PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
FORMATION OF THE COMPANY
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-managed,
self-administered, fully-integrated real estate company which is
engaged in the ownership, operation, marketing, management, leasing,
expansion, development, redevelopment, acquisition and financing of
regional malls and community and neighborhood centers. The Company
was incorporated on July 13, 1993 under the laws of the State of Delaware
to acquire an interest in substantially all of the real estate properties
owned by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its affiliates ("CBL") and to
provide a public vehicle for the expansion of CBL's shopping center
business.
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through CBL &
Associates limited partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"), in which the Company owns an indirect 67.7% interest and of which
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary is the sole general partner. To comply
with certain technical requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") applicable to Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("REIT's"),
the Company's property management and development activities, sales of
peripheral land and maintenance and security operations are carried out through
CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").
On November 3, 1993, the Company completed the initial public offering,
(the "Offering"), of 15,400,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"). Simultaneously with the completion of the Offering,
CBL transferred to the Operating Partnership substantially all of CBL's
interests in its real estate properties and its management and development
operations in exchange for an interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL also
acquired an additional interest in the Operating Partnership for a cash payment.
Each of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership may, at the
election of its respective holder, be exchanged for shares of Common Stock of
the Company, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code.
The Offering and the application of proceeds therefrom, including the
Operating Partnership's acquisition of certain property interests, and the
contribution by CBL of property interests to the Operating Partnership, are
referred to herein as the "Formation."
In September 1995, the Company completed a follow-on offering of 4,163,500
shares of its Common Stock at $20.625 per share. CBL purchased 150,000 of these
shares.
In January 1997, the Company completed a follow-on offering of 3,000,000
shares of its Common Stock at $26.125 per share. CBL purchased 55,000 of
these shares as part of the offering.
-3-
In July 1998, the Company purchased a .3565% limited partner interest
valued at $3.0 million from a former executive and minority limited partner in
the Operating Partnership.
In July 1998, the Company acquired Hickory Hollow Mall, Rivergate Mall, The
Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, The Village at Rivergate and Lions Head Village,
all located in the metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee area. The purchase price of
$247.4 million was funded with a ten-year fixed-rate loan in the amount of
$182.7 million, the issuance by the Operating Partnership of a limited partner
interest with a value of $15,292,394 and the balance funded from the Company's
credit lines.
In August 1998, the Company acquired Meridian Mall in Lansing (Oskemos),
Michigan and Janesville Mall in Janesville, Wisconsin. The purchase price of
$138 million was funded with an acquisition loan of $80 million, the assumption
of a $ 17 million loan, the issuance by the Operating Partnership of a limited
partner interest with a value of $52,964,737 and the excess loan proceeds of
12.1 million were used to pay down the Company's credit lines.
During 1998, the Company purchased from CBL parcels of land for the
expansion and development of existing properties in Nashville, Tennessee,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, Radford, Virginia, and Columbus, Georgia for a total
value of $1,583,838. The Operating Partnership issued limited partner interests
to CBL in return for the parcels of land.
After giving effect to the above transactions, CBL holds a 25.8% limited
partner interest in the Operating Partnership, the Company holds a 67.7%
general and limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership and third
parties hold a 6.5% limited partner interest. In addition, CBL holds
approximately 1.7 million of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for a total
ownership share of 30.5%.
In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000 shares
of 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred
Stock") at a price to the public of $25.00 per share, The net proceeds of $70
million were used to repay variable rate indebtedness incurred in the Company's
development and acquisition programs.
GENERAL
The Company owns interests in a portfolio of properties, which as of
December 31, 1998 consisted of 28 enclosed regional malls (the "Malls"), 14
associated centers (the "Associated Centers"), each of which is part of a
regional shopping mall complex, and 82 independent community and neighborhood
shopping centers (the "Community Centers"). Except for ten Malls, three
Associated Centers and three Community Centers which were acquired from third
parties, each of these properties was developed by CBL or the Company.
Additionally, as of December 31, 1998, the Company owned one regional Mall,
one Associated Center, one power center and two neighborhood shopping centers
currently under construction (the "Construction Properties"). The Company also
owned as of December 31, 1998, options to acquire certain shopping center
development sites (the "Development Properties").
The Company also owned as of December 31, 1998, mortgages (the "Mortgages")
on community and neighborhood shopping centers owned by non-CBL affiliates. The
Mortgages were granted in connection with sales by CBL of certain properties
previously developed by CBL. The Company also owns an interest in a three-story
office building in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the major portion of which serves as
the Company's headquarters (the "Office Building"). The Malls, Associated
Centers, Community Centers, Construction Properties, Development Properties,
Mortgages and Office Building are collectively referred to herein as the
"Properties" and individually as a "Property".
-4-
As of December 31, 1998 the Company had also entered into standby purchase
agreements with third-party developers for the construction, development and
potential ownership of four community centers in Georgia and Texas (the "Co-
Development Projects"). The developers have utilized these standby purchase
agreements as additional security for their lenders to fund the construction
of the Co-Development Projects. The standby purchase agreements for each of
the Co-Development Projects require the Company to purchase the related
Co-Development Project upon such Co-Development Project meeting certain
completion requirements and rental levels. In return for its commitment to
purchase a Co-Development Project pursuant to a standby purchase agreement, the
Company receives a fee as well as a participation interest in each
Co-Development Project. The outstanding amount of standby purchase agreements at
December 31, 1998 is $116.4 million.
The Company and the Operating Partnership generally own a 100% interest in
the Properties. With two exceptions, where the Company and the Operating
Partnership own less than a 100% interest in a Property, the Operating
Partnership is the sole general partner, managing general partner or managing
member of the property partnership or limited liability company which owns such
Property (each a "Property Partnership"). For one Mall and its Associated
Center, affiliates of the Operating Partnership are non-managing general
partners in the two Property Partnerships owning those Properties.
For a full description of the Properties, see Item 2 Properties
The Companies executive office are loacated at 6148 Lee Highway, Suite 300,
Chattanooga, Tn 37421-6511. The telephone number at this address is (423)
855-0001.
MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF PROPERTIES
MANAGEMENT COMPANY
The Company is self-managed and self-administered. To comply with certain
technical requirements of the Code, the Company's property management and
development activities, sales of peripheral land are carried out through the
Management Company.
The Operating Partnership holds 100% of the preferred stock and 5% of the
common stock of the Management Company. The remaining 95% of the common stock is
held by Charles Lebovitz, his family and the associates. Substantially all of
CBL's asset management, property management and leasing and development
operations, including CBL's executive, property, financial, legal and
administrative personnel, were transferred to the Management Company as part of
the Formation. The Management Company manages all of the Properties (except for
Governor's Square and Governor's Plaza in Clarksville, Tennessee - see below)
under a management agreement that may be terminated at any time by the
Operating Partnership upon 30 days written notice. In addition, the Management
Company manages certain properties owned by CBL that were not transferred to
the Company in the Formation as well as certain shopping centers owned by
non-CBL affiliates. Through its ownership of the Management Company's preferred
stock, the Operating Partnership enjoys substantially all of the economic
benefits of the Management Company's business. Requirements set forth in the
Management Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
state that a majority of the Management Company's board of directors
are required to be independent of CBL. From November 1993 to the current
date, the board of directors of the Management Company has consisted of the
same individuals as the Company's board of directors, including the four
independent directors.
ON-SITE MANAGEMENT
The on-site property management functions at the Malls include leasing,
management, data processing, rent collection, project bookkeeping, budgeting,
marketing, and promotion. Each Mall, for itself and its Associated Centers, has
an on-site property manager who oversees the on-site staff and an on-site
-5-
marketing director who oversees the marketing program for that Mall. District
managers, most of whom are located at the Company's headquarters, oversee the
leasing and operations at a majority of the Community Centers. The on-site Mall
managers are experienced managers with training in mall management.
Virtually all operating activities of the Company are supported by a
computer software system which is designed to provide management with operating
data necessary to make informed business decisions on a timely basis. During
1994, the Company implemented a new management information system which included
hardware and software. During 1998, the Company completed a hardware upgrade to
the accounting system and implemented a web site to publish integrated
information on the world wide web. These systems were developed to more
efficiently assist management in efforts to maintain management quality, enhance
investor relations and communications and enhance tenant relations while
minimizing operating expenses. Retail sales analysis, leasing information,
budget controls, accounts receivable/payable, operating expense variance reports
and income analysis are continually available to management. Through these
systems management also has available information that facilitates the
development and monitoring of budgets and other relevant information. See Item
7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Year 2000.
Management pursues periodic preventative maintenance programs, which
encompass paving, roofing, HVAC and general improvements to the Properties'
common areas. The on-site property managers oversee all such work in accordance
with approved budgets with the coordination of and reporting to management.
GOVERNOR'S SQUARE
Governor's Square and Governor's Plaza are the only Properties in the
Company's portfolio in which the Company is not the sole general partner or
managing general partner. Governor's Square is owned by a Property Partnership,
the managing general partner of which is a non-CBL affiliate which owns a 47.5%
interest in the Mall. The Company is a non-managing general partner of
Governor's Plaza. Although the managing general partner of this partnership
controls the timing of distributions of cash flow, the Company's approval is
required for certain major decisions, including permanent financing, refinancing
and sale of all or substantially all of the partnership's assets. Property
management services, including accounting, auditing, maintenance, promotional
programs, leasing, collection and insurance, are performed by a property manager
affiliated with the non-CBL managing general partner for which such property
manager receives a fee.
EMPLOYEES
The Company, through the Management Company, currently employs
approximately 346 full time and 166 part time persons. None of these employees
is currently represented by any union. The Company does not have any employees
other than its statutory officers.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs
of removal or remediation of petroleum, certain hazardous or toxic substances
on, under or in such real estate. Such laws typically impose such liability
without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for,
the presence of such substances. The costs of remediation or removal of such
substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the
failure to promptly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's
or operator's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real
estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of
hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, regardless
of whether such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain laws also
impose requirements on conditions and activities that may affect the environment
or the impact of the environment on human health. Failure to comply with such
requirements could result in the imposition of monetary penalties (in addition
to the costs to achieve compliance) and potential liabilities to third parties.
-6-
Among other things, certain laws require abatement or removal of friable and
certain non-friable asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs") in the event of
demolition or certain renovations or remodeling. Certain laws regarding ACMs
require building owners and lessees, among other things, to notify and train
certain employees working in areas known or presumed to contain ACMs. Certain
laws also impose liability for release of ACMs into the air and third parties
may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal
injury or property damage associated with ACMs. In connection with its ownership
and operation of the Properties, the Company, the Operating Partnership or the
relevant Property Partnership, as the case may be, may be potentially liable for
such costs or claims.
All of the Properties (but not properties for which the Company holds an
option to purchase but does not yet own) have been subject to Phase I
environmental assessments or updates of existing Phase I environmental
assessments within approximately the last six years. Such assessments generally
consisted of a visual inspection of the Properties, review of federal and state
environmental databases and certain information regarding historic uses of the
Property and adjacent areas and the preparation and issuance of written reports.
Some of the Properties contain, or contained, underground storage tanks ("UST"s)
used for storing petroleum products or wastes typically associated with
automobile service or other operations conducted at the Properties. However,
certain environmental conditions are being evaluated at the recently acquired
Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama (a 50% joint venture property). There
appears to be a high potential for adverse environmental conditions,
specifically Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, in the vicinity of an auto service
center which had USTs. The Company has ordered additional engineering studies
and as part of the redevelopment is proceeding to correct the environmental
conditions at the site. Certain Properties contain, or contained, dry-cleaning
establishments utilizing solvents. Where believed to be warranted, samplings of
building materials or subsurface investigations were, or, with respect to one
Property, will be undertaken. At certain Properties, where warranted by the
conditions, the Company has developed and implemented an operations and
maintenance program that establishes operating procedures with respect to ACMs.
The costs associated with the development and implementation for such programs
were not material.
Although there can be no assurances that such environmental liability does
not exist, other than Parkway City in Huntsville, Alabama, none of the
environmental assessments have identified and the Company is not aware of any
environmental liability with respect to the properties in which the Company or
the Operating Partnership has or had an interest (whether as an owner or
operator) that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Nevertheless, it is possible that the environmental assessments available to the
Company do not reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that subsequent
investigations will identify material contamination, that adverse environmental
conditions have arisen subsequent to the performance of the environmental
assessments, or that there are material environmental liabilities of which
management is unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be given that (i) future
laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental
liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of the Properties has not
been or will not be affected by tenants and occupants of the Properties, by the
condition of properties in the vicinity of the Properties or by third parties
unrelated to the Company, the Operating Partnership or the relevant Property
Partnership. The existence of any such environmental liability could have an
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flow and the funds
available to the Company to pay dividends.
The Company has not recorded in its financial statements any material
liability in connection with environmental matters.
GENERAL RISKS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS
General Factors Affecting Investments in Shopping Center Properties and
Effect of Economic and Real Estate Conditions
A shopping center's revenues and value may be adversely affected by a
number of factors, including: the national and regional economic climates; local
real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of retail space); perceptions by
retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the
shopping center; and the willingness and ability of the shopping center's owner
to provide capable management and maintenance services. In addition, other
factors may adversely affect a shopping center's value without affecting its
current revenues, including: changes in governmental regulations, zoning or tax
laws; potential environmental or other legal liabilities; availability of
-7-
financing; and changes in interest rate levels. There are numerous shopping
facilities that compete with the Properties in attracting retailers to lease
space. In addition, retailers at the Properties face continued competition from
discount shopping centers, outlet malls, wholesale clubs, direct mail,
telemarketing, television shopping networks and shopping via the Internet.
Competition could adversely affect the Operating Partnership's revenues
and funds available for distribution to partners, which in turn will
affect the Company's revenues and funds available for distribution to
stockholders.
Geographic Concentration
The Properties are located principally in the southeastern United States in
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Nineteen Malls, thirteen Associated Centers,
sixty-two Community Centers and the Office Building are located in these states.
The Company's results of operations and funds available for distribution to
stockholders therefore will be subject generally to economic conditions in the
southeastern United States. As of December 31, 1998, the Properties located in
the southeastern United States accounted for 60.5% of the Company's total
assets, and provided 69.2% of the Company's total revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
Third Party Interests In Certain Properties
The Operating Partnership owns partial interests in seven Malls, five
Associated Centers, one Community Center and the Office Building. The Operating
Partnership or an affiliate of the Company is the managing general partner of
the Property Partnerships that own such Properties, except for the Governor's
Square Mall and its Associated Center, Governor's Plaza, in which affiliates of
the Operating Partnership are non-managing general partners.
Where the Operating Partnership serves as managing general partner of
Property Partnerships, it may have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the
other partners in those partnerships. In certain cases, the approval or consent
of the other partners is required before the Operating Partnership may sell,
finance, expand or make other significant changes in the operations of such
Properties. To the extent such approvals or consents are required, the Operating
Partnership may experience difficulty in, or may be prevented from implementing
its plans with respect to expansion, development, financing or other similar
transactions with respect to such Properties.
With respect to Governor's Square and Governor's Plaza, the Operating
Partnership does not have day-to-day operational control or control over certain
major decisions, including the timing and amount of distributions and decisions
relating to sales, expansions and financings, which could result in decisions by
the managing general partner that do not fully reflect the interests of the
Company, including decisions relating to the standards that the Company is
required to satisfy in order to maintain its status as a real estate investment
trust for tax purposes.
Dependence on Significant Properties
Hamilton Place and CoolSprings Galleria accounted for approximately 6.2%
and 5.9%, respectively, of total revenues of the Company for the period ended
December 31, 1998. The Company's financial position and results of operations
will therefore be disproportionately affected by the results experienced at
these Properties.
Dependence on Key Tenants
As of December 31, The Limited Inc. (including Intimate Brands, Inc.)
maintained 123 stores and in the year ended December 31, 1998 accounted for
approximately 8.8% of total revenues of the Company. As of December 31, 1998,
the Venator Group, Inc. (Champs Sports, Footlocker, Afterthoughts Boutique,
etc.) had 87 stores and in the year ended December 31, 1998, accounted for 3.3%
of the total revenues of the Company. As of December 31, 1998, Food Lion served
-8-
as an anchor tenant in 37 of the Community Centers and for the year ended
accounted for approximately 3.1% of total revenues of the Company. Food Lion is
a publicly traded North Carolina-based operator of supermarkets. The loss or
bankruptcy of any of these or other key tenants could negatively affect the
Company's financial position and results from operations.
THE COMPANY'S STRATEGY FOR GROWTH
Management believes that per share growth in the Company's Funds from
Operations, as defined below, is one of the key factors in enhancing shareholder
value. Management also believes that Funds from Operations is a widely used
measure of the operating performance of REITs, and its consistent determination
provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. It is the objective of the
Company's management to achieve growth in Funds from Operations through the
aggressive management of the Company's existing Properties, the expansion and
renovation of existing Properties, the development of new properties, and select
acquisitions. Funds from Operations can also be affected by external factors,
such as inflation, fluctuations in interest rates or changes in general economic
conditions, which are beyond the control of the Company's management.
"Funds from Operations" is defined by the Company as net income (loss)
before property depreciation, other non-cash items (consisting of the write-off
of costs associated with development projects not being pursued), gains or
losses on sales of real estate assets and gains or losses on investments in
marketable securities. The cost of interest rate caps and finance costs on the
Company's lines of credit are amortized and included in interest expense and,
therefore, reduces Funds from Operations. Funds from Operations also includes
the Company's share of Funds from Operations in unconsolidated properties and
excludes minority interests' share of Funds from Operations in consolidated
properties. The Company complies with the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trust's ("NAREIT") revised definition of Funds from Operations by not
adding back to income from operations depreciation and amortization of finance
costs and non-real estate assets. The Company excludes outparcel sales from its
Funds from Operations calculation, even though the NAREIT definition allows
their inclusion. Funds from Operations does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP") and
is not necessarily indicative of cash available from operations to fund all cash
flow needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) for
purposes of evaluating the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity.
The Company classifies its regional malls into two categories - stabilized
malls ("Stabilized Malls") which have completed their initial lease-up and new
malls ("New Malls") which are in their initial lease-up phase or are being
redeveloped. At year end the New Mall category was comprised of WestGate Mall
in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which was renovated and expanded and
reopened in October 1996; Oak Hollow Mall in High Point, North Carolina
which opened in August 1995; Springdale Mall in Mobile, Alabama which
was acquired in September 1997 and which is being redeveloped and
retenanted; Bonita Lakes Mall in Meridian, Mississippi which opened in
October 1997 and Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama which was
acquired in December, 1998 and which is being redeveloped.
Specifically, the Company has implemented its objective of growing its
Funds from Operations and will continue to do so by:
bullet Maximizing the cash flow from its existing portfolio of Malls,
Associated Centers and Community Centers, and other retail complexes through
aggressive leasing, management, and marketing, including:
-- an active leasing strategy which seeks to increase occupancy.
At December 31, 1998, the occupancy at the Stabilized Malls, New
Malls, Associated Centers, and Community Centers was 93.6%, 93.6%,
90.5%, and 97.0%, respectively, as compared to occupancies of 91.7%,
89.2%, 83.3%, and 97.6%, respectively, at December 31, 1997;
-9-
-- expanded merchandising, marketing and promotional activities,
with the goal of enhancing tenant sales and thereby increasing
percentage rents. Mall store sales per square foot for the year ended
December 31, 1998 were 3.8% higher at the Stabilized Malls than for
the year ended December 31, 1997;
-- increased base rents as tenant leases expire, renegotiation of
leases and negotiation of terminations of leases of under performing
retailers. At December 31, 1998 average base rents per square foot at
the Malls, Associated Centers, and Community Centers was $19.82,
$9.68, and $8.22, respectively, as compared to average base rents per
square foot of $19.33, $9.43, and $7.42, respectively, at December 31,
1997;
-- control of operating costs. Occupancy costs as a percentage of
sales at the Stabilized Malls decreased to 11.1% (excluding malls
acquired in 1998) for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to
11.2% for the year ended December 31, 1997.
bullet Expanding and renovating existing properties to maintain their
competitive position.
-- Most of the Malls were designed to allow for expansion and
growth through the addition of new department stores or other
large retail stores as anchors ("Anchors"). Twenty-two of the
twenty- eight Malls have undergone expansion or renovation since
their opening, and all of the non-acquired Malls have been either
built or renovated in the last 10 years or are in the process of

