Documents Incorporated by Reference The specified portions of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 are incorporated by reference into Parts I, II and IV. Definitive Proxy Statement to be filed pursuant to Regulation 14A on or before April 4, 1997 is incorporated by reference into Part III. PART I ------ Item 1. Business. Item 1(a). General Development of Business. The Rouse Company (the "Company") was incorporated as a business corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1956. Its principal offices are located at The Rouse Company Building, Columbia, Maryland 21044. Its telephone number is (410) 992-6000. The Company, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is engaged in (i) the ownership, management, acquisition and development of income-producing and other real estate in the United States, including retail centers, office buildings, mixed-use projects, community retail centers and two hotels, and the management of one retail center in Canada, and (ii) the development and sale of land to builders and other developers, primarily around Columbia, Maryland, and Las Vegas, Nevada, for residential, commercial and industrial uses. DEVELOPMENTS IN 1996 On June 12, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition, through merger, of The Hughes Corporation and Howard Hughes Properties, Limited Partnership (collectively "Hughes") from the heirs of the late Howard R. Hughes, Jr. and others (the "Hughes Owners"). The Hughes assets include: four large-scale, master-planned business parks (three in Las Vegas and one in Los Angles); a 75 percent partnership interest in an 840,000 square foot regional shopping center, Fashion Show Mall, located on the "Strip" in Las Vegas; a 22,500 acre master-planned, new community development project, Summerlin, which extends from northwest Las Vegas west to the Spring Mountain Range; and a number of other land parcels and commercial buildings in both Nevada and the Los Angeles area. The purchase price was approximately $549 million, comprised of $178 million of common stock of the Company (7,742,884 shares valued at $23 per share) and $371 million of debt and other liabilities (net of certain receivables and other current assets acquired) incurred or assumed by the Company. Additional shares of common stock, (or in certain circumstances, Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock) of the Company may be issued to the Hughes Owners based on the values of certain specified assets at various "termination" dates over a 14-year period and net cash flows generated from the development or sale of those assets prior to the termination dates pursuant to terms of a Contingent Stock Agreement. I-1 Item 1. Business, continued. Item 1(b). Financial Information About Industry Segments. Information required by Item 1(b) is incorporated herein by reference to note 11 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. As noted in Item 1(a), the Company is a real estate company engaged in most aspects of the real estate industry, including the management, acquisition and development of income-producing and other properties, both retail and commercial, community development and management, and land sales. These business segments are further described below. I-2 Item 1. Business, continued. Item 1(c). Narrative Description of Business. Operating Properties: -------------------- As set forth in Item 2, at December 31, 1996, the 58 regional retail centers owned, in whole or in part, or operated by subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company, aggregated 43,721,000 square feet of leasable space, including 25,166,000 square feet owned by or leased to department stores and 147,000 square feet of office space. The activities involved in operating and managing retail centers include: negotiating lease terms with present and prospective tenants, identifying and attracting desirable new tenants, conducting local market and consumer research, developing and implementing short- and long-term merchandising and leasing programs, assisting tenants in the presentation of their merchandise and the layout of their stores and storefronts, and maintaining the buildings and common areas. In conjunction with other partners or investors, the Company acquires interests in completed retail centers, with the Company having management responsibility and earning incentive fees including, in some instances, equity interests in the centers. The Company also provides management services for centers developed and owned by others under management agreements that also provide for incentive fees and, in some instances, equity interests in the centers. As of December 31, 1996, the Company managed 17 such centers, which are included in the figures in the preceding paragraph and aggregated 12,646,000 square feet of leasable space, 7,117,000 square feet of which was department store space. The Howard Research And Development Corporation ("HRD", a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company) and its subsidiaries own and/or manage 14 office and industrial buildings with 2,432,000 square feet of leasable space, 9 community retail centers with 868,000 square feet of leasable retail space and other properties and additional commercial space, including the 289-room Columbia Inn in Columbia, Maryland. The Hughes Corporation ("Hughes", a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its subsidiaries and affiliates own and/or manage 53 office and industrial buildings with 3,209,000 square feet of leasable space, a community retail center with 36,000 square feet of leasable space and other properties in and around Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California. Other subsidiaries of the Company own and operate 5 mixed-use projects with a total of 1,301,000 square feet of leasable retail space, 1,858,000 square feet of leasable office space and the 148-room Cross Keys Inn located at The Village of Cross I-3 Item 1. Business, continued. Keys in Baltimore, Maryland. Other subsidiaries of the Company own, in whole or in part, 8 office buildings with a total of 1,098,000 square feet of leasable office space. The Company also has a 5% interest in Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc., which owns 29 office/industrial buildings with 4,608,000 square feet of space and 303 acres of land. A wholly-owned affiliate of the Company is responsible for the operation, management and development of all buildings and land owned by Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc. Development: ----------- The Company renovates and expands existing retail centers and develops suburban and downtown retail centers, mixed-use projects and master-planned business parks, primarily for ownership. In addition, the Company is capable of serving as the master developer for certain mixed-use projects, with the Company generally owning at least the retail component of such projects. The activities involved in the development, renovation and expansion of retail centers, mixed-use projects and master-planned business parks include: initial market and consumer research, evaluating and acquiring land sites, obtaining necessary public approvals, engaging architectural and engineering firms to design the project, estimating 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 or expanded retail centers, mixed-use projects and master-planned business parks. The Company and certain subsidiaries or affiliates are in the construction or development stage of announced projects, primarily the construction of a new retail center in Orlando, Florida, expansions of existing retail centers and expansions of existing master-planned business parks in Las Vegas, Nevada. Land Sales: ---------- HRD is the developing entity of Columbia, Maryland, which is located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. HRD owns approximately 2,000 developable acres (1,741 saleable acres) of land in and around Columbia, and, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, develops and sells this land to builders and other developers for residential, commercial and industrial uses. Hughes is the developing entity of Summerlin, Nevada, which is located immediately north and west of Las Vegas. Hughes owns approximately 16,500 developable acres(11,500 saleable acres) of land in Summerlin, and develops and sells this land to builders and other developers for residential and commercial I-4 Item 1. Business, continued. uses. The Company may also retain some of this land for its own development purposes. The Company, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, also is presently involved in community development and related land sales elsewhere in Maryland, and is developing for sale parcels of land elsewhere in Nevada and California. In all aspects of the Company's business pertaining to the ownership, management, acquisition or development of income-producing and other real estate, the Company operates 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. The Company competes with developers and other buyers with respect to the acquisition of development sites or centers and for financing opportunities in the money markets. The Company also faces 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 the Company's business, taken as a whole, nor any of its industry 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 the Company's business. Future development opportunities of the Company may involve 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 the Company's operations. Compliance with such laws has had no material adverse effect on the operating results or competitive position of the Company in the past; the Company anticipates that they will have no material adverse effect on its future operating results or its competitive position in the industry. None of the Company's industry 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 percent or more of the consolidated revenues of the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries had 4,287 full-time and part-time employees at December 31, 1996. I-5 Item 2. Properties. The Company leases its 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 the Company's operating properties is incorporated herein by reference to the "Projects of The Rouse Company" table on pages 64 through 67 of Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. The ownership of virtually all properties is subject to mortgage financing. The table of projects includes retail centers managed by the Company for a fee as identified in notes (c) and (d) to the table. Excluding such managed centers, 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 the leases are exercised. The properties subject to such leases in whole or in part are as follows:

IV-2 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ---------------------------- The Board of Directors and Shareholders The Rouse Company: We have audited the consolidated cost basis financial statements and the related financial statement schedules of The Rouse Company and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. We have also audited the supplemental consolidated current value basis financial statements listed in the 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 generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated cost basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Rouse Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated cost basis financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. As more fully described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the supplemental consolidated current value basis financial statements referred to above have been prepared by management to present relevant financial information about The Rouse Company and its subsidiaries which is not provided by the cost basis financial statements and are not intended to be a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, as more fully described in note 1, the supplemental consolidated current value basis financial statements do not purport to present the net realizable, liquidation or market value of the Company as a whole. Furthermore, amounts ultimately realized by the Company from the disposal of properties may vary from the current values presented. In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated current value basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein on the basis of accounting described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

THE ROUSE COMPANY DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS (AMENDED AND RESTATED) PURPOSE ------- The Rouse Company Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors is established (i) to enable an eligible Director to defer receipt of fees otherwise payable by the Company for service in his or her capacity as a Director or as a member of a committee of the Board of Directors and (ii) to provide a program of credits to a Common Stock account for each Director based on his or her period of service as a Director. SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS ----------- In this Plan, the following terms have the meanings stated: (a) "Board of Directors" means the board of directors of the Company. (b) "Company" means The Rouse Company and any affiliated, subsidiary or successor corporation of or to The Rouse Company. (c) "Deferred Compensation" means all compensation earned by a Participant during the period of his or her participation in the Plan for services as a Director or as a member of a committee of the Board of Directors, or so much thereof as a Participant elects to defer. Deferred Compensation does not include amounts payable to a Participant for reimbursement of expenses. (d) "Deferred Compensation Account" means an account maintained under this Plan by the Company for each Participant to which Deferred Compensation and additional compensation is credited. (e) "Deferred Retainer Account" means an account maintained under this Plan by the Company for each Participant to which Retainer Contributions and, if applicable, an Initial Contribution are made by the Company. (f) "Director" means a member of the Board of Directors. (g) "Initial Contribution" means an amount credited to a Deferred Retainer Account as provided in Section 4(a)(1)(A). (h) "Participant" means a Director who is participating in the Plan as provided in Section 2. (i) "Plan" means The Rouse Company Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors (Amended and Restated) as set forth herein and as amended from time to time. (j) "Retainer Contribution" means an amount credited to a Deferred Retainer Account as provided in Sections 4(a)(1)(B) and 4(a)(2). SECTION 2 PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN ------------------------- A Director who is not an employee of the Company and who is receiving the standard director's compensation: (1) shall have a Deferred Retainer Account established for him or her upon being elected as a director, and (2) shall, upon giving the Company notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A, have a Deferred Compensation Account established for him or her. SECTION 3 DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT ----------------------------- (a) A Participant's Deferred Compensation shall be credited to his or her Deferred Compensation Account. Effective May 12, 1994, and subject to such rules as the Secretary of the Company, as Plan Administrator, shall establish, a Participant may specify that his or her Deferred Compensation Account shall be treated as if it were invested in any of the investment alternatives that are available under The Rouse Company Savings Plan, as amended from time to time, and such Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited with investment earnings, gains or losses accordingly until the balance in the Deferred Compensation Account has been fully distributed as provided in Section 6. A Participant shall designate in writing to the Secretary of the Company: (1) the percentage of his or her compensation as a Director that is to be credited to the Plan as Deferred Compensation; and (2) the percentage of Deferred Compensation that is to be credited to each investment alternative elected by the Participant. (b) Effective the first day of the next calendar quarter, a Participant may by written notice to the Secretary of the Company substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Plan change any of the percentages specified in the preceding sentence and reallocate any portion of the investment balances in his or her Deferred Compensation Account. SECTION 4 DEFERRED RETAINER ACCOUNT ------------------------- (a) A Participant's Deferred Retainer Account shall be credited with the following amounts: (1) a Director who is eligible to participate in the Plan on May 23, 1996 shall have credited to his or her Deferred Retainer Account: (A) on May 23, 1996, an Initial Contribution equal to $2,750 multiplied by such person's full years of service as a director as of May 23, 1996; and (B) on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on June 30, 1996, or on the next succeeding business day if any such day is not a business day, a Retainer Contribution equal to 2 1/2% of the annual director's retainer in effect on such date; and (2) a Director who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after May 23, 1996 shall have credited to his or her Deferred Retainer Account on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, or on the next succeeding business day if any such day is not a business day, a Retainer Contribution equal to 2 1/2% of the annual director's retainer in effect on such date. (b) With respect to a Director who is eligible to participate in the Plan on May 23, 1996, the value of such Director's Deferred Retainer Account at the time of his or her termination of participation as provided in Section 5 shall be the greater of: (1) the value of the Deferred Retainer Account based on the Initial Contribution, any subsequent Retainer Contributions, dividends, other investment earnings, and investment gains or losses, all as provided in Sections 4(a) and 4(c); and (2) the present value of the projected retirement benefit of the Director at the time of his or her termination of participation based on the Board of Directors retirement program as in effect immediately prior to May 23, 1996, and utilizing the interest rates and mortality tables that are used to calculate lump sum payments under The Rouse Company Pension Plan as of the date of the director's termination of participation. (c) All amounts credited to a Participant's Deferred Retainer Account shall be treated as if they were invested in Common Stock of the Company and shall be credited with dividends and any other investment earnings. (d) If the Company's Common Stock changes as a result of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalization or the like, proportionate adjustments shall be made automatically in the number of shares credited to each Participant's Deferred Retainer Account. If the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities or property (including cash) of the Company or of another corporation for any reason, including by reason of reorganization, merger, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation, or exchange of shares or consolidation, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares, other securities, or property credited to each Participant's Deferred Retainer Account. (e) For purposes of this Section and Section 6, the value of a share of the Company's Common Stock shall be the closing New York Stock Exchange price on the applicable date as reported in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition). ----------------------------------------- SECTION 5 TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION ---------------------------- (a) Participation in the Plan will terminate if (i) the Participant ceases to be a Director or becomes an employee of the Company or (ii) the Participant dies, whichever event occurs first. (b) A Director whose participation in the Plan has terminated under Section 5(a)(i) may elect to participate in the Plan again, provided he or she again becomes eligible to participate under Section 2. SECTION 6 DISTRIBUTION FROM DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT ----------------------------------------------- AND DEFERRED RETAINER ACCOUNT ----------------------------- (a) At the time a Director becomes a Participant in the Plan, with respect to a Deferred Retainer Account, or elects to participate in the Plan, with respect to a Deferred Compensation Account, he or she shall elect the timing of distributions from his or her Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account, as applicable. Such election regarding the timing of distributions may be changed by a Director if federal income tax laws then permit such a new election without affecting the taxability of fees deferred or credited under the Plan. Distributions will commence as provided in (b) and (c) below and will be made in one lump sum or in up to 10 annual installments. If a Director chooses payment in more than one installment, the amount of each installment shall be equal to the amount in the Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account on the date each installment is to be paid, divided by the number of annual installments remaining. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any election by the Director to the contrary, accelerate the payment of any or all installments of a Director's Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account once distribution of the Account has begun. (b) Except as provided in Section 6(c), distribution from a Director's Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account will commence on the first day of the Director's tax year following termination of the Director's participation in the Plan as provided in Section 5(a) above. Any subsequent installments will be paid on each anniversary date of the initial installment until the Director has been paid the balance of his or her Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account. All distributions from a Director's Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account shall be in cash. Payments to a Director shall be suspended if the Director again becomes a Participant as provided in Section 5(b) and will be resumed when the Director's participation later ceases. (c) If a Director dies before receiving full payment of his or her Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account, the balance of the Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account on the date of his or her death will be paid in cash to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Director, or, if no designation has been made, to the Director's estate. The unpaid balance will be paid within six months following the death of the Director, regardless of any election by the Director to receive annual installments. A Director may change his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries by written notice to the Secretary of the Company substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Plan. SECTION 7 NON-ASSIGNABILITY ----------------- No assignment or transfer by any Director, former Director or his or her legal representative of any interest under the Plan will be recognized (except by designation of a beneficiary under the Plan or by will or the laws of descent and distribution). SECTION 8 OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION ---------------------------- The Plan shall be operated under the direction of the Board of Directors and administered by the Secretary of the Company, whose decision on all matters involving the interpretation and application of the Plan shall be final and binding. SECTION 9 AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE ---------------------------- The Board of Directors may from time to time amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment, suspension or discontinuance of the Plan may reduce any Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account of a Participant or former Participant as of the date of the amendment, suspension or discontinuance or, except with the consent of a Participant or former Participant, result in the payment of amounts in a Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account prior to the time provided in the Plan to a person who is a Participant or former Participant at the time of the amendment, suspension or discontinuance. SECTION 10 PLAN NOT FUNDED --------------- The Plan is not funded. The Company will not reserve or otherwise set aside funds or Common Stock for the payment of amounts in Deferred Compensation Accounts or Deferred Retainer Accounts. Benefits will be paid solely from the Company's general funds and are not secured by any form of trust, escrow or otherwise. SECTION 11 NOTICES ------- All notices and consents shall be in writing, shall be given to the Secretary of the Company and shall, except as otherwise stated in the notice or consent or the Plan, take effect upon receipt. SECTION 12 COPIES OF PLAN; STATEMENTS -------------------------- Copies of the Plan and any and all amendments will be provided upon request by the Secretary of the Company to the Directors and to any former Participant who has an unpaid balance in his or her Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account, and are available for inspection during normal business hours at the office of the Secretary of the Company. A statement of transactions in a Participant's or former Participant's Deferred Compensation Account or Deferred Retainer Account shall be provided by the Company annually and upon a Participant's or former Participant's request.

The financial section of the annual report, which is incorporated by reference, is final and is enclosed as Exhibit 13. This financial section includes all the information incorporated by reference in Parts I, II and IV of this Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE CONSULTANTS Landauer Associates, Inc. 666 Fifth Avenue New York, New York 10103 KPMG PEAT MARWICK LLP AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS THE ROUSE COMPANY: We have reviewed estimates of the market value of equity and other interests in certain real property owned and/or managed by The Rouse Company (the Company) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. The properties reviewed at December 31, 1996 include all the projects identified as "In Operation" on the "Projects of The Rouse Company" table on pages 64 through 66 of the Annual Report for 1996, investment land and land held for development and sale, and certain parcels of land in development and certain other properties held for sale. The properties reviewed at December 31, 1995 were the same, except for the properties which were acquired or disposed during 1996. The total values of its equity and other interests estimated by the Company were $2,839,570,000 and $2,444,218,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Based upon our review, we concur with the Company's estimates of the total value of the property interests appraised. In our opinion, the aggregate value estimated by the Company varies less than 10% from the aggregate value we would estimate in a full and complete appraisal of the same interests. A variation of less than 10% between appraisers implies substantial agreement as to the most probable market value of such property interests. The data used in our review were supplied to us in summary form by the Company. We have relied upon the Company's interpretation and summaries of leases, operating agreements, mortgages and partnership, joint venture and management agreements. We have had complete and unrestricted access to all underlying documents and have confirmed certain information by reference to such documents. We have found no discrepancies in the data and, to the best of our knowledge, believe all such data to be accurate and complete. The basic assumptions used by the Company and the individual value estimates prepared by the Company were, in our opinion, fair and reasonable. No assumption has been made with respect to a bulk sale of the entire holdings or groups of property interests. We have also physically inspected, within the past three years, substantially all of the properties which were reviewed. We certify that neither Landauer Associates, Inc. nor the undersigned have any present or prospective interest in the Company's properties, and we have no personal interest or bias with respect to the parties involved. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the facts upon which the analysis and conclusions were based are materially true and correct. No one, other than the undersigned assisted by members of our staff, performed the analyses and reached the conclusions resulting in the opinion expressed in this letter. Our fee for this assignment was not contingent on any action or event resulting from the analyses, opinions, or conclusions in, or the use of, this review. Our review has been prepared in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Sincerely, Landauer Associates, Inc. /s/ James C. Kafes /s/ Deborah A. Jackson James C.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 30 The Rouse Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 (1) CURRENT VALUE BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (a) CURRENT VALUE REPORTING The Company's interests in operating properties, land held for development and sale and certain other assets have appreciated in value and, accordingly, their aggregate current value substantially exceeds their aggregate cost basis net book value determined in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The current value basis financial statements present information about the current values to the Company of its assets and liabilities and the changes in such values. The current value basis financial statements are not intended to present the current liquidation values of assets or liabilities of the Company or its net assets taken as a whole. Management believes that the current value basis financial statements more realistically reflect the underlying financial strength of the Company. The current values of the Company's interests in operating properties, including interests in unconsolidated real estate ventures, represent management's estimates of the value of these assets primarily as investments. These values will generally be realized through future cash flows generated by the operation of these properties over their economic lives. The current values of land held for development and sale represent management's estimates of the value of these assets under long-term development and sales programs. Shareholders' equity on a current value basis was $1,818,747,000 or $27.25 per share of common stock at December 31, 1996 and $1,539,155,000 or $26.30 per share of common stock at December 31, 1995. The per share calculation at December 31, 1995 assumes conversion of the Preferred stock. The process for estimating the current values of the Company's assets and liabilities requires significant estimates and judgments by management. These estimates and judgments are made based on information and assumptions considered by management to be adequate and appropriate in the circumstances; however, they are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change from time to time as economic and market factors, and management's evaluation of them, change. The current value basis financial statements are not presented as part of the Company's quarterly reports to shareholders. The extensive market research, financial analyses and testing of results required to produce reliable current value information make it impractical to report this information on an interim basis. (b) BASES OF VALUATION INTERESTS IN OPERATING PROPERTIES--The current value of the Company's interests in operating properties is the Company's share of each property's equity value plus the outstanding balance of debt specifically related to the properties. Equity values are determined based on the present values of forecasted net cash flows and residual values, if applicable, or on the application of a capitalization rate to stabilized net operating income (primarily for office properties in 1996). The current value of the Company's interests in unconsolidated real estate ventures is the present value of the Company's share of forecasted net cash flow, including incentive management fees, and residual value of the respective real estate ventures. The forecasts of net cash flow generally cover periods of eleven years, are based on an evaluation of the history and future of each property and are supported by market studies, analyses of tenant lease terms and projected sales performance and detailed estimates of revenues and operating expenses. The internal rates of return used in determining present values and capitalization rates vary by project and between years as investor yield requirements change. The resulting values recognize the considerable differences between properties in terms of quality, age, outlook and risk as well as the prevailing yield requirements of investors for income-producing properties. PROPERTIES IN DEVELOPMENT--Properties in development are carried at the same amounts as in the cost basis financial statements except that certain parcels of land are carried at their estimated current values. Management believes that properties in development have values in excess of their historical cost, but has followed a practice of not recognizing any value increment until these properties are completed and operating. INVESTMENT LAND AND PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE--Investment land and properties held for sale are carried at their estimated fair values less costs to sell. Fair values are based on contract prices, 31 negotiations with prospective purchasers or management's estimates of future cash flows from operations and/or sale of the properties, where appropriate. LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SALE--The current value of land held for development and sale is based on the present value of forecasted net cash flows under development and sales programs. These programs set forth the proposed timing and cost of all improvements necessary to bring the properties to saleable condition, the pace and price of sales and the costs to administer the programs and sell the properties. DEBT--Debt and obligations under capital leases specifically related to interests in operating properties are carried at the same amount as in the cost basis balance sheets since the value of the Company's equity interest in each property is based on net cash flow after payments on the debt or leases. The current values of publicly-traded debt not specifically related to interests in properties are determined using quoted market prices. The current values of other debt and obligations under capital leases are carried at the same amount as in the cost basis balance sheets since the difference between the stated and estimated market interest rates for such obligations is not material. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES--Because the current value basis financial statements are prepared on the assumption that values will generally be realized over the long- term through operating cash flows and not through liquidation, the deferred income tax obligation on a current value basis is the estimated present value of income tax payments which may be made based primarily on long-term projections of taxable income. The projections of taxable income reflect all allowable deductions and the Company's state income tax planning strategies. The discount rates used to compute the present value of income tax payments are based on the Company's assessment of the uncertainty with respect to the ultimate timing and amounts of income tax payments. OTHER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES--Substantially all other assets and liabilities are carried in the current value basis balance sheets at the lower of cost or net realizable value or, where applicable, fair value less costs to sell--the same stated value as in the cost basis balance sheets. (c) REVALUATION EQUITY The aggregate difference between the current value basis and cost basis of the Company's assets and liabilities is reported as revaluation equity in the shareholders' equity section of the consolidated current value basis balance sheets. The components of revaluation equity at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows (in thousands):

32 (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company acquires, develops and/or manages income-producing properties located throughout the United States and develops and sells land for residential, commercial and other uses, primarily in Columbia, Maryland and Las Vegas, Nevada. The income-producing properties consist of retail centers, office buildings, mixed-use and other properties. The retail centers are primarily regional shopping centers in suburban market areas, but also include specialty marketplaces in certain downtown areas and several village centers primarily in Columbia. The office properties are primarily suburban buildings in the Columbia, Baltimore and Las Vegas market areas or components of large-scale mixed-use properties located in urban markets which also include retail, parking and other uses. Land development and sales operations are predominantly related to large-scale, long-term community developments. The proportionate revenues of the Company's lines of business are summarized as follows:
1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Retail centers 61% 73% 73% Office, mixed-use and other properties 22 22 22 Land sales 17 5 5 ---- ---- ---- Total 100% 100% 100% ==== ==== ====
