PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS. FORMATION OF THE COMPANY CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate company which is engaged in the ownership, operation, marketing, management, leasing, expansion, development, redevelopment, acquisition and financing of regional malls and community and neighborhood centers. The Company was incorporated on July 13, 1993 under the laws of the State of Delaware to acquire an interest in substantially all of the real estate properties owned by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its affiliates ("CBL") and to provide a public vehicle for the expansion of CBL's shopping center business. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates limited partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), in which the Company owns an indirect 67.7% interest and of which the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary is the sole general partner. To comply with certain technical requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") applicable to Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("REIT's"), the Company's property management and development activities, sales of peripheral land and maintenance and security operations are carried out through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company"). On November 3, 1993, the Company completed the initial public offering, (the "Offering"), of 15,400,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). Simultaneously with the completion of the Offering, CBL transferred to the Operating Partnership substantially all of CBL's interests in its real estate properties and its management and development operations in exchange for an interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL also acquired an additional interest in the Operating Partnership for a cash payment. Each of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership may, at the election of its respective holder, be exchanged for shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. The Offering and the application of proceeds therefrom, including the Operating Partnership's acquisition of certain property interests, and the contribution by CBL of property interests to the Operating Partnership, are referred to herein as the "Formation." In September 1995, the Company completed a follow-on offering of 4,163,500 shares of its Common Stock at $20.625 per share. CBL purchased 150,000 of these shares. In January 1997, the Company completed a follow-on offering of 3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock at $26.125 per share. CBL purchased 55,000 of these shares as part of the offering. -3- In July 1998, the Company purchased a .3565% limited partner interest valued at $3.0 million from a former executive and minority limited partner in the Operating Partnership. In July 1998, the Company acquired Hickory Hollow Mall, Rivergate Mall, The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, The Village at Rivergate and Lions Head Village, all located in the metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee area. The purchase price of $247.4 million was funded with a ten-year fixed-rate loan in the amount of $182.7 million, the issuance by the Operating Partnership of a limited partner interest with a value of $15,292,394 and the balance funded from the Company's credit lines. In August 1998, the Company acquired Meridian Mall in Lansing (Oskemos), Michigan and Janesville Mall in Janesville, Wisconsin. The purchase price of $138 million was funded with an acquisition loan of $80 million, the assumption of a $ 17 million loan, the issuance by the Operating Partnership of a limited partner interest with a value of $52,964,737 and the excess loan proceeds of 12.1 million were used to pay down the Company's credit lines. During 1998, the Company purchased from CBL parcels of land for the expansion and development of existing properties in Nashville, Tennessee, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Radford, Virginia, and Columbus, Georgia for a total value of $1,583,838. The Operating Partnership issued limited partner interests to CBL in return for the parcels of land. After giving effect to the above transactions, CBL holds a 25.8% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, the Company holds a 67.7% general and limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership and third parties hold a 6.5% limited partner interest. In addition, CBL holds approximately 1.7 million of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for a total ownership share of 30.5%. In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000 shares of 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a price to the public of $25.00 per share, The net proceeds of $70 million were used to repay variable rate indebtedness incurred in the Company's development and acquisition programs. GENERAL The Company owns interests in a portfolio of properties, which as of December 31, 1998 consisted of 28 enclosed regional malls (the "Malls"), 14 associated centers (the "Associated Centers"), each of which is part of a regional shopping mall complex, and 82 independent community and neighborhood shopping centers (the "Community Centers"). Except for ten Malls, three Associated Centers and three Community Centers which were acquired from third parties, each of these properties was developed by CBL or the Company. Additionally, as of December 31, 1998, the Company owned one regional Mall, one Associated Center, one power center and two neighborhood shopping centers currently under construction (the "Construction Properties"). The Company also owned as of December 31, 1998, options to acquire certain shopping center development sites (the "Development Properties"). The Company also owned as of December 31, 1998, mortgages (the "Mortgages") on community and neighborhood shopping centers owned by non-CBL affiliates. The Mortgages were granted in connection with sales by CBL of certain properties previously developed by CBL. The Company also owns an interest in a three-story office building in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the major portion of which serves as the Company's headquarters (the "Office Building"). The Malls, Associated Centers, Community Centers, Construction Properties, Development Properties, Mortgages and Office Building are collectively referred to herein as the "Properties" and individually as a "Property". -4- As of December 31, 1998 the Company had also entered into standby purchase agreements with third-party developers for the construction, development and potential ownership of four community centers in Georgia and Texas (the "Co- Development Projects"). The developers have utilized these standby purchase agreements as additional security for their lenders to fund the construction of the Co-Development Projects. The standby purchase agreements for each of the Co-Development Projects require the Company to purchase the related Co-Development Project upon such Co-Development Project meeting certain completion requirements and rental levels. In return for its commitment to purchase a Co-Development Project pursuant to a standby purchase agreement, the Company receives a fee as well as a participation interest in each Co-Development Project. The outstanding amount of standby purchase agreements at December 31, 1998 is $116.4 million. The Company and the Operating Partnership generally own a 100% interest in the Properties. With two exceptions, where the Company and the Operating Partnership own less than a 100% interest in a Property, the Operating Partnership is the sole general partner, managing general partner or managing member of the property partnership or limited liability company which owns such Property (each a "Property Partnership"). For one Mall and its Associated Center, affiliates of the Operating Partnership are non-managing general partners in the two Property Partnerships owning those Properties. For a full description of the Properties, see Item 2 Properties The Companies executive office are loacated at 6148 Lee Highway, Suite 300, Chattanooga, Tn 37421-6511. The telephone number at this address is (423) 855-0001. MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF PROPERTIES MANAGEMENT COMPANY The Company is self-managed and self-administered. To comply with certain technical requirements of the Code, the Company's property management and development activities, sales of peripheral land are carried out through the Management Company. The Operating Partnership holds 100% of the preferred stock and 5% of the common stock of the Management Company. The remaining 95% of the common stock is held by Charles Lebovitz, his family and the associates. Substantially all of CBL's asset management, property management and leasing and development operations, including CBL's executive, property, financial, legal and administrative personnel, were transferred to the Management Company as part of the Formation. The Management Company manages all of the Properties (except for Governor's Square and Governor's Plaza in Clarksville, Tennessee - see below) under a management agreement that may be terminated at any time by the Operating Partnership upon 30 days written notice. In addition, the Management Company manages certain properties owned by CBL that were not transferred to the Company in the Formation as well as certain shopping centers owned by non-CBL affiliates. Through its ownership of the Management Company's preferred stock, the Operating Partnership enjoys substantially all of the economic benefits of the Management Company's business. Requirements set forth in the Management Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, state that a majority of the Management Company's board of directors are required to be independent of CBL. From November 1993 to the current date, the board of directors of the Management Company has consisted of the same individuals as the Company's board of directors, including the four independent directors. ON-SITE MANAGEMENT The on-site property management functions at the Malls include leasing, management, data processing, rent collection, project bookkeeping, budgeting, marketing, and promotion. Each Mall, for itself and its Associated Centers, has an on-site property manager who oversees the on-site staff and an on-site -5- marketing director who oversees the marketing program for that Mall. District managers, most of whom are located at the Company's headquarters, oversee the leasing and operations at a majority of the Community Centers. The on-site Mall managers are experienced managers with training in mall management. Virtually all operating activities of the Company are supported by a computer software system which is designed to provide management with operating data necessary to make informed business decisions on a timely basis. During 1994, the Company implemented a new management information system which included hardware and software. During 1998, the Company completed a hardware upgrade to the accounting system and implemented a web site to publish integrated information on the world wide web. These systems were developed to more efficiently assist management in efforts to maintain management quality, enhance investor relations and communications and enhance tenant relations while minimizing operating expenses. Retail sales analysis, leasing information, budget controls, accounts receivable/payable, operating expense variance reports and income analysis are continually available to management. Through these systems management also has available information that facilitates the development and monitoring of budgets and other relevant information. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Year 2000. Management pursues periodic preventative maintenance programs, which encompass paving, roofing, HVAC and general improvements to the Properties' common areas. The on-site property managers oversee all such work in accordance with approved budgets with the coordination of and reporting to management. GOVERNOR'S SQUARE Governor's Square and Governor's Plaza are the only Properties in the Company's portfolio in which the Company is not the sole general partner or managing general partner. Governor's Square is owned by a Property Partnership, the managing general partner of which is a non-CBL affiliate which owns a 47.5% interest in the Mall. The Company is a non-managing general partner of Governor's Plaza. Although the managing general partner of this partnership controls the timing of distributions of cash flow, the Company's approval is required for certain major decisions, including permanent financing, refinancing and sale of all or substantially all of the partnership's assets. Property management services, including accounting, auditing, maintenance, promotional programs, leasing, collection and insurance, are performed by a property manager affiliated with the non-CBL managing general partner for which such property manager receives a fee. EMPLOYEES The Company, through the Management Company, currently employs approximately 346 full time and 166 part time persons. None of these employees is currently represented by any union. The Company does not have any employees other than its statutory officers. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of petroleum, certain hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such real estate. Such laws typically impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such substances. The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain laws also impose requirements on conditions and activities that may affect the environment or the impact of the environment on human health. Failure to comply with such requirements could result in the imposition of monetary penalties (in addition to the costs to achieve compliance) and potential liabilities to third parties. -6- Among other things, certain laws require abatement or removal of friable and certain non-friable asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs") in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling. Certain laws regarding ACMs require building owners and lessees, among other things, to notify and train certain employees working in areas known or presumed to contain ACMs. Certain laws also impose liability for release of ACMs into the air and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with ACMs. In connection with its ownership and operation of the Properties, the Company, the Operating Partnership or the relevant Property Partnership, as the case may be, may be potentially liable for such costs or claims. All of the Properties (but not properties for which the Company holds an option to purchase but does not yet own) have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments or updates of existing Phase I environmental assessments within approximately the last six years. Such assessments generally consisted of a visual inspection of the Properties, review of federal and state environmental databases and certain information regarding historic uses of the Property and adjacent areas and the preparation and issuance of written reports. Some of the Properties contain, or contained, underground storage tanks ("UST"s) used for storing petroleum products or wastes typically associated with automobile service or other operations conducted at the Properties. However, certain environmental conditions are being evaluated at the recently acquired Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama (a 50% joint venture property). There appears to be a high potential for adverse environmental conditions, specifically Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, in the vicinity of an auto service center which had USTs. The Company has ordered additional engineering studies and as part of the redevelopment is proceeding to correct the environmental conditions at the site. Certain Properties contain, or contained, dry-cleaning establishments utilizing solvents. Where believed to be warranted, samplings of building materials or subsurface investigations were, or, with respect to one Property, will be undertaken. At certain Properties, where warranted by the conditions, the Company has developed and implemented an operations and maintenance program that establishes operating procedures with respect to ACMs. The costs associated with the development and implementation for such programs were not material. Although there can be no assurances that such environmental liability does not exist, other than Parkway City in Huntsville, Alabama, none of the environmental assessments have identified and the Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties in which the Company or the Operating Partnership has or had an interest (whether as an owner or operator) that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Nevertheless, it is possible that the environmental assessments available to the Company do not reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that subsequent investigations will identify material contamination, that adverse environmental conditions have arisen subsequent to the performance of the environmental assessments, or that there are material environmental liabilities of which management is unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of the Properties has not been or will not be affected by tenants and occupants of the Properties, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of the Properties or by third parties unrelated to the Company, the Operating Partnership or the relevant Property Partnership. The existence of any such environmental liability could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flow and the funds available to the Company to pay dividends. The Company has not recorded in its financial statements any material liability in connection with environmental matters. GENERAL RISKS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS General Factors Affecting Investments in Shopping Center Properties and Effect of Economic and Real Estate Conditions A shopping center's revenues and value may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including: the national and regional economic climates; local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of retail space); perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center; and the willingness and ability of the shopping center's owner to provide capable management and maintenance services. In addition, other factors may adversely affect a shopping center's value without affecting its current revenues, including: changes in governmental regulations, zoning or tax laws; potential environmental or other legal liabilities; availability of -7- financing; and changes in interest rate levels. There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at the Properties face continued competition from discount shopping centers, outlet malls, wholesale clubs, direct mail, telemarketing, television shopping networks and shopping via the Internet. Competition could adversely affect the Operating Partnership's revenues and funds available for distribution to partners, which in turn will affect the Company's revenues and funds available for distribution to stockholders. Geographic Concentration The Properties are located principally in the southeastern United States in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Nineteen Malls, thirteen Associated Centers, sixty-two Community Centers and the Office Building are located in these states. The Company's results of operations and funds available for distribution to stockholders therefore will be subject generally to economic conditions in the southeastern United States. As of December 31, 1998, the Properties located in the southeastern United States accounted for 60.5% of the Company's total assets, and provided 69.2% of the Company's total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998. Third Party Interests In Certain Properties The Operating Partnership owns partial interests in seven Malls, five Associated Centers, one Community Center and the Office Building. The Operating Partnership or an affiliate of the Company is the managing general partner of the Property Partnerships that own such Properties, except for the Governor's Square Mall and its Associated Center, Governor's Plaza, in which affiliates of the Operating Partnership are non-managing general partners. Where the Operating Partnership serves as managing general partner of Property Partnerships, it may have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the other partners in those partnerships. In certain cases, the approval or consent of the other partners is required before the Operating Partnership may sell, finance, expand or make other significant changes in the operations of such Properties. To the extent such approvals or consents are required, the Operating Partnership may experience difficulty in, or may be prevented from implementing its plans with respect to expansion, development, financing or other similar transactions with respect to such Properties. With respect to Governor's Square and Governor's Plaza, the Operating Partnership does not have day-to-day operational control or control over certain major decisions, including the timing and amount of distributions and decisions relating to sales, expansions and financings, which could result in decisions by the managing general partner that do not fully reflect the interests of the Company, including decisions relating to the standards that the Company is required to satisfy in order to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust for tax purposes. Dependence on Significant Properties Hamilton Place and CoolSprings Galleria accounted for approximately 6.2% and 5.9%, respectively, of total revenues of the Company for the period ended December 31, 1998. The Company's financial position and results of operations will therefore be disproportionately affected by the results experienced at these Properties. Dependence on Key Tenants As of December 31, The Limited Inc. (including Intimate Brands, Inc.) maintained 123 stores and in the year ended December 31, 1998 accounted for approximately 8.8% of total revenues of the Company. As of December 31, 1998, the Venator Group, Inc. (Champs Sports, Footlocker, Afterthoughts Boutique, etc.) had 87 stores and in the year ended December 31, 1998, accounted for 3.3% of the total revenues of the Company. As of December 31, 1998, Food Lion served -8- as an anchor tenant in 37 of the Community Centers and for the year ended accounted for approximately 3.1% of total revenues of the Company. Food Lion is a publicly traded North Carolina-based operator of supermarkets. The loss or bankruptcy of any of these or other key tenants could negatively affect the Company's financial position and results from operations. THE COMPANY'S STRATEGY FOR GROWTH Management believes that per share growth in the Company's Funds from Operations, as defined below, is one of the key factors in enhancing shareholder value. Management also believes that Funds from Operations is a widely used measure of the operating performance of REITs, and its consistent determination provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. It is the objective of the Company's management to achieve growth in Funds from Operations through the aggressive management of the Company's existing Properties, the expansion and renovation of existing Properties, the development of new properties, and select acquisitions. Funds from Operations can also be affected by external factors, such as inflation, fluctuations in interest rates or changes in general economic conditions, which are beyond the control of the Company's management. "Funds from Operations" is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before property depreciation, other non-cash items (consisting of the write-off of costs associated with development projects not being pursued), gains or losses on sales of real estate assets and gains or losses on investments in marketable securities. The cost of interest rate caps and finance costs on the Company's lines of credit are amortized and included in interest expense and, therefore, reduces Funds from Operations. Funds from Operations also includes the Company's share of Funds from Operations in unconsolidated properties and excludes minority interests' share of Funds from Operations in consolidated properties. The Company complies with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's ("NAREIT") revised definition of Funds from Operations by not adding back to income from operations depreciation and amortization of finance costs and non-real estate assets. The Company excludes outparcel sales from its Funds from Operations calculation, even though the NAREIT definition allows their inclusion. Funds from Operations does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP") and is not necessarily indicative of cash available from operations to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The Company classifies its regional malls into two categories - stabilized malls ("Stabilized Malls") which have completed their initial lease-up and new malls ("New Malls") which are in their initial lease-up phase or are being redeveloped. At year end the New Mall category was comprised of WestGate Mall in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which was renovated and expanded and reopened in October 1996; Oak Hollow Mall in High Point, North Carolina which opened in August 1995; Springdale Mall in Mobile, Alabama which was acquired in September 1997 and which is being redeveloped and retenanted; Bonita Lakes Mall in Meridian, Mississippi which opened in October 1997 and Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama which was acquired in December, 1998 and which is being redeveloped. Specifically, the Company has implemented its objective of growing its Funds from Operations and will continue to do so by: bullet Maximizing the cash flow from its existing portfolio of Malls, Associated Centers and Community Centers, and other retail complexes through aggressive leasing, management, and marketing, including: -- an active leasing strategy which seeks to increase occupancy. At December 31, 1998, the occupancy at the Stabilized Malls, New Malls, Associated Centers, and Community Centers was 93.6%, 93.6%, 90.5%, and 97.0%, respectively, as compared to occupancies of 91.7%, 89.2%, 83.3%, and 97.6%, respectively, at December 31, 1997; -9- -- expanded merchandising, marketing and promotional activities, with the goal of enhancing tenant sales and thereby increasing percentage rents. Mall store sales per square foot for the year ended December 31, 1998 were 3.8% higher at the Stabilized Malls than for the year ended December 31, 1997; -- increased base rents as tenant leases expire, renegotiation of leases and negotiation of terminations of leases of under performing retailers. At December 31, 1998 average base rents per square foot at the Malls, Associated Centers, and Community Centers was $19.82, $9.68, and $8.22, respectively, as compared to average base rents per square foot of $19.33, $9.43, and $7.42, respectively, at December 31, 1997; -- control of operating costs. Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales at the Stabilized Malls decreased to 11.1% (excluding malls acquired in 1998) for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to 11.2% for the year ended December 31, 1997. bullet Expanding and renovating existing properties to maintain their competitive position. -- Most of the Malls were designed to allow for expansion and growth through the addition of new department stores or other large retail stores as anchors ("Anchors"). Twenty-two of the twenty- eight Malls have undergone expansion or renovation since their opening, and all of the non-acquired Malls have been either built or renovated in the last 10 years or are in the process of being renovated in 1999. Two of the Malls had available Anchor pads at December 31, 1998. Eighteen existing Anchors at ten Malls have expansion potential at their existing stores. During 1998, the Company renovated Hamilton Place and Hamilton Crossing in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is presently renovating Governor's Square in Clarksville, Tennessee, College Square in Morristown, Tennessee and Rivergate Mall in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company is also expanding Lakeshore Mall in Sebring, Florida in 1999 by adding Sears as the fifth department store. -- In the Community Center and Associated Center portfolios, the Company renovated three Community Centers and expanded one Community Center and two Associated Centers in 1998. In 1999, the Company plans to renovate at least four Community Centers. bullet Developing new retail properties with profitable returns on capital, leading to growth in the future. -10- -- In 1998, the Company opened two Community Centers, the second phase of two power centers and expansions to three existing centers.

