NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 believeswe believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. TheOur 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 for the year ended December 31, 2009.2010. In management’sour opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly theour consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries and the consolidated results of itsour operations and itsour 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 March 31, 2010, the Company’s2011, our portfolio consisted of a total of 5449 properties in 13 states, including 38 shopping malls, 13eight 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.”

The Company holds itsWe hold our interest in itsour portfolio of properties through itsour operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates” or the “Operating Partnership”). The Company isWe are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2010, the Company2011, we held a 95.1%96.0% interest in the Operating Partnership, and consolidatesconsolidated 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 theour election, of the Company, the Companywe may acquire such OP Units in exchange for our common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, in some cases beginning one year following the respective issue date of the OP Units and in other cases immediately. In the event of the redemption ofthat all of the outstanding OP Units held by limited partners were redeemed for cash, the total amount that would have been distributed as of March 31, 20102011 would have been $29.0$33.2 million, in cash or equivalent value of shares of PREIT, which is calculated using the Company’sour March 31, 20102011 closing share price on the New York Stock Exchange of $12.47$14.27 multiplied by the number of outstanding OP Units held by limited partners.partners, which was 2,329,118 as of March 31, 2011.

The Company provides itsWe provide management, leasing and real estate development services through two companies: PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that the Company consolidateswe consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that the Company doeswe do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties owned by partnerships in which the Company ownswe own an interest and properties that are owned by third parties in which the Company doeswe do not have an interest. PREIT Services and PRI are consolidated. PRI 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 the Company’sour continuing qualification as a REIT under federal tax law.

Current Economic Downturn, Challenging Capital Market Conditions,We evaluate operating results and allocate resources on a property-by-property basis, and do not distinguish or evaluate consolidated operations on a geographic basis. We do not have any significant revenue or asset concentrations, and thus the Company’s Leverage and Near Term Capital Needs

The downturn inindividual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to the overall economynature of our properties and the disruptions in the financial markets have reduced consumer confidencenature of our tenants and negatively affected employment and consumer spending on retail goods. As a result, the sales and profit performance of retailers in general has

decreased, sales at the Company’s properties in particular have decreased, and the Company has experienced delays or deferred decisions regarding the openings of new retail stores and of lease renewals. The Company is adjusting its plans and actions to take into account the difficult current environment.

In addition, credit markets have experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions. These circumstances have materially affected liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the limited availability or unavailability of certain types of debt financing.

The difficult conditions in the market for debt capital and commercial mortgage loans, including the commercial mortgage backed securities market, and the downturn in the general economy and its effect on retail sales,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 our properties are located outside the Company’s significant leverage resulting from the use of debt to fund its redevelopment program and other development activity, have combined to necessitate that the Company vary its approach to obtaining, using and recycling capital. The Company intends to consider all of its available options for accessing the capital markets, given its position and constraints.United States.

The amounts remaining to be invested in the last phases of the Company’s current redevelopment projects are significantly less than in 2009, and the Company believes it has access to sufficient capital to fund these remaining amounts.

The Company is contemplating ways to reduce its leverage through a variety of means available to it, and subject to and in accordance with the terms of its Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “2010 Credit Facility”). These steps might include obtaining equity capital, including through the issuance of equity securities if market conditions are favorable, through joint ventures or other partnerships or arrangements involving the contribution of assets with institutional 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 other actions.

Fair Value

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, aaccounting applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value measurement isunder existing accounting pronouncements.

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, these accounting requirements establish 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 haswe have 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 maymight 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, whichand 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’sOur assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company utilizesWe utilize the fair value hierarchy in itsour accounting for derivatives (level(Level 2), and financial instruments (level 3)(Level 2) and in itsour reviews for impairment reviews of real estate assets (level(Level 3) and goodwill (level(Level 3).

New Accounting for Transfers of Financial AssetsDevelopments

On January 1, 2010, the Company adoptedThe Financial Accounting Standards Board has proposed new accounting requirements relatingpronouncements related to fair value accounting for transfers oflong lived assets, including real estate, and to lease accounting. These pronouncements, if adopted, could have a significant effect on our financial assets.statements. The recognition and measurement provisionseffective dates of these newpossible accounting requirementspronouncement changes, if any, are applied to transfers that occur on or after January 1, 2010.

Variable Interest Entities

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted new accounting requirements relating to variable interest entities. These new accounting requirements amend the existing accounting 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. The adoption of these new accounting requirements did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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. Other 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. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are charged to expense when it is probable that the property will not be acquired.

The Company capitalizes salaries, commissions and benefits related to time spent by leasing and legal department personnel involved in originating leases with third-party tenants.

Mortgage Loan Activity

In January 2010, the partnership that owns Springfield Park in Springfield, Pennsylvania repaid a mortgage loan with a balance of $2.8 million. The Company’s share of the mortgage loan payment was $1.4 million. The Company owns a 50% interest in this partnership.

