THE MACERICH COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1. Organization:

The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers (the "Centers") located throughout the United States.

The Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering on March 16, 1994. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was the sole general partner of and held a 92% ownership interest in The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company was organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The property management, leasing and redevelopment of the Company's portfolio is provided by the Company's management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Management Company, a California corporation, Macerich Arizona Partners LLC, a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Arizona Management LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Partners of Colorado LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, MACW Mall Management, Inc., a New York corporation, and MACW Property Management, LLC, a single member New York limited liability company. All seven of the management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Management Companies."

All references to the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent public accountants.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Investments in entities in which the Company retains a controlling financial interest or entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity in which the Company has, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests, both the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity are consolidated; otherwise they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are reflected as "investments in unconsolidated joint ventures."

The Company had identified Shoppingtown Mall, L.P. ("Shoppingtown Mall") and Camelback Shopping Center Limited Partnership as variable interest entities that met the criteria for consolidation. On September 14, 2011, the Company redeemed the outside ownership interests in Shoppingtown Mall

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

for a cash payment of $11,366 (See Note 13—Noncontrolling Interests). As a result of the redemption, the property is wholly-owned by the Company. The net assets and results of operations of Camelback Shopping Center Limited Partnership included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are insignificant to the net assets and results of operations of the Company.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 9, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The Company has recently made the following investments in unconsolidated joint ventures:

On February 24, 2011, the Company's joint venture in Kierland Commons, a 434,690 square foot community center in Scottsdale, Arizona, acquired the ownership interest of another partner in the joint venture for $105,550. The Company's share of the purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $34,161 and the assumption of a pro rata share of debt of $18,613. As a result of the acquisition, the Company's ownership interest in Kierland Commons increased from 24.5% to 50.0%. The joint venture recognized a remeasurement gain of $25,019 on the acquisition based on the difference of the fair value received and its previously held investment in Kierland Commons. The Company's pro rata share of the gain recognized was $12,510.

On February 28, 2011, the Company in a 50/50 joint venture acquired The Shops at Atlas Park, a 400,000 square foot community center in Queens, New York for a total purchase price of $53,750. The Company's share of the purchase price was $26,875. The results of The Shops at Atlas Park are included below for the period subsequent to the acquisition.

On February 28, 2011, the Company acquired the additional 50% ownership interest in Desert Sky Mall, an 893,561 square foot regional shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona, that it did not own for $27,625. The purchase price was funded by a cash payment of $1,875 and the assumption of the third party's pro rata share of the mortgage note payable on the property of $25,750. Concurrent with the purchase of the partnership interest, the Company paid off the $51,500 loan on the property. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had accounted for its investment in Desert Sky Mall under the equity method. Since the date of acquisition, the Company has included Desert Sky Mall in its consolidated financial statements (See Note 15—Acquisitions).

On April 1, 2011, the Company's joint venture in SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. conveyed Granite Run Mall to the mortgage note lender with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The mortgage note was non-recourse. The Company's pro rata share of gain on the early extinguishment of debt was $7,792.

On June 3, 2011, the Company entered into a transaction with General Growth Properties, Inc., whereby the Company acquired an additional 33.3% ownership interest in Arrowhead Towne Center, a 1,196,941 square foot regional shopping center in Glendale, Arizona; an additional 33.3% ownership interest in Superstition Springs Center, a 1,204,803 square foot regional shopping center in Mesa,

Arizona; and an additional 50% ownership interest in the land under Superstition Springs Center ("Superstition Springs Land") in exchange for six anchor locations, including five former Mervyn's stores (See Note 16—Discontinued Operations), and a cash payment of $75,000. As a result of this transaction, the Company now owns a 66.7% ownership interest in Arrowhead Towne Center, a 66.7% ownership interest in Superstition Springs Center and a 100% ownership interest in Superstition Springs Land. Although the Company had a 66.7% ownership interest in Arrowhead Towne Center and Superstition Springs Center upon completion of the transaction, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in these joint ventures due to the substantive participation rights of the outside partner and, therefore, continues to account for its investments in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, no remeasurement gain was recorded on the increase in ownership. The Company has consolidated its investment in Superstition Springs Land since the date of acquisition (See Note 15—Acquisitions) and has recorded a remeasurement gain of $1,734 (See Note 6—Property) as a result of the increase in ownership. This transaction is referred to herein as the "GGP Exchange".

Combined and condensed balance sheets and statements of operations are presented below for all unconsolidated joint ventures.