( 6) The Company opened the center on March 17, 1999. </FN> -- In addition to the Construction Properties, as of December 31, 19998 the Company was pursuing the development of a number of sites which the Company believes are viable for future development as malls and community and neighborhood shopping centers. Regional mall development sites were being pursued in Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina and community shopping center sites were being pursued in Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. -- In general, the Company seeks out development opportunities in middle-market trade areas that it believes are under-serviced by existing retail facilities, have demonstrated improving demographic trends or otherwise afford an opportunity for effective market penetration and competitive presence. -12- bullet Acquiring existing retail properties where cash flow can be enhanced by improved management, leasing, redevelopment and expansion. -- Management believes that an opportunity for growth exists through the acquisition of shopping centers that meet the Company's investment criteria and targeted returns. In general, the Company seeks to acquire well-located shopping centers in middle-market geographic areas consistent with management's experience where management believes significant value can be created through its development, leasing and management expertise. -- On January 2, 1998, the Company purchased Asheville Mall in Asheville, North Carolina for $65 million, which was funded by a $51.0 million acquisition loan with the balance funded from the Company's credit lines. -- On January 30, 1998, the Company purchased Burnsville Center in Minneapolis (Burnsville), Minnesota for $81 million which was funded by a $60.8 million acquisition loan with the balance funded from the Company's credit lines. -- In April 1998, the Company acquired Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania for $38 million, which was funded from the proceeds of a $32.6 million acquisition loan and the balance from the Company's credit lines. -- In July 1998, the Company acquired Hickory Hollow Mall, Rivergate Mall, The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, The Village at Rivergate and Lions Head Village, all located in the metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee area. The purchase price of $247.4 million was funded with a ten-year fixed-rate loan in the amount of $182.7 million, 631,589 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership with a value of $15.3 million and the balance funded from the Company's credit lines. -- In August 1998, the Company acquired Meridian Mall in Lansing (Oskemos), Michigan and Janesville Mall in Janesville, Wisconsin. The purchase price of $138 million was funded with an acquisition loan of $80 million, 2,118,299 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership with a value of $53 million, and the assumption of a $17.1 million mortgage loan. Excess loan proceeds of $12.1 million were used to pay down the Company's credit lines. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY'S GROWTH STRATEGY In connection with the implementation of this growth strategy, the Company and the Operating Partnership will incur various risks including the risk that development or expansion opportunities explored by the Company and the Operating Partnership may be abandoned; the risk that construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project not profitable; the risk that the Company and the Operating Partnership may not be able to refinance construction loans which are generally with full recourse to the Company and the Operating Partnership; the risk that occupancy rates and rents at a completed project will not meet projections, and will therefore be insufficient to make the project profitable; and the need for anchor, mortgage lender and property partner approvals for certain expansion activities. In the event of an unsuccessful development project, the Company's and the Operating Partnership's loss could exceed its investment in the project. -13- The Company has in the past elected not to proceed with certain development projects and anticipates that it will do so again from time to time in the future. If the Company elects not to proceed with a development opportunity, the development costs associated therewith ordinarily will be charged against income for the then-current period. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for the period in which the charge is taken. COMPETITION There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. The Malls are generally located in middle - -markets. Management believes that the Malls have strong competitive positions because they generally are the only or largest enclosed malls within their respective trade areas. In addition, retailers at the Properties face continued competition from discount shopping centers, outlet malls, wholesale clubs, direct mail, telemarketing, television shopping networks and shopping via the Internet. Competition could adversely affect the Operating Partnership's revenues and funds available for distributions to partners, which in turn will affect the Company's revenues and funds available for distribution to stockholders. SEASONALITY The Company's 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 entire year. QUALIFICATION AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST The Company has elected to be taxed as real estate investment trust under the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and will seek to maintain such status. As a qualified real estate investment trust, the Company generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to Federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. INSURANCE The Operating Partnership carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all the Properties, with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. Management believes that the Properties are adequately insured in accordance with industry standards. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. MALLS Each of the Malls is an enclosed regional shopping complex. Each Mall generally has at least three Anchors which own or lease their stores and numerous non-anchor stores with GLA less than 30,000 square feet ("Mall Stores"), most of which are national or regional retailers, located along enclosed malls connecting the Anchors. At most of the Malls, additional freestanding restaurants and retail stores are located on the periphery of the Mall complex. These freestanding stores are, in most cases, owned by their occupants. Twelve of the Mall complexes include one or more Associated Centers. The total GLA of the 28 Malls is approximately 20.5 million square feet or an average GLA of approximately 732,000 square feet per Mall. Mall Store GLA is 7,259,208 square feet including leased free-standing buildings at December 31, 1998. The Stabilized Mall occupancy was 93.6% at December 31, 1998. The Company wholly owns all but seven of its Malls and manages all but one of them. In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, Mall revenues represented approximately 72.8%, 72.9% and 74.9%, respectively, of total revenues from the Company's Properties. Occupancy of mall stores in the Stabilized Malls ("Stabilized Mall Stores") increased from 91.7% at December 31, 1997, to 93.6% at December 31, 1998. Occupancy of malls acquired during 1998, was 92.0% at December 31, 1998. In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, average Stabilized Mall Store sales per square foot were approximately $240, $263 and $273, respectively (computed using a monthly weighted average). Average Stabilized Mall Store sales per square foot increased by 3.8% for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997. Average base rent per square foot at the Mall Stores increased from $19.33 at December 31, 1997 to $19.84 at December 31, 1998. Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for tenants in the Stabilized Malls (excluding St. Clair Square and Foothills Mall acquired in 1996 and malls acquired in 1997 and 1998) were 11.7%, 11.2% and 11.1% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively. The Malls are generally located in middle-markets. Management believes that the Malls have strong competitive positions because they generally are the only or largest enclosed malls within their respective trade areas. Trade areas have been identified by management based upon a number of sources of information, including the location of other malls, publicly available population information, customer surveys, surveys of customer automobile license plates, as well as ZIP codes and third-party market studies. The two largest revenue-producing Malls are Hamilton Place and CoolSprings Galleria. Hamilton Place is located on a 187-acre site in Chattanooga, Tennessee and represented, as of December 31, 1998, 3.7% of the Properties' total GLA, 4.0% of total Mall Store GLA and 6.2% of total revenues from the Company's Properties. CoolSprings Galleria is located on a 148-acre site in metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee and represented, as of December 31, 1998, 3.6% of the Properties' total GLA, 4.0% of total Mall Store GLA and 5.9% of total revenues from the Company's Properties. -15- Twenty-two of the twenty-eight Malls have undergone an expansion or remodeling since their opening, and all but one of the Malls have either been built or renovated in the last 10 years, are in the process of being renovated, or are scheduled to be renovated in 2000. The Company renovated Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is presently renovating Governor's Square in Clarksville, Tennessee, College Square in Morristown, Tennessee and Rivergate Mall in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company is expanding Lakeshore Mall in Sebring, Florida, adding Sears as the fifth department store. The Company plans on renovating Burnsville Center in Minneapolis (Burnsville), Minnesota and Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania in 2000. Two of the Malls have available Anchor pads providing expansion potential totaling approximately 205,700 buildable square feet at December 31, 1998. Eighteen existing Anchors at ten Malls have aggregate expansion potential at their existing stores of approximately 473,000 buildable square feet. The land underlying the Malls is owned in fee in all cases, except for Walnut Square, WestGate Mall, St. Clair Square, Bonita Lakes Mall, Meridian Mall and Stroud Mall which are each subject to long-term ground leases for all or a portion of the land underlying these Malls. The table on the following page sets forth certain information for each of the Malls as of December 31, 1998: -16- Mall Year Ownership by Total Store Percentage Most Company and Mall Sales per Mall Store Fee or Year of Recent Operating Total Store Square GLA Anchor Ground Name of Mall/Location Opening Expansion Partnership GLA(1) GLA(2) Foot(3) Leased(4) Anchors Vacancies Lease -

