GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the Company’s (as defined below) audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (Commission File No. 1-11656), as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our Annual Report have been omitted from this report. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Quarterly Report have the same meanings as in our Annual Report.
General
General Growth Properties, Inc. (“GGP”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a “REIT.” GGP was organized in 1986 and through its subsidiaries and affiliates operates, develops and manages retail and other rental properties, primarily shopping centers, which are located primarily throughout the United States. GGP also has international assets through Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica in which GGP has invested approximately $207.1 million at June 30, 2007. Additionally, GGP develops and sells land for residential, commercial and other uses primarily in large-scale, long-term master planned communities projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas. In these notes, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to GGP and its subsidiaries (the “Company”).
In this report, we refer to our ownership interests in majority-owned or controlled properties as “Consolidated Properties,” to joint ventures in which we own a non-controlling interest as “Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates” and the properties owned by such joint ventures as the “Unconsolidated Properties.” Our “Company Portfolio” includes both our Consolidated Properties and our Unconsolidated Properties.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GGP, our subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of operations (generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage) is included in Minority Interest. 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, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.
Straight-Line Rents Receivable
Straight-line rents receivable, which represent the current net cumulative rents recognized prior to when billed and collectible as provided by the terms of the leases, of approximately $177.0 million as of June 30, 2007 and $159.2 million as of December 31, 2006 are included in Accounts and notes receivable, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 period. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to 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 cost ratios and completion percentages used for land sales. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Diluted EPS excludes anti-dilutive options where the exercise price was higher than the average market price of our common stock and options for which requirements for vesting were not satisfied. Such options totaled approximately 3.8 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 3.8 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 4.2 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and approximately 4.1 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Outstanding Common Units have also been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because there would be no effect on EPS as the minority interests’ share of income would also be added back to net income. Finally, the exchangeable senior notes that were issued in April 2007 (Note 4) are also excluded from EPS because the conditions for exchange were not satisfied as of June 30, 2007.
Transactions With Affiliates
Management and other fee revenues primarily represent management and leasing fees, development fees, financing fees and fees for other ancillary services performed for the benefit of certain of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and for properties owned by third parties. Fees earned from the Unconsolidated Properties totaled approximately $24.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $27.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and approximately $49.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Such fees are recognized as revenue when earned.

The above-market and below-market tenant and ground leases are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accounts payable and accrued expenses as detailed in Note 7.
Amortization/accretion of these intangible assets and liabilities, and similar assets and liabilities from our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates at our share, decreased income (excluding the impact of minority interest and the provision for income taxes) by approximately $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $55.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $31.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and approximately $60.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Future amortization, including our share of such items from Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, is estimated to decrease income (excluding the impact of minority interest and the provision for income taxes) by approximately $110 million in 2007, $90 million in 2008, $60 million in 2009, $40 million in 2010, and $30 million in 2011.

Condensed Financial Information of Individually Significant Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates
Following is summarized financial information for GGP/Homart, Inc. (“GGP/Homart I”), GGP/Homart II L.L.C. (“GGP/Homart II”), GGP-TRS L.L.C. (“GGP-Teachers”) and The Woodlands Land Development Holdings, L.P. (“The Woodlands Partnership”). For financial reporting purposes, each of these joint ventures is considered an individually significant Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliate.
On July 6, 2007, we acquired the fifty percent interest owned by New York State Common Retirement Fund (“NYSCRF”) in the GGP/Homart I portfolio of twenty-two properties pursuant to an election by NYSCRF to exercise its exchange right with respect to its ownership in GGP/Homart I. The approximate $950 million purchase price for NYSCRF’s ownership interest, which we computed pursuant to the GGP/Homart I shareholders agreement, was primarily funded by a $750 million bank loan which, including amortization of the fees, bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The acquisition also includes the assumption of NYSCRF’s share of existing mortgage debt (approximately $1.05 billion). As a result of this transaction, we own 100% of the GGP/Homart I portfolio and subsequently will consolidate the respective operations from the acquisition date.

