NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1ORGANIZATION

Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the Company’s (as defined below) audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Annual Report”), as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Annual Report have been omitted from this Quarterly Report.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined in this Quarterly Report, have the same meanings as in the Annual Report.

General

Rouse Properties, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that was created to hold certain assets and liabilities of General Growth Properties, Inc. ("GGP"). Prior to January 12, 2012, Rouse Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Rouse" or the "Company") were a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGP Limited Partnership (“GGP LP”). GGP distributed the assets and liabilities of 30 of its wholly-owned properties (“RPI Businesses”) to Rouse on January 12, 2012 (the “Spin-Off Date”). Before the spin-off, the Company had not conducted any business as a separate company and had no material assets or liabilities. The operations, assets and liabilities of the business were transferred to us by GGP on the Spin-Off Date and are presented as if the transferred business was our business for all historical periods prior to the Spin-Off Date. As such, the Company's assets and liabilities on the Spin-Off Date were reflective of GGP's respective carrying values. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Rouse.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, include the accounts of Rouse, as well as all subsidiaries of Rouse. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as of and for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company operates in a single reportable segment referred to as its retail segment, which includes the operation, development and management of regional malls. Each of the Company's 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 our operations based on geography, size or type and all operations are within the United States. No customer or tenant comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues, and the properties have similar economic characteristics. As a result, the Company’s operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment.

NOTE 2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Properties

Acquisition accounting was applied to real estate assets within the Rouse portfolio either when GGP emerged from bankruptcy in November 2010 or upon any subsequent acquisition. After acquisition accounting is applied, the real estate assets are carried at the cost basis less accumulated depreciation. Real estate taxes and interest costs incurred during development periods are capitalized. Capitalized interest costs are based on qualified expenditures and interest rates in place during the development period. Capitalized real estate taxes, interest and interest related costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the developed 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.

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 applicable lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. Expenditures for significant betterments and improvements are capitalized. In leasing tenant space, the Company may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. In accounting for a tenant allowance, the Company determines whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluates the ownership of such improvements. If the Company is considered the owner of the leasehold improvements for accounting purposes, it capitalizes the amount of the tenant allowance and

7

ROUSE PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

depreciates 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 that the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the allowance is capitalized as a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.

Depreciation or amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:

	Years
Buildings and improvements	40
Equipment and fixtures	5 - 10
Tenant improvements	Shorter of useful life or applicable lease term

Impairment

Operating properties and intangible assets

Accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets require 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. The Company reviews all real estate 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 and occupancy percentages, high loan to value ratios, and carrying values in excess of the fair values. 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 to the Company’s plans with respect to the project, significant changes in projected completion dates, 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 estimated fair value of certain assets may exceed the carrying amount, 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 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.

The Company determined there were events and circumstances which changed management's estimated holding period for Boulevard Mall during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During 2013, the servicer of the loan for Boulevard Mall placed the loan into special servicing status and communicated to the Company that they would be unwilling to extend the term and discount the loan. As a result of this and the continued decline in operating results of the property, management concluded that it was in the best interest of the Company to convey the property to the lender. As the Company intended on conveying the property to the lender during 2013, the Company revised its intended hold period of this property to less than one year. The change in the hold period adjusted the undiscounted cash flows utilized in the impairment analysis and the Company concluded that the property was not recoverable. The Company recorded an impairment charge on the property of $21.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as the aggregate carrying value was higher than the fair value of the property. This impairment charge is included in loss from discontinued operations on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013. No impairment charges were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities

The following table summarizes our intangible assets and liabilities as a result of the application of acquisition accounting:

	Gross Asset (Liability)			Accumulated (Amortization)/ Accretion			Net Carrying Amount
	(In thousands)
March 31, 2014
Tenant leases:
In-place value	$	97,484		$	(41,145	)	$	56,339
Above-market	128,609			(66,759		)	61,850
Below-market	(58,202		)	21,030			(37,172		)
Ground leases:
Below-market	2,173			(423		)	1,750
December 31, 2013
Tenant leases:

Above-market	132,986			(64,303		)	68,683
Below-market	(59,641		)	19,394			(40,247		)
Ground leases:
Below-market	2,173			(392		)	1,781

The gross asset balances of the in-place value of tenant leases are included in buildings and equipment on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Acquired in-place tenant leases are amortized over periods that approximate the related lease terms. The above-market tenant and below-market ground leases are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, and below-market tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as detailed in Notes 3 and 5, respectively.

