Part I

Item 1. Business

    Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, is a majority owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation. SPG is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Each share of common stock of SPG is paired with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a share of common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., also a Delaware corporation ("SRC" and together with SPG, the "Companies"). Units of partnership interests ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are paired with a Unit in SPG Realty Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership"). The SRC Operating Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC.

    As of December 31, 2000, the SPG Operating Partnership owned or held an interest in 251 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 164 regional malls, 73 community shopping centers, five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls in 36 states (the "Properties"), and five additional retail real estate properties operating in Europe. The SPG Operating Partnership also owned an interest in two properties currently under construction and 11 parcels of land held for future development, which together with the Properties are hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio" or the "Portfolio Properties."

    Mergers and acquisitions have been a significant component of the growth and development of the SPG Operating Partnership's business. Beginning with the $3.0 billion acquisition, through merger, of DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC") in August of 1996, affiliates of the SPG Operating Partnership have completed five major mergers and/or acquisitions that have helped shape their current organization. Information regarding the mergers and acquisitions required by this item are included in the Notes to Financial Statements of the attached audited financial statements, Notes 3, 4, and 5 (acquisitions portion only), included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

    During 2000, regional malls (including specialty retail centers and retail space in the mixed-use Properties), community centers and the remaining Portfolio comprised 92.4%, 4.7%, and 2.9%, respectively of consolidated rent revenues and tenant reimbursements. The Properties contain an aggregate of approximately 184.7 million square feet of GLA, of which 109.5 million square feet is owned by the SPG Operating Partnership ("Owned GLA"). More than 4,200 different retailers occupy more than 20,400 stores in the Properties. Total estimated retail sales at the Properties in 2000 were approximately $38 billion.

    The SPG Operating Partnership's primary business objectives are to increase cash generated from operations per Unit and the value of the Portfolio Properties. The SPG Operating Partnership plans to achieve these objectives through a variety of methods discussed below, although no assurance can be made that such objectives will be achieved.

    Leasing.  The SPG Operating Partnership pursues an active leasing strategy, which includes aggressively marketing available space; renewing existing leases at higher base rents per square foot; and continuing to sign leases that provide for percentage rents and/or regular or periodic fixed contractual increases in base rents.

3


    Management.  Drawing upon the expertise gained through management of a geographically diverse Portfolio nationally recognized as high quality retail and mixed-use Properties, the SPG Operating Partnership seeks to maximize cash flow through a combination of an active merchandising program to maintain its shopping centers as inviting shopping destinations, continuation of its successful efforts to minimize overhead and operating costs, coordinated marketing and promotional activities directed towards establishing and maintaining customer loyalty, and systematic planning and monitoring of results.

    E-Commerce.  The SPG Operating Partnership is developing unique programs designed to take advantage of new retail opportunities of the digital age. Elements of the strategy include digitizing the existing assets of the Properties by implementing internet web sites for each of the Properties, creating products that leverage the digitalization of consumers and Simon merchants through an enhanced broadband network called MerchantWired, LLC.

    Acquisitions.  The SPG Operating Partnership may selectively acquire individual properties and portfolios of properties that meet its investment criteria as opportunities arise. Management believes, however, that due to the rapid consolidation of the regional mall business, coupled with the current status of the capital markets, that acquisition activity in the near term will be a less significant component of the SPG Operating Partnership's growth strategy.

    Development in North America.  The SPG Operating Partnership's strategy is to selectively develop new properties in major metropolitan areas that exhibit strong population and economic growth. During 2000, the SPG Operating Partnership opened one specialty center, and one value-oriented super-regional mall. These additions added approximately 1.7 million square feet of GLA to the Portfolio at a cost to the SPG Operating Partnership of approximately $162 million. The SPG Operating Partnership also has two additional projects under construction, which are scheduled to open in 2001.

    Strategic Expansions and Renovations.  A key objective of the SPG Operating Partnership is to increase the profitability and market share of the Properties through the completion of strategic renovations and expansions. During 2000, the SPG Operating Partnership invested approximately $202 million on redevelopment projects and completed five major redevelopment projects. The SPG Operating Partnership has a number of renovation and/or expansion projects currently under construction, or in preconstruction development.

    The SPG Operating Partnership also has direct or indirect interests in eleven parcels of land being held for future development in eight states totaling approximately 772 acres. Management believes the SPG Operating Partnership is well positioned to pursue future development opportunities as conditions warrant.

    International Expansion.  The SPG Operating Partnership's management believes the expertise it has gained through the development and management of its domestic Portfolio can be utilized in retail properties throughout the world. The SPG Operating Partnership intends to continue pursuing international opportunities on a selected basis to enhance the value of its Units.

    B2B and B2C Initiatives.  SPG recently formed Simon Brand Ventures, LLC ("SBV"), a business to consumer initiative, and Simon Business Network ("SBN"), a business-to-business initiative to continue to take advantage of the SPG Operating Partnership's size and tenant relationships, primarily through strategic corporate alliances. SBV is focused on leveraging the SPG Operating Partnership's 100 million unique shoppers and their 2 billion annual shopping visits to contribute to the SPG Operating Partnership's second-curve revenue strategy. The SBV concept and initiatives were started in 1997 to create an exciting new medium for connecting consumers with retailers and sponsors by developing a unique and compelling combination of shopping, entertainment and community. SBN is

4


focused on leveraging the SPG Operating Partnership's assets to create new businesses which will drive greater value to its Portfolio Properties, retailers and other developers and generate new sources of revenue for the SPG Operating Partnership. SBN's strategy is to provide a competitively valued, broad-based offering of products and services via a unique and dominant business-to-business marketplace and service network focused on the real estate industry and their tenants. Effective January 1, 2001, SBV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SPG Operating Partnership.

    The SPG Operating Partnership believes that it has a competitive advantage in the retail real estate business as a result of (i) the size, quality and diversity of its Properties, (ii) its use of innovative retailing concepts, (iii) its management and operational expertise, (iv) its extensive experience and relationships with retailers and lenders, (v) the mall marketing initiatives of SBV, which the SPG Operating Partnership believes is the world's largest and most sophisticated mall marketing initiative, and (vi) the B2Binitiatives of SBN. Management believes that the Properties are the largest, as measured by GLA, of any publicly traded retail real estate owner, with more regional malls than any other publicly traded retail real estate owner. For these reasons, management believes the SPG Operating Partnership to be the leader in the industry.

    All of the Portfolio Properties are located in developed areas. With respect to certain of such properties, there are other properties of the same type within the market area. The existence of competitive properties could have a material adverse effect on the SPG Operating Partnership's ability to lease space and on the level of rents the SPG Operating Partnership can obtain.

    There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other owners of real estate that compete with the SPG Operating Partnership in its trade areas. This results in competition for both acquisition of prime sites (including land for development and operating properties) and for tenants to occupy the space that the SPG Operating Partnership and its competitors develop and manage.

    General Compliance.  Management believes that the Portfolio Properties are in compliance, in all material respects, with all Federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings). Nearly all of the Portfolio Properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits (which generally involve only a review of records and visual inspection of the property without soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent environmental consultants. The Phase I environmental audits are intended to discover information regarding, and to evaluate the environmental condition of, the surveyed properties and surrounding properties. The environmental audits have not revealed, nor is management aware of, any environmental liability that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the SPG Operating Partnership. No assurance can be given that existing environmental studies with respect to the Portfolio Properties reveal all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant of a Portfolio Property did not create any material environmental condition not known to management; that the current environmental condition of the Portfolio Properties will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that future uses or condition (including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof) will not result in imposition of additional environmental liability.

    Asbestos-Containing Materials.  Asbestos-containing materials are present in most of the Properties, primarily in the form of vinyl asbestos tile, mastics and roofing materials, which are generally in good condition. Fireproofing and insulation containing asbestos is also present in certain Properties in

5


limited concentrations or in limited areas. The presence of such asbestos-containing materials does not violate currently applicable laws. The SPG Operating Partnership will remove asbestos-containing materials in the ordinary course of any renovation, reconstruction and expansion, and in connection with the retenanting of space.

    Underground Storage Tanks.  Several of the Portfolio Properties contain, or at one time contained, underground storage tanks used to store waste oils or other petroleum products primarily related to auto services center establishments or emergency electrical generation equipment. All regulated tanks have been removed, upgraded or abandoned in place in accordance with applicable environmental laws. Site assessments have revealed certain soil and groundwater contamination associated with such tanks at some of these Properties. Subsurface investigations (Phase II assessments) and remediation activities are either ongoing or scheduled to be conducted at such Properties. The cost of remediation with respect to such matters has not been and is not expected to be material.

    Properties to be Developed or Acquired.  Land held for shopping mall development or that may be acquired for development may contain residues or debris associated with the use of the land by prior owners or third parties. In certain instances, such residues or debris could be or contain hazardous wastes or hazardous substances. Prior to exercising any option to acquire any of the optioned properties, the SPG Operating Partnership will conduct environmental due diligence consistent with past practice.

    The SPG Operating Partnership and its affiliates employ approximately 5,370 persons at various centers and offices throughout the United States, of which 2,590 are part-time. Approximately 930 employees are located at the SPG Operating Partnership's headquarters.

    The SPG Operating Partnership has comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to its Properties. Management believes that such insurance provides adequate coverage.

    The SPG Operating Partnership's executive offices are located at National City Center, 115 West Washington Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, and its telephone number is (317) 636-1600.

