Exhibit 99.1

 

THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

 

Under the terms of an Indenture, certain financial and other information related to the Rouse Company, L.L.C. has been included as this Exhibit 99.1 to the General Growth Properties, Inc. Form 10-K.

 

All references to numbered Notes are to specific footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of The Rouse Company, L.L.C. (“TRCLLC”) included in this report. The descriptions (and definitions, if not otherwise defined) included in such Notes are incorporated into the applicable response by reference.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.  The terms “we”, “us” and “our” in this report may also be used to refer to TRCLLC and its subsidiaries.

 

TRCLLC is a Delaware limited liability company, formed on November 9, 2010, and the successor company (the “Successor”) through voluntary conversion of The Rouse Company Limited Partnership (“TRCLP” or the “Predecessor”) into a limited liability company on November 9, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

 

TRCLP was the successor company to The Rouse Company (“TRC”).  TRC was acquired by General Growth Properties, Inc. (“Old GGP”) on November 12, 2004, which resulted in TRCLP becoming a subsidiary of Old GGP, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.  Old GGP, a Delaware corporation, was a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”).  New GGP, Inc., (“New GGP”, “GGP” or the “Company”), incorporated July 1, 2010, is the successor registrant by merger on the Effective Date with Old GGP.  Old GGP and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including TRCLP and certain of TRCLP’s subsidiaries, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Chapter 11”) in the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on April 16, 2009 (the “Petition Date”) and emerged from bankruptcy, pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) on the Effective Date as described below.

 

Chapter 11 and the Plan

 

In April 2009, Old GGP and its domestic subsidiaries, including TRCLP, filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

 

On October 21, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan.  Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Predecessor merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GGP, Inc. and New GGP, Inc. was renamed General Growth Properties, Inc.  Also pursuant to the Plan, prepetition creditor claims were satisfied in full and equity holders received newly issued common stock in New GGP, Inc. and in The Howard Hughes Corporation, a newly formed real estate company (“HHC”).  After that distribution, HHC became a publicly-held company, majority-owned by Old GGP’s previous stockholders.  GGP and TRCLLC do not own any ownership interest in HHC as of, or subsequent to, the Effective Date.

 

The Plan was based on the agreements (collectively, as amended and restated, the “Investment Agreements”) with REP Investments LLC, an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (the “Brookfield Investor”), an affiliate of Fairholme Funds, Inc. (“Fairholme”) and an affiliate of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square” and together with the Brookfield Investor and Fairholme, the “Plan Sponsors”), pursuant to which the Predecessor would be divided into two companies, New GGP, Inc. and HHC, and the Plan Sponsors would invest in the Company’s standalone emergence plan.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, prior to the Effective Date, TRCLP distributed the HHC Properties it indirectly owned to Old GGP to facilitate the HHC distribution described above.  In addition, TRCLP distributed various operating properties including a private REIT that owned a noncontrolling interest in GGPLP L.L.C. to Old GGP.  The operations of these properties have been reported in the Predecessor periods as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) (Note 4).

 

Prior to the Effective Date, through a series of transactions, properties owned by Old GGP were contributed to TRCLP.  In accordance with the GAAP guidance established for mergers involving affiliates under common control, the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor have been recast to include the financial position and results of these properties for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interests.

 

On June 1, 2011, GGP contributed additional properties into TRCLLC.  The financial statements of the Predecessor and Successor have been recast to include the results of these properties for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interests. This restructuring increased TRCLLC’s total assets by $0.7 billion, total liabilities by

 

T-1



 

$0.5 billion and total partners’ capital by $0.2 billion as of December 31, 2010. As a result of this restructuring, net loss for the period from November 10, 2010 to December 31, 2010 decreased $0.3 million, net income for the period from January 1, 2010 to November 9, 2010 decreased by $12.0 million and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $2.8 million, respectively.

 

During 2011, TRCLLC distributed various operating properties to GGP.  The operations of these properties have been reported in the Predecessor and Successor periods as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

 

We have publicly-traded unsecured bonds of $1.65 billion outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  Such bonds have maturity dates from September 2012 through November 2015 and interest rates ranging from 5.38% to 7.20%.  The bonds also have covenants, including ratios of secured debt to gross assets and total debt to total gross assets.  We are not aware of any instance of non-compliance with our financial covenants related to our mortgages, notes and loan payable as of December 31, 2011.

 

Management’s Summary

 

Our primary business includes the operation, development and management of retail and other rental property, primarily shopping centers.  From the Effective Date, TRCLLC operates in a single reportable segment.