( 6) The Company opened the center on March 17, 1999.
-- In addition to the Construction Properties, as of
December 31, 19998 the Company was pursuing the development
of a number of sites which the Company believes are viable
for future development as malls and community and neighborhood
shopping centers. Regional mall development sites were being
pursued in Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina and
community shopping center sites were being pursued in
Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.
-- In general, the Company seeks out development
opportunities in middle-market trade areas that it believes
are under-serviced by existing retail facilities, have
demonstrated improving demographic trends or otherwise
afford an opportunity for effective market penetration and
competitive presence.
-12-
bullet Acquiring existing retail properties where cash flow can be
enhanced by improved management, leasing, redevelopment and
expansion.
-- Management believes that an opportunity for growth exists
through the acquisition of shopping centers that meet the
Company's investment criteria and targeted returns. In
general, the Company seeks to acquire well-located shopping
centers in middle-market geographic areas consistent with
management's experience where management believes significant
value can be created through its development, leasing and
management expertise.
-- On January 2, 1998, the Company purchased Asheville Mall
in Asheville, North Carolina for $65 million, which was funded
by a $51.0 million acquisition loan with the balance funded
from the Company's credit lines.
-- On January 30, 1998, the Company purchased Burnsville
Center in Minneapolis (Burnsville), Minnesota for $81 million
which was funded by a $60.8 million acquisition loan with the
balance funded from the Company's credit lines.
-- In April 1998, the Company acquired Stroud Mall in
Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania for $38 million, which was funded
from the proceeds of a $32.6 million acquisition loan and the
balance from the Company's credit lines.
-- In July 1998, the Company acquired Hickory Hollow Mall,
Rivergate Mall, The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, The Village
at Rivergate and Lions Head Village, all located in the
metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee area. The purchase price
of $247.4 million was funded with a ten-year fixed-rate loan
in the amount of $182.7 million, 631,589 limited partnership
units in the Operating Partnership with a value of $15.3
million and the balance funded from the Company's credit lines.
-- In August 1998, the Company acquired Meridian Mall in
Lansing (Oskemos), Michigan and Janesville Mall in Janesville,
Wisconsin. The purchase price of $138 million was funded with
an acquisition loan of $80 million, 2,118,299 limited
partnership units in the Operating Partnership with a value of
$53 million, and the assumption of a $17.1 million mortgage
loan. Excess loan proceeds of $12.1 million were used to pay
down the Company's credit lines.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY'S GROWTH STRATEGY
In connection with the implementation of this growth strategy, the Company
and the Operating Partnership will incur various risks including the risk that
development or expansion opportunities explored by the Company and the Operating
Partnership may be abandoned; the risk that construction costs of a project may
exceed original estimates, possibly making the project not profitable; the risk
that the Company and the Operating Partnership may not be able to refinance
construction loans which are generally with full recourse to the Company and the
Operating Partnership; the risk that occupancy rates and rents at a completed
project will not meet projections, and will therefore be insufficient to make
the project profitable; and the need for anchor, mortgage lender and property
partner approvals for certain expansion activities. In the event of an
unsuccessful development project, the Company's and the Operating Partnership's
loss could exceed its investment in the project.
-13-
The Company has in the past elected not to proceed with certain development
projects and anticipates that it will do so again from time to time in the
future. If the Company elects not to proceed with a development opportunity, the
development costs associated therewith ordinarily will be charged against income
for the then-current period. Any such charge could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations for the period in which the charge
is taken.
COMPETITION
There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the Properties in
attracting retailers to lease space. The Malls are generally located in middle
- -markets. Management believes that the Malls have strong competitive positions
because they generally are the only or largest enclosed malls within their
respective trade areas. In addition, retailers at the Properties face
continued competition from discount shopping centers, outlet malls, wholesale
clubs, direct mail, telemarketing, television shopping networks and shopping
via the Internet. Competition could adversely affect the Operating
Partnership's revenues and funds available for distributions to partners,
which in turn will affect the Company's revenues and funds available for
distribution to stockholders.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is somewhat seasonal in nature with tenant sales
achieving the highest levels during the fourth quarter because of the holiday
season. The Malls earn most of their "temporary" rents (rents from short-term
tenants) during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue
production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results
of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results
likely to be experienced over the course of the entire year.
QUALIFICATION AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
The Company has elected to be taxed as real estate investment trust under
the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and will
seek to maintain such status. As a qualified real estate investment trust, the
Company generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent it
distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to
its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a real estate investment
trust in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to Federal income tax
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates.
INSURANCE
The Operating Partnership carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended
coverage and rental loss insurance covering all the Properties, with policy
specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties.
Management believes that the Properties are adequately insured in accordance
with industry standards.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
MALLS
Each of the Malls is an enclosed regional shopping complex. Each Mall
generally has at least three Anchors which own or lease their stores and
numerous non-anchor stores with GLA less than 30,000 square feet ("Mall
Stores"), most of which are national or regional retailers, located along
enclosed malls connecting the Anchors. At most of the Malls, additional
freestanding restaurants and retail stores are located on the periphery of the
Mall complex. These freestanding stores are, in most cases, owned by their
occupants. Twelve of the Mall complexes include one or more Associated Centers.
The total GLA of the 28 Malls is approximately 20.5 million square feet or
an average GLA of approximately 732,000 square feet per Mall. Mall Store GLA is
7,259,208 square feet including leased free-standing buildings at December 31,
1998. The Stabilized Mall occupancy was 93.6% at December 31, 1998.
The Company wholly owns all but seven of its Malls and manages all but one
of them.
In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, Mall revenues
represented approximately 72.8%, 72.9% and 74.9%, respectively, of total
revenues from the Company's Properties.
Occupancy of mall stores in the Stabilized Malls ("Stabilized Mall
Stores") increased from 91.7% at December 31, 1997, to 93.6% at December 31,
1998. Occupancy of malls acquired during 1998, was 92.0% at December 31, 1998.
In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, average Stabilized
Mall Store sales per square foot were approximately $240, $263 and $273,
respectively (computed using a monthly weighted average). Average Stabilized
Mall Store sales per square foot increased by 3.8% for the year ended December
31, 1998 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.
Average base rent per square foot at the Mall Stores increased from $19.33
at December 31, 1997 to $19.84 at December 31, 1998.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for tenants in the Stabilized
Malls (excluding St. Clair Square and Foothills Mall acquired in 1996 and malls
acquired in 1997 and 1998) were 11.7%, 11.2% and 11.1% for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively.
The Malls are generally located in middle-markets. Management believes that
the Malls have strong competitive positions because they generally are the only
or largest enclosed malls within their respective trade areas. Trade areas have
been identified by management based upon a number of sources of information,
including the location of other malls, publicly available population
information, customer surveys, surveys of customer automobile license plates,
as well as ZIP codes and third-party market studies.
The two largest revenue-producing Malls are Hamilton Place and CoolSprings
Galleria. Hamilton Place is located on a 187-acre site in Chattanooga, Tennessee
and represented, as of December 31, 1998, 3.7% of the Properties' total GLA,
4.0% of total Mall Store GLA and 6.2% of total revenues from the Company's
Properties. CoolSprings Galleria is located on a 148-acre site in metropolitan
Nashville, Tennessee and represented, as of December 31, 1998, 3.6% of the
Properties' total GLA, 4.0% of total Mall Store GLA and 5.9% of total revenues
from the Company's Properties.
-15-
Twenty-two of the twenty-eight Malls have undergone an expansion or
remodeling since their opening, and all but one of the Malls have either been
built or renovated in the last 10 years, are in the process of being renovated,
or are scheduled to be renovated in 2000. The Company renovated Hamilton Place
in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is presently renovating Governor's Square in
Clarksville, Tennessee, College Square in Morristown, Tennessee and Rivergate
Mall in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company is expanding Lakeshore Mall in
Sebring, Florida, adding Sears as the fifth department store. The Company
plans on renovating Burnsville Center in Minneapolis (Burnsville), Minnesota
and Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania in 2000. Two of the Malls
have available Anchor pads providing expansion potential totaling
approximately 205,700 buildable square feet at December 31, 1998. Eighteen
existing Anchors at ten Malls have aggregate expansion potential at
their existing stores of approximately 473,000 buildable square feet.
The land underlying the Malls is owned in fee in all cases, except for
Walnut Square, WestGate Mall, St. Clair Square, Bonita Lakes Mall, Meridian
Mall and Stroud Mall which are each subject to long-term ground leases for
all or a portion of the land underlying these Malls.

