Note 2 - Contingencies
The Company is currently involved in certain litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the pending
litigation will not materially affect the financial statements of the Company.
Additionally, based on environmental studies completed to date on the real
estate properties, management believes any exposure related to environmental
cleanup will not be significant to the financial position and results of
operations of the Company.
Note 3 - Credit Agreements
The Company has credit facilities of $389.4 million of which $124.9 million
is available at September 30, 2001. Outstanding amounts under the credit
facilities bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.49% at
September 30, 2001. The Company's consolidated and unconsolidated variable rate
debt as of September 30, 2001 was $864.1 million with a weighted average
interest rate of 5.09% as compared to 7.30% as of September 30, 2000. Through
the execution of interest rate swap agreements, the Company has fixed the
interest rates on $220 million of variable rate debt on operating properties at
a weighted average interest rate of 6.40%. There were no fees charged to the
Company related to these swap agreements. Of the Company's remaining variable
rate debt of $644.1 million, an interest rate cap in place on $50 million leaves
$594.1 million of debt subject to variable rates. Of this amount, $88.6 million
of debt is associated with properties currently under construction and $505.5
million of debt is associated with operating properties.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had an interest rate cap at 7.5% on $50
million of LIBOR-based variable rate debt. At January 1, 2001, the Company
implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended,
("SFAS No. 133") which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset
or liability measured at its fair value. At January 1, 2001, the Company
determined that with the exception of two swaps that expired during the first
quarter of 2001 the Company's derivative instruments were effective and
qualified for hedge accounting. The Company also determined that new swap
instruments obtained during 2001 were effective and qualified for hedge
accounting. The Company measured the effectiveness of these instruments in place
during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and determined that
the swap agreements continued to be highly effective and continued to qualify
for hedge accounting. The effective swap instruments were recorded on the
balance sheet at their fair values of $7.2 million in accrued liabilities and in
other comprehensive loss of $7.2 million. Over time, the unrealized gains and
losses held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to
earnings as interest expense as swap payments are made to the swap
counterparties. This reclassification is consistent with the timing of when
hedged items are recognized in earnings. Within the next twelve months, the
Company expects to reclassify to earnings as interest expense an estimated $5.2
million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

comprised of $124.5 million in cash including closing costs of approximately $12
million; the assumption of $745.5 million in non-recourse mortgage debt; and the
issuance of approximately 12.0 million special common units (SCUs) in the
Company's operating partnership. The following unaudited pro forma financial
information for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 present results
for the Company as if the acquisition of the interests acquired on January 31,
2001 had occurred at January 1, 2000. The unaudited pro forma financial
information neither purports to represent what the consolidated results of
operations actually would have been had the acquisition and related transactions
in fact occurred on the assumed date, nor purport to project the consolidated

Item 2: Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with CBL & Associates
Properties, Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
Information included herein contains "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such statements are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with
accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and
actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the events
and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. We direct you to the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
without limitation the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and the
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" incorporated by reference therein, for a discussion of such risks
and uncertainties.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company") Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto reflect the consolidated financial results of CBL &
Associates Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") which includes at
September 30, 2001 the operations of a portfolio of properties consisting of
forty-five regional malls, sixteen associated centers, seventy community
centers, an office building, joint venture investments in seven regional malls
and two associated centers, and income from eight mortgages (the "Properties").
The Operating Partnership also has one mall, one office building, one mall
expansion and two community center expansions currently under construction and
options to acquire certain shopping center development sites. The consolidated
financial statements also include the accounts of CBL & Associates Management,
Inc. (the "Management Company").
The Company classifies its regional malls into two categories - malls which
have completed their initial lease-up ("Stabilized Malls") and malls which are
in their initial lease-up phase ("New Malls"). The New Mall category is
presently comprised of a redevelopment project, Springdale Mall in Mobile,
Alabama, Arbor Place Mall in Atlanta (Douglasville), Georgia which opened in
October 1999, The Lakes Mall in Muskegon, Michigan which opened in August 2001,
and Parkway Place Mall in Huntsville, Alabama which was acquired in December
1998 and is being redeveloped in a joint venture with a third party.