In April 2010, the partnerships that own Springfield Park and Springfield East, in Springfield, Pennsylvania, entered into a $10.0 million mortgage loan that is secured by Springfield Park and Springfield East. The Company owns a 50% interest in both entities. The mortgage loan has an initial term of five years and can be extended for an additional five-year term under prescribed conditions. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.80%, and has been swapped to a fixed rate of 5.39%.

Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

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 an evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

5.4. FINANCING ACTIVITY

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, of the Company, entered into an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement comprised of a)(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)(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.

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

March 31, 2010

The 2010 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 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), the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value is 8.00%. The unused portion of the Revolving Facility is subject to a fee of 0.40% per annum.

The obligations under Term Loan A are secured by first priority mortgages on 20 of the Company’s properties and a second lien on one property, and 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.

PREIT and certain of its 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 is 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 the Company exercises its right to extend the Termination 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.

As of March 31, 2010, $70.0 million was2011, there were no amounts outstanding under theour Revolving Facility. The Company hadWe pledged $1.5$0.6 million under the Revolving Facility as collateral for letters of credit, and the unused portion of theour Revolving Facility that was available to the Companyus was $78.5$149.4 million as ofat March 31, 2010.2011. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed under the Revolving Facility from March 11, 2010that would have applied to March 31, 2010 was 5.51%. The weighted average interest rate onany outstanding Revolving Facility borrowings as of March 31, 2011 was LIBOR plus 4.90%. Deferred financing fee amortization associated with the Revolving Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 5.15%.$0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2010, $520.02011, $347.2 million was outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed onunder the 2010 Term Loan was 5.85% for the time the 2010 Term Loan was outstanding from March 11, 2010 tothree months ended March 31, 2010. The weighted average interest rate on the 2010 Term Loan borrowings as of March 31, 20102011 was 5.15%.

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 three-year initial term. An additional $200.0 million of the underlying LIBOR was swapped to fixed 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 2010 Credit Facility contains provisions regarding the application of proceeds from a Capital Event. A Capital Event is any event by which the Borrower raises 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)6.51%. 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 the Company’s 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 the Company raises 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 appliedInterest expense related to the 2010 Term Loan, would result in a Facility Debt Yield equal to 11.00%which was originated on March 11, 2010, was $5.1 million and (B)$1.6 million, respectively, for the amount by which the greaterthree months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, excluding non-cash amortization of (1) 100.0%deferred financing fees of net cash proceeds$0.6 million 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.$0.2 million, respectively.

The 2010 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants of the type customarily found in facilities of this type, including, without limitation, requirements that the Company 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; (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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cashrespectively) and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, accrued expenses, other liabilities and the Revolving Facility approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The majority of the Company’s variable-rate debt is subject to interest rate swaps that have effectively fixed the interest rates on the underlying debt. The estimated fair value of fixed-rate debt, which is calculated for disclosure purposes, is based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for fixed-rate mortgage loans and corporate notes payable with similar terms and maturities.

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt and the credit spreads over variable market rates on its variable rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates and by reviewing recent market transactions or credit spreads consistent with the maturity of the debt obligation with similar credit features. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions and maturity.

The estimated fair values of mortgage loans based on year-end interest rates and market conditions at March 31, 20102011 and December 31, 2009 are2010 were as follows:

Fair Value

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’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.

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 March 31, 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.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.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 REITsreal 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. Our portfolio currently consists of a total of 5449 properties in 13 states, including 38 shoppingenclosed malls, 13eight strip and power centers and three 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 March 31, 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.properties. The operating retail properties have a total of approximately 34.733.2 million square feet. The operating retail properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes have a total of approximately 30.128.7 million square feet, of which we own approximately 23.923.0 million square feet. The operating retail properties that are owned by unconsolidated partnerships with third parties have a total of approximately 4.64.5 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.”

Our primary business is owning and operating retail shopping malls, which we primarily do through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates”). We provide management, leasing and stripreal estate development services through PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and power centers. manages properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties 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. PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means that it is able to offer additional services to tenants without jeopardizing our continuing qualification as a REIT under federal tax law.

Our strategic initiatives include maintaining a leading positionrevenue consists primarily of fixed rental income, additional rent in the Philadelphia metropolitan trade area (where we believeform of expense reimbursements, and percentage rent (rent that is based on a percentage of our ownership interesttenants’ sales or a percentage of sales in approximately 40%excess of mall gross leasable areathresholds that are specified in the Philadelphia metropolitan area provides us with opportunitiesleases) 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.

Net loss for leasing leverage), promoting our mall locations as retail hubsthe three months ended March 31, 2011 was $14.9 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $18.5 million. Our March 31, 2011 results of operations were primarily affected by a decrease in their trade areasdepreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a decrease in stable or growing markets, 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.net operating income.