Anchors. Anchors are a critical factor in a Mall's success because the public's identification with a property typically focuses on its Anchors. Mall Anchors generally are department stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of shoppers. Although the Malls derive a smaller percentage of their operating income from Anchor stores than from Mall Stores, strong Anchors play an important part in generating customer traffic and making the Malls desirable locations for Mall Store tenants. Anchors either own their stores together with the land under them, sometimes with adjacent parking areas, or enter into long-term leases with respect to their stores at rental rates that are significantly lower than the rents charged to tenants of Mall Stores. Anchors account for approximately 8.2% of the total revenues from the Company's Properties. Each Anchor which owns its own store has entered into a reciprocal easement agreement with the Company covering, among other things, operating covenants, reciprocal easements, property operations, initial construction and future expansions. The Malls have a total of 125 Anchors. Wal*Mart at Pemberton Square in Vicksburg, Mississippi was the only anchor vacant in the Company's Malls as of December 31, 1998. Dillard's has agreed to purchase that building from the Company and will open for business during 1999. Service Merchandise leases two stores in the Company's malls. In the year ended December 31, 1998, revenues from Service Merchandise accounted for less than 0.4% of total revenues of the Company. The following table indicates all Mall Anchors and sets forth the aggregate number of square feet owned or leased by Anchors in the Malls as of December 31, 1998. -19- MALL ANCHOR SUMMARY INFORMATION GLA GLA TOTAL NUMBER OWNED LEASED OCCUPIED OF ANCHOR BY BY BY NAME STORES ANCHOR ANCHOR ANCHOR (1) ------- ------- ------- ------- JCPenney 26 875,354 1,623,642 2,498,996 Sears 22 1,565,022 1,036,568 2,601,590 Dillard's 18 2,063,065 414,101 2,477,166 Sak's Proffitt's 10 1,203,322 0 1,203,322 McRae's 7 511,359 243,000 754,359 Parisian 4 207,520 209,920 417,440 - ------- ------- ------- Subtotal 21 1,922,201 452,920 2,375,121 Belk Belk 4 0 426,991 426,991 Belk-Lindsey 1 0 61,029 61,029 Belk-Hudson 1 0 152,890 152,890 Parks-Belk 1 0 122,367 122,367 - ------- ------- ------- Subtotal 7 0 763,277 763,277 The May Company Foley's 1 103,888 0 103,888 Famous Barr 1 0 236,489 236,489 - ------- ------- ------- Subtotal 2 103,888 236,489 340,377 Goody's 9 0 289,794 289,794 Montgomery Ward 2 0 245,829 245,829 Dayton-Hudson 2 323,326 0 323,326 Wal*Mart(2) 2 0 214,653 214,653 Kmart 2 0 173,940 173,940 Mervyn's 2 124,919 74,889 199,808 Rich's 1 115,623 0 115,623 Boston Store 1 0 96,000 96,000 Kohl's 1 0 88,691 88,691 The Bon Ton 1 0 87,024 87,024 Uptons 1 0 69,993 69,993 Beall Bros.

Management believes that in order to maximize the Company's Funds from Operations, tenants in Mall Stores must be able to operate profitably. A major factor contributing to tenant profitability is the tenant's cost of occupancy. The following table summarizes for Stabilized Mall Store tenants the occupancy costs under their leases as a percentage of total Mall Store sales for the last three years. FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, (1) -------------------------- 1996 1997 1998 ------ ------ -------- Mall Store sales $515.1 $666.5 $1,105.5 (in millions)(2) ====== ====== ======== Minimum rents 8.0% 7.7% 7.7% Percentage rents 0.3 0.4 0.3 Expense recoveries (3) 3.4 3.1 3.1 ---- ----- ------- Mall tenant occupancy costs 11.7% 11.2% 11.1% ==== ===== ======= <FN> (1) Excludes Malls not owned or open for full reporting period.

Anchor tenants in these centers include such retailers as Books-A-Million, Target, Toys "R" Us, TJ Maxx, and Goody's, which are category dominant retailers that benefit from the regional draw of the Malls. The Associated Centers also increase the draw to the total Mall complex. -22- Total leasable GLA of the fourteen Associated Centers is approximately 1.2 million square feet, including Anchors, or an average of approximately 83,000 square feet per center. As of December 31, 1998, 90.5% of total leasable GLA at the Associated Centers was occupied. In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, revenues from the Associated Centers represented approximately 3.3%, 3.8% and 3.9%, respectively, of total revenues from the Company's Properties. In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, average tenant sales per square foot at the Associated Centers were approximately $207, $189 and $172, respectively. Average base rent per square foot at the Associated Centers increased from $9.43 at December 31, 1997 to $9.68 at December 31, 1998. Each of the Associated Centers was developed by the Company, except for WestGate Crossing, Village at Rivergate and Courtyard at Hickory Hollow which were acquired in August 1997, July 1998 and July 1998, respectively. All of the land underlying the Associated Centers is owned in fee except for Bonita Crossing. Lease Expirations.

Annual rent is $14,355, increasing by 6% each year. </FN> COMMUNITY AND POWER CENTERS In addition to Mall development, the Company's development activities focus on Community Centers, and power centers. Community Centers pose fewer development risks than Malls because they have shorter development timetables and lower up-front costs. Community Centers also afford the Company the opportunity to meet the needs of retailers for whom a "convenience" type of location is more appropriate and the needs of customers whose trade areas cannot support a regional mall. Power centers are larger than other Community Centers, with several large anchor stores which draw shoppers from a wider geographic area. The Company's Community Center developments in the 1980's were generally anchored by supermarkets, and, in certain cases, by drug stores. Management's current focus has expanded to include the development of larger centers, anchored by mass merchandisers and department stores, while continuing the development of smaller centers anchored by supermarkets and drug stores. Recently completed Community Centers include centers in Portsmouth, Virginia and Orlando, Florida. Anchors at these new centers include, Hannaford Bros and Lowe's. The Company sold a completed center, Surrey Square in Elkin, North Carolina, in the last quarter of 1998. Community Centers, other than power centers, range in size from 25,000 square feet to in excess of 286,000 square feet. Anchors in Community Centers generally lease their store space and occupy 60-85% of a center's GLA. The number of stores in a Community Center ranges from one to sixteen with an average of seven stores per center. The Company's two power centers, which were completed and opened in 1997, average 7865,000 square feet and have an average of nine major anchor stores and additional small shop space ranging from 38,000 square feet to 136,000 square feet. The Company opened additional square feet in the second phase of these centers in 1998. The projects include expansion areas for additional major retailers. These power centers are included in the Community Center classification in this report. Total GLA of the 82 Community Centers is approximately 8.5 million square feet, or an average of approximately 84,000 square feet per center. As of December 31, 1998, 97.0% of total leasable GLA at the Community Centers was leased. In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, revenues from the Community Centers represented approximately 21.4%, 21.2% and 19.6%, respectively, of total revenues from the Company's Properties. Occupancy at the Community Centers decreased from 97.6% at December 31, 1997 to 97.0% at December 31, 1998. Average base rent per square foot at the Community Centers increased from $7.42 at December 31, 1997, to $8.22 at December 31, 1998. -25- As of December 31, 1998, Food Lion, a major regional supermarket operator with headquarters in North Carolina served as an anchor tenant in 37 of the Company's Community Centers. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Food Lion accounted for approximately 3.1% of the revenues generated by the Company's Properties. With the exception of Suburban Plaza, Sutton Plaza and Lions Head Village, which were acquired by the Company in March 1995, January 1997 and July 1998, respectively, each of the Community Centers was developed by the Company. The following table summarizes the percentage of total leasable GLA leased, average base rent per square foot (excluding percentage rent) and tenant sales per square foot at the Community Centers for each of the last five years.

