NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SeptemberJune 30, 20092010

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT” or the “Company”) prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in PREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2008.2009. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

PREIT, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls and strip and power centers located in the eastern half of the United States, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company’s portfolio consisted of a total of 5554 properties in 13 states, including 38 shopping malls, 1413 strip and power centers and three development properties, under development. The development portionwith two of the Company’s portfolio contained threedevelopment properties in two states, with two classified as “mixed-use”“mixed use” (a combination of retail and other uses) and one of the development properties classified as “other.”

The Company holds its interest in its portfolio of properties through its operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (the(“PREIT Associates” or the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company held a 94.9%96.0% interest in the Operating Partnership, and consolidates it for reporting purposes. The presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that the assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity.

The Company evaluates operating results and allocates resources on a property-by-property basis, and does not distinguish or evaluate consolidated operations on a geographic basis. No individual property constitutes 10% or more of consolidated revenue or assets, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to the nature of the Company’s properties and the nature of the Company’s tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term financial performance. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of consolidated revenue, and none of the Company’s properties are located outside the United States.

Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, each of the limited partners has the right to redeem such partner’s units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) for cash or, at the election of the Company, the Company may acquire such OP Units for common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis. Inbasis, in some cases the right to tender OP Units for redemption beginsbeginning one year following the respective issue date of the OP Units and in other cases immediately. In the event of the redemption of all of the outstanding OP Units held by limited partners for cash, the total amount that would have been distributed as of June 30, 2010 would have been $28.5 million in cash or the equivalent value of shares of PREIT, which is calculated using the Company’s June 30, 2010 closing share price on the New York Stock Exchange of $12.22 multiplied by the number of outstanding OP Units held by limited partners.

The Company provides its management, leasing and real estate development services through two companies: PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that the Company consolidates for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that the Company does not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties

owned by partnerships in which the Company owns an interest and properties that are owned by third parties in which the Company does not have an interest. PREIT Services and PRI are consolidated. Because PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means that it is capable of offering a broad rangeable to offer an expanded menu of services to tenants without jeopardizing the Company’s continuedcontinuing qualification as a real estate investment trustREIT under federal tax law.

Fair Value

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As further describeda basis for considering market participant assumptions in note 2, the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein have been revised to reflect the effectfair value measurements, these accounting requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company’s adoptionreporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of new accounting guidance relating to convertible debt instrumentsthe hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that may be settled in cash upon conversion and to noncontrolling interests.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties in the ordinary course of business that could have adverse effects on its operating results and financial condition. The most significant external risks facing the Company today stem fromhas the current downturnability to access.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the overall economyasset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and challenging conditionsliabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the capitalasset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and credit markets.yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

Substantially allIn instances where the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the Company’s revenue is generated from leases with retail tenants. The reduction in consumer spending as a result of declining consumer confidence and increasing unemployment has negatively affected, and may continue to negatively affect,fair value hierarchy, the operations of many retail companies. Beginninglevel in the second halffair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of 2008the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and continuing into 2009,considers factors specific to the number of retail bankruptcies and store closings has increased. Retailers also have reduced the number of store openings planned for 2009 and 2010 due to these economic conditions. These conditions have caused and may continue to cause the Company’s occupancy rates, revenue and net income to decline.

asset or liability. The Company has historically used a substantial amountutilizes the fair value hierarchy in its accounting for derivatives (Level 2), financial instruments (Level 3) and in its impairment reviews of debt to finance its business,real estate assets (Level 3) and has relied primarily on new borrowings to fund its redevelopment and development projects. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $20.0 million during the remainder of 2009, and up to an additional $50.0 million, net of expected reimbursements in 2010 and 2011, to fund its current redevelopment and development projects, including $14.6 million as to which the Company is contractually committed.

As of September 30, 2009, $485.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, which matures March 20, 2010. In addition, the Company has pledged $3.0 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for letters of credit. The unused portion of the Credit Facility that was available to the Company on September 30, 2009 was $12.0 million. The Company has agreed upon a non-binding term sheet with the lead bank in the Credit Facility and the senior unsecured term loan (“Term Loan”) to refinance such debt. The term sheet is subject to review and approval by the members of the Credit Facility bank group, which might or might not be obtained, or which might only be obtained following changes to the term sheet. Even if a term sheet is accepted by all the members of the bank group, the Company might or might not be successful in negotiating satisfactory definitive documents. Management of the Company believes that it will be able to reach an agreement with the bank group with respect to a refinancing of the Credit Facility and Term Loan. This belief is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ, including: risks arising from a further downturn in economic and retail industry conditions, including unemployment, decreased consumer confidence and consumer spending, which particularly affect retail REITs like the Company; risks arising from disruptions in the capital and credit markets, which might affect the Company’s ability to obtain other debt or equity capital or the banks’ abilities to extend credit; the risk of a real or perceived decline in the value of the Company’s properties; risks arising from the Company’s substantial indebtedness, the level of its cash flows, its ability to comply with debt agreement covenants, and perceptions of its creditworthiness, which might affect the Company’s continuing attractiveness as a borrower and the banks’ willingness to further extend credit; and other risks, including individual bank group members declining to approve a term sheet or definitive documents, which could inhibit the execution of a comprehensive agreement.

The Company expects to satisfy its remaining 2009 capital requirements for redevelopment and development projects and debt maturities through existing cash balances, as well as through borrowings under its Credit Facility, extensions of the maturity dates of existing indebtedness, additional borrowings secured by certain select properties and operating cash flow. The Company expects to continue to use some or all of these methods to meet its capital requirements in early 2010, assuming the Company refinances its Credit Facility and Term Loan, and subject to any restrictions that it may agree to in connection with any such refinancing. Given the continued weakness of the credit markets and the Company’s current financial position and results of operations, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance its Credit Facility, Term Loan or other existing debt. Even if the Company is able to refinance its Credit Facility and Term Loan, it may not be able to obtain the additional capital necessary to satisfy its obligations or requirements going forward, and its possible actions to secure additional capital might be subject to restrictions in applicable debt obligations, including restrictions on asset sales or the use of proceeds from other transactions. The Company may seek to raise capital through the public or private issuance of equity or unsecured debt securities. However, while the Company may seek to sell equity or debt securities, continued uncertainty in the capital markets may make it difficult for the Company to issue securities on terms that are favorable to it, if at all, and any such issuance of equity securities would likely be dilutive to existing shareholders. The Company might also seek, subject to restrictions in applicable debt obligations, to satisfy its long-term capital requirements through the formation of joint ventures with institutional partners, private equity investors or other REITs, or through a combination of some or all of the alternatives that might be available to the Company. The Company expects that other long-term capital requirements for which commitments have not previously been made, including any future redevelopment and development projects, renovations, expansions, property and portfolio acquisitions and other non-recurring capital improvements, may be deferred until such time as capital or financing can be obtained on terms the Company finds acceptable.goodwill (Level 3).

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting for Convertible Debt

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting requirements that clarify the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement). The Company’s exchangeable notes are within the scope of these new accounting requirements. The Company was required to retrospectively apply these new accounting requirements to prior periods, and recorded the impact of its adoption of these new accounting requirements as of the issuance date of the exchangeable notes (May 2007). Pursuant to these new accounting requirements, the value assigned to the debt component is the estimated fair value of a similar bond without the conversion feature, which would result in the debt being recorded at a discount. The Company determined that the fair value of the conversion feature at the date of the issuance was $19.3 million, which was recorded as an increase to capital contributed in excess of par and a decrease to exchangeable notes in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amount that was recorded for the conversion feature is not

amortized. The debt discount is amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the period during which the debt is expected to be outstanding. The unamortized discount on the exchangeable notes was $7.7 million and $11.4 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, following repurchases of some outstanding exchangeable notes by the Company in 2009. The implementation of this standard resulted in an increase to interest expense and net loss of $0.9 million and $2.6 million from amounts previously reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Business Combinations

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company prospectively adopted new accounting requirements relating to business combinations. These new accounting requirements apply to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. These new accounting requirements expand the scope of the acquisition method of accounting to include all business combinations and require an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Additionally, these new accounting requirements change the way entities account for business combinations achieved in stages by requiring the identifiable assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value at the acquisition date. These new accounting requirements require entities to directly expense transaction costs. The adoption of these new accounting requirements did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting requirements related to the classification and measurement of redeemable securities. The ownership interests in a subsidiary that are held by owners other than the parent are noncontrolling interests (which were previously reported on the consolidated balance sheet as “Minority interest”). Under these new accounting requirements, noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Under these new accounting requirements, such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the Company’s equity. Consolidated statements of equity are included for both quarterly and annual financial statements, including beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances. On the consolidated statements of operations, revenue, expenses and net loss are reported at the consolidated amounts including both the amounts attributable to the Company and to noncontrolling interests.

However, in accordance with these new accounting requirements, securities (including those considered to be noncontrolling interests) that are redeemable for cash or other assets at the option of the holder, not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions. Additionally, with respect to noncontrolling interests for which the Company has a choice to settle the contract by delivery in its own shares, the Company considered the guidance relating to the accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock, to evaluate whether such provisions are solely within the Company’s control. The Company has concluded that for its noncontrolling interests that allow for redemption in either cash or Company shares, all such provisions are solely within its control. As a result of its evaluation, the Company has determined that all of its noncontrolling interests qualify as permanent equity, and therefore are not subject to the classification and measurement provisions of these new accounting requirements.

As of September 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership’s noncontrolling interests have a redemption value of approximately $17.7 million (based on the Company’s closing common share price on the New York Stock Exchange on that date of $7.61), which represents the amount that would be paid to the Operating Partnership’s noncontrolling limited partners.

Also as a result of the adoption of these new accounting requirements, the statement of operations captions entitled “Income (loss) before minority interest,” “Minority interest” and “Net income (loss)” are now entitled “Net income (loss),” “Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest” and “Net income (loss) attributable to PREIT,” respectively.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company has a 99.8% interest in Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. (“BCA”) and an option to purchase the remaining interests, as described in note 3. BCA owns an office building. The Company has consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of BCA in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The interest that was not owned by the Company is reflected in noncontrolling interest on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of $15,000 and $3.8 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

September 30, 2009

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting requirements relating to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which require enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting.