(b) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Rouse Company, all subsidiaries and partnerships in which it has a majority interest and control and the Company's proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of unincorporated real estate ventures in which it has joint interest and control with other venturers. Investments in other ventures are accounted for using the equity or cost methods as appropriate in the circumstances. Significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. Significant estimates are inherent in the preparation of the Company's historical cost basis financial statements in a number of areas, including evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets (including operating properties to be held and used, investment land and land held for development and sale), determination of useful lives of assets subject to depreciation or amortization, evaluation of collectibility of accounts and notes receivable, measurement of pension and postretirement obligations and evaluation of whether deferred tax assets will be realized. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation for 1996. (c) PROPERTY In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." Statement No. 121 establishes new standards for measurement and recognition of impairment of long- lived assets. Initial adoption of the Statement by the Company in 1996 did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations reported by the Company. Properties to be developed or held and used in operations are carried at cost reduced for impairment losses, where appropriate. Properties held for sale are carried at cost reduced for valuation allowances, where appropriate. Acquisition, development and construction costs of operating properties, properties in development and land development projects are capitalized including, where applicable, salaries and related costs, real estate taxes, interest and preconstruction costs. The preconstruction stage of development of an operating property (or an expansion of an existing property) includes efforts and related costs to secure land control and zoning, evaluate feasibility and complete other initial tasks which are essential to development. These costs are transferred to construction and development in progress when the precon- 33 struction tasks are completed. Provision is made for potentially unsuccessful preconstruction efforts by charges to operations. Costs of significant improvements, replacements and renovations at operating properties are capitalized, while costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Certain costs associated with financing and leasing of operating properties are capitalized as deferred costs and amortized over the periods benefited by the expenditures. Depreciation of operating properties is computed using the straight-line method. The annual rate of depreciation for most of the Company's retail centers is based on a 55-year composite life and a salvage value of approximately 10%, producing an effective annual rate of depreciation for new properties of 1.6%. The other retail centers, all office buildings and other properties are generally depreciated using composite lives of 40 years producing an effective annual rate of depreciation for such properties of 2.5%. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an operating property to be held and used or a land development project may be impaired, a recoverability analysis is performed based on estimated nondiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the property or project. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, the property or project is written down to estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of their carrying value (i.e., cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss recognized, where applicable) or estimated fair value less costs to sell. The net carrying values of operating properties are classified as properties held for sale when marketing of the properties for sale is authorized by management. Depreciation of these properties is discontinued at that time, but operating revenues, interest and other operating expenses continue to be recognized until the time of sale. (d) SALES OF PROPERTY Gains from sales of operating properties and revenues from land sales are recognized using the full accrual method provided that various criteria relating to the terms of the transactions and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties sold are met. Gains or revenues relating to transactions which do not meet the established criteria are deferred and recognized when the criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate in the circumstances. For land sale transactions under terms of which the Company is required to perform additional services and incur significant costs after title has passed, revenues and costs of sales are recognized proportionately on a percentage of completion basis. Cost of land sales is generally determined as a specified percentage of land sales recognized for each land development project. The cost percentages used are based on estimates of development costs and sales revenues to completion of each project and are revised periodically for changes in estimates or in development plans. The specific identification method is used to determine cost of sales of certain parcels of land. (e) LEASES Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to tenants are considered finance leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments and the estimated residual values of the leased properties, if any, are accounted for as receivables. Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to the Company are considered capital leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments are accounted for as property and debt. Direct costs of negotiating and consummating tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. In general, minimum rent revenues are recognized when due from tenants; however, estimated collectible minimum rent revenues under leases which provide for varying rents over their terms are averaged over the terms of the leases. (f) INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts 34 are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other factors. The effects of changes in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. (g) INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company's investment policy defines authorized investments and establishes various limitations on the maturities, credit quality and amounts of investments held. Authorized investments include U.S. government and agency obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, money market mutual funds and corporate debt and equity securities. Investments with maturities at dates of purchase in excess of three months are classified as marketable securities and carried at amortized cost as it is the Company's intention to hold these investments until maturity. Short-term investments with maturities at dates of purchase of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents, except that any such investments purchased with the proceeds of loans which may be expended only for specified purposes are classified as investments in marketable securities. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, investments in marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. government and agency obligations with maturities of less than one year which are held for restricted uses. (h) INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS The Company makes limited use of interest rate exchange agreements, including interest rate caps and swaps, primarily to manage interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt. Under interest rate cap agreements, the Company makes initial premium payments to the counterparties in exchange for the right to receive payments from them if interest rates on the related variable rate debt exceed specified levels during the agreement period. Premiums paid are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the agreements using the interest method and payments receivable from the counterparties are accrued as reductions of interest expense. Under interest rate swap agreements, the Company and the counterparties agree to exchange the difference between fixed rate and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to specified notional principal amounts during the agreement period. Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less. Amounts receivable or payable under swap agreements are accounted for as adjustments to interest expense on the related debt. Parties to interest rate exchange agreements are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and risk of credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. The Company does not require any collateral under these arrangements but deals only with highly rated financial institution counterparties (which, in certain cases, are also the lenders on the related debt) and does not expect that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. (i) OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair values of financial instruments approximate their carrying value in the financial statements except for debt and related interest rate exchange agreements for which fair value information is provided in note 9. (j) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings (loss), after deducting dividends on Preferred stock, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The numbers of shares used in the computations were 55,572,000 for 1996, 47,814,000 for 1995, and 47,565,000 for 1994. Common stock equivalents have not been used in computing earnings (loss) per common share because their effects are not material or are anti-dilutive. 35 (k) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee compensation plans. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized for awards of shares of common stock to employees only if the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date, if later) is greater than the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Statement No. 123 permits companies to adopt a new fair value- based method to account for stock-based employee compensation plans or to continue using the intrinsic value method. Information concerning the pro forma effects on net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share of common stock of using a fair value-based method to account for stock-based compensation plans, as permitted by Statement No. 123, is provided in note 15. (3) ACQUISITION OF THE HUGHES CORPORATION AND RELATED MATTERS On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in The Hughes Corporation and its affiliated partnership, Howard Hughes Properties, Limited Partnership (together, "Hughes"). In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 7,742,884 shares of common stock valued at $178,086,000 and incurred or assumed debt and other liabilities of $370,486,000 (net of certain receivables and other current assets acquired). As discussed in note 15, additional shares of common stock (or, in certain circumstances, Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock) may be issued to the former Hughes owners or their successors pursuant to terms of a Contingent Stock Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The total purchase cost approximated the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired which consist primarily of a regional shopping center and a large-scale, master-planned community in Las Vegas, Nevada, and four large-scale, master-planned business parks and various other properties in Nevada and Southern California. The consolidated cost basis statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 includes revenues and costs and expenses from the date of acquisition. The Company's unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31,1996 and 1995, assuming the acquisition of Hughes occurred on January 1, 1995, are summarized as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
1996 1995 -------- -------- Revenues $883,686 $956,094 Earnings before extraordinary losses 20,990 29,504 Net earnings 19,537 20,873 Earnings per share of common stock after dividends on Preferred stock: Earnings before extraordinary losses .17 .26 Net earnings .15 .11 ======== ========
The unaudited pro forma revenues and earnings summarized above are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 1995 or of future results of operations of the combined companies. (4) REAL ESTATE VENTURES The Company has joint interest and control with other venturers in various operating properties which are accounted for using the proportionate share method. These projects are managed by the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the Company's proportionate share of its historical cost of these projects and depreciation based on the Company's depreciation policies which differ, in certain cases, from those of the joint ventures. 36 The condensed, combined balance sheets of these ventures and the Company's proportionate share of their assets, liabilities and equity at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the condensed, combined statements of earnings of these ventures and the Company's proportionate share of their revenues and expenses for 1996, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

The Company holds minority interests in certain real estate ventures which are accounted for using the equity or cost methods, as appropriate. Most of these projects are managed by the Company and the agreements relating to them generally provide for preference returns to the Company when operating results or sale or refinancing proceeds exceed specified levels. The condensed, combined balance sheets of these ventures at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and their condensed combined statements of earnings for 1996, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

37 Depreciation expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $66,689,000, $59,247,000, and $59,914,000, respectively. Amortization expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $13,301,000, $13,815,000, and $14,272,000, respectively. Properties in development include construction and development in progress and preconstruction costs, net. The construction and development in progress accounts include land and land improvements of $41,032,000 at December 31, 1996 and $16,056,000 at December 31, 1995. Changes in preconstruction costs, net, for 1996 and 1995 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Revenues relating to properties held for sale were $29,600,000 in 1996 and $8,355,000 in 1995, and operating losses relating to these properties were $810,500 in 1996 and $1,174,000 in 1995. All of the properties held for sale at December 31, 1996 are expected to be sold in 1997. Investment land and land held for development and sale at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 -------- -------- Land under development $ 87,301 $ 49,106 Finished land 59,913 45,388 Raw land 96,903 39,589 -------- -------- Total $244,117 $134,083 ======== ========
(6) ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE Accounts and notes receivable at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 -------- -------- Accounts receivable, primarily accrued rents and income under tenant leases $ 67,527 $ 58,916 Notes receivable from sales of properties 16,929 1,900 Notes receivable from sales of land 36,066 403 -------- -------- 120,522 61,219 Less allowance for doubtful receivables 28,153 24,468 -------- -------- Total $ 92,369 $ 36,751 ======== ========
Accounts and notes receivable due after one year were $41,654,000 and $13,967,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 38 Credit risk with respect to receivables from tenants is not highly concentrated due to the large number of tenants and the geographic diversification of the Company's operating properties. The Company performs credit evaluations of prospective new tenants and requires security deposits in certain circumstances. Tenants' compliance with the terms of their leases is monitored closely, and the allowance for doubtful receivables is established based on analyses of the risk of loss on specific tenant accounts, historical trends and other relevant information. Notes receivable from sales of land are primarily due from builders operating at the Company's Summerlin project in Las Vegas. The Company performs credit evaluations of the builders and requires substantial down payments (20% or more) on all land sales that it finances. These notes and notes from sales of operating properties are generally secured by first liens on the related properties. (7) PENSION PLANS The Company has a defined benefit pension plan (the "funded plan") covering substantially all employees. The Company's policy is to fund, at a minimum, current service costs and amortization of unfunded accrued liabilities subject to the limits of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Company has separate, nonqualified unfunded retirement plans (the "unfunded plans") covering directors and employees whose defined benefits exceed the limits of the funded plan. Benefits under the pension plans are based on the participants' years of service and compensation. The net pension cost includes the following components (in thousands):
1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- Service cost $ 2,989 $ 2,382 $ 2,904 Interest cost on projected benefit obligations 3,107 3,309 3,425 Actual return on funded plan assets (4,997) (5,422) (1,930) Other, net 4,022 3,262 927 -------- -------- -------- Net pension cost $ 5,121 $ 3,531 $ 5,326 ======== ======== ========
The funded status of the pension plans at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 ------------------ ------------------ Funded Unfunded Funded Unfunded Plan Plans Plan Plans -------- -------- -------- -------- Accumulated benefit obligations: Vested $ 30,589 $ 2,610 $ 31,045 $ 4,658 Nonvested 3,386 193 2,983 393 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total $ 33,975 $ 2,803 $ 34,028 $ 5,051 ======== ======== ======== ======== Projected benefit obligations $ 38,567 $ 4,322 $ 38,808 $ 6,801 Plan assets at fair value (38,990) -- (34,084) -- -------- -------- -------- -------- Excess of projected benefit obligations over plan assets (423) 4,322 4,724 6,801 Unamortized prior service cost (1,888) (2,081) (2,124) (3,067) Unrecognized net loss (8,513) (330) (10,783) (1,077) Unrecognized net obligation at January 1, 1987, net of amortization (598) (676) (664) (810) Additional minimum liability -- 1,568 -- 3,204 -------- -------- -------- -------- Accrued (prepaid) pension cost $(11,422) $ 2,803 $ (8,847) $ 5,051 ======== ======== ======== ========
The projected benefit obligations for the plans were determined using discount rates of 7.75% and 7.25% in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The rate of compensation increases assumed was 4.5% in 1996 and 1995. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of the funded plan was 8% in 1996 and 11% in 1995. The assets of the funded plan consist primarily of pooled separate accounts with an insurance company and marketable equity securities. 39 The Company also has a deferred compensation program which permits directors and certain management employees to defer portions of their compensation on a pretax basis. The participants designate the investment of the deferred funds, based on various alternatives, and under certain of the plans, the Company matches a percentage of the participants' contributions in common stock. Total deferred compensation liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $6,584,000 and $4,416,000, respectively. (8) OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company has a retiree benefits plan that provides postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to full-time employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. The Company pays a portion of the cost of participants' life insurance coverage and makes contributions based on years of service to the cost of participants' medical insurance coverage, subject to a maximum annual contribution.
