not be affiliated with us or with the
prohibited owner. Any acquisition of our capital stock and continued holding or
ownership of our capital stock constitutes, under our certificate of
incorporation, a continuous representation of compliance with the applicable
ownership limit.
In order to maintain our status as a REIT avoid the imposition of certain
additional taxes under the Internal Revenue Code, we must satisfy minimum
requirements for distributions to shareholders, which may limit the amount of
cash we might otherwise have been able to retain for use in growing our
business.
To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we
generally will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least
90% of our taxable income after certain adjustments. However, to the extent that
we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or distribute at least 90% but
less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, we will be subject to
tax on the undistributed amount at ordinary and capital gains corporate tax
rates, as the case may be. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible
excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us
during each calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income
17
for such calendar year, 95% of our capital gain net income for the calendar year
and any amount of such income that was not distributed in prior years. In the
case of property acquisitions, including our initial formation, where individual
properties are contributed to our Operating Partnership for Operating
Partnership units, we have assumed the tax basis and depreciation schedules of
the entities' contributing properties. The relatively low tax basis of such
contributed properties may have the effect of increasing the cash amounts we are
required to distribute as dividends, thereby potentially limiting the amount of
cash we might otherwise have been able to retain for use in growing our
business. This low tax basis may also have the effect of reducing or eliminating
the portion of distributions made by us that are treated as a non-taxable return
of capital.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The ownership limit described above, as well as certain provisions in our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our stockholder
rights plan, and certain provisions of Delaware law may hinder any attempt to
acquire us.
Certain provisions of Delaware law, as well as of our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and agreements to which we are a party,
may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a third party from
making an acquisition proposal for us and may inhibit a change in control that
some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best
interest or that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a
premium over the then-prevailing market prices for their shares. These
provisions and agreements may be summarized as follows:
|X| THE OWNERSHIP LIMIT - As described above, to maintain our status as a
REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of
our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by
five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to
include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year. Our
certificate of incorporation generally prohibits ownership of more
than 6% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock by any single
stockholder determined by value (other than Charles Lebovitz, David
Jacobs, Richard Jacobs and their affiliates under the Internal Revenue
Code's attribution rules). In addition to preserving our status as a
REIT, the ownership limit may have the effect of precluding an
acquisition of control of us without the approval of our board of
directors.
|X| CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS; REMOVAL FOR CAUSE - Our certificate of
incorporation provides for a board of directors divided into three
classes, with one class elected each year to serve for a three-year
term. As a result, at least two annual meetings of stockholders may be
required for the stockholders to change a majority of our board of
directors. In addition, our stockholders can only remove directors for
cause and only by a vote of 75% of the outstanding voting stock.
Collectively, these provisions make it more difficult to change the
composition of our board of directors and may have the effect of
encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other
unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board of directors
rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts.
|X| ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS - Our bylaws
establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder
proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as
directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our
stockholders. These procedures generally require advance written
notice of any such proposals, containing prescribed information, to be
given to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less
than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting.
|X| VOTE REQUIRED TO AMEND BYLAWS - A vote of 66 (2)/3% of the outstanding
voting stock is necessary to amend our bylaws.
18
|X| STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN - We have a stockholder rights plan, which may
delay, deter or prevent a change in control unless the acquirer
negotiates with our board of directors and the board of directors
approves the transaction. The rights plan generally would be triggered
if an entity, group or person acquires (or announces a plan to
acquire) 15% or more of our common stock. If such transaction is not
approved by our board of directors, the effect of the stockholder
rights plan would be to allow our stockholders to purchase shares of
our common stock, or the common stock or other merger consideration
paid by the acquiring entity, at an effective 50% discount.
|X| DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER STATUTE - We are a Delaware corporation and are
subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In
general, Section 203 prevents an "interested stockholder" (defined
generally as a person owning 15% or more of a company's outstanding
voting stock) from engaging in a "business combination" (as defined in
Section 203) with us for three years following the date that person
becomes an interested stockholder unless:
(a) before that person became an interested holder, our board of
directors approved the transaction in which the interested holder
became an interested stockholder or approved the business
combination;
(b) upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the
interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the
interested stockholder owns 85% of our voting stock outstanding
at the time the transaction commenced (excluding stock held by
directors who are also officers and by employee stock plans that
do not provide employees with the right to determine
confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be
tendered in a tender or exchange offer); or
(c) following the transaction in which that person became an
interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by
our board of directors and authorized at a meeting of
stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock not owned by the
interested stockholder.
Under Section 203, these restrictions also do not apply to certain
business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following
the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions
involving us and a person who was not an interested stockholder during
the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with
the approval of a majority of our directors, if that extraordinary
transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors
who were directors before any person became an interested stockholder
in the previous three years or who were recommended for election or
elected to succeed such directors by a majority of directors then in
office.
Certain ownership interests held by members of our senior management may tend to
create conflicts of interest between such individuals and the interests of the
Company and our Operating Partnership.
|X| RETAINED PROPERTY INTERESTS - Members of our senior management own
interests in certain real estate properties that were retained by them
at the time of our initial public offering. These consist primarily of
outparcels at certain of our properties, which are being offered for
sale through our management company. As a result, these members of our
senior management have interests that could conflict with the
interests of the Company, our shareholders and the Operating
Partnership with respect to any transaction involving these
properties.
|X| TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE SALE OR REFINANCING OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES -
Since certain of our properties had unrealized gain attributable to
the difference between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in
such properties immediately prior to their contribution to the
Operating Partnership, a taxable sale of any such properties, or a
19
significant reduction in the debt encumbering such properties, could
cause adverse tax consequences to the members of our senior management
who owned interests in our predecessor entities. As a result, members
of our senior management might not favor a sale of a property or a
significant reduction in debt even though such a sale or reduction
could be beneficial to us and the Operating Partnership. Our bylaws
provide that any decision relating to the potential sale of any
property that would result in a disproportionately higher taxable
income for members of our senior management than for us and our
stockholders, or that would result in a significant reduction in such
property's debt, must be made by a majority of the independent
directors of the board of directors. The Operating Partnership is
required, in the case of such a sale, to distribute to its partners,
at a minimum, all of the net cash proceeds from such sale up to an
amount reasonably believed necessary to enable members of our senior
management to pay any income tax liability arising from such sale.
|X| INTERESTS IN OTHER ENTITIES; POLICIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS -
Certain entities owned in whole or in part by members of our senior
management, including the construction company that built or renovated
most of our properties, may continue to perform services for, or
transact business with, us and the Operating Partnership. Furthermore,
certain property tenants are affiliated with members of our senior
management. Accordingly, although our bylaws provide that any contract
or transaction between us or the Operating Partnership and one or more
of our directors or officers, or between us or the Operating
Partnership and any other entity in which one or more of our directors
or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest,
must be approved by our disinterested directors or stockholders after
the material facts of the relationship or interest of the contract or
transaction are disclosed or are known to them, these affiliations
could nevertheless create conflicts between the interests of these
members of senior management and the interests of the Company, our
shareholders and the Operating Partnership in relation to any
transactions between us and any of these entities.

Malls
We own a controlling interest in 72 Malls and non-controlling interests in
seven Malls. We also own a controlling interest in three Malls and two Mall
expansions that are currently under construction. The Malls are primarily
located in middle markets and have strong competitive positions because they are
the only, or dominant, regional mall in their respective trade areas.
The Malls are generally anchored by two or more department stores and a
wide variety of mall stores. Anchor tenants own or lease their stores and
non-anchor stores (20,000 square feet or less) lease their locations. Additional
freestanding stores and restaurants that either own or lease their stores are
typically located along the perimeter of the Malls' parking areas.
We classify our regional malls into two categories - malls that have
completed their initial lease-up are referred to as stabilized malls and malls
that are in their initial lease-up phase and have not been open for three
calendar years are referred to as non-stabilized malls. The non-stabilized malls
currently include Parkway Place in Huntsville, AL, which opened in October 2002;
Coastal Grand-Myrtle Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC, which opened in March 2004;
Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, CA, which opened in March 2005; Southaven
20
Towne Center in Southaven, MS, which opened in October 2005; and Gulf Coast Town
Center (Phase I) in Ft. Myers, FL, which opened in November 2005.
We own the land underlying each Mall in fee simple interest, except for
Walnut Square, Westgate Mall, St. Clair Square, Bonita Lakes Mall, Meridian
Mall, Stroud Mall, Wausau Center, Chapel Hill Mall, Eastgate Mall, Eastland Mall
and Mall of Acadiana. We lease all or a portion of the land at each of these
Malls subject to long-term ground leases.
The following table sets forth certain information for each of the Malls as
of December 31, 2005.

Anchors
Anchors are an important factor in a Mall's successful performance. The
public's identification with a mall property typically focuses on the anchor
tenants. Mall anchors are generally a department store whose merchandise appeals
to a broad range of shoppers and plays a significant role in generating customer
traffic and creating a desirable location for the mall store tenants.
Anchors may own their stores and the land underneath, as well as the
adjacent parking areas, or may enter into long-term leases with respect to their
stores. Rental rates for anchor tenants are significantly lower than the rents
charged to mall store tenants. Anchors account for 5.8% of the total revenues
from our Properties. Each anchor that owns its store has entered into an
operating and reciprocal easement agreement with us covering items such as
operating covenants, reciprocal easements, property operations, initial
construction and future expansion.
During 2005, we added the following anchors and junior anchor boxes (i.e.,
non-traditional anchors) to the following Malls:

the Operating Partnership own less than a 100% interest in the Malls.
(2) Represents reimbursements for real estate taxes, insurance, common area
maintenance charges and certain capital expenditures.
Associated Centers
We own a controlling interest in 27 Associated Centers and a
non-controlling interest in three Associated Centers. We also own a controlling
interest in two Associated Centers that were under construction at December 31,
2005.
Associated Centers are retail properties that are adjacent to a regional
mall complex and include one or more anchors, or big box retailers, along with
smaller tenants. Anchor tenants typically include tenants such as TJ Maxx,
Target, Toys R Us and Goody's. Associated Centers are managed by the staff at
the Mall it is adjacent to and usually benefit from the customers drawn to the
Mall.
28
We own the land underlying the Associated Centers in fee simple interest,
except for Bonita Lakes Crossing, which is subject to a long-term ground lease.

Community Centers
We own a controlling interest in seven Community Centers. We also own a
non-controlling interest in one Community Center and a controlling interest in
one community center expansion that are currently under construction.
Community Centers typically have less development risk because of shorter
development periods and lower costs. While Community Centers generally maintain
higher occupancy levels and are more stable, they typically have slower rent
growth because the anchor stores' rents are typically fixed and are for longer
terms.
Community Centers are designed to attract local and regional area customers
and are typically anchored by a combination of supermarkets, or value-priced
stores that attract shoppers to each center's small shops. The tenants at our
Community Centers typically offer necessities, value-oriented and convenience
merchandise.
We own the land underlying the Community Centers in fee simple interest,
except for Massard Crossing and Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace, which are
subject to long-term ground leases for all or a portion of the land underlying
these properties.