Subsequent Events

Effective June 30, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting requirements relating to subsequent events. These new accounting requirements are modeled after the same principles as the subsequent event guidance in auditing literature, with some terminology changes and additional disclosures. The adoption of these new accounting requirements had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets

These new accounting requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009.assets.

These new accounting requirements amend the existing accounting guidance as follows:guidance: a) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, identifying the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; b) to require ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, rather than only when specific events occur; c) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest; d) to amend certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity; e) to add an additional reconsideration event when changes in facts and circumstances pertinent to a variable interest entity occur; f) to eliminate the exception for troubled debt restructuring regarding variable interest entity reconsideration; and g) to require advanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.

Capitalization of Costs

Costs incurred in relation to development and redevelopment projects for interest, property taxes and insurance are capitalized only during periods in which activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use are in progress. Costs incurred for such items after the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are charged to expense as incurred. Capitalized costs, as well as tenant inducement amounts and internal and external commissions, are recorded in construction in progress. The Company capitalizes a portion of development department employees’ compensation and benefits related to time spent involved in development and redevelopment projects.

The Company capitalizes payments made to obtain options to acquire real property. All otherOther related costs that are incurred before acquisition that are expected to have ongoing value to the project are capitalized if the acquisition of the property is probable. If the property is acquired, such costs are included in the amount recorded as the initial value of the asset. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are charged to abandoned project costs, income taxes and other expensesexpense when it is probable that the property will not be acquired. The Company recorded abandoned project costs of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September

A property to be heldthree and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In addition, these estimates may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.six months ended June 30, 2010.

and whether the effects could materially impact the Company’s results of operations. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

The Company tests for impairment in several situations, including when current or projected cash flows from a real estate investment are significantly less than budgeted cash flows, when it becomes more likely than not that a property will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, or when other events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value might not be recoverable. In the evaluation of the impairment of the Company’s assets, the Company makes many assumptions and estimates, including:

projected cash flows, both from operations and from a hypothetical disposition;

expected useful life and holding period;

future required capital expenditures; and

fair values, including consideration of capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices.

As a preliminary indicator to determine if the carrying value of a property might not be recovered by undiscounted cash flows, the Company utilizes a five-year planning model based on existing tenants, expectations about future rental activity and expense levels. For periods beyond the five-year model, the Company assumes a 2.0% rate of growth for cash flows over the estimated useful lives of the individual properties, which is lower than the historical assumed growth rate utilized because of the current economic conditions. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has not identified any properties that required further consideration of property and market specific conditions or factors to determine if the property was impaired.

Dispositions

In August 2009, the Company sold Crest Plaza in Allentown, Pennsylvania for $15.8 million. The Company recorded a gain of $3.4 million from this sale.

In June 2009, the Company sold a land parcel adjacent to North Hanover Mall in Hanover, Pennsylvania for $2.0 million. The Company recorded a gain of $1.4 million from this sale.

In June 2009, the Company sold a land parcel adjacent to Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids, Michigan for $2.7 million. The parcel contained a department store that was subject to a ground lease. The Company recorded a gain of $0.2 million from this sale.

In May 2009, the Company sold an outparcel and related land improvements containing an operating restaurant at Monroe Marketplace in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania for $0.9 million. The Company recorded an impairment of $0.1 million immediately prior to this transaction. No gain or loss was recorded from this sale.

Acquisitions

In January 2008, the Company entered into an agreement under which it acquired a 0.1% general partnership interest and a 49.8% limited partnership interest in BCA, and an option to purchase the remaining partnership interests in BCA. In June 2009, the Company acquired an additional 49.9% limited partnership interest in BCA at a second closing. A third closing is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2010 at which time the Company will acquire the remaining 0.2% limited partnership interest. BCA is the owner of One Cherry Hill Plaza, an office building located within the boundaries of the Company’s Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The Company acquired its interests in BCA for $4.1 million in cash and 140,745 OP Units paid at the first and second closings. See note 7 for further discussion.

5. FINANCING ACTIVITY

Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit FacilityAgreement

As of September 30, 2009, $485.0 million was outstanding underOn March 11, 2010, PREIT Associates and PRI (collectively, the Credit Facility, which expires March 20, 2010. The Company had pledged $3.0 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for letters of credit,“Borrower”), together with PR Gallery I Limited Partnership (“GLP”) and the unused portion of the Credit Facility that was available to the Company was $12.0 million at September 30, 2009. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed was 1.96% and 4.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding Credit Facility borrowings at September 30, 2009 was 1.65% (LIBOR plus 1.40%Keystone Philadelphia Properties, L.P. (“KPP”). The Company has agreed upon a non-binding term sheet with the lead bank in the Credit Facility and the Term Loan. The term sheet is subject to review and approval by the members of the Credit Facility bank group, which might or might not be obtained, or which might only be obtained following changes to the term sheet. Even if a term sheet is accepted by all of the members of the bank group, the Company might or might not be successful in negotiating satisfactory definitive documents.

Management, two other subsidiaries of the Company, believes that it will be ableentered into an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement comprised of a) an aggregate $520.0 million term loan made up of a $436.0 million term loan (“Term Loan A”) to reach an agreementthe Borrower and a separate $84.0 million term loan (“Term Loan B”) to the other two subsidiaries (collectively, the “2010 Term Loan”) and b) a $150.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and, together with the bank group2010 Term Loan, the “2010 Credit Facility”) with respect to a refinancing of the Credit Facility and Term Loan. This belief is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ, including: risks arising from a further downturn in economic and retail industry conditions, including unemployment, decreased consumer confidence and consumer spending, which particularly affect retail REITs like the Company; risks arising from disruptions in the capital and credit markets, which might affect the Company’s ability to obtain other debt or equity capital or the banks’ abilities to extend credit; the risk of a real or perceived decline in the value of the Company’s properties; risks arising from the Company’s substantial indebtedness, the level of its cash flows, its ability to comply with debt agreement covenants, and perceptions of its creditworthiness, which might affect the Company’s continuing attractiveness as a borrowerWells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the banks’ willingness to further extend credit; and other risks, including individual bank group members declining to approve a term sheet or definitive documents, which could inhibit the execution of a comprehensive agreement.

The amounts borrowed under the Company’s Credit Facility bear interest at a rate between 0.95% and 2.00% per annum over LIBOR based on the Company’s leverage. In determining the Company’s leverage, the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value, as defined in the Credit Facility agreement, is 7.50%.

The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and requirements customarily found in facilities of this type, as detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and which have not changed since that date. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Facility require, among other things, that the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, be less than 65%, provided that this leverage ratio can be exceeded for one period of two consecutive quarters, but may not exceed 70%. The financial covenants also require compliance with other debt yield, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios.institutions signatory thereto.

Compliance with each of these ratios is dependent uponThe 2010 Credit Facility replaced the Company’s financial performance. The leverage ratio is based, in part,previously existing $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, as amended (the “2003 Credit Facility”), and a $170.0 million unsecured term loan (the “2008 Term Loan”) that had been scheduled to mature on applying a capitalization rate to the Company’s net operating income. Based on this calculation method, decreases in net operating income would result in an increased leverage ratio, even if overall debt levels remain constant. The leverage ratio was 66.1% at the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The quarter ended September 30, 2009 was the first quarter that the ratio exceeded 65%. The financial covenants also require that the minimum debt yield ratio, asMarch 20, 2010. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the description of the 2010 Credit Facility be greater than 9.75%have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2010 Credit Facility.

The initial term of the 2010 Credit Facility is three years, and the Borrower has the right to one 12-month extension of the initial maturity date, subject to certain conditions and to the payment of an extension fee of 0.50% of the then outstanding Commitments.

The Company used the initial proceeds from the 2010 Credit Facility to repay outstanding balances under the 2003 Credit Facility and 2008 Term Loan. At closing, the $520.0 million 2010 Term Loan was fully outstanding and $70.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

Amounts borrowed under the 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate between 4.00% and 4.90% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage, in excess of LIBOR, with no floor. The initial rate in effect was 4.90% per annum in excess of LIBOR. In determining the Company’s leverage (the ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value), provided that this ratio can be less than 9.75% for one period of two consecutive quarters, but may not be below 9.25%the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value is 8.00%. The minimum debt yield ratio was 9.74%unused portion of the Revolving Facility is subject to a fee of 0.40% per annum.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix $100.0 million of the underlying LIBOR associated with the 2010 Term Loan at a weighted-average rate of 1.77% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. three-year initial term.

The Minimum Release Price is 110% (120% if, after the Release, there will be fewer than 10 Collateral Properties) multiplied by the proportion that the value of the property to be released bears to the aggregate value of all of the Collateral Properties on the closing date of the 2010 Credit Facility, multiplied by the amount of the then Revolving Commitments plus the aggregate principal amount then outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan.

To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Company’s outstanding derivatives have been designated under accounting requirements as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”loss” and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. To the extent these instruments are ineffective as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in “Other (expenses) income,“Interest expense, net.” The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s derivative assets are recorded in “Fair value of derivative assets.” The Company’s derivativeand liabilities are recorded in “Fair value of derivative liabilities.instruments.

During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company’s derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company recorded no amounts associated with hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a gain due to hedge ineffectiveness of $2.0 million.

Amounts reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”loss” that are related to derivatives will be reclassified to “Interest expense, net” as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $15.6$15.2 million would be reclassified as an increase to interest expense in connection with derivatives.

Interest Rate Swaps and Cap

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had entered into 11 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.41% (excluding the spread on the related debt) on a notional amount of $732.6 million maturing on various dates through November 2013. Five interest rate swap agreements that were outstanding as of December 31, 2009 were settled in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.37% on a notional amount of $200.0 million maturing on various dates through March 2013.

The Company entered into these interest rate swap agreements and the cap agreement in order to hedge the interest payments associated with the Company’s 2010 Credit Facility and issuances of variable interest rate long-term debt. The Company assessed the effectiveness of these swap agreements and cap agreement as hedges at inception and on June 30, 2010 and considered these swap agreements and cap agreement to be highly effective cash flow hedges. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement will be settled in cash.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision pursuant to which, if the entity that originated such derivative instruments defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company was not in default on any of its derivative obligations.

The Company has an agreement with a derivative counterparty that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of the Company’s loan agreement with a lender affiliated with the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which excludes accrued interest but includes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $17.7$27.3 million. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, it would have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value (including accrued interest) of $22.3$31.0 million. The Company has not breached any of the provisions as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009.

