THE MACERICH COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -
(Dollars in thousands)
1. Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Macerich
Company ("financial statements") 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. Accordingly, 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 unaudited interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have
been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1996 financial
statements to conform to the 1997 financial statement presentation.
The computation of primary earnings per share is based on net income
and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods
presented. Outstanding common stock options, using the treasury method,
have less than a 3% dilutive effect on earnings per share and thus have
not been included in the computation.
2. Organization:
The Macerich Company (the "Company") was incorporated under the General
Corporation Law of Maryland on September 9, 1993 and commenced
operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering
("IPO") on March 16, 1994. The Company was formed to continue the
business of the Macerich Group, which since 1972 has focused on the
acquisition, ownership, redevelopment, management and leasing of
regional shopping centers located throughout the United States. In
1994, the Company became the sole general partner of The Macerich
Partnership L.P., (the "Operating Partnership"). The Operating
Partnership owns or has an ownership interest in 26 regional shopping
centers and three community shopping centers, including three that were
acquired in 1997. Collectively these properties and interests are
referred to as the "Centers". The Company conducts all of its
operations through the Operating Partnership and other wholly owned
subsidiaries, and the Company's three Management Companies, Macerich
Property Management Company, Macerich Management Company and Macerich
Manhattan Management Company, collectively referred to as "the
Management Companies".
The Company, a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, owns approximately 68% of The Operating
Partnership and is the sole General Partner. The limited partnership
interest not owned by the Company is reflected in these financial
statements as Minority Interest.

3. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and the Management
Companies
The following are the Company's investments in various real estate
joint ventures which own regional retail shopping centers. The
Operating Partnership is a general partner in these joint ventures. The
Operating Partnership's interest in each joint venture is as follows:
The Operating Partnership's
Joint Venture Ownership %
Macerich Northwestern Associates 50%
North Valley Plaza Associates 50%
Panorama City Associates 50%
West Acres Development 19%
Manhattan Village 10%
The non-voting preferred stock of the Management Companies is owned by
the Operating Partnership, which provides the Operating Partnership the
right to receive 95% of the distributable cash flow from the Management
Companies. The Company accounts for the Management Companies and the
joint ventures using the equity method of accounting.
On August 19, 1997 Macerich acquired a 10% interest in the joint
venture that acquired Manhattan Village Mall in Manhattan Beach,
California. The results of that joint venture are included for the
period subsequent to the acquisition.
Combined and condensed balance sheets and statements of operations are
presented below for all unconsolidated joint ventures, and the
Management Companies, followed by information regarding the Operating
Partnership's beneficial interest in the combined operations.
Beneficial interest is calculated based on the Operating Partnership's
ownership interests in the joint ventures and the Management Companies.

6. Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued:
The Note requires the Company to deposit all cash flow from the
property operations with a trustee to meet its obligations under
the Notes. Cash in excess of the required amount, as defined, is
released. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $750 of
restricted cash deposited with the trustee at September 30, 1997
and at December 31, 1996.
(d) This represents the monthly payment of principal and interest.
(e) This amount represents the monthly payment of principal and
interest. In addition, contingent interest, as defined in the loan
agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the amount by which
the property's gross receipts (as defined in the loan agreement)
exceeds a base amount specified therein. Contingent interest
expense recognized by the Company was $0 for the period ended
September 30, 1997 and $245 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. As of January 1, 1997 all these loans were consolidated into
a new loan of $66,200 at an interest rate of 9.1%.
(f) This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.45%. There is an interest
rate protection agreement in place on the first $10,200 of this
debt with a LIBOR ceiling of 5.88% through maturity with the
remaining principal having an interest rate cap with a LIBOR
ceiling at 7.07% through 1997 and 7.7% thereafter.
(g) This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% and the loan
can be converted into a 10 year fixed rate loan any time
prior to 1999.
(h) As of December 31, 1996 this loan bore interest at LIBOR
plus 1.50%; however, on April 16, 1997 the Company
converted this into a fixed rate loan bearing interest at
7.89% and maturing in October 2006.
(i) Included in cash and cash equivalents is $3,045 and
$3,025 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively, of cash restricted under the terms of this
loan agreement.
Certain mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for
the early extinguishment of the debt.
Total interest expense capitalized during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 was $1,916 and $235, respectively.
The market value of mortgage notes payable at September 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 is estimated to be approximately $843,000 and $733,000,
respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans.