Executive Overview
We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated real estate
investment trust ("REIT") that is engaged in the ownership, development,
acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls and
community centers. Our shopping centers are located in 27 states, but primarily
in the southeastern and midwestern United States.
As of December 31, 2005, we owned controlling interests in 72 regional
malls (we include large open-air centers in malls), 27 associated centers (each
adjacent to a regional mall), seven community centers, and three office
buildings, including our corporate office building. We consolidate the financial
statements of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or
where we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. As of
December 31, 2005, we owned non-controlling interests in seven regional malls
and three associated centers. Because major decisions such as the acquisition,
sale or refinancing of principal partnership or joint venture assets must be
approved by one or more of the other partners, we do not control these
partnerships and joint ventures and, accordingly, account for these investments
using the equity method. We had two mall expansions, two open-air shopping
centers, one open-air shopping center expansion, two associated centers, one
community center, which is owned in a joint venture, and one community center
expansion under construction as of December 31, 2005.
The majority of our revenues are derived from leases with retail tenants
and generally include minimum rents, percentage rents based on tenants' sales
volumes and reimbursements from tenants for expenditures related to property
operating expenses, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, as well as
certain capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral
land at the properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is
determined that we can realize a premium value for the assets. Proceeds from
such sales are generally used to reduce borrowings on our credit facilities.
38
We expanded our portfolio in 2005 with the acquisition of six malls and
one associated center, representing a total investment of $884.7 million. We
also formed a 50/50 joint venture to own one mall and its associated center,
which was valued at $283.5 million. We opened seven new developments and seven
property expansions totaling 2.4 million square feet, including the 754,000
square foot regional mall Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, CA, which we own in
a joint venture. We have approximately 1.7 million square feet of new
developments, which represent $191.1 million of net investment, that are
scheduled to open during 2006. We also added a total of 14 big box tenants and
an anchor retailer to our malls, which have made positive contributions by
strengthening the tenant mix of these properties.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2005 to the Year Ended December 31,
2004
The following significant transactions impacted the consolidated results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2004:
|X| Since January 1, 2004, we have acquired or opened 17 malls, two
open-air centers and five associated centers (collectively referred to
as the "2005 New Properties"). The 2005 New Properties are as follows:

|X| In January 2005, two power centers, one community center and one
community center expansion were sold to Galileo America LLC ("Galileo
America"). Since we had a continuing involvement with these properties
39
through our ownership interest in Galileo America and the agreement
under which we were the exclusive manager of the properties, the
results of operations of these properties were not reflected in
discontinued operations. Therefore, the year ended December 31, 2005,
does not include a significant amount of revenues and expenses related
to these properties, whereas the year ended December 31, 2004 includes
a full period of revenues and expenses related to these properties.
|X| In August 2005, Galileo America redeemed our 8.4% ownership interest
by distributing two community centers to us: Springdale Center in
Mobile, AL, and Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace in Wilkes-Barre
Township, PA. We also sold our management and advisory contracts with
Galileo America to New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("New Plan"). See
Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for a more thorough
discussion of these transactions.
Properties that were in operation for the entire period during 2005 and
2004 are referred to as the "2005 Comparable Properties" in this section.
Revenues
The $126.3 million increase in revenues was primarily attributable to
increases of $92.2 million from the 2005 New Properties and $30.4 million from
the 2005 Comparable Properties. These increases were offset by a reduction in
revenues of $7.0 million related to the community centers that were sold to
Galileo America in January 2005.
The increase in revenues of the 2005 Comparable Properties was driven by
our ability to maintain high occupancy levels while achieving a weighted average
increase of 6.5% in rents from both new leases and lease renewals for comparable
small shop spaces, as well as an increase in percentage rents.
The increase in management, development and leasing fees of $10.7 million
was primarily attributable to management and leasing fees received from Galileo
America prior to the redemption of our interest in Galileo America, plus an $8.0
million acquisition fee received from Galileo America that was related to
Galileo America's acquisition of an approximately $1.0 billion portfolio of
shopping center properties from New Plan.
Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses including real estate taxes and maintenance and
repairs, increased as a result of increases of $29.7 million from the 2005 New
Properties and $1.6 million from the 2005 Comparable Properties. This was offset
by a decrease of $2.6 million related to the community centers that were sold to
Galileo America in January 2005.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from
increases of $28.6 million from the 2005 New Properties and $8.9 million from
the 2005 Comparable Properties. The increase attributable to the 2005 Comparable
Properties is due to ongoing capital expenditures for renovations, expansions,
tenant allowances and deferred maintenance.
General and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million during 2005.
Severance packages for individuals affected by the sale of our management and
advisory contracts with Galileo America contributed $1.3 million to the
increase. The remainder of the increase is related to additional salaries and
benefits for the personnel added to manage the properties acquired during 2005
and 2004 combined with annual compensation increases for existing personnel. As
a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 4.3%
in 2005 compared with 4.5% in 2004.
We recognized a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $1.3 million
during 2005, which was related to a $1.0 million reduction in the carrying value
40
of assets identified as held for sale at December 31, 2005, and an additional
loss of $0.3 million related to the properties that were sold to Galileo America
in January 2005. The additional impairment loss of $0.3 million was related the
adjustment of certain estimated amounts when the actual amounts became known in
2005. We recognized a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $3.1 million
during 2004 when we reduced the carrying value of ten community centers to their
respective estimated fair values. The ten community centers included four
community centers that were sold to Galileo America in January 2005, five
community centers that were sold to a third party during March 2005 and one
community center that was sold for a loss during the fourth quarter of 2004.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense increased $31.0 million primarily due to the debt on the
2005 New Properties, the refinancings that were completed on the 2005 Comparable
Properties and an increase in variable interest rates.
Gain on sales of real estate assets of $53.6 million in 2005 includes $44.2
million of gains related to the redemption of our ownership interest in Galileo
America, $1.0 million from the recognition of deferred gain on properties that
were previously sold to Galileo America and $8.4 million of gains on the sales
of eleven outparcels. The gain on sales of real estate assets of $29.3 million
in 2004 included $26.8 million of gain related to the second phase of the
Galileo America joint venture and $2.5 million of gain on sales of seven
outparcels at various properties.
The gain on sales of management contracts of $21.6 million represents the
gain on the sale of our management and advisory contracts with Galileo America
to New Plan in August 2005.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $1.8 million
in 2005 as a result the redemption of our interest in Galileo America in August
2005. Additionally, although Coastal Grand-Myrtle Beach and Imperial Valley Mall
opened in March 2004 and March 2005, respectively, our equity in the earnings of
these two properties was flat compared to the prior year. This was due to the
mortgage loan that was placed on Coastal Grand-Myrtle Beach in September 2004,
which is at a fixed interest rate that is higher than the previous variable rate
loan.
Discontinued operations for 2005 represent the operations of the six
community centers we sold during 2005, the operations of the two community
centers that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2005 and the
operations of three community centers that were sold in May 2006. Discontinued
operations during 2004 reflect the results of two community centers that we sold
during 2004, as well as the results of the properties described in the previous
sentence.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2004 to the Year Ended December 31,
2003
The following significant transactions impacted the consolidated results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2003:
|X| Since January 1, 2003, we have acquired or opened 15 malls, six
associated centers and two community centers (collectively referred to
as the "2004 New Properties"). The 2004 New Properties are as follows:

The Shoppes at Panama City Panama City, FL March 2004
|X| In October 2003, we sold 41 community centers to Galileo America. We
sold six additional community centers to Galileo America in January
2004. Since we had continuing involvement with these properties
through our ownership interest in Galileo America and our role as
manager of the properties, the results of operations of these
properties were not reflected in discontinued operations. Therefore,
the year ended December 31, 2003 includes results of operations for
these properties through the dates they were sold.
|X| Effective January 1, 2004, we began to consolidate the results of
operations of PPG Venture I Limited Partnership, which owns two
community centers and one associated center (the "PPG Properties"), as
a result of the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement. The PPG
Properties were accounted for as unconsolidated affiliates using the
equity method of accounting prior to January 1, 2004.
Properties that were in operation for the entire period during 2004 and
2003 are referred to as the "2004 Comparable Properties" in this section.
Revenues
The $87.4 million increase in revenues was primarily attributable to
increases of $116.0 million from the 2004 New Properties, $7.5 million related
to the PPG Properties and $2.1 million from the 2004 Comparable Properties.
These increases were offset by a reduction in revenues of $42.5 million related
to the community centers that were sold to Galileo America in October 2003 and
January 2004.
The increase in revenues of the 2004 Comparable Properties was driven by
our ability to maintain high occupancy levels, while achieving an increase of
3.3% in rents from both new leases and lease renewals for comparable small shop
spaces.
An increase in management and leasing fees of $2.8 million received from
Galileo America was the primary contributor to the $4.3 million increase in
42
management, development and leasing fees. The $2.8 million increase in other
revenues is primarily attributable to a growth in revenues that we receive from
providing security and maintenance services to third parties.
Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses including real estate taxes and maintenance and
repairs, increased as a result of increases of $39.8 million from the 2004 New
Properties and $2.2 million from the PPG Properties, offset by decreases of $9.4
million related to the community centers that were sold to Galileo America and
$15.1 million in operating expenses of the 2004 Comparable Properties.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from
increases of $29.0 million from the 2004 New Properties, $1.0 million related to
the PPG Properties and $6.6 million from the 2004 Comparable Properties. These
increases were offset by a decrease of $7.4 million related to the community
centers that we sold to Galileo America in October 2003 and January 2004. The
increase attributable to the 2004 Comparable Properties is due to ongoing
capital expenditures for renovations, expansions, tenant allowances and deferred
maintenance.
General and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million during 2004. As
a percentage of revenues, this was only a 0.1% increase over the comparable 2003
amount. General and administrative expenses were significantly impacted by an
additional $1.1 million of expenses in 2004 related to compliance with Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. State tax expenses also increased $1.8
million as a result of our continued growth. The remainder of the increase is
attributable to additional salaries and benefits for the personnel added to
manage the properties acquired during 2004 and 2003 combined with annual
compensation increases for existing personnel.
We identified ten community centers and recorded a loss on impairment of
real estate assets of $3.1 million to reduce the carrying value of these
properties to their respective estimated fair values based on estimates of the
selling prices to be received from the sales of nine centers in 2005. One
community center was sold for a loss during the fourth quarter of 2004.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense increased $23.9 million primarily due to the debt on the
2004 New Properties and the PPG Properties, as well as the additional financings
that were obtained on the 2004 Comparable Properties. The increase was offset by
a reduction in interest expense related to the Galileo Transaction as well as
normal principal amortization.
The gain on sales of real estate assets of $29.3 million in 2004 included
$26.8 million of gain related to the Galileo Transaction and $2.5 million of
gain on sales of seven outparcels at various properties.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $5.4 million
in 2004 as a result of our interest in Galileo America and the opening of
Coastal Grand-Myrtle Beach in March 2004.
We sold two community centers during 2004 for a gain on discontinued
operations of $0.9 million. We sold one community center for a loss of $0.1
million, which was included in loss on impairment of real estate assets.
Operating income from discontinued operations decreased in 2004 because the
properties were owned for a shorter period of time in 2004 than in 2003, and
because 2003 includes the operations of properties that were sold during 2003.
Operational Review
The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with
tenants achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter because
43
of the holiday season, which results in higher percentage rent income in the
fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their short-term rents
during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are
generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations
realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be
experienced over the course of the fiscal year.
We classify our regional malls into two categories - malls that have
completed their initial lease-up are referred to as stabilized malls and malls
that are in their initial lease-up phase and have not been open for three
calendar years are referred to as non-stabilized malls. The non-stabilized malls
currently include Parkway Place in Huntsville, AL, which opened in October 2002;
Coastal Grand-Myrtle Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC, which opened in March 2004;
Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, CA, which opened in March 2005; Southaven
Towne Center in Southaven, MS, which opened in October 2005; and Gulf Coast Town
Center (Phase I) in Ft. Myers, FL, which opened in November 2005.
We derive a significant amount of our revenues from the mall properties.
The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
---------------------------------
2005 2004
----------------- ---------------
Malls 91.2% 90.2%
Associated centers 3.8% 4.1%
Community centers 0.9% 2.3%
Mortgages, office building and other 4.1% 3.4%
Sales and Occupancy Costs
Mall store sales (for those tenants who occupy 10,000 square feet or less
and have reported sales) in the stabilized malls increased 4.1% on a comparable
per square foot basis to $330 per square foot for 2005 compared with $317 per
square foot for 2004.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for the stabilized malls were
11.8% and 12.0% for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
There was $28.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of
December 31, 2005, an increase of $3.1 million from December 31, 2004. Cash
flows from operations are used to fund short-term liquidity and capital needs
such as tenant construction allowances, capital expenditures and payments of
dividends and distributions. For longer-term liquidity needs such as
acquisitions, new developments, renovations and expansions, we typically rely on
property specific mortgages (which are generally non-recourse), construction and
term loans, revolving lines of credit, common stock, preferred stock, joint
venture investments and a minority interest in the Operating Partnership.
Cash provided by operating activities increased $50.4 million to $389.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily
attributable to the operations of the 2005 New Properties plus the acquisition
fee earned in connection with Galileo America's transaction with New Plan.
Debt
During 2005, we borrowed $946.8 million under mortgage and other notes
payable and paid $353.8 million to reduce outstanding borrowings. We also
assumed $385.8 million in debt and recorded a debt premium of $10.6 million in
connection with the acquisitions of six malls and two associated centers. We
paid $6.5 million in connection with the extinguishment of certain mortgage
notes payable during 2005 and paid $3.4 million in financing costs in connection
with the new borrowings.
The following tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share,
including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding minority
investors' share of consolidated properties, because we believe this provides
investors and lenders a clearer understanding of our total debt obligations and
liquidity (in thousands):