Amortization of in-place intangible assets and liabilities decreased the Company's income by $5.9 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization of in-place intangibles are included in depreciation and amortization on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles decreased the Company's revenue by $3.8 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization of above-market and below-market leasing intangibles are included in minimum rents on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Future amortization/accretion of these intangibles is estimated to decrease the Company's net income as follows:

Year	In-place lease intangibles		Above/(below) market leases, net
	(In thousands)
Remainder of 2014	$	12,920	$	8,319

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of security deposits and cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, tenant improvements, capital renovations and capital improvements. 

Interest Rate Hedging Instruments

The Company recognizes its derivative financial instruments in either prepaid expenses and other assets, net or accounts payable and accrued expenses, net, as applicable, in the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value (i.e., gain or loss) of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and further, on the type of hedging relationship. To qualify as a hedging instrument, a derivative must pass prescribed effectiveness tests, performed quarterly using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The Company has entered into a derivative agreement as of March 31, 2014 that qualifies as a hedging instrument and was designated, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of this cash flow hedge as of March 31, 2014 was $0.3 million, and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, net in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's interest rate hedge is classified as Level 2 in the fair value measurement table. To the extent they are effective, changes in fair value of cash flow hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI/L") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change in fair value. The gain or loss on the termination of an effective cash flow hedge is reported in AOCI/L and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. The Company also assesses the credit risk that the counterparty will not perform according to the terms of the contract.

Revenue Recognition and Related Matters

Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Minimum rent revenues also include amounts collected from tenants to allow the termination of their leases prior to their scheduled termination dates as well as the amortization related to above and below-market tenant leases on acquired properties and tenant inducements. Minimum rent revenues also include percentage rents in lieu of minimum rent from those leases where we receive a percentage of tenant revenues. The following is a summary of amortization of straight-line rent, lease termination income, net amortization related to above and below-market tenant leases, amortization of tenant inducements, and percentage rent in lieu of minimum rent for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Straight-line rent receivables represent the current net cumulative rents recognized prior to when billed and collectible, as provided by the terms of the leases. The following is a summary of straight-line rent receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, net, in our consolidated balance sheets and are reduced for allowances for doubtful accounts:

	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Straight-line rent receivables, net	$	13,271	$	12,645

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of accounts receivable, including straight-line rents, which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such allowances are reviewed periodically based upon our recovery experience. The Company also evaluates the probability of collecting future rent which is recognized currently under a straight-line methodology. This analysis considers the long term nature of our leases, as a certain portion of the straight-line rent currently recognizable will not be billed to the tenant until future periods. Our experience relative to unbilled straight-line rent receivable is that a certain portion of the amounts recorded as straight-line rental revenue are never collected from (or billed to) tenants due to early lease terminations. For that portion of the recognized deferred rent that is not deemed to be probable of collection, an allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided. Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.6 million and $2.8 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Tenant recoveries are recoveries from tenants that 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 in which the related costs are incurred. The Company makes certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursement.

Overage rent is paid by a tenant when its sales exceed an agreed-upon minimum amount. Overage rent is calculated by multiplying the sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease. Overage rent is recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual tenant lease thresholds.

Other revenues generally consist of amounts earned by the Company for vending, advertising, and marketing revenues earned at our malls and is recognized on an accrual basis over the related service period.

Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly; however, it reflects potential dilution of securities by adding other potential shares of common stock, including stock options and nonvested restricted stock, to the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 3,294,071 and 2,610,485 stock options outstanding, respectively, that potentially could be converted into shares of common stock and 219,642 and 293,237 shares of nonvested restricted stock outstanding, respectively. These stock options and shares of restricted stock have been excluded from this computation, as their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company had the following weighted-average shares outstanding:

	For the three months ended March 31,
	2014	2013
Weighted average shares - basic and diluted	56,129,522	49,332,151

Fair Value

The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value:

• Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities;

11

ROUSE PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

• Level 2 — observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and

• Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, the Company's fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon the sale or disposition of these assets.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's financial and non-financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by the above categories:

	Total Fair Value Measurement			Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to mitigate the effect of interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. The Company has one interest rate swap and one interest rate cap as of March 31, 2014 and the interest rate swap qualified for hedge accounting. The interest rate swap has met the effectiveness test criteria since inception and changes in its fair value is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI/L") and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. The interest rate cap did not qualify for hedge accounting and so the changes in its fair value are reported in earnings during the period incurred. The fair value of the Company's interest rate hedges, classified under Level 2, are determined based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated LIBOR information, consideration of the Company's credit standing, credit risk of the counterparty, and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the Company's interest rate hedging instruments.

The Company's financial instruments are short term in nature and as such their fair values approximate their carrying amount in our consolidated financial statements except for debt. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, management’s estimates of fair value are presented below. The Company estimated the fair value of the debt by using a future discounted cash flow analysis based on the use and weighting of multiple market inputs. Based on the frequency and availability of market data, the inputs used to measure the estimated fair value of debt are Level 3 inputs. The primary sensitivity in these calculations is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates.

