Highlight of Business Operations:

Total revenues decreased $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the prior year period.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million primarily as a result of increases of $1.0 million in payroll and related costs and $0.3 million for capitalized overhead related to development projects, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in consulting fees. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.7% and 4.3% for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues declined as a result of the deconsolidation of the CBL/T-C Properties for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the prior year period.

The increase in revenues of the Comparable Properties was primarily driven by a $5.6 million increase in base rents, as a result of the increases in occupancy, improvements in leasing spreads and a bankruptcy settlement from a former tenant of $1.6 million.

General and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million primarily as a result of increases of $2.0 million in payroll and related costs, $0.7 million in acquisition-related costs, and $0.3 million for capitalized overhead related to development projects, which were partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in consulting fees. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 5.1% and 4.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