(1) Weighted average interest rate including the effect of debt premiums, but
excluding amortization of deferred financing costs.
In February 2005, we amended one of our secured credit facilities to
increase the total availability from $80.0 million to $100.0 million and to
extend the maturity by one year to June 2007. The interest rate remained at
LIBOR plus 1.00% until it was reduced to LIBOR plus 0.9% in December 2005.
As of December 31, 2005, we had four secured lines of credit with total
availability of $503.0 million that are used for construction, acquisition and
working capital purposes. Each of these lines is secured by mortgages on certain
of our operating properties. There were total borrowings of $412.3 million
outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.29% as of December 31,
2005. In February 2006, we amended one of our secured credit facilities to
increase the maximum availability from $373.0 million to $476.0 million, extend
the maturity date from February 28, 2006 to February 28, 2009 plus a one-year
extension option, increase the minimum tangible net worth requirement, as
defined, from $1.0 billion to $1.37 billion and increase the limit on the
maximum availability that the Company may request from $500.0 million to $650.0
million.
In March 2005, we retired a mortgage note payable of $11.1 million and
recognized a loss on extinguishment of $0.9 million, which consisted of a
prepayment fee of $0.8 million and the write-off of unamortized deferred
financing costs of $0.1 million.
In September 2005, we obtained a ten-year, non-recourse mortgage note
payable of $60.0 million on Imperial Valley Mall, one of our unconsolidated
affiliates, that has a fixed interest rate of 4.985% and matures in September
2015. The proceeds of the loan were used to retire the outstanding borrowings of
$58.3 million under the construction loan that was incurred to develop Imperial
Valley Mall.
Also in September 2005, we retired two mortgage notes payable totaling
$52.6 million, including unamortized debt premiums of $1.3 million. We
recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of less than $0.1
million, which consisted of a prepayment fee of $1.1 million and the write-off
of unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.2 million, offset by the write-off
of the unamortized debt premium of $1.3 million.
In October 2005, we obtained four new mortgage notes payable totaling
$392.0 million, which are ten-year, non-recourse loans having a weighted average
interest rate of 5.02%. In connection with obtaining these new loans, we retired
four loans totaling $179.5 million. As a result of the retirement of these four
loans, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.2 million in October
46
2005, which includes prepayment fees of $4.6 million and the write-off of
unamortized deferred financings costs of $0.8 million.
The secured and unsecured credit facilities contain, among other
restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain
coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements, and limitations on cash flow
distributions. We were in compliance with all financial covenants and
restrictions under our credit facilities at December 31, 2005. Additionally,
certain property-specific mortgage notes payable require the maintenance of debt
service coverage ratios on their respective properties. At December 31, 2005,
the properties subject to these mortgage notes payable were in compliance with
the applicable ratios.
We expect to refinance the majority of mortgage and other notes payable
maturing over the next four years with replacement loans. Based on our pro rata
share of total debt, there is $978.7 million of debt that is scheduled to mature
in 2006. In January 2006, we extended the maturity of $358.2 million of this
debt to 2009. There are extension options in place to extend the maturity of
$509.1 million of this debt to 2007. We expect to repay or refinance the
remaining $111.4 million of maturing loans.
Equity
At our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 9, 2005, our shareholders
approved an increase in the authorized shares of the common stock under our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation to 180,000,000 shares from
95,000,000 shares. On May 10, 2005, our board of directors approved a
two-for-one stock split of our common stock, which was effected in the form of a
stock dividend. The record date for the stock split was June 1, 2005, and the
distribution date was June 15, 2005. We retained the current par value of $0.01
per share for all shares of common stock. The Operating Partnership currently
has common units and special common units of limited partner interest
outstanding that may be exchanged by their holders, under certain circumstances,
for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. These common units and
special common units were also split on a two-for-one basis so that they
continue to be exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into shares of our common
stock. All references to numbers of common shares and per share data in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and this
annual report have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive
basis. Shareholders' equity reflects the stock split through a reclassification
of $0.3 million from Additional Paid-In Capital to Common Stock, which
represents the par value of the additional shares resulting from the split.
In October 2005, our board of directors declared a special one-time cash
dividend for our common stock of $0.09 per share. The dividend was payable on
January 16, 2006, to shareholders of record as of December 30, 2005. The special
dividend was declared as a result of the taxable gains generated from the sale
of our management and advisory contracts with Galileo America that is discussed
in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2005, our board of directors approved a plan to repurchase up
to $60.0 million of our common stock by December 31, 2006. The stock repurchase
plan was adopted to provide us the opportunity to repurchase shares relatively
equivalent to the Series K Special Common Units that were issued in connection
with the acquisition of the three-mall portfolio that is discussed in Note 3 to
the consolidated financial statements. We had repurchased 1,371,034 shares of
our common stock as of December 31, 2005 for a total of $55.0 million, or a
weighted average cost of $40.11 per share. As of December 31, 2005, we had paid
$48.3 million of this amount and had a payable of $6.7 million for the
remainder. We do not intend to repurchase any additional shares subsequent to
December 31, 2005.
In October 2005, we issued 174,403 shares of common stock to one of our
officers when the officer's deferred compensation agreement was terminated. We
had accrued all compensation expense related to the agreement as it was earned
during the term of the agreement.
47
We received $10.2 million in proceeds from issuances of common stock during
2005 from exercises of employee stock options and our dividend reinvestment
plan.
During 2005 we paid dividends of $133.7 million to holders of our common
stock and our preferred stock, as well as $89.5 million in distributions to the
minority interest investors in our Operating Partnership and certain shopping
center properties.
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, holders of 1,507,649 units of limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership exercised their conversion
rights, which are described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
We have elected to issue 1,480,067 shares of common stock and $1,112 in cash in
exchange for these units.
As a publicly traded company, we have access to capital through both the
public equity and debt markets. In January 2006, we filed a shelf registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission authorizing us to publicly
issue shares of preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase shares of
common stock. There is no limit to the offering price or number of shares that
we may issue under this shelf registration statement.
We anticipate that the combination of equity and debt sources will, for the
foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to continue our capital programs
substantially as in the past and make distributions to our shareholders in
accordance with the requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts.
Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market
capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of
capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total
consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of our equity, our
debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market-value equity) ratio was as
follows at December 31, 2005 (in thousands, except stock prices):

============ ============ ============ =========== =============
(1) Represents principal and interest payments due under terms of mortgage and
other notes payable and includes $1,059,116 of variable-rate debt on seven
operating properties, two construction loans, four secured credit
facilities and one unsecured credit facility. The variable-rate loans on
the operating properties call for payments of interest only with the total
principal due at maturity. The construction loans and credit facilities do
not require scheduled principal payments. The future contractual
obligations for all variable-rate indebtedness reflect payments of interest
only throughout the term of the debt with the total outstanding principal
at December 31, 2005 due at maturity. The future interest payments are
projected based on the interest rates that were in effect at December 31,
2005. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information regarding the terms of long-term debt.
(2) Includes $26,600 of variable-rate indebtedness. Future contractual
obligations have been projected using the same assumptions as used in (1)
above.
(3) Obligations where we own the buildings and improvements, but lease the
underlying land under long-term ground leases. The maturities of these
leases range from 2006 to 2091 and generally provide for renewal options.
Renewal options have not been included in the future contractual
obligations.
(4) Represents the remaining balance to be incurred under construction
contracts that had been entered into as of December 31, 2005, but were not
complete. The contracts are primarily for development, renovation and
expansion of properties.
Capital Expenditures
We expect to continue to have access to the capital resources necessary to
expand and develop our business. Future development and acquisition activities
will be undertaken as suitable opportunities arise. We do not expect to pursue
these activities unless adequate sources of financing are available and we can
achieve satisfactory returns on our investments.
An annual capital expenditures budget is prepared for each property that is
intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital
expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include
reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary
funding for these expenditures.