Excess loan proceeds of $12.1 million were used to pay down the Company's credit lines. In December 1998, the Company, in a joint venture with a third party, acquired Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama. The joint venture is structured so that each partner retains a 50% ownership in the project. The Company's initial investment was $5.7 million and was funded from the Company's credit lines. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SALES Mall shop sales, for those tenants who have reported, in the twenty-three stabilized malls in the Company's portfolio, increased by 3.8% on a comparable per square foot basis as shown below: Year Ended December 31, ----------------------------- 1998 1997 ---------- --------- Sales per square foot $273 $263 Total sales volume in the mall portfolio, including new malls, increased 9.7% to $1.504 billion in 1998 from $1.371 billion in 1997. Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 for the stabilized malls (excluding malls acquired in 1998 and St. Clair Square and Foothills Mall from 1996) were 11.1%, 11.2% and 11.7%, respectively. The decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage of sales from 1997 to 1998 was due to both increasing sales and the Company's policy of cost containment. -40- OCCUPANCY Occupancy for the Company's overall portfolio increased, with a breakdown by asset category as follows: At December 31, ------------------------- 1998 1997 ----- ----- Stabilized malls 93.6% 91.7% New malls 93.6 89.2 Associated centers 90.5 83.3 Community centers 97.0 97.6 ----- ----- Total portfolio 94.8% 93.7% ===== ===== AVERAGE BASE RENTS Average base rents for the Company's three portfolio categories: At December 31, ---------------------------------- Percentage 1998 1997 Increase --------- --------- ----------- Malls. . . . . . . . . . . . $19.82 $19.33 2.5% Associated centers . . . . . 9.68 9.43 2.7 Community centers. . . . . . 8.22 7.42 10.8 LEASE ROLLOVERS On spaces previously occupied, the Company achieved the following results from rollover leasing for the year ended December 31, 1998 over and above the base and percentage rent paid by the previous tenant: Per Square Per Square Foot Rent Foot Rent Percentage Prior Lease (1) New Lease(2) Increase --------------- ------------ ---------- Malls. . . . . . . . . $20.78 $23.43 12.8% Associated centers . . 9.58 10.04 4.8 Community centers. . . 8.03 8.92 11.1 <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> In 1998 and 1997, respectively, revenues from the malls represented 74.9% and 72.9% of total revenues from the properties; revenues from associated centers represented 3.9% and 3.8%; revenues from community centers represented 19.6% and 21.2%; and revenues from mortgages and the office building represented 1.6% and 2.1%. Accordingly, revenues and results of operations are disproportionately impacted by the malls' achievements. -41- 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 entire year. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1998 TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1997 Total revenues in 1998 increased by $77.0 million, or 43.4%, to $254.6 million as compared to $177.6 million in 1997. Of this increase, minimum rents increased by $51.0 million, or 44.1%, to $166.6 million as compared to $115.6 million in 1997, percentage rents increased by $1.1 million, or 29.8%, to $4.8 million as compared to $3.7 million in 1997, other rents increased by $2.1 million, or 105.6%, to $4.0 million as compared to $1.9 million in 1997, tenant reimbursements increased by $22.5 million, or 43.9%, to $73.8 million as compared to $51.3 million in 1997. Approximately $17.5 million of the increase in revenues resulted from twelve new centers opened during the last twenty-four months and $54.1 million of the increase in revenues resulted from the fourteen new centers acquired during the last twenty-four months. Improved occupancies and operations, expansions to existing properties, and increased rents in the Company's operating portfolio generated approximately $5.4 million of the increased revenues with the largest increases from Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Westgate Mall in Spartanburg, South Carolina Management, development and leasing fees increased in 1998 by $0.3 million, or 12.5%, to $2.7 million as compared to $2.4 million in 1997. Our managed properties continue to provide the majority of this revenue augmented by an increase in development fees. Interest and other income was $2.7 million in both 1998 and 1997. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, increased in 1998 by $24.5 million, or 44.0%, to $80.2 million as compared to $55.7 million in 1997. This increase is primarily the result of the twelve new centers opened and the acquisition of fourteen properties over the past twenty-four months. The Company's cost recovery ratio remained stable at 92.1% in 1998 as compared 92.2% to in 1997. Depreciation and amortization increased in 1998 by $11.2 million, or 34.8%, to $43.5 million as compared to $32.3 million in 1997. This increase resulted primarily from depreciation and amortization on the twelve new centers opened and the acquisition of fourteen properties over the past twenty four months. Interest expense increased in 1998 by $29.5 million, or 78.0%, to $67.3 million as compared to $37.8 million in 1997. This increase is primarily due to increased interest expense on the twelve new centers opened and the acquisition of fourteen properties over the past twenty-four months partially offset by the repayment of variable rate debt with proceeds from the preferred offering in June 1998. General and administrative expense increased in 1998 by $2.8 million, or 30.8%, to $11.8 million as compared to $9.0 million in 1997. This increase was due to increases in reserves for state tax expense and increases in general overhead. -42- Gain on sales of real estate assets was $4.2 million in 1998 as compared to $6.0 million in 1997. The majority of the gain in 1998 is from outparcel and pad sales at the development centers Springhurst Towne Center in Louisville, Kentucky and Sand Lake Corner in Orlando, Florida. The gain on sales in 1998 also includes a $0.2 million gain on the sale of one existing center, Surrey Square in Elkin, North Carolina. The extraordinary loss in 1998 of $.8 million was from the refinancing of the loan on College Square Mall in Morristown, Tennessee. The Company reduced the interest rate from 10% to 6.75% and extended the term to fifteen years. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1997 TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1996 Total revenues in 1997 increased by $30.8 million, or 21.0%, to $177.6 million as compared to $146.8 million in 1996. Of this increase, minimum rents increased by $22.4 million, or 24.0%, to $115.6 million as compared to $93.2 million in 1996, percentage rents increased by $1.0 million, or 37.0%, to $3.7 million as compared to $2.7 million in 1996, other rents increased by $0.1 million, or 5.6%, to $1.9 million as compared to $1.8 million in 1996, tenant reimbursements increased by $8.9 million, or 21.0%, to $51.3 million as compared to $42.4 million in 1996. Approximately $7.6 million of the increase in revenues resulted from a full year of operations at the four new centers opened during 1996 and $11.0 million from a full year of operations from St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights, Illinois. Approximately $10.2 million of the increase in revenues resulted from the ten new centers opened and three centers acquired during 1997 offset by $1.9 million of revenues no longer received from five centers sold in 1996. Improved occupancies and operations, expansions to existing properties, and increased rents in the Company's operating portfolio generated approximately $3.9 million of the increased revenues with stabilized malls contributing approximately $3.1 million and the associated and community center portfolio contributing $0.8 million in increased revenues. Management, development and leasing fees were $2.4 million in both 1997 and 1996. Our managed properties continue to provide the majority of this revenue augmented by an increase in development fees. Interest and other income decreased by $1.6 million to $2.7 million in 1997 from $4.3 million in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of a mortgage property at the end of 1996 and the resulting elimination of interest income from the property. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, increased in 1997 by $10.9 million or 24.3%, to $55.7 million as compared to $44.8 million in 1996. This increase is primarily the result of the opening of the thirteen new centers over the past twenty- four months and the acquisition of four properties. The Company's cost recovery ratio decreased to 92.2% in 1997 as compared to 94.7% in 1996 primarily due the addition of properties with non-recoverable ground rent. Depreciation and amortization increased in 1997 by $6.9 million or 27.2% to $32.3 million as compared to $25.4 million in 1996. This increase resulted primarily from depreciation and amortization on the thirteen new centers opened and the acquisition of four properties over the past twenty four months. Interest expense increased in 1997 by $6.1 million or 19.2% to $37.8 million as compared to $31.7 million in 1996. This increase is primarily due to increased interest expense on the thirteen new centers opened and the acquisition of four properties over the past twenty-four months offset by the reduction of variable rate debt with proceeds from the spot offering in January 1997. -43- General and administrative expense was $9.0 million in 1997 as compared to $8.5 million in 1996. This increase was primarily due to increases in reserves for state tax expense and general increases in overhead. Other expense was $0.3 million in 1997 and $0.6 million in 1996. These amounts represent the write-off of development projects which the Company has elected not to pursue. Gain on sales of real estate assets was $6.0 million in 1997 as compared to $13.6 million in 1996. The majority of the gain in 1997 is from outparcel and pad sales at the development centers: Cortlandt Town Center in Cortlandt, New York, Salem Crossing in Virginia Beach, Virginia and Springhurst Towne Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The gain on sales in 1997 also includes a $0.7 million gain on the sale of one completed center. The majority of gain on sales in 1996 were from sales of five completed centers for $7.6 million. Most of the remaining $6.0 million of outparcel sales in 1996 were in connection with the development of Springhurst Towne Center in Louisville, Kentucky and Massard Crossing in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. The extraordinary loss in 1997 of $1.1 million resulted from the refinancing or extinguishment of debt on a number of properties, the largest of which was Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The reduction in the interest rate on the refinanced debt on Hamilton Place was 2.25%. The extraordinary loss in 1996 was from the refinancing of debt on Governor's Square in Clarksville, Tennessee. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The principal uses of the Company's liquidity and capital resources have historically been for property development, acquisitions, expansion and renovation programs, 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 95% of its "Real Estate Investment Trust Taxable Income" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As of January 31, 1999, the Company had $63.9 million available in unfunded construction loans to be used for completion of the construction projects and replenishment of working capital previously used for construction. Additionally, as of January 31, 1999, the Company had obtained revolving credit lines and term loans totaling $230 million of which $58.4 million was available. Also, 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 statement authorizing shares of the Company's common stock, preferred 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 available as of January 31, 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 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 includes the 25.8% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the Company's executive and senior officers which may be exchanged for approximately 9.4 million shares of common stock. Additionally, Company executive officers and directors own approximately 1.7 million shares of -44- the outstanding common stock of the Company, for a combined total interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 30.5%. Operating Partnership interests issued to fund acquisitions in 1998, which represent, in the aggregate a 6.5% limited partnership interest in the operating partnership, may be exchanged for approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock. Assuming the exchange of all limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership for common stock, there would be approximately 36.5 million shares of common stock outstanding with a market value of approximately $942.0 million at December 31, 1998 (based on the closing price of its common stock of $25.8125 per share on December 31, 1998). The Company's total market equity is $1.015 billion which includes 2.9 million shares of preferred stock at their closing price of $25.25 per share on December 31, 1998. Company executive and senior officers' ownership interests had a market value of approximately $287.4 million at December 31, 1998. Mortgage debt consists of debt on certain consolidated properties as well as debt