The weighted-average effective annual interest rate (which includes both the effects of swaps and deferred finance costs) on our mortgages, notes and loans payable was 5.7% at June 30, 2007, 5.82% at December 31, 2006 and 5.78% at June 30, 2006. Such debt has various maturities through 2095 with a weighted-average remaining term of 5.89 years as of June 30, 2007.
Certain properties, including those within the portfolios collateralized by commercial mortgage-backed securities, are subject to financial performance covenants, primarily debt service coverage ratios.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In April 2007, GGPLP completed the sale of $1.55 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.98% Exchangeable Senior Notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning October 15, 2007. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2027 unless previously redeemed by GGPLP, repurchased by GGPLP or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to April 15, 2012, we will not have the right to redeem the Notes, except to preserve our status as a REIT. On or after April 15, 2012, we may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes at any time, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. On each of April 15, 2012, April 15, 2017 and April 15, 2022, holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase the Notes, in whole or in part, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The Notes are exchangeable for GGP common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at our option, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including conditions relating to the market price of our common stock, the trading price of the Notes, the occurrence of certain corporate events and transactions, a call for redemption of the Notes and any failure by us to maintain a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange. We currently intend to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash and any premium in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both.
The initial exchange rate for each $1,000 principal amount of notes is approximately 11.27 shares of GGP common stock, representing an exchange price of approximately $88.72 per share and an exchange premium of 35%, which was based on the closing price of our common stock on April 10, 2007. The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including a reduction in the exchange rate resulting from an increase in our dividend.
We intend to register, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the GGP common stock issuable upon the exchange of the Notes (approximately 17.5 million shares) and agree to maintain the effectiveness of such registration throughout the term of the Notes. In the event of a registration default, we will increase the applicable exchange rate by 3% (approximately 0.5 million shares) until we are no longer in default. As we believe that the likelihood of making such exchange rate adjustment is remote, no amounts reflecting a contingent liability have been accrued.
Proceeds from the offering, net of related fees, were approximately $1.52 billion and were used to repay $850 million of corporate unsecured debt, to repay approximately $400 million on our revolving credit facility, to pay approximately $110 million of dividends, to redeem $60 million of perpetual preferred units and for other general
17

corporate uses. At June 30, 2007 the interest rate on the remaining corporate unsecured debt and the revolving credit facility was 6.57%.
Interest Rate Swaps
To achieve a more desirable balance between fixed and variable-rate debt, we have also entered into certain swap agreements as follows:
2006 Credit | Property | |||||||
Agreement | Specific | |||||||
Total notional amount (in millions) | $ | 200.0 | $ | 195.0 | ||||
Average fixed pay rate | 5.11 | % | 4.78 | % | ||||
Average variable receive rate | LIBOR | LIBOR |
Such swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and are intended to hedge our exposure to future interest payments on the related variable-rate debt.
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $222.4 million as of June 30, 2007. These letters of credit and bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments and construction obligations.
NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES
On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before recognition in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues.
At January 1, 2007, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $135.1 million, of which approximately $69 million would impact our effective tax rate. These unrecognized tax benefits increased our income tax liabilities by $81.9 million, increased goodwill by $27.9 million and cumulatively reduced retained earnings by $54.2 million. As of January 1, 2007, we had accrued interest of approximately $11.9 million related to these unrecognized tax benefits and no penalties. Prior to adoption of FIN 48, we did not treat either interest or penalties related to tax uncertainties as part of income tax expense. With the adoption of FIN 48, we have chosen to change this accounting policy. As a result, we will recognize and report interest and penalties, if necessary, within our provision for income tax expense from January 1, 2007 forward. We recognized potential interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Generally, we are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending December 31, 2003 through 2006 and are open to state taxing authorities for years ending December 31, 2002 through 2006. Several of our taxable REIT subsidiaries are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 2001 through 2005. During the quarter, we changed our recognition and measurement of a position as a result of negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service. GAAP requires that the change in measurement of contingencies as of the November 2004 merger date (approximately $1.3 million) be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. We are unable to determine when the remaining audits will be resolved.
Based on our assessment of the expected outcome of these remaining examinations or examinations that may commence, or as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns will materially change from those recorded at January 1, 2007. A material change in unrecognized tax benefits could have a material effect on our statements of income and comprehensive income. Included in the approximately $135.1 million of unrecognized benefits at January 1, 2007 discussed above is approximately $20 million, which due to the reasons above, could significantly increase or decrease during the next twelve months.
Effective March 31, 2007, through a series of transactions, a private REIT owned by GGPLP was contributed to TRCLP and one of our TRS entities became a qualified REIT subsidiary of that private REIT. This transaction

resulted in approximately a $330 million decrease in our net deferred tax liabilities, an approximate $30 million increase in our current taxes payable and an approximate $300 million income tax benefit related to the properties now owned by that private REIT.