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 consolidatedWe do not have any significant revenue or assets,asset concentrations, 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”).Associates. We are the sole general partner of PREIT Associates and, as of March 31, 2010,2011, held a 95.1%96.0% controlling interest in PREIT Associates. We consolidate PREIT Associates for financial reporting purposes. We hold our investments in seven of the 5146 retail properties and one of the three development properties in our portfolio through unconsolidated partnerships with third parties in which we own a 40% to 50% interest. We hold a non-controllingnoncontrolling 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 other 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 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 statementstatements 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 statementstatements of operations items arising from these properties appear in “Equity in income of partnerships.”

For further information regarding our unconsolidated partnerships, see note 43 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

We provide our management, leasing and real estate development services through PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties 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. PRI 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 continuing qualification as 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.

Our net loss increased by $7.0 million to a net loss of $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from a net loss of $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in the loss was affected by increased depreciation and amortization and interest expense as a result of development and redevelopment assets having been placed in service, and increased interest expense as a result of a higher aggregate debt balance compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Current Economic Downturn, Challengingand Capital Market Conditions, Our Leverage and our Near Term Capital Needs

The downturnconditions in the overall economy and the disruptions in the financial markets have reduced business and consumer confidence and negatively affected employment and consumer spending on retail goods. As a result, the sales and profit performance of retailers in general has decreased, sales at many of our properties in particular have decreased, and we have experienced delays or deferred decisions regarding the openings of new retail stores and of lease renewals. We are adjustingcontinue to adjust our plans and actions to take into account the difficult current environment.

In addition, credit markets have experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions. These circumstances have materially affected liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the limited availability or unavailability of certain types of debt financing.

The difficult conditions in the market for debt capital and commercial mortgage loans, including the commercial mortgage backed securities market, and the downturnconditions in the general economy and itstheir effect on retail sales, as well as our significant leverage resulting from use of debt to fund our redevelopment program and other development activity, have combined to necessitate that we vary our approach to obtaining, using and recycling capital. We intend to consider all of our available options for accessing the capital markets, given our position and constraints.

The amountsamount remaining to be invested in the last phase of our current redevelopment program areproject is significantly less than in 2009 and 2010, and we believe that we have access to sufficient capital to fund thesethis remaining amounts.amount.

We are contemplatingcontinue to contemplate ways to reduce our leverage through a variety of means available to us, and subject to and in accordance with the terms of the 2010our Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Facility.Agreement (the “2010 Credit Facility”). These steps might include obtaining additional equity capital, including through the issuance of equity securities if market conditions are favorable, through joint ventures or other partnerships or arrangements involving our contribution of assets with institutional 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 other actions.

Development and Redevelopment

We have reached the last phase in our current redevelopment program. Over the past fivesix years, we have invested approximately $1.0 billion in our portfolio. The current estimated project cost of Voorhees Town Center, our only remaining redevelopment property,project, is $83.0 million, and the amount invested as of March 31, 20102011 was $67.5$75.2 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 properties for tenant allowances, leasehold improvements and other costs.

We are engaged in the development of three mixed use and other projects, although we do not expect to make material investments in these projects in the short term. As of March 31, 2010,2011, we had incurred $77.5$55.3 million of costs (net of impairment charges recorded in prior years) related to these three projects. The 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 governed by the partnership agreement or restricted by the covenants contained in our 2010 Credit Facility, which limit our involvement in such projects.

The following table sets forth the amounts invested as of March 31, 2010 in each development project:

In connection with our remaining redevelopment project at Voorhees Town Center and capital improvement projects at certain of our redevelopment projects,other properties, we have made contractual and other commitments on these projects in the form of tenant allowances, lease termination fees and contracts with general contractors and other professional service providers. As of March 31, 2010,2011, the unaccrued remainder to be paid against these contractual and other commitments was $1.6$6.3 million, which is expected to be financed through ourthe $150.0 million revolving line of credit that is part of the 2010 Credit Facility (the “Revolving Facility”), operating cash flows or through various other capital sources. The projects on which these commitments have been made have total expected remaining costs of $34.0$42.4 million.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no material off-balance sheet items other than the partnerships described in note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and in the “Overview” section above.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

General

PRI provides management, leasing and development services for eight 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 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 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 March 31, 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. We have the option to renew the lease for up to two additional five-year periods at the then-current fair market rate calculated in accordance with the terms of the office lease. In addition, we have the right on one occasion at any time during the seventh lease year (2011) to terminate the office lease upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Effective June 1, 2004, our base rent was $1.4 million per year during the first five years of the office lease and is $1.5 million per year during the second five years.

