                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

            NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (Dollars in thousands)
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation:

         The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of The Macerich
         Company (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 unaudited interim consolidated  financial statements should be read
         in conjunction with the audited  consolidated  financial statements and
         related notes included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended  December 31, 1999.  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.  The
         accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet as of December  31, 1999 has
         been  derived  from  the  audited  financial  statements,  but does not
         include all disclosure required by GAAP.

         Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made in the  1999  consolidated
         financial  statements  to  conform  to  the  2000  financial  statement
         presentation.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
         Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,"
         ("SAB  101")  which  will be  effective  for  periods  beginning  after
         December  15,  1999.  This  bulletin  modified  the  timing of  revenue
         recognition  for  percentage  rent received  from tenants.  The Company
         expects this change to defer  recognition  of a  significant  amount of
         percentage  rent for the first three calendar  quarters into the fourth
         quarter.  The Company applied this  accounting  change as of January 1,
         2000. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle,  at
         the adoption  date of January 1, 2000,  including the pro rata share of
         joint ventures, was approximately $1,750,000.

         In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
         Standard  ("SFAS") 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and
         Hedging  Activities,"  ("SFAS 133") which requires  companies to record
         derivatives  on the balance sheet,  measured at fair value.  Changes in
         the fair values of those derivatives will be accounted for depending on
         the  use  of  the   derivative  and  whether  it  qualifies  for  hedge
         accounting.  The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging
         relationship must be highly effective in achieving  offsetting  changes
         in fair value or cash  flows.  In June 1999,  the FASB issues SFAS 137,
         "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities," which
         delays the  implementation  of SFAS 133 from January 1, 2000 to January
         1, 2001. The Company has not yet determined when it will implement SFAS
         133 nor has it completed the analysis  required to determine the impact
         on its consolidated financial statements.

         Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

         During  1998,  the  Company  implemented  SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings  per
         Share." The  computation  of basic  earnings  per share is based on net
         income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
         three months ending March 31, 2000 and 1999. The computation of diluted
         earnings per share includes the effect of outstanding  restricted stock
         and common stock options  calculated  using the Treasury  stock method.
         The  convertible  debentures and  convertible  preferred stock were not
         included in the  calculation  since the effect of their inclusion would
         be anti-dilutive. The Operating Partnership units ("OP units") not held
         by the Company have been included in the diluted EPS calculation  since
         they are  redeemable  on a  one-for-one  basis for  common  stock.  The
         following  table  reconciles  the basic and diluted  earnings per share
         calculation:

2.       Organization:

         The Company is involved in the acquisition,  ownership,  redevelopment,
         management  and  leasing of regional  and  community  shopping  centers
         located  throughout the United States.  The Company is the sole general
         partner  of, and owns a majority  of the  ownership  interests  in, The
         Macerich  Partnership,   L.P.,  a  Delaware  limited  partnership  (the
         "Operating  Partnership").  The  Operating  Partnership  owns or has an
         ownership  interest in 47 regional  shopping centers and five community
         shopping  centers  aggregating  approximately 42 million square feet of
         gross leasable area.  These 52 regional and community  shopping centers
         are  referred  to  hereinafter  as the  "Centers",  unless the  context
         otherwise requires. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed
         real  estate   investment  trust  ("REIT")  and  conducts  all  of  its

         The  Company  was  organized  to qualify  as a REIT under the  Internal
         Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The 20% limited partnership interest
         of the Operating  Partnership  not owned by the Company is reflected in
         these financial statements as minority interest.

3.       Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and the Management
         Companies, Continued:

         The Company  accounts for the  Management  Companies and joint ventures
         using the equity method of accounting.

         On February 18, 1999,  the Company,  through a 51/49 joint venture with
         Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("Ontario Teachers") closed on the
         first phase of a two phase  acquisition  of a portfolio of  properties.
         The phase one closing included the acquisition of three regional malls,
         the  retail  component  of a  mixed-use  development,  five  contiguous
         properties and two non-contiguous community shopping centers comprising
         approximately  3.6 million  square feet for a total  purchase  price of
         approximately  $427,000.  The purchase price was funded with a $120,000
         loan placed  concurrently  with the  closing,  $140,400 of debt from an
         affiliate of the seller,  and $39,400 of assumed  debt.  The balance of
         the purchase  price was paid in cash.  The Company's  share of the cash
         component was funded with the proceeds from two refinancings of centers
         and borrowings  under the Company's  line of credit.  On July 12, 1999,
         the Company closed on the second phase of the  acquisition.  The second
         phase  consisted  of the  acquisition  of the office  component  of the
         mixed-use  development for a purchase price of approximately  $111,000.
         The purchase  price was funded with a $76,700 loan placed  concurrently
         with the closing and the balance was paid in cash. The Company's  share
         of the cash  component was funded from  borrowings  under the Company's
         line of credit.