Intrinsic value (in thousands) | $ | 20,825 | $ | 13,871 | ||||||||||||||||||||
The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options as of June 30, 2007 represents the excess of our closing stock price ($52.95) over the exercise price multiplied by the applicable number of shares that may be acquired upon exercise of stock options. The intrinsic value of exercised stock options represents the excess of our stock price at the time the option was exercised over the exercise price and was $39.3 million for options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $10.1 million for options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The weighted-average fair value of stock options as of the grant date was $11.07 for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $7.62 for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Stock options generally vest 20% at the time of the grant and in 20% annual increments thereafter. In February 2007, however, in lieu of awarding options similar in size to prior years to two of our senior executives, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of options held by these executives so that all such options became immediately vested and exercisable. As a result, the vesting of 705,000 options was accelerated and compensation expense of $4.1 million which would have been recognized in 2007 through 2010 was recognized in the first quarter of 2007.

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
We lease land or buildings at certain properties from third parties. The leases generally provide us with a right of first refusal in the event of a proposed sale of the property by the landlord. Rental payments are expensed as incurred and have, to the extent applicable, been straight-lined over the term of the lease. Rental expense, including participation rent and excluding amortization of above and below-market ground leases and straight-line rents, was $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, $2.5

million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
We periodically enter into contingent agreements for the acquisition of properties. Each acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and, in the case of property acquired under development, completion of the project. In conjunction with the acquisition of The Grand Canal Shoppes in 2004, we entered into an agreement (the “Phase II Agreement”) to acquire the multi-level retail space that is planned to be part of The Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada that will be connected to the existing Venetian and the Sands Expo and Convention Center facilities (the “Phase II Acquisition”) and The Grand Canal Shoppes. The Palazzo is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in early 2008. If completed as specified under the terms of the Phase II Agreement, we will purchase the Phase II Acquisition retail space at a price as defined by the Phase II Agreement. Based on current construction plans, progress and estimated rents, we believe the purchase price will be approximately $600 million. The Phase II Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
See Note 5 for our obligations related to FIN 48.
Contingent Stock Agreement
In conjunction with the TRC Merger, we assumed TRC’s obligations under a Contingent Stock Agreement (“CSA”). TRC entered into the CSA in 1996 when it acquired The Hughes Corporation (“Hughes”). This acquisition included various assets, including Summerlin (the “CSA Assets”), a development in our Master Planned Communities segment. We agreed that the TRC Merger would not have a prejudicial effect on the former Hughes owners or their successors (the “Beneficiaries”) with respect to their receipt of securities pursuant to the CSA. We further agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Beneficiaries against losses arising out of any breach by us of these covenants.
Under the CSA, we are required to issue shares of our common stock semi-annually (February and August) to the Beneficiaries. The number of shares to be issued is based on cash flows from the development and/or sale of the CSA Assets and our stock price. We account for the Beneficiaries’ share of earnings from the CSA Assets as an operating expense. We delivered 699,000 shares of our common stock (including 147,000 treasury shares) to the Beneficiaries in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 756,000 (including 668,000 treasury shares) in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
We are also required to make a final distribution to the Beneficiaries in 2009. The amount of this distribution will be based on the appraised values of the CSA Assets and is expected to be significant. We will account for this distribution as additional investments in the related assets (that is, contingent consideration).
Hurricane Damages
In September 2005, two of our operating retail properties in Louisiana incurred hurricane and/or vandalism damage. Riverwalk Marketplace, which is located near the convention center in downtown New Orleans, partially reopened in November 2005. Though now fully open, occupancy and traffic levels continue to be below pre-hurricane levels. Oakwood Center, located in Gretna, Louisiana, is currently scheduled to reopen on October 19, 2007. We have comprehensive insurance coverage for both property damage and business interruption and, therefore, have recorded insurance recovery receivables for both of these coverages.
In June 2007 as part of a final settlement, we negotiated an additional payment of $13.5 million with our insurance carrier for all outstanding claims related to Riverwalk Marketplace, including property damage and business interruption. As a result of the settlement, the proceeds from the additional payment (collected on July 5, 2007) were first applied against the Riverwalk Marketplace insurance recovery receivable (approximately $1.9 million) and the remainder was recognized as business interruption, of which approximately $6.8 million is included as minimum rent and approximately $4.8 million is included as a reduction to provision for doubtful accounts in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
The net book value of the property damage at Oakwood Center is currently estimated to be approximately $34.2 million. However, we continue to assess the damage estimates and are having ongoing discussions with our insurance carriers regarding the scope of repair, cleaning, and replacement required. The actual net book value write-off could vary from this estimate. Changes to these estimates have been, and will be, recorded in the periods in which they are determined.
We believe it is probable that insurance proceeds will be sufficient to cover the cost of restoring the property damage and certain business interruption amounts at Oakwood Center; however, certain deductibles, limitations and exclusions are expected to apply with respect to both current and future matters. No determination has yet been
22