Fair Value

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, an entity establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

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

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty��scounterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

June 30, 2010

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the Company has assessed the significance of the effect of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company cash settled all of its forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million. The Company paid an aggregate of $16.5 million in cash to settle these swaps. The swaps were settled in anticipation of the Company’s issuance of long term debt. Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2009 includes a net loss of $13.5 million relating to forward-starting swaps that the Company has cash settled that are being amortized over 10 year periods commencing on the closing dates of the debt instruments that are associated with these settled swaps.

Interest Rate Swaps and Cap

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had entered into 12 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement that have a weighted average interest rate of 3.29% on a notional amount of $597.5 million maturing on various dates through November 2013.

The Company entered into these interest rate swap agreements and the cap agreement in order to hedge the interest payments associated with the Company’s 2008 issuances of variable interest rate long-term debt. The Company assessed the effectiveness of these swap agreements and cap agreement as hedges at inception and on September 30, 2009 and considered these swap agreements and cap agreement to be highly effective cash flow hedges. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement will be settled in cash.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity REITs in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls and strip and power centers located in the eastern half of the United States, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. As of September 30, 2009, ourOur portfolio consistedcurrently consists of a total of 5554 properties in 13 states, including 38 shopping malls, 1413 strip and power centers and three development properties, under development.with two of the development properties classified as “mixed use” (a combination of retail and other uses) and one of the development properties classified as “other.” As of June 30, 2010, the Philadelphia metropolitan area represented approximately 33% of our gross leasable area; other properties in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey accounted for approximately 38% of our gross leasable area; properties in Maryland and Virginia accounted for approximately 10% of our gross leasable area; and properties in other locations represented the remaining approximately 19% of our gross leasable area. The operating retail properties have a total of 34.9approximately 34.7 million square feet. The operating retail properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes have a total of 30.4approximately 30.1 million square feet, of which we own 24.1approximately 23.9 million square feet. The operating retail properties that are owned by unconsolidated partnerships with third parties have a total of 4.5approximately 4.6 million square feet, of which 2.9 million square feet are owned by such partnerships. The development portion of our portfolio contains three properties in two states, with two classified as “mixed use” (a combination of retail and other uses) and one classified as “other.” In October 2009, we sold a controlling interest in Northeast Tower Center, a power center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Our primary business is owning and operating shopping malls and strip and power centers. Our current strategic initiatives include maintaining a leading position in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, promoting our mall locations as retail hubs in their trade areas, optimizing our portfolio by selling non-core assets as market conditions permit, and reducing our leverage through a variety of means available to us, subject to the terms of the 2010 Credit Facility, as further described below.

We evaluate operating results and allocate resources on a property-by-property basis, and do not distinguish or evaluate our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. No individual property constitutes more than 10% of our consolidated revenue or assets, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to the nature of our properties and the nature of our tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term financial performance. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue, and none of our properties are located outside the United States.

We hold our interests in our portfolio of properties through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates”). We are the sole general partner of PREIT Associates and, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, held a 94.9%96.0% controlling interest in PREIT Associates. We consolidate PREIT Associates for financial reporting purposes. We hold our investments in seven of the 5251 retail properties and one of the three development properties in our portfolio through unconsolidated partnerships or tenancy in common relationships with third parties in which we own a 40% to 50% interest. We hold a noncontrolling interest in each unconsolidated partnership, and account for such partnerships using the equity method of accounting. We do not control any of these equity method investees for the following reasons:

 

Except for two properties that we co-manage with our partner, all of the other entities are managed on a day-to-day basis by one of our partners as the managing general partner in each of the respective partnerships. In the case of the co-managed properties, all decisions in the ordinary course of business are made jointly.

 

The managing general partner of each partnership is responsible for establishing the operating and capital decisions of the partnership, including budgets, in the ordinary course of business.

 

All major decisions of each partnership, such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property, require the approval of all partners.

 

Voting rights and the sharing of profits and losses are generally in proportion to the ownership percentages of each partner.

We record the earnings from the unconsolidated partnerships using the equity method of accounting under the statement of operations caption entitled “Equity in income of partnerships,” rather than consolidating the results of the unconsolidated partnerships with our results. Changes in our investments in these entities are recorded in the balance sheet caption entitled “Investment in partnerships, at equity.” In the case of deficit investment balances, such amounts are recorded in “Distributions in excess of partnership investments.”

We hold our interest in three of our unconsolidated partnerships through tenancy in common arrangements. For each of these properties, title is held by us and another person or persons, and each has an undivided interest in the property. With respect to each of the three properties, under the applicable agreements between us and the other persons with ownership interests, we and such other persons have joint control because decisions regarding matters such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property require the approval of both us and the other person (or at least one of the other persons) owning an interest in the property. Hence, we account for each of the properties using the equity method of accounting. The balance sheet items arising from these properties appear under the caption “Investments in partnerships, at equity.” The income statement items arising from these properties appearsappear in “Equity in income of partnerships.”

We record the earnings from the unconsolidated partnerships using the equity method of accounting under the statement of operations caption entitled “Equity in income of partnerships,” rather than consolidating the results of the unconsolidated partnerships with our results. Changes in our investments in these entities are recorded in the balance sheet caption entitled “Investment in partnerships, at equity.” In the case of deficit investment balances, such amounts are recorded in “Distributions in excess of partnership investments.”

For further information regarding our unconsolidated partnerships, see note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

We provide our management, leasing and real estate development services through PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally managesdevelops and developsmanages properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally managesdevelops and developsmanages properties that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties in which we own interests in through partnerships with third parties and properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest. OnePRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means that it is able to offer an expanded menu of services to tenants without jeopardizing our long-term objectives is to obtain managerial control ofcontinuing qualification as many of our assets as possible. Due to the nature of our existing partnership arrangements, we cannot anticipate when this objective will be achieved, if at all.a REIT under federal tax law.

Our revenue consists primarily of fixed rental income, additional rent in the form of expense reimbursements, and percentage rent (rent that is based on a percentage of our tenants’ sales or a percentage of sales in excess of thresholds that are specified in the applicable leases) derived from our income producing retail properties. We also receive income from our real estate partnership investments and from the management and leasing services PRI provides.

CURRENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties2009 that did not recur in the ordinary course of business that could have adverse effects on our operating resultssix months ended June 30, 2010.

Current Economic Downturn and financial condition. Challenging Capital Market Conditions

The most significant external risks facing us today stem from the current downturn in the overall economy and challenging conditionsthe disruptions in the capital and credit markets.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated from leases with retail tenants. The reduction in consumer spending as a result of decliningfinancial markets have reduced consumer confidence and increasing unemployment has negatively affected employment and mightconsumer spending on retail goods. As a result, the sales performance of retailers in general and sales at our properties in particular have decreased from peak levels. We have also experienced delays or deferred decisions regarding the openings of new retail stores and of lease renewals. We have modified and continue to negatively affect,modify our plans and actions to take into account the operations of many retail companies. Beginningdifficult current environment.

In addition, credit markets have experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions. These circumstances have materially affected liquidity in the second halfdebt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the limited availability or unavailability of 2008 and continuing in 2009, the numbercertain types of retail bankruptcies and store closings has increased. Retailers also have reduced the number of store openings planned for 2009 and 2010 due to these economic conditions. These conditions have caused, and might continue to cause, our occupancy rates, revenue and net income to decline.

ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS, REDEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

We record our acquisitions based on estimates of fair value, as determined by management, based on information available and on assumptions about future performance. These allocations are subject to revisions, in accordance with GAAP, during the twelve month periods following the closings of the respective acquisitions.

Acquisitions

In February 2008, we acquired a 49.9% ownership interest in Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P., which owns One Cherry Hill Plaza, an office building located within the boundaries of our Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. In June 2009, we acquired an additional 49.9% ownership interest. See “Related Party Transactions” for further information about this transaction.debt financing.

DispositionsDevelopment and Redevelopment

In October 2009,We have reached the last phase in our current redevelopment program. Over the past five years, we sold a controlling interesthave invested approximately $1.0 billion in Northeast Towerour portfolio. The current estimated project cost of Voorhees Town Center, a power center located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for $30.4 million. We will record a gain of approximately $6.0our only remaining redevelopment property, is $83.0 million, from this transaction in the fourth quarter of 2009.

In August 2009, we sold Crest Plaza in Allentown, Pennsylvania for $15.8 million. We recorded a gain of $3.4 million from this sale.

In June 2009, we sold a land parcel adjacent to North Hanover Mall in Hanover, Pennsylvania for $2.0 million. We recorded a gain of $1.4 million from this sale.

In June 2009, we sold a land parcel adjacent to Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids, Michigan for $2.7 million. The parcel contained a department store that was subject to a ground lease. We recorded a gain of $0.2 million from this sale.

In May 2009, we sold an outparcel and related land improvements containing an operating restaurant at Monroe Marketplace in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania for $0.9 million. We recorded impairment of $0.1 million immediately prior to this transaction. No gain or loss was recorded from this sale.

Redevelopment and Development

We are engaged in the redevelopment of five of our consolidated properties. We might undertake redevelopment projects at additional properties in the future. These projects might include the introduction of residential, office or other uses to our properties. As of September 30, 2009, we had incurred $453.8 million of costs related to these five redevelopment properties. The total costs identified to date to complete these projects, net of tenant reimbursement and tax credits, are expected to be approximately $493.1 million in the aggregate, including amounts invested to date.

The following table sets forth the amount of our estimated total cost and the amountsamount invested as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009 in each2010 was $68.8 million.Our projected share of estimated project costs is net of any expected tenant reimbursements, parcel sales, tax credits or other incentives. We may spend additional amounts at our completed redevelopment project:

We are engaged in the development of three mixed use and other projects, that we believe meet the financial hurdles that we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances, although we do not expect to make material investments in these projects in the short term. We also own and manage one property that is now operating while some remaining development takes place. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, we had incurred $91.2$78.1 million of costs related to these developmentthree projects. WeThe details of the White Clay Point, Springhills and Pavilion at Market East projects and related costs have not been determined. In each case, we will evaluate the financing opportunities available to us at the time a project requires funding. In cases where the project is undertaken with a partner, our flexibility in funding the project might be restrictedgoverned by the partnership agreement or restricted by the covenants contained in our 2010 Credit Facility, which limit our involvement or flexibility in such projects.

