Part I
------

Item 1. Business.

Item 1 (a). General Development of Business.

The Rouse Company ("we", "Rouse" or "us") was incorporated as a
business corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1956.
Our principal offices are located at The Rouse Company Building,
Columbia, Maryland 21044. Our telephone number is (410) 992-6000. We,
through our subsidiaries and affiliates, are engaged in (i) the
ownership, management, acquisition and development of income-producing
and other real estate in the United States, including retail centers,
office and industrial buildings, mixed-use projects and community retail
centers, and (ii) the development and sale of land, primarily in and
around Columbia, Maryland and the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area
for residential, commercial and industrial uses.

We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) pursuant to
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, effective
January 1, 1998. In general, a corporation that distributes at least
90% of its REIT taxable income to shareholders in any taxable year and
complies with certain other requirements (relating primarily to the
nature of its assets and the sources of its revenues) is not subject to
Federal income taxation to the extent of the income which it
distributes. We believe that we met the qualifications for REIT status
as of December 31, 2001 and intend to meet the qualifications in the
future and to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income
(determined after taking into account any net operating loss deduction)
to shareholders in 2001 and subsequent years. We have elected to treat
certain subsidiaries as Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRS), which were
subject to Federal and state income taxes beginning in 2001. Except
with respect to the TRS, we do not believe that we will be liable for
significant income taxes at the Federal level or in most of the states
in which we operate in 2002 and future years.

Developments in 2001 and 2002

Relying on certain provisions of the REIT Modernization Act, which was
enacted into law in December 1999, the Company negotiated agreements in
the fourth quarter of 2000 to acquire the voting stock of certain real
estate ventures owned by The Rouse Company Incentive Compensation
Statutory Trust (the "Trust"). On January 2, 2001, the Company
exchanged 137,928 shares of common stock for the Trust's

I-1



shares of voting common stock of the ventures. Prior to this
transaction, we owned substantially all of the financial interest in
these ventures but only 9% of their voting stock. The shares acquired
by the Company constitute all of the Trust's interests in the ventures.
The fair value of the consideration exchanged was approximately $3.5
million. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of the
voting common stock of the ventures.

In January 2002, we, Simon Property Group, Inc. and Westfield America Trust
announced that affiliates of each (collectively, the "purchasers")
entered into a Purchase Agreement with Rodamco North America N.V.
("Rodamco") to purchase substantially all of the assets of Rodamco for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately 2.48 billion euros
(approximately $2.21 billion based on exchange rates then in effect) in
cash, subject to adjustment, and the assumption of substantially all of
Rodamco's liabilities, including approximately $2.18 billion of U.S.
dollar denominated property debt and subsidiary perpetual preferred
stock. Additional obligations to be borne by the purchasers include
repayment of Rodamco corporate debt and payment of transaction expenses
aggregating approximately $1.2 billion. The purchase price will be
reduced by any amounts paid by Rodamco to its shareholders prior to
closing. If the closing occurs after May 15, 2002, the purchase price
will increase by an amount equal to the product of 622,642 euros and the
number of days from May 1, 2002 until the closing.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the purchasers entered into a
Joint Purchase Agreement that specifies the properties each will acquire
and sets forth the basis upon which the portion of the aggregate
purchase price to be paid to Rodamco by each purchaser will be
determined. Our share of the purchase price is expected to be
approximately 601 million euros (approximately $536 million based on
exchange rates in effect at the date of the Purchase Agreement). We
also expect to repay a portion of Rodamco's corporate debt and
transaction costs aggregating approximately $321 million and to assume
approximately $675 million of U.S. dollar denominated property debt and
subsidiary perpetual preferred stock.

In the proposed acquisition, we will acquire, directly or indirectly,
interests in the following operating properties:

I-2



Interest to
Property be acquired Location
-------- ----------- --------
Collin Creek /(1)/ 70% Plano, TX
Lakeside Mall 100% Sterling Heights, MI
North Star /(1)/ 96% San Antonio, TX
Oakbrook Center /(2)/ 47% Oakbrook, IL
Perimeter Mall /(1)/ 50% Atlanta, GA
The Streets at South Point 100% Durham, NC
Water Tower Place /(2)/ 52% Chicago, IL
Willowbrook /(1)/ 62% Wayne, NJ

Notes:
/(1)/ As a result of the proposed acquisition, we will own 100% interests
in these properties.
/(2)/ Property also contains significant office space.

The purchasers will jointly own the remaining assets to be acquired from
Rodamco. We will own an interest of approximately 27.3% in these
assets, most of which are intended to be sold. These assets include
interests in a property/investment management company (RoProperty
Services BV) and a New York office building (745 Fifth Avenue) and
investments in real estate operating companies (South Square Mall,
River Ridge, the Plaza at Saw Mill Place, Tishman Investments, Westin
New York and Kravco). Rodamco may sell some of these assets prior to
the closing of the acquisition, and the proceeds from any sales will
reduce the purchase price. RoProperty Services BV and 745 Fifth
Avenue are currently under contracts for sale. In both cases, sale is
subject to a number of conditions, and if the sales are completed, it
is uncertain if they will occur before the purchase of the Rodamco
assets. The purchasers intend to operate and develop another property
management business, Urban Retail Properties Co., with a view toward
capitalizing on its current market position and the skills and talents
of its existing employees.

Also in connection with the Rodamco transaction, we agreed to sell our
interest in Franklin Park, a regional retail center in Toledo, Ohio, to
an affiliate of Westfield America Trust for $20.6 million. We expect
this transaction to close when the purchase of assets from Rodamco
closes.

As discussed above, the cash portion of the purchase price is payable in
euros. In January 2002, we acquired options to purchase 601 million
euros at a weighted-average per euro price of $0.8819. These
transactions were executed to reduce our risk to movements in currency
exchange rates. The contracts expire in May 2002 and had an aggregate
cost of $11.3 million. We will carry the contracts at fair value in
our balance sheet and record changes in their fair values in
operations. If the value of the euro does not exceed the strike prices
in the contracts, the contracts will have no value at their
maturities.

I-3



We intend to fund the acquisition of the assets of Rodamco as follows (in
millions):

Sales of common stock completed in
January/February 2002 $ 457
Sale of certain "noncore" assets
acquired from Rodamco 135
Sale of interests in Columbia
community retail centers (see below) 60
Sale of interest in Franklin Park 20
Other sources, including proceeds
from possible issuance of debt
and/or possible dispositions of
interests in operating properties 185
-----
$ 857
=====

In January 2002, we obtained a commitment from Banc of America Securities,
LLC and Banc of America Mortgage Capital Corporation for up to an $870
million bridge facility with an initial maturity of six months from the
closing of the acquisition to provide interim financing for a portion of
the purchase price and related costs. Availability under the bridge
facility was reduced to $450 million as a result of the issuance of
common stock in January and February 2002. We have the right to extend
the commitment for an additional twelve months at reduced levels. We
believe we will have sufficient liquidity to close the acquisition and
repay amounts borrowed under the bridge facility before its extended
maturity.

There are significant risks associated with our proposed acquisition of
assets from Rodamco. Our obligation to consummate the proposed
acquisition is not subject to a financing condition. While we believe
we have significant liquidity to close the transaction, our plans
include using the proceeds from the sales of certain properties and
assets to be acquired jointly with the other purchasers to repay any
borrowings we may make under the bridge facility. We cannot assure that
these assets will be sold on the anticipated time schedule or at the
prices we expect. We are jointly and severally liable with the other
purchasers under the purchase agreement such that if the other
purchasers fail to perform, Rodamco could look to us for its damages
(although we would have claims against the other purchasers under
cross indemnities). We cannot assure that we will be able to
consummate the acquisition if the other purchasers fail to perform. In
addition, there are several conditions to closing the acquisition,
including approval of the acquisition by the shareholders of Rodamco.

I-4



We currently expect that a vote by the shareholders of Rodamco will
occur on March 25, 2002; however, there is ongoing legal action in the
Netherlands and we cannot assure that the vote will occur on that
date. It is possible that other legal challenges could occur. We
cannot assure that the shareholders of Rodamco will approve the
transaction if and when they do vote. Accordingly, we cannot assure
that the transaction will occur. For more information on these and
other risks associated with the proposed acquisitions, please refer to
Exhibit 99.2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

In January and February of 2002, we issued 16.675 million shares of common
stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $456.9 million ($27.40 per share)
under our effective shelf registration statement. We plan to use the
proceeds of the stock issuance to fund a portion of the purchase price
of the proposed acquisition of the assets of Rodamco described above.

In March 2002, we agreed to sell interests in 12 community retail centers
in Columbia for net proceeds of approximately $100 million. We expect to
record a gain on this transaction. We also agreed to repay $34.2 million
of debt secured by these properties and expect to incur losses on the
early extinguishment of this debt of approximately $5.1 million,
including prepayment penalties of $4.6 million. We expect this
transaction to close in April 2002.

Item 1 (b). Financial Information About Industry Segments.

Information required by Item 1(b) is incorporated herein by reference to
note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the
2001 Annual Report to Shareholders.

As noted in Item 1(a), we are a real estate company engaged, through our
subsidiaries and affiliates, in most aspects of the real estate
industry, including the management, acquisition and development of
income-producing and other properties (retail and commercial),
community development and land development. These business segments are
further described below.

Item 1 (c). Narrative Description of Business.

Retail Centers:
--------------

At December 31, 2001, we owned, in whole or in part, and operated:

. 41 regional retail centers encompassing 32.6 million square feet,
including 19.8 million square feet leased to or owned by department
stores;
. Retail components of 5 mixed-use projects aggregating 0.9 million
square feet of leasable space;
. 12 community retail centers in Columbia, Maryland with 1.2 million
square feet of leasable space; and

I-5



. 3 community retail centers in Summerlin, Nevada with 0.4 million
square feet of leasable space.

We also provide management services for other retail centers owned by
others under management agreements that provide for base and incentive
fees. We equity own interests in some of these centers. At
December 31, 2001 we managed 5 such centers with 4.9 million square feet
of space, 2.6 million of which was department store space.

The activities involved in operating and managing retail centers include:
. identifying and attracting desirable new tenants;
. negotiating lease terms with existing and prospective tenants;
. conducting local market and consumer research;
. developing and implementing short-term and long-term merchandising
and leasing plans;
. assisting tenants in the presentation of their merchandise and the
layout of their stores and store fronts; and
. maintaining the buildings and common areas.

Office and Other Properties:
---------------------------
At December 31, 2001, we owned and managed:

. Office components of 5 mixed-use projects with 1.9 million square feet
of leasable space;
. 41 office and industrial buildings with 2.2 million square feet of
leasable space and other properties in and around Las Vegas, Nevada;
. 18 office and industrial buildings with 1.4 million square feet of
leasable space in Columbia, Maryland;
. 56 office and industrial buildings with 3.8 million square feet of
leasable space primarily in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, but
outside Columbia.

The activities involved in operating and managing office and other
properties include:

. identifying and attracting desirable new tenants;
. negotiating lease terms with existing and prospective tenants;
. conducting local market research;

I-6



. developing and implementing short-term and long-term leasing
plans;
. assisting tenants in the layout of their spaces; and
. maintaining the buildings and common areas.

Commercial Development:
----------------------

We renovate and expand existing retail centers and develop suburban and
urban retail centers, mixed-use projects and office and industrial
buildings primarily for ourselves or ventures in which we have invested.
The activities involved in these development activities include:

. initial market and consumer research;
. evaluating and acquiring land sites;
. obtaining necessary public approvals;
. engaging architectural and engineering firms to design projects;
. estimating and managing development costs;
. developing and testing pro forma operating statements;
. selecting a general contractor;
. arranging construction and permanent financing;
. identifying and obtaining department stores and other tenants;
. negotiating lease terms;
. negotiating partnership and joint venture agreements; and
. promoting new, renovated and/or expanded retail centers, mixed-use
projects and other projects.

We and a lessee are expanding Fashion Show, in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are
an investor in and the development manager for a joint venture
developing the Village of Merrick Park, a mixed-use project in Coral
Gables, Florida. We are also planning additional retail center
expansions and are pursuing new retail center development in San
Antonio, Texas, Dade County, Florida and Summerlin, Nevada. In
addition, we are developing new office and industrial buildings in
Summerlin.

Community Development:
---------------------

We are the developers of the master-planned communities of Columbia,
Maryland and Summerlin, Nevada. Columbia is located in the
Baltimore-Washington corridor and encompasses approximately 18,000
acres. We own approximately 1,200

I-7



saleable acres of land in and around Columbia, including the adjacent
community of Emerson. Summerlin is located immediately north and west
of Las Vegas and encompasses approximately 22,500 acres. We own
approximately 7,300 saleable acres of land in Summerlin. We develop
and sell land in both communities to builders and other developers for
residential, commercial and other uses. We may also develop some of
this land for our own purposes. We are an investor in a joint venture
that is developing Fairwood, a new community in Prince Georges County,
Maryland. We are also developing or holding for sale parcels of land
elsewhere in Nevada and California.

General
-------

In all aspects of our business pertaining to the ownership, management,
acquisition or development of income-producing and other real estate, we
operate in highly competitive markets. With respect to the leasing and
operation or management of developed properties, each project faces
market competition from existing and future developments in its
geographical market area.

We also face competition in and around Columbia, Maryland and Las Vegas,
Nevada with respect to the development and sale of land for residential,
commercial and industrial uses.

Neither our business, taken as a whole, nor any of our operating segments,
is seasonal in nature.

Federal, state and local statutes and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment have previously had no material
effect on our business. Future development opportunities may require
additional capital and other expenditures in order to comply with such
statutes and regulations. It is impossible at this time to predict
with any certainty the magnitude of any such expenditures or the
long-range effect, if any, on our operations. Compliance with such
laws has had no material adverse effect on our operating results or
competitive position in the past; we anticipate that they will have no
material adverse effect on our future operating results or competitive
position in the industry.

None of our operating segments depends upon a single customer or a few
customers, the loss of which would have a materially adverse effect on
the segment. No customer accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated
revenues.

I-8



We believe department stores and other anchor tenants ("anchors") are
instrumental in creating and maintaining customer traffic in our
retail centers. Generally, higher levels of customer traffic will
result in higher tenant sales, a greater demand for space by other
tenants and, as a result, more favorable leasing terms (including
higher minimum rents) for our space.

Most anchors own their buildings, the land under them and, in some cases,
adjacent parking areas. Some anchors enter into long-term lease
agreements at rates that are generally lower than the rents charged to
other tenants at the retail center. Accordingly, anchors do not
provide a significant source of revenues in our operating results.
Anchors typically enter into reciprocal easement agreements that cover
items such as operational matters, initial construction and future
expansion.

The following table identifies the owners of the anchors and the name
plates on their sites within our portfolio (including our joint venture
and managed properties):

Item 2. Properties.

We lease our headquarters building (approximately 127,000 square feet) in
Columbia, Maryland for an initial term of 30 years which expires in
2003 with options for two 15-year renewal periods. The lease on the
headquarters building is accounted for as a capital lease.

Information respecting our operating properties is incorporated herein by
reference to the "Projects of The Rouse Company" table in pages 46
through 49 of Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. The ownership of virtually
all properties is subject to mortgage financing. The table of projects
includes properties managed by us for a fee. Excluding such managed
properties, certain of the remaining properties are subject to leases
which provide an option to purchase (or repurchase) the property and/or
to renew the leases for one or more renewal periods. The years of
expiration indicated below assume all options to extend the terms of
leases are exercised. The operating properties subject to such leases

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Rouse Company:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Rouse Company and
subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our
audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the
financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Rouse Company
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