The postretirement benefit cost includes the following components (in thousands): 1996 1995 1994 ------ ------- ------ Service cost $ 640 $ 607 $ 741 Interest cost on accumulated benefit obligation 932 853 823 Amortization of transition obligation at January 1, 1993 333 484 485 Amortization of net gain -- (26) -- ------ ------ ------ Net postretirement benefit cost $1,905 $1,918 $2,049 ====== ====== ======
The status of the postretirement benefit plan at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 ------- ------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $ 8,475 $ 3,195 Other fully eligible participants 1,514 1,720 Other active participants 6,138 8,186 ------- ------- 16,127 13,101 Unrecognized net gain (loss) 987 (502) Unrecognized transition obligation (5,331) (8,235) ------- ------- Accrued postretirement benefit cost $11,783 $ 4,364 ======= =======
The net increase in the accrued postretirement benefit cost in 1996 includes the effects of the admission of former employees of Hughes to the plan (with credit for prior service) and an amendment to the plan to reduce the Company's share of life insurance premium costs effective January 1, 1996. The weighted average discount rates used to determine the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation were 7.75% and 7.25% in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The transition obligation at January 1, 1993 is being amortized to postretirement benefit cost over 20 years. Because the Company's contributions are fixed, health care cost trend rates do not affect the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. (9) DEBT In recognition of the various characteristics of real estate financing, debt is classified as follows: (a) "Property debt not carrying a Parent Company guarantee of repayment" which is subsidiary company debt having no express written obligation which would require the Company to repay the principal amount of such debt during the full term of the loan (nonrecourse loans); and (b) "Parent Company debt and debt carrying a Parent Company guarantee of repayment" which is debt of the Company and subsidiary company debt with an express written obligation of the Company to repay the principal amount of such debt during the full term of the loan (Company and recourse loans). With respect to nonrecourse loans, the Company has in the past and may in the future, under some circumstances, support those subsidiary companies whose annual obligations, including debt service, exceed operating revenues. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, nonrecourse loans include $475,754,000 and $443,440,000, respectively, of mortgages and bonds relating to operating properties of subsidiary companies which are subject to agreements with 40 lenders requiring the Company to provide support for operating and debt service costs, where necessary, for defined periods or until specified conditions relating to the operating results of the properties are met. Debt at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 ---------- ---------- Mortgages and bonds $2,279,971 $1,997,998 Convertible subordinated debentures 130,000 130,000 Medium-term notes 115,300 100,300 Credit line borrowings 64,000 -- Other loans 245,975 251,231 ---------- ---------- Total $2,835,246 $2,479,529 ========== ==========
Mortgages and bonds are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages on properties and general assignments of rents. This debt matures at various dates through 2025 and, at December 31, 1996, bears interest at a weighted average effective rate of 8.68%, including lender participations. At December 31, 1996, approximately $594,482,000 of this debt is subject to payment of additional interest based on the operating results of the related properties in excess of stated levels. In addition, certain of this debt provides for payments to lenders of shares of the related properties' residual values, if any, upon sale or refinancing or at maturity. At December 31, 1996, approximately $1,035,000,000 of the mortgages and bonds were payable to one lender. The convertible subordinated debentures bear interest at 5.75% and mature in 2002. The debentures are convertible at the option of holders into one share of common stock for each $28.63 of par value and are redeemable at the option of the Company at any time at a price equal to par value plus accrued interest. The Company has registered $150,000,000 of unsecured, medium-term notes which may be issued to the public from time to time. The notes may be issued, subject to market conditions, for varying terms (nine months to 30 years) and at fixed or variable interest rates based on market indices at the time of issuance. The notes outstanding at December 31, 1996, mature at various dates from 1997 to 2015, bear interest at a weighted average effective rate of 7.52% (including an average rate of 6.36% on $43,800,000 of variable rate notes) and have a weighted average maturity of 5.6 years. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have credit lines from banks and other lenders aggregating $248,120,000, including outstanding borrowings at December 31, 1996. These credit lines are unsecured, bear interest at variable rates based on specified market indices and may be used for various purposes, including land and project development costs, property acquisitions and other corporate needs, subject to specific use limitations and/or lender approvals in certain cases. The credit line borrowings outstanding at December 31, 1996, are due at various dates in 1999 and 2000 and bear interest at a weighted average effective rate of 6.96%. Other loans include $120,000,000 of 8.5% unsecured notes due in 2003, various property acquisition and land loans and certain other borrowings. These loans include aggregate unsecured borrowings of $209,705,000 and $229,372,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and at December 31, 1996, bear interest at a weighted average effective rate of 8.76%. The agreements relating to the medium-term notes, certain of the lines of credit, the 8.5% unsecured notes, and certain other loans impose limitations on the Company. The most restrictive of these limit the Company's ability to incur certain types of additional debt if the Company does not maintain specified debt service coverage ratios. The agreements also impose restrictions on sale, lease and certain other transactions, subject to various exclusions and limitations. These restrictions have not limited the Company's normal business activities. 41 The annual maturities of debt at December 31, 1996 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Nonrecourse Company and Loans Recourse Loans Total ----------- -------------- ---------- 1997 $ 113,218 $ 11,307 $ 124,525 1998 70,726 22,624 93,350 1999 174,884 32,824 207,708 2000 171,099 58,285 229,384 2001 130,733 40,838 171,571 Subsequent to 2001 1,629,746 378,962 2,008,708 ---------- --------- ---------- Total $2,290,406 $544,840 $2,835,246 ========== ========= ==========
The nonrecourse loans maturing in 1997 include two retail center mortgages aggregating $58,250,000 due in the second quarter. The Company is in the process of obtaining securitized mortgage loans to refinance these loans and has received a commitment from a lender for an interim loan for up to six months pending completion of the securitized loans. The Company expects to repay the mortgages at their scheduled maturity date. At December 31, 1996, the Company had interest rate cap agreements which effectively limit the average interest rate on $66,050,000 of mortgages to 9.72% through April 1997. The Company also had an interest rate cap agreement related to a line of credit. The agreement effectively limits the interest rate on advances up to $55,000,000 to 10% through April 1998 and to 9.08% on advances up to $60,000,000 thereafter until April 1999. The interest rate swap agreements outstanding at December 31, 1996 were not material. Interest rate exchange agreements did not have a material effect on the weighted average effective interest rates on debt at December 31, 1996 and 1995 or interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. Total interest costs were $230,960,000 in 1996, $219,838,000 in 1995, and $220,971,000 in 1994 of which $10,579,000, $6,875,000, and $7,388,000 were capitalized, respectively. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company incurred extraordinary losses, related to extinguishments of debt prior to scheduled maturity or required partial early redemptions of debt of $2,236,000, $13,278,000, and $6,824,000, respectively, less related deferred income tax benefits of $783,000, $4,647,000, and $2,377,000, respectively. The sources of funds used to pay the debt and fund the prepayment penalties, where applicable, were provided by refinancings of properties, the medium-term notes and the Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities issued in 1995 and the 8.5% unsecured notes and Preferred stock issued in 1993. The estimated fair value of debt is determined based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality. The estimated future payments include scheduled principal and interest payments, cash flows under interest rate exchange agreements, where applicable, and lenders' participations in operating results and residual values of the related properties, where applicable. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's debt at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 ---------------------- ---------------------- Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value --------- ---------- --------- ---------- Fixed rate debt $2,405,382 $2,466,854 $2,195,137 $2,249,968 Variable rate debt 429,864 429,864 284,392 284,392 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $2,835,246 $2,896,718 $2,479,529 $2,534,360 ========== ========== ========== ==========
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement of the Company's debt obligations at fair value may not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision. 42 (10) COMPANY-OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES The redeemable preferred securities consist of 5,500,000 Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities (preferred securities), with a liquidation amount of $25 per security, which were issued in November 1995 by a statutory business trust that is wholly-owned by the Company. The trust used the proceeds of the preferred securities and other assets to purchase at par $141,753,000 of junior subordinated debentures (debentures) of the Company due in November 2025, which are the sole assets of the trust. Payments to be made by the trust on the preferred securities are dependent on payments that the Company has undertaken to make, particularly the payments to be made by the Company on the debentures. Compliance by the Company with its undertakings, taken together, would have the effect of providing a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the trust's obligations under the preferred securities. Distributions on the preferred securities are payable from interest payments received on the debentures and are due quarterly at a rate of 9.25% of the liquidation amount, subject to deferral for up to five years under certain conditions. Distributions payable are included in operating expenses. Redemptions of the preferred securities are payable at the liquidation amount from redemption payments received on the debentures. The Company may redeem the debentures at par at any time after November 27, 2000, but redemptions at or prior to maturity are payable only from the proceeds of issuance of capital stock of the Company or of securities substantially comparable in economic effect to the preferred securities. (11) OPERATING RESULTS AND ASSETS BY LINE OF BUSINESS Operating results before gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, income taxes and extraordinary losses are summarized by line of business as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- Operating properties: Revenues $690,569 $636,646 $633,047 Operating expenses, exclusive of provision for bad debts, depreciation and amortization 345,863 313,525 322,278 Interest expense 205,750 197,249 196,690 Provision for bad debts 3,688 3,318 5,185 Depreciation and amortization 79,990 73,062 74,186 -------- -------- -------- 55,278 49,492 34,708 -------- -------- -------- Land sales: Revenues 137,853 33,403 35,232 Operating costs and expenses 107,787 17,827 19,877 Interest expense 1,658 5,071 5,028 -------- -------- -------- 28,408 10,505 10,327 -------- -------- -------- Development: Operating costs and expenses 4,964 7,288 6,494 Interest expense 361 358 495 -------- -------- -------- (5,325) (7,646) (6,989) -------- -------- -------- Corporate: Interest income 3,495 2,772 2,892 Interest expense 12,612 10,285 11,370 Other expenses 9,752 8,920 8,309 -------- -------- -------- (18,869) (16,433) (16,787) -------- -------- -------- Operating income $ 59,492 $ 35,918 $ 21,259 ======== ======== ========

1996 1995 -------- -------- Total deferred tax liabilities $355,182 $299,717 Total deferred tax assets 220,388 218,068 -------- -------- Net deferred tax liability $134,794 $ 81,649 ======== ========
The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that are included in the net deferred tax liability at December 31, 1996 and 1995 relate to the following (in thousands):
1996 1995 --------- --------- Property, primarily differences in depreciation and amortization, the tax basis of acquired assets and treatment of interest and certain other costs $ 329,413 $ 273,585 Accounts and notes receivable, primarily differences in timing of recognition of rent revenues and doubtful receivables 4,368 5,684 Accrued expenses, primarily differences in timing of recognition of interest, compensation and pension expenses 4,296 (4,925) Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards (203,283) (192,695) --------- -------- Total $ 134,794 $ 81,649 ========= =========
The net operating losses carried forward from December 31, 1996 for Federal income tax purposes aggregate approximately $568,000,000. As indicated above, the deferred tax assets relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 1998, and the ultimate realization of these assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income to use the loss carryforwards before they expire. Based on projections of future taxable income over the loss carryfoward period (which projections reflect, among other things, the effects of numerous significant transactions completed in the last several years, including debt refinancings and restructurings for various properties, acquisitions/expansions of new and existing properties and dispositions of several properties that were generating operating losses) and the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (particularly those relating to depreciation 44 of property), management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 1996. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced, however, if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. (13) GAIN (LOSS) ON DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS AND OTHER PROVISIONS, NET Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, is summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- ------- Litigation judgment $ 8,716 $(12,321) $ -- Net loss on operating properties (25,903) (13,210) (7,496) Other, net 1,300 (218) (427) -------- -------- ------- Total $(15,887) $(25,749) $(7,923) ======== ======== =======