made as to the total amount or timing of insurance payments. As of June 30, 2007, however, an aggregate of $29.3 million in insurance proceeds related to property damage and business interruption have been received for Oakwood Center, of which $25 million was received as final settlement with one of our insurance carriers. These proceeds have been applied against insurance recovery receivables, which have primarily been for property damage incurred. Although it is likely that certain of the amounts collected in such final settlement constitutes payment of a portion of our business interruption claims, GAAP precludes any revenue recognition until final settlement with our remaining insurance carriers or cumulative non-refundable payments exceed property operating expense reimbursements previously recognized. In addition, as certain disputes currently exist or may occur in the future with certain of our insurance carriers, we have initiated litigation to preserve our rights concerning our claims. Finally, as of June 30, 2007, the majority of the remaining Oakwood Center insurance recovery receivable represents the recovery of the net book value of fixed assets that have been written off.
NOTE 9 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact of EITF 06-11 on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”) which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. With certain limitations, early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this new statement on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also requires expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” (“SFAS 150”) which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. The effective date of SFAS 150 relating to measurement and classification provisions has been indefinitely postponed by the FASB. We did not enter into new financial instruments subsequent to May 2003 which would fall within the scope of this statement. Though we have certain limited life ventures that appear to meet the criteria for liability recognition, we do not believe that the adoption of the currently postponed provisions of SFAS No. 150, if required, will have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 10 SEGMENTS
We have two business segments which offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies or management expertise. We do not distinguish or group our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. Further, all material operations are within the United States and no customer or tenant comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. Our reportable segments are as follows:
23
Table of Contents
GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
• | Retail and Other — includes the operation, development and management of retail and other rental property, primarily shopping centers | ||
• | Master Planned Communities — includes the development and sale of land, primarily in large-scale, long-term community development projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas |
The operating measure used to assess operating results for the business segments is Real Estate Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) which represents the operating revenues of the properties less property operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Management believes that NOI provides useful information about a property’s operating performance.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company, except that we report unconsolidated real estate ventures using the proportionate share method rather than the equity method. Under the proportionate share method, our share of the revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties are combined with the revenues and expenses of the Consolidated Properties. Under the equity method, our share of the net revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties are reported as a single line item, “Equity in income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates,” in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. This difference affects only the reported revenues and operating expenses of the segments and has no effect on our reported net earnings. In addition, other revenues include the NOI of discontinued operations and is reduced by the NOI attributable to our minority interest partners in consolidated joint ventures.
The total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets for the Master Planned Communities segment is reflected as Land development and acquisitions expenditures in the cash provided by operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Similarly, expenditures for long-lived assets for the Retail and Other segment is reflected in Acquisition/development of real estate and property additions/improvements in the cash flows from investing activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All references to numbered Notes are to specific footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report and which descriptions are incorporated into the applicable response by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) have the same meanings as in such Notes or in our Annual Report.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
We may make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report, in other reports that we file with the SEC and in other information that we release publicly or provide to investors. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others.
Forward-looking statements include:
• | Projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Core FFO, capital expenditures, income tax liabilities, dividends, leverage, capital structure or other financial items | |
• | Descriptions of plans or objectives of our management for future operations, including pending acquisitions, debt repayment or restructuring, and development/redevelopment activities | |
• | Forecasts of our future economic performance | |
• | Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing |
In this Quarterly Report, for example, we make forward-looking statements discussing our expectations about:
• | Future development spending | |
• | Expected sales in our Master Planned Communities segment |

Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements often include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. They give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we disclaim any obligation to update them except as required by law.
There are several factors, many beyond our control, which could cause results to differ materially from our expectations. Some of these factors are described in our Annual Report, which factors are incorporated herein by reference. Any factor could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. There are also other factors that we have not described in this Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report that could cause results to differ from our expectations.
Overview
Our primary business is acquiring, owning, managing, leasing and developing retail rental property, primarily shopping centers. The majority of our properties are located in the United States, but we also have retail operations and property management activities, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in Brazil and Turkey. Our Master Planned Communities segment includes the development and sale of residential and commercial land, primarily in large-scale projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Houston, Texas; and Summerlin, Nevada.
Net income for the three months ended June 30 was $8.4 million in 2007 as compared to a loss of $25.8 million in 2006. A $38.4 million increase in our Retail and Other segment revenues was partially offset by lower NOI in our Master Planned Communities segment.
Retail operating metrics continued to show signs of strength. Sales per square foot (on a trailing twelve month basis) increased 2.2% over the second quarter of 2006 to $458. Occupancy in our Retail Company Portfolio increased to 92.9% at June 30, 2007, compared to 91.2% at June 30, 2006.
In our Master Planned Community segment, the sales pace of land for standard residential lots has declined in recent months. We expect this trend to continue until the housing market stabilizes and national home builders resume capital investments. Although sales have declined for standard residential lots, custom home lots continue to sell in Summerlin due to the limited availability of land suitable to such custom lots combined with the desirability of living in the Summerlin community.
Effective January 1, 2007, Rouse Property Management, Inc., a taxable REIT subsidiary of TRCLP, was merged into GGMI, a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) of GGPLP. The transfer combines substantially all of our domestic management activities into a single TRS, but is not expected to have a significant impact on our results of operations.
We also restructured an additional TRS effective March 31, 2007. Through a series of transactions, a private REIT owned by GGPLP was contributed to TRCLP and that additional TRS became a qualified REIT subsidiary of that private REIT. This transaction resulted in approximately a $330 million decrease in our net deferred tax liabilities, an approximate $30 million increase in our current taxes payable and an approximate $300 million income tax benefit related to the properties now owned by that private REIT.
Acquisition activity was not significant during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and included primarily the acquisition of minority ownership interest in two operating properties for a purchase price of approximately $13 million, four former Mervyn’s department stores for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18 million, and approximately $72 million in additional investment in our Brazilian joint venture.
Development activity remained strong in the quarter. As of June 30, 2007, we had eight redevelopment projects under construction each with budgeted projected expenditures in excess of $25 million, 16 new development projects under construction and ten additional planned developments. Developments in Progress per our consolidated balance sheet, plus our share of Unconsolidated Properties, was approximately $1.3 billion at June 30, 2007. Future approved development spending is approximately $1.8 billion and is expected to be expended between 2007 and 2010.
28
Table of Contents
GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
The acquisition of the fifty percent interest of the GGP/Homart I portfolio (Note 3) is expected to have an approximately neutral impact on future earnings as the increased net income from the additional ownership in the properties is expected to be offset by a reduction of fees for development, asset management and leasing in addition to an increase in interest expense related to the additional debt obtained for the acquisition.
Seasonality
Although we have a year-long temporary leasing program, occupancies for short-term tenants and, therefore, rental income recognized, are higher during the second half of the year. In addition, the majority of our tenants have December or January lease years for purposes of calculating annual overage rent amounts. Accordingly, overage rent thresholds are most commonly achieved in the fourth quarter. As a result, revenue production is generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies as discussed in our Annual Report have not changed during 2007 and such policies are incorporated herein by reference.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
We have presented the following discussion of our results of operations on a segment basis under the proportionate share method. Under the proportionate share method, our share of the revenues and expenses of the Unconsolidated Properties are combined with the revenues and expenses of the Consolidated Properties. In addition, other revenues are increased by the real estate net operating income of discontinued operations, if applicable, and are reduced by our consolidated minority interest venturers’ share of real estate net operating income. See Note 10 for additional information including reconciliations of our segment basis results to GAAP basis results.