7. Bank Notes Payable:
The Company has a $50,000 unsecured line of credit with a bank. The line of
credit bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and matures in June 1998. There
was a $11,000 balance outstanding on the line of credit at September 30,
1997 and $12,000 at December 31, 1996. Also, at December 31, 1996 there was
a $57,000 unsecured note which was paid off in 1997.
8. Convertible Debentures:
On June 27, 1997, the Company issued and sold $150,000 of convertible
subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") due 2002. An additional $11,115
of debentures were sold in July, 1997. The Debentures, which were sold at
par, bear interest at 7.25% annually (payable semi-annually) and are
convertible at any time, on or after 60 days, from the date of issue at a
conversion price of $31.125 per share. The Debentures mature on December
15, 2002 and are callable by the Company after June 15, 2002 at par plus
accrued interest.
9. Related-Party Transactions:
The Company engages The Management Companies to manage the operations of
the unconsolidated joint ventures and other affiliated shopping centers.
The Management Companies are reflected under the equity method of
accounting for investments.
Certain mortgage notes were held by outside partners of the individual
Macerich Group partnerships. Interest expense in connection with these
notes was $2,538 and $2,688 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively, and $7,531 and $8,105 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and for 1996, respectively. Included in accrued interest
expense is interest payable to these partners of $491 and $516 at September
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.
10. Commitments and contingencies:
Certain partnerships have entered into noncancellable operating ground
leases. The leases expire at various times through 2060, subject in some
cases to options to extend the terms of the lease. Certain leases provide
for contingent rent payments based on a percent of base rent income, as
defined. Ground rent expenses were $573 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, and $580 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Ground
rent expenses were $231 and $192 for three months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively.
Perchloroethylene (PCE) has been detected in soil and groundwater in the
vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza. The
California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) has advised the
Company that very low levels of Dichlorethylene (1,2,DCE) a degradation
byproduct of PCE, have been detected in a water well located 1/4 mile west
from the dry cleaners, and that the dry cleaning facility may have
contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE into the water well. According
to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,2DCE which is permitted
in drinking water is 6 parts per billion (ppb); and the 1,2DCE was detected
in the water well at 1.2 ppb, which is below the MCL. The Company has
retained an environmental consultant and has initiated extensive testing of
the site. Remediation began in October, 1997. The joint venture that owns
that property had accrued a $620 reserve at September 30, 1997. In
addition, $220 has already been incurred, to cover professional fees,
testing costs and remediation.

10. Commitments and contingencies - Continued:
Toluene, a petroleum constituent, was detected in one of three groundwater
dewatering system holding tanks at the Queens Center. Although the source
of the toluene has not been fully defined, the Company suspects the source
to be a) an adjacent service station and/or b) a previous automotive
service station operation, which occurred on-site prior to development of
the mall. Toluene was detected at levels of 410 and 160 parts per billion
(ppb) in samples taken from the tank in October, 1995 and February 1996,
respectively. Additional samples were taken in May and December of 1996,
with results of .63 ppb and "non-detect" for the May sampling event and
16.2 ppb and 25.2 ppb for the December sampling event. The maximum
containment level (MCL) for toluene in drinking water is 150 ppb. Although
the Company believes that no remediation will be required, it has set up a
$150 reserve, of which $11 has already been incurred, to cover professional
fees and testing costs. The Company intends to look to the responsible
parties and insurers if remediation is required.
Dry cleaning chemicals, including PCE were detected in soil and groundwater
in the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at Villa Marina
Marketplace. The previous owner of the property has reported the release to
the local government authorities and has agreed, subject to a limited
indemnity agreement, to fully assess and remediate the site to the extent
required by those authorities. The previous owner removed the dominant
source of impacted soil in 1996. The local regulators have confirmed in
writing that no further action is required with respect to the soil and
have requested additional assessment of the groundwater. The previous owner
has conducted such assessment and has submitted its data to the local
regulators. Although the Company believes that it will not be required to
participate in assessment or remediation activities, it has set up a $150
reserve ($9 of which has already been incurred) to cover professional and
legal fees.
Dry cleaning chemicals including PCE were detected in soil and groundwater
in the vicinity of a former dry cleaning establishment at Huntington
Center. The release has been reported to the local government authorities.
The Company has retained an environmental consultant and is initiating
additional site assessment activities to attempt to determine the extent to
which groundwater has been impacted. The Company estimates, based on the
data currently available, that costs for assessment, remediation and legal
services will not exceed $500. Consequently, a $500 reserve was established
at the time of the acquisition ($9 of which has already been incurred) to
cover professional and legal fees. The Company intends to look to
responsible parties and insurers for cost recovery.
The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos has
been detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Mall.
Recent testing data conducted by a professional environmental consulting
firm indicates that the fireproofing is largely inaccessible to building
occupants and is well adhered to the structural members. Additionally,
airborne concentrations of asbestos are well within OSHA's permissible
exposure limit (PEL) of .1 fcc. The Company intends to abate asbestos
fireproofing as tenant spaces become vacant. A reserve of $3,300 was set up
at acquisition ($94 of which has already been incurred) to cover future
removal of this asbestos, as necessary.