Item 2. Properties

    The Properties primarily consist of two types: regional malls and community shopping centers. Regional malls generally contain two or more anchors and a wide variety of smaller stores ("Mall" stores) located in enclosed malls connecting the anchors. Additional stores ("Freestanding" stores) are usually located along the perimeter of the parking area. The 164 regional malls in the Properties range in size from approximately 200,000 to 2.8 million square feet of GLA, with all but four regional malls over 400,000 square feet. These regional malls contain in the aggregate more than 17,000 occupied stores, including over 650 anchors which are mostly national retailers. As of December 31, 2000, regional malls (including specialty retail centers and retail space in the mixed-use Properties) represented 85.4% of total GLA, 80.4% of Owned GLA and 86.0% of total annualized base rent of the Properties.

    Community shopping centers are generally unenclosed and smaller than regional malls. Most of the 73 community shopping centers in the Properties range in size from approximately 50,000 to 600,000 square feet of GLA. Community shopping centers generally are of two types: (i) traditional community centers, which focus primarily on value-oriented and convenience goods and services, are usually anchored by a supermarket, drugstore or discount retailer and are designed to service a neighborhood area; and (ii) power centers, which are designed to serve a larger trade area and contain at least two anchors that are usually national retailers among the leaders in their markets and occupy more than 70% of the GLA in the center. As of December 31, 2000, community shopping centers represented 9.7% of total GLA, 11.6% of Owned GLA and 6.0% of the total annualized base rent of the Properties.

    The SPG Operating Partnership also has interests in five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use Properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls. The specialty retail centers contain approximately 1,838,000 square feet of GLA and do not have anchors; instead, they feature retailers and entertainment facilities in a distinctive shopping environment and location. The four office and mixed-use Properties range in size from approximately 512,000 to 1,048,000 square feet of GLA. Two of these Properties are regional malls with connected office buildings, and two are located in mixed-use developments and contain primarily office space. The value-oriented super-regional malls range in size from approximately 1.0 million to 1.6 million square feet of GLA. These Properties combine retail outlets, manufacturers' off-price stores and other value-oriented tenants. As of December 31, 2000,

8


value-oriented super-regional malls represented 3.5% of total GLA, 5.7% of Owned GLA and 5.7% of the total annualized base rent of the Properties.

    As of December 31, 2000, approximately 91.8% of the Mall and Freestanding Owned GLA in regional malls, specialty retail centers and the retail space in the mixed use Properties was leased, approximately 92.9% of the Owned GLA in the value-oriented super-regional malls was leased, and approximately 91.5% of Owned GLA in the community shopping centers was leased.

    Of the 251 Properties, 171 are owned 100% by the SPG Operating Partnership and the remainder are held as joint venture interests. The SPG Operating Partnership is the managing or co-managing general partner or member of all but 15 of the Properties held as joint venture interests.

On December 28, 2000, Montgomery Ward LLC and certain of its related entities ("Ward") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. A limited liability company was formed by affiliates of Kimco Realty Corporation, (the Schottenstein organization) and the Management Company has acquired the right to designate persons or entities to whom the Ward real estate assets will be sold. Thus far, Target Corp., Sears Roebuck & Co. and May Department Stores have entered into agreements to collectively acquire sixty-six (66) of the former Ward stores, of which ten (10) are located at the Portfolio Properties. These transactions are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

    The SPG Operating Partnership has direct or indirect ownership interests in eleven parcels of land held for future development, containing an aggregate of approximately 772 acres located in eight states. In addition, the SPG Operating Partnership, through the Management Company, has interests in two parcels of land totaling 243 acres, which were previously held for development, but are now being marketed for sale.

    At certain of the Properties held as joint-ventures, the SPG Operating Partnership and its partners each have rights of first refusal, subject to certain conditions, to acquire additional ownership in the Property should the other partner decide to sell its ownership interest. In addition, certain of the Properties held as joint ventures contain "buy-sell" provisions, which gives the partners the right to trigger a purchase or sale of ownership interest amongst the partners.

    The following table sets forth certain information regarding the mortgages and other debt encumbering the Properties. Substantially all of the mortgage and property related debt is nonrecourse, although certain Unitholders have guaranteed a portion of the property related debt in the aggregate amount of $618.7 million.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data, and all of the financial statements and notes thereto that are included in this report. Certain statements made in this report may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for retail space or retail goods, availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the terms and availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate markets including, among other things, competition with other companies and technology; risks of real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; substantial indebtedness; conflicts of interests; maintenance of REIT status; and environmental/safety requirements. We undertake no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

    Who we are—Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, is a majority owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation. SPG is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Each share of common stock of SPG is paired with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a share of common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., also a Delaware corporation ("SRC" and together with SPG, the "Companies"). Units of partnership interests ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are paired with a Unit in SPG Realty Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership"). The SRC Operating Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC. In this report, the terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to the SPG Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

    We are engaged primarily in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, expansion and development of real estate properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 2000, we owned or held an interest in 251 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 164 regional malls, 73 community shopping centers, five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls in 36 states (the "Properties"), five additional retail real estate properties operating in Europe, and two properties currently under construction and 11 parcels of land held for future development (the "Portfolio" or the "Portfolio Properties"). At both December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Companies' direct and indirect ownership interests in the Operating Partnerships were 72.4%. We also hold substantially all of the economic interest in M.S. Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management Company"). See Note 8 to the attached financial statements for a description of the activities of the Management Company.

39


    Our operating results for the two years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, and their comparability to the respective prior periods, were significantly impacted by a number of Property acquisitions and openings beginning in 1998. The greatest impact on results of operations has come from the September 24, 1998 acquisition, through merger, of Corporate Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI") and Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc. (the "CPI Merger") (see Note 4 to the financial statements). In addition, we acquired ownership interests in, or commenced operations of, a number of other Properties throughout the comparative periods and, as a result, increased the number of Properties we account for using the consolidated method of accounting and sold interests in several Properties throughout the comparative periods (together with the CPI merger, the "Property Transactions"). "Liquidity and Capital Resources" contains additional information on the 2000 activity and Note 5 to the financial statements contains information about acquisitions and dispositions prior to 2000.

    On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), which addressed certain revenue recognition policies, including the accounting for overage rent by a landlord. SAB 101 requires overage rent to be recognized as revenue only when each tenant's sales exceeds its sales threshold. We previously recognized overage rent based on reported and estimated sales through the end of the period, less the applicable prorated base sales amount. We adopted SAB 101 effective January 1, 2000 and recorded a loss from the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $12.3 million, which includes our $1.8 million share from unconsolidated entities.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2000 vs. Year Ended December 31, 1999

    Operating income increased $55.2 million or 6.5% in 2000 as compared to 1999. This increase includes the net result of the Property Transactions ($10.8 million). Excluding these transactions, operating income increased approximately $44.4 million or 5.2%, primarily resulting from a $53.6 million increase in minimum rents, a $14.2 million increase in consolidated revenues realized from marketing initiatives throughout the Portfolio from our strategic marketing division, Simon Brand Ventures ("SBV"), a $3.8 million increase in miscellaneous income, a $4.8 million increase in interest income, and an $8.6 million increase in lease settlements, partially offset by a $31.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $2.5 million increase in cost sharing expense, and a $4.7 million increase in other expenses. The increase in minimum rent primarily results from increased occupancy levels, the replacement of expiring tenant leases with renewal leases at higher minimum base rents, and a $5.1 million increase in rents from tenants operating under license agreements. The increase in miscellaneous income results from gift certificate sales previously recorded on the Management Company and incidental fee revenues. The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to an increase in depreciable real estate realized through renovation and expansion activities.

    Interest expense increased $57.5 million, or 9.9% in 2000 as compared to 1999. This increase is primarily the result of overall increases in interest rates during the comparative periods ($20.6 million), the Property Transactions ($8.2 million) and incremental interest on borrowings under our Credit Facility to complete the NED Acquisition ($12.4 million) and acquire an ownership interest in Mall of America ($3.8 million), with the remainder being primarily from borrowings for Property redevelopments that opened in the comparative periods.

    The $9.1 million net gain on the sales of assets in 2000 results from the sale of our interests in an office building, two regional malls and four community shopping centers for approximately

40


$142.6 million, partially offset by a $10.6 million asset write-down on two Properties recognized in the second quarter of 2000. In 1999, we recognized a net loss of $7.1 million on the sale of four Properties.

    Income from unconsolidated entities increased $34.7 million in 2000, resulting from a $26.1 million increase in income from the Management Company and an $8.6 million increase in income from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The increase in Management Company income is primarily the result of a $6.7 million increase in management fees due to property acquisitions and increased minimum rents, $7.3 million of asset write-downs recognized in 1999, $4.6 million in 2000 residual land sales, as well as a $5.3 million increase in the income tax benefit, which is primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances due to 2000 income and forecasted future income. Income from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included a $5.0 million asset impairment write-down in 1999 related to The Tower Shops.

    During the first quarter of 2000, we recorded a $12.3 million expense resulting from the cumulative effect of an accounting change described above.

    Net income was $340.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, which reflects a $49.3 million or 16.9% increase over 1999, primarily for the reasons discussed above, and was allocated to the Unitholders of the SPG Operating Partnership based upon their preferred Unit preferences and weighted average ownership interests in the SPG Operating Partnership during the period.

Year Ended December 31, 1999 vs. Year Ended December 31, 1998

    Operating income increased $212.7 million or 33.2% in 1999 as compared to 1998. This increase is primarily the result of the CPI Merger ($141.3 million) and the Property Transactions ($23.0 million). Excluding these transactions, operating income increased approximately $48.5 million, primarily resulting from an approximately $15.1 million increase in consolidated revenues realized from marketing initiatives throughout the Portfolio from our strategic marketing division, Simon Brand Ventures ("SBV"); a $39.1 million increase in minimum rents; a $6.3 million increase in gains from sales of peripheral properties; a $7.2 million increase in interest income and a $4.3 million increase in lease settlement income, partially offset by a $14.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization and an $8.6 million decrease in fee income. The increase in minimum rent primarily results from increased occupancy levels, the replacement of expiring tenant leases with renewal leases at higher minimum base rents, and a $7.9 million increase in rents from tenants operating under license agreements. The increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to an increase in depreciable real estate realized through renovation and expansion activities.