The litigation judgment relates to the matter involving a former tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center discussed in note 17. In 1996, a portion of the provision recorded in 1995 was reversed following settlement of the matter. The net loss on operating properties in 1996 relates primarily to provisions for losses recognized on five retail centers the Company decided to sell. The net loss on operating properties in 1995 relates primarily to provisions for losses recognized on four retail centers the Company decided to sell ($15,589,000). These provisions were partially offset by a gain on disposition of a retail center ($2,379,000). The net loss on operating properties in 1994 relates primarily to losses incurred on dispositions of interests in two retail centers, a hotel and an office building ($8,045,000) and a provision for loss on an industrial building ($2,212,000). These losses were partially offset by a gain on disposition of an interest in a retail center ($2,761,000). (14) PREFERRED STOCK The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of Preferred stock of 1c par value per share of which (a) 4,505,168 shares have been classified as Series A Convertible Preferred; (b) 10,000,000 shares have been classified as Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred; and (c) 37,362 shares have been classified as 10.25% Junior Preferred, Series 1996. In February 1997, 4,600,000 shares were classified as Series B Convertible Preferred and 4,000,000 of these shares were issued (see note 18). The Company sold 4,025,000 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock in a public offering in 1993 and issued 480,168 shares valued at $23,000,000 in 1994 in connection with a modification of terms of a debt agreement related to a retail center. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock had a liquidation preference of $50 per share and earned dividends at an annual rate of 6.5% of the liquidation preference. Each share was convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of approximately 2.35 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred stock, subject to certain conditions. On September 30, 1996, the Company redeemed all of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock. In 1996 and 1995, the Company issued 10,598,721 and 75 shares respectively, of common stock in exchange for 4,504,579 and 32 shares, respectively, of Series A Convertible Preferred stock. If all of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock had been converted to shares of common stock on January 1, 1994, the pro forma earnings (loss) per share of common stock would have been $0.26 in 1996, $(0.05) in 1995 and $0.04 in 1994. Shares of the Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred stock are issuable only to former Hughes owners or their successors pursuant to the Contingent Stock Agreement described in note 15. These shares are issuable only in limited circumstances, and at December 31, 1996, no shares of Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred stock were outstanding. There were also no shares of 10.25% Junior Preferred stock, Series 1996, outstanding at December 31, 1996. 45 (15) COMMON STOCK At December 31, 1996, shares of authorized and unissued common stock are reserved as follows: (a) 19,801,763 shares for issuance under the Contingent Stock Agreement discussed below; (b) 3,151,084 shares for issuance under the Company's stock option and stock bonus plans; (c) 4,540,692 shares for conversion of the convertible subordinated debentures; and (d) 500,000 shares for exercise of the warrants discussed below. In connection with the acquisition of Hughes, the Company entered into a Contingent Stock Agreement for the benefit of the former Hughes owners or their successors (the beneficiaries). Under terms of the agreement, additional shares of common stock (or in certain circumstances, Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock) are issuable to the beneficiaries based on the appraised values of four defined groups of assets acquired in the purchase of Hughes at specified "termination dates" from 2000 to 2009 and/or cash flows generated from the development and/or sale of those assets prior to the termination dates (the "earnout periods"). The distributions of additional shares, based on cash flows, are payable semiannually as of June 30 and December 31 and, at December 31, 1996, a distribution of approximately 591,000 shares ($16,697,000) was payable to the beneficiaries. The Contingent Stock Agreement is, in substance, an arrangement under which the Company and the beneficiaries will share in cash flows from development and/or sale of the defined assets during their respective earnout periods and the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to the beneficiaries based on the value, if any, of the defined asset groups at the termination dates. The Company accounts for the beneficiaries' share of earnings from the assets subject to the Contingent Stock Agreement as an operating expense and will account for any distributions to the beneficiaries as of the termination dates as an additional cost to acquire the related assets (i.e., contingent consideration). At the time of acquisition of Hughes, the Company reserved 20,000,000 shares of common stock for possible issuance under the Contingent Stock Agreement. The number of shares reserved was determined based on conservative estimates in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. The actual number of shares issuable will be determinable only from events occurring over the term of the Agreement and could differ significantly from the number of shares reserved. Under the Company's stock option plans, options to purchase shares of common stock and stock appreciation rights may be awarded to directors, officers and employees. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock on the date of grant, typically vest over a three- to five-year period, subject to certain conditions, and have a maximum term of ten years. The Company has not granted any stock appreciation rights. A summary of changes in options outstanding under the plans is as follows:

A summary of information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 1996 is as follows:
Options Outstanding Options Exercisable ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Weighted- Range of average Weighted- Weighted- Exercise Remaining average average Prices Shares Life (Years) Exercise Price Shares Exercise Price - ----------------- --------- ------------ -------------- ----------- ---------------- $13.50 to $19.875 1,931,279 7.4 $18.38 755,344 $17.75 $23.75 to $27.00 834,500 4.4 24.34 694,500 24.21 --------- ------- ---------- ----------- ---------- 2,765,779 6.5 $20.18 1,449,844 $20.84 ========= ======= ========== =========== ==========
46 At December 31, 1995 and 1994, options to purchase 1,229,000 and 1,063,000 shares, respectively, were exercisable at weighted average prices of $21.50 and $20.96, respectively. The per share weighted-average estimated fair value of options granted during 1996 and 1995 was $5.44 and $5.24, respectively. These fair values were estimated on the dates of each grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 6.0% in 1996 and 7.2% in 1995; dividend yield of 4% in both years; expected lives of 7 years in both years; and volatility of 28% in both years. The option prices were equal to the market prices at the date of grant for all of the options granted in 1996 and 1995 and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options in the financial statements. If the Company had applied a fair value-based method to account for options granted, net earnings for 1996 would have been $15,369,000 ($.09 per share of common stock) and the net loss for 1995 would have been $3,036,000 ($.37 per share of common stock). The pro forma amounts reflect only options granted in 1996 and 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under a fair value-based method is not reflected in the pro forma amounts because compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting periods and compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not required to be considered. Under the Company's stock bonus plans, shares of common stock may be awarded to officers and employees. Shares awarded under the plans are typically subject to forfeiture restrictions which lapse at defined annual rates. Awards granted in 1996 and 1995 aggregated 415,000 and 200,000 shares, respectively, with a weighted average market value per share of $20.99 and $18.63, respectively. In connection with the stock bonus plan awards, the Company typically makes loans to the recipients for the payment of related income taxes, which loans are forgiven in installments subject to the recipients' continued employment. The total loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $6,565,000 and $3,829,000, respectively. The Company recognizes any forgiven loan installments, amortization of the fair value of the stock awarded and certain related costs as compensation costs over the terms of the awards. Such costs amounted to $4,923,000 in 1996, $2,763,000 in 1995 and $1,663,000 in 1994. In 1992, seven investors acquired 8,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in a private placement from a stockholder. Stock warrants allowing the seller to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $18 per share until September 1997 were issued by the Company to facilitate the transaction. (16) LEASES The Company, as lessee, has entered into operating leases expiring at various dates through 2076. Rents under such leases aggregated $9,648,000 in 1996, $9,421,000 in 1995, and $11,927,000 in 1994, including contingent rents, based on the operating performance of the related properties, of $3,844,000, $3,644,000, and $6,232,000, respectively. In addition, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses are obligations of the Company. The minimum rent payments due under operating leases in effect at December 31, 1996 are summarized as follows (in thousands): 1997 $ 5,744 1998 5,687 1999 5,663 2000 5,672 2001 5,680 Subsequent to 2001 237,851 -------- Total $266,297 ========
Obligations under capital leases relate to the Company's headquarters building and certain operating properties and equipment. The property and other asset accounts include costs of $67,718,000 and $66,790,000 and accumulated depreciation of $19,632,000 and $19,531,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, related to these leases. The mini- 47 mum rent payments due under capital leases and their present value at December 31, 1996 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
1997 $ 9,898 1998 9,250 1999 8,620 2000 8,239 2001 7,906 Subsequent to 2001 187,901 --------- 231,814 Imputed interest at rates ranging from 8.49% to 13.0% (171,613) --------- Obligations under capital leases $ 60,201 =========
Space in the Company's operating properties is leased to approximately 6,400 tenants. In addition to minimum rents, the majority of the retail center leases provide for percentage rents when the tenants' sales volumes exceed stated amounts, and the majority of the retail center and office leases provide for other rents which reimburse the Company for certain of its operating expenses. Rents from tenants are summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- Minimum rents $348,296 $310,149 $303,425 Percentage rents 14,830 15,362 17,144 Other rents 223,949 217,037 220,532 -------- -------- -------- Total $587,075 $542,548 $541,101 ======== ======== ========
The minimum rents to be received from tenants under operating leases in effect at December 31, 1996 are summarized as follows (in thousands): 1997 $ 352,048 1998 305,798 1999 271,053 2000 238,937 2001 199,534 Subsequent to 2001 566,794 ---------- Total $1,934,164 ==========
Certain of the Company's tenant leases are accounted for as finance leases since the terms of the leases transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership to the tenants. Rents under such leases aggregated $9,645,000 in 1996, $8,780,000 in 1995, and $8,511,000 in 1994. The net investment in finance leases at December 31, 1996 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 -------- -------- Total minimum rent payments to be received over lease terms $178,275 $167,050 Estimated residual values of leased properties 7,567 3,123 Unearned income (90,966) (88,541) -------- -------- Net investment in finance leases $ 94,876 $ 81,632 ======== ========
The minimum rent payments to be received from tenants under finance leases in effect at December 31, 1996 are $10,551,000, $10,626,000, $10,643,000, $10,729,000 and $11,480,000 for 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. 48 (17) OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments for the construction and development of land and properties in the ordinary course of business and other commitments not set forth elsewhere amount to approximately $47,000,000 at December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, subsidiaries of the Company have contingent liabilities of approximately $21,320,000 with respect to future minimum rents under long- term lease obligations of certain joint ventures and approximately $4,069,000 with respect to bank letters of credit issued to secure their obligations under certain agreements. In addition, the Company had contingent liabilities with respect to debt of certain joint ventures aggregating approximately $19,824,000. On November 6, 1990, Robert P. Guastella Equities, Inc. ("Plaintiff"), a former tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center in New Orleans, Louisiana ("Riverwalk"), which is owned and operated by New Orleans Riverwalk Associates, an affiliate of the Company ("NORA"), filed suit in the Civil District Court of Orleans Parish, Louisiana against NORA, the Company, two Company affiliates, and a partner of NORA (collectively, "Defendants"). Plaintiff alleged that Defendants breached Plaintiff's lease agreement with NORA for the operation of a restaurant at Riverwalk and that as a result of these breaches it suffered losses and could not pay the rentals due under the lease agreement, as a result of which the lease and its tenancy were terminated by NORA. Plaintiff sought damages of approximately $600,000 for these alleged breaches. In addition, on September 3, 1992, Plaintiff claimed $33,000,000 for alleged lost future profits which it claimed it would have earned had its lease not been terminated. The Defendants filed answers denying the claims of Plaintiff and asserting other defenses. NORA also asserted a counterclaim against Plaintiff and its individual guarantors for past due rentals and other charges in the approximate amount of $300,000 plus interest and attorneys' fees as provided for in the lease agreement. The case was tried before a jury and, on October 28, 1993, the jury returned a verdict against Defendants upon which judgment was entered by the trial court on January 7, 1994, in the total net amount of approximately $9,128,000 (including a net award for lost future profits of approximately $8,640,000) plus interest and attorneys' fees. On May 6, 1994, the trial court denied all post-trial motions of both Plaintiff and Defendants. The trial court also entered an amended judgment in which it awarded the Plaintiff $450,000 in attorneys' fees and awarded Defendants $25,000 in attorneys' fees. On May 23, 1994, Defendants appealed this judgment to the Louisiana Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit. On November 16, 1995, the Louisiana Court of Appeal reduced the judgment by $240,000, but otherwise affirmed the damage award to Plaintiff. Defendants subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration with the Louisiana Court of Appeal, which was denied on December 19, 1995. On January 18, 1996, Defendants filed a petition requesting the Louisiana Supreme Court to consider a further appeal of this judgment. On April 8, 1996, the Louisiana Supreme Court granted Defendants' petition. Subsequently, the parties entered into settlement discussions which culminated in a July 25, 1996 Settlement Agreement which dismissed all claims and counterclaims with prejudice. The Company recorded a pre-tax provision in the amount of $12,321,000 in 1995, representing the full amount of the modified award (including attorneys' fees) plus interest, less pre-tax provisions previously recorded totaling $1,150,000. Additional provisions for interest totaling $295,000 were recorded in the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Company satisfied its financial and other obligations under the Settlement Agreement in July 1996 and reversed $8,716,000 of the previously recorded provision for loss on this matter in the third quarter of 1996. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various other litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. Some of these litigation matters are covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for losses with respect to all litigation matters, where appropriate, and the ultimate resolution of all such litigation matters is not likely to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. Due to the Company's modest and fluctuating net earnings (loss) it is not possible to predict whether the resolution of these matters is likely to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated net earnings (loss) and it is, therefore, possible that the resolution of these matters could have such a material effect in any future quarter or year. On December 14, 1996, Riverwalk Shopping Center was struck by a grain freighter, causing significant damage to the property and requiring the Company to close the entire retail 49 center for a period of several weeks. Work to repair the property damage is in process, and substantially all of the repair costs will be covered by related insurance. There is also insurance covering loss of tenant rental revenues as result of this incident. Due to uncertainties as to when certain tenants will be able to reopen for business and how certain portions of the loss will be measured, it is not possible to estimate the amount of this claim at this time; however, the ultimate resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. In connection with the acquisition of Hughes, the Company obtained minority, limited partner interests in two partnerships which own a property known as Playa Vista in Los Angeles, California. The partnerships are in the preliminary stages of developing a master-planned community on the property (which includes approximately 1,100 acres of land) and have experienced significant financial losses. As a result, the partners have been involved in extensive negotiations with lenders and others to restructure and recapitalize the partnerships. Under the partnership agreements, the Company is not required to make additional capital contributions to the partnerships and has no obligations, fixed or contingent, with respect to their business, properties or other assets. Under the Contingent Stock Agreement, the Company is obligated to make payments of $10,000,000 with respect to Playa Vista. These payments may be in the form of contributions to the partnerships (subject to certain conditions) or, if aggregate contributions are less than $10,000,000 at the date the obligation terminates, the balance is distributable in stock to the beneficiaries pursuant to the Agreement. The Company recorded the obligation under the Agreement in accounting for the purchase of Hughes and, at December 31, 1996, the unpaid balance was approximately $8,963,000. While the outcome of the partnerships' negotiations with lenders and others is not predictable, the Company's obligations with respect to Playa Vista are limited as described above and the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. (18) SUBSEQUENT EVENT In February 1997, the Company registered to sell up to an aggregate of $500,000,000 (based on the public offering price) of common stock, Preferred stock and debt securities. The stock and debt may be issued from time to time at prices, in amounts and on terms to be determined at the time of offering. In February 1997, pursuant to this registration, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred stock in a public offering. The shares of Preferred stock have a liquidation value of $50 per share (an aggregate of $200,000,000 for the issued shares) and earn dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the liquidation preference. At the option of the holders, each share of the Preferred stock is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of approximately 1.311 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In addition, beginning April 1, 2000, the shares of Preferred stock are redeemable for shares of common stock at the option of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The net proceeds of the offering of approximately $194,600,000 are to be used primarily for new development projects, retail center expansions and/or acquisitions and to repay property debt. Any remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and, until required for development or acquisition opportunities, a portion of the net proceeds will be used, on an interim basis, to reduce or retire credit line borrowings and property debt. 50 Five Year Comparison of Selected Financial Data Year ended December 31 (in thousands, except per share data)

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was issued in 1993 and redeemed for common stock on September 30, 1996. Note 2--Earnings before depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDT) is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBDT is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. See the "Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 56 for a full discussion of EBDT.

The provision for loss in the third quarter was partially offset by the reversal of a provision for a litigation matter of $5,665,000 ($.10 per share). Net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 includes a provision for the litigation matter of $8,009,000 ($.17 per share). Net earnings (loss) for the first, second and third quarters of 1995 include provisions for losses on disposition of operating properties of $3,156,000 ($.07 per share), $3,617,000 ($.08 per share) and $3,665,000 ($.08 per share), respectively. The provision for loss in the second quarter was partially offset by a gain on disposition of a retail center property of $1,261,000 ($.03 per share). Price of Common Stock and Dividends The Company's common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in November 1995. Prior to that time it was traded over the counter.

Number of Holders of Common Stock The number of holders of record of the Company's common stock as of February 21, 1997 was 2,294. 51 The Rouse Company and Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company's primary business is the acquisition, development and management of income-producing real estate projects. The Company operates a diversified portfolio of retail centers, office buildings and mixed-use and other properties located throughout the United States. In addition, the Company develops and sells land for residential, commercial and other uses, primarily in Columbia, Maryland, and Summerlin, Nevada. On June 12, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests in The Hughes Corporation and its affiliated partnership, Howard Hughes Properties, Limited Partnership (together, Hughes). The acquired assets consist primarily of a regional shopping center and a large-scale, master- planned community (Summerlin) in Las Vegas, Nevada, and four large-scale, master-planned business parks and various other properties in Nevada and Southern California. The acquisition of Hughes enabled the Company to diversify its portfolio of properties while establishing a significant presence in the fast-growing Las Vegas market. For additional information about the acquisition of Hughes, see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the Company's financial position is sound and that its liquidity and capital resources are adequate. As shown in the supplemental current value basis financial statements, current value shareholders' equity, which is an important indication of the Company's financial strength, was $1.82 billion at December 31, 1996, up from $1.54 billion at December 31, 1995. The Company has continued to achieve strong financial results in recent periods, despite the generally difficult environment for retail businesses. Earnings before depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDT), which is defined and discussed in detail below, increased 28% in 1996 and 14% in 1995, including increases of 10% and 12%, respectively, in EBDT from operating properties and an increase of 170% in 1996 in EBDT from land sales. These results have been made possible by several factors, including the acquisition of Hughes, expansions of and/or acquisitions of ownership interests in certain retail centers, consistent earnings from land sales and operating properties in Columbia, refinancing of a significant amount of project-related debt at lower interest rates and, to a lesser extent, dispositions or modifications of the terms of agreements relating to properties which were incurring losses before depreciation and deferred taxes. Management believes that the outlook is for continued solid growth in EBDT in 1997. Prospects for growth in EBDT from land sales and office/mixed-use properties are excellent as the Company will have the benefit of a full year of operations of the Hughes portfolio and conditions in the major markets in which the Company operates are stable or improving. EBDT from retail centers is also expected to grow in 1997. The rate of growth may continue at the modest rate realized in 1996 given the continued difficult retailing environment, but the Company intends to focus considerable effort and resources on leasing and remerchandising its existing retail centers. The Company will also focus on developing its land assets in Las Vegas and Columbia, opportunities to expand existing retail centers and development of new projects in growing markets. Management is continually reviewing and evaluating the portfolio of properties to identify expansion, renovation and/or remerchandising opportunities and properties that may not have future prospects consistent with the Company's long-term objectives. The Company will continue to dispose of properties that are not meeting and/or are not considered to have the potential to meet its investment criteria, particularly smaller properties in smaller market areas. While disposition decisions may cause the Company to recognize gains or losses that could have material effects on reported net earnings (loss) in future quarters or fiscal years, they are not anticipated to have a material effect on the overall consolidated financial position or operating income of the Company. The objective is to refine and continually upgrade the portfolio so that it is comprised of top tier properties that will produce consistently strong increases in earnings and increases in current values. OPERATING RESULTS This discussion and analysis of operating results covers each of the Company's four business segments as management believes that a segment analysis provides the most effective means of understanding the Company's business. Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements and the information relating to revenues and expenses in the Five Year Summary of Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes from Operations and Net Earnings (Loss) on page 60 should be referred to when reading this discussion. 52 OPERATING PROPERTIES: The Company reports the results of its operating properties in two categories: retail centers ("retail" properties) and office, mixed-use and other properties ("office/mixed-use" properties). The Company's tenant leases provide the foundation for the performance of its retail and office/mixed-use properties. In addition to minimum rents, the majority of retail and office tenant leases provide for other rents which reimburse the Company for most of its operating expenses. Substantially all of the Company's retail leases also provide for additional rent based on tenant sales (percentage rent) in excess of stated levels. As leases expire, space is re-leased, minimum rents are generally adjusted to market rates, expense reimbursement provisions are updated and new percentage rent levels are established for retail leases. Most of the Company's operating properties are financed with long-term, fixed rate, nonrecourse debt and, therefore, are not directly affected by changes in interest rates. Although the interest rates on this debt do not fluctuate, certain loans provide for additional payments to the Company's lenders based on operating results and, in some instances, a share of a property's residual value upon sale or refinancing or at maturity. Operating results of retail properties are summarized as follows (in millions):
1996 1995 1994 ------ ------ ------ Revenues $508.4 $491.7 $486.5 Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization 260.0 246.7 253.1 Interest expense 129.1 128.2 128.8 ------ ------ ------ 119.3 116.8 104.6 Depreciation and amortization 50.1 45.9 46.8 ------ ------ ------ Operating income $ 69.2 $ 70.9 $ 57.8 ======= ====== ======
Revenues from retail properties increased $16.7 million in 1996 and $5.2 million in 1995. The increase in 1996 was attributable primarily to acquisitions of interests in four properties (two in the third quarter of 1995, one in connection with the acquisition of Hughes in the second quarter of 1996 and one in the third quarter of 1996), increased lease termination payments due to tenant restructurings and downsizings and higher rents on re-leased space. These increases were partially offset by the effects of lower average occupancy (88.8% in 1996 compared to 90.9% in 1995) and dispositions of interests in properties in the second quarter of 1995 and first quarter of 1996. The increase in 1995 was attributable to the operations of expansions opened in third quarter of 1994 and first quarter of 1995, purchases of ownership interests in two properties and higher rents on re-leased space. These increases were partially offset by the effects of lower average occupancy (90.9% in 1995 compared to 92.3% in 1994), lower recoveries of operating expenses due to expense reduction efforts and dispositions of interests in properties in the first quarter of 1994 and second quarter of 1995. Total operating and interest expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for retail properties increased $14.2 million in 1996 and decreased $7 million in 1995. The increase in 1996 was attributable primarily to the operations and financing of the acquired properties referred to above. These increases were partially offset by the property dispositions referred to above and reductions in interest expense due to debt repayments and refinancings completed in 1995 and early 1996. The decrease in 1995 was attributable primarily to the effects of lower average occupancy levels, lower operating expenses due to expense reduction efforts, the dispositions referred to above and reductions in interest expense due to debt repayments and refinancings completed in 1994 and early 1995 at certain properties. These decreases were partially offset by increases in expenses associated with the operations and financing of the properties opened or acquired referred to above. Depreciation and amortization expense for retail properties increased $4.2 million in 1996 and decreased $.9 million in 1995. These changes were due primarily to the net effect of changes in the Company's portfolio of retail properties referred to above. 53 Operating results of office/mixed-use properties are summarized as follows (in millions):
1996 1995 1994 ------ ------ ------ Revenues $182.2 $145.0 $146.6 Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization 89.5 70.1 74.4 Interest expense 76.7 69.1 67.9 ------ ------ ------ 16.0 5.8 4.3 Depreciation and amortization 29.9 27.2 27.4 ------ ------ ------ Operating loss $(13.9) $(21.4) $(23.1) ====== ====== ======
Revenues from office/mixed-use properties increased $37.2 million in 1996 and decreased $1.6 million in 1995. The increase in 1996 was attributable primarily to operations of the properties acquired in the Hughes transaction and higher occupancy levels at hotel and other office properties. These increases were partially offset by decreases in tenant lease termination payments and the disposition of a property in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease in 1995 was attributable primarily to dispositions of properties in the third quarter of 1994 and second quarter of 1995 and lower recoveries of operating expenses due to lower occupancy levels and reduced operating expenses at certain projects. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenues at certain hotel and office properties in Columbia due to higher occupancy levels and increases in tenant lease cancellation payments. Total operating and interest expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for office/mixed-use properties increased $27 million in 1996 and decreased $3.1 million in 1995. The increase in 1996 was attributable primarily to operations of the properties acquired in the Hughes transaction and expenses associated with higher occupancy levels. These increases were partially offset by the dispositions of a vacant industrial property in the second quarter of 1996 and an office property in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease in 1995 was attributable primarily to the dispositions of properties referred to above and lower operating expenses at certain projects. These decreases were partially offset by expenses related to two industrial buildings in Columbia which began operations in the second quarter of 1994 and higher interest expense on a mixed- use project. Interest on this project's loan was lower in 1994 because the Company exercised an option in the loan agreement to make a specified payment and reduce the effective interest rate on the loan retroactive to the beginning of its term. The payment was less than the interest previously accrued, and the difference was recorded as a reduction to interest expense in 1994. Depreciation and amortization for office/mixed-use properties increased $2.7 million in 1996. The increase was attributable primarily to the acquired properties referred to above. LAND SALES: The Company's land sales operations relate primarily to the communities of Columbia, Maryland, and Summerlin, Nevada. Generally, revenues and operating income from land sales are affected by such factors as the availability to purchasers of construction and permanent mortgage financing at acceptable interest rates, consumer and business confidence, availability of saleable land for particular uses and management's decisions to sell, develop or retain land. 54 Operating results for land sales are summarized as follows (in millions):