During the third quarter the Company sold Park Village in Lakeland,
Florida, a 48,000-square-foot community center. The Company received a note of
$1.3 million and proceeds of $1.5 million which were used to pay down on the
Company's credit facilities.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operational highlights for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2001 as compared to September 30, 2000 are as follows:
SALES
Mall shop sales, for those tenants who have reported, in the forty-eight
Stabilized Malls in the Company's portfolio decreased by 1.1% on a comparable
per square foot basis.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
-------------------------------
2001 2000
---- ----
Sales per square foot $190.35 $192.47
Total sales volume in the mall portfolio, including New Malls, decreased
0.7% to $2.036 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $2.050
billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 for the Stabilized Malls were 12.8% and 13.8%,
respectively. Occupancy costs were 11.9%, 11.5% and 11.1% for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Occupancy costs as a percentage
of sales are generally higher in the first three quarters of the year as
compared to the fourth quarter due to the seasonality of retail sales.
OCCUPANCY
Occupancy for the Company's overall portfolio was as follows:
At September 30,
---------------------------------
2001 2000
------------------ --------------
Core Portfolio:
Stabilized malls 92.2% 92.7%
New malls 86.8 89.7
Associated centers 90.8 91.4
Community centers 96.7 97.8
Total portfolio occupancy 93.3 94.5
Newly-Acquired Portfolio:
Malls (21) 88.5 --
Associated centers (2) 100.0 --
Total Combined Occupancy: 92.2 --
Operating statistics exclude Parkway Place in Huntsville, Alabama where the
leaseable area has been demolished to make way for the redevelopment.

AVERAGE BASE RENT
Average base rents per square foot for the Company's three portfolio
categories were as follows:
At September 30,
-------------------------------------
2001 2000
------------------ ------------------
Malls $22.67 $20.97
Associated centers 10.16 9.67
Community centers 9.49 8.76
LEASE ROLLOVERS
On spaces previously occupied, the Company achieved the following results
from rollover leasing for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to
the base and percentage rent previously paid:
Per Square Per Square
Foot Rent Foot Rent Percentage
Prior Lease (1) New Lease (2) Increase
--------------------- -------------------- ------------
Malls $23.51 $25.90 10.2%
Associated centers 13.99 13.47 (3.7)%
Community centers 10.71 11.48 7.2%
<FN>
(1) - Rental achieved for spaces previously occupied at the end
of the lease including percentage rent.
(2) - Average base rent over the term of the lease.
</FN>
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, malls represented 83.8 % of
total revenues from all properties; revenues from associated centers represented
3.1 %; revenues from community centers represented 12.4 %; and revenues from
mortgages, development fees and the office building represented 0.7%.
Accordingly, revenues and results of operations are disproportionately impacted
by the malls' achievements.
The shopping center business is somewhat seasonal in nature with tenant
sales achieving the highest levels during the fourth quarter because of the
holiday season. The malls earn most of their "temporary" rents (rents from
short-term tenants) during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and
revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year.
Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the
results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2001 TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2000
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased by
$49.9 million, or 56.3%, to $138.5 million as compared to $88.6 million in 2000.
Minimum rents increased by $34.0 million, or 60.6%, to $90.2 million as compared
to $56.1 million in 2000, and tenant reimbursements increased by $14.6 million,
or 52.3%, to $42.6 million in 2001 as compared to $28.0 million in 2000.
Percentage rents increased by $0.1 million, or 3.5%, to $1.6 million as compared
to $1.5 million in 2000.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Management, leasing and development fees increased in the third quarter of
2001 by $0.4 million, to $1.5 million as compared to $1.1 million in 2000. This
increase is primarily due to fees earned on new joint venture projects.
Approximately $44.6 million of the increase in revenues resulted from
operations at eighteen new centers, which were acquired on January 31, 2001 from
The Richard E. Jacobs Group and are included in the consolidated financial
statements . These centers are described in the Development, Expansions,
Acquisitions and Dispositions section of this report:
Approximately $4.5 million of the increase in revenues resulted from
operations at the seven new centers opened or acquired during the past
fifteen months offset by a decrease in revenues of $1.4 million from
seventeen centers sold in the last twenty-one months. The seven new centers
consist of:

Creekwood Crossing Bradenton, Florida 404,000 New Development April 2001
The Lakes Mall Muskegon. Michigan 553,000 New Development August 2001
Approximately $ 2.2 million of the increase in revenues resulted from
improved operations, increases in occupancies and increases in recoveries, in
the existing centers
Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance
and repairs, increased in the third quarter of 2001 by $17.3 million or 63.7% to
$44.5 million as compared to $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2000. This
increase was primarily the result of the addition of the twenty-five new centers
referred to above.
Depreciation and amortization increased in the third quarter of 2001 by
$7.3 million or 48.0% to $22.6 million as compared to $15.2 million in the third
quarter of 2000. This increase is primarily due to the addition of the
twenty-five new centers referred to above.
General, administrative and other expense increased in the third quarter of
2001 by $0.5 million, or 11.4%, to $4.5 million as compared to $4.1 million in
2000. This increase was primarily the result of additional management staff
related to the addition of the twenty-five new centers referred to above.
Interest expense increased in the third quarter of 2001 by $16.6 million,
or 70.8% to $40.0 million as compared to $23.5 million in 2000. This increase
was primarily due to the additional interest on the twenty-five centers added
during the last fifteen months as referred to above.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The gain on sales of real estate assets decreased in the third quarter of
2001 by $2.8 million, to $1.1 million as compared to $3.9 million in 2000. The
majority of gain on sales in the third quarter of 2001 was from outparcel sales
at The Lake Mall in Muskegon, Michigan and outparcel land at a previously sold
center in Sand Lake Corner in Orlando, Florida. During the third quarter the
Company sold one completed center Park Village in Lakeland, Florida.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased in the third
quarter of 2001 by $0.8 million to $1.8 million as compared to $0.9 million in
the third quarter of 2000. This increase was the result of acquiring a
non-controlling interest in four malls and one associated center in three
partnerships, all accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The
increase was offset by decreases as the result of the end of operations at
Parkway Place Mall in Huntsville, Alabama which is being redeveloped and by the
acquisition of the remaining interest in Madison Square Mall in Huntsville,
Alabama. Since the Company now owns 100% of the interest in the Madison Square
Mall, this property is now accounted for as a consolidated property rather than
under the equity method. The new centers accounted for under the equity method
are: Columbia Mall in Columbia, South Carolina; East Towne Mall, West Towne Mall
and West Towne Crossing in Madison, Wisconsin and Kentucky Oaks Mall in Paducah,
Kentucky.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2001 TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased by
$131.0 million, or 49.7%, to $394.5 million as compared to $263.5 million in
2000. Of this increase, minimum rents increased by $88.6 million, or 52.8%, to
$256.4 million as compared to $167.8 million in 2000, and tenant reimbursements
increased by $41.2 million, or 52.3%, to $119.9 million in 2001 as compared to
$78.8 million in 2000. Percentage rents decreased by $0.8 million, or 11.0% to
$6.6 million as compared to $7.5 million in 2000.
Management, leasing and development fees increased in the nine months ended
September 20, 2001 by $0.7 million, to $3.8 million as compared to $3.1 million
in 2000. This increase is primarily due to fees earned on new joint venture
projects.
Approximately $113.6 million of the increase in revenues resulted from
operations at the eighteen new centers, which were acquired on January 31, 2001
from The Richard E. Jacobs Group and are included in the consolidated financial
statements. These centers are described in the Development, Expansions,
Acquisitions and Dispositions section of this report:
Approximately $ 17.3 million of the increase in revenues resulted from
operations at the seven new centers opened or acquired during the past
twenty-one months offset by a decrease in revenues of $4.1 million from
seventeen centers sold in the last twenty-one months. These new centers are
described in the previous section of this report.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Improved occupancies and operations, increased recoveries and increased
rents in the Company's operating portfolio generated $ 4.2 million of increased
revenues.
Management, leasing and development fees increased by $0.7 million to $3.8
million in the first nine months of 2001 as compared to $3.1 million in 2000.
This increase is primarily due to increases in fees earned on new joint venture
projects.
Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance
and repairs, increased in the first nine months of 2001 by $43.3 million, or
54.9%, to $122.2 million as compared to $78.9 million in 2000. This increase was
primarily the result of the addition of the twenty-five new centers referred to
above.
Depreciation and amortization increased in the first nine months of 2001 by
$19.6 million, or 43.7%, to $64.6 million as compared to $45.0 million in 2000.
This increase was primarily the result of the addition of the twenty-five new
centers referred to above.
General, administrative and other expense increased in the first nine
months of 2001 by $1.0 million, or 7.4%, to $14.2 million as compared to $13.2
million in 2000. This increase was primarily the result of additional management
staff related to the addition of the twenty-five new centers referred to above.
Interest expense increased in the first nine months of 2001 by $46.6
million, or 66.1%, to $117.2 million as compared to $70.6 million in 2000. This
increase was primarily the result of interest on debt related to the addition of
the twenty-five new centers referred to above.
The gain on sales of real estate assets decreased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 by $7.5 million to $5.8 million as compared to $13.3 million
in 2000. The majority of gain on sales of real estate assets in the first nine
months of 2001 resulted from the sales of outparcels at The Lakes Mall in
Muskegon, Michigan. The balance of the gain on sales was from the sales of four
completed centers during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased in the first nine
months of 2001 by $2.2 million to $4.7 million as compared to $2.6 million in
the first nine months of 2000. This increase was the result of acquiring a
non-controlling interest in four malls and one associated center in three
partnerships, all accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The
increase was offset by decreases as the result of the end of operations at

are: Columbia Mall in Columbia, South Carolina; East Towne Mall, West Towne Mall
and West Towne Crossing in Madison, Wisconsin and Kentucky Oaks Mall in Paducah,
Kentucky.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The principal uses of the Company's liquidity and capital resources have
historically been for property development, expansion and renovation programs,
acquisitions and debt repayment. To maintain its qualification as a real estate
investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company is required to
distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its "Real Estate Investment Trust
Taxable Income" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").
16
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $99.6 million available in
unfunded construction and redevelopment loans to be used for completion of the
construction and redevelopment projects and replenishment of working capital
previously used for construction. Additionally, as of September 30, 2001, the
Company had obtained revolving credit lines and term loans totaling $389.4
million of which $124.9 million was available. As a publicly traded company, the
Company has access to capital through both the public equity and debt markets.
The Company has filed a Shelf Registration authorizing shares of the Company's
preferred stock and common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock with an aggregate public offering price of up to $350
million with $278 million remaining after the Company's preferred stock offering
on June 30, 1998. The Company anticipates that the combination of these sources
will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to enable it to
continue its capital programs substantially as in the past and make
distributions to its shareholders in accordance with the Code's requirements
applicable to real estate investment trusts.
Management expects to refinance the majority of the mortgage notes payable
maturing over the next five years with replacement loans.
The Company's policy is to maintain a conservative debt to total market
capitalization ratio in order to enhance its access to the broadest range of
capital markets, both public and private. The Company's current capital
structure includes property specific mortgages, which are generally
non-recourse, revolving lines of credit, common stock, preferred stock and a
minority interest in the Operating Partnership. The minority interest in the
Operating Partnership represents the 17.7% ownership interest in the Operating
Partnership held by the Company's executive and senior officers, which may be
exchanged for approximately 8.9 million shares of common stock. Additionally,
Company executive officers and directors own approximately 2.0 million shares of
the outstanding common stock of the Company, for a combined total interest in
the Operating Partnership of approximately 21.7%. Ownership interests issued to
fund acquisitions of properties in 1998 and January 2001 and interest held by
former executives may be exchanged for approximately 15.6 million shares of
common stock, which represents a 31.2% interest in the Operating Partnership.
Assuming the exchange of all limited partnership interests in the Operating
Partnership for common stock, there would be outstanding approximately 50.1
million shares of common stock with a market value of approximately $1.365
billion at September 30, 2001 (based on the closing price of $27.25 per share on
September 30, 2001). The Company's total market equity is $1.436 billion, which
includes 2.9 million shares of preferred stock at the closing price of $24.75
per share on September 30, 2001. The Company's executive and senior officers'
ownership interests had a market value of approximately $296.7 million at
September 30, 2001.
Mortgage debt consists of debt on certain consolidated properties as well
as on eight properties in which the Company owns a non-controlling interest and
is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At September 30, 2001,
the Company's share of funded mortgage debt on its consolidated properties,
adjusted for minority investors' interests in seven properties, was $2.327
billion and its pro rata share of mortgage debt on unconsolidated properties
(accounted for under the equity method of accounting) was $100.8 million for
total debt obligations of $2.428 billion with a weighted average interest rate
of 6.657%.
The Company's total conventional fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2001
was $1.563 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 7.53% as compared to
7.46% as of September 30, 2000.
17
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The Company's variable rate debt as of September 30, 2001 was $864.1
million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.09% as compared to 7.30% as
of September 30, 2000. Through the execution of swap agreements, the Company has
fixed the interest rates on $220 million of debt on operating properties at a
weighted average interest rate of 6.40%. In addition, the Company has an
interest rate cap in place on $50.0 million of variable rate debt leaving $594.1
million of debt subject to variable rates. Interest on $88.6 million of this
remaining variable rate debt is capitalized to projects currently under
construction leaving $505.5 million of variable rate debt exposure on operating
properties as of September 30, 2001. There were no fees charged to the Company
related to its swap agreements.
The Company's swap and cap agreements in place at September 30, 2001 are as
follows:

At January 1, 2001, the Company
implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended,
("SFAS No. 133") which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset
or liability measured at its fair value. At January 1, 2001, the Company
determined that with the exception of two swaps that expired during the first
quarter of 2001 the Company's derivative instruments were effective and
qualified for hedge accounting. The Company also determined that new swap
instruments obtained during 2001 were effective and qualified for hedge
18
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
accounting. The Company measured the effectiveness of these instruments in place
during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and determined that
the swap agreements continued to be highly effective and continued to qualify
for hedge accounting. The effective swap instruments were recorded on the
balance sheet at their fair values of $7.2 million in accrued liabilities and in
other comprehensive loss of $7.2 million. Over time, the unrealized gains and
losses held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to
earnings as interest expense as swap payments are made to the swap
counterparties. This reclassification is consistent with the timing of when
hedged items are recognized in earnings. Within the next twelve months, the
Company expects to reclassify to earnings as interest expense an estimated $5.2
million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Based on the debt (including construction projects) and the market value of
equity described above, the Company's debt to total market capitalization (debt
plus market value equity) ratio was 62.8% at September 30, 2001.
During the third quarter, the Company closed a total of $121 million in
variable rate financings with terms of up to three years for three properties
with a weighted average interest rate of 5.10% at September 30,2001. The
proceeds along with $6.9 million from the Company's credit facilities were used
to prepay three loans with principal balances of approximately $114.9 million
and prepayment penalties and closing costs of $12.9 million. The weighted
average interest rate of the prepaid loans was 9.30%. The properties are Fashion
Square Mall in Saginaw, Michigan, Jefferson Mall in Louisville, Kentucky and
Northwoods Mall in North Charleston, South Carolina.
On January 31, 2001, the Company assumed, in connection with the
acquisition of twenty-three properties from The Richard E. Jacobs Group, total
debt obligations of $745.5 million, including permanent debt of $661.5 million
(adjusted for minority interest in one property); variable-rate debt of $12.5
million; and its pro rata share of mortgage debt on unconsolidated Properties
(accounted for under the equity method) of $71.5 million. In addition, the
Company closed a $212 million unsecured credit facility provided by a consortium
of banks led by Wells Fargo. The outstanding balance under this facility was
$79.7 million at September 30, 2001. Of the revolving component of this
facility, $69.7 million is remaining available and will be used to fund capital
needs in certain of the acquired Properties. During the second quarter of 2001
the Company retired $62.6 million of the term loan component of this facility.
DEVELOPMENT, EXPANSIONS AND ACQUISITIONS
On January 31, 2001, the Company acquired from The Richard E. Jacobs Group
interests in 21 malls and two associated centers. The total gross leasable area
of the twenty-three Properties was 19.2 million square feet, or an average gross
leasable area of 880,000 square feet per mall. The gross leasable area of the
mall stores in the Jacobs Properties was approximately 6.0 million square feet.
The malls are located in middle markets predominantly in the Southeast and the
Midwest. Additionally, in January 2001 the Company acquired the remaining 50%
interest in Madison Square Mall in Huntsville, Alabama. The centers acquired are

During the third quarter the Company opened The Lakes Mall in Muskegon,
Michigan a 553,000-square-foot mall anchored by Yonkers, Sears and JC Penney;
the first phase of the redevelopment of Parkway Place in Huntsville, Alabama and
an expansion of Springdale Mall in Mobile, Alabama where a Best Buy opened.
During the third quarter the Company also acquired the remaining 20% minority
interest in Cary Towne Center in Cary, North Carolina. The Company acquired the
interest in a tax free exchange under The Code for $4.5 million in cash and the
assumption of $12.5 million in debt.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The Company's other development activities include the second phase of the
joint venture redevelopment of Parkway Place in Huntsville, Alabama which after
opening the mall shops and Dillard's will contain 605,000-square-feet. The full
redevelopment is scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2002. The Comapny is also
expandng Meridian Mall in Lansing, Michigan which is scheduled to open in
November 2001 and the fall of 2002 and two community center expansions at
Chesterfield Crossing in Richmond, Virginia and at Coastal Way in Spring Hill,
Florida. In addition, the Company has under construction a new corporate
headquarters; CBL Center, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Company announced plans
to commence construction in early 2002 of The Mall of South Carolina in Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina, which is a joint venture with the landowner, Burroughs &
Chapin. The 1.3 million square-foot regional mall is projected to open in the
fall of 2003.
During the third quarter the Company sold Park Village in Lakeland, Florida
a 48,000-square-foot community center. The Company received a note of $1.3
million and proceeds of $1.5 million, which were used to pay down on the
Company's credit facilities.
The Company has entered into a number of option agreements for the
development of future regional malls and community centers. Except for these
projects and as further described below, the Company currently has no other
material capital commitments.
It is management's expectation that the Company will continue to have
access to the capital resources necessary to expand and develop its business.
Future development and acquisition activities will be undertaken by the Company
as suitable opportunities arise. Such activities are not expected to be
undertaken unless adequate sources of financing are available and a satisfactory
budget with targeted returns on investment has been internally approved.
The Company will fund its major development, expansion and acquisition
activities with its traditional sources of construction and permanent debt
financing as well as from other debt and equity financings, including public
financings, and its credit facilities in a manner consistent with its intention
to operate with a conservative debt to total market capitalization ratio.
OTHER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Management prepares an annual capital expenditure budget for each property
which is intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring
capital improvements. Management believes that its annual operating reserve for
maintenance and recurring capital improvements and reimbursements from tenants
will provide the necessary funding for such requirements. The Company intends to
distribute approximately 50% - 90% of its funds from operations with the
remaining 10% - 50% to be held as a reserve for capital expenditures and
continued growth opportunities. The Company believes that this reserve will be
sufficient to cover (I) tenant finish costs associated with the renewal or
replacement of current tenant leases as their leases expire and (II) capital
expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants.
Major tenant finish costs for currently vacant space are expected to be
funded with working capital, operating reserves, or the revolving lines of
credit, and a return on the funds so invested is expected to be earned.
For the first nine months of 2001, revenue generating capital expenditures
or tenant allowances for improvements were $17.6 million. These capital
expenditures generate increased rents from these tenants over the term of their
leases. Revenue neutral capital expenditures, which are recovered from the
tenants, were $7.1 million for the first nine months of 2001. Revenue enhancing
capital expenditures, or remodeling and renovation costs, were $17.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The Company believes that the Properties are in compliance in all material
respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding
the handling, discharge and emission of hazardous or toxic substances. The
Company has not been notified by any governmental authority, and is not
otherwise aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to
hazardous or toxic substances in connection with any of its present or former
properties. The Company has not recorded in its financial statements any
material liability in connection with environmental matters.
CASH FLOWS
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of
2001, increased by $32.5 million, or 37.2%, to $119.7 million from $87.3 million
in 2000. This increase was primarily due to the twenty-three centers acquired in
January 2001 and the opening or acquisition of seven centers over the last
twenty-one months and improved operations in the existing centers. Cash flows
used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2001 increased by
$112.5 million to $200.4 million compared to $87.9 million in 2000 primarily due
to the acquisition of properties offset by an decrease in proceeds from sales of
real estate assets. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first
nine months of 2001 increased by$90.0 million, to $89.1 million compared to $0.9
used in financing activities million in 2000 primarily due to increased
borrowings related to the development and acquisition program. During the first
nine months of 2001 the Company assumed debt of $791,449,000 and issued minority
interests of $289,373,000 to acquire real estate assets. In the same period the
Company also assumed debt of $71,495,000 and issued minority interests of
$50,603,000 to acquire non-controlling interests in real estate assets accounted
for under the equity method of accounting.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company because of the relatively low inflation rate. Substantially all tenant
leases do, however, contain provisions designed to protect the Company from the
impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to
receive percentage rentals based on tenant's gross sales, which generally
increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase
rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are
for terms of less than ten years which may enable the Company to replace
existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rentals if
rents of the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate. Most of
the leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses,
including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby
reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses
resulting from inflation.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Management believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO") provides an
additional indicator of the financial performance of the Properties. FFO is
defined by the Company as net income (loss) before depreciation of real estate
assets, gains or losses on sales of real estate and
gains or losses on investments in marketable securities. FFO also includes the
Company's share of FFO in unconsolidated properties and excludes minority
interests' share of FFO in consolidated properties. The Company computes FFO in
accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investments Trusts
("NAREIT") recommendation concerning finance costs and non-real estate
depreciation. The Company excludes gains or losses on outparcel sales, even
though NAREIT permits their inclusion when calculating FFO. Gains on outparcel
sales in the third quarter of 2001 were $0.9 million compared to $0.8 million in
the same period in 2000. In the nine months ended September 30, 2001 gains on
outparcel sales would have added $2.1 million to FFO as compared to $4.1 million
in the same period in 2000.
22
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of
Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not
only by the operations of the Properties, but also by the capital structure of
the Operating Partnership and the Company. Accordingly, management expects that
FFO will be one of the significant factors considered by the Board of Directors
in determining the amount of cash distributions the Operating Partnership will
make to its partners (including the REIT). FFO does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by accounting principals generally accepted in the United
States and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income(loss) for
purposes of evaluating the Company's operating performance or to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity.
For the three months ended September 30, 2001, FFO increased by $16.4
million, or 50.3%, to $49.1 million as compared to $32.6 million for the same
period in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, FFO increased by
$41.9 million, or 43.2%, to $139.0 million as compared to $97.1 million for the
same period in 2000. The increases in FFO for both periods was primarily
attributable to the acquisition of twenty-three properties in January, 2001 and
the opening or acquisition of seven properties in the last twenty-one months.
The Company's calculation of FFO is as follows (in thousands):