Minimum rents increased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to higher effective rents and higher retail center occupancy. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in straight-line rent. In addition,

redevelopment activities had a negative impact on our minimum rents as space which is being redeveloped, even though it may be leased, did not generate revenue in the current quarter.
Tenant recoveries increased primarily as a result of higher operating costs, as discussed below, that are substantially recoverable from our tenants. Historically, our leases have included both a base rent component and a component which requires tenants to pay amounts related to all, or substantially all, of their share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses, including common area maintenance and insurance. The portion of these leases attributable to real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recorded as “Tenant recoveries”. Recently, however, we have been structuring our new tenant leases such that, although these leases still contain a minimum rent and a tenant recovery component, a higher proportion of our rental revenues represent operating expense recoveries. This change has resulted in a shift between minimum rents and tenant recoveries.
The increase in overage rents is primarily attributable to The Grand Shoppes and Ala Moana Center as the result of increased sales compared to the second quarter 2006.
Other revenues include all other property revenues including vending, parking, sponsorship and advertising revenues, less NOI of minority interests in consolidated joint ventures. The increase in the second quarter 2007 is primarily due to an increase in advertising revenue across the portfolio and lower allocations to minority interests as a result of certain acquisitions of our minority interest partners’ ownership share in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Real estate taxes, marketing and repairs and maintenance expenses were comparable across substantially all of our properties.
Other property operating costs were higher in 2007 primarily due to a $4.6 million reduction in general liability reserves in 2006. In addition, operating costs increased $2.5 million as a result of an acquisition and the completion of a development property related to our Brazilian joint venture. Higher electric expense, security expense and insurance costs across the portfolio comprise the majority of the remaining increase.
The provision for doubtful accounts was negative in 2007 primarily due to the recognition of approximately $4.8 million as recovery of previously reserved tenant rents due to business interruption insurance recoveries at our Riverwalk investment property (Note 8). In addition, we reversed a $1.7 million reserve at one of our consolidated properties as the collectability of the amount due is now secured by a letter of credit. Reductions in provision for doubtful accounts across the retail portfolio contributed to the decrease.

Although land sales increased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2006, the national housing market continues to be weak. Our two Houston communities, Bridgeland and Woodlands, continue to experience moderate demand and contributed to the slight increase in real estate property net operating income in 2007 as compared to 2006. Our share of real estate property net operating income for Woodlands increased to $7.9 million in 2007 from $4.7 million in 2006. Real estate property net operating income at Bridgeland also increased slightly. These increases were partially offset by decreases at our Summerlin and Maryland communities.

Average Price per Acre can fluctuate widely, depending on location of the parcels within a community and the unit price and density of what is sold. The average price per acre does not include payments received under builders’ price participation agreements, where we may receive additional proceeds post-sale and record those revenues at that later date, based on the final selling price of the home. In some cases, these payments have been significant with respect to the initial lot price. In addition, there will be other timing differences between lot sales and reported revenue due to timing of revenue recognition under generally accepted accounting principles. The above pricing data also does not reflect the impact of income taxes and the CSA (Note 8), which can have a material impact on results.