(1) Amounts shown are 100% of the cost and cost to date.
There are construction loans in place for the costs of Gulf Coast Town
Center and Lakeview Pointe. We have commitments for construction loans that will
cover the costs of The Plaza at Fayette and the Shoppes at St. Clair. The
remaining costs will be funded with operating cash flows and the credit
facilities.
We have entered into a number of option agreements for the development of
future regional malls and community centers. Except for the projects listed in
the above table, we do not have any other material capital commitments.
Acquisitions
We acquired six malls and one associated center during 2005 for an
aggregate purchase price of $884.7 million, including transaction costs. We paid
$426.1 million in cash, assumed $385.8 million of debt and issued limited
partnership interests in the Operating Partnership valued at $72.9 million to
fund these acquisitions. The total cash paid was funded with borrowings under
our credit facilities and two new loans totaling $136.0 million. These
acquisitions are expected to generate an initial weighted-average, unleveraged
return of 6.2%.
We acquired a 50/50 joint venture interest in an open-air center that was
under development. We initially contributed $40.3 million for our 50% interest,
which was used to refund the aggregate acquisition and development costs
incurred with respect to the project that were previously paid by our joint
venture partner.
We acquired a 50/50 joint venture interest in a mall and its associated
center, which were valued at $283.5 million. Our initial capital contribution to
this joint venture was $1.6 million of cash.
50
Dispositions
We received a total of $64.4 million in net cash proceeds from the sales of
real estate assets during 2005. The third phase of the joint venture transaction
with Galileo America, which is discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial
statements, closed in January 2005 and generated net cash proceeds of $42.5
million. We received $8.3 million in cash proceeds and took a note receivable
for $2.6 million from the sale of six community centers. We also received $13.6
million in cash proceeds from the sales of eleven outparcels.
We received $21.6 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of our
management and advisory contracts with Galileo America. We also received an
acquisition fee of $8.0 million as a result of Galileo America's purchase of a
portfolio of properties from New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. See Note 5 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description
of these transactions.
Other Capital Expenditures
Including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, we
spent $52.8 million in 2005 for tenant allowances, which generate increased
rents from tenants over the terms of their leases. Deferred maintenance
expenditures were $31.5 million for 2005 and included $12.4 million for
resurfacing and improved lighting of parking lots, $11.7 million for roof
repairs and replacements and $7.4 million for various other expenditures.
Renovation expenditures were $27.5 million in 2005.
Deferred maintenance expenditures are billed to tenants as common area
maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5- to 15-year period.
Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of
which approximately 30% is recovered from tenants over a 5- to 15-year period.
We expect to renovate seven malls during 2006 at a total estimated cost of
$53.6 million, which will be funded from operating cash flows and availability
under our credit facilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Unconsolidated Affiliates
We have ownership interests in eleven unconsolidated affiliates that are
described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated
affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are
reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as "Investments in Unconsolidated
Affiliates." The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into
a joint venture with a third party:
|X| Third parties may approach us with opportunities where they have
obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they
may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the
development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We
enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is
viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We
typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide
management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the
property is placed in operation.
|X| We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the
value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the
property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source
of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real
estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for
growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a
100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to
manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for
management, leasing, development, financing and acquisition services
provided to the joint venture.
51
Guarantees
We may issue guarantees on the debt of a joint venture primarily because it
allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be
obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its
investment, and in a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We
may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty.
Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement
typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture.
As of December 31, 2005, we have guaranteed 50% of the debt of Parkway
Place L.P. The total amount outstanding at December 31, 2005, was $53.2 million,
of which we have guaranteed $26.6 million. The guaranty will expire when the
related debt matures in June 2008.
The Company's guarantees and the related accounting are more fully
described in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements. The following discussion describes our most
critical accounting policies, which are those that are both important to the
presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and that
require significant judgment or use of complex estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain
tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed
thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as
revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.
We receive reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance,
common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in
the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the
period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements
related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5
to 15 years and are recognized as revenue when billed.
We receive management, leasing and development fees from third parties and
unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a percentage of
revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are recognized as revenue
when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over
the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and
lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development and
leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates during the development
period are recognized as revenue to the extent of the third-party partners'
ownership interest. Fees to the extent of our ownership interest are recorded as
a reduction to our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.
Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined
that the sale has been consummated, the buyer's initial and continuing
investment is adequate, our receivable, if any, is not subject to future
subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset. When we have an ownership interest in the buyer, gain is
recognized to the extent of the third party partner's ownership interest and the
portion of the gain attributable to our ownership interest is deferred.
52
Real Estate Assets
We capitalize predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All
previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer
probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project
commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including
interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general
and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based
on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project.
Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements
and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
lives.
All acquired real estate assets are accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the
consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition.
The purchase price is allocated to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land,
buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements and (ii)
identifiable intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of above-
and below-market leases and in-place leases. We use estimates of fair value
based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other
valuation methods to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and
intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the
real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt with a stated interest rate that is
significantly different from market interest rates is recorded at its fair value
based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of
40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10
years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are amortized
over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and
below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to minimum rental revenue,
while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as
amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed
and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of
the debt using the effective interest method.
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate long-lived assets to determine if there has been
any impairment in their carrying values and record impairment losses if the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
their carrying amounts or if there are other indicators of impairment. If it is
determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset's carrying
value over its estimated fair value is charged to operations. We recorded losses
on the impairment of real estate assets of $1.3 million and $3.1 million in 2005
and 2004, respectively, which are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements. There were no impairment charges in 2003.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of
APB No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." SFAS No. 153 requires
exchanges of productive assets to be accounted for at fair value, rather than at
carryover basis, unless (1) neither the asset received nor the asset surrendered
has a fair value that is determinable within reasonable limits or (2) the
transactions lack commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 became effective for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods that began after June
15, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB released its final revised standard, SFAS No.
123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123(R) requires that a
public entity measure the cost of equity based service awards based on the
53
grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period
during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
award or the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity
instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. In April
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Staff Accounting Bulletin
to modify the effective date so that SFAS No. 123(R) can be adopted beginning
with the first interim reporting period of the next fiscal year beginning after
June 15, 2005, instead of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2005. We previously adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" effective January 1, 2003. We will adopt
SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, using a modified prospective application. We
estimate that this will result in the recognition of additional compensation
expense of approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the years ending
December 31, 2006 and 2007, which represents the unamortized deferred
compensation expense associated with all remaining stock options that were not
vested as of December 31, 2005.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 entitled, "Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections," which will be effective in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2006. This statement addresses the retrospective application of such
changes and corrections and we will follow the provision of this standard in the
event of any future accounting changes.
In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No.
04-05, "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a
Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited
Partners Have Certain Rights." EITF Issue No. 04-05 provides a framework for
determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a
limited partnership or a similar entity. EITF Issue No. 04-05 is effective after
June 29, 2005, for all newly formed limited partnerships and for any
pre-existing limited partnerships that modify their partnership agreements after
that date. General partners of all other limited partnerships are required to
apply the consensus no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect that the
adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-05 will have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 78-9-1,
"Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-05." The
EITF acknowledged that the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-05 conflicts with
certain aspects of Statement of Position ("SOP") 78-9, "Accounting for
Investments in Real Estate Ventures." The EITF agreed that the assessment of
whether a general partner, or the general partners as a group, controls a
limited partnership should be consistent for all limited partnerships,
irrespective of the industry within which the limited partnership operates.
Accordingly, the guidance in SOP 78-9 was amended in FSP 78-9-1 to be consistent
with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 04-05. The effective dates for this FSP are
the same as those for EITF Issue No. 04-05 described above. We do not expect
that the adoption of FSP 78-9-1 will have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"),
"Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," which clarifies the
accounting for conditional asset retirement obligations as used in SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." A conditional asset retirement
obligation is an unconditional legal obligation to perform an asset retirement
activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a
future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Therefore,
an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a
conditional asset retirement obligation under SFAS No. 143 if the fair value of
the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 permits, but does not require,
restatement of interim financial information. The provisions of FIN 47 are
effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2005.In accordance
with the transition provisions of FIN 47, we recorded an asset of $1.9 million
and a liability of $2.4 million related to conditional asset retirement
obligations as of December 31, 2005. The difference between the amounts of the
asset and liability of $0.5 million was recognized as maintenance and repairs
expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 2005.
54
Impact of Inflation
In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on our
operations because of the relatively low inflation rate. Substantially all
tenant leases do, however, contain provisions designed to protect us from the
impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive
percentage rent based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as
prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates
during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of
less than 10 years which may provide us the opportunity to replace existing
leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rent if rents of the
existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Most of the leases
require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common
area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, which reduces our exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a widely used measure of the operating
performance of real estate companies that supplements net income determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net
income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of
operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets,
and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on
the same basis. We compute FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on
preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods
used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating
performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation
and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines
predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have
historically risen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances
investors' understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an
indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of
our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.
FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income for purposes of evaluating our
operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
FFO increased 25.6% in 2005 to $390.0 million compared to $310.4 million in
2004. The 2005 New Properties generated 59% of the growth in FFO, while
consistently high portfolio occupancy, increases in rental rates from new and
renewal leasing and increased recoveries of operating expenses at the 2005
Comparable Properties accounted for 25% of the growth in FFO. The remaining 16%
of growth is primarily attributable to the gain from the sale of the Galileo
America management contracts to New Plan and the acquisition fee related to
Galileo America's acquisition of New Plan's portfolio.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our debt obligations. Our interest
rate risk management policy requires that we use derivative financial
instruments for hedging purposes only and that, if we do enter into a derivative
financial instrument, the derivative financial instrument be entered into with
only major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other
factors. We did not have any derivative financial instruments at December 31,
2005 and 2004.
Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated
variable-rate debt at December 31, 2005, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest
rates on variable rate debt would increase or decrease annual cash flows by
approximately $5.4 million and, after the effect of capitalized interest, annual
earnings by approximately $4.8 million.
Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated
debt at December 31, 2005, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the
fair value of debt by approximately $76.4 million, while a 0.5% decrease in
interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $78.9
million.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of its effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
56
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, an evaluation
was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective. No change in our internal
control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of
the period covered by this annual report that materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Report Of Management On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its consolidated
subsidiaries (the "Company"), is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of
the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting
purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As of December 31, 2005, management conducted an assessment of the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based
on the framework established in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
on this assessment, management has determined that the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 is effective.
The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies
and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets;
provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of
the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's
assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as
stated in their report appearing herein, which expresses an unqualified opinion
on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2005.
Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.:
57
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying
Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that CBL &
Associates Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005,
based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The
Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal
financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the
company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial
reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management
override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of
the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal
Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedules as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2005 of the Company and our report dated March 10, 2006, except for
the effects of the second paragraph of Note 22 as to which the date is December
26, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and
financial statement schedules.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
At a meeting held on October 26, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the
Company's board of directors approved the following actions affecting the
compensation of our executive officers:
2005 Base Salaries for Named Executive Officers
------------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee approved 2006 Base Salary levels for the
Company's officers and members of senior management, including setting the
following 2006 Base Salary levels for those individuals who qualify as "named
executive officers" (pursuant to Item 402(a)(3) of Securities and Exchange
Commission Regulation S-K):
Name: Title: 2006 Base Salary
--------------------------- ----------------------------------------- -----------------
Charles B. Lebovitz Chairman of the Board and $558,802
Chief Executive Officer
John N. Foy Vice Chairman of the Board, Chief $486,320
Financial Officer and Treasurer
Stephen D. Lebovitz Director, President and Secretary $475,000
Eric P. Snyder Senior Vice President and $446,000
Director of Corporate Leasing
Augustus N. Stephas Senior Vice President - Accounting $456,600
and Controller
In the case of Charles B. Lebovitz, John N. Foy and Stephen D. Lebovitz,
these base salaries were approved to take effect as of January 1, 2006. In the
case of Mr. Stephas, the effective date is February 28, 2006, and in the case of
Mr. Snyder, the effective date is September 15, 2006.
Each of Charles B. Lebovitz, John N. Foy and Stephen D. Lebovitz are
parties to deferred compensation agreements issued under the Amended and
Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), pursuant
to which the amounts representing annual increases over their base salaries
since 1995 are paid in quarterly installments in the form of the Company's
Common Stock rather than cash.
Revisions to 2005 Executive Bonus Opportunities
-----------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee also approved certain adjustments to the
criteria or matters pursuant to which designated Company executives are eligible
to earn bonuses during the 2005 fiscal year based upon the successful
continuation and/or completion of development, financing, leasing and
