Lessor Leases:

The Company leases its Centers under agreements that are classified as operating leases. These leases generally include minimum rents, percentage rents and recoveries of real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses. Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Percentage rents are recognized and accrued when tenants' specified sales targets have been met. Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries are recognized as revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. For leasing revenues in which collectability is not considered probable, lease income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized tenant accounts receivables, including straight-line rent, are fully reserved in the period in which the lease income is determined not to be probable of collection.