Anchors.
Anchors are a critical factor in a Mall's success because the public's
identification with a property typically focuses on its Anchors. Mall Anchors
generally are department stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of
shoppers. Although the Malls derive a smaller percentage of their operating
income from Anchor stores than from Mall Stores, strong Anchors play an
important part in generating customer traffic and making the Malls desirable
locations for Mall Store tenants.
Anchors either own their stores together with the land under them,
sometimes with adjacent parking areas, or enter into long-term leases with
respect to their stores at rental rates that are significantly lower than the
rents charged to tenants of Mall Stores. Anchors account for approximately
8.2% of the total revenues from the Company's Properties. Each Anchor
which owns its own store has entered into a reciprocal easement agreement
with the Company covering, among other things, operating covenants, reciprocal
easements, property operations, initial construction and future expansions.
The Malls have a total of 125 Anchors. Wal*Mart at Pemberton Square in
Vicksburg, Mississippi was the only anchor vacant in the Company's Malls as of
December 31, 1998. Dillard's has agreed to purchase that building from the
Company and will open for business during 1999. Service Merchandise leases two
stores in the Company's malls. In the year ended December 31, 1998, revenues
from Service Merchandise accounted for less than 0.4% of total revenues of the
Company. The following table indicates all Mall Anchors and sets forth the
aggregate number of square feet owned or leased by Anchors in the Malls as of
December 31, 1998.