         On June 2, 1999,  Macerich Cerritos,  LLC ("Cerritos"),  a wholly-owned
         subsidiary of Macerich Management Company, acquired Los Cerritos Center
         in Cerritos,  California.  The total purchase price was $188,000, which
         was funded with $120,000 of debt placed  concurrently  with the closing
         and a $70,800 loan from the Company.  The Company funded this loan from
         borrowings under a $60,000 bank loan agreement and the balance from the
         Company's line of credit.

         On October  26,  1999,  49% of the  membership  interests  of  Macerich
         Stonewood,  LLC  ("Stonewood"),  Cerritos  and Macerich  Lakewood,  LLC
         ("Lakewood"),  were sold to Ontario Teachers' and concurrently  Ontario
         Teachers' and the Company  contributed their 99% collective  membership
         interests  in  Stonewood  and  Cerritos  and 100% of  their  collective
         membership  interests  in  Lakewood  to Pacific  Premier  Retail  Trust
         ("PPRT"),  a real estate investment trust,  owned  approximately 51% by
         the  Company  and 49% by Ontario  Teachers.  Lakewood,  Stonewood,  and
         Cerritos own Lakewood  Mall,  Stonewood  Mall and Los Cerritos  Center,
         respectively.  The total  value of the  transaction  was  approximately
         $535,000.  The properties were  contributed to PPRT subject to existing
         debt  of  $322,000.   The  net  cash   proceeds  to  the  Company  were
         approximately  $104,000  which were used for  reduction of debt and for
         general corporate purposes.

         The  results  of these  joint  ventures  are  included  for the  period
         subsequent to their respective dates of acquisition.

         On October 27, 1999,  Albany  Plaza,  a 145,462  square foot  community
         center,  which was owned 51% by the Macerich  Management  Company,  was
         sold.

         Companies - Continued:


     Significant  accounting policies used by the unconsolidated  joint ventures
     and the Management Companies are similar to those used by the Company.

     Included  in mortgage  notes  payable  are  amounts  due to  affiliates  of
     Northwestern  Mutual Life  ("NML") of $158,854 and $156,219 for the periods
     ended March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. NML is considered
     a related party  because it is a joint venture  partner with the Company in
     Macerich  Northwestern  Associates.  Interest  expense  incurred  on  these
     borrowings  amounted to $2,495 and $1,231 for the three  months ended March
     31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

(a)           This represents the monthly payment of principal and interest.

(b)           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 $130 and $113 for
              the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  and  March 31,  1999,
              respectively.

(c)           This  note  was  issued  at a  discount.  The  discount  is  being
              amortized  over the life of the loan using the effective  interest
              method.  At March 31, 2000 and December  31, 1999 the  unamortized
              discount was $356 and $364, respectively.

(d)           This  loan  is  cross  collateralized  by  Green  Tree  Mall,
              Crossroads  Mall-Oklahoma  and the  Centre  at Salisbury.

5.            Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued:

(e)         The loan bears  interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%.  In  addition, the
            Company can  increase the loan amount up to $90,000.


(f)         Reflects the Company's pro rata share of debt.

(g)         On August 15, 1995, the Company issued $127,000 of  collateralized
            fixed rate  notes (the  "Notes").  The Notes bear  interest  at an
            average  fixed rate of 7.20% and  mature in July  2005.  The Notes
            require  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 March 31, 2000 and at December  31,
            1999. All of the Notes were assumed by the Pacific  Premier Retail
            Trust joint venture on October 26, 1999.

