                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

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

         The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read
         in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
         related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended December 31, 1998. In the opinion of management, all
         adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
         a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods
         have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The
         accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 has
         been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not
         include all disclosure required by GAAP.

         Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1998 consolidated
         financial statements to conform to the 1999 financial statement
         presentation.

         In March 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"),
         through its Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), concluded based on
         EITF 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate
         Property Acquisitions," that all internal costs to source, analyze and
         close acquisitions should be expensed as incurred. The Company had
         historically capitalized these costs in accordance with GAAP. The
         Company adopted the FASB's interpretation effective March 19, 1998.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
         Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was initially to become
         effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements for
         periods beginning January 1, 2000. The new standard requires companies
         to record derivatives on the balance sheet, measured at fair value.
         Changes in the fair value of those derivatives will be accounted for
         based on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge
         accounting. The key criteria for use of hedge accounting is whether the
         hedging relationship is highly effective in achieving offsetting
         changes in fair value or cash flows. The Company has not yet determined
         when it will implement SFAS 133 nor has it completed the complex
         analysis required to determine the impact of SFAS 133 on its
         consolidated financial statements.

         In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative
         Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of
         FASB Statement No. 133," which delays the implementation of SFAS 133
         for the Company's consolidated financial statements to January 1, 2001.

         Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

         During 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
         Share." The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net
         income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
         the nine and three months ending September 30, 1999 and 1998. The
         computation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of
         outstanding restricted stock and common stock options calculated using
         the treasury stock method. The convertible debentures and convertible
         preferred stock were not included in the calculation since the effect
         of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The Operating Partnership
         units ("OP units") not held by the Company have been included in the
         diluted EPS calculation since they are redeemable on a one-for-one
         basis for common stock. The following table reconciles the basic and
         diluted earnings per share calculation:

2.       ORGANIZATION:

         The Company is involved in the acquisition, ownership, redevelopment,
         management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers
         located throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general
         partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The
         Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
         "Operating Partnership"). The Operating Partnership owns or has an
         ownership interest in 48 regional shopping centers and five community
         shopping centers aggregating approximately 41 million square feet of
         gross leasable area. These 53 regional and community shopping centers
         are referred to hereinafter as the "Centers", unless the context
         otherwise requires. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed
         real estate investment trust ("REIT") and conducts all of its
         operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company's three
         management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, a
         California corporation, Macerich Manhattan Management Company, a
         California corporation, and Macerich Management Company, a California
         corporation (collectively, the "Management Companies").

         The Company was organized to qualify as a REIT under the Internal
         Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 22% limited partnership interest
         of the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company is reflected in
         these financial statements as minority interest.

         COMPANIES, CONTINUED:

         The Company accounts for the Management Companies and joint ventures
         using the equity method of accounting.

         On February 27, 1998, the Company, through SDG Macerich Properties,
         L.P., a 50/50 joint venture with an affiliate of Simon Property Group,
         Inc., acquired a portfolio of twelve regional malls. The properties in
         the portfolio comprise 10.7 million square feet and are located in
         eight states. The total purchase price was $974,500, which included
         $485,000 of assumed debt, at market value. The Company's share of the
         cash component of the purchase price was funded by issuing $100,000 of
         Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock ("Series A Preferred
         Stock"), $80,000 of common stock and borrowing the balance from the
         Company's line of credit. Each of the joint venture partners have
         assumed leasing and management responsibilities for six of the regional
         malls.

         On February 18, 1999, the Company, through a 51/49 joint venture with
         Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("Ontario Teachers") closed on the
         first phase of a two phase acquisition of a portfolio of properties.
         The phase one closing included the acquisition of three regional malls,
         the retail component of a mixed-use development, five contiguous
         properties and two non-contiguous community shopping centers comprising
         approximately 3.6 million square feet for a total purchase price of
         approximately $427,000. The purchase price was funded with a $120,000
         loan placed concurrently with the closing, $140,400 of debt from an
         affiliate of the seller, and $39,400 of assumed debt. The balance of
         the purchase price was paid in cash. The Company's share of the cash
         component was funded with the proceeds from two refinancings of Centers
         and borrowings under the Company's line of credit. On July 12, 1999,
         the Company closed on the second phase of the acquisition. The second
         phase consisted of the acquisition of the office component of the
         mixed-use development for a purchase price of approximately $111,000.
         The purchase price was funded with a $76,700 loan placed concurrently
         with the closing and the balance was paid in cash. The Company's share
         of the cash component was funded from borrowings under the Company's
         line of credit.

         On June 2, 1999, Macerich Cerritos, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
         Macerich Management Company, acquired Los Cerritos Center in Cerritos,
         California. The total purchase price was $188,000, which was funded
         with $120,000 of debt placed concurrently with the closing and a
         $70,800 loan from the Company. The Company funded this loan from
         borrowings under a $60,000 bank loan agreement and the balance from the
         Company's line of credit.

         The results of these joint ventures and the Management Companies are
         included for the period subsequent to their respective dates of
         acquisition.

         On October 27, 1999, Albany Plaza, a 145,462 square foot community
         center, which was owned 51% by the Management Companies, was sold.

         On November 12, 1999, Eastland Plaza, a 65,313 square foot community
         center, which was owned 51% by the Management Companies, was sold.

         Significant accounting policies used by the unconsolidated joint
         ventures and the Management Companies are similar to those used by the
         Company.