 

Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we operate, develop and manage retail and other rental properties, primarily regional malls, which are predominately located throughout the United States. We also hold assets in Brazil through investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (as defined below).  Prior to the Effective Date, the Predecessor had also developed and sold land for residential, commercial and other uses primarily in large-scale, long-term master planned community projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas.

 

In this report, we refer to our ownership interests in properties in which we own a majority or controlling interest and, as a result, are consolidated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as the “Consolidated Properties.”  We also hold some properties through joint venture entities in which we own a non-controlling interest (“Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates”) and we refer to those properties as the “Unconsolidated Properties.”

 

We generally make all key strategic decisions for our Consolidated Properties.  Such strategic decisions for the Unconsolidated Properties are made with the respective stockholders, members or joint venture partners.  GGP is also the asset manager for most of the Unconsolidated Properties, executing the strategic decisions and overseeing the day-to-day property management functions, including operations, leasing, construction management, maintenance, accounting, marketing and promotional services.  With respect to Unconsolidated Properties, we generally conduct the management activities through one of GGP’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”).

 

There are several factors, many beyond our control, which could, individually or collectively, adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.  Some of the risks are described below.  Additional risks are described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by General Growth Properties, Inc. and should be read in conjunction with the review of the information contained herein.

Tenant rents, defined as the sum of minimum rents, tenant recoveries and overage rents increased by $3.9 million primarily due to increases in overage rents for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to increased tenant sales in 2011.

 

The base minimum rents have increased due to a net increase in contractual rental rates and an increase in permanent occupancy within our regional malls.  The changes in straight-line rent and above-and below-market leases, net reflect the impact of the application of acquisition accounting in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Property management and other costs increased by $27.9 million due primarily to an increase in allocation of GGP corporate overhead to TRCLLC in 2011.  See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion related to GGP property management and other costs.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $74.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to the impact of the application of the acquisition accounting in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Net interest expense decreased $81.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to the lower average debt balance on our unsecured bonds due to amounts repaid at the Effective Date.  In addition, we refinanced four properties, resulting in a lower debt balance and lower weighted average interest expense in 2011 and 2010.

 

The decrease in equity in income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due was primarily due to a $28.6 million increase in amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, including above and below market lease amortization related to the impact of the application of the acquisition accounting in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

T-3



 

Cash position and liquidity at December 31, 2011

TRCLLC had $442.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011. The cash position of TRCLLC is largely determined at any point in time by the relative short-term demands for cash by TRCLLC and GGP.  We have $349.5 million of publicly-traded unsecured bonds which mature in 2012.  TRCLLC expects to remain current with respect to its debt obligations and be able to access additional funds as required from GGP.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To The Members of

The Rouse Company, L.L.C.

Chicago, Illinois

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Rouse Company, LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), capital, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period from November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (Successor Company operations), and for the period from January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009 (Predecessor Company operations). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the Successor Company consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Rouse Company, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the period from November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor Company consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 21, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the plan of reorganization which became effective on November 9, 2010.  Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with ASC 852-10, Reorganizations, and ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, for the Successor Company as a new entity including assets, liabilities, and a capital structure with carrying values not comparable with prior periods as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on June 1, 2011, certain properties owned by General Growth Properties, Inc. were contributed to the Company. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) established for mergers involving affiliates under common control, the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been recast to include the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of these properties for all periods presented.

THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1                ORGANIZATION

 

General

 

The Rouse Company L.L.C. (“TRCLLC”, the “Successor”, “we” or “us”) is a Delaware limited liability company, formed on November 9, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) through voluntary conversion of The Rouse Company Limited Partnership (“TRCLP” or the “Predecessor”) into a limited liability company.

 

TRCLP was the successor company to The Rouse Company (“TRC”), which was incorporated as a business corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1956.  TRC was acquired by General Growth Properties, Inc. (“Old GGP”) on November 12, 2004, which resulted in TRCLP becoming a subsidiary of Old GGP, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.  Old GGP, a Delaware corporation, was a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”).  New GGP, Inc. (“New GGP”, “GGP” or the “Company”), incorporated July 1, 2010, is the successor registrant by merger, on the Effective Date with Old GGP.  Old GGP and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including TRCLP and certain of TRCLP’s subsidiaries, had filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Chapter 11”) in the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on April 16, 2009 (the “Petition Date”) and emerged from bankruptcy, pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) on the Effective Date as described below.