We generally seek to develop these projects in areas that we believe evidence the likelihood of supporting additional retail development and have desirable population or income trends, and where we believe the projects have the potential for strong competitive positions. We will consider other uses of a property that would have synergies with our retail development and redevelopment based on several factors, including local demographics, market demand for other uses such as residential and office, and applicable land use regulations. In recent quarters, we generally had several development projects under way at one time. These projects were typically in various stages of the development process. We manage all aspects of these undertakings, including market and trade area research, site selection, acquisition, preliminary development work, construction and leasing. We monitor our developments closely, including costs and tenant interest.

The following table sets forth the amount of our estimated total cost and the amounts invested as of SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 in each development project:

In connection with theour redevelopment projects and development projects listed above and other projects ongoingcapital improvements at ourcertain other properties, we have made contractual and other commitments on these projects in the form of tenant allowances, lease termination amountsfees and contracts with general contractors and other professional service providers. We estimate that we will incur approximately $20.0 million duringAs of June 30, 2010, the unaccrued remainder of 2009 and up to an additional $50.0 million, net of expected reimbursements, in 2010 and 2011, to fund our current development and redevelopment projects, including $14.6 million as to which we are contractually committed. While we expect that the expenditures related to our redevelopment and development projects listed in this report will continue through 2011, we believe that our construction in progress balance has peaked. Construction in progress represents the aggregate expenditures on projects less amounts placed in service. Generally, assets are placed in service upon substantial completion or when tenants begin occupancy and rent payments commence.

Continued uncertainty in the credit markets might negatively affect our ability to access additional debt financing on reasonable terms, or at all, which might negatively affect our ability to fund our redevelopment and development projectsbe paid against these contractual and other business initiatives.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P.

In January 2008, PREIT Associates and another subsidiary of PREIT entered into a Contribution Agreement with Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. (“BCA”), City Line Associates (“CLA”), Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin, Joseph Coradino, and two other individuals to acquire all of the partnership interests in BCA. BCA entered into a tax deferred exchange agreement with the owners of One Cherry Hill Plaza, an office building located within the boundaries of our Cherry Hill Mall (the “Office Building”), to acquire title to the Office Building in exchange for an office building located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania owned by BCA.

Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin, Joseph Coradino and two other individuals (collectively, the “Individuals”) own 100% of CLA, a limited partnership that owned 50% of BCA immediately prior to closing. Each of Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin owns 40.53% of the partnership interests in CLA, and Joseph Coradino owns 3.16% of the partnership interests. Immediately prior to the closing, BCA redeemed 50% of its partnership interests, which were held by a third party. At the initial closing under the Contribution Agreement and in exchange for a 0.1% general partner interest and 49.8% limited partner interest in BCA, we made a capital contribution to BCA in an approximate amount of $3.9 million.

In June 2009, a second closing occurred in which we acquired an additional 49.9% of the limited partner interest in BCA from the Individuals for 140,745 OP Units and a nominal cash amount. A third closing is expected to occur pursuant to a put/call agreement approximately one year after the second closing, at which time we will acquire the remaining interest in BCA from the Individuals in exchange for 564 OP Units and a nominal cash amount. None of Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin or Joseph Coradino received any consideration from us in connection with the first closing.

The acquisition of the Office Building was financed in part by a mortgage loan with a principal amount of $8.0 million.

PREIT and PREIT Associates have agreed to provide tax protection to the Individuals in connection with taxes arising from a sale of the Office Building during the eight years following the initial closing.

In accordance with our related party transactions policy, a special committee consisting exclusively of independent members of our Board of Trustees considered and approved the terms of this transaction. The approval was subject to final approval of our Board of Trustees, and the disinterested members of our Board of Trustees approved the transaction.

PRI provides management, leasing and development services for eightnine properties owned by partnerships and other entities in which certain officers or trustees of the Company and of PRI or members of their immediate families and affiliated entities have indirect ownership interests. Total revenue earned by PRI for such services was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for each of the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and 2008,2009, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.8$0.4 million for each of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and 2008,2009, respectively.

We lease our principal executive offices from Bellevue Associates (the “Landlord”)., an entity in which certain of our officers/trustees have an interest. Total rent expense under this lease was $0.4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $0.8 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin, collectively with members of their immediate families and affiliated entities, own approximately a 50% interest in the Landlord. The office lease has a 10 year term that commenced on November 1, 2004. Our base rent is $1.4 million per year during the first five years of the office lease and $1.5 million per year during the second five years. Total rent expense under this lease was $0.4 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and $1.2 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

We use an airplane in which Ronald Rubin owns a fractional interest. We did not incur any expenses in the first nine months of 2009 for this service. We paid $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008, and $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for flight time used by employees on Company-related business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policiesAccounting Policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that maymight change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilitiesinstruments at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. The estimates and assumptions made by management in applying critical accounting policies have not changed materially during 2010 and 2009, except as otherwise noted, and none of these estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods. We will continue to monitor the key factors underlying our estimates and judgments, but no change is currently expected.

Our management makes complex or subjective assumptions and judgments in connection with respect to applying its critical accounting policies. In making these judgments and assumptions, management considers, among other factors:

 

events and changes in property, market and economic conditions;

 

estimated future cash flows from property operations; and

 

the risk of loss on specific accounts or amounts.

The estimates and assumptions made by managementFor additional information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies, please refer to the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in applying critical accounting policies have not changed materially during 2009 and 2008, and nonePart II, Item 7 of these estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods. We will continue to monitor the key factors underlying our estimates and judgments, but no change is currently expected. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Asset Impairment

Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable. A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. In addition, these estimates may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact our net income. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

We test for impairment in several situations, including when current or projected cash flows from a real estate investment are significantly less than budgeted cash flows, when it becomes more likely than not that a property will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, or when other events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value might not be recoverable. In the evaluation of the impairment of our assets, we make many assumptions and estimates, including:

projected cash flows, both from operations and from a hypothetical disposition;

expected useful life and holding period;

future required capital expenditures; and

fair values, including consideration of capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices.

As a preliminary indicator to determine if the carrying value of a property might not be recovered by undiscounted cash flows, we utilized a five-year planning model based on existing tenants, expectations about future rental activity and expense levels. For periods beyond the five-year model, we assumed a 2.0% rate of growth for cash flows over the estimated useful lives of the individual properties, which is lower than the historical assumed growth rate utilized because of the current economic conditions. As a result of this test, we did not identify any properties that required further consideration of property and market specific conditions or factors to determine if the property was impaired.

An other than temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, including the results of discounted cash flow and other valuation techniques. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

Application of New Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently amended its guidance surrounding a company’s analysis to determine whether any of its variable interests constitute controlling financial interests in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics:

a.The power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the company’s economic performance.

b.The obligation to absorb losses of the company that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.

Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and, accordingly, we will reevaluate our interests in variable interest entities for the period beginning on January 1, 2010 to determine that the entities are reflected properly in the financial statements as investments or consolidated entities. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our financial statements.2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three and NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and 20082009

Overview

Our results in recent periods have been significantly affected by challenging conditions in the economy and by ongoing redevelopment initiatives that were in various stages at several of our consolidated mall properties. While we might undertake a redevelopment project to maximize the long-term performance of the property, in the short term, the operations and performance of the property, as measured by occupancy and net operating income, can be negatively affected by the project. Forloss for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010 increased to $23.7 million, a $19.5 million increase from the $4.2 million net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our net loss increased by $26.4 million to a net loss of $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from a net loss of $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in the loss was affected by decreased occupancy as a result of tenant bankruptciesincreased operating expenses and store closings in 2008 and 2009, increased depreciation and amortization as a result of development and redevelopment assets having been placed in service, increased interest expense, primarily as a result of a higher aggregate debt balance and properties placed in service, and increased property operating expenses compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 includedwell as gains on extinguishment of debt and gains onfrom the sales of real estate and a gain ondiscontinued operations that occurred during the sale of discontinued operations.three and six months ended June 30, 2009 that did not recur in the three or six months ended June 30, 2010.

Revenue

Real estate revenueRevenue decreased by $0.5$0.9 million, or 1%, in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008. Real estate revenue increased $1.1 million from two properties under development during 2008 that are now placed in service.2009. Real estate revenue from properties that were owned by us priorfor the entire period from April 1, 2009 to July 1, 2008June 30, 2010 (“Second Quarter Same Store Properties”) decreased by $1.6$1.2 million, primarily due to decreases of $1.6$1.0 million in expense reimbursements $0.4and $0.5 million in other revenue and $0.1 million in percentage

rent.lease terminations. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.5$0.3 million in base rent, which is comprised of minimum rent, straight line rent and rent from tenants that pay a percentage of sales in lieu of minimum rent. These changes in real estate revenue are explained below in further detail. Real estate revenue also increased by $0.2 million from one property under development during 2009 that was placed in service in 2010.

Expense reimbursements decreased

Base rent for the Second Quarter Same Store Properties increased by $1.6$0.3 million in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009. Base rent at three of our recently completed redevelopment projects increased by an aggregate of $1.9 million due to increased occupancy from newly opened tenants. Partially offsetting this increase, base rent decreased by $1.1 million because of increased vacancy and leases that were converted to percentage rent in lieu of base rent. Base rent was also affected by a $0.5 million decrease in above/below market lease amortization from the prior year, when $0.6 million was recognized as revenue in connection with leases that were terminated prior to their expiration.

Expense reimbursements decreased by $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. At many of our malls, we have continued to recover a lower proportion of common area maintenance and real estate tax expenses.expenses than in prior periods. In addition to being affected by store closings, our properties are experiencing a trend towards more gross leases (leases that provide that tenants pay a higher base rent amount in lieu of contributing toward common area maintenance costs and real estate taxes), as well as more leases that provide for the rent amount to be determined on the basis of a percentage of sales in lieu of minimum rent. We are also experiencing rental concessions made to tenants affected by our redevelopment activities, to tenants experiencing financial difficulties, as well as other rental concessions driven by conditions in the economy.

Other revenueLease terminations decreased by $0.4 million, primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in marketing revenue. The decrease in marketing revenue was offset by a corresponding $0.3 million decrease in marketing expense. Marketing revenue is generally recognized in tandem with marketing expense. Percentage rent decreased by $0.1 million due to a decrease in tenant sales compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was also partially due to a trend in certain leases toward slightly higher minimum rent and higher thresholds at which percentage rent begins.