    Interest expense increased $159.6 million, or 38.0% in 1999 as compared to 1998. This increase is primarily a result of the CPI Merger ($124.9 million) and the Property Transactions ($18.0 million). The remaining increase includes incremental interest resulting from our 1998 issuance of $1,1 billion of public notes, the proceeds of which were used primarily to pay down the Credit Facility (see Liquidity and Capital Resources) ($4.5 million), and incremental interest on borrowings under our Credit Facility to complete the NED Acquisition, and acquire ownership interests in the IBM Properties and Mall of America ($6.3 million) (see Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes 3 & 5 to the financial statements).

    Income from unconsolidated entities increased $21.5 million in 1999, resulting from an increase in our share of income from partnerships and joint ventures ($22.6 million), partially offset by a decrease in its share of the income from the Management Company ($1.1 million). The increase in our share of income from partnerships and joint ventures is primarily the result of the joint venture interests acquired in the CPI Merger ($11.4 million), the IBM Properties ($3.2 million) and the NED Acquisition ($3.1 million). The decrease in Management Company income is primarily the result of losses associated with interests in two parcels of land held by the Management Company ($7.3 million),

41


partially offset by increases in SBV revenues ($2.9 million), construction services revenues ($1.3 million) and increased earnings from a subsidiary captive insurance company ($1.1 million).

    As discussed further in Note 13 to the financial statements, the $12.0 million unusual item in 1999 is the estimated result of damages arising from the litigation surrounding the 1996 acquisition through merger of DeBartolo Realty Corporation (the "DRC Merger"). The actual amount of damages has not yet been determined by the courts.

    The $6.7 million extraordinary loss and $7.1 million extraordinary gain in 1999 and 1998, respectively, are the net results from refinancings, early extinguishments and/or forgiveness of debt.

    Net income was $291.1 million during 1999, an increase of $50.7 million over 1998, primarily for the reasons discussed above, and was allocated to the Unitholders of the SPG Operating Partnership based upon their preferred Unit preferences and weighted average ownership interests in the SPG Operating Partnership during the period.

    As of December 31, 2000, our balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was $209.8 million, including $116.5 million related to our gift certificate program, which we do not consider available for general working capital purposes. We have a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") which had available credit of $598.5 million at December 31, 2000. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points and has an initial maturity of August 2002, with an additional one-year extension available at our option. SPG and the SPG Operating Partnership also have access to public equity and debt markets. Our current corporate bond ratings are Baa1 by Moody's Investors Service and BBB+ by Standard & Poor's.

    We anticipate that cash generated from operating performance will provide the funds we need on a short- and long-term basis for operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital expenditures, and distributions to Unitholders so that SPG can comply with REIT requirements. Sources of capital for nonrecurring capital expenditures, such as major building renovations and expansions, as well as for scheduled principal payments, including balloon payments, on outstanding indebtedness are expected to be obtained from:

    At December 31, 2000, we had consolidated debt of $8.7 billion, of which $6.1 billion was fixed-rate debt, bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 7.3% and $2.6 billion was variable-rate debt bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 7.5%. As of December 31, 2000, we had interest rate protection agreements related to $404.0 million of combined consolidated variable-rate debt. Our interest rate protection agreements did not materially impact interest expense or weighted average borrowing rates in 2000.

    Our share of total scheduled principal payments of mortgage and other indebtedness, including unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness over the next five years is $7.1 billion, with $3.6 billion thereafter. We, together with SPG and the SRC Operating Partnership (See Note 1 to the financial statements), have a combined ratio of consolidated debt-to-market capitalization of 57.0% and 58.1% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

42


    Market Risk—Sensitivity Analysis.  Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, primarily LIBOR. Based upon consolidated indebtedness and interest rates at December 31, 2000, a 0.25% increase in the market rates of interest would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $5.9 million, and would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $220.0 million. A 0.25% decrease in the market rates of interest would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $5.9 million, and would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $230.0 million. We manage our exposure to interest rate risk by a combination of interest rate protection agreements to effectively fix or cap a portion of our variable rate debt and by refinancing fixed rate debt at times when rates and terms are appropriate.

    The following summarizes significant financing and refinancing transactions completed in 2000:

    Secured Indebtedness.  During 2000, we refinanced approximately $1.1 billion of mortgage indebtedness on twelve of the Properties. Our share of the refinanced debt is approximately $556 million. The weighted average maturity of the indebtedness increased from approximately 0.6 years to 6.7 years, while the weighted average interest rates increased from approximately 7.77% to 7.84%.

    Credit Facility.  During 2000 the maximum and average amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility were $830 million and $715 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 7.34% for 2000.

    Unsecured Notes.  On March 24, 2000, we refinanced $450.0 million of unsecured debt, which became due and bore interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The new facility matures March 24, 2001 and also bears interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points. In addition, during September 2000, we refinanced $500.0 million of unsecured debt, which became due and bore interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points, with a new $475.0 million facility and borrowings from the Credit Facility. The new $475.0 million facility matures September 2001 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points.

    On January 11, 2001, we issued $500.0 million of unsecured debt to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A in two tranches. The first tranche is $300.0 million bearing an interest rate of 73/8% due January 20, 2006 and the second tranche is $200.0 million bearing an interest rate of 73/4% due January 20, 2011. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay the remaining portion of the indebtedness under the Merger Facility due March 24, 2001 and to repay a portion of the Merger Facility due September 24, 2001.

    We continue to review and evaluate a limited number of individual property and portfolio acquisition opportunities. However, due to the rapid consolidation of the regional mall business and the current status of the capital markets, we believe that acquisition activity in the near term will be a less significant component of our growth strategy. We believe funds on hand, and amounts available under the Credit Facility, together with the ability to issue Units, provide the means to finance certain acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to, or will not elect to, even if not required to, obtain funds from outside sources, including through the sale of debt or equity securities, to finance significant acquisitions, if any.

    See Note 5 to the financial statements for 1999 and 1998 acquisition activity.

    Disposals.  During 2000, we sold our interests in two regional malls, four community shopping centers and an office building for a total of approximately $142.6 million, including the buyer's assumption of approximately $25.9 million of mortgage debt, which resulted in a net gain of

43


$19.7 million. The net proceeds of $114.6 million were used to reduce the outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility, to repurchase Paired Shares and Units and for general corporate purposes.

    In addition, on July 31, 2000, we sold our 1,408,450 shares of common stock of Chelsea Property Group, Inc. for $50.0 million, which equaled our original investment. No gain or loss was recognized on the transaction. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

    In addition to the Property sales described above, as a continuing part of our long-term strategic plan, we continue to pursue the sale of our remaining non-retail holdings and a number of retail assets that are no longer aligned with our strategic criteria. We expect the sale prices of any non-core assets, if sold, will not differ materially from the carrying value of the related assets.

    New Developments.  Development activities are an ongoing part of our business. During 2000, we opened two new Properties aggregating approximately 1.7 million square feet of GLA. In total, we invested approximately $179.6 million on new developments in 2000. With fewer new developments currently under construction, we expect 2001 development costs to be approximately $76.2 million.

    Strategic Expansions and Renovations.  One of our key objectives is to increase the profitability and market share of the Properties through the completion of strategic renovations and expansions. During 2000, we invested approximately $201.6 million on redevelopment projects and completed five major redevelopment projects, which added approximately 1.2 million square feet of GLA to the Portfolio. We have a number of renovation and/or expansion projects currently under construction, or in preconstruction development and expect to invest approximately $121.0 million on redevelopment in 2001.

    International Expansion.  The SPG Operating Partnership and the Management Company have a 29% ownership interest in European Retail Enterprises, B.V. ("ERE") and Groupe BEG, S.A. ("BEG"), respectively, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. BEG and ERE are fully integrated European retail real estate developers, lessors and managers. Our total cash investment in ERE and BEG at December 31, 2000 was approximately $45.8 million, with commitments for an additional $16.6 million, subject to certain performance and other criteria, including our approval of development projects. The agreements with BEG and ERE are structured to allow us to acquire an additional 25% ownership interest over time. As of December 31, 2000, BEG and ERE had three Properties open in Poland and two in France.

    Technology Initiatives.  We continue to evolve our technology initiatives through our association with several third party participants. Through MerchantWired LLC, we are creating, along with all the other leading retail real estate developers, a full service retail infrastructure company that provides retailers across the country access to a high speed, highly reliable and secure broadband network. We own an approximately 53% noncontrolling interest in MerchantWired LLC and account for it using the equity method of accounting. In addition, in 2000 we joined with other leading real estate companies across a broad range of property sectors to form Constellation Real Technologies, which is designed to form, incubate and sponsor real estate-related Internet, e-commerce and technology enterprises; acquire interests in existing "best of breed" companies; and act as a consolidator of real estate technology across property sectors. In September, Constellation announced its initial investment of $25.0 million in FacilityPro.com, a business-to-business electronic marketplace designed for the efficient procurement of facilities' products and services. Our share of this investment is $2.5 million.

    These new activities may generate losses in the initial years of operation, while programs are being developed and customer bases are being established. We have investments totaling approximately $28.9 million related to such programs through December 31, 2000. We expect to continue to invest in these programs over the next two years and together with the other members of MerchantWired, LLC

44


have guaranteed our pro rata share of equipment lease payments up to $46.0 million. There is no assurance that our technology programs will succeed.

