NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1. Organization:

The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers (the "Centers") located throughout the United States.

The Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering on March 16, 1994. As of March 31, 2008, the Company was the sole general partner of and held an 85% ownership interest in The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The interests in the Operating Partnership are known as "OP Units." OP Units not held by the Company are redeemable, subject to certain restrictions, on a one-for-one basis for the Company's common stock or cash at the Company's option.

The Company was organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 15% limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company is reflected in these consolidated financial statements as minority interest in the Operating Partnership.

The property management, leasing and redevelopment of the Company's portfolio is provided by the Company's management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, LLC ("MPMC, LLC"), a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Management Company ("MMC"), a California corporation, Westcor Partners, L.L.C., a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Westcor Management LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Westcor Partners of Colorado, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, MACW Mall Management, Inc., a New York corporation, and MACW Property Management, LLC, a single member New York limited liability company. These last two management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Wilmorite Management Companies." The three Westcor management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Westcor Management Companies." All seven of the management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Management Companies."

2. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent public accountants.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Investments in entities that are controlled by the Company or meet the definition of a variable interest entity in which an enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity are consolidated; otherwise they are accounted for under the equity method and are reflected as "Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures."

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report

THE MACERICH COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

2. Basis of Presentation: (Continued)

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Tenant and Other Receivables:

Included in tenant and other receivables are allowances for doubtful accounts of $2,104 and $2,417 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Included in tenant and other receivables are the following notes receivables:

On March 31, 2006, the Company received a note receivable that is secured by a deed of trust, bears interest at 5.5% and matures on March 31, 2031. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the note had a balance of $9,609 and $9,661, respectively.

On January 1, 2008, as part of the Rochester Redemption (See Note 14—Discontinued Operations), the Company received an unsecured note receivable that bears interest at 9.0% and matures on June 30, 2011. The balance on the note at March 31, 2008 was $11,763.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") SFAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purpose of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 ("FSP FAS 157-1") and FSP SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of SFAS No. 157 ("FSP FAS 157-2"). FSP FAS 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP FAS 157-1 excludes from the scope of SFAS No. 157 certain leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-1 on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-1 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

2. Basis of Presentation: (Continued)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." SFAS No. 159 permits, at the option of the reporting entity, measurement of certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition as the Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to eligible financial instruments on that date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141(R) requires all assets and assumed liabilities, including contingent liabilities, in a business combination to be recorded at their acquisition-date fair value rather than at historical costs. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 141 (R) on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment to ARB No. 51". SFAS No. 160 clarifies the accounting for a noncontrolling interest or minority interest in a subsidiary included in consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 161 requires additional disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effect on the reporting entities financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash to be separated into liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the reporting entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The Company is required to adopt FSP APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions.

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are

2. Basis of Presentation: (Continued)

observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company reclassified loss on early extinguishment of debt to be included in total expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

3. Earnings per Share:

The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of share and unit-based compensation plans and convertible senior notes calculated using the treasury stock method and the dilutive effect of all other dilutive securities calculated using the "if-converted" method. The OP Units and MACWH, LP common units not held by the Company have been included in the diluted EPS calculation since they may be redeemed on a one-for-one basis for

(1): The Operating Partnership's ownership interest in this table reflects its legal ownership interest but may not reflect its economic interest since each joint venture has various agreements regarding cash flow, profits and losses, allocations, capital requirements and other matters.

The Company generally accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting unless the Company has a controlling interest in the joint venture or is the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity. Although the Company has a greater than 50% interest in Pacific Premier Retail Trust, Camelback Colonnade SPE LLC and Corte Madera Village, LLC, the Company shares management control with the partners in these joint ventures and accounts for these joint ventures using the equity method of accounting.

The Company had the following recent investments in unconsolidated joint venture interests:

On September 5, 2007, the Company purchased the remaining 50% outside ownership interest in Hilton Village, a 96,546 square foot specialty center in Scottsdale, Arizona. The total purchase price of $13,500 was funded by cash, borrowings under the Company's line of credit and the assumption of a mortgage note payable. The Center was previously accounted for under the equity method as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures.

On October 25, 2007, the Company purchased a 30% tenants-in-common interest in the Wilshire Building, a 40,000 square foot strip center in Santa Monica, California. The total purchase price of $27,000 was funded by cash, borrowings under the Company's line of credit and the assumption of an $6,650 mortgage note payable. The results of the Wilshire Building are included below for the period subsequent to its date of acquisition.

Included in mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of Northwestern Mutual Life ("NML") of $124,362 and $125,984 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. NML is considered a related party because it is a joint venture partner with the Company in Macerich Northwestern Associates. Interest expense incurred on these borrowings amounted to $2,105 and $2,179 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:

The Company recognizes all derivatives in the consolidated financial statements and measures the derivatives at fair value. The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage or reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. The Company designs its hedges to be effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. Any instrument that meets the cash flow hedging criteria in SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," is formally designated as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. On an ongoing quarterly basis, the Company adjusts its balance sheet to reflect the current fair value of its derivatives. To the extent they are effective, changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded in comprehensive income. Ineffective portions, if any, are included in net income. No ineffectiveness was recorded in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007. If any derivative instrument used for risk management does not meet the hedging criteria, it is marked-to-market each period in the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2008, four of the Company's derivative instruments were not designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the market value of these derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $45 and $286, respectively, reflected in other comprehensive income related to treasury rate locks settled in prior years. The Company reclassified $241 and $238 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to treasury rate lock transactions settled in prior years from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings. It is anticipated that the remaining $45 will be reclassified during the remainder of 2008.

Interest rate swap and cap agreements are purchased by the Company from third parties. Amounts received (paid) as a result of these agreements are recorded as a decrease (increase) to interest expense. The Company recorded other comprehensive loss of $23,857 and $3,693 related to the marking-to-market of interest rate swap and cap agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The amount expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is immaterial.

