INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Members of
JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, members’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 
1.  
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization — JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC (the “Company”) was formed in July 2003 for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating Gulf Coast Town Center, a regional open-air shopping center in Ft. Myers, FL. On April 27, 2005, JG Gulf Coast Member LLC and CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (“CBL”), formed a 50/50 joint venture when CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC was admitted to the Company as a 50% member. CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC contributed $40,334,978 in exchange for its 50% member interest. The Company then distributed that amount to JG Gulf Coast Member LLC as reimbursement of the aggregate acquisition and development costs incurred with respect to the project, which were previously paid by JG Gulf Coast Member LLC.
 
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC must provide any additional equity necessary to fund the development of the property, as well as fund up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of operating deficits of the Company. Cash flows of the Company are distributed to the members in accordance with the priority of each member’s capital account and, upon equalization between the members, cash flow will be shared equally.
 
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, members’ deficit of the Company was as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
             
CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC
  $ (9,711,630 )   $ (1,601,531 )
JG Gulf Coast Member, LLC
    (15,933,603 )     (12,441,828 )
                 
Total
  $ (25,645,233 )   $ (14,043,359 )
 
The members’ equity accounts included in the accompanying balance sheets were determined based on the initial contributions of each respective member being recorded at the carrying value of the contributed assets upon the formation of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, the distribution of cash flows to the members is determined based on the priority of each member’s capital account as set forth in the Agreement. There have been certain distributions to CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC, which for GAAP purposes were recorded at carryover basis and at fair value for purposes of determining the capital accounts in accordance with the Agreement. Accordingly, the capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement differ from the capital accounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, members’ capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement were as summarized in the table below. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

The members can earn an 11% preferred return on any unreturned mandatory contributions.
 
In connection with obtaining the mortgage note payable discussed in Note 2, CBL guaranteed that the Company would complete construction and tenant improvement work related to certain leases. The total exposure under this guarantee was $503,358 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. CBL’s obligation is reduced as construction and tenant improvement work is completed. In connection with obtaining the construction loan (as discussed in Note 2), CBL has guaranteed 100% of the outstanding balance of the construction loan. The guarantee will expire upon repayment of the debt. CBL has the right to obtain indemnity of its costs from the Company as well as to assume the rights of the lender, as applicable, if it is required to perform under any of these guarantees.
 
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 31, 2011, the date of issuance of these financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition — Fixed minimum rents from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.
 
The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue when billed.
 
Real Estate Assets — Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of buildings and improvements (20 to 40 years) and equipment (5 to 10 years). Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Depreciation expense was $8,043,197, $7,445,835, and $7,511,781 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
 
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets — The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when its estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value will be charged to operations. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, or 2008.
 
Deferred Leasing Costs — Deferred leasing costs include direct costs incurred to originate a lease and are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases. Amortization expense was $323,454, $279,027, and $246,254 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $815,354 and $592,403 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized using the straight-line method to interest expense over the term of the mortgage note payable. Amortization expense was $248,281, $319,783, and $283,642 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008,
 
7

 
 
 
respectively. Accumulated amortization was $943,909 and $695,628 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Income Taxes — No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes since these taxes are the responsibility of the members.
 
Other Income — Other income includes commissions and other miscellaneous customer and tenant receipts.
 
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Value Measurements — The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 — Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2 — Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3 — Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.
 
As of December 31, 2010, no assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
 
2.  
MORTGAGE AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE
 
The Company has a non-recourse, commercial mortgage-backed securities loan from KeyBank National Association (“Keybank”), acting in the capacity of the servicer of the loan (the “Servicer”) in the amount of $190,800,000. The loan matures in July 2017 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.601%. The monthly payments of $890,559 are interest only with a balloon payment of $190,800,000, plus unpaid interest due on the maturity date. The mortgage note payable is collateralized by the shopping center properties and assignment of all leases.
 
The mortgage note agreement contains, among other covenants, restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness and transfers and sales of assets. It also requires that a minimum debt service coverage ratio be maintained for the purpose of establishing a cash management account with the Servicer. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not meet the minimum required debt service coverage ratio and, as a result, the Company has placed the property under a cash management agreement with the Servicer. In addition, the Company was required to fund certain escrow reserves as required under the mortgage note agreement, until such time that the Company meets the required minimum debt service coverage ratio. Under the cash management agreement, the Servicer controls the Company’s cash account and,
 
 
8

 
 
on a monthly basis, releases any excess cash to the Company after the monthly debt service and escrow funding amounts have been received. The Company’s net operating cash flows were sufficient to meet its debt service requirements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.
 
In connection with the origination of the mortgage note payable, the Company was required to obtain an additional collateral letter of credit for the benefit of the Servicer. The letter of credit was required to provide the Servicer with additional collateral if the rental income to be received by the Company under a certain tenant lease was less than $4,590,503. The required amount of the letter of credit is reduced as the tenant’s sales exceed certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the tenant’s sales did not exceed the threshold required to reduce the amount of the letter of credit. During 2009, the initial letter of credit expired and the Company deposited cash in escrow with the Servicer in the amount of $4,590,503 as a replacement of the letter of credit.  In March 2010, the Company obtained a letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo for the amount specified in the note payable and the full amount of the escrow deposit was refunded to the Company.
 
In May 2008, the Company obtained a recourse construction loan with total capacity of $11,775,000 for the development of Gulf Coast Town Center Phase III (“Phase III”) with KeyBank at a variable interest rate of 150 basis points over the one month London InterBank Offered Rate. The loan matures in April 2011 and has a one-year extension available, at the Company’s election. The Company intends to repay this loan at that time.  The outstanding balance was $11,560,980 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The construction loan is collateralized by Phase III and the assignment of its leases.
 