Base rent increased by $0.5 million in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009, primarily due to $0.5 million received from one tenant during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Revenue increased by $3.4 million, or 2%, in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Real estate revenue from properties that were owned for the entire period from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 (“Six Month Same Store Properties”) increased by $2.8 million, primarily due to increases of $2.5 million in base rent, a $0.8 million increase in lease terminations and a $0.1 million increase in percentage rent. This increase was partially offset by decreases of $0.4 million in expense reimbursements and $0.2 million in other revenue. Real estate revenue increased $0.5 million from one property under development during 2009 that was placed in service in 2010.

Base rent for the Six Month Same Store Properties increased by $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Base rent at Cherry Hill Mall, Voorhees Town Center and Plymouth Meeting Mall, three of our currentrecently completed redevelopment projects increased by $0.9an aggregate of $4.5 million $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, due to increased occupancy from newly opened tenants. Base rent at Sunrise Plaza, a development project that opened in October 2007, increased by $0.2 million due to increased occupancy from tenants that opened new stores. Partially offsetting these increases,this increase, base rent decreased by $1.3$1.5 million duebecause of increased vacancy and leases that were converted to 67 store closings and liquidations associated with tenant bankruptcy filings during 2008 and 2009. Aspercentage rent in lieu of September 30, 2009, 13 ofbase rent. Base rent was also affected by a $0.5 million decrease in above/below market lease amortization from the 67 stores have been leased to new tenants.

Interest and other income decreased byprior year, when $0.6 million or 41%,was recognized as revenue in connection with leases that were terminated prior to their expiration.

Lease terminations increased by $0.8 million in the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008 due to lower interest rates on excess cash investments and non-recurring development fees and leasing commissions recorded in 2008.

Real estate revenue decreased by $1.7 million, or 1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Real estate revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was significantly affected by tenant bankruptcies and store closings, resulting in lower occupancy and expense reimbursements and higher bad debt expense compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Real estate revenue from two properties that were under development during 2008 that are now placed in service increased by $3.0 million, and real estate revenue from One Cherry Hill Plaza (office building acquired in February 2008) increased by $0.1 million. Real estate revenue from properties that were owned by us prior to January 1, 2008 decreased by $4.8 million, primarily due to decreases of $1.4 million in expense reimbursements, $1.1 million in percentage rent, $1.0 million in lease termination revenue, $0.9 million in other revenue and $0.4 million in base rent. These changes in real estate revenue are explained below in further detail.

Expense reimbursements decreased by $1.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. At many of our malls, we have continued to recover a lower proportion of common area maintenance and real estate tax expenses. In addition to being affected by store closings, our properties are experiencing a trend towards more gross leases (leases that provide that tenants pay a higher base rent amount in lieu of contributing toward common area maintenance costs and real estate taxes), as well as more leases that provide for the rent amount to be determined on the basis of a percentage of sales in lieu of minimum rent. We are also experiencing rental concessions made to tenants affected by our redevelopment activities, to tenants experiencing financial difficulties as well as rental concessions driven by conditions in the economy.

Percentage rent decreased by $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to a decrease in tenant sales. This decrease was also partially due to a trend in certain leases toward slightly higher minimum rent and higher thresholds at which percentage rent begins. Lease termination revenue decreased by $1.0 million, primarily due to $1.4 million received from one tenant induring the ninethree months ended September 30, 2008. Other revenue decreased by $0.9 million, primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in marketing revenue. The decrease in marketing revenue was offset by a corresponding $0.6 million decrease in marketing expense. Marketing revenue is generally recognized in tandem with marketing expense.

NET OPERATING INCOME

Net operating income (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP) minus property operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP). It does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income. We believe that net operating incomeNet Operating Income is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP measure, as income before gains and losses on sales of operating properties and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate depreciation; plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We compute Funds From Operations by taking the amount determined pursuant to the NAREIT definition and subtracting dividends on preferred shares (“FFO”) (for periods during which we had preferred shares outstanding).

Funds From OperationsFFO is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability in the real estate industry, and weindustry. We use FFO and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit as supplemental non-GAAP measures to compare our Company’s performance for different periods to that of our industry peers. Similarly, FFO per diluted share and OP Unit is a measure that is useful measure because it reflects the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. In addition, we use FFO and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit as one of the performance measures for determining

incentive compensation amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs. We compute Funds From OperationsFFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, less dividends on preferred shares (for periods during which we had preferred shares outstanding), which may not be comparable to Funds From OperationsFFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO does not include gains and losses on sales of operating real estate assets, which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as net operating income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO. We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as various non-recurring items that are considered extraordinary under GAAP, gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate.

FFO was $29.8$19.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, a decrease of $1.1$18.1 million, or 4%48%, compared to $30.9$37.8 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009. FFO decreased due to a decrease in net income as a result of increased operating expenses and higher interest expense, as well as gains on sales of non operating real estate that occurred in 2009 that did not recur in 2010. FFO per diluted share decreased $0.08$0.54 per diluted share to $0.67$0.37 per diluted share for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, compared to $0.75$0.91 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The per diluted share amounts reflect the issuance through SeptemberJune 30, 2009, due in part to a higher weighted average number of shares primarilyfollowing the May 2010 equity offering and equity issuances in connection with the repurchase of exchangeable notes.2009.

FFO was $96.9$45.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, a decrease of $2.8$21.9 million, or 3%33%, compared to $99.7$67.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009. FFO decreased due to a decrease in net income as a result of increased operating expenses and interest expense, as well as gains on sales of non operating real estate that occurred in 2009 that did not recur in 2010. FFO per diluted share decreased $0.14$0.72 per diluted share to $2.29$0.91 per diluted share for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, compared to $2.43$1.63 per diluted share for the ninesix months ended September 30, 2008. The per diluted share amounts reflect the issuance through SeptemberJune 30, 2009, due in part to a higher weighted average number of shares primarilyfollowing the May 2010 equity offering and equity issuances in connection with the repurchase of exchangeable notes.2009.

The shares used to calculate both FFO per basic share and FFO per diluted share include common shares and OP Units not held by us. FFO per diluted share also includes the effect of common share equivalents.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section contains certain “forward-looking statements” that relate to expectations and projections that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our future liquidity and capital resources, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that might cause our actual liquidity and capital resources to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Additional factors that might affect our liquidity and capital resources include those discussed in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20082009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of this report.Commission. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements about our liquidity and capital resources to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

Capital Resources

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including distributions to shareholders, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, but excluding development and redevelopment projects, generally through our available working capital and net cash provided by operations.operations, subject to the terms and conditions of our 2010 Credit Facility. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make any distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The aggregate distributions made to common shareholders and OP Unitholders in the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 were $25.5$15.7 million, following two reductions in the amountbased on quarterly distributions of our quarterly dividend.$0.15 per share and OP Unit. The following are some of the factors that could affect our cash flows and require the funding of future cash distributions, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements or leasing commissions with sources other than operating cash flows:

 

adverse changes or continued prolonged downturns in general, local or retail industry economic, financial, credit market or competitive conditions, leading to a reduction in real estate revenue or cash flows or an increase in expenses;

continued deterioration in our tenants’ business operations and financial stability, including additional tenant bankruptcies, leasing delays or terminations, or lower sales, causing deferrals or declines in rent, percentage rent and cash flows;

 

inability to achieve targets for, or decreases in, property occupancy and rental rates, or higher costs or delays in completion of our development andor redevelopment projects, resulting in lower or deferreddelayed real estate revenue and operating income;

 

increases in interest rates or higher debt balances resulting in higher borrowing costs; and

 

increases in operating costs that cannot be passed on to tenants, resulting in reduced operating income and cash flows.

We have historically usedexpect to meet certain of our remaining obligations to fund existing development and redevelopment projects and certain capital requirements, including scheduled debt maturities, future property and portfolio acquisitions, expenses associated with acquisitions, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements through a substantial amountvariety of capital sources, subject to the terms and conditions of our 2010 Credit Facility.

The difficult conditions in the market for debt to financecapital and commercial mortgage loans, including the commercial mortgage backed securities market, and the downturn in the general economy and its effect on retail sales, as well as our business, and we have relied primarily on new borrowingssignificant leverage resulting from debt incurred to fund our redevelopment projects and other development projects. We estimateactivity, have combined to necessitate that we will incur approximately $20.0 million duringvary our approach to obtaining, using and recycling capital. We intend to consider all of our available options for accessing the remaindercapital markets, given our position and constraints.

The amounts remaining to be invested in the last phase of 2009, and up to an additional $50.0 million, net of expected reimbursements, in 2010 and 2011, to fund our current redevelopment program are significantly less than in 2009, and development projects, including $14.6 million as to which we are contractually committed.

As of September 30, 2009, $485.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, which matures March 20, 2010. In addition,believe that we have pledged $3.0 million underaccess to sufficient capital to fund these remaining amounts.

In the Credit Facility as collateral for letters of credit. The unused portion of the Credit Facility that waspast, one avenue available to us to finance our obligations or new business initiatives has been to obtain unsecured debt, based in part on September 30, 2009 was $12.0 million. Wethe existence of properties in our portfolio that were not subject to mortgage loans. The terms of the 2010 Credit Facility include our grant of a security interest consisting of a first lien on 22 properties and a second lien on one property. As a result, we have agreed upon a non-binding term sheet with the lead bankvery few remaining assets that we could use to support unsecured debt financing. Our lack of properties in the Credit Facility and the senior unsecured term loan (“Term Loan”) to refinance such debt. The term sheet is subject to review and approval by the members of the Credit Facility bank group, which might or might not be obtained, or which might only be obtained following changes to the term sheet. Even if a term sheet is accepted by all of the members of the bank group, we might or might not be successful in negotiating satisfactory definitive documents.

Management believes that it will be able to reach an agreement with the bank group with respect to a refinancing of the Credit Facility and Term Loan. This belief is subject to risks and uncertaintiesportfolio that could cause actual eventsbe used to differ, including: risks arising from a further downturn in economic or retail industry conditions, including unemployment, decreased consumer confidence and consumer spending, which particularly affect retail REITs like us; risks arising from disruptions in the capital and credit markets, which might affectsupport unsecured debt limits our ability to obtain other debt or equity capital or the banks’ abilities to extend credit; the risk of a real or perceived decline in the value of our properties; risks arising from our substantial indebtedness, the level of our cash flows, our ability to comply with debt agreement covenants, and perceptions of our creditworthiness, which might affect our continuing attractiveness as a borrower and the banks’ willingness to further extend credit; and other risks, including individual bank group members declining to approve a term sheet or definitive documents, which could inhibit the execution of a comprehensive agreement. In addition, see those risks discussed in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of this report, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.way.