The fair values of interest rate swap and cap agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fell below or rose above the strike rate of the interest rate swap and cap agreements. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate swap and cap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, 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, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

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, 2008, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact 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.

The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008:

		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets and Liabilities (Level 1)			Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)			Balance at March 31, 2008

(c): On March 20, 2008, the Company obtained a construction loan that provides for borrowings up to $101,000 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.10% to 1.35% depending on certain conditions. The loan matures on March 14, 2011, with two one-year extension options. At March 31, 2008, the total interest rate was 4.15%.
(d): In addition to monthly principal and interest payments, contingent interest, as defined in the loan agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the amount by which the property's gross receipts exceeds a base amount. Contingent interest expense recognized by the Company was $80 and $78 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
(e): On January 1, 2008, these loans were transferred in connection with the redemption of the participating convertible preferred units (See Rochester Properties in Note 14—Discontinued Operations).
(f): The floating rate loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.88% and matures on August 9, 2008, with a one-year extension option. The Company has an interest rate cap agreement over the loan term which effectively prevents LIBOR from exceeding 7.12%. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the total interest rate was 4.20% and 6.48%, respectively.
(g): The floating rate loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.85% and matures in February 2010.

9. Mortgage Notes Payable: (Continued)

Most of the mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for the early extinguishment of the debt.

Total interest expense capitalized was $7,053 and $5,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The related party mortgage notes payable are amounts due to an affiliate of NML. See Note 11—Related Party Transactions for interest expense associated with these loans.

The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated to be approximately $3,126,325 and $3,437,032, at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans.

10. Bank and Other Notes Payable:

Bank and other notes payable consist of the following:

Convertible Senior Notes:

On March 16, 2007, the Company issued $950,000 in convertible senior notes ("Senior Notes") that are to mature on March 15, 2012. The Senior Notes bear interest at 3.25%, payable semiannually, are senior unsecured debt of the Company and are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. Prior to December 14, 2011, upon the occurrence of certain specified events, the Senior Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the election of the Company, at an initial conversion rate of 8.9702 shares per $1 principal amount. On and after December 15, 2011, the Senior Notes will be convertible at any time prior to the second business day preceding the maturity date at the option of the holder at the initial conversion rate. The initial conversion price of approximately $111.48 per share represented a 20% premium over the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 12, 2007. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Holders of the Senior Notes do not have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Senior Notes prior to maturity except in connection with the occurrence of certain fundamental change transactions. The carrying value of the Senior Notes at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes an unamortized discount of $7,515 and $7,988, respectively, incurred at issuance and is amortized into interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes in a manner that approximates the effective interest method. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the effective interest rate was 3.66%. The fair value of the Senior Notes is estimated to be approximately $806,835 and $809,305 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 based on current market price.

Concurrent with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company purchased two capped calls ("Capped Calls") from affiliates of the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes. The Capped Calls effectively increased the conversion price of the Senior Notes to approximately $130.06, which represents a 40% premium to the March 12, 2007 closing price of $92.90 per common share of the Company. The Capped Calls are expected to generally reduce the potential dilution upon exchange of the Senior Notes in the event the market value per share of the Company's common stock, as

THE MACERICH COMPANY

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

10. Bank and Other Notes Payable: (Continued)

measured under the terms of the relevant settlement date, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Calls. If, however, the market value per share of the Company's common stock exceeds $130.06 per common share, then the dilution mitigation under the Capped Calls will be capped, which means there would be dilution from exchange of the Senior Notes to the extent that the market value per share of the Company's common stock exceeds $130.06. The cost of the Capped Calls was approximately $59,850 and was recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital in 2007.

Line of Credit:

The Company has a $1,500,000 revolving line of credit that matures on April 25, 2010 with a one-year extension option. The interest rate fluctuates from LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.10% depending on the Company's overall leverage. The Company has an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate on $400,000 of the outstanding balance of the line of credit at 6.23% until April 25, 2011. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, borrowings outstanding were $1,323,000 and $1,015,000 at an average interest rate, excluding the $400,000 swapped portion, of 3.72% and 6.19%, respectively.

Term Notes:

On April 25, 2005, the Company obtained a five-year, $450,000 term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. In November 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate of the term loan at 6.30% from December 1, 2005 to April 25, 2010. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the entire term loan was outstanding with an effective interest rate of 6.50%.

On July 27, 2006, concurrent with the sale of Greeley Mall, the Company provided marketable securities to replace Greeley Mall as collateral for the mortgage note payable on the property (See Note 7—Marketable Securities). As a result of this transaction, the debt was reclassified to bank and other notes payable. This note bears interest at an effective rate of 6.34% and matures in September 2013. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the note had a balance outstanding of $27,518 and $27,676, respectively. The fair value is estimated to be $29,251 and $29,730 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, based on current interest rates on comparable loans.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants.

Interest income associated with these notes was $12 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. These loans represent initial funds advanced to development stage projects prior to construction loan funding. Correspondingly, loan payables in the same amount have been accrued as an obligation by the various joint ventures.

Due from affiliates of $5,556 and $5,729 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, represents unreimbursed costs and fees due from unconsolidated joint ventures under management agreements.

Hilton Village:

Mervyn's:

Concurrent with each acquisition, the Company entered into individual agreements to leaseback the properties to Mervyn's for terms of 14 to 20 years.