Deferred Expenses

Deferred expenses are comprised of deferred lease costs incurred in connection with obtaining new tenants or renewals of lease agreements with current tenants, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the effective interest method) over the lives of the related mortgages, notes, and loans payable.  The following table summarizes our deferred lease and financing costs:

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company evaluates any potential asset retirement obligations, including those related to disposal of asbestos containing materials and environmental remediation liabilities. The Company recognizes the fair value of such obligations in the period incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be determined. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a preliminary estimate of the cost of the environmental remediation liability was approximately $4.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The ultimate cost of remediation to be incurred by the Company in the future may differ from the estimates as of March 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, recoverable amounts of receivables, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of hedging instruments and fair value of debt. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Reclassification

As a result of the disposition of Boulevard Mall, certain prior period amounts included on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and related notes have been reclassified to discontinued operations for the prior periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which requires entities to disclose only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations as discontinued operations. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new standard is effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. We are evaluating the impact that this update may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Explanatory Notes:

⁽¹⁾ Net proceeds is net of closing costs.

⁽²⁾ On March 6, 2013, the loan associated with the Lakeland Mall was refinanced for $65.0 million. Subsequently, on March 21, 2013, the loan was increased by $5.0 million to $70.0 million in order to partially fund the acquisition of an anchor building previously owned by a third party.

⁽³⁾ The loan provides for an additional subsequent funding of $5.0 million upon achieving certain conditions for a total funding of $71.5 million.

⁽⁴⁾ The loan is interest-only for the first three years and amortizes on a 30 year schedule thereafter. The loan has a five year extension option subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a swap transaction and the interest rate now has a fixed interest rate of 3.24%.

⁽⁵⁾ The loan is interest-only. In conjunction with the acquisition of the Centre at Salisbury the Company guaranteed a maximum amount of $3.5 million until certain financial covenants are met for two consecutive years.

Corporate Facilities

2013 Senior Facility

On November 22, 2013, the Company entered into a $510.0 million secured credit facility that provides borrowings on a revolving basis of up to $250.0 million (the "2013 Revolver") and a $260.0 million senior secured term loan (the "2013 Term Loan" and together with the 2013 Revolver, the "2013 Senior Facility"). Borrowings on the 2013 Senior Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 185 to 300 basis points based on the Company's corporate leverage. Proceeds from the 2013 Senior Facility were used to retire the Company's 2012 Senior Facility, including the 2012 Revolver and the 2012 Term Loan (as each term is defined below), and the $70.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan on The Southland Mall in California prior to its maturity date in January 2014. The Company has the option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, to exercise an "accordion" provision to increase the commitments under the 2013 Revolver and/or incur additional term loans in the aggregate amount of $250.0 million such that the aggregate amount of the commitments and outstanding loans under the 2013 Secured Facility does not exceed $760.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company exercised a portion of its "accordion" feature on the 2013 Senior Facility to increase the available borrowings of the 2013 Revolver thereunder from $250.0 million to $285.0 million. The term and rates of the Company's 2013 Senior Facility were otherwise unchanged.

The 2013 Revolver has an initial term of four years with a one year extension option and the 2013 Term Loan has a term of five years. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $10.0 million under the 2013 Revolver, bringing the then outstanding balance on the 2013 Revolver to $58.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid the $58.0 million outstanding balance on the 2013 Revolver. As a result, there was no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2014.

The Company is required to pay an unused fee related to the 2013 Revolver equal to 0.20% per year if the aggregate unused amount is greater than or equal to 50% of the 2013 Revolver or 0.30% per year if the aggregate unused amount is less than 50% of the 2013 Revolver.  The default interest rate following a payment event of default under the 2013 Senior Facility is 3.00% more than the then-applicable interest rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $0.2 million of unused fees related to the 2013 Revolver.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The 2013 Senior Facility contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and defaults that are customary for such a real estate loan. In addition, the 2013 Senior Facility requires compliance with certain financial covenants, including borrowing base loan to value and debt yield, corporate maximum leverage ratio, minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges, minimum tangible net worth, minimum mortgaged property requirement, maximum unhedged variable rate debt and maximum recourse indebtedness. Failure to comply with the covenants in the 2013 Senior Facility would result in a default thereunder and, absent a waiver or an amendment from our lenders, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the 2013 Senior Facility. No assurance can be given that we would be successful in obtaining such waiver or amendment in this current financial climate, or that any accommodations that we were able to negotiate would be on terms as favorable as those in the 2013 Senior Facility. In addition, any such default may result in the cross-default of our other indebtedness. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the debt covenants related to the 2013 Senior Facility.