    We declared distributions in 2000 aggregating $2.02 per Unit. On February 6, 2001, we declared a distribution of $0.5050 per Unit payable on February 28, 2001, to Unitholders of record on February 16, 2001. The current annual distribution rate is $2.02 per Unit. Future distributions will be determined based on actual results of operations and cash available for distribution.

    Pursuant to a stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors of SPG, on August 8, 2000, we purchased 1,596,100 Paired Shares at an average price of $25.00 per Paired Share. The purchase is part of a plan announced by management earlier in the year to make opportunistic repurchases of Paired Shares during 2000 funded solely by a portion of the net proceeds realized from sales of our non-core assets.

    During 2000, 478,454 limited partner units were purchased for approximately $11.1 million.

    Cash used in investing activities during 2000 includes capital expenditures of $409.7 million, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $161.6 million consisting primarily of development funding, $1.3 million in acquisition costs, $19.6 million of funding through the note receivable from the SRC Operating Partnership primarily for technology initiatives, and $20.3 million of investments in and advances to the Management Company. Capital expenditures include development costs of $61.5 million, renovation and expansion costs of approximately $233.3 million and tenant costs, and other operational capital expenditures of approximately $114.9 million. These uses of cash are partially offset by distributions from unconsolidated entities of $360.3 million; net proceeds of $114.6 million from the sales of our interests in two regional malls, four community shopping centers and an office building; and net proceeds of $50.0 million from the sale of stock held as an investment. Distributions from unconsolidated entities includes approximately $277.1 million resulting from financing activities, with the remainder resulting primarily from those entities' operating activities.

    Cash used in financing activities during 2000 includes net equity distributions of $554.6 million, $50.8 million to purchase treasury stock and limited partner units, and net debt proceeds of $48.5 million.

45


    Inflation has remained relatively low during the past four years and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of the Properties. Nonetheless, substantially all of the tenants' leases contain provisions designed to lessen the impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses enabling us 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 us to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rentals if rents of the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate. Substantially all of the leases, other than those for anchors, require the tenants to pay a proportionate share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

    However, inflation may have a negative impact on some of our other operating items. Interest and general and administrative expenses may be adversely affected by inflation as these specified costs could increase at a rate higher than rents. Also, for tenant leases with stated rent increases, inflation may have a negative effect as the stated rent increases in these leases could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.

    The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the fourth quarter during the holiday season, when tenant occupancy and retail sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve most of their temporary tenant rents during the holiday season. As a result of the above, our earnings are generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.

    A number of local, regional, and national retailers, including both in-line and anchor tenants, have recently announced store closings or filed for bankruptcy. Some changeover in tenants is normal in our business. We lost 800,000 square feet of tenants in 2000 to bankruptcies or restructurings. Pressures which affect consumer confidence, job growth, energy costs and income gains, however, can affect retail sales growth and a continuing soft economic cycle may impact our ability to retenant property vacancies resulting from these store closings or bankruptcies.

    The geographical diversity of our portfolio mitigates some of our risk in the event of an economic downturn. In addition, the diversity of our tenant mix also is a factor because no single retailer represents more than 2.0% of total GLA or more than 3.5% of our annualized base minimum rent. Bankruptcies and store closings may, in some circumstances, create opportunities for us to release spaces at higher rents to tenants with enhanced sales performance. Our previously demonstrated ability to successfully retenant anchor and in line store locations reflects our resilience to fluctuations in economic cycles. While these factors reflect some of the inherent strengths of our portfolio in a difficult retail environment, successful execution of a releasing strategy is not assured.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Simon Property Group, Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Simon Property Group, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Simon Property Group, L.P. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 consolidated financial position of Simon Property Group, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

    As explained in Note 15 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2000, Simon Property Group, L.P. adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, which addressed certain revenue recognition policies, including the accounting for overage rent by a landlord.

SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per Unit amounts and where indicated as in billions)

1. Organization

    Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, is a majority owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation. SPG is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each share of common stock of SPG is paired ("Paired Shares") with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a share of common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., also a Delaware corporation ("SRC" and together with SPG, the "Companies"). Units of ownership interest ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are paired ("Paired Units") with a Unit in SPG Realty Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership" and together with the SPG Operating Partnership, the "Operating Partnerships"). The SRC Operating Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC.

    The SPG Operating Partnership is engaged primarily in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, expansion and development of real estate properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 2000, the SPG Operating Partnership owned or held an interest in 251 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 164 regional malls, 73 community shopping centers, five specialty retail centers, four office and mixed-use properties and five value-oriented super-regional malls in 36 states (the "Properties") and five additional retail real estate properties operating in Europe. SPG and the SPG Operating Partnership also owned an interest in two properties currently under construction and 11 parcels of land held for future development, which together with the Properties are hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio Properties". The SPG Operating Partnership also holds substantially all of the economic interest in M.S. Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management Company"). See Note 8 for a description of the activities of the Management Company.

    The Companies have recently formed Simon Brand Ventures, LLC ("SBV"), a business to consumer initiative, and Simon Brand Network ("SBN"), a business-to-business initiative, to continue to expand upon certain mall marketing initiatives to take advantage of the SPG Operating Partnership's size and tenant relationships, through strategic corporate alliances. Beginning in 2000, certain SBV income, previously included in Management Company's results of operations, was included in SRC's results of operations. SBV is focused on leveraging the SPG Operating Partnership's 100 million unique shoppers and their 2 billion annual shopping visits to contribute to the SPG Operating Partnership's second-curve revenue strategy. The SBV concept and initiatives were started in 1997 to create a new medium for connecting consumers with retailers and sponsors by developing a combination of shopping, entertainment and community. SBN is focused on leveraging the SPG Operating Partnership's assets to create new businesses which will drive greater value to its Portfolio Properties, retailers and other developers and generate new sources of revenue for the SPG Operating Partnership. SBN's strategy is to provide a competitively valued, broad based offering of products and services via a unique and dominant business-to-business marketplace and service network focused on the real estate industry and their tenants. Effective January 1, 2001, ownership of SBV transferred from SRC to the SPG Operating Partnership.

    The SPG Operating Partnership is subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation of commercial real estate. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, trends in the retail industry, creditworthiness of tenants, competition for tenants and customers, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, the availability of financing, and potential liability under environmental and other laws. Like most retail properties, the SPG Operating

56


Partnership's regional malls and community shopping centers rely heavily upon anchor tenants. As of December 31, 2000, 333 of the approximately 975 anchor stores in the Properties were occupied by three retailers. An affiliate of one of these retailers is a limited partner in the Operating Partnerships.

2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts of all entities owned or controlled by the SPG Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements reflect the CPI Merger (see Note 4) as of the close of business on September 24, 1998.

    Properties which are wholly-owned or owned less than 100% and are controlled by the SPG Operating Partnership are accounted for using the consolidation method of accounting. Control is demonstrated by the ability of the general partner to manage day-to-day operations, refinance debt and sell the assets of the partnership without the consent of the limited partner and the inability of the limited partner to replace the general partner. The deficit minority interest balance in the accompanying balance sheets represents outside partners' interests in the net equity of certain Properties. Deficit minority interests were recorded when a partnership agreement provided for the settlement of deficit capital accounts before distributing the proceeds from the sale of partnership assets and/or from the intent (legal or otherwise) and ability of the partner to fund additional capital contributions. Investments in partnerships and joint ventures which represent noncontrolling ownership interests ("Joint Venture Properties") and the investment in the Management Company (see Note 8) are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for net equity in income (loss), which is allocated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable partnership or joint venture agreement, and cash contributions and distributions. The allocation provisions in the partnership or joint venture agreements are not always consistent with the ownership interests held by each general or limited partner or joint venturer, primarily due to partner preferences.

    Net operating results of the SPG Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred distributions (see Note 11), based on its partners' weighted average ownership interests during the period. SPG's weighted average direct and indirect ownership interest in the SPG Operating Partnership during 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 72.4%, 72.3% and 66.2%, respectively. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, SPG's direct and indirect ownership interest in the SPG Operating Partnership was 72.4%.

3. NED Acquisition

    During 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired ownership interests in 14 regional malls from New England Development Company (the "NED Acquisition"). The SPG Operating Partnership acquired one of the Properties directly and formed a joint venture with three partners ("Mayflower"), of which the SPG Operating Partnership owns a noncontrolling 49.1%, to acquire interests in the remaining Properties. The total cost of the NED Acquisition is approximately $1.8 billion, of which the SPG Operating Partnership's share is approximately $894 million. The SPG Operating Partnership assumed management responsibilities for the portfolio, which includes approximately 10.7 million square feet of GLA. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of the cost of the NED Acquisition included the assumption of approximately $530,000 of mortgage indebtedness; $177,050 in cash; the issuance of 1,269,446 Paired Units valued at approximately $36,400; the issuance of 2,584,227 7% Convertible Preferred Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued at approximately $72,800; and 2,584,227 8% Redeemable Preferred Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued at approximately $78,000. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of the cash portion of the purchase price was financed primarily using the Credit Facility (see Note 9).

57


    In connection with the NED Acquisition, SPG borrowed $92.8 million from the SPG Operating Partnership at 7.8% interest with a maturity of December 2009. SPG used the proceeds to purchase a noncontrolling 88% interest in one of the NED Properties. SPG contributed its interest in such Property to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for 3,617,070 Paired Units. The SPG Operating Partnership then contributed its interest in such Property to Mayflower in exchange for an ownership interest in Mayflower. The note receivable from SPG is recorded as a reduction of partners' equity.