The purchase price allocation included in the Company's balance sheet date at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was based on information available at that time. Subsequent allocations may be made during the remainder of 2008. At acquisition, management identified 29 of the 41 aggregate properties in the portfolio as available for sale. These properties are located at shopping centers not owned or managed by the Company. The results of operations from these properties have been included in income from discontinued operations since the acquisition date (See Note 14—Discontinued Operations). The results of operations of the 12 Mervyn's properties not designated as assets held for sale have been included in continuing operations of the Company's consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

14. Discontinued Operations:

14. Discontinued Operations: (Continued)

Rochester Redemption:

On April 25, 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership acquired Wilmorite Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Wilmorite"), and Wilmorite Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Wilmorite Holdings"). Wilmorite's portfolio included interests in 11 regional malls and two open-air community shopping centers with 13,400,000 square feet of space located in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky and Virginia. The total purchase price was approximately $2,333,333, plus adjustments for working capital, including the assumption of approximately $877,174 of existing debt with an average interest rate of 6.43% and the issuance of 3,426,609 Class A participating convertible preferred units ("PCPUs") valued at $213,786, 344,625 Class A non-participating convertible preferred units valued at $21,501 and 93,209 common units in Wilmorite Holdings valued at $5,815. The balance of the consideration to the equity holders of Wilmorite and Wilmorite Holdings was paid in cash, which was provided primarily by a five-year, $450,000 term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and a $650,000 acquisition loan which had a term of up to two years and bore interest initially at LIBOR plus 1.60%. An affiliate of the Operating Partnership is the general partner and, together with other affiliates, owned as of December 31, 2007 approximately 84% of Wilmorite Holdings, with the remaining 16% held by those limited partners of Wilmorite Holdings who elected to receive convertible preferred units or common units in Wilmorite Holdings rather than cash. These interests represented a minority interest in MACWH LP, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and successor in interest in Wilmorite Holdings, which in turn holds the Wilmorite portfolio, and were recorded at predecessor basis, representing, at acquisition date, a $195,905 reduction from fair value in the balance sheet with the earnings attributable to these interests reported as minority interest in consolidated joint ventures in the consolidated statements of operations.

On January 1, 2008, a subsidiary of The Operating Partnership, at the election of the holders, redeemed the 3,426,609 PCPUs. As a result of the redemption, the Company received the 16.32% minority interest in the portion of the Wilmorite portfolio that included Danbury Fair Mall, Freehold Raceway Mall, Great Northern Mall, Rotterdam Square, Shoppingtown Mall, Towne Mall, Tysons Corner Center and Wilton Mall, collectively referred to as the "Non-Rochester Properties", including approximately 18,000 in cash held at those properties, for total consideration of $224,393, in exchange for the Company's ownership interest in the portion of the Wilmorite portfolio that consisted of Eastview Commons, Eastview Mall, Greece Ridge Center, Marketplace Mall and Pittsford Plaza, collectively referred to as the "Rochester Properties." Included in the redemption consideration was the assumption of the remaining 16.32% interest in the indebtedness of the Non-Rochester Properties, which had an estimated fair value of $105,962. The Company determined the fair value of the debt using a present value model based upon the terms of equivalent debt and upon credit spreads made available to the Company. The fair value of the debt consisted of $71,032 of Level 2 inputs and $34,930 of Level 3 inputs in accordance with SFAS No. 157. The source of the Level 2 inputs involved the use of the nominal weekly average of the U.S. treasury rates. In addition, the Company also received additional consideration of $11,763, in the form of a note, for certain working capital adjustments, extraordinary capital expenditures, leasing commissions, tenant allowances, and decreases in indebtedness during the Company's period of ownership of the Rochester Properties. The Company recognized a gain of $99,263 on the exchange based on the difference between the fair value of the

additional interest acquired in the Non-Rochester Properties and the carrying value of the Rochester Properties, net of minority interest. This exchange is referred herein as the "Rochester Redemption."

As a result of the Rochester Redemption, the Company recorded a credit to additional paid-in capital of $172,805 due to the reversal of adjustments to minority interest for the redemption value on the Rochester Properties over the Company's historical cost. In addition, the Company recorded a step-up in the basis of approximately $218,812 in the remaining portion of the Non-Rochester Properties.

The Company has classified the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 for all of the above dispositions as discontinued operations.

The loss on sale of assets from discontinued operations of $289 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 consisted of additional costs related to properties sold in 2006.

Revenues and income from discontinued operations were as follows:

15. Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company has certain properties that are subject to non-cancelable operating ground leases. The leases expire at various times through 2097, subject in some cases, to options to extend the terms of the lease. Certain leases provide for contingent rent payments based on a percentage of base rental income as defined in the lease agreements. Ground rent expense was $1,817 and $867 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No contingent rent was incurred in either period.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company was contingently liable for $6,361 in letters of credit guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations relating to the Centers. The Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the Company. In addition, the Company has a $24,000 letter of credit that serves as collateral to a liability assumed in the acquisition of Shoppingtown Mall in 2005.

The Company has entered into a number of construction agreements related to its redevelopment and development activities. Obligations under these agreements are contingent upon the completion of the services within the guidelines specified in the agreement. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $82,202 in outstanding obligations, which it believes will be settled in the next twelve months.

16. Share and Unit-Based Plans:

The Company has established share and unit-based compensation plans for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers, directors and key employees. The share-based compensation plans provide for grants of stock awards, stock options, operating partnership units and phantom stock units. In addition, the Company has established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan to allow employees to purchase the Company's common stock at a discount.

The Company accounts for its share and unit-based compensation plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." Under SFAS No. 123(R), an equity instrument is not recorded to common stockholders' equity until the related compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period of the award. The Company records compensation cost on a straight-line basis for awards, excluding the market-indexed awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). Compensation cost for the market-indexed LTIP awards are recognized under the graded attribution method.

