Exhibit 99.1
THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
The following is unaudited consolidated financial information for our subsidiary, The Rouse Company L.L.C. (“TRCLLC”), as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
TRCLLC (also, the “Successor”, “we” or “us”) is a Delaware limited liability company, formed on November 9, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) through voluntary conversion of The Rouse Company Limited Partnership (“TRCLP” or the “Predecessor”) into a limited liability company. TRCLLC is a subsidiary of General Growth Properties, Inc. (“GGP” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, formerly known as New GGP, Inc., which was organized in July 2010 and is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a “REIT”.
Reorganization under Chapter 11 and the Plan
GGP and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including TRCLP and certain of its subsidiaries, had filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Chapter 11”) in the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on April 16, 2009 (the “Petition Date”) and emerged from bankruptcy, pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) on November 9, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) as described below. On April 22, 2009, certain additional domestic subsidiaries (collectively with the subsidiaries filing on the Petition Date and the Predecessor, the “Debtors”) of the Predecessor also filed voluntary petitions for relief in the Bankruptcy Court (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”).
On August 17, 2010, GGP filed with the Bankruptcy Court its third amended and restated disclosure statement and the plan of reorganization, supplemented on September 30, 2010 and October 21, 2010 for the remaining Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. Prior to the Effective Date, approximately 262 Debtors had emerged from bankruptcy during 2010 and 2009. On October 21, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Predecessor merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GGP, Inc. and New GGP, Inc. was renamed General Growth Properties, Inc. Also pursuant to the Plan, prepetition creditor claims were satisfied in full and equity holders received newly issued common stock in New GGP, Inc. and in The Howard Hughes Corporation, a newly formed real estate company (“HHC”).
The Plan was based on the agreements (collectively, as amended and restated, the “Investment Agreements”) with REP Investments LLC, an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (the “Brookfield Investor”), an affiliate of Fairholme Funds, Inc. (“Fairholme”) and an affiliate of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square” and together with the Brookfield Investor and Fairholme, the “Plan Sponsors”), pursuant to which the Predecessor would be divided into two companies, New GGP, Inc. and HHC, and the Plan Sponsors would invest in the Company’s standalone emergence plan. In addition, the Predecessor entered into an investment agreement with Teachers Retirement System of Texas (“Texas Teachers”). The Plan Sponsors also entered into an agreement with affiliates of the Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”) whereby Blackstone subscribed for equity in New GGP and HHC.
The structure of the Plan Sponsors’ investments triggered the application of the acquisition method of accounting, as the Plan and the consummation of the Investment Agreements and the Texas Teachers investment agreement constituted a ‘‘transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses’’ or a ‘‘business combination’’ requiring such application. New GGP, Inc. was the acquirer that obtained control as it obtained all of the common stock of the Predecessor (a business for purposes of applying the acquisition method of accounting) in exchange for issuing its stock to the Predecessor common stockholders on a one-for-one basis (excluding fractional shares). As TRCLLC is a subsidiary of GGP, the effects of the acquisition method of accounting have been applied to the assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Balance Sheet of TRCLLC as of the Effective Date. In addition, the Successor’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statement of Capital for the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect the revaluation of TRCLLC assets and liabilities to Fair Value to present the impacts of acquisition accounting as of the Effective Date.
THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
Pursuant to the Plan, prior to the Effective Date, TRCLP distributed the HHC Properties it indirectly owned to GGP to facilitate the HHC distribution described above. In addition, TRCLP distributed various operating properties including a private REIT that owned a noncontrolling interest in GGPLP L.L.C. to GGP. The operations of these properties have been reported in the Predecessor periods as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Prior to the Effective Date, through a series of transactions, properties owned by GGP were contributed to TRCLP. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) guidance established for mergers involving affiliates under common control, the financial statements of the Predecessor have been recast to include the results of these properties for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interests.
On June 1, 2011, through a series of transactions, additional properties owned by GGP were contributed to TRCLLC. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) guidance established for mergers involving affiliates under common control, the financial statements of the Predecessor and Successor have been recast to include the results of these properties for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interests.
On June 1, 2011, TRCLLC distributed various operating properties to GGP. The operations of these properties have been reported in the Predecessor and Successor periods as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Claims resolution process
As permitted under the bankruptcy process, the Debtors’ creditors filed proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court. Through the claims resolution process, the Company identified many claims which were disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court for a number of reasons, such as claims that were duplicative, amended or superseded by later filed claims, were without merit, or were otherwise overstated. Throughout the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company resolved many claims through settlement or objections ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company will continue to settle claims and file additional objections with the Bankruptcy Court.
Although as of the Effective Date all Debtors have emerged from bankruptcy, certain differences between liability amounts estimated by the Debtors and claims submitted by creditors have not yet been resolved and may be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court which will make a final determination of the allowable claim. The various plans of reorganization of the Debtors provide that all allowed claims, that is, undisputed or Bankruptcy Court affirmed claims of creditors against the Debtors, are to be paid in full. Our aggregate liabilities include provisions for claims against Debtors that were timely submitted to the Bankruptcy Court and have been recorded, as appropriate, based upon the accounting guidance for the recognition of contingent liabilities and on our evaluations of such claims.
GGP has accrued an estimate of these claims based upon the best available evidence of amounts to be paid. However, the claims resolution process is uncertain and adjustments to claims estimates could result in adjustments to our financial statements in future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TRCLLC, its subsidiaries and joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the noncontrolling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the joint ventures (generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage) is included in noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate affiliates as a permanent element of capital. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The results for the interim period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to Fair Values of assets and liabilities for purposes of applying the acquisition method of accounting, the useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred taxes, initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to acquisitions, and impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of TRCLLC’s financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 have not changed during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF TRCLLC OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Revenues
Tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries, and overage rents) decreased by $7.9 million in the first six months of 2011 as compared to the first six months of 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in amortization expense related to above and below market lease due to the application of acquisition accounting in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by $50.9 million primarily due to a $52.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization of the step-up in basis of our assets due to the application of acquisition accounting in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by a $2.5 million reduction in provisions for doubtful accounts.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $38.8 million as compared to the first six months of 2010 primarily due to a $12.6 million decrease in bond interest expense relating to the pay down of $595.0 million of bond principal on the Effective Date and a $19.6 million decrease in market rate amortization.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates
The decrease in equity in income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization of the step-up in basis of our investment in and loans to / from Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates due to the application of acquisition accounting in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, the decrease is partially due to our investment in the Brazilian joint venture, Aliansce Shopping Centers S.A. (“Aliansce”), in which we recorded a $15.3 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of Aliansce’s initial public offering of its common shares on the Brazilian Stock Exchange.

Reorganization Items
Reorganization items are expense or income items that were incurred or realized by the Debtors as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income of the Predecessor. Reorganization items include legal fees, professional fees and similar types of expenses, resulting from activities of the reorganization process, gains on liabilities subject to compromise directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases, and interest earned on cash accumulated by the Debtors as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.
However, this amount primarily reflects only gains or losses resulting from activities of the reorganization process, and the gains resulting from agreements reached with certain critical vendors, all of which were specifically identifiable with individual properties. Trustee fees were paid by individual debtors. Any other allocations of costs have not been made to individual debtors as all other costs were subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.
Cash position and liquidity at June 30, 2011
TRCLLC’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $446.0 million to $457.6 million as of June 30, 2011. The cash position of TRCLLC is largely determined at any point in time by the relative short-term demands for cash by TRCLLC and GGP.