4. CPI Merger

    As of the close of business on September 24, 1998, the CPI Merger was consummated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 18, 1998, among Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc., Corporate Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI"), and Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc. ("CRC"). The CPI Merger included the addition of 23 regional malls, one community center, two office buildings and one regional mall and one community center under construction.

    The aggregate value associated with the completion of the CPI Merger was approximately $5.9 billion, including transaction costs and liabilities assumed, in accordance with the purchase method of accounting and has been allocated to the estimated fair value of the CPI assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulted in goodwill of $41,021, as adjusted. Goodwill is amortized over the estimated life of the properties of 35 years.

    In connection with the CPI Merger, CPI was renamed "Simon Property Group, Inc." CPI's paired-share affiliate, Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc., was renamed "SPG Realty Consultants, Inc." In addition, Simon DeBartolo Group ("SDG") and Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. ("SDG, LP") were renamed "SPG Properties, Inc.", and "Simon Property Group, L.P.", respectively.

    Upon completion of the CPI Merger, SPG transferred substantially all of the CPI assets acquired (other than one regional mall, Ocean County Mall, and certain net leased properties valued at approximately $153,100) to the SPG Operating Partnership or one or more subsidiaries of the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for 47,790,550 Units and 5,053,580 preferred Units in the SPG Operating Partnership.

    SDG, LP contributed cash to CRC and the SRC Operating Partnership on behalf of the SDG common stockholders and the limited partners of SDG, LP to obtain the beneficial interests in common stock of CRC, which were paired with the shares of common stock issued by SPG, and to obtain Units in the SRC Operating Partnership so that the limited partners of the SPG Operating Partnership would hold the same proportionate interest in the SRC Operating Partnership that they hold in the SPG Operating Partnership. The cash contributed to CRC and the SRC Operating Partnership in exchange for an ownership interest therein have been appropriately accounted for as capital infusion or equity transactions. The assets and liabilities of CRC are reflected at historical cost.

    The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information excludes any extraordinary items and reflects the consolidated results of operations of the SPG Operating Partnership as if the CPI Merger had occurred on January 1, 1998, and was carried forward through December 31, 1998. Preparation of the pro forma summary information was based upon assumptions deemed appropriate by management. The pro forma summary information is not necessarily indicative of the results which

actually would have occurred if the CPI Merger had been consummated on January 1, 1998, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

5. Other Real Estate Acquisitions and Disposals

    During 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired the remaining interests in four Properties, and a noncontrolling 27.5% ownership interest in the 2.8 million square-foot Mall of America for a combined price of approximately $317,850, including the assumption of $134,300 of mortgage indebtedness, 1,000,000 shares of 8% Redeemable Preferred Stock in SPG issued at $24,242, and the remainder in cash, financed primarily through the Credit Facility and working capital. The SPG Operating Partnership is entitled to 50% of the economic benefits of Mall of America, due to a preference.

    On February 27, 1998, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired a noncontrolling 50% joint venture interest in a portfolio of twelve regional malls and two community centers (the "IBM Properties") comprising approximately 10.7 million square feet of GLA. The SPG Operating Partnership's $487,250 share of the purchase price included the assumption of indebtedness of $242,500. The SPG Operating Partnership also assumed leasing and management responsibilities for six of the regional malls and one community center. The SPG Operating Partnership funded its share of the cash portion of the purchase price using borrowings from an interim $300,000 unsecured revolving credit facility, which was subsequently retired using borrowings from the Credit Facility.

    During 1998, the SPG Operating Partnership acquired 100% of one Property, a 90% interest in another Property and additional interests in a total of six Properties for approximately $199,200, including the assumption of $62,100 of indebtedness and 2,864,088 Units valued at approximately $93,500, with the remainder in cash financed primarily through the Credit Facility and working capital. These transactions resulted in the addition of approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA to the portfolio.

59


    During 2000, 1999 and 1998, the SPG Operating Partnership sold ownership interests in seven, two and five properties, respectively, at a combined gross sale price of $142,575, $46,750 and $120,000, respectively. These sales generated net combined consolidated gains (losses) of $19,704, ($1,942) and ($7,283) in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The SPG Operating Partnership is continuing to pursue the sale of its remaining non-retail holdings, along with a number of retail assets that are no longer aligned with the SPG Operating Partnership's strategic criteria. If these assets are sold, management expects the sale prices will not differ materially from the carrying value of the related assets.

6. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Investment Properties are recorded at cost (predecessor cost for Properties acquired from certain of the SPG Operating Partnership's unitholders). Investment Properties for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a Property-by-Property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment Properties may not be recoverable. Impairment of investment Properties is recognized when estimated undiscounted operating income is less than the carrying value of the Property. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the excess of carrying value of the Property over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

    Investment Properties include costs of acquisitions, development and predevelopment, construction, tenant allowances and improvements, interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction, certain capitalized improvements and replacements, and certain allocated overhead. Depreciation on buildings and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated original useful life, which is generally 35 years or the term of the applicable tenant's lease in the case of tenant inducements. Depreciation on tenant allowances and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease.

    Certain improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred.

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which 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 revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

    Interest is capitalized on projects during periods of construction. Interest capitalized during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $18,210, $19,641 and $10,567, respectively.

    The SPG Operating Partnership's interests in its regional malls, community centers and other assets represent one segment as they have similar economic and environmental conditions, business processes, types of customers (i.e. tenants) and services provided, and because resource allocation and other operating decisions are based on an evaluation of the entire portfolio.

60


    Investments in securities classified as available for sale are reflected in other investments in the balance sheets at market value with the changes in market value reflected as comprehensive income in partners' equity. These investments were sold in 2000.

    Deferred costs consist primarily of financing fees incurred to obtain long-term financing, costs of interest rate protection agreements, and internal and external leasing commissions and related costs. Deferred financing costs, including interest rate protection agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loans or agreements. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred costs of $138,396 and $137,133 are net of accumulated amortization of $148,967 and $121,468 as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    Interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations includes amortization of deferred financing costs of $15,798, $17,535, and $11,835, for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and has been reduced by amortization of debt premiums and discounts of $5,391, $5,707 and $1,465 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    The SPG Operating Partnership, as a lessor, has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment Properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Minimum rents are accrued on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective leases. Certain tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. Beginning January 1, 2000, the Companies recognize overage rents only when each tenant's sales exceeds its sales threshold. Previously, overage rents were recognized as revenues based on reported and estimated sales for each tenant through December 31, less the applicable base sales amount. Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recognized in the subsequent year. See Note 15 for description and impact of the accounting change.

    Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.

    A provision for credit losses is recorded based on management's judgment of tenant creditworthiness. The activity in the allowance for credit losses during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was as follows:

December 31, 1998   $ 13,804   $ 6,599   $ (5,927 ) $ 14,476
   
 
 
 

    As a partnership, the allocated share of income or loss for each year is included in the income tax returns of the partners, accordingly, no accounting for income taxes is required in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. State and local taxes are not material.

    Basic earnings per Unit is based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period and diluted earnings per Unit is based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average units that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential Units would have been converted into Units at the earliest date possible. The following table sets forth the computation for the SPG Operating Partnership's basic and diluted earnings per Unit.

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding—Diluted     236,635,072     232,706,031     189,439,534
   
 
 

    Basic and diluted earnings per Unit is presented in the financial statements based upon the weighted average number of Units outstanding of the SPG Operating Partnership, giving effect to the CPI Merger as of the close of business on September 24, 1998. Management believes this presentation provides the Unitholders with the most meaningful presentation of earnings for a single interest in the SPG Operating Partnership.

    Preferred Units issued and outstanding during the comparative periods did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per Unit. Paired Units held by limited partners in the Operating Partnerships may be exchanged for Paired Shares, on a one-for-one basis in certain circumstances. If exchanged, the Paired Units would not have a dilutive effect. The increase in weighted average Units outstanding under the diluted method over the basic method in every period presented for the SPG Operating Partnership is due entirely to the effect of outstanding stock options.

    The SPG Operating Partnership accrues distributions when they are declared. SPG declared distributions in 2000 and 1999 aggregating $2.02 per share of common stock, of which $0.94 and $1.07 represented a return of capital measured using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. On a federal income tax basis, 49% of SPG's 2000 distribution represented a capital gain, 11% represented a return of capital, and 4% represented unrecaptured Section 1250 gain. In 1999, 10% of SPG's 1999 distribution represented a capital gain and 38% represented a return of capital.

    All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value. Cash equivalents generally consist of commercial paper, bankers acceptances, Eurodollars, repurchase agreements and Dutch auction securities.

    Accrued and unpaid distributions were $18,266 and $876 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Please refer to Notes 3, 4, 5 and 11 for additional discussion of noncash transactions.

    As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the unamortized excess of the SPG Operating Partnership's investment over its share of the equity in the underlying net assets of the partnerships and joint ventures acquired ("Excess Investment") was $558,675 and $592,457, respectively, which is amortized over the life of the related Properties. Amortization included in income from unconsolidated entities for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $20,972, $27,252 and $22,625, respectively. Included in the 1999 amortization is a $5,000 writedown on a joint venture investment.