(h)         In  connection  with the  acquisition  of this  Center,  the joint
            venture  assumed  $39,425 of debt. At  acquisition,  this debt was
            recorded  at fair  market  value  of  $41,475  which  included  an
            unamortized  premium of $2,050. This premium is being amortized as
            interest  expense  over the life of the loan  using the  effective
            interest method.  The joint venture's monthly debt service is $349
            and is calculated  based on an 8.60%  interest  rate. At March 31,
            2000 and  December  31,  1999,  the  joint  venture's  unamortized
            premium was $1,162 and $1,365, respectively.

(i)         Concurrent with the acquisition,  the joint venture placed $76,700
            of  debt  and  obtained  a  construction  loan  for an  additional
            $16,000.  Principal is drawn on the construction loan as costs are
            incurred.  As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, $10,180 and
            $6,745 of principal  has been drawn under the  construction  loan,
            respectively.

(j)         The loan bears  interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%.  At March 31, 2000
            and December 31,  1999,  the total  interest was 7.66% and 8.23%,
            respectively.

(k)         In connection  with the acquisition of these Centers,  the joint
            venture  assumed  $485,000 of mortgage notes payable which are
            secured by the  properties.  At  acquisition,  the $300,000 fixed
            rate portion of this debt reflected a fair market value of $322,700,
            which included an unamortized premium of $22,700.  This premium is
            being  amortized as interest  expense over the life of the loan
            using the effective  interest method.  At March 31, 2000 and
            December  31,  1999,  the  unamortized  balance of the debt premium
            was $17,968  and  $18,565,  respectively.  This debt is due in May
            2006 and  requires  monthly  payments  of $1,852. $184,500 of this
            debt is due in May 2003 and requires monthly  interest  payments at
            a variable weighted  average  rate (based on LIBOR) of 6.72% and
            6.96% at March 31,  2000 and  December  31,  1999, respectively.
            This variable rate debt is covered by an interest rate cap agreement
            which  effectively prevents the interest rate from exceeding 11.53%.
            On April 12, 2000, the joint venture issued $138,500 of additional
            mortgage notes which are secured by the  properties  and are due in
            May 2006.  $57,100 of this debt requires  fixed monthly interest at
            a weighted  average rate of 8.13% while the floating rate notes of
            $81,400 require monthly  interest  payments at a variable  weighted
            average rate of LIBOR plus 0.37%. This variable rate debt is covered
            by an interest rate cap agreement which effectively prevents the
            interest rate from exceeding 11.83%.

5.       Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued:

(l)         On January 4, 1999, the joint venture replaced the old debt with a
            new loan of $40,000.  The loan has an  interest  rate of 6.52% and
            matures January 2009. The debt is interest only until January 2001
            at which time monthly  payments of principal  and interest will be
            due of $299.

         The Company  periodically enters into treasury lock agreements in order
         to hedge its  exposure to interest  rate  fluctuations  on  anticipated
         financings.  Under these  agreements,  the Company  pays or receives an
         amount equal to the  difference  between the treasury lock rate and the
         market rate on the date of settlement,  based on the notional amount of
         the hedge.  The realized  gain or loss on the  contracts is recorded on
         the balance  sheet in other assets and  amortized  as interest  expense
         over the period of the hedged loans.

         Certain mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision
         for the early extinguishment of the debt.

         Total interest capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2000
         and March 31, 1999 was $1,098 and $966, respectively.

         The market value of mortgage notes payable for the wholly-owned Centers
         at  March  31,  2000  and   December   31,  1999  is  estimated  to  be
         approximately $1,212,571 and $1,179,469, respectively, based on current
         interest rates for comparable loans.

6.       Bank and Other Notes Payable:

         The  Company  has a credit  facility  of  $150,000  with a maturity  of
         February  2001  currently  bearing  interest at LIBOR plus  1.15%.  The
         interest  rate on such credit  facility  fluctuates  between  0.95% and
         1.15% over LIBOR.  As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,  $80,400
         and $57,400 of borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit at
         interest  rates of 7.2% and 7.65%,  respectively.  As of May 15,  2000,
         $7,400 was outstanding under this line of credit.

         Additionally, the Company issued $776 in letters of credit guaranteeing
         performance by the Company of certain obligations. The Company does not
         believe that these  letters of credit will result in a liability to the
         Company.