As of March 31, 2014, $1.9 billion of land, buildings and equipment (before accumulated depreciation) have been pledged as collateral for our mortgages, notes and loans payable. 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. The weighted-average interest rate on our collateralized mortgages, notes and loans payable was approximately 4.7% and 4.6% as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the average remaining term was 4.8 years.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company issued letters of credit totaling $5.0 million in connection with three of its properties.

2012 Senior Facility and Subordinated Facility

On January 12, 2012, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility that provided borrowings on a revolving basis of up to $50.0 million (the "2012 Revolver") and a senior secured term loan (the "2012 Term Loan" and together with 2012 Revolver, the "2012 Senior Facility"). The interest rate during the year ended 2012 was renegotiated from LIBOR plus 5.0% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%) to LIBOR plus 4.5% (with no LIBOR floor). In conjunction with the Company's entrance into the 2013 Senior Facility, the 2012 Senior Facility was terminated.

The Company was required to pay an unused fee related to the 2012 Revolver equal to 0.30% per year if the aggregate unused amount was greater than or equal to 50% of the 2012 Revolver or 0.25% per year if the aggregate unused amount was less than 50% of the 2012 Revolver. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred $0.1 million of unused fees related to the 2012 Revolver.

During 2012, the Company also entered into a subordinated unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Subordinated Facility") with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management, Inc., a related party, which bore interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 1%) plus 8.50%. The default interest rate following a payment event of default under the Subordinated Facility was 2.00% more than the then-applicable interest rate. Interest was payable monthly.  In addition, the Company was required to pay a semiannual revolving credit fee of $0.3 million. On November 22, 2013, in conjunction with the Company's entrance into the 2013 Senior Facility, the Subordinated Facility was terminated.

NOTE 6 DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company records its derivative instruments in its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the derivative has been designated as a hedge and, if so, whether the hedge has met the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.

The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from the counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.

The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI/L") and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate borrowings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded no hedge ineffectiveness for the interest rate swap.

Amounts reported in AOCI/L related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2014, the Company expects that an additional $0.8 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.

Interest Rate Swap

The Company entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows on borrowings related to the West Valley Mall during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The interest related to this loan was computed at a variable rate of LIBOR

ROUSE PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

+ 1.75% and the Company swapped this for a fixed rate of 3.24%. The interest rate swap protects the Company from increases in the hedged cash flows attributable to increases in LIBOR. The interest rate swap matures in June 2018.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk:

Interest Rate Derivative	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount
		(in thousands)
Interest rate swap	1	$59,000

Non-Designated Hedges - Interest Rate Caps

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of the derivative not designated as hedges are recorded directly in earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, such amounts equaled $0.01 million. The Company did not have any non-designated hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding derivative that was not designated as a hedge in qualifying hedging relationships:

Other Disclosures

The estimated values of options granted in the stock option activity table above are based on the Black-Scholes pricing model using the assumptions in the table below.  The estimate of the risk-free interest rate are based on the average of a 5- and 10-year U.S. Treasury note on the date the options were granted.  The estimate of the dividend yield and expected volatility is based on certain historical and future projections of the Company.  The expected life is computed using the simplified method as the Company does not have historical stock option data. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following 2014 weighted-average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate	1.83	%
Dividend yield	3.70	%
Expected volatility	27.75	%
Expected life (in years)	6.5

As of March 31, 2014, there was $10.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to all nonvested options and restricted stock grants. Of this total, $2.9 million in 2014, $3.1 million in 2015, $2.4 million in 2016, $1.1 million in 2017, $0.6 million in 2018 and $0.1 million in 2019, will be recognized, respectively.  These amounts may be impacted by future grants, changes in forfeiture estimates or vesting terms, and actual forfeiture rates differing from estimated forfeiture rates.

The lease commenced in October 2012 with no payments due for the first 12 months. During April 2013, the Company amended the lease and expanded its current space. Effective December 30, 2013, the Brookfield subsidiary sold the office building in which the office space is located to a third party.

Subordinated Credit Facility with Brookfield

On the Spin-Off Date, the Company entered into the Subordinated Facility with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield, as lender, for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility.  The Company paid a one time upfront fee of $0.5 million related to this facility in 2012. In addition, the Company was required to pay a semi-annual revolving credit fee of $0.3 million related to this facility. On November 22, 2013, in conjunction with the Company's entrance into the 2013 Senior Facility, the Subordinated Facility was terminated (see Note 4).

Business Infrastructure Costs

Upon its spin-off from GGP, the Company commenced the development of its information technology platform. The development of this platform requires us to purchase, design and create various information technology applications and infrastructure. Brookfield Corporate Operations, LLC ("BCO") has been engaged to assist in the project development and to procure the various applications and infrastructure of the Company. The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million and $1.7 million of infrastructure costs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $8.2 million of infrastructure costs which were capitalized in buildings and equipment on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, of which there were no costs outstanding and payable.