    The SPG Operating Partnership holds 80% of the outstanding common stock, 5% of the outstanding voting common stock, and all of the 8% cumulative preferred stock of the Management Company. The remaining 20% of the outstanding common stock of the Management Company (representing 95% of the voting common stock) is owned directly by certain Simon family members. Because the SPG Operating Partnership exercises significant influence but not control over the financial and operating policies of the Management Company, it is reflected in the accompanying statements using the equity method of accounting. The Management Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, provides management, leasing, development, project management, accounting, legal, marketing and management information systems services and property damage and general liability insurance coverage to certain Portfolio Properties. The SPG Operating Partnership incurred costs of $79,357, $75,697 and $58,748 on consolidated Properties, related to services provided by the Management Company and its affiliates in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Management Company also provides certain of such services to Melvin Simon & Associates, Inc. ("MSA"), and certain other nonowned properties for a fee. Fees for services provided by the Management Company to MSA were $4,246, $3,853 and $3,301 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    The SPG Operating Partnership manages substantially all wholly-owned and joint venture Properties except for 44 Properties of which 29 are managed by the Management Company, and, accordingly, it reimburses a subsidiary of the Management Company for costs incurred relating to the management of such Properties. Substantially all employees of the SPG Operating Partnership (other than direct field personnel) are employed by such Management Company subsidiary. The Management Company records costs net of amounts reimbursed by the SPG Operating Partnership. Common costs are allocated using assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of allocated common costs was $60,874, $54,759 and $35,341 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, amounts due from the Management Company for unpaid accrued interest and unpaid accrued preferred dividends were not material to the financial statements or to those of the SPG Operating Partnership. Amounts due to the Management Company under cost-sharing arrangements and management contracts are included in notes and advances receivable from Management Company and affiliates.

    The SPG Operating Partnership's net investment in the Management Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $32,936 and $6,833, respectively. Summarized consolidated financial information of

European Investment

    The SPG Operating Partnership and the Management Company have a 29% ownership interest in European Retail Enterprises, B.V. ("ERE") and Groupe BEG, S.A. ("BEG"), respectively, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. BEG and ERE are fully integrated European retail real estate developers, lessors and managers. The SPG Operating Partnership's total cash investment in ERE and BEG at December 31, 2000 was approximately $45.8 million, with commitments for an additional $16.6 million, subject to certain performance and other criteria, including the SPG Operating Partnership's approval of development projects. The agreements with BEG and ERE are structured to allow the SPG Operating Partnership to acquire an additional 25% ownership interest over time. As of December 31, 2000, BEG and ERE had three properties open in Poland and two in France.

    The translation adjustment resulting from the conversion of BEG and ERE's financial statements from Euros to U.S. dollars was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.

    General.  Certain of the Properties are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized as part of a group of properties. Under certain of the cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage included in the cross-defaulted package may constitute a default under all such mortgages and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each Property within the collateral package. Certain indebtedness is subject to financial performance covenants relating to leverage ratios, annual real property appraisal requirements, debt service coverage ratios, minimum net worth ratios, debt-to-market capitalization, and minimum equity values. Debt premiums and discounts are amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments. Certain mortgages and notes payable may be prepaid but are generally subject to a prepayment of a yield-maintenance premium.

    Mortgages and Other Notes.  Certain of the Properties are pledged as collateral to secure the related mortgage notes. The fixed and variable mortgage notes are nonrecourse; however certain notes have partial guarantees by affiliates of approximately $618,667. The fixed-rate mortgages generally

67


require monthly payments of principal and/or interest. Variable-rate mortgages are typically based on LIBOR.

    Unsecured Notes.  Certain of the SPG Operating Partnership's unsecured notes totaling $825,000 with weighted average interests and maturities of 8.0% and 7.1 years, respectively, are structurally senior in right of payment to holders of other SPG Operating Partnership unsecured notes to the extent of the assets and related cash flows of certain Properties. Certain of the unsecured notes are guaranteed by the SPG Operating Partnership.

    On February 4, 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership completed the sale of $600,000 of senior unsecured notes. These notes include two $300,000 tranches. The first tranche bears interest at 6.75% and matures on February 4, 2004 and the second tranche bears interest at 7.125% and matures on February 4, 2009. The SPG Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of approximately $594,000 to retire the $450,000 initial tranche of the Merger Facility (see below) and to pay $142,000 on the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility (see below).

    Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility is a $1,250,000 unsecured revolving credit facility. During 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership obtained a three-year extension on the Credit Facility to August of 2002, with an additional one-year extension available at the SPG Operating Partnership's option. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points, with an additional 15 basis point facility fee on the entire $1,250,000. The maximum and average amounts outstanding during 2000 under the Credit Facility were $830,000 and $714,645, respectively. The Credit Facility is primarily used for funding acquisition, renovation and expansion and predevelopment opportunities. At December 31, 2000, the Credit Facility had an effective interest rate of 7.30%, with $598,519 available after outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants relating to a capitalization value, minimum EBITDA and unencumbered EBITDA ratios and minimum equity values.

    The Merger Facility.  In conjunction with the CPI Merger, the SPG Operating Partnership and SPG, as co-borrowers, closed a $1,400,000 medium term unsecured bridge loan (the "Merger Facility"). The Merger Facility bears interest at a base rate of LIBOR plus 65 basis points and $450,000 of the remaining balance will mature on March 24, 2001, with the remaining $475,000 due on September 24, 2001. The Merger Facility is subject to covenants and conditions substantially identical to those of the Credit Facility. Financing costs of $9,707, which were incurred to obtain the Merger Facility, were amortized over 18 months.

    Subsequent Event.  On January 11, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership issued $500,000 of unsecured debt to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A in two tranches. The first tranche is $300,000 bearing an interest rate of 73/8% due January 20, 2006 and the second tranche is $200,000 bearing an interest rate of 73/4% due January 20, 2011. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay the remaining portion of the indebtedness under the Merger Facility due March 24, 2001 and to repay a portion of the Merger Facility due September 24, 2001.

    Simon ERE Facility.  On July 31, 2000 Simon ERE Loan, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the SPG Operating Partnership, entered into a Euro-denominated unsecured Credit Agreement, to fund the SPG Operating Partnership's European investment, consisting of a 25 million Euros term loan and a 35 million Euros revolving credit facility. The interest rate for each loan is Euribor plus 0.60% with a facility fee of 0.15%. The interest rate on 30 million Euros is swapped at 7.75%. The maturity date is July 31, 2004 including a one year extension. These loans are guaranteed by the SPG Operating Partnership.

    As of December 31, 2000, scheduled principal repayments on indebtedness were as follows:

2001   $ 1,164,354  
2002     779,381  
2003     1,841,814  
2004     1,490,759  
2005     816,058  
Thereafter     2,637,787  
   
 
Total principal maturities     8,730,153  
Net unamortized debt discounts     (1,571 )
   
 
Total mortgages and other notes payable   $ 8,728,582  
   
 

    The Joint Venture Properties have $5,135,488 and $4,484,598 of mortgages and other notes payable at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of this debt was $2,166,788 and $1,876,158 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This debt, including premiums of $17,158 in 2000, becomes due in installments over various terms extending through 2011, with interest rates ranging from 6.00% to 9.75% (weighted average rate of 7.61% at December 31, 2000). The debt, excluding the $17,158 of premiums, matures $290,162 in 2001; $310,214 in 2002; $688,679 in 2003; $448,445 in 2004; $915,286 in 2005 and $2,465,544 thereafter.

    Cash paid for interest, net of any amounts capitalized, during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $646,184, $566,156 and $397,545, respectively.

    The SPG Operating Partnership has entered into interest rate protection agreements, in the form of "cap" or "swap" arrangements, with respect to certain of its variable-rate mortgages and other notes payable. Swap arrangements, which effectively fix the SPG Operating Partnership's interest rate on the respective borrowings, have been entered into for $213,200 principal amount of consolidated debt. Cap arrangements, which effectively limit the amount by which variable interest rates may rise, have been entered into for $191,000 principal amount of consolidated debt and cap LIBOR at rates ranging from 7.4% to 16.77% through the related debt's maturity. Costs of the caps ($403) are amortized over the life of the agreements. The unamortized balance of the cap arrangements was $248 and $187 as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The SPG Operating Partnership's hedging activity as a result of interest swaps and caps resulted in net interest (expense) savings of $316, ($1,880) and $263 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This did not materially impact the SPG Operating Partnership's weighted average borrowing rate. Please refer to Note 15.

    The carrying value of variable-rate mortgages and other loans represents their fair values. The fair value of fixed-rate mortgages and other notes payable was approximately $6,453,165 and $5,649,467 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate protection agreements at December 31, 2000 and 1999, was ($296) and $6,600, respectively. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the estimated discount rates were 7.17% and 8.06%, respectively. The fair values of fixed-rate mortgages and other notes payable and interest rate protection agreements are estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates and at current market rates, respectively.

10. Rentals under Operating Leases

    The SPG Operating Partnership receives rental income from the leasing of retail and mixed-use space under operating leases. Future minimum rentals to be received under noncancelable operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses and percentage rent based on tenant sales volume, as of December 31, 2000, are as follows:

2001   $ 1,001,418
2002     945,164
2003     868,334
2004     773,741
2005     681,742
Thereafter     2,433,738
   
    $ 6,704,137
   

    Approximately 1.5% of future minimum rents to be received are attributable to leases with an affiliate of a limited partner in the SPG Operating Partnership.

11. Partners' Equity

    As described in Note 3, as part of the consideration paid for the NED Acquisition, the SPG Operating Partnership issued 1,269,446 Paired Units valued at approximately $36,400; 2,584,227 7% Convertible Preferred Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued at approximately $72,800; and 2,584,227 8% Redeemable Preferred Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued at approximately $78,000. In addition, as part of the NED Acquisition, the SPG Operating Partnership issued 3,617,070 Paired Units to SPG in exchange for a note receivable, which is recorded as a reduction of partners' equity.

    During 1998, SPG issued 2,957,335 shares of its common stock in offerings generating combined net proceeds of approximately $91,399. The net proceeds were contributed to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for a like number of Units. The SPG Operating Partnership used the net proceeds for general working capital purposes.