re-leasing, temporary leasing, sponsorships, management, accounting, marketing,
remodelings, expansions, peripheral property sales, acquisitions and joint
ventures with respect to the Company and its properties identified by the
Compensation Committee as being within each such executive's areas of
responsibility. These adjustments affected the maximum potential bonuses that
could be earned by two of the three executives covered by these bonus criteria
who are named executive officers of the Company as follows: the maximum
potential bonus payments that could be earned by John N. Foy and Stephen D.
Lebovitz for specified projects completed during 2005 was increased from
$575,000 to $675,000 for each of such named executive officers. The actual
amount of any bonus payouts will be dependent on the successful continuation or
completion of the projects or matters upon which each such officer's bonus is
based, as well as the officer's continued employment with the Company at such
time.
In addition to the adjustments to the potential bonus levels approved as
described above for certain officers, the Compensation Committee also approved
an increase from $1,000,000 to $1,075,000 in the amount of a separate allocation
of funds to be available as bonus compensation for payment to three designated
59
senior executives, in conjunction with the Compensation Committee's decision
concerning the actual bonuses to be paid to such officers based upon the
Committee's evaluation of their performance during 2005. Two of the officers who
participated in such bonus pool for fiscal 2005 are named executive officers,
and the Compensation Committee approved the following 2005 bonus amounts for
such officers: Charles B. Lebovitz - $675,000 and Augustus N. Stephas -
$225,000.
In the case of both of the bonus mechanisms described above for 2005, each
officer who receives a bonus has the option of electing whether to have his or
her bonus paid in cash or in shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to
the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The number of shares issued with respect
to any bonus that an officer elects to receive in the Company's Common Stock
will be determined based on the market value of the Common Stock on the date
when such bonus becomes payable.
Approval of 2006 Executive Bonus Opportunities
----------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee also approved the criteria or matters pursuant
to which designated Company executives will be eligible to earn bonuses for the
2006 fiscal year. The amount of the bonus paid to each executive will be based
upon the successful continuation and/or completion of development, financing,
leasing and re-leasing, temporary leasing, sponsorships, management, accounting,
marketing, remodelings, expansions, peripheral property sales, acquisitions and
joint ventures with respect to the Company and its properties identified by the
Compensation Committee as being within each such executive's areas of
responsibility. Three of the executives covered by these bonus criteria are
named executive officers of the Company. The potential bonuses that the
Compensation Committee provided that such named executive officers could earn
pursuant to the above-stated criteria or matters are as follows: John N. Foy -
$725,000; Stephen D. Lebovitz - $725,000; and Eric P. Snyder - $325,000. The
actual amount of any bonus payouts will be dependent on the successful
continuation or completion of the projects or matters upon which each such
officer's bonus is based, as well as the officer's continued employment with the
Company at such time.
In addition to the potential bonus levels approved as described above for
certain officers, the Compensation Committee also approved a separate allocation
of up to an aggregate of $1,325,000 to be available as bonus compensation for
payment to three designated senior executives, consisting of specified maximum
bonuses that could be earned by each of the three executives totaling $1,175,000
plus the opportunity to share in an unallocated discretionary bonus pool of up
to $150,000. The actual bonus payments to such officers, including the amount
(if any) to be paid out of the $150,000 unallocated pool, will be determined
during the fourth quarter of 2006 by the Compensation Committee, based upon its
evaluation of such officers' performance during the year. Two of the officers
for whom any fiscal 2006 bonuses will be determined pursuant to this method are
named executive officers, and the potential bonus payouts set by the
Compensation Committee for each of these officers is as follows: Charles B.
Lebovitz - $725,000 plus any additional participation in the unallocated
$150,000 pool, and Augustus N. Stephas - $250,000 plus any additional
participation in the unallocated $150,000 pool.
As with the 2005 bonuses, in the case of both of the bonus mechanisms
described above for 2006, each officer who receives a bonus will have the option
of electing whether to have his or her bonus paid in cash or in shares of the
Company's Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The
number of shares issued with respect to any bonus that an officer elects to
receive in the Company's Common Stock will be determined based on the market
value of the Common Stock on the date when such bonus becomes payable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CBL & Associates
Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in
the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement
schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of CBL and Associates Properties, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the
criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report
dated March 10, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment
of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting
and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. ("CBL"), a Delaware corporation, is a
self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust
("REIT") that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing,
management and operation of regional shopping malls and community shopping
centers. CBL's shopping center properties are located in 27 states, but are
primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.
CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates
Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). As of December 31, 2005, the
Operating Partnership owned controlling interests in 72 regional malls, 27
associated centers (each located adjacent to a regional mall), seven community
centers and CBL's corporate office building. The Operating Partnership
consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a
controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity. The Operating Partnership owned non-controlling
interests in seven regional malls and three associated centers. Because major
decisions such as the acquisition, sale or refinancing of principal partnership
or joint venture assets must be approved by one or more of the other partners,
the Operating Partnership does not control these partnerships and joint ventures
and, accordingly, accounts for these investments using the equity method. The
Operating Partnership had two mall expansions, two open-air shopping centers,
one open-air shopping center expansion, two associated centers, one community
center, which is owned in a joint venture, and one community center expansion
under construction at December 31, 2005. The Operating Partnership also holds
options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.
CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I,
Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At December 31, 2005, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the
sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.6% general
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc.
owned a 52.6% limited partnership interest for a combined interest held by CBL
of 54.2%.
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership is held primarily by CBL
& Associates, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively "CBL's Predecessor") and by
affiliates of The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc. ("Jacobs"). CBL's Predecessor
contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures
to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partnership interest when
the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993. Jacobs contributed their
interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for a limited partnership interest when the Operating
Partnership acquired the majority of Jacobs' interests in 23 properties in
January 2001 and the balance of such interests in February 2002. At December 31,
2005, CBL's Predecessor owned a 15.2% limited partnership interest, Jacobs owned
a 20.6% limited partnership interest and third parties owned a 10.0% limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor also owned
5.6 million shares of CBL's common stock at December 31, 2005, for a combined
total interest of 20.1% in the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership conducts CBL's property management and
development activities through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the
"Management Company") to comply with certain requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Operating Partnership owns
100% of both of the Management Company's preferred stock and its common stock.
CBL, the Operating Partnership and the Management Company are collectively
referred to herein as "the Company." All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated presentation.
At the Company's annual meeting of shareholders on May 9, 2005, the
Company's shareholders approved an increase in the authorized shares of the
common stock under the Company's amended and restated certificate of
70
incorporation to 180,000,000 shares from 95,000,000 shares. On May 10, 2005, the
Company's board of directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's
common stock, which was effected in the form of a stock dividend. The record
date for the stock split was June 1, 2005, and the distribution date was June
15, 2005. The Company retained the current par value of $0.01 per share for all
shares of common stock. All references to numbers of common shares and per share
data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
Shareholders' equity reflects the stock split through a reclassification of $313
from Additional Paid-In Capital to Common Stock, which represents the par value
of the additional shares resulting from the stock split.
The Operating Partnership has common units and special common units of
limited partner interest outstanding that may be exchanged by their holders,
under certain circumstances, for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.
These common units and special common units were also split on a two-for-one
basis so that they continue to be exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into
shares of the Company's common stock.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Real Estate Assets
------------------
The Company capitalizes predevelopment project costs paid to third parties.
All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no
longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a
project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including
interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general
and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based
on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the development project.
Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements
and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
lives.
All acquired real estate assets have been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in
the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of
acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price to (i) tangible assets,
consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant
improvements, and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, generally
consisting of above-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships,
which are included in other assets, and below-market leases, which are included
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company uses estimates of fair
value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other
valuation techniques to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and
intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the
real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt is recorded at its fair value based on
estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of
40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10
years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are amortized
over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and
below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to minimum rental revenue,
while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as
amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed
and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of
the debt using the effective interest method.
71
The Company's acquired intangibles and their balance sheet classifications
as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, are summarized as follows:
December 31, 2005 December 31, 2004
------------------------------- --------------------------------
Accumulated Accumulated
Cost Amortization Cost Amortization
-------------- -------------- ------------- --------------
Other assets:
Above-market leases $42,026 $(4,921) $12,250 $ (1,335)
In-place leases 72,584 (14,992) 53,850 (5,810)
Tenant relationships 49,796 (53) -- --
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
Below-market leases 91,148 (14,816) 38,967 (4,870)
The total net amortization expense of the above acquired intangibles for
the next five succeeding years will be $3,420 in 2006, $3,236 in 2007, $3,334 in
2008, $2,148 in 2009 and $1,021 in 2010.
Total interest expense capitalized was $8,385, $4,517 and $5,974 in 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively.
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets
-----------------------------------
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held
and used when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. The
carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when its estimated
future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. If it is
determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset's carrying
value over its estimated fair value is charged to operations.
The Company determined that two community centers met the criteria to be
reflected as held for sale as of December 31, 2005 and recognized a loss on
impairment of $1,029.
During 2004, the Company recognized a loss of $114 on the sale of one
community center as a loss on impairment of real estate assets.
During 2004, the Company determined that the carrying value of a vacant
community center exceeded the community center's estimated fair value by $402.
The Company recorded the reduction in the carrying value of the related real
estate assets to their estimated fair value as a loss on impairment of real
estate assets. The Company sold this community center in October 2005 and
recognized an additional impairment of $43.
In January 2005, the Company made the decision to sell five community
centers and, as a result, recognized an aggregate loss on impairment of real
estate assets of $617 on these community centers in 2004 to reduce the carrying
values of these centers to their estimated fair values based on their selling
prices.
In January 2005, the Company completed the third phase of the Galileo
America joint venture transaction discussed in Note 5. The Company recognized a
loss of $1,947 on this transaction as an impairment of real estate assets in
2004 and reduced the carrying value of the related assets, which were classified
as real estate assets held for sale as of December 31, 2004. The Company
recognized an additional impairment loss of $262 in the first quarter of 2005
related to these centers when certain estimated amounts were adjusted when the
actual amounts became known.
There were no impairment charges in 2003.
72
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
---------------
Restricted cash of $34,448 and $29,337 was included in other assets at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Restricted cash consists primarily of
cash held in escrow accounts for debt service, insurance, real estate taxes,
capital improvements and deferred maintenance as required by the terms of
certain mortgage notes payable, as well as contributions from tenants to be used
for future marketing activities.
Joint Ventures
--------------
Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a
capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to the
Company's historical carryover basis in the real estate contributed. Initial
investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a
portion of the Company's interest in the real estate are accounted for as a
contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to the Company's
historical carryover basis in the ownership percentage retained and as a sale of
real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venturers'
interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes the Company has no
commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold
and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method under SFAS No. 66 are
met.
The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures where it owns a
non-controlling interest using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity
method, the Company's cost of investment is adjusted for its share of equity in
the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate and reduced by distributions
received. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital
events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on
unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the
terms of the joint venture agreements.
Any differences between the cost of the Company's investment in an
unconsolidated affiliate and its underlying equity as reflected in the
unconsolidated affiliate's financial statements generally result from costs of
the Company's investment that are not reflected on the unconsolidated
affiliate's financial statements, capitalized interest on its investment and the
Company's share of development and leasing fees that are paid by the
unconsolidated affiliate to the Company for development and leasing services
provided to the unconsolidated affiliate during any development periods. At
December 31, 2005 and 2004, the difference between the Company's investment in
unconsolidated affiliates and the underlying equity of unconsolidated affiliates
was $4,323 and $18,730, respectively, which is generally amortized over a period
of 40 years.
Deferred Financing Costs
------------------------
Net deferred financing costs of $10,849 and $13,509 were included in other
assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Deferred financing costs
include fees and costs incurred to obtain financing and are amortized to
interest expense over the terms of the related notes payable. Amortization
expense was $5,031, $4,390, and $3,268 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Accumulated amortization was $11,532 and $7,815 as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain
tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed
thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as
revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.
The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes,
insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as
provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as
revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant
reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants
over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue when billed.
The Company receives management, leasing and development fees from third
parties and unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a
percentage of revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are
recognized as revenue when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on
a pro rata basis over the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly
executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned.
Development and leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates during the
development period are recognized as revenue only to the extent of the
third-party partners' ownership interest. Development and leasing fees during
the development period to the extent of the Company's ownership interest are
recorded as a reduction to the Company's investment in the unconsolidated
affiliate.
Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets
-----------------------------------
Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined
that the sale has been consummated, the buyer's initial and continuing
investment is adequate, the Company's receivable, if any, is not subject to
future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset. When the Company has an ownership interest in the buyer,
gain is recognized to the extent of the third party partner's ownership interest
and the portion of the gain attributable to the Company's ownership interest is
deferred.
Income Taxes
------------
The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. To
maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least
90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.
As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income
taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the
Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income
at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification
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
income. State income taxes were not material in 2005, 2004 and 2003.
The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its
subsidiaries. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services
that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the
financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the
enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences
reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the
Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be
realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from
the change in circumstances that causes a change in our judgment about the
realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income. The
Company had a net deferred tax asset of $1,541 and $16,636 at December 31, 2005
and 2004, respectively, which consisted primarily of net operating loss
74
carryforwards, that were reduced to zero by a valuation allowance because of
uncertainty about the realization of the net deferred tax asset considering all
available evidence.
Derivative Financial Instruments
--------------------------------
The Company records derivative financial instruments as either an asset or
liability measured at the instrument's fair value. Any fair value adjustments
affect either shareholders' equity or net income depending on whether the
derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so,
the nature of the hedging activity. See Note 15 for more information.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
The Company's tenants include national, regional and local retailers.
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk
consist primarily of tenant receivables. The Company generally does not obtain
collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit
risk, but monitors the credit standing of tenants.
The Company derives a substantial portion of its rental income from various
national and regional retail companies; however, no single tenant collectively
accounted for more than 10.0% of the Company's total revenues in 2005, 2004 and
2003.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of unrestricted
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of
common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited
partners' rights to convert their minority interest in the Operating Partnership
into shares of common stock are not dilutive (Note 9). The following summarizes
the impact of potential dilutive common shares on the denominator used to
compute earnings per share:

Denominator - diluted earnings per share 64,880 64,004 62,386
================ ================= ===============
Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
Historically, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans,
which are described in Note 19, under the recognition and measurement principles
of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB No. 25") and related interpretations. Effective January 1,
2003, the Company elected to begin recording the expense associated with stock
options granted after January 1, 2003, on a prospective basis in accordance with
the fair value and transition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123." There were no stock options granted during 2005, 2004 and
2003.
No stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted prior
to January 1, 2003, has been reflected in net income since all options granted
had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on
the date of grant. Therefore, stock-based compensation expense included in net
75
income available to common shareholders in 2005, 2004 and 2003 is less than that
which would have been recognized if the fair value method had been applied to
all stock-based awards since the effective date of SFAS No. 123. The following
table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company
had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all
outstanding and unvested awards in each period:

Comprehensive Income
--------------------
Comprehensive income includes all changes in shareholders' equity during
the period, except those resulting from investments by shareholders and
distributions to shareholders.
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of
APB No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." SFAS No. 153 requires
exchanges of productive assets to be accounted for at fair value, rather than at
carryover basis, unless (1) neither the asset received nor the asset surrendered
has a fair value that is determinable within reasonable limits or (2) the
transactions lack commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 became effective for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods that began after June
15, 2005. See Note 5.
In December 2004, the FASB released its final revised standard, SFAS No.
123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123(R) requires that a
public entity measure the cost of equity-based service awards based on the
grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period
during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
award or the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity
instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. In April
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Staff Accounting Bulletin
to modify the effective date so that SFAS No. 123(R) can be adopted beginning
with the first interim reporting period of the next fiscal year beginning after
June 15, 2005, instead of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2005. The Company previously adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123
as amended by SFAS No. 148 effective January 1, 2003. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, using a modified prospective application.
The Company estimates that this will result in the recognition of additional
76
compensation expense of approximately $310 and $91 during the years ending
December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, which represents the unamortized
deferred compensation expense associated with all remaining stock options that
were not vested as of December 31, 2005.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 entitled, "Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections," which will be effective in the first quarter of fiscal year
2006. This statement addresses the retrospective application of such changes and
corrections and the Company will follow the provision of this standard in the
event of any future accounting changes.
In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No.
04-05, "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a
Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited
Partners Have Certain Rights." EITF Issue No. 04-05 provides a framework for
determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a
limited partnership or a similar entity. EITF Issue No. 04-05 is effective after
June 29, 2005, for all newly formed limited partnerships and for any
pre-existing limited partnerships that modify their partnership agreements after
that date. General partners of all other limited partnerships are required to
apply the consensus no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that
the adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-05 will have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 78-9-1,
"Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-05." The
EITF acknowledged that the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-05 conflicts with
certain aspects of Statement of Position ("SOP") 78-9, "Accounting for
Investments in Real Estate Ventures." The EITF agreed that the assessment of
whether a general partner, or the general partners as a group, controls a
limited partnership should be consistent for all limited partnerships,
irrespective of the industry within which the limited partnership operates.
Accordingly, the guidance in SOP 78-9 was amended in FSP 78-9-1 to be consistent
with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 04-05. The effective dates for this FSP are
the same as those for EITF Issue No. 04-05 described above. The Company does not
expect that the adoption of FSP 78-9-1 will have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"),
"Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations," which clarifies the
accounting for conditional asset retirement obligations as used in SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." A conditional asset retirement
obligation is an unconditional legal obligation to perform an asset retirement
activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a
future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Therefore,
an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a
conditional asset retirement obligation under SFAS No. 143 if the fair value of
the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 permits, but does not require,
restatement of interim financial information. The provisions of FIN 47 are
effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2005. In accordance
with the transition provisions of FIN 47, the Company recorded an asset of
$1,906 and a liability of $2,358 related to conditional asset retirement
obligations as of December 31, 2005. The difference between the amounts of the
asset and liability of $452 was recognized as maintenance and repairs expense in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2005. Had the Company applied the provisions of FIN 47
retroactively, the liability for conditional asset retirement obligations would
have been $2,254, $2,153 and $2,057 at December 31, 2004, 2003 and January 1,
2003, respectively.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated statements of operations
have been reclassified to present marketing fund revenues and expenses on a
gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19,
"Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent." As a result,
the following amounts in the consolidated statements of operations have changed
from the previously reported amounts for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003: tenant reimbursements have increased by $27,281 and $25,884, respectively,
77
other revenues have decreased by $3,093 and $0, respectively, and property
operating expenses have increased by $24,188 and $25,884, respectively. This
reclassification did not change previously reported amounts of net income
available to common shareholders.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
The Company includes the results of operations of real estate assets
acquired in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of the
related acquisition.
2005 Acquisitions
-----------------
Effective June 1, 2005, the Company acquired a 70% joint venture interest
in Laurel Park Place, a regional mall in Livonia, MI, for a purchase price of
$80,363. The purchase price consisted of $2,828 in cash, the assumption of
$50,654 of non-recourse debt that bears interest at a stated rate of 8.50% and
matures in December 2012 and the issuance of 571,700 Series L special common
units (the "L-SCUs") in the Operating Partnership with a fair value of $26,881.
The Company recorded a debt premium of $10,552, computed using an estimated
market interest rate of 5.00%, since the debt assumed was at an above-market
interest rate compared to similar debt instruments at the date of acquisition.
The terms of the L-SCUs are described in Note 9.
The Company may elect to acquire the remaining 30% ownership interest in
the joint venture, or a portion thereof, at any time following the acquisition
date for a purchase price of $14,000, which will be paid either through the
issuance of common units of limited partner interest in the Operating
Partnership or with cash, at the Company's election. If the Company exercises
its right to acquire the remaining 30% joint venture interest, or a portion
thereof, prior to December 2012 through the issuance of common units, the common
units issued will not be entitled to receive distributions until after December
2012. If the Company does not exercise its right to acquire the remaining 30%
joint venture interest by December 2012, then the joint venture partner owning
that interest will thereafter receive a preferred return equal to the greater of
12% or the 10-year treasury rate plus 800 basis points on the portion of its
joint venture interest that has not yet been acquired by the Company. The
Company receives all of the profits and losses of this joint venture and is
responsible for all of its debt. The $14,000 value of the minority partner's
interest has been recorded in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.
On July 14, 2005, the Company acquired The Mall of Acadiana, a
super-regional mall in Lafayette, LA, for a cash purchase price, including
transaction costs, of $175,204. The Company also entered into 10-year lease
agreements for 13.4 acres of land adjacent to The Mall of Acadiana, which
provide the Company the right to purchase the land for a cash purchase price of
$3,327 during the first year of the lease term, $3,510 during the second year
and amounts increasing by 10% per year for each year of the lease term
thereafter. After the first year, the seller may put the land to the Company for
a price equal to the amounts set forth in the previous sentence. The Company
also obtained a ten-year option to acquire another adjacent 14.9 acre tract of
land for a cash purchase price of $3,245 during the first six months of the
option, which increases to $3,407 during the second six months of the option and
to $3,570 during the remaining nine years of the option.
On November 7, 2005, the Company acquired Layton Hills Mall in Salt Lake
City, UT, for a cash purchase price, including transaction costs, of $120,926.
The Company funded a portion of the purchase price with a new, short-term loan
of $102,850 that bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
plus 95 basis points and has a maturity of March 2006 plus a 60-day extension
option. The Company intends to retire or refinance this short-term loan.
On November 16, 2005, the Company acquired Oak Park Mall in Overland, KS,
Hickory Point Mall in Forsyth, IL, and Eastland Mall in Bloomington, IL, for a
purchase price, including transaction costs, of $508,180, which consisted of
$127,111 in cash, the assumption of $335,100 of interest-only, non-recourse
loans that bear interest at a stated rate of 5.85% and mature in November 2015
and the issuance of 1,144,924 Series K special common units (the "K-SCUs") of
78
limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership with a fair value of
$45,969. The Company funded part of the cash portion of the purchase price with
a new, non-recourse loan of $33,150 that bears interest at 5.85% and matures in
November 2015. The terms of the K-SCUs are described in Note 9.