On March 7, 2008, the Company granted 1,257,134 stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to certain executives of the Company as an additional component of compensation. The SARs vest on March 15, 2011. Once the SARs have vested, the executive will have up to 10-years from the grant date to exercise the SARs. There is no performance requirement, only a service condition of continued employment. Upon exercise, the executives will receive unrestricted common shares for the appreciation in value of the SARs from the grant date to the exercise date. The Company has measured the value of each SAR to be $7.68 as determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: volatility of 22.52%, dividend yield of 5.23%, risk free rate of 3.15%, current value of $61.17 and an expected term of 8 years. The assumptions for volatility and dividend yield were based on the Company's historical experience as a publicly traded company, the current value was based on the closing price on the date of grant and the risk free rate was based upon the interest rate of the 10-year treasury bond on the date of grant.

17. Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock:

On February 25, 1998, the Company issued 3,627,131 shares of Series A cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") for proceeds totaling $100,000 in a private placement. The preferred stock can be converted on a one for one basis into common stock and will pay a quarterly dividend equal to the greater of $0.46 per share, or the dividend then payable on a share of common stock.

No dividends will be declared or paid on any class of common or other junior stock to the extent that dividends on Series A Preferred Stock have not been declared and/or paid.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have redemption rights if a change in control of the Company occurs, as defined under the Articles Supplementary. Under such circumstances, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to require the Company to redeem their shares, to the extent the Company has funds legally available therefor, at a price equal to 105% of its liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock holder also has the right to require the Company to repurchase its shares if the Company fails to be taxed as a REIT for federal tax purposes at a price equal to 115% of its liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends, to the extent funds are legally available therefor.

17. Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock: (Continued)

On October 18, 2007, the holder of Series A Preferred Stock converted 560,000 shares to common shares.

The total liquidation preference as of March 31, 2008 was $84,561.

18. Income Taxes:

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. It is management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income it distributes currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any.

Each partner is taxed individually on its share of partnership income or loss, and accordingly, no provision for federal and state income tax is provided for the Operating Partnership in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has made Taxable REIT Subsidiary elections for all of its corporate subsidiaries other than its Qualified REIT Subsidiaries. The elections, effective for the year beginning January 1, 2001 and future years, were made pursuant to section 856(l) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's Taxable REIT Subsidiaries ("TRSs") are subject to corporate level income taxes which are provided for in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's primary TRSs include Macerich Management Company and Westcor Partners, L.L.C.

The income tax (provision) benefit of the TRSs is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007
Current	$	(7	)	$	(9	)
Deferred		(294	)		129

Total income tax (provision) benefit	$	(301	)	$	120

SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities of the TRSs relate primarily to differences in the book and tax bases of property and to operating loss carryforwards for

federal and state income tax purposes. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. The net operating loss carryforwards are currently scheduled to expire through 2028, beginning in 2012. Net deferred tax assets were $12,563 and $12,080 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 respectively.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," on January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had $1,574 of unrecognized tax benefit, all of which would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized, and which was recorded as a charge to accumulated deficit. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $2,063 of unrecognized tax benefit. As a result of tax positions taken during the current year, an increase in the unrecognized tax benefit of $157 was included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

The tax years 2004 to 2007 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will materially change within the next 12 months.

19. Segment Information:

The Company currently operates in one business segment, the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers. Additionally, the Company operates in one geographic area, the United States.

20. Restatement:

Subsequent to the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, management determined that the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and for each of the three years during the period ended December 31, 2007 required restatement to correctly account for the acquisition of Wilmorite and Wilmorite Holdings and the convertible preferred units ("CPU's") issued to prior owners in connection with the acquisition of the Wilmorite portfolio (see Note 14—Discontinued Operations). The Company improperly applied purchase accounting to 100% of the Wilmorite and Wilmorite Holdings acquisition and therefore minority interests in the Wilmorite portfolio were improperly recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and presented outside of permanent equity as Class A participating and non-participating convertible preferred securities in the consolidated balance sheets with the periodic distributions reflected as preferred dividends as a reduction of net income available to common stockholders within the consolidated statements of operations. Upon further consideration, the Company determined that these interests represent a minority interest in MACWH LP, which in turn holds the Wilmorite portfolio. Accordingly, the Company should only have applied purchase accounting to the extent of its proportionate interest in MACWH LP. The Company has corrected the accounting for these interests by recording a reduction in these interests of $195,905 from fair value to predecessor basis in the consolidated balance sheets with the earnings and dividends paid attributable to these interests reported as minority interests in consolidated joint ventures in the consolidated statements of

20. Restatement: (Continued)

operations. The adjustment also includes a reduction in depreciation expense from the 100% stepped up property basis previously reported.

In addition, because the participating CPU's were redeemable for the Rochester Properties (assets of MACWH LP) at the option of the CPU holders, they are subject to EITF Topic D-98, "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities" and accounted for as redeemable minority interest at the greater of their redemption value or amount that would result from applying Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 "Consolidated Financial Statements" consolidation accounting. The Company recognized the redeemable minority interest at historical cost within purchase accounting and subsequently adjusted the carrying value of the redeemable minority interest or redemption value changes at the end of each reporting period as a reduction of net income available to common stockholders within the consolidated statements of operations.

The restatement resulted in a decrease in property, net and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $134,018 and $50,019, respectively, an increase in minority interest of $208,993 and a decrease in Class A participating and non-participating convertible preferred units of $230,245, a decrease in additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $210,736 and $47,951, respectively, at December 31, 2007 and an increase in net income available to common stockholders of $942 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The Company also identified other errors related to classification of preferred dividends and classification of the impact for the adoption of FIN 48 within the consolidated statements of common stockholders' equity. During the years the Company has been in an accumulated deficit position, the preferred dividends should have been classified as a reduction in additional paid-in capital as opposed to increasing the accumulated deficit. As a result of this error, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit were overstated by $77,471 as of December 31, 2007. The impact of the adoption of FIN 48 should have been classified as an increase to the accumulated deficit as opposed to a decrease to the additional paid-in capital which resulted in an understatement of $1,574 of accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2007.