Mall Stores. The Malls have approximately 4,250 Mall Stores. National or
regional chains (excluding individually franchised stores) lease approximately
84% of the occupied Mall Store GLA. Although Mall Stores occupy only 32.2% of
total Mall GLA, the Malls derived approximately 87.9% of their revenue from
Mall Stores for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The Limited, Inc./Intimate Brands, Inc. stores (The Limited, Limited Too,
Express, Lerner New York, Lane Bryant, Structure, Victoria Secret, and Bath and
Body Works) and Venator Group, Inc. (Footlocker, Lady Footlocker, Kinney Shoes,
Champs Sports Stores, Northern Reflections, Afterthoughts Boutique and San
Francisco Music Box). As of December 31, 1998, The Limited, Inc.'s and Intimate

(1) Total annualized base rent for all leases executed as of December 31,
1998 includes rent for space that is leased but not yet occupied but
excludes (i) percentage rents, (ii) additional payments by tenants
for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other expense
reimbursements and (iii) contractual rent escalations and cost of

Cost of Occupancy. Management believes that in order to maximize the
Company's Funds from Operations, tenants in Mall Stores must be able to operate
profitably. A major factor contributing to tenant profitability is the tenant's
cost of occupancy.
The following table summarizes for Stabilized Mall Store tenants the
occupancy costs under their leases as a percentage of total Mall Store sales for
the last three years.

ASSOCIATED CENTERS
The fourteen Associated Centers are each part of a Mall complex and
generally have one or two Anchor tenants and various smaller tenants. Anchor
tenants in these centers include such retailers as Books-A-Million, Target, Toys
"R" Us, TJ Maxx, and Goody's, which are category dominant retailers that benefit
from the regional draw of the Malls. The Associated Centers also increase the
draw to the total Mall complex.
-22-
Total leasable GLA of the fourteen Associated Centers is approximately 1.2
million square feet, including Anchors, or an average of approximately
83,000 square feet per center. As of December 31, 1998, 90.5% of total
leasable GLA at the Associated Centers was occupied.
In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, revenues from the
Associated Centers represented approximately 3.3%, 3.8% and 3.9%, respectively,
of total revenues from the Company's Properties.
In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, average tenant sales
per square foot at the Associated Centers were approximately $207, $189 and
$172, respectively.
Average base rent per square foot at the Associated Centers increased from
$9.43 at December 31, 1997 to $9.68 at December 31, 1998.
Each of the Associated Centers was developed by the Company, except for
WestGate Crossing, Village at Rivergate and Courtyard at Hickory Hollow which
were acquired in August 1997, July 1998 and July 1998, respectively. All
of the land underlying the Associated Centers is owned in fee except for Bonita

COMMUNITY AND POWER CENTERS
In addition to Mall development, the Company's development activities focus
on Community Centers, and power centers. Community Centers pose fewer
development risks than Malls because they have shorter development timetables
and lower up-front costs. Community Centers also afford the Company the
opportunity to meet the needs of retailers for whom a "convenience" type of
location is more appropriate and the needs of customers whose trade areas cannot
support a regional mall. Power centers are larger than other Community Centers,
with several large anchor stores which draw shoppers from a wider geographic
area.
The Company's Community Center developments in the 1980's were generally
anchored by supermarkets, and, in certain cases, by drug stores. Management's
current focus has expanded to include the development of larger centers,
anchored by mass merchandisers and department stores, while continuing the
development of smaller centers anchored by supermarkets and drug stores.
Recently completed Community Centers include centers in Portsmouth, Virginia and
Orlando, Florida. Anchors at these new centers include, Hannaford Bros and
Lowe's. The Company sold a completed center, Surrey Square in Elkin, North
Carolina, in the last quarter of 1998.
Community Centers, other than power centers, range in size from 25,000
square feet to in excess of 286,000 square feet. Anchors in Community Centers
generally lease their store space and occupy 60-85% of a center's GLA. The
number of stores in a Community Center ranges from one to sixteen with an
average of seven stores per center.
The Company's two power centers, which were completed and opened in 1997,
average 7865,000 square feet and have an average of nine major anchor stores and
additional small shop space ranging from 38,000 square feet to 136,000 square
feet. The Company opened additional square feet in the second phase of these
centers in 1998. The projects include expansion areas for additional major
retailers. These power centers are included in the Community Center
classification in this report.
Total GLA of the 82 Community Centers is approximately 8.5 million square
feet, or an average of approximately 84,000 square feet per center. As of
December 31, 1998, 97.0% of total leasable GLA at the Community Centers was
leased.
In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, revenues from the
Community Centers represented approximately 21.4%, 21.2% and 19.6%,
respectively, of total revenues from the Company's Properties.
Occupancy at the Community Centers decreased from 97.6% at December 31,
1997 to 97.0% at December 31, 1998.
Average base rent per square foot at the Community Centers increased from
$7.42 at December 31, 1997, to $8.22 at December 31, 1998.
-25-
As of December 31, 1998, Food Lion, a major regional supermarket operator
with headquarters in North Carolina served as an anchor tenant in 37 of the
Company's Community Centers. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Food Lion
accounted for approximately 3.1% of the revenues generated by the Company's
Properties.
With the exception of Suburban Plaza, Sutton Plaza and Lions Head Village,
which were acquired by the Company in March 1995, January 1997 and July 1998,
respectively, each of the Community Centers was developed by the Company.
The following table summarizes the percentage of total leasable GLA leased,
average base rent per square foot (excluding percentage rent) and tenant sales

in connection with sales by CBL of properties which it had previously developed.
The Company also holds fee mortgages on six community centers, which
mortgages had, as of December 31, 1998, an aggregate outstanding principal
balance of $7.7 million. Such mortgages entitle the Company to receive
substantially all of such properties' current cash flow in the form of periodic
debt service payments. The encumbered properties all opened between 1981 and
1984 and one Anchor vacancy.
In the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, revenues from the
Mortgages represented approximately 2.2%, 2.02%, and 0.7%, respectively, of
total revenues from the Company's Properties.

MORTGAGE DEBT AND RATIO TO TOTAL MARKET CAPITALIZATION
As of December 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership's proportionate share of
indebtedness of all Properties (whether or not consolidated for financial
statement reporting purposes, including the Construction Properties) was
approximately $1.228 billion. The Company's total market capitalization (the
aggregate market value of the Company's outstanding shares of Common and
Preferred Stock, assuming the full exchange of the limited partnership interests
in the Operating Partnership for Common Stock, plus the $1.228 billion total
debt of the Operating Partnership) as of December 31, 1998 was $2.2 billion.
Accordingly, the Company's debt to total market capitalization ratio as of
December 31, 1998 was 54.7%. The debt to total market capitalization ratio,
which is based upon the Company's proportionate share of consolidated and
unconsolidated indebtedness and market values of equity, differs from
debt-to-book capitalization ratios, which are based upon consolidated
indebtedness and book values. The following table sets forth certain information
regarding the mortgages and secured lines of credit encumbering the Properties.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

results of operations should be read in conjunction with CBL & Associates
Properties, Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
Information included herein may contain "forward-looking statements"

inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be

Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ

GENERAL BACKGROUND
The Company is, through two wholly owned subsidiaries, the sole
general partner and majority owner of the Operating Partnership. As a
result, the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto reflect the consolidated financial results of
the Operating Partnership, which includes at December 31, 1998, the
operations of a portfolio of properties consisting of twenty-four regional
malls, thirteen associated centers, two power centers, eighty community
centers, an office building, joint venture investments in four regional
malls and one associated center, and income from six mortgages (the
"Properties"). The Operating Partnership currently has under construction
one mall, one associated center, one power center and two community centers
and owns options to acquire certain shopping center development sites. The
consolidated financial statements also include the results of CBL &
Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").
The Company classifies its regional malls into two categories -
stabilized malls which have completed their initial lease-up and new malls
which are in their initial lease-up phase. The new mall category is
presently comprised of Westgate Mall in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which
was renovated and expanded and reopened in October 1996; Oak Hollow Mall
in High Point, North Carolina which opened in August 1995; Springdale Mall
in Mobile, Alabama, which was acquired in September 1997 and which is being
redeveloped and retenanted; Bonita Lakes Mall in Meridian, Mississippi,
which opened in October 1997 and Parkway Place in Huntsville, Alabama
which was acquired in December 1998 and which is being redeveloped.
In January 1998, the Company purchased Asheville Mall in Asheville,
North Carolina for $65 million, which was funded by a $51 million
acquisition loan with the balance funded from the Company's credit lines.
Also in January the Company purchased Burnsville Center in Minneapolis
(Burnsville), Minnesota for $81 million, which was funded by a $60.8 million
acquisition loan with the balance funded from the Company's credit lines.
In April 1998, the Company acquired Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania for $38 million, which was funded from the proceeds of a
$32.6 million acquisition loan and the balance from the Company's credit
lines.
-39-
In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000 shares
of 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price to the public of
$25 per share. The net proceeds of $70 million were used to repay variable rate
indebtedness incurred in the Company's development and acquisition program.
In July 1998, the Company acquired Hickory Hollow Mall, Rivergate Mall,
The Courtyard at Hickory Hollow, The Village at Rivergate and Lions Head
Village, all located in the metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee area. The
purchase price of $247.4 million was funded with a ten-year fixed-rate loan
in the amount of $182.7 million, 631,589 operating partnership units in the
Operating Partnership with a value of $15.3 million and the balance funded
from the Company's credit lines.
In July 1998, the Company purchased 122,008 limited partnership units
valued at $3.0 million from a former executive and minority limited partner
in the Operating Partnership.
In August 1998, the Company acquired Meridian Mall in Lansing (Oskemos),
Michigan and Janesville Mall in Janesville, Wisconsin. The purchase price
of $138 million was funded with an acquisition loan of $80 million,
2,118,299 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership with a
value of $53 million and, the assumption of a $17.1 million mortgage loan.
Excess loan proceeds of $12.1 million were used to pay down the Company's
credit lines.
In December 1998, the Company, in a joint venture with a third party,
acquired Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama. The joint venture is
structured so that each partner retains a 50% ownership in the project. The
Company's initial investment was $5.7 million and was funded from the
Company's credit lines.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES
Mall shop sales, for those tenants who have reported, in the twenty-three
stabilized malls in the Company's portfolio, increased by 3.8% on a
comparable per square foot basis as shown below:

---------- ---------
Sales per square foot $273 $263
Total sales volume in the mall portfolio, including new malls, increased
9.7% to $1.504 billion in 1998 from $1.371 billion in 1997.
Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 for the stabilized malls (excluding malls acquired in
1998 and St. Clair Square and Foothills Mall from 1996) were 11.1%, 11.2%
and 11.7%, respectively. The decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage
of sales from 1997 to 1998 was due to both increasing sales and the
Company's policy of cost containment.

In 1998 and 1997, respectively, revenues from the malls represented 74.9%
and 72.9% of total revenues from the properties; revenues from associated
centers represented 3.9% and 3.8%; revenues from community centers
represented 19.6% and 21.2%; and revenues from mortgages and the office
building represented 1.6% and 2.1%. Accordingly, revenues and results of
operations are disproportionately impacted by the malls' achievements.
-41-
The shopping center business is somewhat seasonal in nature with tenant
sales achieving the highest levels during the fourth quarter because of
the holiday season. The malls earn most of their "temporary" rents (rents
from short-term tenants) during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels
and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of
each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be
indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the
entire year.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1998 TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR 1997
Total revenues in 1998 increased by $77.0 million, or 43.4%, to $254.6
million as compared to $177.6 million in 1997. Of this increase, minimum
rents increased by $51.0 million, or 44.1%, to $166.6 million as compared
to $115.6 million in 1997, percentage rents increased by $1.1 million, or
29.8%, to $4.8 million as compared to $3.7 million in 1997, other rents
increased by $2.1 million, or 105.6%, to $4.0 million as compared to $1.9
million in 1997, tenant reimbursements increased by $22.5 million, or 43.9%,
to $73.8 million as compared to $51.3 million in 1997.
Approximately $17.5 million of the increase in revenues resulted from
twelve new centers opened during the last twenty-four months and $54.1
million of the increase in revenues resulted from the fourteen new centers
acquired during the last twenty-four months. Improved occupancies and
operations, expansions to existing properties, and increased rents in the
Company's operating portfolio generated approximately $5.4 million of the
increased revenues with the largest increases from Hamilton Place in
Chattanooga, Tennessee and Westgate Mall in Spartanburg, South Carolina
Management, development and leasing fees increased in 1998 by $0.3 million,
or 12.5%, to $2.7 million as compared to $2.4 million in 1997. Our managed
properties continue to provide the majority of this revenue augmented by an
increase in development fees. Interest and other income was $2.7 million in
both 1998 and 1997.
Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and
repairs, increased in 1998 by $24.5 million, or 44.0%, to $80.2 million as
compared to $55.7 million in 1997. This increase is primarily the result of
the twelve new centers opened and the acquisition of fourteen properties
over the past twenty-four months. The Company's cost recovery ratio
remained stable at 92.1% in 1998 as compared 92.2% to in 1997.
Depreciation and amortization increased in 1998 by $11.2 million, or 34.8%,
to $43.5 million as compared to $32.3 million in 1997. This increase
resulted primarily from depreciation and amortization on the twelve new
centers opened and the acquisition of fourteen properties over the past
twenty four months.
Interest expense increased in 1998 by $29.5 million, or 78.0%, to $67.3
million as compared to $37.8 million in 1997. This increase is primarily
due to increased interest expense on the twelve new centers opened and the
acquisition of fourteen properties over the past twenty-four months
partially offset by the repayment of variable rate debt with proceeds from
the preferred offering in June 1998.
General and administrative expense increased in 1998 by $2.8 million, or
30.8%, to $11.8 million as compared to $9.0 million in 1997. This increase
was due to increases in reserves for state tax expense and increases in
general overhead.
-42-
Gain on sales of real estate assets was $4.2 million in 1998 as compared
to $6.0 million in 1997. The majority of the gain in 1998 is from outparcel
and pad sales at the development centers Springhurst Towne Center in
Louisville, Kentucky and Sand Lake Corner in Orlando, Florida. The gain
on sales in 1998 also includes a $0.2 million gain on the sale of one
existing center, Surrey Square in Elkin, North Carolina.
The extraordinary loss in 1998 of $.8 million was from the refinancing of
the loan on College Square Mall in Morristown, Tennessee. The Company
reduced the interest rate from 10% to 6.75% and extended the term to
fifteen years.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1997 TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR 1996
Total revenues in 1997 increased by $30.8 million, or 21.0%, to $177.6
million as compared to $146.8 million in 1996. Of this increase, minimum
rents increased by $22.4 million, or 24.0%, to $115.6 million as compared
to $93.2 million in 1996, percentage rents increased by $1.0 million, or
37.0%, to $3.7 million as compared to $2.7 million in 1996, other rents
increased by $0.1 million, or 5.6%, to $1.9 million as compared to $1.8
million in 1996, tenant reimbursements increased by $8.9 million, or 21.0%,
to $51.3 million as compared to $42.4 million in 1996.
Approximately $7.6 million of the increase in revenues resulted from a full
year of operations at the four new centers opened during 1996 and $11.0
million from a full year of operations from St. Clair Square in Fairview
Heights, Illinois. Approximately $10.2 million of the increase in revenues
resulted from the ten new centers opened and three centers acquired during
1997 offset by $1.9 million of revenues no longer received from five centers
sold in 1996. Improved occupancies and operations, expansions to existing
properties, and increased rents in the Company's operating portfolio
generated approximately $3.9 million of the increased revenues with
stabilized malls contributing approximately $3.1 million and the associated
and community center portfolio contributing $0.8 million in increased
revenues.
Management, development and leasing fees were $2.4 million in both 1997 and
1996. Our managed properties continue to provide the majority of this
revenue augmented by an increase in development fees. Interest and other
income decreased by $1.6 million to $2.7 million in 1997 from $4.3 million
in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of a mortgage
property at the end of 1996 and the resulting elimination of interest
income from the property.
Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance
and repairs, increased in 1997 by $10.9 million or 24.3%, to $55.7 million
as compared to $44.8 million in 1996. This increase is primarily the
result of the opening of the thirteen new centers over the past twenty-
four months and the acquisition of four properties. The Company's cost
recovery ratio decreased to 92.2% in 1997 as compared to 94.7% in 1996
primarily due the addition of properties with non-recoverable ground rent.
Depreciation and amortization increased in 1997 by $6.9 million or 27.2% to
$32.3 million as compared to $25.4 million in 1996. This increase resulted
primarily from depreciation and amortization on the thirteen new centers
opened and the acquisition of four properties over the past twenty four
months.
Interest expense increased in 1997 by $6.1 million or 19.2% to $37.8 million
as compared to $31.7 million in 1996. This increase is primarily due to
increased interest expense on the thirteen new centers opened and the
acquisition of four properties over the past twenty-four months offset by
the reduction of variable rate debt with proceeds from the spot offering
in January 1997.
-43-
General and administrative expense was $9.0 million in 1997 as compared to
$8.5 million in 1996. This increase was primarily due to increases in
reserves for state tax expense and general increases in overhead.
Other expense was $0.3 million in 1997 and $0.6 million in 1996. These
amounts represent the write-off of development projects which the Company
has elected not to pursue.
Gain on sales of real estate assets was $6.0 million in 1997 as compared to
$13.6 million in 1996. The majority of the gain in 1997 is from outparcel
and pad sales at the development centers: Cortlandt Town Center in
Cortlandt, New York, Salem Crossing in Virginia Beach, Virginia and
Springhurst Towne Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The gain on sales in
1997 also includes a $0.7 million gain on the sale of one completed center.
The majority of gain on sales in 1996 were from sales of five completed
centers for $7.6 million. Most of the remaining $6.0 million of outparcel
sales in 1996 were in connection with the development of Springhurst Towne
Center in Louisville, Kentucky and Massard Crossing in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.
The extraordinary loss in 1997 of $1.1 million resulted from the refinancing
or extinguishment of debt on a number of properties, the largest of which
was Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The reduction in the interest
rate on the refinanced debt on Hamilton Place was 2.25%. The extraordinary
loss in 1996 was from the refinancing of debt on Governor's Square in
Clarksville, Tennessee.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The principal uses of the Company's liquidity and capital resources have
historically been for property development, acquisitions, expansion and
renovation programs, and debt repayment. To maintain its qualification as
a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company
is required to distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its "Real
Estate Investment Trust Taxable Income" as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
As of January 31, 1999, the Company had $63.9 million available in unfunded
construction loans to be used for completion of the construction projects
and replenishment of working capital previously used for construction.
Additionally, as of January 31, 1999, the Company had obtained revolving
credit lines and term loans totaling $230 million of which $58.4 million
was available. Also, as a publicly traded company, the Company has access
to capital through both the public equity and debt markets. The Company
has filed a shelf registration statement authorizing shares of the
Company's common stock, preferred stock, and warrants to purchase shares
of the Company's common stock with an aggregate public offering price of
up to $350 million, with $278 million available as of January 31, 1998. The
Company anticipates that the combination of these sources will, for the
foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to enable it to continue its
capital programs substantially as in the past and make distributions to its
shareholders in accordance with the Code's requirements applicable to real
estate investment trusts.
Management expects to refinance the majority of the mortgage notes payable
maturing over the next five years with replacement loans.
The Company's current capital structure includes property specific mortgages,
which are generally non-recourse, revolving lines of credit, common stock,
preferred stock and a minority interest in the Operating Partnership. The
minority interest in the Operating Partnership includes the 25.8%
ownership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the Company's
executive and senior officers which may be exchanged for approximately 9.4
million shares of common stock. Additionally, Company executive officers
and directors own approximately 1.7 million shares of
-44-
the outstanding common stock of the Company, for a combined total interest
in the Operating Partnership of approximately 30.5%. Operating Partnership
interests issued to fund acquisitions in 1998, which represent, in the
aggregate a 6.5% limited partnership interest in the operating partnership,
may be exchanged for approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock.
Assuming the exchange of all limited partnership interests in the Operating
Partnership for common stock, there would be approximately 36.5 million
shares of common stock outstanding with a market value of approximately
$942.0 million at December 31, 1998 (based on the closing price of its
common stock of $25.8125 per share on December 31, 1998). The Company's
total market equity is $1.015 billion which includes 2.9 million shares of
preferred stock at their closing price of $25.25 per share on December 31,
1998. Company executive and senior officers' ownership interests had a
market value of approximately $287.4 million at December 31, 1998.
Mortgage debt consists of debt on certain consolidated properties as well as
debt on three properties in which the Company owns a non-controlling
interests, accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At
December 31, 1998, the Company's share of funded mortgage debt on its
consolidated properties adjusted for minority investors' interests in seven
properties was $677.9 million and its pro rata share of mortgage debt on
unconsolidated properties (accounted for under the equity method) was $41.3
million for total fixed rate debt obligations of $719.2 million with a
weighted average interest rate of 7.45%.
Variable rate debt accounted for $508.5 million with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.6%. Total debt obligations (including construction
loans) amounted to $1.228 billion. Variable rate debt accounted for
approximately 41.4% of the Company's total debt and 22.7% of its total
capitalization. Through the execution of interest rate swap agreements,
the Company has fixed the interest rates on $314 million of variable rate
debt on operating properties at a weighted average interest rate of 6.6%.
Of the remaining variable rate debt of $194.5 million the Company has,
interest rate caps in place of $100.0 million and a conventional
permanent loan commitment of $75.0 million, leaving $19.5 million of debt
subject to variable rates on construction properties and no debt subject
to variable rates on operating properties. The Company's current exposure
to interest rate fluctuations which could impact funds from operations has
been effectively mitigated by these interest rate cap and swap agreements
and permanent loan commitments. There were no fees charged to the Company
related to these swap agreements. The Company's swap and cap agreements in
place at December 31, 1998 are as follows:
Fixed
Amount LIBOR Effective Expiration
(in millions) Swap/Cap Component Date Date
- ------------- -------- --------- --------- ----------
$65 swap 5.72% 01/07/98 01/07/2000