We expectare contemplating ways to satisfyreduce our remaining 2009 capital requirements for redevelopment and development projects and debt maturitiesleverage through existing cash balances, as well as through borrowings under our Credit Facility, extensionsa variety of the maturity dates of existing indebtedness, additional borrowings secured by certain select properties and operating cash flow. We expectmeans available to continue to use some or all of these methods to meet our capital requirements in early 2010, assuming we refinance our Credit facility and Term Loan,us, and subject to any restrictions that we may agree toand in connectionaccordance with any such refinancing. Given the continued weaknessterms and conditions of the credit markets and our current financial position and results of operations, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance our2010 Credit Facility, Term Loan or other existing debt. Even if we are able to refinance our Credit Facility and Term Loan, we may not be able to obtain theFacility. These steps might include obtaining additional capital necessary to satisfy our obligations or requirements going forward, and our possible actions to secure additional capital might be subject to restrictions in applicable debt obligations, including restrictions on asset sales or the use of proceeds from other transactions. We may seek to raiseequity capital through the public or private issuance of equity or debt securities. However, while we may seek to sell equity or unsecured debt securities, continued uncertainty in the capital markets may make it difficult for us to issue securities on terms that are favorable to us, if at all, and any such issuance of equity securities would likely be dilutive to existing shareholders. We might also seek to satisfy, subject to restrictionsif market conditions are favorable, as was done in applicable debt obligations, our long-term capital requirementsMay 2010, through the formation of joint ventures or other partnerships or arrangements involving our contribution of assets with institutional partners,investors, private equity investors or other REITs, through sales of properties with values in excess of their mortgage loans or allocable debt and application of the excess proceeds to debt reduction, or through a combination of some or all of the alternatives that may be available to us. We expect that other long-term capital requirements for which commitments have not previously been made, including any future redevelopment and development projects, renovations, expansions, property and portfolio acquisitions and other non-recurring capital improvements, may be deferred until such time as capital or financing can be obtained on terms we find acceptable.actions.

We may use our $1.0 billion universal shelf registration statement, which was used for the May 2010 common equity offering, to offer and sell common shares of beneficial interest, preferred shares and various types of debt securities, among other types of securities, to the public. However, we may be unable to issue securities under the shelf registration statement, or otherwise, on terms that are favorable to us, if at all.

Credit FacilityEquity Offering

In May 2010, we issued 10,350,000 common shares in a public offering at $16.25 per share. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $160.7 million after deducting payment of the underwriting discount of $0.69 per share and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings under our 2010 Credit Facility. Specifically, we used $106.5 million of the net proceeds to repay a portion of the 2010 Term Loan under the 2010 Credit Facility and $54.2 million to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility under the 2010 Credit Facility. As a result of this transaction, we satisfied the requirement contained in the 2010 Credit Facility to reduce the aggregate amount of the lender Revolving Commitments and 2010 Term Loan by $100.0 million over the term of the 2010 Credit Facility.

Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (2010 Credit Facility)

On March 11, 2010, PREIT Associates and PRI (collectively, the “Borrower”), together with PR Gallery I Limited Partnership (“GLP”) and Keystone Philadelphia Properties, L.P. (“KPP”), two of our other subsidiaries, entered into an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement comprised of (a) an aggregate $520.0 million term loan made up of a $436.0 million term loan (“Term Loan A”) to the Borrower and a separate $84.0 million term loan (“Term Loan B”) to the other two subsidiaries (collectively, the “2010 Term Loan”) and (b) a $150.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and, together with the 2010 Term Loan, the “2010 Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the other financial institutions signatory thereto.

The amounts2010 Credit Facility replaced the previously existing $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, as amended (the “2003 Credit Facility”), and a $170.0 million unsecured term loan (the “2008 Term Loan”) that had been scheduled to mature on March 20, 2010. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the description of the 2010 Credit Facility have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2010 Credit Facility.

The initial term of the 2010 Credit Facility is three years, and we have the right to one 12-month extension of the initial maturity date, subject to certain conditions and to the payment of an extension fee of 0.50% of the then outstanding Commitments.

We used the initial proceeds from the 2010 Credit Facility to repay outstanding balances under the 2003 Credit Facility and 2008 Term Loan. At closing, the $520.0 million 2010 Term Loan was fully outstanding and $70.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

Amounts borrowed under our $500.0 millionthe 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate between 0.95%4.00% and 2.00%4.90% per annum, over LIBOR baseddepending on our leverage.leverage, in excess of LIBOR, with no floor. The initial rate in effect was 4.90% per annum in excess of LIBOR. In determining our leverage (the ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value), the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value is 7.50%8.00%. In the determinationThe unused portion of the Company’s Gross Asset Value, when we complete the redevelopment or development of a property and it is Placed in Service, the amount of Construction in Progress of such property included in Gross Asset Value is gradually reduced over a four quarter period.

The availability of funds under the CreditRevolving Facility is subject to a fee of 0.40% per annum.

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix $100.0 million of the underlying LIBOR associated with the 2010 Term Loan at a weighted-average rate of 1.77% for the three-year initial term. An additional $200.0 million of the underlying LIBOR was swapped to a fixed rate at a rate of 0.61% for year one, 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term.

The obligations under Term Loan A are secured by first priority mortgages on 20 of our compliance with financialproperties and other covenantsa second lien on one property, and agreements. In October 2008,the obligations under Term Loan B are secured by first priority leasehold mortgages on the properties ground leased by GLP and KPP (the “Gallery Properties”). The foregoing properties constitute substantially all of our previously unencumbered retail properties.

We and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prevented from doing so serve as guarantors for funds borrowed under the 2010 Credit Facility.

The aggregate amount of the lender Revolving Commitments and 2010 Term Loan under the 2010 Credit Facility was required to be reduced by $33.0 million by March 11, 2011, by a cumulative total of $66.0 million by March 11, 2012 and by a cumulative total of $100.0 million by March 11, 2013 (if we exercised an optionexercise our right to extend the termTermination Date), including all payments (except payments pertaining to the Release Price of a Collateral Property) resulting in permanent reduction of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and 2010 Term Loan. We used $160.7 million of the proceeds from our May 2010 equity offering to repay borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility, to March 2010.satisfying all three of these paydown requirements, and no mandatory paydown provisions remain in effect.

The following are someAs of June 30, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility. We pledged $1.5 million under the Revolving Facility as collateral for letters of credit, and the unused portion of the potential impedimentsRevolving Facility that was available to accessing additional funds under the Credit Facility:

constraining leverage, interest and fixed charge coverage and debt yield covenants under the Credit Facility;

reduction in our net operating income or increased indebtedness affecting leverage ratios.

increased interest rates affecting coverage ratios; and

reduction in our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) affecting coverage ratios.

us was $148.5 million at June 30, 2010. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed from March 11, 2010 to June 30, 2010 was 1.96% for7.56%. The interest rate that would have applied to any outstanding Revolving Facility borrowings as of June 30, 2010 was LIBOR plus 4.90%.

As of June 30, 2010, $413.5 million was outstanding under the three months ended September2010 Term Loan. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed on the 2010 Term Loan was 6.28% from March 11, 2010 to June 30, 2009.2010. The weighted average interest rate on outstandingthe 2010 Term Loan borrowings at June 30, 2010 was 5.55%.

The 2010 Credit Facility borrowingscontains provisions regarding the application of proceeds from a Capital Event. A Capital Event is any event by which we raise additional capital, whether through an asset sale, joint venture, additional secured or unsecured debt, issuance of equity, or from excess proceeds after payment of a Release Price. Capital Events do not include Refinance Events or other specified events. After payment of interest and required distributions, the Remaining Capital Event Proceeds will generally be applied in the following order:

If the Facility Debt Yield is less than 11.00% or the Corporate Debt Yield is less than 10.00%, Remaining Capital Event Proceeds will be allocated 25% to pay down the Revolving Facility (repayments of the Revolving Facility generally may be reborrowed) and 75% to pay down and permanently reduce Term Loan A (or Term Loan B if Term Loan A is repaid in full) or, if the Revolving Facility balance is or would become $0 as a result of such payment, to pay down the Revolving Facility in full and to use any remainder of that 25% to pay down and permanently reduce Term Loan A (or Term Loan B if Term Loan A is repaid in full). So long as the Facility Debt Yield is greater than or equal to 11.00% and the Corporate Debt Yield is greater than or equal to 10.00% and each will remain so immediately after the Capital Event, and so long as either the Facility Debt Yield is less than 12.00% or the Corporate Debt Yield is less than 10.25% and will remain so immediately after the Capital Event, the Remaining Capital Event Proceeds will be allocated 75% to pay down the Revolving Facility and 25% to pay down and permanently reduce Term Loan A (or Term Loan B if Term Loan A is repaid in full) or, if the Revolving Facility balance is or would become $0 as a result of such payment, to pay down the Revolving Facility in full and to use any remainder of that 75% for general corporate purposes. So long as the Facility Debt Yield is greater than or equal to 12.00% and the Corporate Debt Yield is greater than or equal to 10.25% and each will remain so immediately after the Capital Event, Remaining Capital Event Proceeds will be applied 100% to pay down the Revolving Facility, or if the Revolving Facility balance is or would become $0 as a result of such payment, to pay down the Revolving Facility in full and to use any remainder for general corporate purposes. Remaining proceeds from a Capital Event or Refinance Event relating to Cherry Hill Mall will be used to pay down the Revolving Facility and may be reborrowed only to repay our unsecured indebtedness.

The 2010 Credit Facility also contains provisions regarding the application of proceeds from a Refinance Event. A Refinance Event is any event by which we raise additional capital from refinancing of secured debt encumbering an existing asset, not including collateral for the 2010 Credit Facility. The proceeds in excess of the amount required to retire an existing secured debt will be applied, after payment of interest, to pay down the Revolving Facility, or if the Revolving Facility balance is or would become $0 as a result of such payment, to pay down the Revolving Facility in full and to use any remainder for general corporate purposes. Remaining proceeds from a Capital Event or Refinancing Event relating to the Gallery Properties may only be used to pay down and permanently reduce Term Loan B (or, if the outstanding balance on Term Loan B is or would become $0 as a result such payment, to pay down Term Loan B in full and to pay any remainder in accordance with the preceding paragraph).