         Included in mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of
         Northwestern Mutual Life ("NML") of $152,558 and $74,612 for the
         periods ended September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
         NML is considered a related party because it is a joint venture partner
         with the Company in Macerich Northwestern Associates. Interest expense
         incurred on these borrowings amounted to $4,710 and $2,540 for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively; and $2,245 and
         $1,057 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively.

         (a)      This note was issued at a discount. The discount is being
                  amortized over the life of the loan using the effective
                  interest method. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998
                  the unamortized discount was $372 and $397, respectively.

         (b)      This loan is cross collateralized by Green Tree Mall,
                  Crossroads Mall-Oklahoma and the Centre at Salisbury.

         (c)      On August 15, 1995, the Company issued $127,000 of
                  collateralized fixed rate notes (the "Notes"). The Notes bear
                  interest at an average fixed rate of 7.20% and mature in July
                  2005. The Notes require the Company to deposit all cash flow
                  from the property operations with a trustee to meet its
                  obligations under the Notes. Cash in excess of the required
                  amount, as defined, is released. Included in cash and cash
                  equivalents is $750 of restricted cash deposited with the
                  trustee at September 30, 1999 and at December 31, 1998.

5.       MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED:

         (d)      This represents the monthly payment of principal and interest.

         (e)      This amount represents the monthly payment of principal and
                  interest. In addition, contingent interest, as defined in the
                  loan agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the
                  amount by which the property's gross receipts (as defined in
                  the loan agreement) exceeds a base amount specified therein.
                  Contingent interest expense recognized by the Company was $192
                  and $52 for the nine and three months ended September 30,
                  1999, respectively; and $234 and $234 for the nine and three
                  months ended September 30, 1998.

         (f)      At December 31, 1998, a $65,100 loan was outstanding which
                  bore interest at LIBOR plus 0.45%. There was an interest rate
                  protection agreement in place on the first $10,200 of this
                  debt with a LIBOR ceiling of 5.88% through maturity with the
                  remaining principal having an interest rate cap with a LIBOR
                  ceiling of 7.07% through 1997 and 7.7% thereafter. The $65,100
                  loan was paid in full on February 4, 1999 and refinanced with
                  a new loan of $100,000, with interest at 6.88%, maturing in
                  2009. The Company incurred a loss on early extinguishment of
                  the old debt in 1999 of $163.

         (g)      Included in cash and cash equivalents is $1,258 and $3,048 at
                  September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, of
                  cash restricted under the terms of this loan agreement.

         (h)      The old note of $28,795 was assumed at acquisition. At the
                  time of acquisition in June 1998, this debt was recorded at
                  fair market value and the premium was amortized as interest
                  expense over the life of the loan using the effective interest
                  method. The monthly debt service payment was $348 per month
                  and was calculated based on a 12.5% interest rate. At December
                  31, 1998, the unamortized premium was $6,165. On February 17,
                  1999, the loan was paid in full and was refinanced with a new
                  loan of $65,000, with interest at 8.22%, maturing in 2009. The
                  Company incurred a loss on early extinguishment of the old
                  debt in 1999 of $810.

         (i)      On April 30, 1999, the old loan of $25,000 was paid in full
                  and was refinanced with a new loan of $29,000, with a fixed
                  interest rate of 8.18%, maturing May 1, 2009.

         (j)      The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. On October 8,
                  1999, the loan was paid in full and was refinanced with a new
                  loan of $72,000 at a fixed rate of 7.75%, maturing November 1,
                  2009.

         (k)      Reflects the Company's pro rata share of debt.

         (l)      In connection with the acquisition of this Center, the joint
                  venture assumed $39,425 of debt. At acquisition, this debt was
                  recorded at fair market value of $41,475, which included an
                  unamortized premium of $2,050. This premium is being amortized
                  as interest expense over the life of the loan using the
                  effective interest method. The joint venture's monthly debt
                  service is $349 and is calculated based on an 8.60% interest
                  rate. At September 30, 1999, the joint venture's unamortized
                  premium was $1,501.

5.       MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED:

         (m)      In connection with the acquisition of these Centers, the joint
                  venture assumed $485,000 of mortgage notes payable which are
                  secured by the properties. At acquisition, this debt reflected
                  a fair market value of $322,700, which included an unamortized
                  premium of $22,700. This premium is being amortized as
                  interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective
                  interest method. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
                  the unamortized balance of the debt premium was $19,159 and
                  $20,900, respectively. This debt is due in May 2006 and
                  requires monthly payments of $926. $185,000 of this debt is
                  due in May 2003 and requires monthly interest payments at a
                  variable weighted average rate (based on LIBOR) of 5.77% and
                  6.03% at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
                  respectively. This variable rate debt is covered by an
                  interest rate cap agreement which effectively prevents the
                  interest rate from exceeding 11.53%.

         (n)      On January 4, 1999, the joint venture replaced the old debt
                  with a new loan of $40,000. The loan has an interest rate of
                  6.52% and matures February 2019. The debt is interest only
                  until January 2001 at which time monthly payments of principal
                  and interest will be due of $299.

         (o)      Concurrent with the acquisition, the joint venture placed
                  $76,700 of debt and obtained a construction loan for an
                  additional $16,000. Principal is drawn on the construction
                  loan as costs are incurred. As of September 30, 1999, $2,302
                  of principal has been drawn under the construction loan.

         The Company periodically enters into treasury lock agreements in order
         to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on anticipated
         financings. Under these agreements, the Company pays or receives an
         amount equal to the difference between the treasury lock rate and the
         market rate on the date of settlement, based on the notional amount of
         the hedge. The realized gain or loss on the contracts is recorded on
         the balance sheet in other assets and amortized as interest expense
         over the period of the hedged loans.