80 swap 5.49% 09/01/98 09/01/2001
100 cap 7.50% 01/01/99 12/31/1999
In August 1998, the Company expanded one of its credit facilities by $35
million. The Company's credit facilities have a weighted average interest
rate of 99 basis points over LIBOR at January 31, 1999. Each of the credit
facilities includes covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum
net worth levels, interest and debt coverage ratios, total obligations to
capitalized value ratios, and limitations on variable rate debt. The credit
facilities also require that the Company's senior management continue to
consist of certain individuals and to maintain certain levels of minority
ownership in the Operating Partnership. The First Tennessee Bank credit
facility provides that if the Company completes an offering of its
securities, not less than 75% of the net proceeds of any such offering will
be applied for the benefit of the Operating Partnership.
-45-
The following table sets forth the Company's credit facilities at
January 31, 1999 as follows (in millions):
Credit Facility Amount Current Balance Maturity
- ----------------- ----------- ---------------- -----------
SunTrust $10 $10.0 April 2000
SouthTrust 20 20.0 March 2001
First Tennessee 80 48.8 June 2000
Wells Fargo 120 93.0 September 1999
In the second half of 1998, the Company closed a $24 million conventional
mortgage loan on Springhurst Towne Center in Louisville Kentucky at an
interest rate of 6.65%; a $54 million conventional mortgage loan on
Cortlandt Town Center in Cortlandt, New York at an interest rate of 6.9%;
and a $39.4 million conventional mortgage loan on Bonita Lakes Mall and
Crossing in Meridian, Mississippi at an interest rate of 6.82%. The
proceeds from these loans were used to repay existing fixed rate and
variable rate debt. In August 1998, the Company refinanced the mortgage loan
on College Square Mall in Morristown, Tennessee, extending the term, drawing
$2 million for a planned renovation in 1999 and reducing the interest rate
from 10% to 6.75%.
In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000 shares
of 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price to the public of
$25 per share. The net proceeds of $70 million were used to repay variable rate
indebtedness incurred in the Company's development and acquisition programs.
Based on the debt (including construction projects) and the market
value of equity described above, the Company's debt to total market
capitalization (debt plus market value equity) ratio was 54.7% at
December 31, 1998, as compared to 47.9% at December 31, 1997.