 

Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we operate, develop and manage retail and other rental properties, primarily regional malls, which are predominately located throughout the United States. We also hold assets in Brazil through investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (as defined below).  Prior to the Effective Date, the Predecessor had also developed and sold land for residential, commercial and other uses primarily in large-scale, long-term master planned community projects in and around Columbia, Maryland; Summerlin, Nevada; and Houston, Texas (“HHC Properties”).

 

In this report, we refer to our ownership interests in properties in which we own a majority or controlling interest and, as a result, are consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as the “Consolidated Properties.”  We also hold some properties through joint venture entities in which we own a non-controlling interest (“Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates”) and we refer to those properties as the “Unconsolidated Properties.”  Our “Company Portfolio” includes both our Consolidated Properties and our Unconsolidated Properties.

 

Chapter 11 and the Plan

 

In April 2009, Old GGP and its domestic subsidiaries, including TRCLP (the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

 

On October 21, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan.  Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Predecessor merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GGP, Inc. and New GGP, Inc. was renamed General Growth Properties, Inc.  Also pursuant to the Plan, prepetition creditor claims were satisfied in full and equity holders received newly issued common stock in New GGP, Inc. and in The Howard Hughes Corporation, a newly formed real estate company (“HHC”).  After that distribution, HHC became a publicly-held company, majority-owned by Old GGP’s previous stockholders.  GGP and TRCLLC do not own any ownership interest in HHC as of, or subsequent to, the Effective Date.

 

The Plan was based on the agreements (collectively, as amended and restated, the “Investment Agreements”) with REP Investments LLC, an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (the “Brookfield Investor”), an affiliate of Fairholme Funds, Inc. (“Fairholme”) and an affiliate of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square” and together with the Brookfield Investor and Fairholme, the “Plan Sponsors”), pursuant to which the Predecessor would be divided into two companies, New GGP, Inc. and HHC, and the Plan Sponsors would invest in the Company’s standalone emergence plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2                SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TRCLLC, its subsidiaries and joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest.  For consolidated joint ventures, the noncontrolling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the joint venture (generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage) is included in Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Affiliates as a permanent element of capital.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

We operate in a single reportable segment referred to as our retail and other segment, which includes the operation, development and management of retail and other rental properties, primarily regional malls.  Our portfolio of regional malls represents a collection of retail properties that are targeted to a range of market sizes and consumer tastes.  Each of our operating properties is considered a separate operating segment, as each property earns revenues and incurs expenses, individual operating results are reviewed and discrete financial information is available.  We do not distinguish or group our consolidated operations based on geography, size or type.  Further, all material operations are within the United States and no customer or tenant comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues.  As a result, the Company’s operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment.

 

Prior to the Effective Date, through a series of transactions, properties owned by Old GGP were contributed to TRCLP.  In accordance with the GAAP guidance established for mergers involving affiliates under common control, the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor have been recast to include the financial position and results of these properties for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interests.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, prior to the Effective Date, TRCLP distributed the HHC Properties it indirectly owned to Old GGP to facilitate the HHC distribution described above.  In addition, TRCLP distributed various operating properties including the private REIT entity that owned a noncontrolling interest in GGPLP L.L.C. to Old GGP.  The operations of these properties have been reported in the Predecessor periods as discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (loss) (Note 4).  Prior to the Effective Date, the HHC properties were managed separately as a different reportable segment.

 

On June 1, 2011, GGP contributed additional properties into TRCLLC.  The financial statements of the Predecessor and Successor have been recast to include the results of these properties for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interests. This restructuring increased TRCLLC’s total assets by $0.7 billion, total liabilities by $0.5 billion and total partners’ capital by $0.2 billion as of December 31, 2010. As a result of this restructuring, net loss for the period from November 10, 2010 to December 31, 2010 decreased $0.3 million; net income for the period from January 1, 2010 to November 9, 2010 decreased by $12.0 million and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $2.8 million, respectively.

 

During 2011, TRCLLC distributed various operating properties to GGP.  The operations of these properties have been reported in the Predecessor and Successor periods as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (loss).

In addition to the restatements discussed above, certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as a result of discontinued operations.  Income statement amounts for properties sold or to be disposed of have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Lastly, certain prior period income statement disclosures in the accompanying footnotes have been restated to exclude amounts which have been reclassified to discontinued operations.

 

Properties

 

Real estate assets are stated at cost less any provisions for impairments.  As discussed in Note 3, the real estate assets were recorded at fair value pursuant to the application of acquisition accounting on the Effective Date.  Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized.  Real estate taxes and interest costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized.  Capitalized interest costs are based on qualified expenditures and interest rates

THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

in place during the construction period.  Capitalized real estate taxes and interest costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the constructed assets.

 

Pre-development costs, which generally include legal and professional fees and other directly-related third-party costs, are capitalized as part of the property being developed.  In the event a development is no longer deemed to be probable, the costs previously capitalized are expensed (see our impairment policies in this Note 2 below).

 

Tenant improvements, either paid directly or in the form of construction allowances paid to tenants, are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the applicable lease term.  Expenditures for significant betterments and improvements are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

 

We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our properties.  Depreciation or amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:

 

 

 

Years

Buildings and improvements

 

45

Equipment and fixtures

 

5-10

Tenant improvements

 

Shorter of useful life or applicable lease term

 

Accumulated depreciation was reset to zero on the Effective Date as described in Note 3 in conjunction with the application of the acquisition method of accounting due to the Plan and the Investment Agreements.

 

Impairment

 

General

 

Carrying values of our properties were reset to fair value on the Effective Date as provided by the acquisition method of accounting.  Impairment charges could be taken in the future if economic conditions change or if the plans regarding such assets change.  Therefore, we can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to our assets, including operating properties, investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and developments in progress, will not occur in future periods.  Accordingly, we will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods to determine whether impairments are warranted.

 

Operating properties

 

Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets requires that if impairment indicators exist and the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision should be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such asset to its fair value.  We review our consolidated assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment indicators are assessed separately for each property and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in real estate property net operating income, significant occupancy percentage changes, debt maturities and management’s intent with respect to the assets.

 

Impairment indicators for pre-development costs, which are typically costs incurred during the beginning stages of a potential development and developments in progress are assessed by project and include, but are not limited to, significant changes in the Company’s plans with respect to the project, significant changes in projected completion dates, tenant demand, revenues or cash flows, development costs, market factors and sustainability of development projects.

 

If an indicator of potential impairment exists, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing its carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows.  The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy and capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets.  Although the carrying amount may exceed the estimated fair value of certain assets, a real estate asset is only considered to be impaired when its carrying amount cannot be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash flows.  To the extent an impairment provision is determined to be necessary, the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated

THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

fair value is expensed to operations.  In addition, the impairment provision is allocated proportionately to adjust the carrying amount of the asset group.  The adjusted carrying amount, which represents the new cost basis of the asset, is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.

 

During the respective periods, we determined there were events and circumstances indicating that certain properties or pre-development costs were not recoverable and therefore required impairments.  As such, we recorded impairment charges related to one operating property and related to pre-development costs aggregating $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Predecessor recorded impairment charges related to its operating properties, land held for development and sale, and properties under development of $14.3 million for the period from January 1, 2010 to November 9, 2010 and $505.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.  These impairment charges, except for $0.1 million and $12.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2009, respectively, which are included in provisions for impairment, are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).  We determined that there were no events and circumstances indicating impairment for the period from November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

 

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates

 

According to the guidance related to the equity method of accounting for investments, a series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that an other-than-temporary decrease in value of our investment in the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates has occurred. The investment in each of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates is evaluated periodically and as deemed necessary for valuation declines below the carrying amount. Accordingly, in addition to the property-specific impairment analysis that we perform for such joint ventures (as part of our operating property impairment process described above), we also considered whether there were other-than-temporary impairments with respect to the carrying values of our unconsolidated real estate affiliates.

 

Based on our evaluations, no provisions for impairment were recorded related to our Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates.

 

Goodwill

 

The application of acquisition accounting on the Effective Date did not yield any goodwill for the Successor and all prior amounts were eliminated of the Predecessor (Note 3).  With respect to the Predecessor, the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill.  Recorded goodwill was tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the asset might be impaired.   The Predecessor assessed fair value based on estimated future cash flow projections that utilized discount and capitalization rates which are generally unobservable in the market place (Level 3 inputs) under these principles, but approximate the inputs we believe would be utilized by market participants in assessing fair value.  Estimates of future cash flows were based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.  If the carrying amount of a property, including its goodwill, exceeded its estimated fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In this second step, if the implied fair value of goodwill was less than the carrying amount of goodwill, an impairment charge was recorded.

 

As a result of the procedures performed, the Predecessor recorded provisions for impairment of goodwill of $140.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.  During 2010, until the Effective Date, there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the then current carrying amount of goodwill might be impaired.

 

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates

 

We account for investments in joint ventures where we own a non-controlling joint interest using the equity method.  Under the equity method, the cost of our investment is adjusted for our share of the equity in earnings of such Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates from the date of acquisition and reduced by distributions received.  Generally, the operating agreements with respect to our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates provide that assets, liabilities and funding obligations are shared in accordance with our ownership percentages.  Therefore, we generally also share in the profit and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in accordance with our respective ownership percentages.  Differences between the carrying amount of our investment in the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates and our share of the underlying equity of such Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (for example, arising from the application of the acquisition method of accounting, Note 3) are

 

T-15



 

THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

amortized over lives ranging from five to 45 years.  When cumulative distributions exceed our investment in the joint venture, the investment is reported as a liability in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Highly-liquid investments with maturities at dates of purchase of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.

 

Receivable from General Growth Properties, Inc.

 

The amounts receivable from General Growth Properties, Inc. are primarily non-interest bearing, unsecured, payable on demand, and have been reflected as a component of Capital.

 

Leases

 

Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to tenants are considered finance leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments and the estimated residual values of the leased properties, if any, are accounted for as receivables.

 

Deferred Expenses

 

Deferred expenses primarily consist of leasing commissions and related costs and are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the leases.  Deferred expenses also include financing fees we incurred in order to obtain long-term financing and are amortized on a straight line basis as interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements, which approximates the effective interest method.  The acquisition method of accounting eliminated such balances of deferred financing fees and the Successor only has amounts incurred subsequent to the Effective Date.

 

Revenue recognition and related matters

 

Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related operating leases.  Minimum rent revenues also include amounts collected from tenants to allow the termination of their leases prior to their scheduled termination dates and accretion related to above and below-market tenant leases on properties that were fair valued at emergence.  The following is a summary of amortization of straight-line rent, net amortization /accretion related to above and below-market tenant leases, termination income and percentage rents in-lieu of minimum rent:

Overage rent is paid by a tenant when its sales exceed an agreed upon minimum amount, is recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual tenant lease thresholds and is calculated by multiplying the sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease.  Recoveries from tenants are established in the leases or computed based upon a formula related to real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and are generally recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred.

 

In leasing tenant space, we may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance.  In accounting for a tenant allowance, we determine whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluate the ownership, for accounting purposes, of such improvements.  If we are considered the owner of the leasehold improvements for accounting purposes, we capitalize the amount of the tenant allowance and depreciate it over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the related lease term.  If the tenant allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event we are not considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The accounting principles for fair value measurements establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers consist of:

 

·                  Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

·                  Level 2 - defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

·                  Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

We estimated fair value relating to these impairment assessments based upon discounted cash flow and direct capitalization models that included all projected cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period, or the negotiated sales price, if applicable. Such projected cash flows are comprised of unobservable inputs which include contractual rental revenues and forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models were based upon observable rates that we believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for each property analyzed. Based upon these inputs, we determined that our valuations of properties using a discounted cash flow or a direct capitalization model were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  For our properties for which the estimated fair value was based on estimated sales prices, we determined that our valuation was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

In addition, the fair value of liabilities related to debt on the properties that filed for bankruptcy and emerged during the period from April 9, 2009 through November 9, 2010 was $8.24 billion as of November 9, 2010 and were fair valued using Level 3 inputs.  Fair value was determined based on the net present value of debt using current market rates. For our properties for which the estimated fair value was based on estimated sales prices, we determined that our valuation was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We estimated the fair value of debt based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt, recent financing transactions (which may not be comparable), estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), a widely quoted market interest rate which is frequently the index used to determine the rate at which we borrow funds, U.S. treasury obligation interest rates and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt.  The discount rates estimated reflect our judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality would be if credit markets were operating efficiently and assume that the debt is outstanding through maturity. We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed, or, in the case of the Successor, recorded due to the acquisition method of accounting (Note 3).  Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist in specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any of such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currencies for our international joint ventures are their local currencies.  Assets and liabilities of these investments are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date and results of operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period.  Translation adjustments resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities are accumulated in Capital as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  Translation of operations is reflected in Capital in other comprehensive income.

 

Transactions with Affiliates

 

GGP directly performs functions such as payroll, benefits, and insurance for TRCLLC and related costs for such functions are either charged directly to or allocated, as applicable, to TRCLLC.

 

Reorganization Items

 

Reorganization items are expense or income items that were incurred or realized by the Debtors as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (loss) of the Predecessor.  Reorganization items include professional fees and similar types of expenses and gains on liabilities subject to compromise directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases, resulting from activities of the reorganization process, and interest earned on cash accumulated by the Debtors as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.  We recognized a net expense on reorganization items of $51.3 million for the period January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010 and a net credit of $33.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. These amounts exclude reorganization items that are currently included within discontinued operations.  We did not recognize any reorganization items in 2011 or in the successor period of 2010.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to fair values of assets and liabilities for purposes of applying the acquisition method of accounting, the useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred taxes, initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, fair value of debt and cost ratios and completion percentages used for land sales.  Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Acquisition Method of Accounting Adjustments on the Effective Date

 

The acquisition method of accounting has been applied to the assets and liabilities of the Successor to reflect the acquisition of Old GGP by New GGP as part of the Plan as discussed in Note 1.  The acquisition method of accounting was applied at the Effective Date and, therefore, the Successor’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and statements of operations, cash flows and equity for the period November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010 reflects the revaluation of the Predecessor’s assets and liabilities to fair value as of the Effective Date.  The acquisition method of accounting has been applied to the assets and liabilities of the Successor to reflect the acquisition of the Predecessor by the Successor as part of the Plan. The acquisition method of accounting adjustments recorded on the Effective Date reflect the allocation of the estimated purchase price as presented in the table below. Such adjustments reflect the amounts required to adjust the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, after giving effect to the transactions pursuant to the Plan, to the fair values of such remaining assets and liabilities and redeemable noncontrolling interests, with the offset to common equity, as provided by the acquisition method of accounting.  Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with ASC 852-

The aggregate fair value of the assets and liabilities of TRCLLC were computed using estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques, including estimated discount and capitalization rates, and such estimates and techniques were also used to allocate the purchase price of acquired property between land, buildings, equipment, tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place at-market tenant leases, acquired above and below-market tenant and ground leases.  Elements of the Predecessor’s working capital have been reflected at current carrying amounts as such short-term items are assumed to be settled in cash within 12 months at such values.

 

The Fair Values of tangible assets are determined on an ‘‘if vacant’’ basis. The ‘‘if vacant’’ fair value is allocated to land, where applicable, buildings, equipment and tenant improvements based on comparable sales and other relevant information with respect to the property. Specifically, the ‘‘if vacant’’ value of the buildings and equipment was calculated using a cost approach utilizing published guidelines for current replacement cost or actual construction costs for similar, recently developed properties; and an income approach. Assumptions used in the income approach

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

to the value of buildings include: capitalization and discount rates, lease-up time, market rents, make ready costs, land value, and site improvement value. We believe that the most influential assumption in the estimation of value based on the income approach is the assumed discount rate and an average one half of one percent change in the aggregate discount rates applied to our estimates of future cash flows would result in an approximate 3.5 percent change in the aggregate estimated value of our real estate investments.  With respect to developments in progress, the fair value of such projects approximated the carrying value.

 

The estimated fair value of in-place tenant leases includes lease origination costs (the costs we would have incurred to lease the property to the current occupancy level of the property) and the lost revenues during the period necessary to lease-up from vacant to the current occupancy level. Such estimate includes the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant coordination costs that would be incurred to lease the property to this occupancy level. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy level would be achieved and include an estimate of the net operating costs (primarily real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) incurred during the lease-up period, which generally ranges up to one year. The fair value of acquired in-place tenant leases is included in the balance of buildings and equipment and amortized over the remaining lease term for each tenant.

 

Intangible assets and liabilities were calculated for above-market and below-market tenant and ground leases where we are either the lessor or the lessee. Above-market and below-market tenant and ground lease values were valued (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) based on the difference between the contractual amounts to be received or paid pursuant to the leases and our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases, including below market renewal options. The variance between contract rent versus prevailing market rent is projected to expiration for each particular tenant and discounted back to the date of acquisition. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of leasehold assets and liabilities include: (1) the market rental rate, (2) market reimbursements, (3) the market rent growth rate and (4) discount rates. Above and below-market lease values are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases (approximately five years for tenant leases and approximately 50 years for ground leases). The remaining term of leases with lease renewal options with terms significantly below (25% or more discount to the assumed market rate of the tenant’s space at the time the renewal option is to apply) market reflect the assumed exercise of such renewal options and assume the amortization period would coincide with the extended lease term. Due to existing contacts and relationships with tenants at our currently owned properties and that there was no significant perceived difference in the renewal probability of a tenant based on such relationship, no significant value has been ascribed to the tenant relationships at the properties.