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

         Total interest capitalized during the nine and three months ended
         September 30, 1999 was $4,533 and $1,793, respectively; and total
         interest capitalized during the nine and three months ended September
         30, 1998 was $2,201 and $730, respectively.

         The market value of mortgage notes payable for the wholly-owned Centers
         at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 is estimated to be
         approximately $1,227,815 and $1,271,853, respectively, based on current
         interest rates for comparable loans.

6.       BANK AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED:

         The Company has a credit facility of $150,000 with a maturity of
         February 2000, which can be extended to February 2001, currently
         bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.15%. The interest rate on such credit
         facility fluctuates between 0.95% and 1.15% over LIBOR. As of September
         30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, $134,500 and $137,000 of borrowings
         were outstanding under this line of credit at interest rates of 6.59%
         and 6.79%, respectively. As of November 12, 1999, $52,400 was
         outstanding under this line of credit.

         On May 28, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for
         a term loan of $60,000. The interest rate on such loan is at LIBOR plus
         3.0% and matures with extension on February 26, 2000. As of September
         30, 1999, $60,000 was outstanding at a total interest rate of 8.0%. On
         October 28, 1999, the entire $60,000 loan was paid off.

         Additionally, the Company issued $776 in letters of credit guaranteeing
         performance by the Company of certain obligations. The Company does not
         believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the
         Company.

         During January 1999, the Company entered into a bank construction loan
         agreement to fund $89,200 of costs related to the redevelopment of
         Pacific View. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures
         in February 2001. Principal is drawn as construction costs are
         incurred. As of September 30, 1999, $52,151 of principal has been drawn
         under the loan.

         In addition, the Company has a note payable of $30,600 due in February
         2000 payable to the seller of the acquired portfolio. The note bears
         interest at 6.5%.

7.       CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES:

         During 1997, the Company issued and sold $161,400 of convertible
         subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") due 2002. The Debentures,
         which were sold at par, bear interest at 7.25% annually (payable
         semi-annually) and are convertible at any time, on or after 60 days,
         from the date of issue at a conversion price of $31.125 per share. The
         Debentures mature on December 15, 2002 and are callable by the Company
         after June 15, 2002 at par plus accrued interest.

8.       RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         The Company engaged the Management Companies to manage the operations
         of its properties and certain unconsolidated joint ventures. For the
         nine and three months ending September 30, 1999, management fees of
         $2,439 and $818 respectively, and for the nine and three months ended
         September 30, 1998, management fees of $1,968 and $718, respectively,
         were paid to the Management Companies by the Company.

         Certain mortgage notes are held by one of the Company's joint venture
         partners. Interest expense in connection with these notes was $7,559
         and $7,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively; and $2,506 and $2,784 for the three months ending

8.       RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED:

         Additionally, the Company has notes receivable due from the Management
         Companies of $76,937 related to acquisitions made by the Management
         Companies in 1999. These notes are interest only at a rate of 7.0% and
         mature in 2009. These notes receivable are included in due from
         affiliates at September 30, 1999.

         In 1997, certain executive officers received loans from the Company
         totaling $5,500. These loans are full recourse to the executives.
         $5,000 of the loans were issued under the terms of the employee stock
         incentive plan, bear interest at 7%, are due in 2007 and are secured by
         the Company common stock owned by the executives. The remaining loan is
         non interest bearing and is forgiven ratably over a five year term.
         These loans receivable are included in other assets at September 30,
         1999 and December 31, 1998.

         Certain Company officers and affiliates have guaranteed mortgages of
         $21,750 at one of the Company's joint venture properties and $2,000 at
         Greeley Mall.

9.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

         The Company has certain properties subject to noncancellable operating
         ground leases. The leases expire at various times through 2070, subject
         in some cases to options to extend the terms of the lease. Certain
         leases provide for contingent rent payments based on a percentage of
         base rental income, as defined. Ground rent expenses were $684 and $760
         for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively;
         and $228 and $115 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
         1998, respectively. There were no contingent rents in either period.

         Perchloroethylene (PCE) has been detected in soil and groundwater in
         the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza,
         formerly owned by a joint venture of which the Company was a 50%
         member. The property was sold on December 18, 1997. The California
         Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) advised the Company in
         1995 that very low levels of Dichloroethylene (1,2 DCE), a degradation
         byproduct of PCE, had been detected in a municipal water well located
         1/4 mile west of the dry cleaners, and that the dry cleaning facility
         may have contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE into the water
         well. According to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,2
         DCE which is permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per billion (ppb).
         The 1,2 DCE was detected in the water well at a concentration of 1.2
         ppb, which is below the MCL. The Company has retained an environmental
         consultant and has initiated extensive testing of the site. Remediation
         began in October 1997. The joint venture agreed (between itself and the
         buyer) that it would be responsible for continuing to pursue the
         investigation and remediation of impacted soil and groundwater
         resulting from releases of PCE from the former dry cleaner. $104 and
         $100 have already been incurred by the joint venture for remediation,
         and professional and legal fees for the periods ending September 30,
         1999 and 1998, respectively. An additional $304 remains reserved by the
         joint venture as of September 30, 1999. The joint venture has been
         sharing costs on a 50/50 basis with a former owner of the property and
         intends to look to additional responsible parties for recovery.

9.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED:

         Low levels of toluene, a petroleum constituent, were detected in one of
         three groundwater dewatering system holding tanks at Queens Center.
         Although the Company believes that no remediation will be required, the
         Company established a $150 reserve in 1996 to cover professional fees
         and testing costs. The Company incurred costs of $0 and $1 during the
         nine months ending September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
         Company intends to look to the responsible parties if remediation is
         required.