Financial Service Center

Approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million in costs were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no costs outstanding and payable.

The Company was also required to pay a monthly information technology services fee to BCO.

The demand deposit is secured by a note from U.S. Holdings and guaranteed by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. The demand deposit had an original maturity of February 14, 2013 and has now been extended to August 14, 2014. However, the Company may demand the funds earlier by providing U.S. Holdings with three days notice. The Company earned approximately $0.2 million in interest income for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has $50.1 million on deposit with U.S. Holdings, which is recorded as a demand deposit from affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All references to numbered Notes are to specific footnotes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and which descriptions are incorporated into the applicable response by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related Notes. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) have the same meanings as in such Notes.

Forward-looking information

We may make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report and in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In addition, our senior management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, creditors, the media and others.

Forward-looking statements include:

• Descriptions of plans or objectives for future operations

• Projections of our revenues, net operating income (“NOI”), core net operating income (“Core NOI”), earnings per share, funds from operations (“FFO”), core funds from operations (“Core FFO”), capital expenditures, income tax and other contingent liabilities, dividends, leverage, capital structure or other financial items

• Forecasts of our future economic performance

• Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing

Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements often include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. They give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we might not update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made.

There are several factors, many beyond our control, which could cause results to differ materially from our expectations, some of which are described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report.  These factors are incorporated herein by reference. Any factor could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Overview—Introduction

As of March 31, 2014, our portfolio consisted of 34 regional malls in 21 states totaling over 23.5 million square feet of retail and ancillary space which are 89.9% leased and 86.1% occupied. We elected to be treated as a REIT beginning with the filing of our federal income tax return for the 2011 taxable year. As of March 31, 2014, we have met the requirements of a REIT and have filed our tax returns for the 2012 fiscal year accordingly. Subject to our ability to meet the requirements of a REIT, we intend to maintain this status in future periods.

The majority of the income from our properties is derived from rents received through long-term leases with retail tenants. These long-term leases generally require the tenants to pay base rent which is a fixed amount specified in the lease. The base rent is often subject to scheduled increases during the term of the lease. Our financial statements refer to this as "minimum rents." Certain of our leases also include a component which requires tenants to pay amounts related to all or substantially all of their share of real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses, including common area maintenance and insurance. The revenue earned attributable to real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recorded as "tenant recoveries." Another component of income is overage rent. Overage rent is paid by a tenant when its sales exceed an agreed upon minimum amount. Overage rent is calculated by multiplying the tenant's sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease. Overage rent is typically earned in the fourth quarter.

Our objective is to achieve growth in NOI, Core NOI, FFO and Core FFO by leasing, operating and repositioning retail properties with locations that are either market dominant (the only mall within an extended distance) or trade area dominant (the premier mall serving the defined regional consumer). We seek to continue to control costs and to deliver an appropriate tenant mix, higher occupancy rates and increased sales productivity, resulting in higher minimum rents.

We believe that the most significant operating factor affecting incremental cash flow, NOI, Core NOI, FFO and Core FFO is increased aggregate rents collected from tenants at our properties. These rental revenue increases are primarily achieved by:

26

• Increasing occupancy at the properties so that more space is generating rent;

• Increasing tenant sales in which we participate through overage rent;

• Re-leasing existing space and renewing expiring leases at rates higher than expiring or existing rates; and

• Prudently investing capital into our properties to generate an increased overall return.

Overview—Basis of Presentation

We were formed in August 2011 for the purpose of holding certain assets and assuming certain liabilities of GGP. Following the distribution of these assets and liabilities to us on January 12, 2012, we began operating our business as a stand-alone owner and operator of regional malls. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report has been presented on a consolidated basis for the periods presented.

Recent Developments

In January 2014, we issued 8,050,000 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $19.50 per share and raised approximately $150.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount. The proceeds from the offering were used in part to pay down the $48.0 million outstanding balance on the 2013 Revolver as of December 31, 2013, as well as, the additional $10.0 million that we borrowed during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In January 2014, we increased our demand deposit with Brookfield by $50.0 million with proceeds from the offering. The remaining proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including to fund future acquisitions, working capital and other needs.

In February 2014, we retired the $27.6 million outstanding mortgage debt balance on Bayshore Mall.

In February 2014, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter common stock dividend of $0.17 per share which was paid on April 30, 2014 to stockholders of record on April 15, 2014.