Tax Protection Agreements

We have agreed to provide tax protection related to our acquisition of Cumberland Mall Associates in 2005 and New Castle Associates in 2003 and 2004 to the prior owners of Cumberland Mall Associates and New Castle Associates, respectively, for a period of eight years following the respective closings. Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin are beneficiaries of these tax protection agreements.

We have also agreed to provide tax protection to Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin, Joseph F. Coradino and two other individuals in connection with taxes arising from any sale of a certain office building during the eight years following the initial closing of a related Contribution Agreement dated January 22, 2008 by and among PREIT, PREIT Associates, certain other PREIT affiliates, Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. (“BCA”), City Line Associates, Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin, Joseph F. Coradino, and two other individuals to acquire all of the partnership interests in BCA.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical Accounting 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 might change in subsequent periods. In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and instrumentsliabilities 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. Management has also considered 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 in determining its estimates and judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may

utilize different estimates, which may impact 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 20102011 and 2009,2010, 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. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. This summary should be read

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Overview

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net loss was affected by 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 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Combined occupancy is calculated by using occupied gross leasable area (“GLA”) for consolidated and unconsolidated properties and dividing by total GLA for consolidated and unconsolidated properties.

As of March 31, 2011, retail portfolio weighted average occupancy, including consolidated and unconsolidated properties, had increased by $4.370 basis points to 90.8% compared to the occupancy as of March 31, 2010. Retail portfolio weighted average occupancy excluding anchors increased by 150 basis points to 87.1% as of March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010. Occupancy increased at 26 of 38 malls and increased or remained unchanged at seven of eight strip and power centers.

Real Estate Revenue

Real estate revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 4%2%, in the three months ended March 31, 20102011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. Real estate revenue increased $0.3 million from one property under development during 2009 that is now placed in service. Real estate revenue from properties that were owned for the entire period from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, (“2010 Same Store Properties”) increased by $4.0 million, primarily due to increasesto:

A decrease of $2.2 million in base rents, which is comprised of minimum rent, straight line rent and rent from tenants that pay a percentage of sales in lieu of minimum rent, $1.4$1.8 million in lease terminationstermination revenue as a result of $1.4 million received from three tenants during 2010 that did not recur; and $0.6

A decrease of $0.5 million in expense reimbursements. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in other revenue. These changes in real estate revenue are explained below in further detail.

Base rent for the 2010 Same Store Properties increased by $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. Base rent at Cherry Hill Mall, The Gallery at Market East and Plymouth Meeting Mall, three of our recently completed redevelopment projects, increased by $1.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, due to increased occupancy from newly opened tenants. Base rent at Monroe Retail Center, a development project that opened in October 2008, increased by $0.2 million due to increased occupancy from tenants that opened new stores. Partially offsetting these increases, base rent at Orlando Fashion Square and Exton Square Mall decreased by $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to increased vacancy and rental concessions.

Lease terminations increased by $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to $1.0 million received from one tenant. Expense reimbursements increased by $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, due to higher reimbursable operating expenses as discussed below under Operating Expenses. At many of our malls, we have continued to recover a lower proportion of common area maintenance and real estate tax expenses than in prior periods. In addition to being affected by store closings, ourexpenses. Our properties are experiencing a trend towards more gross leases (leases that provide that tenants pay a higher baseminimum 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

minimum rent or any contribution toward common area maintenance or real estate tax expenses. In recent years, we have entered into agreements with some tenants experiencing financial difficulties to convert their leases to gross leases or percentage of sales leases, resulting in lower expense reimbursements.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by our redevelopment activities, to tenants experiencing financial difficulties, as well as rental concessions driven by conditions in the economy.

Other revenue decreased by $0.3$0.4 million, primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in marketing revenue. The decrease in marketing revenue was offset by a corresponding decrease in marketing expense. Marketing revenue is generally recognized in tandem with marketing expense.

Interest and other income remained unchanged at $0.7 millionor 1%, in the three months ended March 31, 20102011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $3.2 million, or 7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. Operating expenses increased $0.1 million from one property under development during 2009 that is now placed in service. Operating expenses from 2010 Same Store Properties increased by $3.1 million, primarily due to a $2.1 million increaseincreases in common area maintenance expense, a $0.5 million increase inand real estate taxes, a $0.4 million increase in utility expense and a $0.1 million increase in other operatingtax expenses.

Common area maintenance expenses increased by $2.1 million, primarily due to increases of $1.3 million in snow removal expense, $0.2 million in common area utility expense, $0.2 million in housekeeping expense and $0.2 million in loss prevention expense. Snow removal expenses at our properties located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey increased as a result of two significant snowstorms that affected the Mid-Atlantic states in February 2010. The increases in housekeeping expense and loss prevention expense were due primarily to stipulated annual contractual increases. Real estate tax expense increased by $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to higher tax rates in the jurisdictions where properties are located and increased property assessments at some of our properties.