All debt on these properties is non-recourse. See Note 17 for a description
of guarantees the Company has issued related to certain unconsolidated
affiliates.
In September 2004, Mall of South Carolina L.P. obtained a long-term,
non-recourse, fixed-rate mortgage loan totaling $118,000. The loan is comprised
of a $100,000 A-note to a financial institution that bears interest at 5.09%,
which matures in September 2014, and two 10-year B-notes of $9,000 each that
bear interest at 7.75% and mature in September 2014. The Company and its third
party partner in Mall of South Carolina L.P. each hold one of the B-notes. The
total net proceeds from these loans were used to retire $80,493 of outstanding
borrowings under the construction loan that partially financed the development
of Coastal Grand-Myrtle Beach.
In September 2005, Imperial Valley Mall L.P. obtained a ten-year,
non-recourse mortgage note payable of $60,000 that has a fixed interest rate of
4.985% and matures in September 2015. The proceeds of the loan were used to
retire the outstanding borrowings of $58,265 under the construction loan that
was incurred to develop Imperial Valley Mall.
On November 16, 2005, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture with Jacobs
to own Triangle Town Center and its associated and lifestyle centers, Triangle
Town Place and Triangle Town Commons, in Raleigh, NC. The Company assumed
management, leasing and any future development responsibilities of the
properties.
84
Jacobs' initial contribution consisted of the three shopping centers and
the Company made an initial cash contribution of $1,560. Concurrent with its
formation, the joint venture entered into a new ten-year, fixed rate
non-recourse loan of $200,000, secured by the collective centers. The proceeds
from the loan were used to retire an existing construction loan totaling
$121,828 and the balance was paid to Jacobs as a partial return of Jacobs'
equity. The joint venture equity will be equalized between Jacobs and the
Company through future contributions by the Company and through property cash
flow distributions.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company is required to
fund any additional equity necessary for capital expenditures, including future
development or expansion of the property, and any operating deficits of the
joint venture. The Company has guaranteed funding of such items up to a maximum
of $50,000. The joint venture's profits are allocated 50/50 to Jacobs and the
Company. The Company receives a preferred return on its invested capital in the
joint venture and will, after payment of such preferred return and repayment of
the Company's invested capital, and repayment of the balance of Jacobs' equity,
share equally with Jacobs in the joint venture's cash flows.
Galileo America Joint Venture
-----------------------------
On September 24, 2003, the Company formed Galileo America LLC ("Galileo
America"), a joint venture with Galileo America, Inc., the U.S. affiliate of
Australia-based Galileo America Shopping Trust, to invest in community centers
throughout the United States. The arrangement provided for the Company to sell,
in three phases, its interests in 51 community centers for a total price of
$516,000 plus a 10% interest in Galileo America.
The first phase of the transaction closed on October 23, 2003, when the
Company sold its interests in 41 community centers to Galileo America for
$393,925, which consisted of $250,705 in cash, the retirement of $24,922 of debt
on one of the community centers, a note receivable of $4,813, Galileo America's
assumption of $93,037 in debt and $20,448 representing the Company's 10%
interest in Galileo America. The Company used the net proceeds to fund escrow
amounts used in like-kind exchange acquisitions and to reduce outstanding
borrowings under the Company's credit facilities. The Company recognized a gain
of $71,886 from the first phase and recorded its investment in Galileo America
at the carryover basis of the real estate assets contributed for its 10%
interest. The note receivable was paid subsequent to December 31, 2003.
The second phase of the Galileo America transaction closed on January 5,
2004, when the Company sold its interest in six community centers for $92,375,
which consisted of $62,687 in cash, the retirement of $25,953 of debt on one of
the community centers, the joint venture's assumption of $2,816 of debt and
closing costs of $919. The real estate assets and related mortgage notes payable
of the properties in the second phase were reflected as held for sale from
October 23, 2003, the date that it was determined these assets met the criteria
to be reflected as held for sale. There was no depreciation expense recorded on
these assets subsequent to October 23, 2003.
The Company sold a community center expansion to Galileo America during
September 2004 for $3,447 in cash. The Company recognized gain of $1,316 to the
extent of the third party partner's ownership interest and recorded an
investment of $147 in Galileo America at the carryover basis of the real estate
assets contributed for its 10% interest.
In October 2004, the Company sold its interests in one community center to
Galileo America for a purchase price of $17,900, which consisted of $2,900 in
cash, Galileo America's assumption of $10,500 of debt and a limited partnership
interest in Galileo America, Inc. The community center was originally scheduled
to be included in the third phase of the transaction that closed in January
2005. The Company recognized a gain of $2,840 on the sale of this property and
recorded an investment of $3,820 in Galileo America at the carryover basis of
the real estate assets contributed for its 10% interest in this property.
85
The third phase of the joint venture closed on January 5, 2005, when the
Company sold its interests in two power centers, one community center and one
community center expansion to Galileo America for $58,600, which consisted of
$42,529 in cash, the joint venture's assumption of $12,141 of debt, $3,596
representing the Company's interest in Galileo America and closing costs of
$334. The real estate assets and related mortgage notes payable of the
properties in the third phase were reflected as held for sale as of January 1,
2004, the date that it was determined these assets met the criteria to be
reflected as held for sale. The Company did not record any depreciation expense
on these assets during 2004. The Company recognized a loss on impairment of real
estate assets of $1,947 in December 2004 and an additional loss on impairment of
real estate assets of $262 during the year ended December 31, 2005 related to
the properties included in the third phase.
The Company, as tenant, entered into separate master lease agreements with
Galileo America, as landlord, covering certain spaces in certain of the
properties sold to the joint venture. Under each master lease agreement, the
Company was obligated to pay Galileo America an agreed-upon minimum annual rent,
plus a pro rata share of common area maintenance expenses and real estate taxes,
for each designated space for a term of five years from the applicable
property's closing date. Two properties in the first phase and one in the second
phase were subject to master lease agreements. The Company had a liability of
$3,789 at December 31, 2004 for the amounts to be paid over the remaining terms
of the master lease obligations. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company
recognized gain of $2,505, $7,206 and $0, respectively, as a result of being
relieved of its obligation under the master lease arrangements as spaces were
leased to third parties.
The Company also received $8,000 of additional contingent consideration
since, as the exclusive manager of the properties, it achieved certain leasing
objectives related to spaces that were vacant, or projected to soon be vacant,
at the time the first phase closed. The Company earned $4,167 in 2004 for
leasing objectives that were met during 2004, of which $3,750 was recognized as
gain on sales of real estate assets and $417, representing the portion
attributable to the Company's ownership interest, was recorded as a reduction of
the Company's investment in Galileo America. In 2003, the Company earned $3,833
for leasing objectives that were met as of December 31, 2003, of which $3,450
was recognized as gain on sales of real estate assets and $383, representing the
portion attributable to the Company's 10% ownership interest, was recorded as a
reduction of the Company's investment in Galileo America.
On August 10, 2005, the Company transferred all of its 8.4% ownership
interest in Galileo America to Galileo America in exchange for Galileo America's
interest in two community centers: Springdale Center in Mobile, AL, and
Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace in Wilkes-Barre Township, PA. The two
properties had a fair value of $60,000. The Company recognized a gain of
$42,022, in accordance with SFAS No. 153, on the redemption of its interest in
Galileo America, which represents the excess of the fair value of the two
properties over the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Galileo
America of $17,978. The Company has the right to put the two properties to
Galileo America for $60,000 in cash at any time for one year following the
redemption, as well as additional property at Springdale Center that the Company
currently holds in a ground lease for $3,000 in cash. The Company also entered
into an agreement to provide advisory services to Galileo America for a period
of three years in exchange for $1,000 per year. The Company recorded a loss on
impairment during 2005 related to these properties, which is discussed in Note
4.
The Company sold its management and advisory contracts with Galileo America
to New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("New Plan") for $22,000 in cash and, after
reductions for closing costs, recognized a gain of $21,619 during 2005. The
Company also transferred its remaining obligations of $3,818 under the master
lease agreement to New Plan by paying New Plan a cash payment of $1,925. The
Company recognized a gain of $1,893 during 2005 as a result of the settlement of
the remaining master lease liability.
New Plan retained the Company to manage nine properties that Galileo
America had recently acquired from a third party for a term of 17 years
beginning on the third anniversary of the closing and will pay the Company a
management fee of $1,000 per year. At any time after November 22, 2007, New Plan
86
may terminate the agreement by paying the Company a termination fee of $7,000.
The Company will recognize management fee income beginning on the third
anniversary of the closing as it provides services under the management
contract. If and when New Plan should terminate the management agreement with
the Company, the Company will recognize the $7,000 termination fee as gain.
Separately, Galileo America entered into an agreement to acquire New Plan's
interest in a portfolio of properties. Under the terms of its agreement with
Galileo America, the Company received an acquisition fee of $8,000 related to
that transaction, which was recognized as management fee revenues during 2005.
As a result of the disposition of its ownership interest in Galileo America
and the sale of the related management and advisory contracts, the Company
recorded additional compensation expense of $1,301 in 2005 related to the
severance of affected personnel, including $736 related to the accelerated
vesting of stock-based compensation awards for certain affected personnel.
Consolidated Joint Ventures
---------------------------
In April 2005, the Company formed a joint venture with Jacobs to develop
Gulf Coast Town Center in Lee County (Ft. Myers/Naples), Florida. Under the
terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company initially contributed $40,335
for a 50% interest in the joint venture, the proceeds of which were used to
refund the aggregate acquisition and development costs incurred with respect to
the project that were previously paid by Jacobs. The Company must also provide
any additional equity necessary to fund the development of the property, as well
as to fund up to an aggregate of $30,000 of operating deficits of the joint
venture. The Company receives a preferred return of 11% on its invested capital
in the joint venture and will, after payment of such preferred return and
repayment of the Company's invested capital, share equally with Jacobs in the
joint venture's profits.
The joint venture arrangement provides the Company with the right to put
its 50% ownership interest to Jacobs if certain approvals of tenants and
government entities that are required for the continued development of the
project are not obtained by the second anniversary of the joint venture
agreement. The put right provides that Jacobs will acquire the Company's 50%
ownership interest for an amount equal to the total unreturned equity funded by
the Company plus any accrued and unpaid preferred return on that equity.
The Company determined that the joint venture is a variable interest entity
in which it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." At December 31, 2005,
this joint venture had total assets of $73,885 and a recourse term loan of
$42,020.