In March 2014, we exercised a portion of the accordion feature on our 2013 Senior Facility to increase the available borrowings of our 2013 Revolver thereunder from $250.0 million to $285.0 million.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2014, our total portfolio consisted of 34 properties (which excludes Boulevard Mall, which was disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2013). Properties that were owned and in operation as of January 1, 2013, excluding properties that are or will be undergoing construction to convert assets from enclosed malls to open air power centers and one asset that has been reclassified as a special consideration asset⁽¹⁾ are referred to as our Same Property portfolio. As of March 31, 2014, our Same Property portfolio consisted of 28 properties. The following table identifies which of our properties were excluded from our Same Property portfolio:

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 , which was primarily attributable to an increase in employee related costs due to new hires throughout 2013.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the properties that we acquired during 2013.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a reduction of interest expense due to lower interest rates on the loans we refinanced throughout 2013. We also reduced our interest expense by $0.6 million due to the write-off of market rate adjustments which was related to the payoff of Bayshore Mall. Also included in the decrease of interest expense is $0.9 million of an early extinguishment fee related to the refinancing of Lakeland Mall during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included the historical operations of Boulevard Mall, as we conveyed our interest in this property to the lender of the loan during 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, loss from discontinued operations included the provision for impairment of $21.7 million related to this property.

Same Property Material Trends

• Percentage leased increased to 90.5% as of March 31, 2014 from 89.9% as of March 31, 2013 in our Same Property portfolio. This increase is the result of signing leases representing aggregate space amounts greater than scheduled lease and space expirations since March 31, 2013.

• Same Property Core NOI was $34.7 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Core NOI has remained constant year over year. See "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a discussion of Core NOI and a reconciliation of Same Property Core NOI and Core NOI from the consolidated net loss as computed in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash include payment of operating expenses, working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment, including principal and interest, reinvestment in properties, development and redevelopment of properties, acquisitions, tenant allowances, and dividends.

Our primary sources of cash are operating cash flow, refinancings of existing loans, equity offerings, and borrowings under our 2013 Revolver.

Our short-term (less than one year) liquidity requirements include scheduled debt maturities, recurring operating costs, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, and dividend requirements on our shares of common stock. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operations and funds available under our 2013 Revolver.

Our long-term (greater than one year) liquidity requirements include scheduled debt maturities, capital expenditures to maintain, renovate and expand existing malls, property acquisitions, and development projects. Management anticipates that net cash

30

provided by operating activities, asset sales, the funds available under our 2013 Revolver, and funds received from subsequent equity offerings will provide sufficient capital resources to meet our long-term liquidity requirements.

As of March 31, 2014, our combined contractual debt, excluding non-cash debt market rate adjustments, was approximately $1.38 billion. The aggregate principal and interest payments due on our outstanding indebtedness as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $108.7 million for the year ending 2014 and approximately $120.0 million for the year ending 2015.

Property-Level Debt

We had individual Property-Level Debt on 18 of our 34 assets, representing $1.1 billion (excluding $9.1 million of market rate adjustments) as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the Property-Level Debt had a weighted average interest rate of 5.2% and an average remaining term of 4.8 years. The Property-Level Debt is generally non-recourse to us and is stand-alone (i.e, not cross-collateralized) first mortgage debt with the exception of customary contingent guarantees/indemnities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we retired the $27.6 million mortgage debt balance on Bayshore Mall.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no significant property loan refinancings. The following is a summary of significant property loan refinancings and acquisitions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 ($ in thousands):

Property	Date	Balance at Date of Refinancing		Interest Rate		Balance of New Loan		New Interest Rate		Net Proceeds (1)		Maturity

Explanatory Notes:

⁽¹⁾ Net proceeds is net of closing costs.

⁽²⁾ On March 6, 2013, the loan associated with the Lakeland Mall was refinanced for $65.0 million. Subsequently, on March 21, 2013, the loan was increased by $5.0 million to $70.0 million in order to partially fund the acquisition of an anchor building previously owned by a third party.

⁽³⁾ The loan provides for an additional subsequent funding of $5.0 million upon achieving certain conditions for a total funding of $71.5 million.

⁽⁴⁾ The loan is interest-only for the first three years and amortizes on a 30 year schedule thereafter. The loan has a five year extension option subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we entered into a swap transaction and now has a fixed interest rate of 3.24%.

⁽⁵⁾ The loan is interest-only. In conjunction with the acquisition of The Centre at Salisbury, we guaranteed a maximum amount of $3.5 million until certain financial covenants are met for two consecutive years.