         During January 1999, the Company entered into a bank  construction loan
         agreement  to fund  $89,200 of costs  related to the  redevelopment  of
         Pacific View.  The loan bears  interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures
         in  February  2001.  Principal  is  drawn  as  construction  costs  are
         incurred.  As of March 31,  2000 and  December  31,  1999,  $79,101 and
         $72,671 of principal has been drawn under the loan, respectively.

         In addition,  the Company had a note payable of $30,600 due in February
         2000  payable to the seller of the  acquired  portfolio.  The note bore
         interest at 6.5%.  The entire $30,600 loan was paid off on February 18,
         2000.

            NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (Dollars in thousands)
                                   (Unaudited)

7.       Convertible Debentures:

         During  1997,  the  Company  issued and sold  $161,400  of  convertible
         subordinated  debentures (the  "Debentures")  due 2002. 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.

8.       Related-Party Transactions:

         The Company  engaged the Management  Companies to manage the operations
         of its properties and certain  unconsolidated  joint ventures.  For the
         three months ending March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999,  management fees
         of $713 and $808 respectively, were paid to the Management Companies by
         the Company.  For the three months  ending March 31, 2000 and March 31,
         1999,  management fees of $2,013 and $885,  respectively,  were paid to
         the Management Companies by the joint ventures.

         Certain  mortgage notes are held by one of the Company's  joint venture
         partners.  Interest  expense in connection  with these notes was $2,519
         and  $2,513  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and  1999,
         respectively.  Included  in accounts  payable  and accrued  expenses is
         interest  payable to these  partners of $512 and $513 at March 31, 2000
         and December 31, 1999, respectively.

         In 1997 and 1999 certain  executive  officers  received  loans from the
         Company  totaling  $6,500.   These  loans  are  full  recourse  to  the
         executives.  $6,000 of the  loans  were  issued  under the terms of the
         employee stock incentive plan, bear interest at 7%, are due in 2007 and
         2009  and  are  secured  by  the  Company  common  stock  owned  by the
         executives.  The remaining loan is non interest bearing and is forgiven
         ratably over a five year term.  These loans  receivable are included in
         other assets at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

         Certain Company  officers and affiliates  have guaranteed  mortgages of
         $21,750 at one of the Company's joint venture  properties and $2,000 at
         Greeley Mall.

9.       Commitments and Contingencies:

         The Company has certain properties subject to noncancellable  operating
         ground leases. The leases expire at various times through 2070, subject
         in some cases to  options  to extend  the terms of the  lease.  Certain
         leases  provide for  contingent  rent payments based on a percentage of
         base rental income, as defined. Ground rent expenses were $198 and $199
         for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. There
         were no contingent rents in either period.

9.       Commitments and Contingencies, Continued:

         Perchloroethylene  ("PCE") has been detected in soil and groundwater in
         the vicinity of a dry  cleaning  establishment  at North Valley  Plaza,
         formerly  owned by a joint  venture  of  which  the  Company  was a 50%
         member.  The property was sold on December  18,  1997.  The  California
         Department of Toxic Substances  Control ("DTSC") advised the Company in
         1995  that  very  low  levels  of   Dichloroethylene   ("1,2  DCE"),  a
         degradation  byproduct of PCE, had been  detected in a municipal  water
         well  located  1/4  mile  west of 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 1,2 DCE which is permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per
         billion  ("ppb").  The 1,2  DCE was  detected  in the  water  well at a
         concentration  of 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  agreed  (between  itself  and  the  buyer)  that it  would  be
         responsible for continuing to pursue the  investigation and remediation
         of impacted soil and  groundwater  resulting  from releases of PCE from
         the former dry cleaner.  $18 and $31 have already been  incurred by the
         joint venture for remediation,  and professional and legal fees for the
         periods  ending March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  An  additional
         $240 remains  reserved by the joint  venture as of March 31, 2000.  The
         joint  venture  has been  sharing  costs on a 50/50 basis with a former
         owner of the  property  and intends to look to  additional  responsible
         parties for recovery.

         The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos has
         been detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Center.
         Testing data conducted by professional  environmental  consulting firms
         indicates that the  fireproofing  is largely  inaccessible  to building
         occupants and is well adhered to the structural members.  Additionally,
         airborne concentrations of asbestos were well within OSHA's permissible
         exposure limit ("PEL") of .1 fcc. The  accounting for this  acquisition
         includes a reserve of $3,300 to cover future  removal of this asbestos,
         as necessary. The Company incurred $13 and $56 in remediation costs for
         the three  months  ending  March 31,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  An
         additional $2,770 remains reserved at March 31, 2000.