         The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos was
         detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Center.
         Testing data conducted by professional environmental consulting firms
         indicate that the fireproofing is largely inaccessible to building
         occupants and is well adhered to the structural members. Additionally,
         airborne concentrations of asbestos are well within OSHA's permissible
         exposure limit (PEL) of .1 fcc. The accounting for this acquisition
         includes a reserve of $3,300 to cover future removal of this asbestos,
         as necessary. The Company incurred $80 and $206 in remediation costs
         for the nine months ending September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
         An additional $2,794 remains reserved at September 30, 1999.

10.      PRO FORMA INFORMATION:

         On February 18, 1999, through a 51/49 joint venture with Ontario
         Teachers, the Company closed on the first phase of a two phase
         acquisition of a portfolio of properties. The phase one closing
         included the acquisition of three regional malls, the retail component
         of a mixed-use development, five contiguous properties and two
         non-contiguous community shopping centers comprising approximately 3.6
         million square feet for a total purchase price of approximately
         $427,000. The purchase price was funded with a $120,000 loan placed
         concurrently with the closing, $140,400 of debt from an affiliate of
         the seller, and $39,400 of assumed debt. The balance of the purchase
         price was paid in cash. The Company's share of the cash component was
         funded with the proceeds from two refinancings of Centers and
         borrowings under the Company's line of credit. On July 12, 1999, the
         Company closed on the second phase of the acquisition. The second phase
         consisted of the acquisition of the office component of the mixed-use
         development for a purchase price of approximately $111,000. The
         purchase price was funded with a $76,700 loan placed concurrently with
         the closing and the balance was paid in cash. The Company's share of
         the cash component was funded from borrowings under the Company's line
         of credit.

         On June 2, 1999, Macerich Cerritos, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
         Macerich Management Company, acquired Los Cerritos Center in Cerritos,
         California. The total purchase price was $188,000, which was funded
         with $120,000 of debt placed concurrently with the closing and a
         $70,800 loan from the Company. The Company funded this loan from
         borrowings under a $60,000 bank loan agreement and the balance from the
         Company's line of credit.

10.      PRO FORMA INFORMATION - CONTINUED:

         On a pro forma basis, reflecting these acquisitions as if they had
         occurred on January 1, 1999 and 1998, the Company would have reflected
         net income - available to common stockholders of $26,002 and $17,376
         for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
         Net income available to common stockholders on a diluted per share
         basis would be $0.77 and $0.57 for the nine months ended September 30,
         1999 and 1998, respectively.

11.      PREFERRED STOCK:

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

         On June 17, 1998, the Company issued 5,487,471 shares of Series B
         cumulative convertible preferred stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") for
         proceeds totaling $150,000 in a private placement. The preferred stock
         can be converted on a one for one basis into common stock and will pay
         a quarterly dividend equal to the greater of $0.46 per share, or the
         dividend then payable on a share of common stock.

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

12.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

         On November 10, 1999, a dividend\distribution of $0.51 per share was
         declared for common stockholders and OP unit holders of record on

         $0.51 on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and a dividend of $0.51
         on the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. All dividends/distributions
         will be payable on December 7, 1999.

         On October 26, 1999, 99% of the membership interests of Macerich
         Stonewood, LLC and Macerich Cerritos, LLC and 100% of the membership
         interests of Lakewood Mall, LLC were contributed to Pacific Premier
         Retail Trust ("PPR"), a real estate investment trust, owned
         approximately 51% by the Company and 49% by Ontario Teachers. Macerich
         Lakewood, LLC, Macerich Stonewood, LLC and Macerich Cerritos, LLC own
         Lakewood Mall, Stonewood Mall and Los Cerritos Center, respectively.
         The total value of the transaction was approximately $535,000. The
         properties were contributed to PPR subject to existing debt of
         $322,000. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $104,000
         which were used for reduction of debt and for general corporate
         purposes.

         On October 29, 1999, Macerich Santa Monica, LLC, a wholly-owned
         indirect subsidiary of the Company, acquired Santa Monica Place, a
         560,000 square foot regional mall located in Santa Monica, California.
         The total purchase price was $130,800, which was funded with $80,000 of
         debt placed concurrently with the closing with the balance funded from
         proceeds from the PPR transaction described above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

         The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated balance

         (**)     denotes the Company owns its interests in these Centers
                  through one of the Management Companies.

         The financial statements include the results of these Centers for
         periods subsequent to their acquisition.

         The properties acquired by SDG Macerich Properties, L.P., Pacific
         Premier Retail Trust and the Management Companies ("Joint Venture
         Acquisitions") are reflected using the equity method of accounting. The
         results of these acquisitions are reflected in the consolidated results
         of operations of the Company in equity in income of unconsolidated
         joint ventures and the Management Companies.

         Many of the variations in the results of operations discussed below
         occurred due to the addition of these properties to the portfolio
         during 1999 and 1998. Many factors impact the Company's ability to
         acquire additional properties; including the availability and cost of
         capital, the overall debt to market capitalization level, interest
         rates and availability of potential acquisition targets that meet the
         Company's criteria. Accordingly, management is uncertain whether during
         the balance of 1999, and in future years, there will be similar
         acquisitions and corresponding increases in revenues, net income and
         funds from operations that occurred as a result of the 1999 and 1998
         Acquisition Centers. Pacific View (formerly known as Buenaventura
         Mall), Crossroads Mall-Boulder, Huntington Center and Parklane Mall are
         currently under redevelopment and are referred to herein as the
         "Redevelopment Centers." All other Centers are referred to herein as
         the "Same Centers."