NOTE 9. MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests represent (i) the aggregate partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company and (ii) the aggregate
ownership interest in 18 of the Company's shopping center properties that is
held by third parties.
Minority Interest in Operating Partnership
------------------------------------------
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership is represented by common
units and special common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership Units") that the Company does not own.
The assets and liabilities allocated to the Operating Partnership's
minority interests are based on their ownership percentage of the Operating
Partnership at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The ownership percentage is
determined by dividing the number of Operating Partnership Units held by the
minority interests at December 31, 2005 and 2004 by the total Operating
Partnership Units outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
minority interest ownership percentage in assets and liabilities of the
Operating Partnership was 45.8% and 45.0% at December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Income is allocated to the Operating Partnership's minority interests based
on their weighted average ownership during the year. The ownership percentage is
determined by dividing the weighted average number of Operating Partnership
Units held by the minority interests by the total weighted average number of
Operating Partnership Units outstanding during the year.
A change in the number of shares of common stock or Operating Partnership
Units changes the percentage ownership of all partners of the Operating
Partnership. An Operating Partnership Unit is considered to be equivalent to a
share of common stock since it generally is redeemable for cash or shares of the
Company's common stock. As a result, an allocation is made between shareholders'
equity and minority interest in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying
balance sheet to reflect the change in ownership of the Operating Partnership's
underlying equity when there is a change in the number of shares and/or
Operating Partnership Units outstanding. During 2005 and 2004, the Company
allocated $37,157 and $12,661, respectively, from minority interest to
shareholders' equity. In 2003, the Company allocated $11,759 from shareholders'
equity to minority interest.
The total minority interest in the Operating Partnership was $596,803 and
$554,629 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Minority Interest in Operating Partnership-Conversion Rights
------------------------------------------------------------
Under the terms of the Operating Partnership's limited partnership
agreement, each of the limited partners has the right to exchange all or a
portion of its partnership interests for shares of CBL's common stock or, at
CBL's election, their cash equivalent. When an exchange occurs, CBL assumes the
limited partner's ownership interests in the Operating Partnership. The number
of shares of common stock received by a limited partner of the Operating
Partnership upon exercise of its exchange rights will be equal, on a one-for-one
basis, to the number of Operating Partnership Units exchanged by the limited
91
partner. The amount of cash received by the limited partner, if CBL elects to
pay cash, will be based on the five-day trailing average of the trading price at
the time of exercise of the shares of common stock that would otherwise have
been received by the limited partner in the exchange. Neither the limited
partnership interests in the Operating Partnership nor the shares of common
stock of CBL are subject to any right of mandatory redemption.
As of January 31, 2004, holders of 26,318,804 Series J special common units
("J-SCUs") may exchange them for shares of common stock or cash. The J-SCUs
received a minimum distribution of $1.45125 per unit per year until the
distribution on the common units exceeded $1.45125 per unit per year during
2004. The J-SCUs now receive a distribution equal to that paid on the common
units.
In July 2004, the Company issued 1,560,940 S-SCUs in connection with the
acquisition of Monroeville Mall, which is discussed in Note 3. The S-SCUs
receive a minimum distribution of $2.53825 per unit per year for the first three
years, and a minimum distribution of $2.92875 per unit per year thereafter.
In June 2005, the Company issued 571,700 L-SCUs in connection with the
acquisition of Laurel Park Place, which is discussed in Note 3. The L-SCUs
receive a minimum distribution of $0.7575 per unit per quarter ($3.03 per unit
per year). Upon the earlier to occur of June 1, 2020, or when the distribution
on the common units exceeds $0.7575 per unit for four consecutive calendar
quarters, the L-SCUs will thereafter receive a distribution equal to the amount
paid on the common units.
In November 2005, the Company issued 1,144,924 K-SCUs in connection with
the acquisition of Oak Park Mall, Eastland Mall and Hickory Point Mall, which is
discussed in Note 3. The K-SCUs receive a dividend at a rate of 6.0%, or $2.85
per K-SCU, for the first year following the close of the transaction and 6.25%,
or $2.96875 per K-SCU, thereafter. When the quarterly distribution on the
Operating Partnership's common units exceeds the quarterly K-SCU distribution
for four consecutive quarters, the K-SCUs will receive distributions at the rate
equal to that paid on the Operating Partnership's common units. At any time
following the first anniversary of the closing date, the holders of the K-SCUs
may exchange them, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of the Company's common
stock or, at the Company's election, their cash equivalent.
The Company issued 237,390 common units in connection with the acquisition
of Panama City Mall in 2002. These common units receive a minimum annual
dividend of $1.6875 per unit until May 2012. When the distribution on the common
units exceeds $1.6875 per unit, these common units will receive a distribution
equal to that paid on the common units. Additionally, if the annual distribution
on the common units should ever be less than $1.11 per unit, the $1.6875 per
unit dividend will be reduced by the amount the per unit distribution is less
than $1.11 per unit. The annual distribution on the common units exceeded
$1.6875 per unit during 2005.
During 2005, holders elected to exchange 48,618 special common units and
3,518 common units and the Company elected to exchange $2,172 of cash for these
units. During 2004, holders elected to exchange 62,392 special common units and
683,250 common units and the Company elected to exchange $5,949 of cash and
525,636 shares of common stock for these units. The Company purchased 920,166
common units from a former executive of the Company who retired in 1997 for
$21,013 during 2003.
Outstanding rights to convert minority interests in the Operating
Partnership to common stock were held by the following parties at December 31,

NOTE 15. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to
changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments for speculative purposes. The Company's interest rate risk
management policy requires that derivative instruments be used for hedging
purposes only and that they be entered into only with major financial
institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors.
The Company's objective in using derivatives is to manage its exposure to
changes in interest rates. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily
uses interest rate swap and cap agreements as part of its cash flow hedging
strategy.
Interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges involve the
receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the
life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying principal amount.
The change in net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges in 2003 reflects a
reclassification of net unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive
loss to interest expense in the amount of $2,397 related to an interest rate
swap agreement that was in place during 2003.
There were no other derivative financial instruments outstanding during
2005, 2004 and 2003.
NOTE 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
CBL's Predecessor and certain officers of the Company have a significant
minority interest in the construction company that the Company engaged to build
substantially all of the Company's development properties. The Company paid
approximately $96,246, $81,153 and $163,617 to the construction company in 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively, for construction and development activities. The
Company had accounts payable to the construction company of $8,097 and $7,774 at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Management Company provides management, development and leasing
services to the Company's unconsolidated affiliates and other affiliated
partnerships. Revenues recognized for these services amounted to $14,290, $5,970
and $3,030 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
NOTE 17. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the
ordinary course of business. It is management's opinion that the pending
litigation will not materially affect the financial position or results of
operations of the Company. Additionally, management believes that, based on
environmental studies completed to date, any exposure to environmental cleanup
will not materially affect the financial position and results of operations of
the Company.
The Company has guaranteed 50% of the debt of Parkway Place L.P., an
unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 45% interest. The total
amount outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004, was $53,200 and $53,323,
respectively, of which the Company had guaranteed $26,600 and $26,662,
respectively. The guaranty will expire when the related debt matures in June
2008. The Company did not receive a fee for this guaranty.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement of Mall of South Carolina
L.P., an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, the
Company had guaranteed 100% of the construction debt incurred to develop Coastal
Grand - Myrtle Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Company received a fee of $1,572
for this guaranty when it was issued during 2003. The Company recognized
one-half of this fee as revenue pro rata over the term of the guaranty until its
expiration in May 2006, which represents the portion of the fee attributable to
the third-party partner's ownership interest. As discussed in Note 5, Mall of
South Carolina L.P. refinanced the construction loan with new mortgage loans in
96
September 2004. As a result, the Company was release from the guaranty and
recognized one-half of the unamortized balance of the guaranty fee, or $328, as
revenue when the construction loan was retired. The remaining $328 attributable
to the Company's ownership interest was recorded as a reduction to the Company's
investment in the partnership. The Company recognized total revenue of $568 and
$218 related to this guaranty during 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company had guaranteed 100% of the debt of Imperial Valley Mall L.P.,
an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 60% interest, as of
December 31, 2004. As discussed in Note 5, Imperial Valley Mall L.P. refinanced
the construction loan with a new mortgage loan in September 2005 and the Company
was released from its guaranty.
The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the
event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was
$24,100 and $11,789 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
NOTE 18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values
because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Based on the
interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage
notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of
mortgage and other notes payable was $4,336,474 and $3,667,151 at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The fair value was calculated by discounting future
cash flows for the notes payable using estimated rates at which similar loans
would be made currently.
NOTE 19. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company maintains the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Amended and
Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which permits the Company to issue
stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and directors of
the Company. The shares available under the plan were increased from 8,000,000
to 10,400,000 during 2002. The compensation committee of the board of directors
(the "Committee") administers the plan.
Stock Options
-------------
Stock options issued under the plan allow for the purchase of common stock
at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Stock options
granted to officers and employees vest and become exercisable in installments on
each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant and expire 10 years
after the date of grant. Stock options granted to independent directors are
fully vested upon grant. However, the independent directors may not sell, pledge
or otherwise transfer their stock options during their board term or for one
year thereafter.

Stock Awards
------------
Under the plan, common stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to,
or in tandem with other stock awards granted under the plan. The Committee has
the authority to determine eligible persons to whom common stock will be
awarded, the number of shares to be awarded and the duration of the vesting
period, as defined. The Committee may also provide for the issuance of common
stock under the plan on a deferred basis pursuant to deferred compensation
arrangements, as described in Note 20.
The Company had issued awards of stock totaling 1,091,776 shares under the
plan as of December 31, 2005. Compensation expense related to these awards is
determined based on the market value of the Company's common stock on the grant
date and is amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis when the
award is related to future services. Awards related to past services are
expensed when granted, regardless of the vesting period, if any.
The Company granted awards for 208,200, 93,600 and 86,450 shares of the
Company's common stock to employees in May 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The terms of the awards allow for a recipient to vest and receive shares of
common stock in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of
the date of grant. Under the terms of the awards, the Company pays the recipient
additional compensation, in an amount equal to the dividends paid on the
Company's common stock, on the unvested portion of the award.
The Company recorded deferred compensation of $8,162, $2,206 and $1,870
when the awards were granted in May 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, based on
the market value of the Company's common stock on the grant dates, which was
$39.24, $23.57 and $21.53 per share, respectively. The deferred compensation is
amortized on a straight-line basis as compensation expense over the five-year
vesting period.
During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company issued an additional 37,299, 63,314
and 87,212 shares of common stock, respectively, to employees and nonemployee
directors with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $37.99, $30.56 and
$21.51, respectively.

NOTE 20. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
401(k) Plan
-----------
The Management Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is
qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code to cover employees
of the Management Company. All employees who have attained the age of 21 and
have completed at least 90 days of service are eligible to participate in the
plan. The plan provides for employer matching contributions on behalf of each
participant equal to 50% of the portion of such participant's contribution that
does not exceed 2.5% of such participant's compensation for the plan year.
Additionally, the Management Company has the discretion to make additional
profit-sharing-type contributions not related to participant elective
contributions. Total contributions by the Management Company were $727, $657 and
$518 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
----------------------------
The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible
employees to acquire shares of the Company's common stock in the open market
without incurring brokerage or transaction fees. Under the plan, eligible
employees make payroll deductions that are used to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock. The shares are purchased by the fifth business day of
the month following the month when the deductions were withheld. The shares are
purchased at the prevailing market price of the stock at the time of purchase.
Deferred Compensation Arrangements
----------------------------------
The Company has entered into agreements with certain of its officers that
allow the officers to defer receipt of selected salary increases and/or bonus
compensation for periods ranging from 5 to 10 years.
For certain officers, the deferred compensation arrangements provide that
when the salary increase or bonus compensation is earned and deferred, shares of
the Company's common stock issuable under the Amended and Restated Stock
Incentive Plan are deemed set aside for the amount deferred. The number of
shares deemed set aside is determined by dividing the amount of compensation
deferred by the fair value of the Company's common stock on the deferral date,
as defined in the arrangements. The shares set aside are deemed to receive
dividends equivalent to those paid on the Company's common stock, which are then
deemed to be reinvested in the Company's common stock in accordance with the
Company's dividend reinvestment plan. When an arrangement terminates, the
Company will issue shares of the Company's common stock to the officer
equivalent to the number of shares deemed to have accumulated under the
officer's arrangement.
In October 2005, the Company issued 174,403 shares of common stock to one
officer as a result of the termination of that officer's deferred compensation
agreement. The Company had accrued all compensation expense related to the
agreement as it was earned during the term of the agreement.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, there were 63,882 and 214,196
shares that were deemed set aside in accordance with these arrangements.
For other officers, the deferred compensation arrangements provide that
their bonus compensation is deferred in the form of a note payable to the
officer. Interest accumulates on these notes at 7.0%. When an arrangement
terminates, the note payable plus accrued interest is paid to the officer in
cash. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, the Company had notes
payable, including accrued interest, of $107 and $52 related to these
arrangements.
99

NOTE 22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, holders of 1,480,067 common units of
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and holders of 27,582
J-SCUs exercised their conversion rights, which are described in Note 9. The

community centers were $1,253, $290 and $0 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
All periods presented have been recast to reflect the operations of these
community centers as discontinued operations.
100
NOTE 23. QUARTERLY INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The following quarterly information differs from previously reported
results since the results of operations of long-lived assets disposed of
subsequent to each quarter end in 2004 have been reclassified to discontinued
operations for all periods presented. Additionally, certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified to present marketing fund revenues and expenses on a
gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19,
Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. This
reclassification did not change previously reported amounts of net income
available to common shareholders. As a result, total revenues increased from the
previously reported amounts for the first, second and third quarters of the year
ended December 31, 2005 by $3,973, $4,189 and $4,938, respectively. Total
revenues increased from the previously reported amounts for the first, second,
third and fourth quarters of the year ended December 31, 2004 by $5,129, $5,557,
$4,757 and $8,744, respectively. The increase in total revenues was offset by a
corresponding increase in property operation expenses; therefore, there were no
changes to previously reported amounts of any other line items presented below.