1996 ----------------------------- Columbia Hughes and Division Other Total 1995 1994 -------- -------- ------- ------ ------ Revenues $98.4 $39.5 $137.9 $33.4 $35.2 Operating costs and expenses 83.4 24.4 107.8 17.8 19.9 Interest expense .7 1.0 1.7 5.1 5.0 ------- ------- ------- ------ ------ Operating income $14.3 $14.1 $ 28.4 $10.5 $10.3 ======= ======= ======= ====== ======
Revenues and operating income from Hughes Division land sales for 1996 include $90.4 million and $14 million, respectively, relating to Summerlin and $8 million and $.3 million, respectively, relating to other land holdings. The cost of sales for land acquired in the purchase of Hughes is relatively high as a percentage of revenues as the land sold consists primarily of inventory on which development was completed or in progress at the date of acquisition. Cost of sales for land acquired in the purchase of Hughes is expected to be lower as a percentage of revenues in future periods as the inventory of land on which development was completed or in progress at the date of acquisition is depleted. Revenues from land sales in Columbia increased $6.1 million in 1996 and decreased $1.8 million in 1995. The increase in 1996 was due primarily to higher sales of land for commercial/other uses, partially offset by lower sales of residential land. The decrease in 1995 was due primarily to lower sales of land for commercial/other uses. Columbia and other land sales costs and expenses increased $6.6 million in 1996 and decreased $2.1 million in 1995. These changes were attributable primarily to the changes in land sales revenues referred to above. DEVELOPMENT: Development expenses were $5.3 million in 1996, $7.6 million in 1995 and $7 million in 1994. These costs consist primarily of additions to the preconstruction reserve and new business costs. The preconstruction reserve is determined on a project-by-project basis and is maintained to provide for costs of projects in the preconstruction phase of development, including retail center renovation and expansion opportunities, which may not go forward to completion. Additions to the preconstruction reserve were $2.7 million in 1996, $3.8 million in 1995 and $3.4 million in 1994. New business costs relate primarily to the initial evaluation of potential acquisition and development opportunities. These costs were $1.8 million in 1996, $3.5 million in 1995 and $3.1 million in 1994. The decrease in preconstruction reserve additions in 1996 was due to the progress of several significant projects. The decrease in new business costs in 1996 was attributable to the Company's focus on the Hughes acquisition which deferred evaluation of other opportunities, particularly during the first half of 1996. The increases in preconstruction reserve additions and new business costs in 1995 were attributable to the Company's more active pursuit of potential development and acquisition opportunities. CORPORATE: Corporate revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on temporary investments, including investments of unallocated proceeds from refinancings of certain properties. Corporate interest income was $3.5 million in 1996, $2.8 million in 1995 and $2.9 million in 1994. The changes in income in 1996 and 1995 were attributable primarily to changes in the average investment balances. Corporate expenses consist of certain interest and operating expenses, as discussed below, reduced by costs capitalized or allocated to other business segments. Interest is capitalized on corporate funds invested in projects under development, and interest on corporate borrowings and distributions on the Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities which are used for other segments are allocated to those segments. Accordingly, corporate interest expense consists primarily of interest on the convertible subordinated debentures, the unsecured 8.5% notes and unallocated proceeds from refinancings of certain prop- 55 erties, net of interest capitalized on development projects or allocated to other segments, and corporate operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative costs and distributions on the redeemable preferred securities, net of distributions allocated to other segments. Corporate interest costs were $18 million in 1996, $14 million in 1995 and $13.9 million in 1994. Of such amounts, $5.4 million, $3.7 million and $2.6 million were capitalized in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, on funds invested in development projects. The increase in corporate interest costs in 1996 was attributable primarily to a higher level of credit line borrowings for development projects and for other corporate purposes. The higher level of interest capitalized in 1996 and 1995 reflects the higher level of corporate funds invested in projects under development. GAIN (LOSS) ON DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS AND OTHER PROVISIONS, NET: The loss on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, for 1996 consisted primarily of provisions for losses totaling $25.9 million recognized on five retail centers the Company decided to sell. These losses were partially offset by the reversal of a portion of the provision recorded in 1995 for the litigation matter discussed in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements. The loss on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, for 1995 consisted primarily of a provision for loss of $12.3 million on a litigation judgment involving a former tenant as discussed in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements and provisions for losses totaling $15.6 million recognized on retail centers the Company decided to sell. These losses were partially offset by a gain of $2.4 million on disposition of a retail center. The loss on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, for 1994 consisted primarily of losses totaling $8 million incurred on dispositions of interests in two retail centers, a hotel and an office building and a provision for loss of $2.2 million on an industrial building. These losses were partially offset by a gain of $2.8 million on disposition of an interest in a retail center. EXTRAORDINARY LOSSES, NET OF RELATED INCOME TAX BENEFITS: The extraordinary losses in 1996, 1995 and 1994 resulted from early extinguishments or required partial early redemptions of debt and aggregated $2.2 million, $13.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively, less deferred income tax benefits of $.8 million, $4.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. NET EARNINGS (LOSS): The Company had net earnings of $16.4 million in 1996, a net loss of $2.8 million in 1995 and net earnings of $2.2 million in 1994. The Company's operating income (after depreciation and amortization) was $59.5 million in 1996, $35.9 million in 1995 and $21.3 million in 1994. The improvements in operating income in 1996 and 1995 were due primarily to the factors described above. Net earnings (loss) for each year was affected by unusual and/or nonrecurring items. The most significant of these are the items discussed above in gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, and extraordinary losses, net of related income tax benefits. Net earnings (loss) was also affected by income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 58.9% in 1996, 42.5% in 1995 and 50.5% in 1994. The effective rate is higher in 1996, primarily because a portion of the distributions payable to the former Hughes owners (or their successors) under the Contingent Stock Agreement is not deductible for income tax purposes. EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND DEFERRED TAXES: The Company uses a supplemental performance measure along with net earnings (loss) to report its operating results. This measure, referred to as Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDT), is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBDT is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company believes that EBDT provides relevant information about its operations and is necessary, along with net earnings (loss), for an understanding of its operating results. Depreciation and amortization are excluded from EBDT because, as shown in the current value basis balance sheets, the Company's portfolio of operating properties is worth substantially more than its undepreciated historical cost. Deferred income taxes are excluded 56 from EBDT because payments of income taxes have not been significant and are not anticipated to become significant in the near term. Current Federal and state income taxes are included as reductions of EBDT. Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, and extraordinary losses, net of related income tax benefits, represent unusual and/or nonrecurring items and are therefore excluded from EBDT. EBDT is reconciled to net earnings (loss) in the Five Year Summary of Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes from Operations and Net Earnings (Loss) on page 61. EBDT was $139.4 million in 1996, $108.4 million in 1995 and $94.7 million in 1994. The increase in EBDT in 1996 was due primarily to the acquisition of Hughes. The increase in EBDT in 1995 was due primarily to improved results from the operating properties business segment, particularly retail properties. The significant changes in revenues and expenses comprising EBDT by segment are described above. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Management believes that the current values of the Company's assets and liabilities are the most realistic indicators of the Company's financial strength and future profitability. Current values of the Company's interests in operating properties (including interests in unconsolidated real estate ventures) and land held for development and sale represent the present values of forecasted net operating cash flows from these properties--the Company's most significant assets. Since 1976, revaluation equity, the aggregate increment of current value over cost basis net book value of the Company's assets and liabilities, has increased at a compound annual rate of 14%. The majority of revaluation equity relates to larger, major market retail centers which continue to be a favored real estate investment. Revaluation equity increased $145 million or 10% to $1.64 billion at December 31, 1996. This increase was due primarily to the current values of properties, particularly land, obtained in the Hughes acquisition and a decrease in current value deferred income taxes. The decrease in current value deferred income taxes is principally due to the effects of implementing certain state income tax planning strategies which are expected to significantly reduce future state income tax payments. The increase in revaluation equity for 1996 was partially offset by decreases in current values of certain retail and other properties due to the effects of competitive factors in certain markets and continued consolidation in the retail industry. During 1996, investor yield requirements for all property types remained substantially unchanged from 1995. Cost basis shareholders' equity increased to $177.1 million at December 31, 1996 from $42.6 million at December 31, 1995. The increase was due primarily to the issuance of common stock in the Hughes acquisition and the Company's net earnings. These increases were partially offset by the payment of regular quarterly dividends on the common and Preferred stocks. In 1996, substantially all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock were converted into approximately 10.6 million shares of common stock. The conversion had no effect on shareholders' equity. The Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities totaling $47.4 million and $97.8 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $168.1 million, $107 million and $113.8 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The changes in cash provided by operating activities were due primarily to the factors discussed above in the analysis of operating results. The level of net cash provided by operating activities is also affected by the timing of receipt of revenues (including land sales proceeds) and the payment of operating and interest expenses and land development costs. In particular, net cash provided by operating activities for 1995 was reduced due to payment of certain pension obligations and other liabilities. In 1996 and 1995, over 80% of the Company's debt consisted of mortgages and bonds collateralized by operating properties. Scheduled principal payments on property debt were $39 million, $36.4 million and $46.8 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decreases in 1996 and 1995 from the 1994 level were due primarily to early repayments of property debt. 57 The annual maturities of debt for the next five years are as follows (in millions):
Scheduled Balloon Payments Payments Total --------- -------- ------- 1997 $ 49.6 $ 74.9 $124.5 1998 47.4 45.9 93.3 1999 46.5 161.2 207.7 2000 45.2 184.2 229.4 2001 51.5 120.1 171.6 --------- -------- ------- $240.2 $586.3 $826.5 ========= ======== =======
The balloon payments for 1997 include $58.3 million related to two retail center mortgages due in the second quarter. The Company is in the process of obtaining securitized mortgage loans to refinance these loans and has received a commitment from a lender for an interim loan for up to six months pending completion of the securitized loans. The Company expects to repay the mortgages at their scheduled maturity date. The Company has historically relied primarily on fixed rate, nonrecourse loans from private institutional lenders to finance its operating properties and expects that it will continue to do so in the future. In recent years, however, the Company has made greater use of the public capital markets to meet its capital resource needs. Since 1993, the Company has completed public debt and equity offerings aggregating over $800 million (including the unused portion of the medium-term notes and the proceeds of the Series B Convertible Preferred stock issued in February 1997 described in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements), the proceeds of which have been or will be used primarily to repay or refinance corporate and property debt and to provide funds for other corporate purposes. These transactions were completed on terms which allowed the Company to reduce its overall cost of capital while restructuring its debt maturities and increasing its financial flexibility. The Company is continually evaluating sources of capital, and management believes there are satisfactory sources available for all requirements without necessitating property sales. Cash expenditures for properties in development and improvements to existing properties funded by debt were $124 million, $61.6 million and $78.6 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in these expenditures in 1996 was due to increased project development activity, including approximately $38.5 million relating to the development of office and industrial properties acquired in the Hughes purchase. A substantial portion of the costs of properties in development is financed with construction or similar loans and/or borrowings on revolving lines of credit. Typically, long-term fixed rate debt financing is arranged concurrently with the construction financing or before completion of construction. Management also intends to finance certain future development costs with proceeds from the Series B Convertible Preferred stock issued in February 1997. Improvements to existing properties funded by debt consist primarily of costs of renovation and remerchandising programs and other capital improvement costs. The Company's share of these costs has been financed primarily from proceeds of refinancings of the related properties or other properties, credit line borrowings and a portion of the proceeds of the 8.5% unsecured notes. Cash expenditures for the acquisition of Hughes were $36.3 million in 1996 and were financed primarily by credit line borrowings. Cash expenditures for acquisitions of interests in properties were $18.1 million in 1996, $28.2 million in 1995 and $94.1 million in 1994. These costs were financed primarily by nonrecourse debt. The acquisitions in 1996 consisted of purchases of partners' interests in two retail centers, one of which was financed in part by