CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties.  Its properties are located in 27 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.
CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of September 30, 2012, the Operating Partnership owned controlling interests in 77 regional malls/open-air centers (including our mixed-use center), 29 associated centers (each located adjacent to a regional mall), five community centers and 13 office buildings, including CBL’s corporate office building. The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE").  At September 30, 2012, the Operating Partnership owned non-controlling interests in ten regional malls/open-air centers, three associated centers, five community centers and six office buildings. Because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights, the Operating Partnership does not control these partnerships and joint ventures and, accordingly, accounts for these investments using the equity method. The Operating Partnership had controlling interests in the development of one outlet center and the expansion of one outlet center, both of which are owned in 75% /25% joint ventures at September 30, 2012. The Operating Partnership also had controlling interests in one mall expansion, two community center developments and one mall redevelopment under construction at September 30, 2012.  The Operating Partnership also holds options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.
CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At September 30, 2012, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 82.6% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 83.6%.
The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is held primarily by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively “CBL’s Predecessor”). CBL’s Predecessor contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993. At September 30, 2012, CBL’s Predecessor owned a 9.8% limited partner interest and third parties owned a 6.6% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership.  CBL’s Predecessor also owned 7.8 million shares of CBL’s common stock at September 30, 2012, for a total combined effective interest of 13.9% in the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership conducts CBL’s property management and development activities through CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”) to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Operating Partnership owns 100% of both of the Management Company’s preferred stock and common stock.
CBL, the Operating Partnership and the Management Company are collectively referred to herein as “the Company”.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results for the interim period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.
Certain historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The financial results of certain properties that had been classified in continuing operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented herein. Except where noted, the information presented in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements excludes discontinued operations.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with CBL’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as amended.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting Guidance Adopted
 
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). The objective of ASU 2011-04 is to align fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), thus improving the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. For public entities, this guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). The objective of this accounting update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements of net income and other comprehensive income. For public entities, this guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). This guidance defers the changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Other requirements of ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12. The guidance in ASU 2011-12 was effective at the same time as ASU 2011-05 so that entities would not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU 2011-05 that ASU 2011-12 deferred. The adoption of this guidance changed the presentation format of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements but did not have an impact on the amounts reported in those statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate - a Scope Clarification (“ASU 2011-10”). This guidance applies to the derecognition of in substance real estate when the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate because of a default by the subsidiary on its nonrecourse debt. Under ASU 2011-10, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment - Real Estate Sales, to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, the requirements to derecognize in substance real estate would not be met before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. Thus, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest under ASC 810-10, Consolidation - Overall, it would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary's operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. ASU 2011-10 should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date. For public companies, this guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2011-10 effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.  The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.  Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.
    


12

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The Company recognizes transfers in and out of every level at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 for all periods presented.
Intangible lease assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets include marketable securities consisting of corporate equity securities, mortgage/asset-backed securities, mutual funds and bonds that are classified as available for sale.  Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are deemed to be temporary in nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests.  If a decline in the value of an investment is deemed to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in the current period to the extent of the decline in value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not record any write-downs related to other-than-temporary impairments.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized realized gains of $160 related to sales of marketable securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized realized losses of $22 related to sales of marketable securities.  The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities that

13

are based on quoted market prices are classified under Level 1.  Tax increment financing bonds ("TIF bonds") are classified as Level 3. The following is a summary of the available-for-sale securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to mitigate the effect of interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt.  The Company had four interest rate swaps and one interest rate cap as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, that qualify as hedging instruments and are designated as cash flow hedges.  The interest rate cap is included in intangible lease assets and other assets and the interest rate swaps are reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The swaps and cap have predominantly met the effectiveness test criteria since inception and changes in their fair values are, thus, primarily reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged items affect earnings.  The fair values of the Company’s interest rate hedges, classified under Level 2, are determined based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) information, consideration of the Company’s credit standing, credit risk of the counterparties and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions.  See Note 6 for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.  Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $5,153,568 and $4,836,028 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently.
The Company holds TIF bonds, which mature in 2028, received in a private placement as consideration for infrastructure improvements made by the Company related to the development of a community center. The Company has the intent and ability to hold the TIF bonds through the recovery period. To value the TIF bonds at September 30, 2012, the Company performed a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis using various bond redemption scenarios and a net present value based on a discount rate of 7% and a lack of marketability discount of 5%. The valuation assumes a 5% long-term revenue growth rate. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of the TIF bonds, the Company has classified the TIF bonds under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no changes in the $11,829 classified as available-for-sale securities (Level 3) for the period from December 31, 2011 through September 30, 2012.
The Company holds a secured convertible promissory note from Jinsheng Group (“Jinsheng”), in which the Company also holds a cost-method investment.  The secured convertible note is non-interest bearing and is secured by shares of Jinsheng.  Since the secured convertible note is non-interest bearing and there is no active market for Jinsheng’s debt, the Company performed a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis using various sale, redemption and initial public offering ("IPO") exit strategies. The fair value analysis as of September 30, 2012 forecasts a 0% to 10% reduction in estimated cash flows. Sale

14

and IPO scenarios employ capitalization rates ranging from 10% to 12% which are discounted 20% for lack of marketability. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of the note, the Company has classified it under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Based on the valuation as of September 30, 2012, the Company determined that the current balance of the secured convertible note of $2,475 is not impaired.  There were no changes in the $2,475 classified as privately held debt and equity securities (Level 3) for the period from December 31, 2011 through September 30, 2012. See Notes 5 and 15 for further discussion.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the TIF bonds are the forecasted growth in sales and marketability discount. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Jinsheng note include revenue estimates and marketability discount. Significant increases (decreases) in revenues could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement whereas significant increases (decreases) in the marketability discount could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income, occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experienced impairment, the Company has classified them under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