on three properties in which the Company owns a non-controlling interests, accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At December 31, 1998, the Company's share of funded mortgage debt on its consolidated properties adjusted for minority investors' interests in seven properties was $677.9 million and its pro rata share of mortgage debt on unconsolidated properties (accounted for under the equity method) was $41.3 million for total fixed rate debt obligations of $719.2 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.45%. Variable rate debt accounted for $508.5 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.6%. Total debt obligations (including construction loans) amounted to $1.228 billion. Variable rate debt accounted for approximately 41.4% of the Company's total debt and 22.7% of its total capitalization. Through the execution of interest rate swap agreements, the Company has fixed the interest rates on $314 million of variable rate debt on operating properties at a weighted average interest rate of 6.6%. Of the remaining variable rate debt of $194.5 million the Company has, interest rate caps in place of $100.0 million and a conventional permanent loan commitment of $75.0 million, leaving $19.5 million of debt subject to variable rates on construction properties and no debt subject to variable rates on operating properties. The Company's current exposure to interest rate fluctuations which could impact funds from operations has been effectively mitigated by these interest rate cap and swap agreements and permanent loan commitments. There were no fees charged to the Company related to these swap agreements. The Company's swap and cap agreements in place at December 31, 1998 are as follows: Fixed Amount LIBOR Effective Expiration (in millions) Swap/Cap Component Date Date - ------------- -------- --------- --------- ---------- $65 swap 5.72% 01/07/98 01/07/2000 81 swap 5.54% 02/04/98 02/04/2000 50 swap 5.70% 06/15/98 06/15/2001 38 swap 5.73% 06/26/98 06/30/2001 80 swap 5.49% 09/01/98 09/01/2001 100 cap 7.50% 01/01/99 12/31/1999 In August 1998, the Company expanded one of its credit facilities by $35 million. The Company's credit facilities have a weighted average interest rate of 99 basis points over LIBOR at January 31, 1999. Each of the credit facilities includes covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum net worth levels, interest and debt coverage ratios, total obligations to capitalized value ratios, and limitations on variable rate debt. The credit facilities also require that the Company's senior management continue to consist of certain individuals and to maintain certain levels of minority ownership in the Operating Partnership. The First Tennessee Bank credit facility provides that if the Company completes an offering of its securities, not less than 75% of the net proceeds of any such offering will be applied for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. -45- The following table sets forth the Company's credit facilities at January 31, 1999 as follows (in millions): Credit Facility Amount Current Balance Maturity - ----------------- ----------- ---------------- ----------- SunTrust $10 $10.0 April 2000 SouthTrust 20 20.0 March 2001 First Tennessee 80 48.8 June 2000 Wells Fargo 120 93.0 September 1999 In the second half of 1998, the Company closed a $24 million conventional mortgage loan on Springhurst Towne Center in Louisville Kentucky at an interest rate of 6.65%; a $54 million conventional mortgage loan on Cortlandt Town Center in Cortlandt, New York at an interest rate of 6.9%; and a $39.4 million conventional mortgage loan on Bonita Lakes Mall and Crossing in Meridian, Mississippi at an interest rate of 6.82%. The proceeds from these loans were used to repay existing fixed rate and variable rate debt. In August 1998, the Company refinanced the mortgage loan on College Square Mall in Morristown, Tennessee, extending the term, drawing $2 million for a planned renovation in 1999 and reducing the interest rate from 10% to 6.75%. In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000 shares of 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price to the public of $25 per share. The net proceeds of $70 million were used to repay variable rate indebtedness incurred in the Company's development and acquisition programs. 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 54.7% at December 31, 1998, as compared to 47.9% at December 31, 1997. -46- DEVELOPMENT, EXPANSIONS AND ACQUISITIONS During 1998, the Company opened approximately 871,000 square feet of new retail properties consisting of the following: Project Name Location Total GLA Anchors - ---------------------------- ------------------------ -------------- ---------------------- Springhurst Towne Center Louisville, Kentucky 303,000 Target, Meijer, TJ Maxx, Phase II Kohl's, Cinemark, Books- A-Million, Office Max Cortland Town Center Phase II Cortland, New York 297,000 Wal*Mart, Home Depot, HomePlace, Steinbach, A&P, Office Max, United Artist, PetsMart, Marshalls, Barnes & Noble Sterling Creek Commons Portsmouth, Virginia 65,000 Hannaford Food & Drug Sand Lake Corner Orlando, Florida 165,000 Lowe's Home Improvement Hamilton Crossing Chattanooga, Tennessee 14,000 CoolSprings Crossing Nashville, Tennessee 12,000 Girvin Plaza Jacksonville, Florida 15,000 During 1998, the Company acquired 6,611,000 square feet consisting of the following: Project Name Location Total GLA Anchors - ---------------------------- ------------------------ -------------- ---------------------- Asheville Mall Asheville, North Carolina 817,000 Dillard's, Belk, JCPenney, Sears, Montgomery Ward Burnsville Center Minneapolis (Burnsville), 1,070,000 Dayton-Hudson, JCPenney, Minnesota Mervyn's, Sears Stroud Mall Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania 427,000 Sears, JCPenney, The Bon Ton Hickory Hollow Mall Nashville, Tennessee 1,096,000 JCPenney, Sears, Dillard's, Proffitts Rivergate Mall Nashville, Tennessee 1,074,000 JCPenney, Sears, Dillard's, Proffitts Courtyard at Hickory Nashville, Tennessee 77,000 Carmike Cinema, Just for Hollow Feet Village at Rivergate Nashville, Tennessee 166,000 Target, Just for Feet Lions Head Village Nashville, Tennessee 93,000 Steinmart, Carmike Cinema Meridian Mall Lansing (Oskemos), 767,000 JCPenney, Service Merchandise, Michigan Mervyn's, Dayton-Hudson Janesville Mall Janesville, Wisconsin 609,000 JCPenney, Sears, Kohl's, Boston Store Parkway City Mall Huntsville, Alabama 415,000 Parisian, McRae's The Company currently has approximately 2,000,000 square feet under construction consisting of: Project Name Location Total GLA Opening Date - ---------------------------- ---------------------------- -------------- --------------- Arbor Place Atlanta (Douglasville), Georgia 1,035,000 October 13, 1999 The Landing at Arbor Place Atlanta (Douglasville), Georgia 163,000 July 1999 Sand Lake Corners Phase II Orlando, Florida 423,000 April 1999 Lakeshore Mall Sears Sebring, Florida 92,000 June 1998 Fiddler's Run Morganton, North Carolina 203,000 March 17, 1999 Regal Cinema Jacksonville, Florida 84,000 October 1999 -47- The Company has also 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 capital commitments. It is management's expectation that the Company will continue to have access to the capital resources necessary to expand and grow 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 activity 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. OTHER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Management prepares an annual capital expenditure budget for each property which is intended to provide for all necessary recurring capital improvements and maintenance items. Management believes that its annual operating reserve for maintenance and recurring capital improvements as well as reimbursements from tenants will provide the necessary funding for such requirements. The Company intends to distribute approximately 65% to 90% of its funds from operations with the remaining 10% to 35% to be held as a reserve for capital expenditures and continued growth opportunities. Major tenant finish costs for currently vacant space are expected to be funded with working capital, operating reserves, or revolving lines of credit, and a return on the funds so invested is expected to be earned. For the year ended December 31, 1998, revenue generating capital expenditures, or tenant allowances for improvements, were $8.1 million. These capital expenditures generate a return by increased rents from these tenants over the term of their leases. Revenue enhancing capital expenditures, or remodeling and renovation costs, were $8.4 million, the majority of which was for the renovation of Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Revenue neutral capital expenditures, such as parking lot and roof repairs, which are recovered from the tenants, were $5.1 million in 1998. 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. However, certain environmental conditions are being evaluated at the recently acquired Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama. There appears to be a high potential for adverse environmental conditions, specifically Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, in the vicinity of an auto service center which had underground storage tanks. The Company has ordered additional engineering studies and as part of the redevelopment is proceeding to correct the environmental conditions at the site. 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. -48- Cash Flows Cash flows provided by operating activities for 1998 increased by $28.2 million, or 46.5%, to $89.1 million from $60.9 million in 1997. This increase was primarily due to the cash provided from the operations of twelve new centers and the acquisition of fourteen centers in the last twenty-four months. Cash flows used in investing activities for 1998 increased by $325.4 million, or 132.4%, to $571.3 million compared to $245.9 million in 1997. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of eleven centers in 1998 and the Company's development program partially offset by a draw on escrow funds in January 1998. Cash flows provided by financing activities for 1998 increased by $301.1 million, or 163.7%, to $484.9 million from $183.9 million in 1997. This increase is primarily due to increased borrowings related to the development and acquisition programs partially offset by the proceeds from the June 1998 preferred stock offering which were used to pay down borrowings under the Company's credit facilities. 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 tenants' 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 from 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. Year 2000 The Year 2000 problem results from the use of a two digit year date instead of a four digit date in the programs that operate computers, information processing technology and systems and other devices (i.e. non- information processing systems such as elevators, utility monitoring systems and time clocks that use computer chips). Systems with a Year 2000 problem have programs that were written to assume that the first two digits for any date used in the program would always be "19". Unless corrected, this assumption may result in computer programs misinterpreting the date January 1, 2000 as January 1, 1900. This could cause systems to incorrectly process critical financial and operational information, generate erroneous information or fail altogether. The Company's State of Readiness For Year 2000 - The Company has completed a program to identify both its information and non-information processing applications that are not year 2000 compliant. As a result of this identification program, the Company believes that its core accounting applications and the majority of non-information processing applications are year 2000 compliant. Certain of its other information and non- information processing applications were not yet year 2000 compliant. The Company corrected or replaced all non-compliant systems and applications including embedded systems, by the end of 1998. The Company has initiated communications with its significant suppliers and tenants to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to the failure of such parties to correct their year 2000 compliance issues. In -49- addition, the Company has formed a Year 2000 Committee that includes senior personnel from most areas of the Company. These people are charged with the duty of determining the extent of the Company's ongoing exposure and taking the appropriate action to minimize any impact on the Company's operations. Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issue - The Company does not expect to incur any significant costs to ensure the compliance of all information processing systems and non-information processing systems including embedded systems. Risks Relating to The Year 2000 Issue And Contingency Plans - Although the Company is not currently aware of any specific significant Year 2000 problems involving third party vendors or suppliers, the Company believes that its most significant potential risk relating to the Year 2000 issue is in regard to such third parties. For example, the Company believes there could be failure in the information systems of certain service providers that the Company relies upon for electrical, telephone and data transmission and banking services. The Company believes that any service disruption with respect to these providers due to a Year 2000 issue would be of a short-term nature. The Company has existing back-up systems and procedures, developed primarily for natural disasters, that could be utilized on a short-term basis to address any service interruptions. In addition, with respect to tenants, a failure of their information systems could delay the payment of rents or even impair their ability to operate. These tenant problems are likely to be isolated and would likely not impact the operations of any particular shopping center or the Company as a whole. While it is not possible at this time to determine the likely impact of any of these potential problems, the Company will continue to evaluate these areas and develop additional contingency plans, as appropriate. Therefore, although the Company believes that its Year 2000 issues have been addressed and that suitable remediation and/or contingency procedures will be in place by December 31, 1999, there can be no assurance that Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 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. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. A company may also implement SFAS No. 133 as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998 and thereafter). SFAS No. 133 cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS No. 133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantialy modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the company's election, before January 1, 1998). -50- The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its financial statements and has not determined the timing or method of adoption of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income. 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 property depreciation, other non-cash items (consisting of the write-off of costs associated with development projects not being pursued), gains or losses on sales of real estate assets and gains or losses on investments in marketable securities. The cost of interest rate caps and finance costs on the Company's lines of credit are amortized and included in interest expense and, therefore, reduces FFO. FFO also includes the Company's share of FFO in unconsolidated properties and excludes minority interests' share of FFO in consolidated properties. 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 Company). Management also believes that FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of REITs and provides a relevant basis for comparison among Companies. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as, defined by generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash from operations available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income for purposes of evaluating the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In 1998, FFO increased by $17.1 million, or 22.3%, to $93.6 million as compared to $76.5 million in 1997. The increase in FFO was primarily attributable to the continuing increase in revenues and income from operations from new developments and acquisitions. Beginning with the first quarter of 1998 the Company amended its calculation of FFO to include straight line rents in accordance with NAREIT's, definition of FFO. The Company has restated prior years' FFO to conform with the revised calculation. The Company excludes outparcel sales (which would have added $4.0 million in 1998) from its FFO calculation, even though the NAREIT definition allows their inclusion. -51- The Company's calculation of FFO is as follows (in thousands except per share data): Three Months Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, --------------------- --------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- -------- Income from operations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 14,810 $ 12,336 $ 51,639 $ 42,404 ADD: Depreciation and amortization from consolidated properties. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13,013 8,669 43,547 32,308 Income from operations of unconsolidated affiliates . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 690 402 2,379 1,916 Depreciation and amortization from unconsolidated affiliates . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 370 341 1,427 1,334 Write-off of development costs charged to net income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - 285 122 330 SUBTRACT: Minority investors' share of income from operations in ten properties . . . . . . . . . . .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of regional shopping malls and community centers, primarily in the southeast and select markets in northeast and midwest regions of the United States. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc., which are the sole general partner and majority owner of the Operating Partnership respectively. As a result, the Company conducts its business through the Operating Partnership, which at December 31, 1998, owns controlling interests in a portfolio of properties consisting of twenty-four regional malls, thirteen associated centers, each of which is part of a regional shopping mall complex, two power centers, eighty community centers and one office building. Additionally, the Operating Partnership owns noncontrolling interests in four regional malls and one associated center. The Operating Partnership has one mall, one associated center, one power center and two community centers currently under construction and has options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties. At December 31, 1998, CBL Holdings I, Inc. owned a 2.6% general partnership interest and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 65.1% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership for a combined interest held by the Company of 67.7%. The minority interest in the Operating Partnership is held primarily by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively "CBL") who contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in connection with the formation of the Operating Partnership in November 1993. At December 31, 1998, CBL owns a 25.8% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (Note 9). In January 1997, the Company completed a spot offering of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock at $26.125 per share. The net proceeds of $74.3 million were used to repay variable rate indebtedness incurred in the Company's development and acquisition programs. In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000 shares of 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a price to the public of $25.00 per share, including 715,875 shares purchased by an affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank. The net proceeds of $70 million were used to repay variable rate indebtedness incurred in the Company's development and acquisition programs. The dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue from the date of issue and are payable quarterly in arrears commencing on September 30, 1998 at a rate of $2.25 per share per annum. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not redeemable prior to July 1, 2003. On or after July 1,2003 the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid. To comply with certain technical requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Operating Partnership carries out the Company's property management and development activities through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company"). The Operating Partnership holds 100% of the preferred stock and 5% of the common stock of the Management Company, with CBL holding the remaining 95% of the common stock. Through the ownership of the preferred stock, the Operating Partnership receives substantially all of the cash flow, and therefore enjoys substantially all of the economic benefits of the Management Company's operations. Due to the Company's ability, as sole general partner, to control the Operating Partnership and Operating Partnership's rights to substantially all of the economic benefits of the Management Company, the accounts of each -68- entity are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Management Company are referred to collectively as the "Company". All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated presentation. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Real Estate Assets Costs directly related to the development of real estate assets, including overhead costs directly attributable to property development, are capitalized. Interest costs incurred during the development and construction period are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis generally over forty years for buildings and improvements and seven to ten years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flow of such asset is less than its carrying value. Management believes that no material impairment existed at December 31, 1998, and accordingly, no loss was recognized. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and cash equivalent investments with original maturities of three months or less, primarily consisting of demand deposits in banks. Cash in Escrow Cash in escrow includes cash deposited in escrow accounts which is to be used for the purchase of specific real estate assets. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing and are being amortized over the terms of the respective mortgage notes payable. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written off when mortgage notes payable are retired before the maturity date. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue attributable to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay additional rent if sales volume exceeds specified amounts. The Company -69- recognizes this additional rent as revenue when such amounts become determinable. A substantial portion of the Company's rental income is derived from various national and regional retail companies. Tenant Reimbursements The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs consist of real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the costs are incurred. Management, Development and Leasing Fees Management fees are charged as a percentage of rentals and are recognized as revenue as they are earned. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases. These fees are recognized as revenues as they are earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the development period. Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets Gain on sales of real estate assets are recognized at the time title to the asset is transferred to the buyer, subject to the adequacy of the buyer's initial and continuing investment and the assumption by the buyer of all future ownership risks of the property. Income Taxes The Company is qualified as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 through 860 of the Code and applicable treasury regulations. In order to maintain qualification as a real estate investment trust, the Company is required to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other asset and income tests as well as other requirements. As a real estate investment trust, the Company will generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes. Thus, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a real estate investment trust, 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 income. State income taxes were not significant in 1998, 1997 and 1996. Derivative Financial Instruments Interest rate cap and swap agreements, which are principally used by the Company in the management of interest rate exposure, are accounted for on an accrual basis. Amounts to be paid or received under interest rate cap and swap agreements are recorded in interest expense in the period in which they accrue. See Note 7 for additional information. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's tenants consist of national, regional and local retailers. Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of tenant receivables. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of tenants. -70- Earnings Per Common Share Effective for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share ("EPS") and fully diluted EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS, respectively. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of unrestricted common shares outstanding for the period. Similar to fully diluted EPS, diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalent shares outstanding. The limited partners' rights to convert their minority interest in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive (Note 9). The difference in basic and diluted EPS was due to the assumed conversion of outstanding stock options and restricted stock resulting in 261,000, 256,000 and 132,000 potential dilutive common shares in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. All prior period EPS data have been restated. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25). Effective in 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure option of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 requires companies that do not choose to account for stock-based compensation as prescribed by the statement to disclose the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. Additionally, certain other disclosures are required with respect to stock-based compensation and the assumptions used to determine the pro forma effects of SFAS No. 123. See Note 11 for the required disclosures. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES The Company has investments in five partnerships and joint ventures, all of which are reflected on the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and consist of the following at December 31, 1998: Partnership Property Name Company's Interest Governor's Square IB Governor's Plaza 49.0% Governor's Square Company Governor's Square 47.5% Madison Square Associates, Ltd.