    On January 27, 2000, SD Property Group, Inc., a substantially wholly-owned subsidiary of SPG Properties, merged with and into SPG Properties.

    Series A Convertible Preferred Units.  During 2000, 2,212 units of SPG's Series A Convertible Preferred Units were converted into 84,046 Paired Units. In addition, another 1,242 Paired Units were issued to the holders of the converted units in lieu of the cash dividends allocable to those preferred units. During 1999, 155,978 Series A Convertible Preferred Units were converted into 5,926,440 Paired Units. In addition, another 153,890 Paired Units were issued to the holders of the converted units in lieu of the cash dividends allocable to those preferred units. Each of the Series A Convertible Preferred Units has a liquidation preference of $1,000 and is convertible into 37.995 Paired Units, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Series A Convertible Preferred Units are not redeemable, except as needed to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of the capital stock of SPG into conformity with REIT requirements.

    Series B Convertible Preferred Units.  During 2000, 14,274 units of SPG's Series B Convertible Preferred Units were converted into 36,913 Paired Units. Each of the Series B Convertible Preferred Units has a liquidation preference of $100 and is convertible into 2.586 Paired Units, subject to adjustment under circumstances identical to those of the Series A Preferred Units. SPG may redeem the Series B Preferred Units on or after September 24, 2003 at a price beginning at 105% of the liquidation preference plus accrued dividends and declining to 100% of the liquidation preference plus accrued dividends any time on or after September 24, 2008.

    Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units.  SPG Properties, Inc. ("SPG Properties"), a general partner of the SPG Operating Partnership, has outstanding 8,000,000 shares of 8.75% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which it may redeem any time on or after September 29, 2006, at a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The liquidation value (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of SPG Properties, which may include other series of

71


preferred shares. SPG Properties holds preferred units in the SPG Operating Partnership with economic terms substantially identical to those of the Series B Preferred Stock.

    Series C Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Units.  SPG Properties, Inc. also has outstanding 3,000,000 shares of its 7.89% Series C Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Shares") with a liquidation value of $50.00 per share. Beginning October 1, 2012, the rate increases to 9.89% per annum. Management intends to redeem the Series C Preferred Shares prior to October 1, 2012. Beginning September 30, 2007, SPG Properties, Inc. may redeem the Series C Preferred Shares in whole or in part, using only the sale proceeds of other capital stock of SPG Properties, Inc., at a liquidation value of $50.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, thereon. Additionally, the Series C Preferred Shares have no stated maturity and are not subject to any mandatory redemption provisions, nor are they convertible into any other securities of SPG Properties, Inc. SPG Properties holds preferred units in the SPG Operating Partnership with economic terms substantially identical to those of the Series B Preferred Stock.

    Series C and D Preferred Units.  In connection with the NED Acquisition, the SPG Operating Partnership issued two new series of preferred Units during 1999 as a component of the consideration for the Properties acquired. The SPG Operating Partnership authorized 2,700,000, and issued 2,584,227, 7.00% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (the "7.00% Preferred Units") having a liquidation value of $28.00 per Unit. The 7.00% Preferred Units accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of $1.96 annually, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The 7.00% Preferred Units are convertible at the holders' option on or after August 27, 2004, into either a like number of shares of 7.00% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of SPG with terms substantially identical to the 7.00% Preferred Units or Paired Units at a ratio of 0.75676 to one provided that the closing stock price of SPG's Paired Shares exceeds $37.00 for any three consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. The SPG Operating Partnership may redeem the 7.00% Preferred Units at their liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid distributions on or after August 27, 2009, payable in Paired Units. In the event of the death of a holder of the 7.00% Preferred Units, or the occurrence of certain tax triggering events applicable to a holder, the SPG Operating Partnership may be required to redeem the 7.00% Preferred Units at liquidation value payable at the option of the SPG Operating Partnership in either cash (the payment of which may be made in four equal annual installments) or Paired Shares.

    The SPG Operating Partnership also authorized 2,700,000, and issued 2,584,227, 8.00% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the "8.00% Preferred Units") having a liquidation value of $30.00. The 8.00% Preferred Units accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of $2.40 annually, which is payable quarterly in arrears. The 8.00% Preferred Units are each paired with one 7.00% Preferred Unit or with the Paired Units into which the 7.00% Preferred Units may be converted. The SPG Operating Partnership may redeem the 8.00% Preferred Units at their liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid distributions on or after August 27, 2009, payable in either new preferred units of the SPG Operating Partnership having the same terms as the 8.00% Preferred Units, except that the distribution coupon rate would be reset to a then determined market rate, or in Paired Units. The 8.00% Preferred Units are convertible at the holders' option on or after August 27, 2004, into 8.00% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of SPG with terms substantially identical to the 8.00% Preferred Units. In the event of the death of a holder of the 8.00% Preferred Units, or the occurrence of certain tax triggering events applicable to a holder, the SPG Operating Partnership may be required to redeem the 8.00% Preferred Units owned by such holder at their liquidation value payable at the option of the SPG Operating Partnership in either cash (the payment of which may be made in four equal annual installments) or Paired Shares.

    Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units.  As part of the consideration for the purchase of ownership in Mall of America, SPG issued 1,000,000 shares of Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for $24,242. The Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemable

72


beginning August 27, 2004 at the liquidation value of $25 per share. SPG contributed the interest in Mall of America to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for cash and the preferred units with economic terms identical to the Series E Preferred Stock.

    Notes receivable of $19,667 from former CPI shareholders, which result from securities issued under CPI's executive compensation program and were assumed in the CPI Merger, are reflected as a deduction from capital in excess of par value in the statements of Partners' equity in the accompanying financial statements. Certain of such notes totaling $2,018 bear interest at rates ranging from 6.00% to 7.50% and become due during the period 2001 to 2002. The remainder of the notes do not bear interest and become due at the time the underlying Units are sold.

    The SPG Operating Partnership and SPG has a stock incentive plan (the "1998 Plan"), which provides for the grant of equity-based awards during a ten-year period, in the form of options to purchase Paired Shares ("Options"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock grants and performance unit awards (collectively, "Awards"). Options may be granted which are qualified as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and Options which are not so qualified. The Companies have reserved for issuance 6,300,000 Paired Shares under the 1998 Plan. Additionally, the partnership agreements require the Companies to sell Paired Shares to the Operating Partnerships, at fair value, sufficient to satisfy the exercising of stock options, and for the Companies to purchase Paired Units for cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Paired Shares.

    Administration.  The 1998 Plan is administered by SPG's Compensation Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee, in its sole discretion, determines which eligible individuals may participate and the type, extent and terms of the Awards to be granted to them. In addition, the Committee interprets the 1998 Plan and makes all other determinations deemed advisable for the administration of the 1998 Plan. Options granted to employees ("Employee Options") become exercisable over the period determined by the Committee. The exercise price of an Employee Option may not be less than the fair market value of the Paired Shares on the date of grant. Employee Options generally vest over a three-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.

    Director Options.  The 1998 Plan provides for automatic grants of Options to directors ("Director Options") of the Companies who are not also employees of the SPG Operating Partnership or its affiliates ("Eligible Directors"). Under the 1998 Plan, each Eligible Director is automatically granted Director Options to purchase 5,000 Paired Shares upon the director's initial election to the Board of Directors, and upon each reelection, an additional 3,000 Director Options multiplied by the number of calendar years that have elapsed since such person's last election to the Board of Directors. The exercise price of the options is equal to the fair market value of the Paired Shares on the date of grant. Director Options become vested and exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant or at such earlier time as a "change in control" of the Companies (as defined in the 1998 Plan). Director Options terminate 30 days after the optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.

    Restricted Stock.  The 1998 Plan also provides for shares of restricted common stock of the Companies to be granted to certain employees at no cost to those employees, subject to growth targets established by the Compensation Committee (the "Restricted Stock Program"). Restricted stock vests annually in four installments of 25% each beginning on January 1 following the year in which the restricted stock is awarded. During 2000, 1999 and 1998, a total of 417,994; 537,861 and 495,131 Paired Shares, respectively, net of forfeitures, were awarded under the Restricted Stock Program and predecessor programs with a weighted average grant price of $22.94, $25.50, and $32.69, respectively. Through December 31, 2000 a total of 2,243,080 Paired Shares, net of forfeitures, were awarded.

73


Approximately $11,770, $10,601 and $9,463 relating to these awards were amortized in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The cost of restricted stock grants, which is based upon the stock's fair market value at the time such stock is earned, awarded and issued, is charged to shareholders' equity and subsequently amortized against earnings of the SPG Operating Partnership over the vesting period.

    The SPG Operating Partnership accounts for stock-based compensation programs using the intrinsic value method, which measures compensation expense as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. During 2000, the SPG Operating Partnership awarded 750,750 additional options to directors and employees. The 24,000 options granted to Directors vest over a twelve-month period, while the remaining 726,750 employee options granted during 2000 vest over three years. The impact on pro forma net income and earnings per share as a result of applying the fair value method, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires entities to measure compensation costs measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, was not material.

    The fair value of the options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 
  December 31,
 
 
  2000
  1999
  1998
 
Weighted Average Fair Value per Option   $1.57   $3.27   $7.24  
Expected Volatility   20.00 - 20.01 % 19.78 - 19.89 % 30.83 - 41.79 %
Risk-Free Interest Rate   6.08 - 6.47 % 5.25 - 5.78 % 4.64 - 5.68 %
Dividend Yield   8.68 - 7.76 % 5.32 - 6.43 % 6.24 - 6.52 %
Expected Life   10 years   10 years   10 years  

    The weighted average remaining contract life for options outstanding as of December 31, 2000 was 6.18 years.