 

Less than 1% of our leases contain renewal options exercisable by our tenants. In estimating the fair value of the related below market lease liability, we assumed that tenants with renewal options would exercise this option if the renewal rate was at least 25% below the estimated market rate at the time of renewal. We have utilized this assumption, which we believe to be reasonable, because we believe that such a discount would be compelling and that tenants would elect to renew their leases under such favorable terms. We believe that at a discount of less than 25%, the tenant also considers qualitative factors in deciding whether to renew a below-market lease and, accordingly, renewal can not be assumed. In cases where we have assumed renewal of the below-market lease, we have used the terms of the leases, as renewed, including any below market renewal options, to amortize the calculated below-market lease intangible. If we had used a discount to estimated market rates of 10% rather than 25%, there would not have been a material change in the below-market lease intangible or the amortization of such intangible.

 

With respect to our investments in the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates, our fair value reflects the fair value of the property held by such affiliate, as computed in a similar fashion to our majority owned properties. Such fair values have been adjusted for the consideration of our ownership and distribution preferences and limitations and rights to sell and repurchase our ownership interests. We estimated the fair value of debt based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt, recent financing transactions (which may not be comparable), estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, the current London Interbank Offered Rate (‘‘LIBOR’’), a widely quoted market interest rate which is frequently the index used to determine the rate at which we borrow funds and U.S. treasury obligation interest rates, and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect our judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality would be if credit markets were operating efficiently and assume that the debt is outstanding through maturity. We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate such amounts. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and

do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist in specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any of such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.

The gross asset balances of the in-place value of tenant leases are included in Buildings and equipment in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The above-market tenant leases and below-market ground leases are included in prepaid expenses and other assets; the below-market tenant leases and above-market building and ground leases are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses (Note 9) in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Amortization/accretion of these intangibles increased our loss from continuing operations by $124.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, $18.3 million for the period from November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010, $6.4 million for the period from January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010 and $8.9 million in 2009.

 

Future amortization is estimated to decrease net income by approximately $116.3 million in 2012, $95.1 million in 2013, $83.0 million in 2014, $74.9 million in 2015, and $66.2 million in 2016.

NOTE 5                UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE AFFILIATES

 

The Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates represents our investments in real estate joint ventures. Generally, we share in the profits and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to our investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. GGP manages most of the properties owned by these joint ventures. As we have joint control of these ventures with our venture partners, we account for these joint ventures using the equity method.

 

On January 29, 2010, our Brazilian joint venture, Aliansce Shopping Centers S.A. (“Aliansce”), commenced trading on the Brazilian Stock Exchange, or BM&FBovespa, as a result of an initial public offering of Aliansce’s common shares in Brazil (the “Aliansce IPO”).  Although we did not sell any of our Aliansce shares in the Aliansce IPO, our ownership interest in Aliansce was diluted from 49% to approximately 31% as a result of the stock sold in the Aliansce IPO.  We continue to apply the equity method of accounting to our ownership interest in Aliansce.  As an equity method investor, we accounted for the shares issued by Aliansce as if we had sold a proportionate share of our investment at the issuance price per share of the Aliansce IPO. Accordingly, the Predecessor recognized a gain of $9.7 million for the period from January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010, which is reflected in equity in income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates.

 

Indebtedness secured by our Unconsolidated Properties was $1.83 billion as of December 31, 2011 and $2.01 billion as of December 31, 2010.  Our proportionate share of such debt was $721 million as of December 31, 2011 and $801 million as of December 31, 2010.  There can be no assurance that the Unconsolidated Properties will be able to refinance or restructure such

The weighted-average interest rate, excluding the effects of deferred finance costs on our collateralized mortgages, notes and loans payable was 5.46% at December 31, 2011 and 5.64% at December 31, 2010.  The weighted average interest rate on the remaining corporate unsecured fixed-rate debt was 6.75% at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

At December 31, 2011, TRCLLC is obligated on approximately $1.65 billion of publicly-traded unsecured bonds with maturities between September 30, 2012 and November 2015 and interest rates ranging from 5.38% to 7.20%.  We have $349.5 million of publicly-traded unsecured bonds which mature in 2012.  TRCLLC expects to remain current with respect to its debt obligations and be able to access additional funds as required from GGP.

 

The bonds also have covenants, including ratios of secured debt to gross assets and total debt to total gross assets. We are not aware of any instance of non-compliance with our financial covenants related to our mortgages, notes and loan payable as of December 31, 2011.