Stonewood Mall was acquired in August, 1997 for approximately $92,000. The
Company paid cash for the acquisition and concurrently borrowed $58,000
from its credit facility collateralized by Villa Marina Marketplace. On a
pro forma basis, reflecting this acquisition as if it had occurred on
January 1, 1997, the Company would have reported, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, total revenues of $166,046, net income of $15,115, and
net income per share of $0.58. On a pro forma basis, if the acquisition had
occurred on January 1, 1996, the Company would have reported, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, total revenues of $120,182, net income of
$13,792 and net income per share of $0.69. This pro forma information is
based on assumptions management believes to be appropriate. The pro forma
information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would

THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Continued
As a result of the acquisitions, many of the variations in the results
of operations, discussed below, occurred due to the addition of these properties
to the portfolio during 1997 and 1996. Many factors, such the availability and
cost of capital, overall debt to market capitalization level, interest rates and
availability of potential acquisition targets that meet the Company's criteria,
impact the Company's ability to acquire additional properties. Accordingly,
management is uncertain as to whether during the balance of 1997, and in future
years, there will be similar acquisitions and corresponding increases in
revenues, net income and funds from operations that occurred as a result of the
1997 and 1996 Acquisition Centers. All other centers are referred to herein as
the "Same Centers".
The bankruptcy and/or closure of retail stores, particularly Anchors,
may reduce customer traffic and cash flow generated by a Center. During 1997
Montgomery Wards filed bankruptcy. The Company has nine Montgomery Wards stores
in its portfolio. Montgomery Wards has not as of yet disclosed whether they will
cease to operate any of their stores in the Company's centers. During 1995,
Federated Department Stores, Inc. announced the closure of the Broadway Stores
at Panorama and Huntington Center, and Weinstocks at Parklane. Although the
Panorama store has been sold to Wal-Mart, and the Company is replacing the other
two stores with multi-screen theater complexes. The long-term closure of these
or other stores could adversely affect the Company's performance.
In addition, the Company's success in the highly competitive real
estate shopping center business depends upon many other factors, including
general economic conditions, the ability of tenants to make rent payments,
increases or decreases in operating expenses, occupancy levels, changes in
demographics, competition from other centers and forms of retailing and the
ability to renew leases or relet space upon the expiration or termination of
leases.

THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)
Results of Operations - Nine months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
Revenues
Minimum and percentage rents together increased $32.2
million to $107.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $75.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The Acquisition Centers contributed virtually all of this increase.
Tenant recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased by $15.5 million. This was due to the addition of the 1997
and 1996 Acquisition Centers ($15.4 million) and increases in
recoveries at the Same Centers of $0.1 million which resulted from
higher recoverable expenses.
Expenses
Operating expenses, including shopping center, management,
leasing and ground rent expense, increased by $15.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
1996. This increase was due to the addition of the 1997 and 1996
Acquisition Centers ($16.2 million) partially offset by decreases in
the Same Centers recoverable expenses of $0.4 million. Depreciation and
amortization increased by $6.0 million. This increase was primarily due
to the 1996 Acquisition Centers. Interest expense increased by $16.9
million primarily due to the increased interest expense on debt used to
acquire to the 1997 and 1996 Acquisition Centers.
Income (Loss) From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and The Management
Companies
The income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and
management companies decreased to $(7.6) million compared to $2.9
million for the period ended September 30, 1996. This decrease was
primarily due to the write down of carrying costs to net realizable
value on North Valley Plaza. The Company's share of the write down is
$9,138.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
The Company paid off $160.2 million of debt during the second
and third quarters of 1997 resulting in unamortized loan costs of
$0.563 million being written off as an extraordinary item for the nine
months ending September 30, 1997 compared to $0.315 million for the
same period in 1996.
Net Income
Net income for the period increased to $14.8 million
compared to $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
This increase was due to the factors discussed above.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
As a result of the factors discussed above, cash flow from
operations increased to $54.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $43.6 million for the same period in 1996.
19
<PAGE>
THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities increased to
$(162.1) million from $(80.9) million due primarily to more cash being
used for acquisitions in 1997 compared to 1996.