    Limited partners in the Operating Partnerships have the right to exchange all or any portion of their Paired Units for Paired shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis or cash, as selected by the Board of Directors. The amount of cash to be paid if the exchange right is exercised and the cash option is selected will be based on the trading price of the Companies' common stock at that time. The Companies have reserved 64,966,226 Paired Shares for possible issuance upon the exchange of Paired Units.

12. Employee Benefit Plans

    The SPG Operating Partnership maintains a tax-qualified retirement 401(k) savings plan. Under the plan, eligible employees can participate in a cash or deferred arrangement permitting them to defer up to a maximum of 16% of their compensation, subject to certain limitations. Participants' salary deferrals are matched at specified percentages up to a total of 4%, and the plan provides annual contributions of 1.5% of eligible employees' compensation. The SPG Operating Partnership contributed $3,492, $3,189 and $2,581 to the plan in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

    Triple Five of Minnesota, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, v. Melvin Simon, et. al. On or about November 9, 1999, Triple Five of Minnesota, Inc. ("Triple Five") commenced an action in the District

75


Court for the State of Minnesota, Fourth Judicial District, against, among others, Mall of America, certain members of the Simon family and entities allegedly controlled by such individuals, and the SPG Operating Partnership. Two transactions form the basis of the complaint: (i) the sale by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America of one-half of its partnership interest in Mall of America Company and Minntertainment Company to the SPG Operating Partnership and related entities (the "Teachers Sale"); and (ii) a financing transaction involving a loan in the amount of $312,000 obtained from The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") that is secured by a mortgage placed on Mall of America's assets (the "Chase Mortgage").

    The complaint, which contains twelve counts, seeks remedies of damages, rescission, constructive trust, accounting, and specific performance. Although the complaint names all defendants in several counts, the SPG Operating Partnership is specifically identified as a defendant in connection with the Teachers Sale.

    The SPG Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify Chase and other nonparties to the litigation that are related to the offering of certificates secured by the Chase Mortgage against, among other things, (i) any and all litigation expenses arising as a result of litigation or threatened litigation brought by Triple Five, or any of its owners or affiliates, against any person regarding the Chase Mortgage, the Teachers Sale, any securitization of the Chase Mortgage or any transaction related to the foregoing and (ii) any and all damages, awards, penalties or expenses payable to or on behalf of Triple Five (or payable to a third party as a result of such party's obligation to pay Triple Five) arising out of such litigation. These indemnity obligations do not extend to liabilities covered by title insurance.

    The SPG Operating Partnership believes that the Triple Five litigation is without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. The SPG Operating Partnership believes that neither the Triple Five litigation nor any potential payments under the indemnity, if any, will have a material adverse effect on the SPG Operating Partnership. Given the early stage of the litigation it is not possible to provide an assurance of the ultimate outcome of the litigation or an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss, if any.

    Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al.  On October 16, 1996, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Mahoning County, Ohio, captioned Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al. The named defendants are SD Property Group, Inc., an indirect 99%-owned subsidiary of SPG, and DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc., a subsidiary of the Management Company, and the plaintiffs are 27 former employees of the defendants. In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that they were recipients of deferred stock grants under the DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC") Stock Incentive Plan (the "DRC Plan") and that these grants immediately vested under the DRC Plan's "change in control" provision as a result of the DRC Merger. Plaintiffs asserted that the defendants' refusal to issue them approximately 542,000 shares of DRC common stock, which is equivalent to approximately 370,000 Paired Shares computed at the 0.68 exchange ratio used in the DRC Merger, constituted a breach of contract and a breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under Ohio law. Plaintiffs sought damages equal to such number of shares of DRC common stock, or cash in lieu thereof, equal to all deferred stock ever granted to them under the DRC Plan, dividends on such stock from the time of the grants, compensatory damages for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and punitive damages. The plaintiffs and the defendants each filed motions for summary judgment. On October 31, 1997, the Court of Common Pleas entered a judgment in favor of the defendants granting their motion for summary judgment. The plaintiffs appealed this judgment to the Seventh District Court of Appeals in Ohio. On August 18, 1999, the District Court of Appeals reversed the summary judgement order in favor of the defendants entered by the Common Pleas Court and granted plaintiffs' cross motion for summary judgement, remanding the matter to the Common Pleas Court for the determination of plaintiffs' damages. The defendants petitioned the Ohio Supreme Court asking that they exercise their discretion to review and reverse the Appellate Court decision, but the Ohio Supreme court did not grant the petition for review.

76


The case was remanded to the Court of Common Pleas of Mahoning County, Ohio, to conduct discovery relevant to each plaintiff's damages and the counterclaims asserted by the SPG Operating Partnership. The Trial Court referred these matters to a Magistrate. Plaintiffs filed a Supplemental Motion for Summary Judgement on the question of damages. The Magistrate ruled on the counterclaims and found in Defendants' favor on one of them. On December 27, 2000, the Trial Court rendered judgment for the plaintiffs in the combined total amount of $12,000, which includes a set-off of approximately $2,000 with impact to two of the plaintiffs. Defendants have appealed this judgment and plaintiffs have cross-appealed. Those appeals are pending before the District Court of Appeals. The SPG Operating Partnership recorded a $12,000 loss in the third quarter of 1999 related to this litigation as an unusual item.

    Roel Vento et al v. Tom Taylor et al.  An affiliate of the SPG Operating Partnership is a defendant in litigation entitled Roel Vento et al v. Tom Taylor et al., in the District Court of Cameron County, Texas, in which a judgment in the amount of $7,800 was entered against all defendants. This judgment includes approximately $6,500 of punitive damages and is based upon a jury's findings on four separate theories of liability including fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, tortious interference with contract and civil conspiracy arising out of the sale of a business operating under a temporary license agreement at Valle Vista Mall in Harlingen, Texas. The SPG Operating Partnership appealed the verdict and on May 6, 1999, the Thirteenth Judicial District (Corpus Christi) of the Texas Court of Appeals issued an opinion reducing the trial court verdict to $3,364 plus interest. The SPG Operating Partnership filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Texas Supreme Court requesting that they review and reverse the determination of the Appellate Court. The Texas Supreme Court granted certiorari and heard oral arguments on October 4, 2000. A decision is expected to be rendered during the second quarter of 2001. Management, based upon the advice of counsel, believes that the ultimate outcome of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the SPG Operating Partnership.

    The SPG Operating Partnership currently is not subject to any other material litigation other than routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. On the basis of consultation with counsel, management believes that such routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the SPG Operating Partnership's financial position or its results of operations.

    As of December 31, 2000, a total of 34 of the consolidated Properties are subject to ground leases. The termination dates of these ground leases range from 2002 to 2090. These ground leases generally require payments by the SPG Operating Partnership of a fixed annual rent, or a fixed annual rent plus a participating percentage over a base rate. Ground lease expense incurred by the SPG Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, was $13,654, $13,365 and $13,618, respectively.

    Future minimum lease payments due under such ground leases for each of the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter are as follows:

2001   $ 7,845
2002     7,984
2003     7,906
2004     7,439
2005     7,133
Thereafter     489,178
   
    $ 527,485

    On September 30, 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership entered into a five year contract with Enron Energy Services for Enron to supply or manage all of the energy commodity requirements throughout the SPG Operating Partnership's portfolio. The contract includes electricity, natural gas and maintenance of energy conversion assets and electrical systems including lighting. The SPG Operating Partnership has committed to pay Enron a fixed percentage of the Portfolio's historical energy costs for these services over the term of the agreement.

    Nearly all of the Properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits. Such audits have not revealed nor is management aware of any environmental liability that management believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental costs if any or all Properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned.

14. Related Party Transactions

    In preparation for the CPI Merger, on July 31, 1998, CPI, with the assistance of the SPG Operating Partnership, completed the sale of the General Motors Building in New York, New York for approximately $800,000. The SPG Operating Partnership and certain third-party affiliates each received a $2,500 fee from CPI in connection with the sale.

15. New Accounting Pronouncement

    On June 15, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended in June of 2000 by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." These statements, which are effective for the SPG Operating Partnership on January 1, 2001, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. These statements require that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are to be recorded each period in earnings or comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedged transaction, and on the type of hedge transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in other comprehensive income must be reclassified as earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item, and the ineffective portion of all hedges must be recognized in earnings in the current period. These new standards will result in additional volatility in reported assets, liabilities, earnings and other comprehensive income.

    SFAS No. 133 requires that as of the date of initial adoption, the difference between the fair value of the derivative instruments to be recorded on the balance sheet and the previous carrying amount of those derivatives be reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in accordance with APB 20 "Accounting Changes."

    On January 1, 2001, the SPG Operating Partnership recorded the effect of the transition to SFAS No. 133 which resulted in an immaterial impact to the results of operations and the financial position of the SPG Operating Partnership.

    SFAS No. 133 further requires that the fair value and effectiveness of each hedging instrument must be measured quarterly. The result of each measurement could result in fluctuations in reported assets, liabilities, other comprehensive income and earnings as these changes in fair value and effectiveness are recorded to the financial statements. The SPG Operating Partnership anticipates, on

78


an ongoing basis, the fluctuations to the aforementioned areas will be immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

    On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), which addressed certain revenue recognition policies, including the accounting for overage rent by a landlord. SAB 101 requires overage rent to be recognized as revenue only when each tenant's sales exceeds its sales threshold. The SPG Operating Partnership previously recognized overage rent based on reported and estimated sales through the end of the period, less the applicable prorated base sales amount. The SPG Operating Partnership adopted SAB 101 effective January 1, 2000 and recorded a loss from the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2000, which includes the SPG Operating Partnership's $1.8 million share from unconsolidated entities.