Corporate Facilities

2013 Senior Facility

On November 22, 2013, we entered into the 2013 Senior Facility which provides borrowings on the 2013 Revolver of up to $250.0 million and $260.0 million on the 2013 Term Loan. Borrowings on the 2013 Senior Facility bear interest at LIBOR + 185 to 300 basis points based on our corporate leverage. Proceeds from the 2013 Senior Facility were used to retire our 2012 Senior Facility, including the 2012 Revolver and the 2012 Term Loan, and the $70.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan on The Southland Mall in California prior to its maturity date in January 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we exercised a portion of our "accordion" feature on our 2013 Senior Facility to increase the available borrowings of our 2013 Revolver thereunder from $250.0 million to $285.0 million. The term and rates of our 2013 Senior Facility were otherwise unchanged.

The 2013 Revolver has an initial term of four years with a one year extension option and the 2013 Term Loan has a term of five years. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we borrowed an additional $10.0 million on the 2013 Revolver bringing the outstanding balance on the 2013 Revolver to $58.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we repaid the $58.0 million outstanding balance on the 2013 Revolver and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2014.

We are required to pay an unused fee related to the 2013 Revolver equal to 0.20% per year if the aggregate unused amount is greater than or equal to 50% of the 2013 Revolver or 0.30% per year if the aggregate unused amount is less than 50% of the 2013 Revolver.  The default interest rate following a payment event of default under the 2013 Senior Facility is 3.00% more than the

31

then-applicable interest rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred $0.2 million of unused fees related to the 2013 Revolver.

The 2013 Senior Facility contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and defaults that are customary for such a real estate loan. In addition, the 2013 Senior Facility requires compliance with certain financial covenants, including borrowing base loan to value and debt yield, corporate maximum leverage ratio, minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges, minimum tangible net worth, minimum mortgaged property requirement, maximum unhedged variable rate debt and maximum recourse indebtedness. Failure to comply with the covenants in the 2013 Senior Facility would result in a default thereunder and, absent a waiver or an amendment from our lenders, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the 2013 Senior Facility. No assurance can be given that we would be successful in obtaining such waiver or amendment in this current financial climate, or that any accommodations that we were able to negotiate would be on terms as favorable as those in the 2013 Senior Facility. In addition, any such default may result in the cross-default of our other indebtedness. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of the debt covenants related to the 2013 Senior Facility.

2012 Senior Facility

On January 12, 2012, we entered into the 2012 Senior Facility. The interest rate during the year ended 2012 was renegotiated from LIBOR plus 5.0% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%) to LIBOR plus 4.5% (with no LIBOR floor). In conjunction with the Company's entrance into the 2013 Senior Facility, the 2012 Senior Facility was terminated.

We were required to pay an unused fee related to the 2012 Revolver equal to 0.30% per year if the aggregate unused amount was greater than or equal to 50% of the 2012 Revolver or 0.25% per year if the aggregate unused amount was less than 50% of the 2012 Revolver. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred $0.1 million of unused fees related to the 2012 Revolver.

During 2012, we also entered into the Subordinated Facility which bore interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 1%) plus 8.50%. The default interest rate following a payment event of default under the Subordinated Facility was 2.00% more than the then-applicable interest rate. Interest was payable monthly.  In addition, we were required to pay a semiannual revolving credit fee of $0.3 million. On November 22, 2013, in conjunction with our entrance into the 2013 Senior Facility, the Subordinated Facility was terminated.

Hedging Instruments

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swaps and caps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from the counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.

The table below presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Instrument Type	Location in consolidated balance sheets	Notional Amount		Designated Benchmark Interest Rate	Strike Rate		Fair Value at March 31, 2014			Fair Value at December 31, 2013		Maturity Date

Capital Expenditures

Redevelopment

We continue to evaluate and execute the redevelopment of various malls within our portfolio in order to generate increased returns. A component of our business strategy is to identify value creation initiatives for our properties and to then invest capital to reposition and refresh our properties. These redevelopment opportunities are typically commenced in conjunction with leasing activity for the respective space. We anticipate funding our redevelopment projects with the net cash provided by operating activities and corporate and property level borrowings.

The table below describes our current redevelopment projects, which commenced during 2013 (dollars in thousands):

Property	Description	Total Project Square Feet	Total Estimated Project Cost	Cost as of March 31, 2014
Bayshore Mall Eureka, CA	Convert former junior anchor space and unproductive space to accommodate new tenants including recently opened TJ Maxx, Ulta, and The Sports Authority	60,000	$8,300	$5,801
Lansing Mall Lansing, MI	Replace vacant anchor space with Regal Cinema and add multiple outparcels	66,000	$14,900	$12,903
Three Rivers Mall Kelso, WA	Convert anchors and unproductive space to Regal Cinemas, Sportsman's Warehouse and high volume restaurants	103,000	$20,100	$1,473
Knollwood Mall St. Lous Park, MN	De-mall and construct new exterior facing junior boxes, small shops, and a new multi-tenant outparcel building	118,000	$32,200	$2,059

Summary of Cash Flows

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which was consistent with net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $11.0 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(72.2) million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $85.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014. we increased our demand deposit by $50.1 million with Holdings. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we reduced this same demand deposit by $110.0 million in order to pay down $100.0 million on our 2012 Term Loan.