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (THE COMPANY)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

         The bankruptcy and/or closure of an Anchor, or its sale to a less
         desirable retailer, could adversely affect customer traffic in a Center
         and thereby reduce the income generated by that Center. Furthermore,
         the closing of an Anchor could, under certain circumstances, allow
         certain other Anchors or other tenants to terminate their leases or
         cease operating their stores at the Center or otherwise adversely
         affect occupancy at the Center.

         In addition, the Company's success in the highly competitive real
         estate shopping center business depends upon many other factors,
         including general economic conditions, the ability of tenants to make
         rent payments, increases or decreases in operating expenses, occupancy
         levels, changes in demographics, competition from other centers and
         forms of retailing and the ability to renew leases or relet space upon
         the expiration or termination of leases.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

         REVENUES

         Minimum and percentage rents increased by 22.6% to $164.1 million in
         1999 from $133.8 million in 1998. Approximately $24.6 million of the
         increase resulted from the 1998 Acquisition Centers and $7.5 million of
         the increase was attributable to the Same Centers. In May 1998, the
         FASB, through the EITF, modified the timing of recognition of revenue
         for percentage rent received from tenants in EITF 98-9, "Accounting for
         Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods." The Company applied this
         accounting change as of April 1, 1998. The accounting change had the
         effect of deferring $2.3 million of percentage rent in the second and
         third quarters of 1998 attributable to the Same Centers into the fourth
         quarter of 1998. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the FASB reversed
         EITF 98-9. Accordingly, the Company has resumed accounting for
         percentage rent on the accrual basis effective January 1, 1999. These
         increases were partially offset by revenue decreases at the
         Redevelopment Centers of $1.8 million in 1999.

         Tenant recoveries increased to $72.8 million in 1999 from $60.8 million
         in 1998. The 1998 Acquisition Centers generated $12.4 million of this
         increase and $0.9 million of the increase was from the Same Centers.
         These increases were partially offset by revenue decreases at the
         Redevelopment Centers of $1.3 million in 1999.

         Other income increased to $5.9 million in 1999 from $3.1 million in
         1998. Approximately $0.4 million of the increase related to the 1998
         Acquisition Centers and $2.3 million of the increase was attributable
         to the Same Centers. Included in the Same Centers increase was $1.6
         million attributable to interest income on a $70.8 million note from
         the Company to the Management Companies relating to the acquisition
         of Los Cerritos Center on June 2, 1999.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (THE COMPANY)


         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED:

         COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998, CONTINUED:

         EXPENSES

         Shopping center expenses increased to $72.5 million in 1999 compared to
         $62.1 million in 1998. Approximately $10.9 million of the increase
         resulted from the 1998 Acquisition Centers. The other Centers had a net
         decrease of $0.5 million in shopping center expenses resulting
         primarily from decreased property taxes and recoverable expenses.

         General and administrative expenses increased to $4.1 million in 1999
         from $3.1 million in 1998 primarily because of the accounting change
         required by EITF 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real
         Estate Property Acquisitions," which requires the expensing of internal
         acquisition costs. Previously in accordance with GAAP, certain internal
         acquisition costs were capitalized. The increase is also partially
         attributable to higher executive and director compensation expense.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense increased to $85.2 million in 1999 from $66.1 million
         in 1998. This increase of $19.1 million is primarily attributable to
         the acquisition activity in 1998 and 1999, which was partially funded
         with secured debt and borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

         Depreciation increased to $46.4 million from $38.9 million in 1998.
         This increase relates primarily to the 1998 Acquisition Centers.

         INCOME FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES AND MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

         The income from unconsolidated joint ventures and the Management
         Companies was $16.7 million for 1999, compared to income of $8.4
         million in 1998. A total of $4.7 million of the change is attributable
         to the 1998 acquisitions by SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. and $3.8
         million of the change is attributable to the 1999 acquisition by
         Pacific Premier Retail Trust. These increases are partially offset by a
         decrease of $0.2 million at the Management Companies.

         EXTRAORDINARY LOSS FROM  EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

         In 1999, the Company wrote off $1.0 million of unamortized financing
         costs, compared to $2.4 million written off in 1998.

         NET INCOME AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

         As a result of the foregoing, net income available to common
         stockholders increased to $27.0 million in 1999 from $18.8 million in
         1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED:

         COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998, CONTINUED:

         OPERATING ACTIVITIES

         Cash flow from operations was $97.0 million in 1999 compared to $82.8
         million in 1998. The increase is primarily because of increased net
         operating income from the 1998 and 1999 Acquisition Centers.

         INVESTING ACTIVITIES

         Cash flow used in investing activities was $228.9 million in 1999
         compared to $655.8 million in 1998. The change resulted primarily from
         the cash contributions required by the Company for the joint venture
         acquisitions of $240.2 million in 1998 compared to $88.1 million in
         1999.

         FINANCING ACTIVITIES

         Cash flow from financing activities was $130.1 million in 1999 compared
         to $564.8 million in 1998. The decrease resulted from no equity
         offerings in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to
         6,520,181 shares of common stock sold in the nine months ended
         September 30, 1998. Additionally, 9,114,602 shares of preferred stock
         were sold in the first and second quarters of 1998.

         FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

         Primarily because of the factors mentioned above, Funds from Operations
         - Diluted increased 46.9% to $118.4 million from $80.6 million in 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

         REVENUES

         Minimum and percentage rents increased by 10% to $55.0 million in 1999
         from $49.9 million in 1998. Approximately $2.4 million of the increase
         resulted from the 1998 Acquisition Centers and $3.1 million of the
         increase was attributable to the Same Centers. In May 1998, the FASB,
         through the EITF, modified the timing of recognition of revenue for
         percentage rent received from tenants in EITF 98-9, "Accounting for
         Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods." The Company applied this
         accounting change as of April 1, 1998. The accounting change had the
         effect of deferring $1.0 million of percentage rent in the third
         quarter of 1998 attributable to the Same Centers into the fourth
         quarter of 1998. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the FASB reversed
         EITF 98-9. Accordingly, the Company has resumed accounting for
         percentage rent on the accrual basis effective January 1, 1999. These
         increases were partially offset by revenue decreases at the
         Redevelopment Centers of $0.4 million in 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED:

         COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998,
         CONTINUED:

         Tenant recoveries increased to $25.5 million in 1999 from $23.9 million
         in 1998. The 1998 Acquisition Centers generated $0.2 million of this
         increase, $0.8 million of the increase was attributable to the Same
         Centers and $0.6 million related to the Redevelopment Centers.

         Other income increased to $2.7 million in 1999 from $1.2 million in
         1998. Approximately $1.4 million of the increase was attributable to
         the Same Centers and $0.1 million to the Redevelopment Centers.
         Included in the Same Centers increase was $1.2 million attributable
         to interest income on a $70.8 million note from the Company to the
         Management Companies relating to the acquisition of Los Cerritos
         Center on June 2, 1999.

         EXPENSES

         Shopping center expenses increased to $25.3 million in 1999 compared to
         $24.1 million in 1998. Approximately $0.9 million of the increase
         resulted from the 1998 Redevelopment Centers and $0.4 million of the
         increase was from the Acquisition Centers. The Same Centers had a net
         decrease of $0.1 million in shopping center expenses resulting
         primarily from decreased property taxes and recoverable expenses.

         General and administrative expenses increased to $1.2 million in 1999
         from $0.9 million in 1998 primarily due to higher executive and
         director compensation expense.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense increased to $29.8 million in 1999 from $24.9 million
         in 1998. This increase of $4.9 million is primarily attributable to the
         acquisition activity in 1998 and 1999, which was partially funded with
         secured debt and borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

         Depreciation increased to $15.9 million from $15.3 million in 1998.
         This increase relates primarily to the 1998 Acquisition Centers.

         INCOME FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES AND MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

         The income from unconsolidated joint ventures and the Management
         Companies was $6.1 million for 1999, compared to income of $2.9 million
         in 1998. A total of $1.2 million of the change is attributable to the
         1998 acquisitions by SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. and $2.0 million of
         the change is attributable to the 1999 acquisition by Pacific Premier
         Retail Trust.

         NET INCOME AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

         As a result of the foregoing, net income available to common
         stockholders increased to $9.1 million in 1999 from $4.6 million in
         1998.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (THE COMPANY)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED:

         COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998,
         CONTINUED:

         FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

         Primarily because of the factors mentioned above, Funds from Operations
         - Diluted increased 32.4% to $40.9 million from $30.9 million in 1998.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity requirements
         through cash generated from operations and working capital reserves.
         The Company anticipates that revenues will continue to provide
         necessary funds for its operating expenses and debt service
         requirements, and to pay dividends to stockholders in accordance with
         REIT requirements. The Company anticipates that cash generated from
         operations, together with cash on hand, will be adequate to fund
         capital expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants, other
         than non-recurring capital expenditures. Capital for major expenditures
         or major redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be,
         obtained from equity or debt financings which include borrowings under
         the Company's line of credit and construction loans. However, many
         factors impact the Company's ability to access capital, such as its
         overall debt to market capitalization level, interest rates, interest
         coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions. The Company currently
         is undertaking a $90 million redevelopment of Pacific View. The Company
         has a bank construction loan agreement to fund $89.2 million of these
         construction costs.

         The Company believes that it will have access to the capital necessary
         to expand its business in accordance with its strategies for growth and
         maximizing Funds from Operations. The Company presently intends to
         obtain additional capital necessary to expand its business through a
         combination of additional public and private equity offerings, debt
         financings and/or joint ventures. During 1998 and 1999, the Company
         acquired two portfolios through joint ventures with another party. The
         Company believes such joint venture arrangements provide an attractive
         alternative to other forms of financing.

         The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at September 30, 1999
         was $2.3 billion (including its pro rata share of joint venture debt).
         This equated to a debt to Total Market Capitalization (defined as total
         debt of the Company, including its pro rata share of joint venture
         debt, plus aggregate market value of outstanding shares of common
         stock, assuming full conversion of OP Units and preferred stock into
         common stock) ratio of approximately 64% at September 30, 1999. The
         Company's debt consists primarily of fixed-rate conventional mortgages
         payable secured by individual properties.

         The Company has filed a shelf registration statement, effective
         December 8, 1997, to sell securities. The shelf registration is for a
         total of $500 million of common stock, common stock warrants or common
         stock rights. During 1998, the Company sold a total of 7,920,181 shares
         of common stock under this shelf registration. The aggregate offering
         price of these transactions was approximately $212.9 million, leaving
         approximately $287.1 million available under the shelf registration
         statement.

         YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

         THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BELOW CONTAINS YEAR 2000 STATEMENTS AND IS A
         YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO PUB. L. NO. 105-271.

         YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         The Year 2000 issue is the result of many existing computer programs
         and embedded technology using two digits rather than four to define the
         applicable year. The Company's computer equipment and software and
         devices with embedded technology that are time-sensitive may recognize
         a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
         could result in system failure or erroneous data which would cause
         disruptions of operations.

         The Company has initiated a Year 2000 compliance program consisting of
         the following phases: (1) identification of Year 2000 issues; (2)
         assessment of Year 2000 compliance of systems; (3) remediation or
         replacement of non-compliant systems; (4) testing of critical systems
         to verify compliance; and (5) contingency planning, as appropriate.
         This program includes a review of both information technology ("IT")
         and non-IT systems of the centers in which the Company has an ownership
         interest and manages, excluding Santa Monica Place which was acquired
         on October 29, 1999. The Company's Year 2000 team which consists of
         management as well as operational and IT staff members is supervising
         this program.

         IT SYSTEMS

         The Company has reviewed its core computer hardware systems and
         software programs to determine if such systems and programs will
         properly process dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. Based on
         manufacturer or vendor information, the Company presently believes that
         all of its critical computer hardware systems and software programs are
         substantially Year 2000 compliant. One critical hardware system needed
         a Year 2000 upgrade which the Company installed at a cost of
         approximately $13,100. The Company recently concluded its own
         evaluation and testing and based upon such results the Company believes
         its critical hardware systems and software are substantially Year 2000
         compliant.

         The most important software program to the Company's operations is its
         property management and accounting software. The Company has been
         advised by its independent software vendor that it has completed its
         evaluation, testing and modification of this program and the necessary
         changes have been completed to achieve Year 2000 compliance. The
         Company completed its own evaluation and testing and based upon such
         testing, the Company believes that this software is substantially Year
         2000 compliant.

         YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE - CONTINUED:

         IT SYSTEMS, CONTINUED:

         The Company completed its assessment of the Year 2000 compliance of its
         non-critical computer hardware systems and software programs by its
         target date of December 31, 1998. Based on manufacturer or vendor
         information, the Company presently believes that substantially all of
         its non-critical hardware systems and software programs are Year 2000
         compliant.

         NON-IT SYSTEMS

         Part of the Company's Year 2000 program also includes a review of the
         various operating systems of each of its centers in which the Company
         has an ownership interest and manages. The main offices of the Company
         are also being reviewed for Year 2000 compliance issues. These
         operating systems typically include embedded technology which
         complicates the Company's Year 2000 efforts. Examples of these types of
         systems include energy management systems, telecommunication systems,
         elevators, security systems and copiers. The various operating systems
         have been assigned priorities based on the importance of the system to
         each property's operations and the potential impact of non-compliance.

         All of the Company's properties have completed their initial assessment
         of each system and have substantially completed the process of
         verifying Year 2000 compliance through the manufacturers and/or vendors
         of the systems. Approximately 94% of the critical operating systems at
         the centers for which the Company has received information from
         manufacturers or vendors are substantially Year 2000 compliant as
         reported by such entities. Certain critical systems, 11 energy
         management systems, five telephone systems, two fire alarm systems, one
         security alarm system, one CCTV system, one HVAC system and one
         elevator intercom system, required Year 2000 upgrades at an aggregate
         cost of approximately $60,000. Most of the Y2K upgrades have been
         successfully installed or are in process. Other non-compliant critical
         systems are being upgraded by the manufacturer at no cost to the
         Company or were previously scheduled for replacement or upgrades prior
         to January 1, 2000. With respect to approximately 8% of its critical
         operating systems at the centers, the Company has not received the
         necessary information to assess the Year 2000 compliance of such
         systems or the necessary remediation steps. The Company continues to
         contact these manufacturers/vendors to obtain the information necessary
         to complete its Year 2000 compliance assessment. The Company is also
         beginning the process of assessing the risk to the center assuming the
         system is not compliant and developing contingency plans, as
         appropriate.

         Each property prepared remediation and testing recommendations and time
         lines based on the importance of each system to the property's
         operations and information received from the manufacturer/vendor. The
         Company has been coordinating the testing phase with the
         manufacturers/vendors of the systems, as appropriate. Approximately 75%
         of the critical systems at the centers have tested successfully for
         Year 2000 compliance or are not date-sensitive. The Company continues
         to contact the vendors and manufacturers of the remaining critical
         systems for testing information and assistance and anticipates
         completion of the testing of substantially all critical operating
         systems by December 1, 1999. If such testing information and assistance
         is not provided, completion of this phase may be delayed. The Company
         expects the Year 2000 program to continue beyond January 1, 2000 with
         respect to non-critical operating systems and issues.

         MATERIAL THIRD PARTIES

         The Company mailed surveys to its material vendors, utilities and
         tenants about their plans and progress in addressing the Year 2000
         issue. Those entities surveyed include the utilities for each center
         (i.e., electric, gas, water, telephone and waste management companies),
         the largest tenants of the Company based on the amount of their 1998
         rent payments and certain Anchor tenants. As of this date, the Company
         has received responses from approximately 95% of those entities
         surveyed. Generally, the responses received state that the entity is in
         the process of addressing the Year 2000 compliance issues and expects
         to achieve compliance prior to January 1, 2000. Approximately 45% of
         those entities have indicated their mission critical systems are Year
         2000 compliant.