-47-
The Company has also entered into a number of option agreements for the
development of future regional malls and community centers. Except for
these projects and as further described below, the Company currently has
no other capital commitments.
It is management's expectation that the Company will continue to have
access to the capital resources necessary to expand and grow its business.
Future development and acquisition activities will be undertaken by the
Company as suitable opportunities arise. Such activities are not expected
to be undertaken unless adequate sources of financing are available and a
satisfactory budget with targeted returns on investment has been internally
approved.
The Company will fund its major development, expansion and acquisition
activity with its traditional sources of construction and permanent debt
financing as well as from other debt and equity financings, including
public financings, and its credit facilities.
OTHER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Management prepares an annual capital expenditure budget for each property
which is intended to provide for all necessary recurring capital
improvements and maintenance items. Management believes that its annual
operating reserve for maintenance and recurring capital improvements as
well as reimbursements from tenants will provide the necessary funding for
such requirements. The Company intends to distribute approximately 65% to
90% of its funds from operations with the remaining 10% to 35% to be held
as a reserve for capital expenditures and continued growth opportunities.
Major tenant finish costs for currently vacant space are expected to be
funded with working capital, operating reserves, or revolving lines of
credit, and a return on the funds so invested is expected to be earned.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, revenue generating capital
expenditures, or tenant allowances for improvements, were $8.1 million.
These capital expenditures generate a return by increased rents from these
tenants over the term of their leases. Revenue enhancing capital
expenditures, or remodeling and renovation costs, were $8.4 million, the
majority of which was for the renovation of Hamilton Place in Chattanooga,
Tennessee. Revenue neutral capital expenditures, such as parking lot and
roof repairs, which are recovered from the tenants, were $5.1 million
in 1998.
The Company believes that the Properties are in compliance in all material
respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations
regarding the handling, discharge and emission of hazardous or toxic
substances. However, certain environmental conditions are being evaluated
at the recently acquired Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama. There
appears to be a high potential for adverse environmental conditions,
specifically Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, in the vicinity of an auto
service center which had underground storage tanks. The Company has ordered
additional engineering studies and as part of the redevelopment is
proceeding to correct the environmental conditions at the site. The Company
has not been notified by any governmental authority, and is not otherwise
aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to
hazardous or toxic substances in connection with any of its present or
former properties. The Company has not recorded in its financial statements
any material liability in connection with environmental matters.
-48-
Cash Flows
Cash flows provided by operating activities for 1998 increased by $28.2
million, or 46.5%, to $89.1 million from $60.9 million in 1997. This
increase was primarily due to the cash provided from the operations of
twelve new centers and the acquisition of fourteen centers in the last
twenty-four months. Cash flows used in investing activities for 1998
increased by $325.4 million, or 132.4%, to $571.3 million compared to $245.9
million in 1997. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of
eleven centers in 1998 and the Company's development program partially
offset by a draw on escrow funds in January 1998. Cash flows provided by
financing activities for 1998 increased by $301.1 million, or 163.7%, to
$484.9 million from $183.9 million in 1997. This increase is primarily due
to increased borrowings related to the development and acquisition programs
partially offset by the proceeds from the June 1998 preferred stock offering
which were used to pay down borrowings under the Company's credit
facilities.
Impact of Inflation
In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company because of the relatively low inflation rate. Substantially all
tenant leases do, however, contain provisions designed to protect the
Company from the impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses
enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross
sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses,
which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In
addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years which
may enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher
base and/or percentage rentals if rents from the existing leases are below
the then-existing market rate. Most of the leases require the tenants to
pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance,
real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Year 2000
The Year 2000 problem results from the use of a two digit year date
instead of a four digit date in the programs that operate computers,
information processing technology and systems and other devices (i.e. non-
information processing systems such as elevators, utility monitoring systems
and time clocks that use computer chips). Systems with a Year 2000 problem
have programs that were written to assume that the first two digits for any
date used in the program would always be "19". Unless corrected, this
assumption may result in computer programs misinterpreting the date
January 1, 2000 as January 1, 1900. This could cause systems to incorrectly
process critical financial and operational information, generate erroneous
information or fail altogether.
The Company's State of Readiness For Year 2000 - The Company has
completed a program to identify both its information and non-information
processing applications that are not year 2000 compliant. As a result of
this identification program, the Company believes that its core accounting
applications and the majority of non-information processing applications
are year 2000 compliant. Certain of its other information and non-
information processing applications were not yet year 2000 compliant. The
Company corrected or replaced all non-compliant systems and applications
including embedded systems, by the end of 1998. The Company has initiated
communications with its significant suppliers and tenants to determine the
extent to which the Company is vulnerable to the failure of such parties to
correct their year 2000 compliance issues. In
-49-
addition, the Company has formed a Year 2000 Committee that includes senior
personnel from most areas of the Company. These people are charged with
the duty of determining the extent of the Company's ongoing exposure and
taking the appropriate action to minimize any impact on the Company's
operations.
Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issue - The Company does
not expect to incur any significant costs to ensure the compliance of all
information processing systems and non-information processing systems
including embedded systems.
Risks Relating to The Year 2000 Issue And Contingency Plans - Although
the Company is not currently aware of any specific significant Year 2000
problems involving third party vendors or suppliers, the Company believes
that its most significant potential risk relating to the Year 2000 issue
is in regard to such third parties. For example, the Company believes there
could be failure in the information systems of certain service providers
that the Company relies upon for electrical, telephone and data transmission
and banking services.
The Company believes that any service disruption with respect to these
providers due to a Year 2000 issue would be of a short-term nature. The
Company has existing back-up systems and procedures, developed primarily
for natural disasters, that could be utilized on a short-term basis to
address any service interruptions. In addition, with respect to tenants,
a failure of their information systems could delay the payment of rents
or even impair their ability to operate. These tenant problems are likely
to be isolated and would likely not impact the operations of any particular
shopping center or the Company as a whole. While it is not possible at this
time to determine the likely impact of any of these potential problems,
the Company will continue to evaluate these areas and develop additional
contingency plans, as appropriate. Therefore, although the Company believes
that its Year 2000 issues have been addressed and that suitable remediation
and/or contingency procedures will be in place by December 31, 1999, there
can be no assurance that Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting
and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at
its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's
fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the
hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must
formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
that receive hedge accounting.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
A company may also implement SFAS No. 133 as of the beginning of any fiscal
quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998
and thereafter). SFAS No. 133 cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS No.
133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain
derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued,
acquired, or substantialy modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the
company's election, before January 1, 1998).
-50-
The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on
its financial statements and has not determined the timing or method of
adoption of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility
in earnings and other comprehensive income.
Funds from Operations
Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") provides an
additional indicator of the financial performance of the Properties. FFO
is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before property depreciation,
other non-cash items (consisting of the write-off of costs associated with
development projects not being pursued), gains or losses on sales of real
estate assets and gains or losses on investments in marketable securities.
The cost of interest rate caps and finance costs on the Company's lines of
credit are amortized and included in interest expense and, therefore,
reduces FFO. FFO also includes the Company's share of FFO in unconsolidated
properties and excludes minority interests' share of FFO in consolidated
properties.
The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not
only by the operations of the Properties, but also by the capital structure
of the Operating Partnership and the Company. Accordingly, management
expects that FFO will be one of the significant factors considered by the
Board of Directors in determining the amount of cash distributions the
Operating Partnership will make to its partners (including the Company).
Management also believes that FFO is a widely used measure of the operating
performance of REITs and provides a relevant basis for comparison among
Companies. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as, defined by
generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of
cash from operations available to fund all cash flow needs and should not
be considered as an alternative to net income for purposes of evaluating
the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity.
In 1998, FFO increased by $17.1 million, or 22.3%, to $93.6 million as
compared to $76.5 million in 1997. The increase in FFO was primarily
attributable to the continuing increase in revenues and income from
operations from new developments and acquisitions.
Beginning with the first quarter of 1998 the Company amended its
calculation of FFO to include straight line rents in accordance with
NAREIT's, definition of FFO. The Company has restated prior years' FFO
to conform with the revised calculation. The Company excludes outparcel
sales (which would have added $4.0 million in 1998) from its FFO
calculation, even though the NAREIT definition allows their inclusion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CBL &
ASSOCIATES PROPERTIES, INC. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1998. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CBL &
Associates Properties, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

CBL & ASSOCIATES PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, is engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of
regional shopping malls and community centers, primarily in the southeast
and select markets in northeast and midwest regions of the United States.
The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL
Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc., which are the sole general
partner and majority owner of the Operating Partnership respectively. As a
result, the Company conducts its business through the Operating Partnership,
which at December 31, 1998, owns controlling interests in a portfolio of
properties consisting of twenty-four regional malls, thirteen associated
centers, each of which is part of a regional shopping mall complex, two
power centers, eighty community centers and one office building.
Additionally, the Operating Partnership owns noncontrolling interests in
four regional malls and one associated center. The Operating Partnership
has one mall, one associated center, one power center and two community
centers currently under construction and has options to acquire certain
development properties owned by third parties. At December 31, 1998, CBL
Holdings I, Inc. owned a 2.6% general partnership interest and CBL
Holdings II, Inc. owned a 65.1% limited partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership for a combined interest held by the Company of
67.7%.
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership is held primarily
by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively "CBL") who
contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint
ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership
interests in connection with the formation of the Operating Partnership in
November 1993. At December 31, 1998, CBL owns a 25.8% limited partnership
interest in the Operating Partnership (Note 9).
In January 1997, the Company completed a spot offering of 3,000,000
shares of its common stock at $26.125 per share. The net proceeds of $74.3
million were used to repay variable rate indebtedness incurred in the
Company's development and acquisition programs.
In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000
shares of 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series
A Preferred Stock") at a price to the public of $25.00 per share, including
715,875 shares purchased by an affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank. The net
proceeds of $70 million were used to repay variable rate indebtedness
incurred in the Company's development and acquisition programs. The
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue from
the date of issue and are payable quarterly in arrears commencing on
September 30, 1998 at a rate of $2.25 per share per annum. The Series A
Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund
or mandatory redemption and is not redeemable prior to July 1, 2003. On or
after July 1,2003 the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock,
in whole or in part, at any time for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per
share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid.
To comply with certain technical requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Operating Partnership carries
out the Company's property management and development activities through
CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company"). The
Operating Partnership holds 100% of the preferred stock and 5% of the
common stock of the Management Company, with CBL holding the remaining 95%
of the common stock. Through the ownership of the preferred stock, the
Operating Partnership receives substantially all of the cash flow, and
therefore enjoys substantially all of the economic benefits of the
Management Company's operations. Due to the Company's ability, as sole
general partner, to control the Operating Partnership and Operating
Partnership's rights to substantially all of the economic benefits of the
Management Company, the accounts of each
-68-
entity are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Management Company are
referred to collectively as the "Company".
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidated presentation.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Real Estate Assets
Costs directly related to the development of real estate assets,
including overhead costs directly attributable to property development,
are capitalized. Interest costs incurred during the development and
construction period are capitalized.
Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major
replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis
generally over forty years for buildings and improvements and seven to ten
years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically 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 the projected undiscounted future cash flow of such asset is
less than its carrying value. Management believes that no material
impairment existed at December 31, 1998, and accordingly, no loss was
recognized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and cash equivalent
investments with original maturities of three months or less, primarily
consisting of demand deposits in banks.
Cash in Escrow
Cash in escrow includes cash deposited in escrow accounts which is
to be used for the purchase of specific real estate assets.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are included in other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and include fees and costs
incurred to obtain long-term financing and are being amortized over the
terms of the respective mortgage notes payable. Unamortized deferred
financing costs are written off when mortgage notes payable are retired
before the maturity date.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue attributable to operating leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the initial term of the related leases. Certain
tenants are required to pay additional rent if sales volume exceeds
specified amounts. The Company
-69-
recognizes this additional rent as revenue when such amounts become
determinable. A substantial portion of the Company's rental income is
derived from various national and regional retail companies.
Tenant Reimbursements
The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for certain costs as
provided in the lease agreements. These costs consist of real estate taxes,
common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. Tenant reimbursements
are recognized as revenue in the period the costs are incurred.
Management, Development and Leasing Fees
Management fees are charged as a percentage of rentals and are
recognized as revenue as they are earned. Leasing fees are charged for
newly executed leases. These fees are recognized as revenues as they are
earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis
over the development period.
Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets
Gain on sales of real estate assets are recognized at the time title
to the asset is transferred to the buyer, subject to the adequacy of the
buyer's initial and continuing investment and the assumption by the buyer
of all future ownership risks of the property.
Income Taxes
The Company is qualified as a real estate investment trust under
Section 856 through 860 of the Code and applicable treasury regulations.
In order to maintain qualification as a real estate investment trust, the
Company is required to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to
shareholders and meet certain other asset and income tests as well as
other requirements. As a real estate investment trust, the Company will
generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes. Thus, no
provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a
real estate investment trust in any taxable year, the Company will be
subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate
tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as
a real estate investment trust, the Company may be subject to certain state
and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise
taxes on its undistributed income. State income taxes were not significant
in 1998, 1997 and 1996.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest rate cap and swap agreements, which are principally used by
the Company in the management of interest rate exposure, are accounted for
on an accrual basis. Amounts to be paid or received under interest rate cap
and swap agreements are recorded in interest expense in the period in which
they accrue. See Note 7 for additional information.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's tenants consist of national, regional and local
retailers. Financial instruments which subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of tenant receivables.
The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support
financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit
standing of tenants.
-70-
Earnings Per Common Share
Effective for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share," which replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share
("EPS") and fully diluted EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and diluted
EPS, respectively. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number
of unrestricted common shares outstanding for the period. Similar to
fully diluted EPS, diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for
all potentially dilutive equivalent shares outstanding. The limited
partners' rights to convert their minority interest in the Operating
Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive (Note 9). The
difference in basic and diluted EPS was due to the assumed conversion of
outstanding stock options and restricted stock resulting in 261,000,
256,000 and 132,000 potential dilutive common shares in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. All prior period EPS data have been restated.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" (APB No. 25). Effective in 1996, the Company adopted the
disclosure option of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 123 requires companies that do not choose to
account for stock-based compensation as prescribed by the statement to
disclose the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share as if
SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. Additionally, certain other disclosures
are required with respect to stock-based compensation and the assumptions
used to determine the pro forma effects of SFAS No. 123. See Note 11 for
the required disclosures.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
3. UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
The Company has investments in five partnerships and joint ventures, all
of which are reflected on the equity method of accounting in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and consist of the
following at December 31, 1998:

refinanced with lower fixed rate debt. A prepayment penalty of
approximately $1,727,000 was incurred in connection with the
refinancing. The Company's share of this prepayment penalty has
been reflected as extraordinary loss on extinguishment of debt in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
In general, contributions and distributions of capital or cash
flows and allocations of income and expense are made on a pro
rata basis in proportion to the equity interest held by each general
or limited partner.