<PAGE>
THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)
Results of Operations - Three months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
Revenues
Minimum and percentage rents together increased $12.2
million. Of this increase approximately $13.1 million related to the
1997 and 1996 Acquisition Centers. This was somewhat offset by a
decrease of $0.9 million from the Same Centers.
Tenant recoveries increased to $18.6 million in 1997, from
$11.5 million in 1996. The Acquisition Centers were responsible for
$4.2 million of this increase and the balance of the increase was
primarily from the Same Centers.
Expenses
Operating expenses, including shopping center and ground rent
expenses, increased by $7.6 million to $19.9 million in 1997, most of
the change related to the Acquisition Centers ($6.5 million). The
balance of the change was primarily due to higher Same Center
recoverable expenses of $1.1 million. Depreciation and amortization for
the quarter increased to $10.1 million from $8.1 million for the same
period in 1996. Approximately $2.2 million of this increase was
attributable to the Acquisition Centers. Interest expense increased
from $10.1 million in 1996 to $16.2 million in 1997. Most of the
increase related to debt assumed on, or debt incurred to acquire, the
Acquisition Centers.
Income (Loss) From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and
The Management Companies
The income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures and the
Management Companies decreased from $754 in 1996 to $(8.7) million in
1997. This decrease was primarily due to the write down of carrying
costs of net realizable value on North Valley Plaza. The Company's
share of the write down is $9,138.
Net Income
Net income for the period decreased to $1.9 million from
$4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. This
decrease was due to the factors discussed above.

THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity
requirements through cash generated from operations and working capital
reserves. The Company anticipates that revenues will continue to
provide necessary funds for its operating expenses and debt service
requirements, and to pay dividends to stockholders in accordance with
REIT requirements. The Company anticipates that cash generated from
operations, together with cash on hand, will be adequate to fund
capital expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants, other
than non-recurring capital expenditures. Capital for major expenditures
or redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be, obtained
from equity or debt financings.
The Company believes that it will have access to the capital
necessary to expand its business in accordance with its strategies for
growth and maximizing Funds from Operations. The Company presently
intends to obtain additional capital necessary to expand its business
through a combination of additional equity offerings and debt
financings.
The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at
September 30, 1997 was $1,017.9 billion (including its pro rata share
of joint venture debt). This equated to a debt to Total Market
Capitalization (defined as total debt of the Operating Partnership,
including its pro rata share of joint venture debt, plus aggregate
market value of outstanding shares of common stock, assuming full
conversion of OP Units into stock) rate of 47% at September 30, 1997.
Such debt consists primarily of conventional mortgages payable secured
by individual properties, plus $161.1 million of convertible debentures
maturing in December, 2002. At September 30, 1997 the Company had a
total of $126.1 million of floating rate indebtedness. In connection
with $65.1 million of the Company's floating rate indebtedness, the
Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements that limit
the Company's exposure to increases in interest rates.
The Company has filed a shelf registration, which is not yet
effective, to sell $500 million of common stock and common stock
warrants.
The Company's line of credit is $50 million. The outstanding
borrowings on the line of credit at September 30, 1997 were $11.0
million.
At September 30, 1997 the Company had cash and cash
equivalents available of $12.8 million.

THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)
Funds From Operations
The Company believes that the most significant measure of its
performance is Funds from Operations ("FFO"). FFO is defined by The
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to be:
Net income, excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization excluding
depreciation of personal property, amortization of financing cost and
amortization of financial instruments, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on
the same basis. Also, extraordinary items and significant non-recurring
events are excluded from the FFO calculation. FFO does not represent
cash flow from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund
all cash flow needs. The following reconciles net income to FFO:

The 1997 weighted average number of shares outstanding
includes the conversion of convertible debentures of $161,115,000,
bearing interest at 7.25% at a conversion price of $31.125, of which
$150,000,000 were issued on June 27, 1997 and an additional $11,115,000
were sold in July, 1997.
Included in minimum rents for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 were $2.6 million of rents attributable to the accounting
practice of "straight lining of rents." This compares to $1.3 million
for the same period in 1996.

THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)
Inflation
In the last three years, inflation has not had a
significant impact on the Company because of a relatively low inflation
rate. Substantially all the leases at the Centers have rent adjustments
periodically through the lease term. These rent increases are either in
fixed increments or based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. In
addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years,
which enables the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at
higher base rents if the rents of the existing leases are below the
then existing market rate. Additionally, most of the leases require the
tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses. This reduces
the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses
resulting from inflation.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Issued But Not Yet Effective
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" (EPS). SFAS No. 128 supercedes and simplifies
the existing computational guidelines under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 15. The new pronouncement is effective for
periods ended after December 15, 1997. Among other changes, SFAS No.
128 eliminates the presentation of primary EPS and replaces it with
basic EPS for which common stock equivalents are not considered in
the computation. SFAS No. 128 also revises the computation of
diluted EPS. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 128 to have
a material impact on its EPS, financial condition or results of
operations.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130 Reporting
Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a
full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income
is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a
period from transactions and other events and circumstances from
nonowner sources. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to
materially impact the Company's results of operations.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for disclosure about operating segments in annual
financial statements and selected information in interim financial
reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. This
statement supersedes SFAS No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a
Business Enterprise. The new standard becomes effective for the Company
for the year ending December 31, 1998, and requires that comparative
information from earlier years be restated to conform to the
requirements of this standard. The Company does not expect this
pronouncement to materially change the Company's current reporting and
disclosures.
