Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors of

The Macerich Company:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses (Historical Summary) of Kings Plaza (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 2011. This Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this Historical Summary based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in note 1. The presentation is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and certain expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses described in note 1 of Kings Plaza for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses relate to the operations of Kings Plaza, a 1,198,000 square foot regional shopping center in Brooklyn, New York, which is anchored by Macy’s, Sears and Lowe’s. The Macerich Company purchased Kings Plaza on November 28, 2012 and acquired, among other things, the real property, improvements, personal property and power plant.

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly are not representative of the actual results of operations of Kings Plaza for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the exclusion of the following expenses, which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the property:

·          Depreciation and amortization,

·          Management fees, and

·          Mortgage interest expense since the center was refinanced on the date of acquisition.

Revenues:

Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Percentage rents are recognized and accrued when tenants’ specified sales targets have been met.

Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries are recognized as revenues on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

Management Estimates:

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting period to prepare the statements of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Statement:

The statement of revenues and certain expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses for the interim period have been made.

2. Future Rental Revenues:

3. Commitments and Contingencies:

The marina portion of Kings Plaza is subject to a non-cancelable operating ground lease. The lease expires on May 28, 2018, subject to options to extend the term of the lease. These extension options are at management’s discretion, subject to certain conditions, which management believes will be met. Minimum future rental payments required under the lease are as follows:

4. Subsequent Events:

The management of Kings Plaza evaluated subsequent events through February 8, 2013, the date that these statements of revenues and certain expenses were issued.

The Macerich Company (the “Company”)

Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared to give effect to the Company’s acquisition of Kings Plaza.  The Company acquired Kings Plaza on November 28, 2012 for a final purchase price of $756.0 million.  The purchase price was funded by a cash payment of $726.0 million and the issuance of $30.0 million of restricted common stock of the Company.  The cash payment was funded by the placement of a $500.0 million mortgage note on the property and borrowings under the Company’s line of credit.

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been presented as if the acquisition occurred on September 30, 2012 and the pro forma statements of operations have been presented as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2011.

This pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the statements of revenues and certain expenses of Kings Plaza and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing.

The purchase allocation adjustments made in connection with the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the information available at this time.  Subsequent adjustments to the allocation may be made based on additional information.

The pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent the Company’s financial position or results of operations that would actually have occurred assuming the acquisition of Kings Plaza along with the related financing transactions had all occurred on January 1, 2011; nor do they purport to project the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period.