Changes in consolidated tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries and overage rents), land sales, property operating expenses and land sales operations were attributable to the same items discussed above in our segment basis results.
Management and other fees, property management and other costs and general and administrative in the aggregate represent our costs of doing business and are generally not directly property-related costs. Management and other fees increased as a result of higher fees attributable to improved NOI at certain operating properties in the second quarter 2007. Property management and other costs increased primarily as a result of higher personnel and personnel-related costs in 2007. The increase was attributable to higher incentive compensation costs and an increase in the number of employees. The increase in general and administrative is attributable to higher senior management compensation expense, including higher stock option expense resulting from the acceleration of the vesting period for certain stock options (Note 6).
The decrease in depreciation and amortization is due to completed depreciation of broadband equipment and other shorter-lived assets acquired or developed in the period from 1998 to 2002 and a cumulative adjustment to the useful lives of certain assets.
The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to higher capitalized interest. As a result of the increase in our development activities, we capitalized more interest in the second quarter of 2007 than in the prior year quarter. As discussed in Note 4, we issued $1.55 billion of 3.98% Notes in April 2007. Proceeds from such issuance were used, among other things, to repay $850 million of corporate unsecured debt under the senior credit facility and approximately $400 million on our revolving credit facility. We incurred approximately $2.4 million of debt extinguishment costs primarily associated with the repayment of the corporate unsecured debt. In addition, we refinanced $2 billion of variable-rate debt with lower fixed-rate property debt in the third quarter of 2006. Even though these transactions reduced interest expense, the savings were substantially offset by higher average outstanding debt and higher interest rates on the remainder of our portfolio.
The increase in provision for income taxes was primarily the result of the recognition of potential interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit recorded as the result of the adoption of FIN 48 (Note 5).

Minimum rents increased slightly as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 as higher effective rents were substantially offset by lower lease termination income and the impact of redevelopment activities. Lease termination income in 2007 was $17.2 million lower than the six months ended June 30, 2006. Redevelopment activities also had a negative impact on our minimum rents as space which is being redeveloped, even though it may be leased, did not generate revenue in the current period.
Tenant recoveries increased primarily as a result of higher operating costs, as discussed below, that are substantially recoverable from our tenants.
Historically, our leases have included both a base rent component and a component which requires tenants to pay amounts related to all, or substantially all, of their share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses, including common area maintenance and insurance. The portion of these leases attributable to real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recorded as “Tenant recoveries.” Recently, however, we have been structuring our new tenant leases such that a higher proportion of our rental revenues represent operating expense recoveries. This change has resulted in a shift between minimum rents and tenant recoveries.
The increase in overage rents is primarily attributed to Ala Moana Center and The Grand Canal Shoppes as the result of increased sales compared to 2006.
Other revenues include all other property revenues including vending, parking, sponsorship and advertising revenues, less NOI of minority interests in consolidated joint ventures. The increase in 2007 is primarily due to an increase in advertising revenue across the portfolio and lower allocations to minority interests as a result of certain acquisitions of our minority interest partners’ ownership share in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Real estate taxes were higher across substantially all of our properties. The increase in repairs and maintenance is primarily attributed to higher snow removal and cleaning costs across substantially all of our properties.
Other property operating costs were higher in 2007 primarily due to a $12.8 million reduction in general liability reserves in 2006. In addition, operating costs increased $3.9 million as a result of an acquisition and the completion

of a development property related to our Brazilian joint venture. Higher electric expense, security expense, employee and insurance costs across the portfolio contribute to the majority of the remaining increase.
The provision for doubtful accounts was substantially lower than the prior year, primarily due to the Riverwalk insurance recovery in addition to the three month activity discussed above.

As expected, land sales declined at all of our properties except Bridgeland, which began sales in the first quarter of 2006. We expect this trend to continue until the housing market stabilizes and national home builders resume capital investments. As a result of high inventories of unsold homes and land across the country, national home builders have reduced activity even in markets such as Summerlin and Houston where supply and demand have generally remained in equilibrium despite the weak national housing market.