total revenue.
7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial
instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. They are used to manage
well defined interest rate risks.
Under interest rate swap agreements, the Company agrees with other parties
to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and
variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon
notional amount. Under these agreements, the Company receives interest payments
at a rate equal to LIBOR (5.63% at December 31, 1998) and pays interest at fixed
rates shown below.
-74-
The Company has the following interest rate swaps in place at December 31,
1998, totaling $314 million:
Fixed
Notional Amount LIBOR Effective Expiration
(in millions) Component Date Date

rate debt, one at 7.0% for 1998 and one at 7.5% for 1999.
The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by
the counterparties to its interest rate swap and cap agreements and
nonderivative financial assets but has no off-balance sheet credit risk of
accounting loss. The Company anticipates, however, that counterparties will be
able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company does
not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject
to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally
document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. A
company may also implement SFAS No. 133 as of the beginning of any fiscal
quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998 and
thereafter). SFAS No. 133 cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS No. 133 must be
applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments
embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively
modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the company's election, before January
1, 1998).
The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on
its financial statements and has not determined the timing or method of adoption
of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings and
other comprehensive income.
8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrow,
receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates
of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial
instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the
carrying value of mortgage notes receivable is a reasonable estimation of fair
value. The carrying value of mortgage and other notes payable, based on
borrowing rates currently available to the Company, is a reasonable estimation
of fair value at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The fair value of the interest rate
-75-
swap and cap agreements, which represents the cash requirement if the existing
agreements had been settled at year end, was not significant at December 31,
1998 and 1997.
9. CONVERSION RIGHTS
Pursuant to the Operating Partnership agreement, the limited partners were
granted rights to convert their limited partnership interests in the Operating
Partnership into shares of common stock, subject to certain limits, and to sell
to the Company after November 3, 1996 part or all of their limited partnership
interest in the Operating Partnership in exchange for shares of common stock or
their cash equivalent at the Company's election, as defined.
The Operating Partnership purchased properties from CBL in exchange for
63,904 and 67,850 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership during
1998 and 1997, respectively. During 1998, the Operating Partnership issued
2,749,888 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership valued at $68.3
million to third parties in exchange for seven properties.
In July 1998, the Company purchased 122,008 limited partnership units
valued at $3.0 million from a former executive and minority limited partner in
the Operating Partnership. Also during 1998, a third party converted 388,022
limited partnership units to common stock.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, there remained outstanding rights to convert
CBL's minority interest in the Operating Partnership to 9,417,752 and 9,475,875
shares of common stock, respectively. At December 31, 1998, there remained
outstanding rights to convert third party minority interests in the Operating
Partnership to 2,361,866 shares of common stock.
10. 401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Management Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is
qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code to cover employees
of the Management Company. All employees who have attained the age of 21 and
have completed at least one year of service are eligible to participate in the
plan. The plan provides for employer matching contributions on behalf of each
participant equal to 50% of the portion of such participant's contribution which
does not exceed 2.5% of such participant's compensation for the plan year.
Additionally, the Management Company has the discretion to make additional
profit-sharing-type contributions not related to participant elective
contributions. Total contributions by the Management Company were not
significant for 1998, 1997, and 1996.
11. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company maintains the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which
permits the issuance of stock options and common stock to selected officers,
employees and directors of the Company, up to 2,800,000 shares of common stock.
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
(the "Committee").
Stock options issued under the Plan allow for the purchase of common stock
at the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Stock options
granted to officers and employees under the Plan vest and become exercisable in
installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant and
expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options granted to directors are
fully vested upon grant, but may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred
in any manner during the director's term or for one year thereafter.
-76-
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under APB No.
25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options
granted as all employee options have been granted with an exercise price equal
to the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. For SFAS
No. 123 purposes, the fair value of each employee option grant has been
estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Sholes option pricing model
and the following weighted average assumptions for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively:
1998 1997 1996
--------- --------- ---------
Risk-free interest rate 5.90% 6.73% 6.53%
Dividend yield 8.09% 7.87% 7.64%
Expected volatility 16.00% 16.00% 16.00%
Expected life 7.2 years 7.0 years 6.5 years
Using these assumptions, the fair value of the employee stock options
granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996 is $468,000, $860,000 and $965,000, respectively,
which would be amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the
options. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined in accordance with
SFAS No. 123, utilizing the assumptions detailed above, the Company's pro forma
net income and net income per share would have been as follows for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively:
1998 1997 1996
--------- --------- ---------
Net income available to common
shareholders (in thousands):
As reported $ 37,265 $ 34,941 $ 34,423
Pro forma 36,692 34,442 34,117
Net income per share:
Basic as reported $ 1.55 $ 1.46 $ 1.65
Pro forma basic 1.52 1.44 1.63
Diluted as reported 1.53 1.45 1.64
Pro forma diluted 1.51 1.43 1.62
The pro forma effect on net income in this disclosure is not representative
of the pro forma effect on net income in future years because it does not take
into consideration pro forma compensation expense related to grants made prior
to 1995.

A summary of the Company's stock option activity for 1998, 1997, and 1996
is as follows:

=========
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1998, 1997, and
1996 was $1.49, $1.84 and $1.66, respectively.
Shares subject to options outstanding at December 31, 1998 have a
weighted-average remaining contractual life of 7.5 years. Of the options
outstanding at December 31, 1998, 653,450 are currently exercisable with a
weighted- average exercise price of $20.35 per share.
Under the Plan, common stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to,
or in tandem with other stock awards granted under the Plan. The Committee has
the authority to determine eligible persons to whom common stock will be
awarded, the number of shares to be awarded and the duration of the vesting
period, as defined.
During 1998, the Company issued 37,333 shares of common stock under the
Plan with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $25.19 per share, of which
10,789 shares of common stock were immediately vested. The remaining 26,544
shares of common stock vest at various dates from 1999 to 2003.
During 1997, the Company issued 31,745 shares of common stock under the
Plan with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $24.86 per share, of which
13,483 shares of common stock were immediately vested. The remaining 18,262
shares of common stock vest at various dates from 1998 to 1999.
During 1996, the Company issued 26,780 shares of common stock under the
Plan with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $23.35 per share, of which
12,391 shares of common stock were immediately vested. The remaining 14,389
shares of common stock vest at various dates from 1997 to 1999.
Deferred compensation related to the common stock issued under the Plan is
reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders' equity
based on the market value of the common stock at the date of grant and is
amortized ratably over the period the awards vest.
-78-
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
CBL and certain officers of the Company have a significant minority
interest in the construction company that has been engaged by the Company in the
building of substantially all of the properties.
The Management Company provides management and leasing services to
affiliated partnerships and joint ventures not controlled by the Company.
Revenue recognized for these services amounted to $1,034,000 in 1998, $837,000
in 1997, and $1,537,000 in 1996.
A company that provides security, maintenance, cleaning services and
background music for certain of the real estate properties was majority owned by
officers of the Company during a portion of 1997. The company was sold to an
independent third party in 1997. Expenses related to these services were not
significant in 1997 and 1996.
An insurance agency that has served as agent with respect to the placing of
insurance on certain of the real estate properties was majority owned by certain
employees of the Management Company at December 31, 1996. Total insurance
premiums paid by the Company to the related insurance agency were $2,229,000 in
1996. Due to a change in insurance agent, no premiums were paid in 1998 or 1997
to this agency.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is currently involved in certain litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the pending
litigation will not materially affect the financial statements of the Company.
Additionally, based on environmental studies completed to date on the real
estate properties, management believes exposure related to environmental cleanup
will be immaterial to the consolidated financial position and consolidated
results of operations of the Company.
The Company has entered into standby purchase agreements with third-party
developers (the "Developers") for the construction, development and potential
ownership of four community centers in Georgia and Texas (the "Co-Development
Projects"). The Developers have utilized these standby purchase agreements to
assist in obtaining financing to fund the construction of the Co-Development
Projects. The standby purchase agreements, which expire in 1999 and 2000, are
dependent upon certain completion requirements, rental levels, the inability of
the Developers to obtain adequate permanent financing and the inability to sell
the Co-Development Project before the Company has to fund their equity
contribution or purchase the Co-Development Project. In return for its
commitment to purchase a Co-Development Project pursuant to a standby purchase
agreement, the Company receives a fee as well as a participation interest in
each Co-Development Project. The outstanding amount of standby purchase
agreements at December 31, 1998 is $116.4 million.