33

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $61.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $(91.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The increase of $153.2 million in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $150.7 million in net proceeds we received from our common stock offering during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Principal payments were $32.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $157.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The reduction in principal payments is primarily due to the $100.0 million paydown on our 2012 Term Loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we also repaid our outstanding balance of $58.0 million on our 2013 Revolver.

Contractual Cash Obligations and Commitments

The following table aggregates our contractual cash obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2014:

	2014	2015	2016	2017	2018	Thereafter	Total
	(in thousands)
Long-term debt-principal(1)	$61,185	$59,151	$336,931	$211,589	$325,821	$388,631	$1,383,308

Explanatory Notes:

⁽¹⁾ Excludes $9.1 million of non-cash debt market rate adjustments.

⁽²⁾ Based on rates as of March 31, 2014. Variable rates are based on LIBOR rate of 0.15%.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

REIT Requirements

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, we must distribute or pay tax on 100% of our capital gains and we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. To avoid current entity level U.S. federal income taxes, we plan to distribute 100% of our capital gains and ordinary income to our stockholders annually. We may not have sufficient liquidity to meet these distribution requirements. We have no present intention to pay any dividends on our common stock in the future other than in order to maintain our REIT status. Our board of directors may decide to pay dividends in the form of cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock.

Seasonality

Although we have a year-long temporary leasing program, occupancies for short-term tenants and, therefore, rental income recognized, are higher during the second half of the year. In addition, the majority of our tenants have December or January lease years for purposes of calculating annual overage rent amounts. Accordingly, overage rent thresholds are most commonly achieved in the fourth quarter. As a result, revenue production is generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, recoverable amounts of receivables, initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of debt, valuation of stock options granted and hedging instruments. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

34

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our Annual Report and have not changed as of March 31, 2014.

35

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Real Estate Property Net Operating Income and Core Net Operating Income

We present NOI and Core NOI, as defined below, in this Quarterly Report as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that NOI and Core NOI are useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. We define NOI as operating revenues (minimum rents, including lease termination fees, tenant recoveries, overage rents, and other income) less property and related expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing, other property expenses, and provision for doubtful accounts). We define Core NOI as NOI excluding straight-line rent, amortization of tenant inducements, amortization of above and below-market tenant leases, and amortization of above and below-market ground rent expense. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and Core NOI and, accordingly, our NOI and Core NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

Because NOI and Core NOI exclude general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment, reorganization items, strategic initiatives, provision for income taxes, gain on extinguishment of debt, straight-line rent, above and below-market tenant leases, and above and below-market ground leases, we believe that NOI and Core NOI provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating regional shopping malls and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. These measures thereby provide an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). We use NOI and Core NOI to evaluate our operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI and Core NOI allow us to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on our operating results, gross margins and investment returns.

In addition, management believes that NOI and Core NOI provide useful information to the investment community about our operating performance. However, due to the exclusions noted above, NOI and Core NOI should only be used as supplemental measures of our financial performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). For reference, and as an aid in understanding management's computation of NOI and Core NOI, a reconciliation from the consolidated net loss as computed in accordance with GAAP to NOI and Core NOI (including Same Property portfolio Core NOI) is presented below:

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

Consistent with real estate industry and investment community practices, we use FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs on depreciable real estate, gains or losses from cumulative effects of accounting changes, extraordinary items and sales of depreciable properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. We also include Core FFO as a supplemental measurement of operating performance. We define Core FFO as FFO excluding straight-line rent, amortization of tenant inducements, amortization of above-and below-market tenant leases, amortization of above-and below-market ground rent expense, reorganization items, amortization of deferred financing costs, mark-to-market adjustments on debt, write-off of market rate adjustments on debt, write-off of deferred financing costs, debt extinguishment costs, provision for income taxes, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other costs. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and Core FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

We consider FFO and Core FFO useful supplemental measures and a complement to GAAP measures because they facilitate an understanding of the operating performance of our properties. FFO does not include real estate depreciation and amortization required by GAAP because these amounts are computed to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Since values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, we believe that FFO provides investors with a clearer view of our operating performance, particularly with respect to our mall properties. Core FFO does not include certain items that are non-cash and certain non-comparable items. FFO and Core FFO are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, operating income (loss), net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

For reference, and as an aid in understanding management's computation of FFO and Core FFO, a reconciliation from the consolidated net loss as computed in accordance with GAAP to FFO and Core FFO is presented below:
