4.    Discontinued operations
 
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we report each individual property as a component for determining discontinued operations. The operations of five properties sold during the third quarter of 2002 were reported as income from discontinued operations in 2002, and their respective 2001 results of operations were reclassified to income from discontinued operations. The following is a summary of our income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001:

ITEM  2—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF                   OPERATIONS
 
Cautionary Language
 
The discussions in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include market valuations of our stock, financial performance and operations of our shopping centers, real estate conditions, execution of shopping center development programs, successful completion of renovations, completion of pending acquisitions, changes in the availability of additional acquisitions, changes in local or national economic conditions, acts of terrorism or war and other risks detailed from time to time in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable for our current circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions under different future conditions.
 
We believe that the estimates and assumptions that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, in that they require our most subjective judgments, form the basis for the accounting policies deemed to be most critical. These critical accounting policies include our estimates of useful lives in calculating depreciation expense on our shopping center properties and the ultimate recoverability, or impairment, of each shopping center asset. If actual useful lives are different from our estimates this could result in changes to the results of our operations. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of our shopping center properties could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the properties that may not be reflected in the properties’ current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.
 
Overview
 
We receive income primarily from rental revenue from shopping center properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. Primarily as a result of an increase in our portfolio occupancy, increases resulting from re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives and the acquisition of five properties in 2002 and four properties in 2001, the financial data shows increases in total revenue and total expenses from period to period.
 
On November 13, 2000, we acquired Western Properties Trust, a California real estate investment trust. The transaction was a stock for stock exchange whereby Western common shares and units were exchanged into newly issued common shares and operating subsidiary units, based upon a fixed exchange ratio of 0.62 of a share of our common stock per Western share or operating subsidiary unit. As a result, we issued 10,754,776 shares of our common stock to holders of Western common shares. We are also currently obligated to issue 54,869 shares of our common stock upon the exchange of operating subsidiary units held by limited partners of Pan Pacific (Pinecreek), L.P., formerly Western/Pinecreek, L.P., or pay a cash amount, at our discretion. In connection with this transaction, we assumed $135,000,000 of Western’s debt obligations.
 
We expect that the more significant part of our growth in the next year or two will come from additional acquisitions, rent increases from re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives of the assets acquired in the Western acquisition and the stabilization of other properties acquired during 2002 and 2001.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001.
 
Total revenue increased by $10,372,000, or 7.7%, to $145,517,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $135,145,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2001.
 
Rental revenue, which includes base rent and percentage rent, increased by $8,613,000, or 8.2%, to $113,532,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $104,919,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in rental revenue resulted principally from portfolio occupancy increases and re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives of five property acquisitions in 2002, four property acquisitions in 2001 and the properties acquired through the Western transaction in November 2000.
 
Recoveries from tenants increased by $3,064,000, or 12.8%, to $26,943,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $23,879,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase resulted primarily from portfolio occupancy increases and re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives of five property acquisitions in 2002, four property acquisitions in 2001 and the properties acquired through the Western transaction in November 2000. In addition, recoveries from tenants increased because recoverable expenses increased. Recoveries from tenants were 93.0% of property operating expenses and property taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 93.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
 
Other income decreased by $831,000, or 14.5%, to $4,919,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $5,750,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease resulted from a reduction in lease termination fee income compared to prior year and an increase in common area maintenance billing adjustments for 2001 that were credited back to tenants.
 
Property operating expenses increased by $2,152,000, or 13.9%, to $17,625,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $15,473,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase resulted primarily from five property acquisitions in 2002 as well as an increase in insurance costs as a result of added coverage. Property taxes increased by $1,208,000, or 11.9%, to $11,346,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $10,138,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in property taxes was primarily the result of property tax re-assessments on the assets acquired in the Western transaction as well as property tax expense for the assets acquired in 2002 and 2001.
 
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,502,000, or 6.9%, to $23,151,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $21,649,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This was primarily due to additional depreciation expense on tenant improvements, building renovations and pad build-out expenditures incurred during 2001 as well as depreciation expense on the assets acquired during 2002 and 2001.
 
Interest expense decreased by $1,143,000, or 3.2%, to $34,194,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $35,337,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in the LIBOR component of our borrowing cost under our revolving credit facility over the comparable period in the prior year. This decrease in the borrowing cost was partially offset by an increase in interest expense as a result of additional amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility to finance properties acquired during 2002 and 2001. Interest expense also increased as a result of our issuance of $150,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in April 2001. The stated interest rate of 7.95% on the senior notes is higher than our cost to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility and term credit loan which were paid down with the net proceeds of the notes offering. Interest expense also increased as a result of our issuance of $55,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in June 2002. The stated interest rate of 5.75% on the senior notes is higher than our cost to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility, which was paid down with the net proceeds of the notes offering.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $838,000, or 12.3%, to $7,653,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $6,815,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in accrued vacation expense, an increase in accrued compensation as well as annual compensation increases. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 5.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 5.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 totaling $3,844,000 includes net gain on sale of real estate totaling $2,823,000 and operating results of $1,021,000 relating to the sale of five non-strategic assets during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net gain on sale of real estate totaling $3,344,000 resulted from the sale of five non-strategic assets and a parcel of land during the period. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $1,346,000 reflects the operating results of the five non-strategic assets that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2001.
 
Total revenue increased by $4,861,000, or 10.8%, to $50,012,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $45,151,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

The increase in rental revenue resulted principally from portfolio occupancy increases and re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives of five property acquisitions in 2002, four property acquisitions in 2001 and the properties acquired through the Western transaction in November 2000.
 
Recoveries from tenants increased by $1,215,000, or 15.0%, to $9,333,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $8,118,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase resulted primarily from portfolio occupancy increases and re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives of five property acquisitions in 2002, four property acquisitions in 2001 and the properties acquired through the Western transaction in November 2000. In addition, recoveries from tenants increased because recoverable expenses increased. Recoveries from tenants were 94.0% of property operating expenses and property taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 98.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. These recovery rates historically have fluctuated from period to period.
 
Other income decreased by $433,000, or 20.4%, to $1,690,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $2,123,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease resulted from a reduction in lease termination fee income compared to prior year and an increase in common area maintenance billing adjustments for 2001 that were credited back to tenants.
 
Property operating expenses increased by $1,254,000, or 25.7%, to $6,139,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $4,885,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to the assets acquired in 2002 and 2001. Property taxes increased by $460,000, or 13.8%, to $3,791,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $3,331,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in property taxes was primarily the result of property tax re-assessments on the assets acquired in the Western transaction as well as property tax expense for the assets acquired in 2002 and 2001.
 
Depreciation and amortization increased by $869,000, or 12.4%, to $7,902,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $7,033,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This was primarily due to additional depreciation expense on tenant improvements, building renovations and pad build-out expenditures incurred during 2001 as well as depreciation expense on the assets acquired during 2002 and 2001.
 
Interest expense increased by $351,000, or 3.0%, to $11,913,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $11,562,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest expense as a result of additional amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility to finance properties acquired during 2002 and 2001. Interest expense also increased as a result of our issuance of $150,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in April 2001. The stated interest rate of 7.95% on the senior notes is higher than our cost to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility and term credit loan, which were paid down with the net proceeds of the notes offering. Interest expense also increased as a result of our issuance of $55,000,000, in aggregate principal amount, of senior notes in June 2002. The stated interest rate of 5.75% on the senior notes is higher than our cost to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility, which was paid down with the net proceeds of the notes offering. These increases were offset by a reduction in the LIBOR component of our borrowing cost under our revolving credit facility over the comparable period in the prior year.

General and administrative expenses increased by $273,000, or 12.8%, to $2,405,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $2,132,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in accrued vacation expense, an increase in accrued compensation as well as annual compensation increases. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 4.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 4.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

Funds from Operations
 
The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in March 1995 (the “White Paper”) defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles—“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We consider Funds from Operations an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT because it is predicated on cash flow analyses. We compute Funds from Operations in accordance with standards established by the White Paper. Our computation of Funds from Operations may, however, differ from the methodology for calculating Funds from Operations used by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to these other REITs. Funds from Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

Cash Flows
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations decreased by $1,287,000 to $66,904,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $68,191,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of an increase in operating income offset by an increase in accrued interest to notes receivable and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
 
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations increased by $49,724,000 to $74,866,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $25,142,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in acquisitions of and additions to operating properties, an increase in funds held in escrow pending a property acquisition, a decrease in proceeds from sale of real estate and an increase in redemption of operating partnership units, offset by an increase in collections of notes receivable and the change in the increase in notes receivable.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations increased by $85,669,000 to $39,745,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $45,924,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in line of credit proceeds, a decrease in line of credit payments, an increase in notes payable proceeds, a decrease in repurchase of common shares and an increase in issuance of common shares, offset by decrease in issuance of senior notes.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our total market capitalization at September 30, 2002, was approximately $1,929,619,000, based on the market closing price of our common stock at September 30, 2002 of $34.48 per share (assuming the conversion of 802,073 operating subsidiary units to common stock) and debt outstanding of approximately $744,004,000 (exclusive of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities). As a result, our debt to total market capitalization ratio was approximately 38.6% at September 30, 2002. Our Board of Directors adopted a policy of limiting our indebtedness to approximately 50% of our total market capitalization. However, we may from time to time modify our debt policy in light of current economic or market conditions including but not limited to the relative costs of debt and equity capital, market conditions for debt and equity securities and fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. Accordingly, we may increase or decrease our debt to market capitalization ratio beyond the limit described above.
 
In connection with our acquisition of Western in November 2000, we entered into a new financing arrangement including a $300,000,000 revolving credit facility and a $100,000,000 term credit loan. Our revolving credit facility matures in January 2004 and our term credit loan was paid in full in July 2001. At September 30, 2002, we had $122,100,000 available under our revolving credit facility and our term credit loan had been repaid in full in 2001. At our option, amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility bear interest at either LIBOR plus 1.10% or a reference rate. At our option, amounts borrowed under our term credit loan bore interest at either LIBOR plus 1.20% or a reference rate. The weighted average interest rate for short-term LIBOR contracts under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2002 was 2.95%. We will continue to use our revolving credit facility to take advantage of select acquisition opportunities as well as to provide funds for general corporate purposes. In April 2001, we issued $150,000,000 of 7.95% senior notes due April 15, 2011. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our term credit loan. In June 2002, we issued $55,000,000 of 5.75% senior notes due June 29, 2007. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
 
On September 30, 2002, Plaza Escuela Holding, Co., LLC completed a financing transaction with an initial funding of $38,087,000, bearing interest at 6.8%, wherein we received a partial payoff of $36,754,000 on our note receivable of $44,349,000 on the Plaza Escuela property in Walnut Creek, California. The remaining balance of our note of $7,595,000 was converted to a 49% non-managing member interest in Plaza Escuela Holding Co., LLC, the entity that owns the property. Our equity position will earn a preferred return of 12%. In addition, we are entitled to receive 25% of the operating cash flows from the property through November 2008. Proceeds from the note repayment and cash flow participation will be used primarily to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2002, the balance of the loan was $38,087,000. The loan is secured by the property and is not guaranteed by us. We account for this joint venture under the equity method. This unconsolidated debt is one of two off-balance-sheet financings to which we are a party.