The following is a summary of the impact of the restatement on the financial statements below:

Management's Overview and Summary

The Company is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management, and leasing of regional and community shopping centers located throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). As of

March 31, 2008, the Operating Partnership owned or had an ownership interest in 72 regional shopping centers and 19 community shopping centers aggregating approximately 77 million square feet of gross leasable area. These 91 regional and community shopping centers are referred to hereinafter as the "Centers," unless the context otherwise requires.

The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company's Management Companies.

The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Acquisitions and Dispositions:

The financial statements reflect the following acquisitions, dispositions and changes in ownership subsequent to the occurrence of each transaction.

On September 5, 2007, the Company purchased the remaining 50% outside ownership interest in Hilton Village, a 96,546 square foot specialty center in Scottsdale, Arizona. The total purchase price of $13.5 million was funded by cash, borrowings under the Company's line of credit and the assumption of an $8.6 million mortgage note payable. The Center was previously accounted for under the equity method as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures.

On December 17, 2007, the Company purchased a portfolio of ground leasehold interest and/or fee simple interests in 39 freestanding Mervyn's stores located in the Southwest United States. The purchase price of $400.2 million was funded by cash and borrowings under the Company's line of credit. At acquisition, management designated 27 of the freestanding stores located at shopping centers not owned or managed by the Company as available for sale.

On January 1, 2008, a subsidiary of The Operating Partnership, at the election of the holders, redeemed the 3,426,609 Class A participating convertible preferred units ("PCPUs"). As a result of the redemption, the Company received the 16.32% minority interest in the portion of the Wilmorite portfolio that included Danbury Fair Mall, Freehold Raceway Mall, Great Northern Mall, Rotterdam Square, Shoppingtown Mall, Towne Mall, Tysons Corner Center and Wilton Mall, collectively, referred to as the "Non-Rochester Properties," for total consideration of $224.4 million, in exchange for the Company's ownership interest in the portion of the Wilmorite portfolio that consisted of Eastview Mall, Eastview Commons, Greece Ridge Center, Marketplace Mall and Pittsford Plaza, collectively referred to as the "Rochester Properties." Included in the redemption consideration was the assumption of the remaining 16.32% interest in the indebtedness of the Non-Rochester Properties, which had an estimated fair value of $106.0 million. The Company determined the fair value of the debt using a present value model based upon the terms of equivalent debt and upon credit spreads made available to the Company. The fair value of the debt consisted of $71.1 million of Level 2 inputs and

$34.9 million of Level 3 inputs in accordance with SFAS No. 157. In addition, the Company also received additional consideration of $11.8 million, in the form of a note, for certain working capital adjustments, extraordinary capital expenditures, leasing commissions, tenant allowances, and decreases in indebtedness during the Company's period of ownership of the Rochester Properties. The Company recognized a gain of $99.3 million on the exchange. This exchange is referred herein as the "Rochester Redemption."

On January 10, 2008, the Company in a 50/50 joint venture, acquired The Shops at North Bridge, a 680,933 square foot urban shopping center in Chicago, Illinois, for a total purchase price of $515 million. The Company's share of the purchase price was funded by the assumption of a pro rata share of the $205 million fixed rate mortgage on the Center and by borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

On January 31, 2008, the Company purchased a ground leasehold interest in a freestanding Mervyn's store located in Southland, California. The purchase price of $13.2 million was funded by cash and borrowings under the Company's line of credit. At acquisition, management designated the property as available for sale.

On February 29, 2008, the Company purchased a fee simple interest in a freestanding Mervyn's store located in Monrovia, California. The purchase price of $19.3 million was funded by cash and borrowings under the Company's line of credit. At acquisition, management designated the property as available for sale.

Hilton Village and the 12 Mervyn's freestanding stores that have not been designated as available for sale are referred herein as the "2007 Acquisition Properties."

Redevelopment:

The expansion of The Oaks, a 1.1 million square-foot super regional mall in Thousand Oaks, California, continues on schedule toward a multi-phased opening beginning with a 138,000-square-foot Nordstrom Department Store estimated to open in Fall 2008. Construction on the two-level, open-air retail, dining and entertainment venue, and a complete interior renovation continues. New additions to the Center's interior retail lineup include the first-to-markets Bare Escentuals, Fruits and Passions, kate spade, Marciano and Teavana.

On April 17, 2008, the Company marked the construction start of an expansive redevelopment of Santa Monica Place. Plans for the property are expected to transform the Center into an open-air shopping and dining destination. The Center closed for redevelopment on January 31, 2008 and is projected to re-open in Fall 2009.

Construction of the underground parking structure for the first phase of a new luxury wing at Scottsdale Fashion Square began in early 2008. Anchored by a first-to-market 60,000-square-foot Barneys New York, the expansion will introduce up to 110,000 square feet of luxury shops and restaurants and is expected to begin opening in Fall 2009. New tenants that opened during the three months ended March 31, 2008 include Bottega Veneta, Jimmy Choo and Marciano.

Construction on The Market at Estrella Falls, the power center phase of a 330-acre mixed-use development is underway. The 500,000-square-foot power center will begin opening in phases in Fall 2008. Old Navy joins previously announced large-format retailers Bashas', Staples, Shoe Pavilion, Razmataz and Petco. The project's future phases include a department-store anchored super regional shopping center and additional parcels for commercial and potential mixed-use opportunities.

Inflation:

In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of a relatively low inflation rate. Most of the leases at the Centers have rent adjustments periodically

through the lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or based on using an annual multiple of increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). In addition, about 6%-13% of the leases expire each year, which enables the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rents if the rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Additionally, historically the majority of the leases required the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses. In January 2005, the Company began entering into leases that require tenants to pay a stated amount for operating expenses, generally excluding property taxes, regardless of the expenses actually incurred at any Center. This change shifts the burden of cost control to the Company.

Seasonality:

The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the fourth quarter during the holiday season when retailer occupancy and retail sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve a substantial portion of their specialty (temporary retailer) rents during the holiday season and the majority of percentage rent is recognized in the fourth quarter. As a result of the above, earnings are generally higher in the fourth quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, and estimates for environmental matters. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.

Revenue Recognition:

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The difference between the amount of rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income is referred to as the "straight line rent adjustment." Currently, 53% of the mall and freestanding leases contain provisions for CPI rent increases periodically throughout the term of the lease. The Company believes that using an annual multiple of CPI increases, rather than fixed contractual rent increases, results in revenue recognition that more closely matches the cash revenue from each lease and will provide more consistent rent growth throughout the term of the leases. Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants' specified sales targets have been met. Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenants recoveries' revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.

Property:

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in redevelopment and development of properties in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 34 "Capitalization of Interest Cost" and SFAS No. 67 "Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties." The costs of land and building under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property,

developments costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized costs are allocated to the specific components of a project that are benefited. The Company considers a construction project as completed and held available for occupancy and ceases capitalization of costs when the areas under development have been substantially completed.

Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which includes HVAC equipment, roofs and parking lots are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.

Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements		5 - 40 years
Tenant improvements		5 - 7 years
Equipment and furnishings		5 - 7 years

Accounting for Acquisitions:

The Company accounts for all acquisitions in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." The Company first determines the value of the land and buildings utilizing an "as if vacant" methodology. The Company then assigns a fair value to any debt assumed at acquisition. The balance of the purchase price is allocated to tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair market value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under real estate investments and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (i) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with "cost avoidance" of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in the Company's markets; (ii) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the "assumed vacant" property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (iii) above or below market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. Leasing commissions and legal costs are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus an estimate of renewal of the acquired leases. Above or below market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market, and the asset or liability is amortized to minimum rents over the remaining terms of the leases.

When the Company acquires a real estate property, the Company allocates the purchase price to the components of these acquisitions using relative fair values computed using its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the amount of costs allocated between various components as well as the amount of costs assigned to individual properties in multiple property acquisitions. These allocations also impact depreciation expense and gains or loses recorded on future sales of properties.

Asset Impairment:

The Company assesses whether there has been impairment in the value of its long-lived assets by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include the tenant's ability to

perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The Company may recognize impairment losses if the discounted cash flows are not sufficient to cover its investment. Such a loss would be determined as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of a Center.

Deferred Charges:

Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. Costs relating to financing of shopping center properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In-place lease values are amortized over the remaining lease term plus an estimate of renewal. Leasing commissions and legal costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the individual remaining lease years. The ranges of the terms of the agreements are as follows:

Deferred lease costs		1 - 15 years
Deferred financing costs		1 - 15 years
In-place lease values		Remaining lease term plus an estimate for renewal
Leasing commissions and legal costs		5 - 10 years

Results of Operations

Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred due to the transactions described above including the 2007 Acquisition Properties and the Redevelopment Centers. For the comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2008 to the three months ended March 31, 2007, the "Same Centers" include all consolidated Centers, excluding the 2007 Acquisition Properties and the Redevelopment Centers. The Redevelopment Centers include The Oaks, Santa Monica Place, Westside Pavilion, The Marketplace at Flagstaff, SanTan Village Regional Center and Promenade at Casa Grande.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenues:

Minimum and percentage rents (collectively referred to as "rental revenue") increased by $11.9 million, or 10.2%, from 2007 to 2008. The increase in rental revenue is attributed to an increase of $5.1 million from the Same Centers, $3.4 million from the Redevelopment Centers and $3.4 million from the 2007 Acquisition Properties.

Rental revenue includes the amortization of above and below market leases, the amortization of straight-line rents and lease termination income. The amortization of above and below market leases increased from $3.2 million in 2007 to $3.5 million in 2008. The amortization of straight-lined rents increased from $1.3 million in 2007 to $1.5 million in 2008. Lease termination income decreased from $2.2 million in 2007 to $2.0 million in 2008.

Tenant recoveries increased $5.5 million, or 9.0%, from 2007 to 2008. The increase in tenant recoveries is attributed to an increase of $3.6 million from the Same Centers, $1.2 million from the Redevelopment Centers and $0.7 million from the 2007 Acquisition Properties.

Management Companies' revenues increased by $0.9 million from 2007 to 2008, primarily due to increased management fees received from the joint venture Centers, additional third party management contracts and increased development fees from joint ventures.

Shopping Center and Operating Expenses:

Shopping center and operating expenses increased $6.9 million, or 11.1%, from 2007 to 2008. Approximately $4.6 million of the increase in shopping center and operating expenses is from the Same Centers, $1.6 million is from the Redevelopment Centers and $0.9 million is from the 2007 Acquisition Properties.

Management Companies' Operating Expenses:

Management Companies' operating expenses increased to $18.3 million in 2008 from $17.8 million in 2007, in part as a result of the additional costs of managing the joint venture Centers and third party managed properties, higher compensation expense due to increased staffing and higher professional fees.

REIT General and Administrative Expenses:

REIT general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million from 2007 to 2008. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in share and unit-based compensation expense in 2008.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization increased $9.3 million from 2007 to 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily attributed to an increase of $3.8 million at the Redevelopment Centers, $3.5 million at the Same Centers and $1.9 million at the 2007 Acquisition Properties.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense increased $6.8 million from 2007 to 2008. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributed to an increase of $7.4 million from convertible senior notes issued on March 16, 2007, $2.9 million from the line of credit and $2.0 million from the Same Centers. The increase in interest expense was offset in part by a decrease of $3.5 million from term loans and $1.7 million from the Redevelopment Centers.

The increase in interest on the line of credit was due to an increase in average outstanding borrowings during 2008, in part, because of the purchase of The Shops at North Bridge and Mervyn's, offset in part by lower LIBOR rates and spreads. The decrease in interest on term loans was due to the repayment of the $250 million loan in 2007.

The above interest expense items are net of capitalized interest, which increased from $5.4 million in 2007 to $7.1 million in 2008 due to an increase in redevelopment activity in 2008.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt:

The Company recorded a $0.9 million loss from the early extinguishment of the $250 million term loan in 2007.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:

The equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $7.8 million from 2007 to 2008. The increase in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures is due in part to a $2.0 million loss on sale of assets at the SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. in 2007, the gain on sale of assets at Kierland Tower Lofts, LLC in 2008 and the acquisition of The Shops at North Bridge in 2008.

Gain on Sale of Assets:

The Company recorded a gain on sale of land of $0.7 million in 2008 and $1.8 million in 2007.

Discontinued Operations:

Income from discontinued operations increased $104.6 million from 2007 to 2008. The increase is primarily due to the $99.3 million gain from the Rochester Redemption in 2008. In addition, $5.2 million is attributed to the acquisition and designation of 29 freestanding Mervyn's stores as held for sale in 2008, offset in part by $2.9 million relating to the Rochester Redemption. See "Management's Overview and Summary—Acquisitions and Dispositions." As result of the designation of the Mervyn's properties as held for sale and the Rochester Redemption, the Company classified the results of operations for these properties to discontinued operations for both periods presented.

Minority Interest in the Operating Partnership:

The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents the 14.8% weighted average interest of the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company during 2008 compared to the 15.4% not owned by the Company during 2007. The decrease in minority interest is primarily attributed to the conversion of partnership units and preferred shares into common shares in 2007 (See Note 17—Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements) and the repurchase of 807,000 shares in 2007 (See Note 12—Stock Repurchase Program of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements).

Funds From Operations:

Primarily as a result of the factors mentioned above, funds from operations ("FFO")—diluted increased 12.9% from $85.1 million in 2007 to $96.0 million in 2008. For the reconciliation of FFO and FFO—diluted to net income available to common stockholders, see "Funds from Operations" below.

Operating Activities:

Cash flows provided by operations decreased from $56.3 million in 2007 to $35.0 million in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to changes in assets and liabilities in 2007 compared to 2008 and due to the results at the Centers as discussed above.

Investing Activities:

Cash used in investing activities increased from $77.1 million in 2007 to $244.8 million in 2008. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $102.2 million increase in contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures, a $25.3 million decrease in distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures and a $21.5 million increase in capital expenditures. The increase in contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures was attributed to the Company's pro rata share of the purchase of The Shops at North Bridge (See "Management's Overview and Summary—Acquisitions and Dispositions.")

Financing Activities:

Cash flow provided by financing activities increased to $188.8 million, compared to cash used in financing activities of $200.7 million in 2007. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributed to the proceeds from the issuance of $950 million convertible senior notes in 2007 offset in part by the purchase of $59.9 million for two Capped Calls in connection with the issuance, the repurchase of $75.0 million of common stock and an increase in the repayment of mortgage, bank and other notes payable in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity requirements through cash generated from operations, working capital reserves, property secured borrowings, unsecured corporate borrowings and borrowings under the revolving line of credit. The Company anticipates that revenues will continue to provide necessary funds for its operating expenses and debt service requirements, and to pay dividends to stockholders in accordance with REIT requirements. The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand, will be adequate to fund capital expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants, other than non-recurring capital expenditures.

The following tables summarize capital expenditures incurred at the Centers:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2008		2007
*Consolidated Centers:*
Acquisitions of property and equipment	$	38,057	$	2,178
Development, redevelopment and expansion of Centers		89,115		84,308
Renovations of Centers		4,992		14,553
Tenant allowances		3,023		5,272
Deferred leasing charges		6,031		5,481

	$	141,218	$	111,792

*Joint Venture Centers (at Company's pro rata share) :*
Acquisitions of property and equipment	$	262,271	$	529
Development, redevelopment and expansion of Centers		6,581		4,354
Renovations of Centers		5,544		2,170
Tenant allowances		2,082		2,530
Deferred leasing charges		1,608		1,033

	$	278,086	$	10,616

Management expects similar levels to be incurred in future years for tenant allowances and deferred leasing charges and to incur between $400 million to $600 million in 2008 for development, redevelopment, expansion and renovations. Capital for major expenditures, developments and/or redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be, obtained from equity or debt financings which include borrowings under the Company's line of credit and construction loans. However, many factors impact the Company's ability to access capital, such as its overall debt level, interest rates, interest coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions.

The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at March 31, 2008 was $7.7 billion (including $1.9 billion of its pro rata share of joint venture debt). This equated to a debt to Total Market Capitalization (defined as total debt of the Company, including its pro rata share of joint venture debt, plus aggregate market value of outstanding shares of common stock, assuming full conversion of OP Units, MACWH, LP units and preferred stock into common stock) ratio of approximately 55.2% at March 31, 2008. The majority of the Company's debt consists of fixed-rate conventional mortgages payable collateralized by individual properties.

The Company filed a shelf registration statement, effective June 6, 2002, to sell securities. The shelf registration is for a total of $1.0 billion of common stock, common stock warrants or common stock rights. The Company sold a total of 15.2 million shares of common stock under this shelf registration on November 27, 2002. The aggregate offering price of this transaction was approximately $440.2 million, leaving approximately $559.8 million available under the shelf registration statement. In addition, the Company filed another shelf registration statement, effective October 27, 2003, to sell up

to $300 million of preferred stock. On January 12, 2006, the Company filed a shelf registration statement registering an unspecified amount of common stock that it may offer in the future.

On March 16, 2007, the Company issued $950 million in convertible senior notes ("Senior Notes") that mature on March 15, 2012. The Senior Notes bear interest at 3.25%, payable semiannually, are senior to unsecured debt of the Company and are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. Prior to December 14, 2011, upon the occurrence of certain specified events, the Senior Notes will be convertible at the option of holder into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the election of the Company, at an initial conversion rate of 8.9702 shares per $1,000 principal amount. On and after December 15, 2011, the Senior Notes will be convertible at any time prior to the second business day preceding the maturity date at the option of the holder at the initial conversion rate. The initial conversion price of approximately $111.48 per share represented a 20% premium over the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 12, 2007. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Holders of the Senior Notes do not have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Senior Notes prior to maturity except in connection with the occurrence of certain fundamental change transactions.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company purchased two capped calls ("Capped Calls") from affiliates of the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes. The Capped Calls effectively increase the conversion price of the Senior Notes to approximately $130.06, which represented a 40% premium to the March 12, 2007 closing price of $92.90 per common share of the Company.

The Company has a $1.5 billion revolving line of credit that matures on April 25, 2010 with a one-year extension option. The interest rate fluctuates between LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.10% depending on the Company's overall leverage. In September 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate on $400.0 million of the outstanding balance of the line of credit at 6.23% until April 25, 2011. On March 16, 2007, the Company repaid $541.5 million of borrowings outstanding from the proceeds of the Senior Notes (See Note 10—Bank and Other Notes Payable of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements). As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, borrowings outstanding were $1,323.0 million and $1,015.0 million, respectively, at an average interest rate, net of the $400.0 million swapped portion, of 3.72% and 6.19%, respectively.

On April 25, 2005, the Company obtained a five-year, $450.0 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. In November 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate of the $450.0 million term loan at 6.30% from December 1, 2005 to April 15, 2010. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the entire loan was outstanding with an interest rate of 6.50%.

At March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants.

At March 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents available of $64.3 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

The Company has an ownership interest in a number of joint ventures as detailed in Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. The Company accounts for those investments that it does not have a controlling interest or is not the primary beneficiary using the equity method of accounting and those investments are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company as "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." A pro rata share of the mortgage debt on these properties is shown in "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk."

In addition, certain joint ventures also have debt that could become recourse debt to the Company or its subsidiaries, in excess of the Company's pro rata share, should the joint ventures be unable to discharge the obligations of the related debt.

The following reflects the maximum amount of debt principal that could recourse to the Company at March 31, 2008 (in thousands):

Property	Recourse Debt		Maturity Date
Boulevard Shops	$	4,280	12/17/2010
Chandler Village Center		4,375	1/15/2011

	$	8,655

Additionally, as of March 31, 2008, the Company is contingently liable for $6.4 million in letters of credit guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations relating to the Centers. The Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in any liability to the Company.

Long-term Contractual Obligations:

The following is a schedule of long-term contractual obligations as of March 31, 2008 for the consolidated Centers over the periods in which they are expected to be paid (in thousands):

	Payment Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		3 - 5 years		More than five years
Long-term debt obligations (includes expected interest payments)	$	6,068,233	$	477,873	$	2,821,391	$	1,913,595	$	855,374

Funds From Operations

The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO and FFO on a fully diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. FFO on a fully diluted basis is one of the measures investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by

GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. The reconciliation of FFO and FFO-diluted to net income available to common stockholders is provided below.

The following reconciles net income available to common stockholders to FFO and FFO-diluted (dollars in thousands): update

		For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2008			2007
Net income—available to common stockholders		$	95,628		$	3,508

	Share and unit-based compensation plans		328			312

FFO—diluted(2)			88,290			88,661

(1): Calculated based upon basic net income as adjusted to reach basic FFO. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, 12.6 million and 12.8 million OP Units were outstanding, respectively.
(2): The computation of FFO—diluted shares outstanding includes the effect of share and unit-based compensation plans and the Senior Notes using the treasury stock method. It also assumes the conversion of MACWH, LP common and preferred units to the extent that they are dilutive to the FFO computation. On October 18, 2007, 0.6 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into common shares. The preferred stock can be converted on a one-for-one basis for common stock. The then outstanding preferred shares are assumed converted for purposes of FFO-diluted as they are dilutive to that calculation. The MACWH, LP preferred units were antidilutive to the calculations at March 31, 2008 and 2007 and were not included in the above calculations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company has managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by (1) maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level, (2) reducing interest rate exposure on certain long-term floating rate debt through the use of interest rate caps and/or swaps with appropriately matching maturities, (3) using treasury rate locks where appropriate to fix rates on anticipated debt transactions, and (4) taking advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.

The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2008 concerning the Company's long term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value ("FV") (dollars in thousands):

(1): Fixed rate debt includes the $450 million floating rate term note and $400 million of the line of credit balance. These amounts have effective fixed rates over the remaining terms due to swap agreements as discussed below.

The consolidated Centers' total fixed rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $4.6 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. The average interest rate on fixed rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 5.60% and 5.57%, respectively. The consolidated Centers' total floating rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The average interest rate on floating rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 3.80% and 6.15%, respectively.

The Company's pro rata share of the Joint Venture Centers' fixed rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. The average interest rate on fixed rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 5.81% and 5.89%, respectively. The Company's pro rata share of the Joint Venture Centers' floating rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $191.9 million and $195.0 million, respectively. The average interest rate on the floating rate debt at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 3.92% and 6.09%, respectively.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage or hedge interest rate risk and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (See "Note 5—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements).

(1): Fair value at the Company's ownership percentage.

Interest rate cap agreements ("Cap") offer protection against floating rates on the notional amount from exceeding the rates noted in the above schedule and interest rate swap agreements ("Swap") effectively replace a floating rate on the notional amount with a fixed rate as noted above.

In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its floating rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $14.0 million per year based on $1.4 billion outstanding of floating rate debt at March 31, 2008.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on discounted cash flows at interest rates that management believes reflect the risks associated with long-term debt of similar risk and duration.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

However, based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2008, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