the seller. The acquisitions in 1995 consisted of purchases of partners' interests in two retail centers, which were financed in whole or in part by the sellers, and purchase of a minority interest in a third retail center. The acquisitions in 1994 consisted primarily of the purchase of land underlying a retail center and the related equity interest of the former ground lessor. The Company has available sources of capital in addition to those discussed above. The Company's equity interests in its operating properties, investment land and land held for 58 development and sale and land in development represent a source of funds either through sales or refinancings. The aggregate equity value of these interests at December 31, 1996, was approximately $2.84 billion. The Company also has lines of credit aggregating $248.1 million of which $184.1 million was available at December 31, 1996. These lines of credit can be used for various purposes, including land and project development costs, property acquisitions, liquidity and other corporate needs, subject to specific use limitations and/or lender approvals in certain cases. In addition, the Company may issue additional medium-term notes of up to $29.7 million and additional common stock, Preferred stock and/or debt securities of up to $300 million. The agreements relating to certain of the lines of credit, the 8.5% unsecured notes, the medium-term notes and certain other loans impose limitations on the Company. The most restrictive of these limit the Company's ability to incur certain types of additional debt if the Company does not maintain specified debt service coverage ratios. The agreements also impose restrictions on sale, lease and certain other transactions, subject to various exclusions and limitations. These restrictions have not limited the Company's normal business activities and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. IMPACT OF INFLATION The major portion of the Company's operating properties, its retail centers, is substantially protected from declines in the purchasing power of the dollar. Retail leases generally provide for minimum rents plus percentage rents based on sales over a minimum base. Generally, increases in tenant sales (whether due to increased unit sales or increased prices from demand or general inflation) will result in increased rental revenue to the Company. A substantial portion of the tenant leases (retail and office) also provide for other rents which reimburse the Company for certain of its operating expenses; consequently, increases in these costs do not have a significant impact on the Company's operating results. The Company has a significant amount of debt which, in a period of inflation, will result in a holding gain since debt will be paid off with dollars having less purchasing power. INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Annual Report to Shareholders of the Company includes forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those identified below which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated: (1) real estate investment risks; (2) development risks; (3) liquidity of real estate investments; (4) dependence on rental income from real property; (5) effect of uninsured loss: (6) lack of geographical diversification; (7) possible environmental liabilities; (8) difficulties of compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act; (9) competition; and (10) changes in the economic climate. For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors, see Exhibit 99.2 of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. 59 The Rouse Company and Subsidiaries FIVE YEAR SUMMARY OF EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND DEFERRED TAXES FROM OPERATIONS AND NET EARNINGS (LOSS)

Note: Earnings before depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDT) is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBDT is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. See the "Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 56 for a full discussion of EBDT. 61 PROJECTS OF THE ROUSE COMPANY

Yungmann, Trustee EX-99.2 12 EXHIBIT 99.2 Exhibit 99.2 FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS This Form 10-K, the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders, any Form 10-Q or any Form 8-K of the Company or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company include forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward- looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results: REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT RISKS. General. Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Revenues and property values may be adversely affected by the general economic climate, the local economic climate and local real estate conditions, including (i) the perceptions of prospective tenants or purchasers as to the attractiveness of the property; (ii) the ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance; (iii) the inability to collect rent due to bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; and (iv) increased operating costs. Real estate values may also be adversely affected by such factors as applicable laws, including tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. Development Risks. New project development is subject to a number of risks, including risks of availability of financing, construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs, risks that the properties will not achieve anticipated occupancy levels or sustain anticipated lease or sales levels, and new project commencement risks such as receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations and the incurrence of development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion. Lack of Geographical Diversification. A significant portion of the Company's properties is geographically concentrated. The Company's land sales, for instance, relate primarily to land in and around Columbia, Maryland, and Las Vegas, Nevada. These sales are affected by the economic climate in Howard County, Maryland, the Baltimore-Washington area and the greater Las Vegas, Nevada area, and by local real estate conditions and other factors, including applicable zoning laws and the availability of financing for residential development. Similarly, most of the office/industrial buildings that the Company manages are located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, including Columbia, Maryland, and the greater Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. Due to the geographic concentration of this portfolio, the Company's operating results in managing these buildings and selling property for development depend especially on the local economic climate and real estate conditions, including the availability of comparable, competing buildings and properties. Illiquidity of Real Estate Investments. Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore may tend to limit the ability of the Company to react promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Exhibit 99.2 Dependence on Rental Income from Real Property. The Company's cash flow and results of operations would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants were unable to meet their obligations or if the Company were unable to lease a significant amount of space in its income-producing properties on economically favorable lease terms. In the event of a default by a tenant, the Company may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor and may incur substantial costs in protecting its investment. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant may have an adverse effect on an income-producing property. Effect of Uninsured Loss. The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to its properties with insured limits and policy specifications that it believes are customary for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature, such as wars, floods or earthquakes) which may be either uninsurable, or, in the Company's judgment, not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose both its invested capital in and anticipated profits from the affected property. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of the investigation, removal and remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, in or migrating from such property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remediate properly such substances when present, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such real property or to borrow using such real property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic wastes may also be liable for the costs of the investigation, removal and remediation of such wastes at the disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such facility is owned or operated by such person. Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations require abatement or removal of certain asbestos-containing materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling, impose certain worker protection and notification requirements and govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. Certain of the Company's properties contain underground storage tanks which are subject to strict laws and regulations designed to prevent leakage or other releases of hazardous substances into the environment. In connection with its ownership, operation and management of such properties, the Company could be held liable for the environmental response costs associated with the release of such regulated substances or related claims. In addition to remediation actions brought by federal, state and local agencies, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. Such claims could result in costs or liabilities which could exceed the value of such property. The Company is not aware of any notification by any private party or governmental authority of any non- compliance, liability or other claim in connection with environmental conditions at any of its properties that it believes will involve any expenditure which would be material to the Company, nor is the Company aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of its properties that it believes will involve any such material expenditure. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future. -2- Exhibit 99.2 AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT COMPLIANCE. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), all public accommodations and commercial facilities are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements became effective in 1992. The Company has surveyed each of its properties and believes that it is in substantial compliance with the ADA and that it will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. In addition, the Company has developed an ADA Compliance Plan and has budgeted for and moved forward with the removal of those barriers to access that are readily achievable. The Company believes that implementation of its ADA Compliance Plan will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. COMPETITION. There are numerous other developers, managers and owners of real estate that compete with the Company in seeking management and leasing revenues, land for development, properties for acquisition and disposition and tenants for properties, and there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully respond to or manage competitive conditions. CHANGES IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. The Company's business and operating results can be adversely affected by changes in the economic environment generally. For example, an increase in interest rates will affect the interest payable on the Company's outstanding floating rate debt and may result in increased interest expense if debt is refinanced at higher interest rates. Moreover, in a recessionary economy, credit conditions may be inflexible and consumer spending conservative, which could adversely affect the Company's revenues from its retail centers. INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS. The Company makes limited use of interest rate exchange agreements, including interest rate caps and swaps, primarily to manage interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt. Under interest rate cap agreements, the Company makes initial premium payments to the counterparties in exchange for the right to receive payments from them if interest rates on the related variable rate debt exceed specified levels during the agreement period. Premiums paid are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the agreements using the interest method, and payments receivable from the counterparties are accrued as reductions of interest expense. Under interest rate swap agreements, the Company and the counterparties agree to exchange the difference between fixed rate and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to specified notional principal amounts during the agreement period. Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less. Amounts receivable or payable under swap agreements are accounted for as adjustments to interest expense on the related debt. Parties to interest rate exchange agreements are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and risk of credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. Although the Company deals only with highly rated financial institution counterparties (which, in certain cases, are also the lenders on the related debt) and does not expect that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations, there can be no assurance that this will not occur. RISKS RELATING TO NEVADA PROPERTIES. General. The Company, through its subsidiaries and affiliates owns approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet of office and industrial space primarily around Las Vegas, Nevada, a 75% partnership interest in Fashion Show Mall, an 840,000 square foot regional shopping center located on the "Strip" in Las Vegas, the Tournament Players Club golf club at -3- Exhibit 99.2 Summerlin and approximately 16,500 acres of development and investment land located in Summerlin, Nevada. These properties could be adversely affected by the following risks. Water Availability in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area. The Las Vegas metropolitan area is a desert environment where the ability to develop real estate is largely dependent on the continued availability of water. The Las Vegas metropolitan area has a limited supply of water to service future development, and it is uncertain whether the metropolitan area will be successful in obtaining new sources of water. If the Las Vegas metropolitan area does not obtain new sources of water, development activities could be materially hindered. Air Quality. The Las Vegas Valley is classified as a moderate carbon monoxide and a serious PM-10 nonattainment area by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). The EPA is currently assessing whether the Las Vegas Valley meets certain regulatory requirements with respect to levels of ozone. Efforts are underway to develop air quality plans to achieve and maintain applicable EPA standards. However, there are also ongoing efforts to relax certain requirements under the Clean Air Act and to modify the EPA's authority thereunder. The outcome of these efforts may significantly affect real estate development activities in the Las Vegas Valley. Availability of Infrastructure. As with most growing communities, the rate of growth in the Las Vegas metropolitan area is straining the capacity of the community's infrastructure, particularly with respect to schools, water delivery systems, transportation, flood control and sewage treatment. Certain responsible federal, state and local government agencies finance the construction of infrastructure improvements through a variety of means, including general obligation bond issues, some of which are subject to voter approval. The failure of these agencies to obtain financing for or to complete such infrastructure improvements could materially delay development in the area or materially increase development costs through the imposition of impact fees and other fees and taxes, or require the construction or funding of portions of such infrastructure. The availability of infrastructure or water has not had a negative impact on the Company's development or investment activities to date. Non-Nevada Gaming. Until this decade, the gaming industry was principally limited to the traditional markets of Nevada and New Jersey. Several states, however, have legalized casino gaming and other forms of gambling in recent years. In addition, several states have negotiated compacts with Indian tribes pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 that permit certain forms of gaming on Indian lands.