We are a general partner of a joint venture, which owns a medical office building in Encinitas, California. During the second quarter of 2002, the joint venture entered into a loan agreement for $18,000,000, bearing interest at 7%, to purchase the building on the property. At September 30, 2002, the balance of the loan was $17,989,286. The loan is secured by the property and is not guaranteed by us. We account for this joint venture under the equity method. This unconsolidated debt is one of two off-balance-sheet financings to which we are a party.
 
We are the managing member of a joint venture, created for the purpose of developing Olympic Place in Walnut Creek, California. The joint venture entered into a construction loan agreement in December 2001 to borrow up to $25,800,000 to fund the development. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, $12,378,000 and $0, respectively, had been drawn on the construction loan. At our option, amounts borrowed under the construction loan bear interest at either LIBOR plus 1.95% or a reference rate. The loan is secured by the property and is guaranteed by us. We consolidate this joint venture.
 
All of our indebtedness is disclosed in our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report. Our indebtedness outstanding at September 30, 2002 includes regularly scheduled principal reductions, balloon payments, scheduled senior note redemptions and amounts due on our revolving credit facility and our joint venture construction loan agreement as follows:

The payments due in the year 2003 include the balance drawn on our joint venture construction loan agreement at September 30, 2002 of $12,378,000. Payments due in the year 2004 include the balance drawn on our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2002 of $177,900,000 and senior note redemptions of $50,000,000. Payments due in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 include senior note redemptions of $25,000,000, $55,000,000, $25,000,000, $25,000,000 and $150,000,000, respectively. With regard to the payments noted above, it is likely that we will not have sufficient funds on hand to repay these amounts at maturity. Therefore, we expect to refinance this debt either through additional debt financings secured by individual properties or groups of properties, by unsecured private or public debt offerings or by additional equity offerings. We could enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We are not a party to any derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2002. Further, we do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative or trading purposes nor do we enter into energy or commodity contracts.
 
We have entered into certain related party transactions with executive officers and affiliates of the Company. We believe that all related party agreements were entered into at arms length. Information on these related party transactions can be found in our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.
 
We expect to make distributions from net cash provided by operations. Operating cash flows in excess of amounts to be used for distributions will be invested primarily in short-term investments such as collateralized securities of the United States government or its agencies, high-grade commercial paper and bank deposits or used to pay down outstanding balances on our revolving credit facility, if any.

During the fourth quarter of 2000 we distributed a special, two-month dividend of $0.28 a share. This dividend was in connection with the Western acquisition, and was paid to our stockholders of record before the merger transaction was closed to address the two-month shift in timing for the payment of our normal quarterly dividend in future periods.
 
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our current working capital and net cash provided by operations. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make the distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT. We also believe that the foregoing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
 
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements such as property acquisition and development, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities and the use of net proceeds from the disposition of non-strategic assets. We also expect to use funds available under our revolving credit facility to finance acquisition and development activities and capital improvements on an interim basis.
 
Inflation
 
Substantially all of our leases provide for the recovery of real estate taxes and operating expenses we incur. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed escalations (based on the consumer price index or other measures) and percentage rent. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be substantially offset by expense reimbursements, contractual rent increases and percentage rent.
 
Our revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable rate, which will be influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and will be sensitive to inflation.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
As of September 30, 2002, we had $190,278,000 of outstanding floating rate debt under our revolving credit facility and our joint venture construction loan agreement. In order to modify and manage the interest characteristics of outstanding debt and limit the effects of changes in interest rates on operations, we may use a variety of financial instruments. We were not a party to any hedging agreements with respect to our floating rate debt as of September 30, 2002. We do not enter into any transactions for speculative or trading purposes. We do not believe that our weighted average interest rate of 7.51% on our fixed rate debt is materially different from current fair market interest rates for debt instruments with similar risks and maturities. Additionally, we do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our floating rate debt is material as of that date in relation to total assets of $1,426,970,000 and a market capitalization of $1,185,615,000 of our common stock and operating subsidiary units.

Controls and procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedure
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Within 90 days prior to the date of this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.