         COSTS

         Because the Company's assessment, remediation and testing efforts are
         ongoing, the Company is unable to estimate the total costs of achieving
         Year 2000 compliance for its IT and non-IT systems. Based on
         information received from manufacturers/vendors, the Company presently
         anticipates that the assessment and remediation costs will not be
         material. As of September 30, 1999, the Company has not expended
         significant amounts since its evaluation of Year 2000 issues has been
         primarily conducted by its own personnel. The Company does not
         separately record the internal costs incurred for its Year 2000
         compliance program. Such costs are primarily the related payroll costs
         for its personnel who are part of the Year 2000 program. Independent
         electricians conducted Year 2000 compliance reviews of the electrical
         infrastructure at each center for an aggregate cost of approximately
         $13,000.

         RISKS

         As is true of most businesses, the Company is vulnerable to external
         forces that might generally effect industry and commerce, such as
         utility company Year 2000 compliance failures and related service
         interruptions. In addition, failure of information and operating
         systems of tenants and/or failure of their respective material vendors
         to provide products and services may delay or otherwise adversely
         impact the payment of rent to the Company or impair the ability of a
         tenant to operate. Although a formal contingency plan has not yet been
         developed for dealing with the most reasonably likely worst case
         scenario, the Company has focused on the power companies serving each
         center and each center has prepared security contingency plans to deal
         with potential power failures or interruptions. The Company will
         continue to evaluate other potential areas of risk and develop
         contingency plans, as appropriate.

         Based on currently available information, the Company believes that the
         Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the
         Company. However, if all Year 2000 issues are not properly identified,
         or assessment, remediation and testing are not effected in a timely
         manner, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not
         adversely affect the Company's results of operations or its
         relationships with tenants or other third parties. Additionally, there
         can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues of third parties will not
         have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

          FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

          The Company believes that the most significant measure of its
          performance is Funds from Operations ("FFO"). FFO is defined by the
          National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to
          be: Net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding
          gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales or write-down of
          assets, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation on
          personal property and amortization of loan and financial instrument
          costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. Adjustments
          for unconsolidated entities are calculated on the same basis. FFO does
          not represent cash flow from operations, as defined by GAAP, and is
          not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
          needs. The following reconciles net income available to common
          stockholders to FFO:

         1)       Calculated based upon basic net income as adjusted to reach
                  basic FFO. Weighted average number of shares includes the
                  weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
                  for 1999 and 1998 assuming the conversion of all outstanding
                  OP units.

         2)       The computation of FFO - diluted and diluted average number of

                  stock options and restricted stock using the treasury method.
                  Convertible debentures are dilutive for the nine and three
                  months ending September 30, 1999 and therefore assumed
                  converted to equity to calculate FFO - diluted in 1999. The
                  debentures are anti-dilutive for the nine and three months
                  ending September 30, 1998 and therefore are not assumed
                  converted to equity for the period ended September 30, 1998.
                  On February 25, 1998, the Company sold $100 million of its
                  Series A Preferred Stock. On June 17, 1998, the Company sold
                  $150 million of its Series B Preferred Stock Each series of
                  preferred stock can be converted on a one for one basis for
                  common stock. These preferred shares are not assumed converted
                  for purposes of net income per share as they would be
                  anti-dilutive to that calculation. The preferred shares are
                  assumed converted for purposes of FFO diluted per share as
                  they are dilutive to that calculation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

         Included in minimum rents were rents attributable to the accounting
         practice of straight-lining of rents. The amount of straight-lining of
         rents that impacted minimum rents was $1.9 million and $2.7 million for
         the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively; and
         $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
         1999 and 1998, respectively.

         INFLATION

         In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on
         the Company because of a relatively low inflation rate. Most of the
         leases at the Centers have rent adjustments periodically through the
         lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or
         based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, many of
         the leases are for terms of less than ten years, which enables the
         Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rents
         if the rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market
         rate. Additionally, most of the leases require the tenants to pay their
         pro rata share of operating expenses. This reduces the Company's
         exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from
         inflation.

         SEASONALITY

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

         NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED

         In March 1998, the FASB, through its EITF, concluded based on EITF
         97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property
         Acquisitions," that all internal costs to source, analyze and close
         acquisitions should be expensed as incurred. The Company had
         historically capitalized these costs in accordance with GAAP. The
         Company adopted the FASB's interpretation effective March 19, 1998.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
         Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was initially to become
         effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements for
         periods beginning January 1, 2000. The new standard requires companies
         to record derivatives on the balance sheet, measured at fair value.
         Changes in the fair value of those derivatives will be accounted for
         based on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge
         accounting. The key criteria for hedge accounting is whether the
         hedging relationship is highly effective in achieving offsetting
         changes in fair value or cash flows. The Company has not yet determined
         when it will implement SFAS 133 nor has it completed the complex
         analysis required to determine the impact of SFAS 133 on its
         consolidated financial statements.

                                    ITEM III
           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

         The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 1999
         concerning the Company's long term debt obligations, including
         principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest
         rates and estimated fair value ("FV").

         The total variable rate debt of $60,000 maturing in 1999, was paid off
         in full by the Company on October 8, 1999 and replaced with a new loan
         of $72.0 million at a fixed rate of 7.75%, maturing in 2009. The $60.0
         million of floating rate debt maturing in 2000 was paid off in full on
         October 28, 1999. Of the $186.7 million of variable rate debt maturing
         in 2001, $134.5 million represents the outstanding borrowings under the
         Company's credit facility. The credit facility matures in February
         2000, with a one year option to extend the maturity date to February
         2001. The table reflects the Company extending the maturity date to
         February 2001. The balance of $52.2 million represents outstanding
         borrowings under the Pacific View construction loan.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (THE COMPANY)


         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK, CONTINUED:

         In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its variable
         rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would
         decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.9 million
         per year based on $399.2 million outstanding at September 30, 1999.

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