Changes in consolidated tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries and overage rents), land sales, property operating expenses and land sales operations were attributable to the same items discussed above in our segment basis results.
Management and other fees, property management and other costs and general and administrative in aggregate represent our costs of doing business and are generally not directly property-related costs. Management and other fees increased as a result of higher fees attributable to improved NOI at certain operating properties in 2007. Property management and other costs increased primarily as a result of higher personnel and personnel-related costs in 2007. The increase was attributable to higher incentive compensation costs and an increase in the number of employees. The increase in general and administrative is attributable to higher senior management compensation expense, including bonuses and higher stock option expense resulting from the acceleration of the vesting period for certain stock options (Note 6) in the first quarter 2007.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization is due to completed depreciation of broadband equipment and other shorter-lived assets acquired or developed in the period 1998 to 2002 and a cumulative adjustment to the useful lives of certain assets.
The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to higher capitalized interest. As a result of the increase in our development activities, we capitalized more interest in the first quarter of 2007 than in the prior year quarter. Additionally, we incurred lower debt extinguishment costs in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of reduced refinancing activity. As previously discussed, we amended the senior unsecured credit facility and reduced the rate by approximately 60 basis points in the first quarter of 2006 and refinanced $2 billion of variable-rate debt with lower fixed-rate property debt in the third quarter of 2006. Even though these transactions reduced interest expense, the savings were more than offset by higher average outstanding debt and higher interest rates on the remainder of our portfolio.
Substantially all of the change in the benefit (provision) for income taxes is attributable to an internal restructuring of certain of our operating properties that were previously owned by TRS entities. This restructuring resulted in a net $297 million reduction in our income tax provision. Also impacting the change was the recognition of potential interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit recorded as the result of the adoption of FIN 48.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $237.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $335.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The decrease in total operating income is primarily due to lower net operating income in our Master Planned Communities segment. Land development and acquisitions expenditures, which are related to our Master Planned Communities segment, were $84.0 million in 2007 and $103.4 million in 2006. These expenditures will vary from year to year based on the pace of development and expected sales. As discussed above, demand at our Summerlin, Columbia
36

GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.
and Fairwood projects declined in 2006 and this trend continued into the six months ended 2007. As a result, land development and acquisitions expenditures declined in 2007.
Net cash provided by (used in) for working capital needs totaled ($14.2) million in 2007 and $8.0 million in 2006. The cash used for working capital needs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily the result of timing differences experienced in the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $575.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $169.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Net investing cash provided by (used in) our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates was ($151.7) million in 2007 and $83.2 million in 2006. The reduction in net cash is primarily attributed to decreased distributions in 2007 compared to 2006, resulting from the timing of distributions from one of our joint ventures. In addition, certain joint ventures retained cash and invested additional capital, including amounts from partners, to fund operations, new development and redevelopment activities and therefore did not have excess cash for distributions. We also received a distribution from one of our joint ventures in 2006.
Cash used for acquisition/development of real estate and property additions/improvements was $423.1 million in 2007 and $276.3 million in 2006. Expenditures in both years were primarily related to development and redevelopment activity. As of June 30, 2007, we had eight major approved redevelopment projects under construction (each with budgeted projected expenditures, at our ownership share, in excess of $25 million) and 16 new retail center development projects under construction. Developments in Progress per the balance sheet, plus our share of Unconsolidated Properties, totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2007. Included in such activity for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is approximately $9 million of land that was transferred from operating land. Future approved development spending is $1.8 billion which is expected to be expended between 2007 and 2010. We also have ten potential new retail or mixed-use developments.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $320.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and ($188.9) million in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Distributions to common stockholders, holders of Common Units and holders of perpetual and convertible preferred units totaled $275.0 million in 2007 and $249.2 million in 2006. Dividends paid per common share were $0.90 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $0.82 in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
New financings exceeded principal payments by $719.9 million in 2007 and by $139.8 million in 2006. The net financing activity in 2007 reflects draws and repayments on the revolving credit facility as well as the issuance of the $1.55 billion Notes offering. In the first quarter of 2006, we refinanced the initial TRCLP acquisition funding. The decrease in deferred finance costs is attributable to the reduction in refinancing activity in 2007 compared to 2006.
REIT Requirements
In order to remain qualified as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute or pay tax on 100% of our capital gains and at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. In determining distributions, the Board of Directors considers operating cash flow.
We anticipate that our operating cash flow and potential new debt or equity will provide adequate liquidity to conduct our operations, fund general and administrative expenses, fund operating costs and interest payments and allow distributions to our stockholders in accordance with the requirements of the Code. Certain properties are subject to financial performance covenants, primarily debt service coverage ratios. We believe we are in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2007.

There have been no significant changes in the market risks described in our Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
