•

Funds from operations ("FFO") of the Simon portfolio for the quarter increased 13.3% to $418.7 million from $369.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. On a diluted per share basis the increase was 12.3% to $1.46 from $1.30 in 2006. FFO of the Simon portfolio for the nine months increased 8.9% to $1.184 billion from $1.087 billion in 2006. On a diluted per share basis the increase was 8.4% to $4.14 per share from $3.82 per share in 2006.



•

Net income available to common stockholders for the quarter increased 74.3% to $164.9 million from $94.6 million in the third quarter of 2006.

On a diluted per share basis the increase was 14.2% to $1.45 per share from $1.27 per share in 2006. The increase in net income for the quarter and nine months is primarily attributable to higher gains recognized in 2007 on the sale of assets and interests in unconsolidated entities partially offset by lower income from unconsolidated entities as a result of increased depreciation expense attributable to the acquisition of the Mills portfolio of assets.

Notes:

(A)

Consolidation occurs when the Company acquires an additional ownership interest in a joint venture and, as a result, gains control of the joint venture. These interests have been separated from operational interests to present comparative results of operations. As a result of the consolidation of Mall of Georgia during the fourth quarter of 2006 and Town Center at Cobb and Gwinnett Mall as of March 31, 2007, we reclassified our share of the pre-consolidation earnings from these properties.

(B)

Discontinued joint venture interests represent assets and partnership interests that have been sold.

(C)

Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of the Company's investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the partnerships and joint ventures. The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related properties, typically no greater than 40 years, and the amortization is included in income from unconsolidated entities.

Notes:

(1)

The Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance that is not specifically defined by GAAP and believes that FFO is helpful to investors because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs and provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. The Company also uses this measure internally to measure the operating performance of the portfolio. The Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs.

As defined by NAREIT, FFO is consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sales of real estate, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. The Company has adopted NAREIT's clarification of the definition of FFO that requires it to include the effects of nonrecurring items not classified as extraordinary, cumulative effect of accounting change or resulting from the sale of depreciable real estate. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