A Collateral Property will be released as security upon a sale or refinancing, subject to payment of the Release Price and the absence of any default or Event of Default. If, after release of a Collateral Property (and giving pro forma effect thereto), the Facility Debt Yield will be less than 11.00%, the Release Price will be the Minimum Release Price plus an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount that, when paid and applied to the 2010 Term Loan, would result in a Facility Debt Yield equal to 11.00% and (B) the amount by which the greater of (1) 100.0% of net cash proceeds and (2) 90.0% of the gross sales proceeds exceeds the Minimum Release Price. The Minimum Release Price is 110% (120% if, after the Release, there will be fewer than 10 Collateral Properties) multiplied by the proportion that the value of the property to be released bears to the aggregate value of all of the Collateral Properties on the closing date of the 2010 Credit Facility, multiplied by the amount of the then Revolving Commitments plus the aggregate principal amount then outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan. In general, upon release of a Collateral Property, the post-release Facility Debt Yield must be greater than or equal to the pre-release Facility Debt Yield. Release payments must be used to pay down and permanently reduce the amount of the Term Loan.

The 2010 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in facilities of this type, including, without limitation, requirements that we maintain, on a consolidated basis: (1) minimum Tangible Net Worth of not less than $483.1 million, minus non-cash impairment charges with respect to the Properties recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2009, plus 75% of the Net Proceeds of all Equity Issuances effected at any time

after September 30, 2009 was 1.65% (LIBOR plus 1.40%).2009; (2) maximum ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value of 0.75:1; (3) minimum ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.60:1; (4) minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges of 1.35:1; (5) maximum Investments in unimproved real estate and predevelopment costs not in excess of 3.0% of Gross Asset Value; (6) maximum Investments in Persons other than Subsidiaries, Consolidated Affiliates and Unconsolidated Affiliates not in excess of 1.0% of Gross Asset Value; (7) maximum Investments in Indebtedness secured by Mortgages in favor of the Company, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary not in excess of 1.0% of Gross Asset Value on the basis of cost; (8) the aggregate value of the Investments and the other items subject to the preceding clauses (5) through (7) shall not exceed 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (9) maximum Investments in Consolidation Exempt Entities not in excess of 20.0% of Gross Asset Value; (10) a maximum Gross Asset Value attributable to any one Property not in excess of 15.0% of Gross Asset Value; (11) maximum Projects Under Development not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (12) maximum Floating Rate Indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not in excess of one-third of all Indebtedness of the Company, its Subsidiaries, its Consolidated Affiliates and its Unconsolidated Affiliates; (13) minimum Corporate Debt Yield of 9.50%, provided that such Corporate Debt Yield may be less than 9.50% for one period of two consecutive fiscal quarters, but may not be less than 9.25%; and (14) Distributions may not exceed 110% of REIT taxable income for a fiscal year, but if the Corporate Debt Yield exceeds 10.00%, then the aggregate amount of Distributions may not exceed the greater of 75% of FFO and 110% of REIT Taxable Income (unless necessary for the Company to retain its status as a REIT), and if a Facility Debt Yield of 11.00% and a Corporate Debt Yield of 10.00% are achieved and continuing, there are no limits on Distributions under the 2010 Credit Facility, so long as no Default or Event of Default would result from making such Distributions. We are required to maintain our status as a REIT at all times. As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

We may prepay the any borrowings under Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty. We must repay the entire principal amount outstanding under the 2010 Credit Facility at the end of its term. Weterm, as the term may prepay any revolving loan at any time without premium or penalty. Accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Credit Facility is payable monthly, and any unpaid amount is payable at the end of the term. The Credit Facility has a facility fee of 0.15% to 0.25% per annum of the total commitments, depending on our leverage and without regard to usage. The Credit Facility contains lender yield protection provisions related to LIBOR loans. We and certain of our subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations arising under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and requirements customarily found in facilities of this type, as detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and which have not changed since that date. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of these covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Facility require, among other things, that our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, be less than 65%, provided that this leverage ratio can be exceeded for one period of two consecutive quarters, but may not exceed 70%, and that we meet certain other debt yield, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios. Compliance with each of these ratios is dependent upon our financial performance. The leverage ratio is based, in part, on applying a capitalization rate to our net operating income. Based on this calculation method, decreases in net operating income would result in an increased leverage ratio, even if overall debt levels remain constant. The leverage ratio was 66.1% at the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The quarter ended September 30, 2009 was the first quarter that the ratio exceeded 65%. The financial covenants also require that the minimum debt yield ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, be

greater than 9.75%, provided that this ratio can be less than 9.75% for one period of two consecutive quarters, but may not be below 9.25%. The minimum debt yield ratio was 9.74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The quarter ended September 30, 2009 was the first quarter that the ratio was less than 9.75%been extended.

Upon the expiration of any applicable cure period following an event of default, the lenders may declare all of ourthe obligations in connection with the 2010 Credit Facility immediately due and payable, and the commitmentsCommitments of the lenders to make further loans under the 2010 Credit Facility will terminate. Upon the occurrence of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of the Company, PREIT Associates, PRI, any owner of a Collateral Property or any material subsidiary,Material Subsidiary, all outstanding amounts will automatically become immediately due and payable and the commitmentsCommitments of the lenders to make further loans will automatically terminate.

Also in September 2008, we swapped the floating interest rate on $130.0 million of the Term Loan balance to a fixed rate of 5.33%, effective October 1, 2008. In October 2008, we swapped the floating interest rate on the remaining $40.0 million of the Term Loan balance to a fixed rate of 5.15%.

The Exchangeable Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of PREIT Associates and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of PREIT Associates. PREIT Associates’ obligations under the Exchangeable Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Through September 30, 2009 we repurchased $85.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes, and there was $202.4 million outstanding as of September 30, 2009.

DerivativesInterest Rate Derivative Agreements

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, we had a total of 12entered into 11 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement as described in note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements. The interestthat have a weighted average rate swap and cap agreements have an aggregateof 2.41% (excluding the spread on the related debt) on a notional valueamount of $597.5$732.6 million and maturematuring on various dates through November 2013. Additionally, as of June 30, 2010, we had entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that have a weighted average interest rate 2.37% (excluding the spread on the related debt) on a notional amount of $200.0 million maturing on various dates through March 2013.

We entered into these interest rate derivatives in order to hedge the interest payments associated with our 2010 Credit Facility and our issuances of variable interest rate long-term debt. We assessed the effectiveness of these swaps and cap as hedges at inception and on SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 and considered these swaps and cap to be highly effective cash flow hedges. Our interest rate swaps are net settled monthly.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, the aggregate estimated unrealized net loss attributed to these interest rate swapsderivatives was $17.7$27.3 million.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $97.0$62.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to $94.8$76.8 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009. The decrease in cash from operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 is partially attributed to the sale of two operating properties in 2009 (which had contributed $2.3 million in net operating income in the first six months of 2009) and a $7.7 million increase in interest expense. The decrease in cash flows from operating results were also affected by changes in working capital, primarily due to an increase in prepaid expenses, tenants’ deposits and deferred rent in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Cash flows used for investing activities were $116.3$15.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 compared to $260.5$103.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009. Investing activities for 20092010 reflect investment in construction in progress of $122.1$12.9 million and real estate improvements of $15.9$7.2 million, all of which primarily relate to our development and redevelopment activities. Investing activities for 2009 also reflect proceeds of $20.9$6.2 million paid to acquire partnership interests. Cash flows used in investing activities also includes a $10.0 million decrease in the note receivable from the sale of real estate investments.Boscov’s, Inc. Cash flows from investing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 reflect investment in construction in progress of $225.9$95.2 million, and real estate improvements of $23.7 million and real estate acquisitions of $12.7$10.6 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $92.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to cash flows provided by financing activities were $99.8of $47.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2009 compared to $157.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.2009. Cash flows provided byused in financing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 were primarily affected by $70.1the refinancing of the 2003 Credit Facility and the 2008 Term Loan and the May 2010 equity offering. We replaced the $486.0 million ofoutstanding on the 2003 Credit Facility and the $170.0 million 2008 Term Loan with $590.0 million in proceeds from the 2010 Credit Facility. We paid $15.7 million in deferred financing costs in the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily relating to this refinancing. In May 2010, we raised $160.7 million in an equity offering. These proceeds were used as the primary funding source of a $106.5 million paydown of the 2010 Term Loan and a $70.0 million repayment of the Revolving Facility. We also received $32.5 million in proceeds from a $30.0 million mortgage loansloan on New River Valley Center, Pitney Road Plaza, Lycoming Mall and Northeast Tower Center, as well as $85.0an additional $2.5 million in borrowingsdraw from the Credit Facility and $10.1 million of contributions from noncontrolling interest. We used some of these proceeds to repay the $15.7 million mortgage note on Palmer Park Mall and to make a $2.4 million payment on the mortgage loan on One Cherry Hill Plaza.at Lycoming Mall. Cash flows from financing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 were also affected by dividends and distributions of $25.5$15.7 million and principal installments on mortgage notes payable of $12.7 million, and payments of $7.9 million for the repurchase of exchangeable notes.$10.0 million.

Total remaining costs for the particular projects with such commitments are $50.2$21.8 million. We expect to finance these amounts through borrowings under the Revolving Facility or through various other capital sources. See “– “—Liquidity and Capital Resources – Resources—Capital Resources.”

CONTINGENT LIABILITIESENVIRONMENTAL

We are aware of certain environmental matters at some of our properties, including ground water contamination and the presence of asbestos containing materials. We have, in the past, performed remediation of such environmental matters, and we are not aware of any significant remaining potential liability relating to these environmental matters. We may be required in the future to perform testing relating to these matters. WeSubject to certain exclusions, we have environmental liability insurance coverage, which currently covers liability for certain environmental claimspollution and on-site remediation of up to $10.0 million per occurrence and up to $10.0$20.0 million in the aggregate. There can be no assurance that this coverage will be adequate to cover future environmental liabilities. If this environmental coverage were inadequate, we would be obligated to fund those liabilities. We might be unable to continue to obtain insurance for environmental matters, at a reasonable cost or at all, in the future.