 

Collateralized Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable

 

As of December 31, 2011, $5.0 billion of land, buildings and equipment and developments in progress (before accumulated depreciation) have been pledged as collateral for our mortgages, notes and loans payable. Certain of these secured loans are cross-collateralized with other properties.  Although a majority of the $4.4 billion of fixed and variable rate mortgage notes and loans payable are non-recourse, $35.2 million of such mortgages, notes and loans payable are recourse due to guarantees or other security provisions for the benefit of the note holder.  In addition, certain mortgage loans contain other credit enhancement provisions (primarily master leases for all or a portion of the property), as of December 31, 2011 which have been provided by GGP.  Certain mortgage notes payable may be prepaid but are generally subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield-maintenance premium, defeasance or a percentage of the loan balance.

 

NOTE 7                INCOME TAXES

 

TRCLLC is a limited liability company, which is an entity disregarded for federal income tax purposes and we are not liable for federal income taxes.  TRCLLC is a subsidiary of GGP which will elect to be taxed as a REIT.  As a disregarded entity, the Company does not file a federal income tax return.  The Company’s state tax returns for the tax years 2007 through 2011 are subject to examination by state and local authorities.

 

However, TRCLP prior to the Effective Date, as a subsidiary of Old GGP (which operated as a REIT), owned and operated several taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) entities that were taxable corporations that were used by REITs generally to engage in nonqualifying REIT activities or perform nonqualifying services. Therefore we were liable for federal and state income taxes with respect to such TRS entities.  Prior to the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, these TRS entities were distributed to Old GGP preceding the formation of HHC (Note 4).  The provision for (benefit from) income taxes relative to these TRS entities are reported in discontinued operations in the Predecessor periods.  Subsequent to the distribution to Old GGP of the TRS entities, the Successor had zero deferred tax balances.

 

T-26



 

THE ROUSE COMPANY, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The distribution of TRS entities to Old GGP significantly changed the Successor’s exposure to income taxes.  Substantially all of the taxable activities within the Predecessor were distributed. The vast majority of the Successor’s activities will be conducted as a limited liability company, which is an entity disregarded for federal income tax purposes as discussed above.

 

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011, the period from November 10, through December 31, 2010, the period from January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Such operating leases are with a variety of tenants, the majority of which are national and regional retail chains and local retailers, and consequently, our credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.

NOTE 10         COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of our properties.  In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

We lease land or buildings at certain properties from third parties.  The leases generally provide us with a right of first refusal in the event of a proposed sale of the property by the landlord.  Rental payments are expensed as incurred and have, to the extent applicable, been straight-lined over the term of the lease.  Contractual rental expense, including participation rent totaled $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, $1.4 million for the period from November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010, $8.4 million for the period January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010 and $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, while the same rent expense excluding amortization of above and below market ground leases and straight line rents, as presented in our consolidated financial statements totaled $6.0 for the year ended December 31, 2011, $0.9 million for the period from November 10, 2010 through December 31, 2010, $5.8 million for the period January 1, 2010 through November 9, 2010 and $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 11        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

The following pro forma financial information has been presented as a result of the acquisition of the Predecessor pursuant to the Plan during 2010.  The pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based upon the historical financial information of the Predecessor and the Successor as presented in this report, excluding discontinued operations and the financial information of operations distributed to GGP, as if the transaction had been consummated on the first day of the earliest period presented.

 

The following pro forma financial information may not necessarily be indicative of what our actual results would have been if the Plan of Reorganization had been consummated as of the date assumed, nor does it purport to represent our results of operations for future periods.

Included in the above pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are the following adjustments:

 

Minimum rent receipts are recognized on a straight-line basis over periods that reflect the related lease terms, and include accretion and amortization related to above and below market portions of tenant leases. Acquisition accounting pro forma adjustments reflect a change in the periods over which such items are recognized. The adjustment related to straight line rent and accretion and amortization related to above and below market portions of tenant leases was a decrease in revenues of $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $16.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Depreciation and amortization have been adjusted to reflect adjustments of estimated useful lives and contractual terms as well as the fair valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities, resulting in changes to the rate and amount of depreciation and amortization.

 

Interest expense has been adjusted to reflect the reduction in interest expense due to the repayment or replacement of certain of TRCLP’s debt as provided by the Plan. In addition, the pro forma information reflects non-cash

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

adjustments to interest expense due to the fair valuing of debt and deferred expenses and other amounts in historical interest expense as a result of the acquisition method of accounting.

 

Reorganization items have been reversed as the Plan is assumed to be effective and all Debtors are deemed to have emerged from bankruptcy as of the first day of the periods presented and, accordingly, such expenses or items would not be incurred.
