Exhibit 99.1
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF TRCLP, A SUBSIDIARY
OF GGPLP
The following is unaudited consolidated financial information for our subsidiary, The Rouse Company L.P. (“TRCLP”), as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of TRCLP, its subsidiaries and joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of operations (generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage) is included in Minority Interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The results for the interim period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.
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 period. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to 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, and cost ratios and completion percentages used for land sales. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of TRCLP’s financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 have not changed during 2007.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF TRCLP OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Overview
Effective January 1, 2007, Rouse Property Management, Inc. (“RPMI”), a taxable REIT subsidiary of TRCLP, was merged into GGMI, a taxable REIT subsidiary of GGPLP. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, the operations of RPMI prior to the merger date have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying TRCLP financial statements.
In addition, effective March 31, 2007, through a series of transactions, a private REIT owned by GGPLP was contributed to TRCLP and that additional TRS became a qualified REIT subsidiary of that private REIT (“the Private REIT/TRS Restructuring”). This Private REIT/TRS Restructuring resulted in approximately a $330 million decrease in our net deferred tax liabilities, an approximate $30 million increase in our current taxes payable and an approximate $300 million income tax benefit related to the properties now owned by the private REIT. In accordance with the guidance established for mergers involving affiliates under common control, the financial statements of TRCLP have been restated to include the results of the private REIT for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interests. This restructuring increased total assets by $2.5 billion, total liabilities by $2.1 billion and total partners’ capital by $0.4 billion as of December 31, 2006. As a result of the restatement, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was also increased by $49.8 million.

Exhibit 99.1
In June 2007 as part of a final settlement, we negotiated an additional payment of $13.5 million with our insurance carrier for all outstanding claims related to Riverwalk Marketplace, including property damage and business interruption. As a result of the settlement, during the second quarter of 2007, the proceeds from the additional payment were first applied against the Riverwalk Marketplace insurance recovery receivable (approximately $1.9 million) and the remainder was recognized as business interruption, of which approximately $6.8 million is included as minimum rent and approximately $4.8 million was included as a reduction to provision for doubtful accounts in the accompanying TRCLP Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Revenues
Tenant rents (which includes minimum rents, tenant recoveries, and overage rents) increased in 2007 primarily due to increased gross rents from tenants at various properties and the insurance settlement discussed above. Tenant recovery revenues at various properties also increased in 2007 due to higher occupancy and property operating expenses. Such increase was partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease in lease termination income in 2007 as compared to 2006. These increases in revenue were more than offset by a $103.9 million decrease in land sales primarily due to decreased sales at our Summerlin development during 2007.
Operating expenses
Property operating costs increased primarily as a result of increased insurance and utility costs in 2007. Real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance and other property operating expenses are generally recoverable from tenants and the increases in these expenses are generally consistent with the increases in tenant recovery revenues. These increases were more than offset by a $67.2 million decrease in land sales operations expense related to the decreased land sales activity discussed above.
Net income
Interest expense increased as a result of higher interest rates and higher year over year average outstanding debt balances primarily during the first quarter of 2007. The benefit (provision) for income taxes was directly impacted by the TRS restructurings mentioned above.
Cash position at September 30, 2007
TRCLP’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $41.2 million to $24.3 million as of September 30, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006. The cash position of TRCLP is largely determined at any point in time by the relative short-term demands for cash by TRCLP and GGP, TRCLP’s parent. TRCLP expects to remain current with respect to its debt obligations and be able to access additional funds as required from GGP.