Utility expense increased by $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, including a $0.5 million increase at four of our Pennsylvania properties where electric rate caps expired on January 1, 2010.

Other operating expenses increased by $0.1 million, including a $0.2 million increase in bad debt expense. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.1 million decrease in marketing expense. The decrease in marketing expense was offset by a corresponding decrease in marketing revenue.

Depreciation and AmortizationNet Operating Income (“NOI”)

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.0 million, or 8%, in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense from 2010 Same Store Properties increased by $3.0 million, primarily due to a higher asset base resulting from capital improvements at our properties, particularly at properties where we have recently completed redevelopments and that are now placed in service. We placed assets with an aggregate basis of $219.8 million in service from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million from one property under development during 2009 that is now placed in service.

General and Administrative Expenses, Abandoned Project Costs, Income Taxes and Other Expenses

General and administrative expenses, abandoned project costs, income taxes and other expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase is primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in professional fees and a $0.3 million increase in other general and administrative expenses, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in compensation expense.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $2.3 million, or 7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase resulted in part from a higher aggregate debt balance. In addition, we placed assets with an aggregate cost basis of $219.8 million in service from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. Interest on these assets was capitalized during construction periods and was expensed during periods after the improvements were placed in service.

Discontinued Operations

We have presented the operating results of Crest Plaza, which was sold in August 2009, and Northeast Towers Center, which was sold in October 2009, as discontinued operations. There were no discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Operating results for Crest Plaza and Northeast Tower Center for the periods presented were as follows:

NET OPERATING INCOME

Net operating incomeNOI (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) minus property operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP)., plus our share of revenue and operating expenses of our partnership investments as described below, and includes real estate revenue and operating expenses from properties included in discontinued operations. 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; norliquidity. It is itnot 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 incomeNOI 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. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to NOI.

Net operating incomeNOI excludes interest and other income, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gains on sales of interests in real estate, gains or sales of non-operating real estate, gains on sales of discontinued operations, gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment losses, abandoned project costs and other expenses.

The following table presents net operating income resultsNOI for the three months ended March 31, 20102011 and 2009.2010. The results are presented using the “proportionate-consolidation method” (a non-GAAP measure), which includespresents our share of the results of our partnership investments in order to provide more detailed information with respect to the revenue and expenses of the aggregate of our wholly owned properties and our share of partnership properties.investments. Under GAAP, we account for our unconsolidated partnership investments under the equity method of accounting. Operating results for retail properties that we owned for the full periods presented (“Same Store”) exclude properties acquired or disposed of during the periods presented:presented. A reconciliation of NOI to net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP appears under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Measures.”

This decrease was primarily due to a lower overall debt balance, partially offset by higher applicable stated interest rates and decreased capitalized interest after assets were placed in service.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.0$6.2 million, or 15%, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to:

a decrease of $6.8 million because certain lease intangibles and tenant improvements at 28 properties purchased during 2003 became fully amortized in 2010; and,

an increase of $0.6 million primarily due to a higher asset base resulting from capital improvements at our properties, particularly at properties where we have completed redevelopments that have been placed in service.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONSFunds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by REITs, 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 Operations is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability in the real estate industry, and weWe use FFO and FFO per diluted share and unit of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership (“OP UnitUnit”) in measuring our performance against our peers and as supplemental non-GAAP measures to compare our Company’sa performance for different periods to that of our industry peers. Similarly, FFO per diluted share and OP Unit is a measure that is useful 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.NOI. 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.

FFO was $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 17%, compared to FFO of $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to:

the sale of five power centers in 2010; and

a decrease in Same Store NOI, including a $1.8 million decrease in lease termination revenue.

FFO per diluted share and OP Unit decreased $0.18 per share to $0.37 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0.55 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The weighted average shares outstanding on March 31, 2011 used to determine FFO per share reflects our issuance of 10,350,000 common shares in a public offering in May 2010.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Measures

The preceding discussions compare our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations results for different periods determined in accordance with GAAP. Also, the non-GAAP measures of NOI and FFO are discussed. We believe that NOI 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. We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net incomeincome/loss 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 $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010,is a decreasecommonly used measure of $3.8 million, or 13%, compared to $29.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.operating performance and profitability among REITs, and we use FFO decreased because of the decrease in net income as a result of higher depreciation and amortization and higher interest expense. FFO per share decreased $0.16 per share to $0.55 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.71 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009, due in part to a higher share count.

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 effectUnit as supplemental non-GAAP measures to compare our performance for different periods to that of common share equivalents.our industry peers.

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, 20092010 filed with the Securities and Exchange 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, and 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 three months ended March 31, 20102011 were $7.0$8.7 million, based on distributions of $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 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 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 or redevelopment projects resulting in lower or delayed real estate revenue and operating income;

increases in interest rates 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.flows; and

increases in interest rates resulting in higher borrowing costs.

We expect 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 and renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through a variety of capital sources, subject to the terms and conditions of our 2010 Credit Facility.

The difficult conditions in the market for debt capital and commercial mortgage loans, including the commercial mortgage backed securities market, and the downturnconditions in the general economy and itstheir effect on retail sales, as well as our significant leverage resulting from debt incurred to fund our redevelopment projectsprogram and other development activity, have combined to necessitate that we vary our approach to obtaining, using and recycling capital. We intend to consider all of our available options for accessing the capital markets, given our position and constraints.

The amounts remaining to be invested in the last phase of our current redevelopment program are significantly less than in 2009, and we believe that we have access to sufficient capital to fund these remaining amounts.

In the past, one avenue available to us to finance our obligations or new business initiatives has been to obtain unsecured debt, based in part on the 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 2220 properties and a second lien on one property. As a result, we have very few remaining assets that we could use to support unsecured debt financing. Our lack of properties in the portfolio that could be used to support unsecured debt might limit our ability to obtain capital in this way.

We are contemplating ways to reduce our leverage through a variety of means available to us, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2010 Credit Facility. These steps might include obtaining equity capital, including through the issuance of equity securities if market conditions are favorable, through joint ventures or other partnerships or arrangements involving our contribution of assets with institutional 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 other actions.

We may useIn March 2009, the SEC declared effective our $1.0 billion universal shelf registration statement. 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 $160.6 million. We used the net proceeds from this offering, plus available working capital, to repay borrowings under our 2010 Credit Facility. Currently, we may use the remaining availability under our shelf registration statement 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, ifor at all.

2010 Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2010, $70.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility. We pledged $1.5 million under the Credit Facility as collateral for letters of credit, and the unused portion of the Revolving Facility that was available to us was $78.5 million at March 31, 2010. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed was 5.51% for the time the facility was outstanding from March 11, 2010 to March 31, 2010. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding Revolving Facility borrowings as of March 31, 2010 was 5.15%.

As of March 31, 2010, $520.0 million was outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan, as defined below. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed on the 2010 Term Loan was 5.85% for the time the 2010 Term Loan was outstanding from March 11, 2010 to March 31, 2010. The weighted average interest rate on the 2010 Term Loan borrowings at March 31, 2010 was 5.15%.

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 fixed at a rate of 0.61% for year one, 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term.

Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (2010(“2010 Credit Facility)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 2010 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 the 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate between 4.00% and 4.90% per annum, depending on our 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 8.00%. The unused portion of the Revolving 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 (which ended on April 1, 2011), 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term. Additionally, $15.7 million of our 2010 Term Loan is subject to a LIBOR cap with a strike rate of 2.50%. This LIBOR cap will mature in April 2012.

The obligations under Term Loan A are secured by first priority mortgages on 2018 of our properties and a second lien on one property, and the obligations under Term Loan B are secured by first priority leasehold mortgages on the two 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 iswas 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 exercise our right to extend the Termination 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.

The We used $160.6 million of the proceeds from our May 2010 equity offering to repay borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility, containssatisfying all three of these paydown requirements, and no mandatory paydown provisions regardingremain in effect, although we may be required to apply a portion of the applicationproceeds 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 securednew debt financing 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%sale to pay down the 2010 Term Loan or any borrowings under the Revolving Facility (repaymentsin accordance with the 2010 Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under our Revolving Facility. We pledged $0.6 million under the Revolving Facility as collateral for letters of credit, and the unused portion of the Revolving Facility generally may be reborrowed) and 75%that was available to pay down and permanently reduce Term Loan A (or Term Loan B if Term Loan A is repaid in full) or, ifus was $149.4 million at March 31, 2011. The interest rate that would have applied to any outstanding Revolving Facility borrowings as of March 31, 2011 was LIBOR plus 4.90%. Deferred financing fee amortization associated with the Revolving Facility balance is or would become $0 as a resultfor the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

As of such payment, to pay downMarch 31, 2011, $347.2 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility in full and to use any remainder of that 25% to pay down and permanently reduce2010 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 forunder the 2010 Credit Facility. The proceeds in excess ofweighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed under 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 reduce2010 Term Loan B (or, iffor 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)three months ended March 31, 2011 was 6.51%.

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 Interest expense related to the 2010 Term Loan, would result in a Facility Debt Yield equal to 11.00%which was originated on March 11, 2010, was $5.1 million and (B)$1.6 million, respectively, for the amount by which the greaterthree months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, excluding non-cash amortization of (1) 100.0%deferred financing fees of net cash proceeds$0.6 million 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.$0.2 million, respectively.

The 2010 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants of the type 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; (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.nature. As of March 31, 2010,2011, we were in compliance with all of these convenants.covenants. We may be required to apply a portion of the proceeds of any asset sales, joint ventures, new debt financings and equity sales to pay down the 2010 Term Loan and/or any borrowings under the Revolving Facility, depending on the level of our facility debt yield under the applicable covenant, in accordance with the terms of the 2010 Credit Facility.

We may prepay any future borrowings under the 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, as the term may have beenbe extended.

Upon the expiration of any applicable cure period following an event of default, the lenders may declare all of the obligations in connection with the 2010 Credit Facility immediately due and payable, and the Commitments 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, all outstanding amounts will automatically become immediately due and payable and the Commitments of the lenders to make further loans will automatically terminate.

Exchangeable Notes

In April 2010, we exercised a six-month extension option on the construction loan on Pitney Road Plaza in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The construction loan had a balance of $4.5 million as of March 31, 2010.

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

As of March 31, 2010,2011, we had entered into 1211 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.44%2.41% (excluding the spread on the related debt) on a notional amount of $752.6$732.6 million maturing on various dates through November 2013. Additionally, as of March 31, 2010,2011, we had entered into two forward-startingforward starting interest rate swap agreements that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.37% (excluding the spread on the related debt) on a notional amount of $200.0 million maturing on various dates through March 2013. One of the forward starting swap agreements became effective on April 1, 2011.

We entered into these interest rate derivativesswap agreements (including the forward starting swap agreements) and cap agreement in order to hedge the interest payments associated with ourthe 2010 Credit Facility and our 2009 and 2008 issuances of floatingvariable interest rate long-term debt. We assessed the effectiveness of these swapsswap agreements and cap agreement as hedges at inception and on a quarterly basis. On March 31, 2010 and2011, we considered these swapsinterest rate swap agreements and cap agreement to be highly effective as cash flow hedges. OurThe interest rate swapsswap agreements and cap agreement are net settled monthly.

As of March 31, 2010,2011, the aggregate estimated unrealized net loss attributed to these interest rate derivatives was $18.0$23.7 million. The carrying amount of the derivative assets is reflected in deferred“Deferred costs and other assets, the associated instrumentsliabilities are reflected in fair value of derivative instruments“Accrued expenses and other liabilities” and the net unrealized loss is reflected in accumulated“Accumulated other comprehensive lossloss” in the accompanying balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2011, 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 $23.7 million. If we had breached any of the default provisions in these agreements as of March 31, 2011, we might have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value (including accrued interest) of $26.2 million. We had not breached any of the provisions as of March 31, 2011.

The 2010 Term Loan has a variable interest rate that is between 4.00% and 4.90% plus LIBOR, depending on our leverage. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix $100.0 million of the underlying LIBOR associated with the term loans2010 Term Loan at a rate of 1.77% (excluding the spread on the related debt) 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 (which ended on April 1, 2011), 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term.term, excluding the spread on the related debt. The swap that was associated with year two became effective on April 1, 2011. Additionally, $15.7 million of our 2010 Term Loan is subject to a LIBOR cap with a strike rate of 2.50%. This LIBOR cap will mature in April 2012.

The Revolving Facility has a variable interest rate that is between 4.00% and 4.90% plus LIBOR, depending on our leverage.

The timing of the payments of these amounts is uncertain. We estimate that such payments will be made in the upcoming year, but situations could arise at these development and redevelopment projects that could delay the settlement of these obligations.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.2010. The decrease in cash from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 20102011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 is attributed2010 was primarily due to the sale of two operating properties in 2009 (which had contributed $1.2 million indecreased net operating income inas the first quarterresult of 2009) and a $2.3$1.8 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 prepaidlease termination revenue and increased common area maintenance expenses tenants’ deposits and deferred rent in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.real estate taxes.

Cash flows used forin investing activities were $3.1$9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 20102011 compared to $60.7cash flows used in investing activities of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.2010. Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflect investment in construction in progress of $7.2 million and real estate improvements of $1.7 million, primarily relating to our ongoing maintenance of our properties. Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflect investment in construction in progress of $9.3 million and real estate improvements of $1.1$2.1 million, all of which primarily relate to our development and redevelopment activities. Investing activities, also reflect $3.3 million paid to acquire partnership interests. Cash flows used in investing activities also includesoffset by a $10.0 million decrease in notes receivable from tenants.

Cash flows from investingused in financing activities were $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflect investment in construction in progress of $53.1 million, and real estate improvements of $4.2 million.

Cash flows provided byfrom financing activities of $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.2011 included dividends and distributions of $8.7 million and principal installments on mortgage loans of $5.2 million. Cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were primarily affected byreflected the refinancing of theour 2003 Credit Facility and the 2008 Term Loan. We replaced the $486.0 million outstanding 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 $14.5 million in deferred financing costs in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily relating to this refinancing. We also received $32.5 million in proceeds from a $30.0 million mortgage loan on New River Valley Mall and an additional $2.5 million draw on the mortgage loan at Lycoming Mall. Cash flows from financing activities forMall in the three months ended March 31, 2010 were also affected by dividends2010.