COMPETITION AND TENANT CREDIT RISK

Competition in the retail real estate industry is intense. We compete with other public and private retail real estate companies, including companies that own or manage malls, strip centers, power centers, lifestyle centers, strip centers, factory outlet centers, theme/festival centers and community centers, as well as other commercial real estate developers and real estate owners, particularly those with properties near our properties, on the basis of several factors, including location and rent charged and occupancy costs.charged. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor and in-line store tenants. We also compete to acquire land for new site development.development, during more

favorable economic conditions. Our malls and our strip and power centers face competition from similar retail centers, including more recently developed or renovated centers that are near our retail properties. We also face competition from a variety of different retail formats, including internet retailers, discount or value retailers, home shopping networks, mail order operators, catalogs, and telemarketers. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the amount of rent that we receive. Our tenants face competition from companies at the same and other properties and from other retail formats as well.

The development of competing retail properties and the related increased competition for tenants might require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would have deferred or would not have otherwise planned to make assuming that acceptable financing is available, and might also affect the occupancy and net operating income of such properties. Any such redevelopments,capital improvements, undertaken individually or collectively, would be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2010 Credit Facility and involve costs and expenses that could adversely affect our results of operations.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of malls, other retail properties and other prime development sites, including institutional pension funds, other REITs and other owner-operators of retail properties.

Many of our efforts to compete are also subject to the terms and conditions of our 2010 Credit Facility. Given current economic, capital market and retail industry conditions, however, there has been substantially less competition with respect to acquisition activity in recent quarters. When we seek to make acquisitions, these competitors might drive up the price we must pay for properties, parcels, other assets or other companies we seek to acquire, or might themselves succeed in acquiring those properties, parcels, assets or companies. In addition, our potential acquisition targets might find our competitors to be more attractive suitors if they have greater resources, are willing to pay more, or have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger REITs might enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital, a better ability to raise capital, a better ability to finance an acquisition, and enhanced operating efficiencies. We might not succeed in acquiring retail properties or development sites that we seek, or, if we pay a higher pricesprice for properties, a property and/or generate lower cash flow from an acquired property than we expect, our investment returns will be reduced, which will adversely affect the value of our securities.

We receive a substantial portion of our operating income as rent under long-term leases with tenants. As is currently the case, atAt any time, any tenant having space in one or more of our properties could experience a downturn in its business that might weaken its financial condition. These tenants have, and other tenants in the future might, defer or fail to make rental payments when due, delay or canceldefer lease commencement, voluntarily vacate the premises or declare bankruptcy, which has resulted, and might in the future could result, in the termination of the tenant’s lease, and could result in material losses to us and harm to our results of operations. Also, it might take time to terminate leases of underperforming or nonperforming tenants and we might incur costs to remove such tenants. Some of our tenants occupy stores at multiple locations in our portfolio, and so the effect of any bankruptcy of those tenants has and might in the future be more significant to us than the bankruptcy of other tenants. In addition, under many of our leases, our tenants pay rent based on a percentage of their sales. Accordingly, declines in these tenants’ sales hasdirectly and might in the future negatively affect our results of operations. Also, if tenants are unable to comply with the terms of their leases, we have modified, and might in the future modify, lease terms in ways that are less favorable to us.

SEASONALITY

There is seasonality in the retail real estate industry. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of a portion of rent based on a percentage of a tenant’s sales revenue over certain levels. Income from such rent is recorded only after the minimum sales levels have been met. The sales levels are often met in the fourth quarter, during the December holiday season. Also, many new and temporary leases are entered into later in the year in anticipation of the holiday season and there is a higher concentration of tenants vacating their space early in the year. As a result, our occupancy and cash flows are generally higher in the fourth quarter and lower in the first quarter, excluding the effect of ongoing redevelopment projects. Our concentration in the retail sector increases our exposure to seasonality and is expected to continue to result in a greater percentage of our cash flows being received in the fourth quarter.

INFLATION

Inflation can have many effects on theour financial performance of our tenants and us.performance. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of rent based on a percentage of sales, which may increase with inflation. Leases may also provide for tenants to bear all or decrease as a resultportion of inflationary prices and their effect on consumer spending. Also, inflation could cause increases in property operating expenses, which could increase occupancy costs for tenants and, tomay reduce the extentimpact of such increases on us. However, rent increases might not keep up with inflation, or if we are unable to recover property expenses from tenants, could increase propertya smaller proportion of operating expenses, for us. In addition,we might bear more costs if the ratesuch expenses increase because of inflation exceeds the scheduled rate increases included in our leases, then our net operating income and our profitability would decrease.inflation.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, our consolidated debt portfolio consisted primarily of $1,795.6$413.5 million borrowed under our 2010 Term Loan which bore interest at a weighed average rate of 5.55% at June 30, 2010, $136.9 million of Exchangeable Notes, which bear interest at 4.00%, excluding debt discount of $3.7 million, and $1,798.3 million in fixed and variable rate mortgage notes, excluding $3.0loans, including $2.2 million of mortgage debt premium, $485.0 million borrowed under our senior unsecured Credit Facility, which bears interest at a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, $170.0 million borrowed under our Term Loan, of which $130.0 million has been swapped to a fixed interest rate of 5.33% and the remaining $40.0 million has been swapped to a fixed interest rate of 5.15%, and exchangeable notes of $202.4 million, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.00%, excluding debt discount of $7.7 million.premium.

Mortgage notes payable,Twenty-nine mortgage loans, which are secured by 27 of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2017. Fifteen2018. Seventeen of the mortgage notesloans bear interest at a fixed rate, and nineeight of the mortgage notesloans bear interest at variable rates that have been swapped to or capped at a fixed rate. These 24rate, three of the mortgage notesloans bear interest at a variable interest rate, and one mortgage loan that has been partially swapped to a fixed rate and partially bears interest at a variable rate.

The fixed mortgage loan balances, including mortgage loans that have been swapped to a fixed interest rate, have interest rates that range from 4.95% to 7.61% and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.80% at September 30, 2009. We also5.77%. The variable rate mortgage loans have three properties with variable interest rate mortgages that had a weighted average interest rate of 5.81%2.95% (excluding the spread on the related debt). The weighted average interest rate of all consolidated mortgage loans was 5.76% at SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010. Mortgage notes payableloans for properties owned by unconsolidated partnerships are accounted for in “Investments in partnerships, at equity” and “Distributions in excess of partnership investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are not included in the table below.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts of the expected annual maturities and the weighted average interest rates for the principal payments in the specified periods:

Changes in market interest rates have different effects on the fixed and variable portions of our debt portfolio. A change in market interest rates applicable to the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impactsaffects the fair value, but it has no impacteffect on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in market interest rates applicable to the variable portion of the debt portfolio impactsaffects the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impactaffect the fair value. The following sensitivity analysis relatesrelated to the fixed debt portfolio, which includes the effects of theour interest rate swap and caphedging agreements, described below, assumes an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates from their actual SeptemberJune 30, 20092010 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would resulthave resulted in a decrease in the fair valueour net financial instrument position of our debt of $47.3$79.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would resulthave resulted in an increase in the fair valueour net financial instrument position of our debt of $50.2$82.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2009.2010. Based on the variable ratevariable-rate debt included in our debt portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would resulthave resulted in an additional $5.0$1.5 million in interest annually, and aannually. A 100 basis point decrease would reducehave reduced interest incurred by $5.0$1.5 million annually.

To manage interest rate risk and limit overall interest cost, we may employ interest rate swaps, options, forwards, caps and floors or a combination thereof, depending on the underlying exposure. Interest rate differentials that arise

under swap and cap contracts are recognized in interest expense over the life of the contracts. If interest rates rise, the resulting cost of funds is expected to be lower than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics were issued directly. Conversely, if interest rates fall, the resulting costs would be expected to be higher. We may also employ forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and recognized in net income in the same period that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated. See note 9 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We are committed to providing accurate and timely disclosure in satisfaction of our SEC reporting obligations. In 2002, we established a Disclosure Committee to formalize our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2009,2010, and have concluded as follows:

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accuratelywithin the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and on a timely basis.forms.

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the normal course of business, we have become and might in the future become involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operation of our properties and the properties that we manage for third parties. In management’s opinion, the resolution of any such pending legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, which are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as well as the following:

We might not be able to replace or extend our Credit Facility when it matures in March 2010.

Our Credit Facility has a term that expires March 20, 2010. We also have a $170.0 million Term Loan that expires on March 20, 2010. We have agreed upon a non-binding term sheet with the lead bank in the Credit Facility and the Term Loan. The term sheet is subject to review and approval by the members of the Credit Facility bank group, which might or might not be obtained, or which might only be obtained following changes to the term sheet. Even if a term sheet is accepted by all of the members of the bank group, we may or may not be successful in negotiating satisfactory definitive documents. If, because of our substantial indebtedness, the level of our cash flows, lenders’ perceptions of our creditworthiness, or for other reasons, we are unable to renew, replace or extend our Credit Facility and Term Loan, or arrange for alternative financing, we might be required to dispose of one or more assets on unfavorable terms, further reduce or eliminate future cash dividends, or take other, more severe actions.

The covenants in our Credit Facility might adversely affect us.

Our $500.0 million Credit Facility requires us to satisfy certain affirmative and negative covenants and to meet numerous financial tests. Our Term Loan contains identical covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Facility require, among other things, that our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, be less than 65%, provided that this leverage ratio can be exceeded for one period of two consecutive quarters, but may not exceed 70%, and that we meet certain other debt yield, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios. Compliance with each of these ratios is dependent upon our financial performance. The leverage ratio is based, in part, on applying a capitalization rate to our net operating income. Based on this calculation method, decreases in net operating income would result in an increased leverage ratio, even if overall debt levels remain constant. The leverage ratio was 66.1% at the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The quarter ended September 30, 2009 was the first quarter that the ratio exceeded 65%. The financial covenants also require that the minimum debt yield ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, be greater than 9.75%, provided that this ratio can be less than 9.75% for one period of two consecutive quarters, but may not be below 9.25%. The minimum debt yield ratio was less than 9.75%, but was not less than 9.25% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The quarter ended September 30, 2009 was the first quarter that the ratio was less than 9.75%.