The fair value of mortgage and other notes payable was $179,162,404and $171,705,922 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows for the notes payable using an estimated market rate of 8.0% and 8.5% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Members of
Triangle Town Member, LLC:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Triangle Town Member, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, members’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TRIANGLE TOWN MEMBER, LLC
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 

1.
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization — Triangle Town Member, LLC (the “Company”) was formed on November 16, 2005, for the purpose of owning and operating Triangle Town Center, a regional shopping mall in Raleigh, North Carolina; an attached lifestyle center, Triangle Town Commons; and an adjacent associated center, Triangle Town Place. The Company is a joint venture with the following members as of December 31, 2010:

Ownership
Interest
 
       
CBL Triangle Town Member, LLC
    50.000 %
REJ Realty LLC
    49.500
JG Realty Investors Corp.
    0.484
JG Manager, LLC
    0.016

The initial contribution of REJ Realty LLC, JG Realty Investors Corp., and JG Manager, LLC (collectively, the “REJ Members”) consisted of the three shopping centers, which were recorded on the Company’s balance sheets at their carryover basis. CBL Triangle Town Member, LLC (“CBL Member”) made an initial cash contribution of $1,472,433. Concurrent with its formation, the Company entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan of $200,000,000 (see Note 2). The net proceeds from the loan were used to retire an existing construction loan totaling $121,828,000, and the remaining net proceeds were paid to the REJ Members as a partial return of their equity contribution. The Company’s equity will be equalized between the REJ Members and CBL Member through future contributions by CBL Member and through property cash flow distributions.
 
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), CBL Member is required to fund any additional equity necessary for capital expenditures, including future development or expansion of the Company’s properties, and any operating deficits up to a maximum of $30,000,000. The Company’s profits and losses are allocated to the REJ Members and CBL Member in accordance with their respective ownership interests. CBL Member receives a preferred return on its invested capital in the Company. After payment of such preferred return and repayment of CBL Member’s invested capital and repayment of the balance of the REJ Members’ equity, the REJ Members and CBL Member will share equally in the Company’s cash flows.
 
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, members’ deficit of the Company was as follows:

    $ (57,520,623 )   $ (50,499,094 )

The members’ equity accounts included in the accompanying balance sheets were determined based upon the initial contributions of each respective member being recorded at the carrying

value of the contributed assets upon the formation of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, the distribution of cash flows to the members is determined based upon the priority of each member’s capital account as set forth in the Agreement. Under the Agreement, each member’s initial capital contribution was based on agreed-upon values as set forth in the Agreement, which were not equal to the historical carryover basis recorded in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement differ from the capital accounts recorded in accompanying balance sheets. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, members’ capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement were as summarized in the table below. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning as set forth in the Agreement.

The CBL Member earns an 11% interest return on any mandatory contributions.
 
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 31, 2011, the date of issuance of these financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition — Fixed minimum rents from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.
 
The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue when billed.
 
Real Estate Assets — Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of buildings and improvements (20–40 years) and equipment (5–10 years). Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Depreciation expense was $9,587,042, $9,601,448, and $9,342,066 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $45,693,615 and $37,275,432 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets — The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when its estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value will be charged to operations. There were no impairment charges in 2010, 2009, or 2008.
 
Cash — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash.
 
Deferred Leasing Costs — Deferred leasing costs include direct costs incurred to originate a lease and are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.
 
 
7

 
 
Amortization expense was $597,420, $595,896, and $662,593 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $2,481,488 and $2,100,294 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized using the straight-line method to interest expense over the term of the mortgage note payable. Amortization expense was $90,113, $90,113, and $90,114 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $397,327 and $307,214 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Income Taxes — No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes since these taxes are the responsibility of the members.
 
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Value Measurements — The Company has categorized its financial assets and  liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 — Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2 — Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3 — Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.
 
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
 
2.
MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE
 
Concurrent with the formation of the Company, the Company obtained a non-recourse, commercial mortgage-backed securities loan from Wachovia Bank, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., acting in the capacity of the servicer of the loan (the “Servicer”), that matures on December 5, 2015, and bears interest at 5.74%. The monthly payments were interest-only in the amount of $956,167, until January 5, 2008. Thereafter, the monthly payments of $1,197,282 thereafter include principal and interest. A balloon payment of $170,713,179, plus unpaid interest, is due on the maturity date. The mortgage note payable is collateralized by the shopping center properties and assignment of all leases.
 
 
8

 
 
The mortgage note agreement contains, among other covenants, restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness and transfers and sales of assets. It also requires that a minimum debt service coverage ratio be maintained for the purpose of establishing a cash management account with the Servicer. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not meet the minimum required debt service coverage ratio and as a result the Company has placed the property under a cash management agreement with the Servicer. In addition, the Company was required to fund certain escrow reserves as required under the mortgage note agreement, until such time that the Company meets the required minimum debt service coverage ratio. Under the cash management agreement, the Servicer maintains control of the Company’s cash account and, on a monthly basis, releases excess cash to the Company after the monthly debt service and escrow funding amounts have been received. The Company’s net operating cash flows were sufficient to meet its debt service requirements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.
 
The fair value of the mortgage note payable was $181,014,090 and $170,278,768 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows for the note payable using an estimated market rate of 7.0% as of December 31, 2010, and 8.5% at December 31, 2009.
 
Scheduled principal payments on the mortgage note payable are as follows:

December 31,