A prepayment penalty of approximately $1,727,000 was incurred in connection with the refinancing. The Company's share of this prepayment penalty has been reflected as extraordinary loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. In general, contributions and distributions of capital or cash flows and allocations of income and expense are made on a pro rata basis in proportion to the equity interest held by each general or limited partner. -72- 4.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. They are used to manage well defined interest rate risks. Under interest rate swap agreements, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional amount. Under these agreements, the Company receives interest payments at a rate equal to LIBOR (5.63% at December 31, 1998) and pays interest at fixed rates shown below. -74- The Company has the following interest rate swaps in place at December 31, 1998, totaling $314 million: Fixed Notional Amount LIBOR Effective Expiration (in millions) Component Date Date - --------------- --------- --------- ---------- $65 5.72% 01/05/98 01/07/2000 81 5.54% 02/04/98 02/04/2000 50 5.52% 06/11/98 06/12/2001 38 5.73% 06/26/98 06/30/2001 80 5.49% 08/27/98 09/01/2001 The Company has two $100 million interest rate caps on LIBOR based variable rate debt, one at 7.0% for 1998 and one at 7.5% for 1999. The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its interest rate swap and cap agreements and nonderivative financial assets but has no off-balance sheet credit risk of accounting loss. The Company anticipates, however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 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. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. A company may also implement SFAS No. 133 as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998 and thereafter). SFAS No. 133 cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS No. 133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the company's election, before January 1, 1998). The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its financial statements and has not determined the timing or method of adoption of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income. 8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrow, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage notes receivable is a reasonable estimation of fair value. The carrying value of mortgage and other notes payable, based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company, is a reasonable estimation of fair value at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The fair value of the interest rate -75- swap and cap agreements, which represents the cash requirement if the existing agreements had been settled at year end, was not significant at December 31, 1998 and 1997. 9. CONVERSION RIGHTS Pursuant to the Operating Partnership agreement, the limited partners were granted rights to convert their limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock, subject to certain limits, and to sell to the Company after November 3, 1996 part or all of their limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership in exchange for shares of common stock or their cash equivalent at the Company's election, as defined. The Operating Partnership purchased properties from CBL in exchange for 63,904 and 67,850 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership during 1998 and 1997, respectively. During 1998, the Operating Partnership issued 2,749,888 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership valued at $68.3 million to third parties in exchange for seven properties. In July 1998, the Company purchased 122,008 limited partnership units valued at $3.0 million from a former executive and minority limited partner in the Operating Partnership. Also during 1998, a third party converted 388,022 limited partnership units to common stock. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, there remained outstanding rights to convert CBL's minority interest in the Operating Partnership to 9,417,752 and 9,475,875 shares of common stock, respectively. At December 31, 1998, there remained outstanding rights to convert third party minority interests in the Operating Partnership to 2,361,866 shares of common stock. 10. 401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN The Management Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code to cover employees of the Management Company. All employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed at least one year of service are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides for employer matching contributions on behalf of each participant equal to 50% of the portion of such participant's contribution which does not exceed 2.5% of such participant's compensation for the plan year. Additionally, the Management Company has the discretion to make additional profit-sharing-type contributions not related to participant elective contributions. Total contributions by the Management Company were not significant for 1998, 1997, and 1996. 11. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN The Company maintains the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which permits the issuance of stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and directors of the Company, up to 2,800,000 shares of common stock. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Stock options issued under the Plan allow for the purchase of common stock at the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Stock options granted to officers and employees under the Plan vest and become exercisable in installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options granted to directors are fully vested upon grant, but may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in any manner during the director's term or for one year thereafter. -76- The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under APB No. 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options granted as all employee options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. For SFAS No. 123 purposes, the fair value of each employee option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Sholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively: 1998 1997 1996 --------- --------- --------- Risk-free interest rate 5.90% 6.73% 6.53% Dividend yield 8.09% 7.87% 7.64% Expected volatility 16.00% 16.00% 16.00% Expected life 7.2 years 7.0 years 6.5 years Using these assumptions, the fair value of the employee stock options granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996 is $468,000, $860,000 and $965,000, respectively, which would be amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123, utilizing the assumptions detailed above, the Company's pro forma net income and net income per share would have been as follows for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively: 1998 1997 1996 --------- --------- --------- Net income available to common shareholders (in thousands): As reported $ 37,265 $ 34,941 $ 34,423 Pro forma 36,692 34,442 34,117 Net income per share: Basic as reported $ 1.55 $ 1.46 $ 1.65 Pro forma basic 1.52 1.44 1.63 Diluted as reported 1.53 1.45 1.64 Pro forma diluted 1.51 1.43 1.62 The pro forma effect on net income in this disclosure is not representative of the pro forma effect on net income in future years because it does not take into consideration pro forma compensation expense related to grants made prior to 1995. -77- A summary of the Company's stock option activity for 1998, 1997, and 1996 is as follows: Weighted- Average Shares Option Price Exercise Price ---------- ------------------- -------------- Outstanding at December 31, 1995 910,400 $19.5625 - $21.6250 19.61 Granted 582,000 $20.5000 - $25.6250 20.52 Exercised (93,800) $19.5625 - $21.6250 19.60 ---------- Outstanding at December 31, 1996 1,398,600 $19.5625 - $25.6250 19.99 Granted 539,000 $23.6250 23.63 Exercised (55,600) $19.5625 - $20.5000 19.95 Lapsed (190,400) $19.5625 - $23.6250 20.26 ---------- Outstanding at December 31, 1997 1,691,600 $19.5625 - $25.6250 19.99 Granted 319,000 $24.0940 - $25.5938 24.10 Exercised (87,350) $19.5625 - $25.6250 20.52 ---------- Outstanding at December 31, 1998 1,923,250 $19.5625 - $25.6250 $21.64 ========= The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1998, 1997, and 1996 was $1.49, $1.84 and $1.66, respectively. Shares subject to options outstanding at December 31, 1998 have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 7.5 years. Of the options outstanding at December 31, 1998, 653,450 are currently exercisable with a weighted- average exercise price of $20.35 per share. Under the Plan, common stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other stock awards granted under the Plan. The Committee has the authority to determine eligible persons to whom common stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded and the duration of the vesting period, as defined. During 1998, the Company issued 37,333 shares of common stock under the Plan with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $25.19 per share, of which 10,789 shares of common stock were immediately vested. The remaining 26,544 shares of common stock vest at various dates from 1999 to 2003. During 1997, the Company issued 31,745 shares of common stock under the Plan with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $24.86 per share, of which 13,483 shares of common stock were immediately vested. The remaining 18,262 shares of common stock vest at various dates from 1998 to 1999. During 1996, the Company issued 26,780 shares of common stock under the Plan with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $23.35 per share, of which 12,391 shares of common stock were immediately vested. The remaining 14,389 shares of common stock vest at various dates from 1997 to 1999. Deferred compensation related to the common stock issued under the Plan is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders' equity based on the market value of the common stock at the date of grant and is amortized ratably over the period the awards vest. -78- 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS CBL and certain officers of the Company have a significant minority interest in the construction company that has been engaged by the Company in the building of substantially all of the properties. The Management Company provides management and leasing services to affiliated partnerships and joint ventures not controlled by the Company. Revenue recognized for these services amounted to $1,034,000 in 1998, $837,000 in 1997, and $1,537,000 in 1996. A company that provides security, maintenance, cleaning services and background music for certain of the real estate properties was majority owned by officers of the Company during a portion of 1997. The company was sold to an independent third party in 1997. Expenses related to these services were not significant in 1997 and 1996. An insurance agency that has served as agent with respect to the placing of insurance on certain of the real estate properties was majority owned by certain employees of the Management Company at December 31, 1996. Total insurance premiums paid by the Company to the related insurance agency were $2,229,000 in 1996. Due to a change in insurance agent, no premiums were paid in 1998 or 1997 to this agency. 13. COMMITMENTS AND 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 exposure related to environmental cleanup will be immaterial to the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations of the Company. The Company has entered into standby purchase agreements with third-party developers (the "Developers") for the construction, development and potential ownership of four community centers in Georgia and Texas (the "Co-Development Projects"). The Developers have utilized these standby purchase agreements to assist in obtaining financing to fund the construction of the Co-Development Projects. The standby purchase agreements, which expire in 1999 and 2000, are dependent upon certain completion requirements, rental levels, the inability of the Developers to obtain adequate permanent financing and the inability to sell the Co-Development Project before the Company has to fund their equity contribution or purchase the Co-Development Project. In return for its commitment to purchase a Co-Development Project pursuant to a standby purchase agreement, the Company receives a fee as well as a participation interest in each Co-Development Project. The outstanding amount of standby purchase agreements at December 31, 1998 is $116.4 million. -79- 14.