COMMITMENTS

In connection with our redevelopment projects and distributionscapital improvements at certain other properties, we have made contractual and other commitments in the form of $7.0 milliontenant allowances, lease termination fees and principal installments on mortgage notes payablecontracts with general contractors and other professional service providers. As of $5.0 million.

COMMITMENTS

At March 31, 2010, we had $1.62011, the unaccrued remainder to be paid against these contractual and other commitments was $6.3 million, of unaccrued contractual obligationswhich is expected to complete current development and redevelopment projects. Totalbe financed through our Revolving Facility, operating cash flows or through various other capital sources. The projects on which these commitments have been made have total expected remaining costs for the particular projects with such commitments are $34.0of $42.4 million. We expect to finance these amounts through borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility or through various other capital sources. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources.”

ENVIRONMENTAL

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. Subject to certain exclusions, weWe have environmental liability insurance coverage which currently covers liability for pollution and on-site remediation ofcertain environmental claims up to $10.0 million per occurrence and up to $20.0 million in the aggregate. We cannot assure you 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, 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. 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, 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 and expense reimbursements 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 and might also affect the occupancy and net operating income of such properties. Any such 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 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 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 price for 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. At 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 in the future might defer or fail to make rental payments when due, delay or defer lease commencement, voluntarily vacate the premises or declare bankruptcy, which has resulted, and 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 might 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 directly and 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 our financial 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 a portion of operating expenses, which may reduce the impact of such increases on us. However, rent increases might not keep up with inflation, or if we recover a smaller proportion of property operating expenses, we might bear more costs if such expenses increase because of 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 March 31, 2010,2011 our consolidated debt portfolio consisted primarily of $70.0 million borrowed under our Revolving Facility, which bore interest at a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin at March 31, 2010, $520.0$347.2 million borrowed under our 2010 Term Loan, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.15% at March 31, 2010,5.81%, $136.9 million of Exchangeable Notes, which bear interest at 4.00%, excluding debt discount of $4.2$2.3 million, and $1,804.4$1,738.7 million in fixed and variable rate mortgage loans, including $2.5$1.3 million of mortgage debt premium.

Twenty-nineTwenty-six mortgage loans, which are secured by 2724 of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2017.2020. Seventeen of the mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed rate, nineseven of the mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates that have been swapped to or capped to fixed rates, one mortgage loan bears interest at a fixedvariable rate, and one mortgage loan washas been partially swapped to a fixed rate and partially bears interest at a variable rate.

The fixed-ratefixed mortgage loan balances, including mortgage loans that have been swapped to fixed interest rates, have interest rates that range from 4.75%4.95% to 7.61% and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.81% at March 31, 2010. We also have two properties with2011. The variable interest rate mortgage loans and one mortgage loan that has a partial variable amount that had a weighted average interest rate of 3.63%2.80% (excluding the spread on the related debt) at March 31, 2010.2011. The weighted average interest rate of all consolidated mortgage loans is 5.79%.was 5.80% at March 31, 2011. Mortgage loans for properties owned byour unconsolidated partnershipsproperties 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:

(3)(3)

Includes $300.0 million of the 2010 Term Loan of $300.0 million.Loan. 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% (excluding the spread on the related debt) 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 (which ended on April 1, 2011), 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term.term, excluding the spread on the related debt. The swap that is associated with year two became effective on April 1, 2011.

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 affects the fair value, but it has no effect on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in market interest rates applicable to the variable portion of the debt portfolio affects the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not affect the fair value. The following sensitivity analysis related to the fixed debt portfolio, which includes the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, assumes an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates from their actual March 31, 20102011 levels, with all other variables held constant.

A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in our net financial instrument position of $82.9$42.7 million at March 31, 2010.2011. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in an increase in our net financial instrument position of $86.1$44.7 million at March 31, 2010.2011. Based on the variable-ratevariable rate debt included in our debt portfolio as of March 31, 2010,2011, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an additional $3.1$0.6 million in interest annually. A 100 basis point decrease would have reduced interest incurred by $3.1$0.6 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 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 werewas 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 57 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

We haveAs of March 31, 2011, we had an aggregate $752.6$732.6 million in notional amount of current swap and cap agreements and $200.0 million of forward-starting swap agreements that are expected to settlesettling on various dates through November 2013. We also had an aggregate of $200.0 million in notional amount of forward starting interest rate swap agreements maturing on various dates through March 2013.

Because the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of March 31, 2010,2011, it does not consider changes, exposures or positions which could arise after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss or expense with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the time and interest rates.

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 March 31, 2010,2011, 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 within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and 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.