10.      Redeemable Preferred Stock:

         On February 25, 1998, the Company issued  3,627,131  shares of Series A
         cumulative  convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series A Preferred
         Stock") for  proceeds  totaling  $100,000 in a private  placement.  The
         preferred  stock can be  converted  on a one for one basis into  common
         stock and will pay a quarterly  dividend  equal to the greater of $0.46
         per share, or the dividend then payable on a share of common stock.

         On June 17,  1998,  the  Company  issued  5,487,471  shares of Series B
         cumulative  convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series B Preferred
         Stock") for  proceeds  totaling  $150,000 in a private  placement.  The
         preferred  stock can be  converted  on a one for one basis into  common
         stock and will pay a quarterly  dividend  equal to the greater of $0.46
         per share, or the dividend then payable on a share of common stock.

               Companies.

         The  financial  statements  include  the  results of these  Centers for
         periods subsequent to their acquisition.

         On February 18, 1999, the Company, through a 51/49 joint venture, known
         as Pacific  Premier  Retail  Trust  ("PPRT"),  with  Ontario  Teachers'
         Pension Plan Board ("Ontario  Teachers")  acquired  Washington  Square,
         Redmond  Town Center,  Cascade  Mall,  Kitsap Mall and five  contiguous
         properties.

         On October  26,  1999,  49% of the  membership  interests  of  Macerich
         Stonewood,  LLC  ("Stonewood"),  Cerritos  and Macerich  Lakewood,  LLC
         ("Lakewood"),  were sold to Ontario Teachers' and concurrently  Ontario
         Teachers' and the Company  contributed their 99% collective  membership
         interests  in  Stonewood  and  Cerritos  and 100% of  their  collective
         membership  interests  in  Lakewood to PPRT,  a real estate  investment
         trust,  owned  approximately  51% by the  Company  and  49% by  Ontario
         Teachers.   Lakewood,   Stonewood,  and  Cerritos  own  Lakewood  Mall,
         Stonewood Mall and Los Cerritos Center,  respectively.  The total value
         of the  transaction  was  approximately  $535,000.  The properties were
         contributed to PPRT subject to existing debt of $322,000.  The net cash
         proceeds to the Company were approximately $104,000 which were used for
         reduction  of debt and for general  corporate  purposes.  Lakewood  and
         Stonewood are referred to herein as the "Contributed JV Assets."

         On October 27, 1999,  Albany  Plaza,  a 145,462  square foot  community
         center,  which was owned 51% by the Macerich  Management  Company,  was

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations, Continued:

         The 1999 Joint  Venture  Acquisitions  are  reflected  using the equity
         method of accounting.  The results of these  acquisitions are reflected
         in the  consolidated  results of operations of the Company in equity in
         income of unconsolidated joint ventures and the Management Companies.

         Many of the variations in the results of operations,  discussed  below,
         occurred  due  to  the  1999  Joint  Venture  Acquisitions,   the  1999
         Acquisition  Center  and  the  partial  sale  and  contribution  of the
         Contributed  JV Assets to PPRT during  1999.  Many  factors  impact the
         Company's  ability  to acquire  additional  properties;  including  the
         availability   and  cost  of  capital,   the  overall  debt  to  market
         capitalization  level,  interest  rates and  availability  of potential
         acquisition  targets  that meet the  Company's  criteria.  Accordingly,
         management is uncertain whether during 2000, and in future years, there
         will be similar  acquisitions and corresponding  increases in equity in
         income of  unconsolidated  joint ventures and the Management  Companies
         and funds from  operations  that occurred as a result of the 1999 Joint
         Venture  Acquisition  Centers.   Management  anticipates  the  pace  of
         acquisitions  to slow  considerably  in 2000 compared to 1999.  Pacific
         View (formerly known as Buenaventura Mall), Crossroads Mall-Boulder and
         Parklane Mall are  currently  under  redevelopment  and are referred to
         herein as the "Redevelopment Centers." All other Centers, excluding the
         1999 Acquisition  Center, the 1999 Joint Venture  Acquisition  Centers,
         the Contributed JV Assets and  Redevelopment  Centers,  are referred to
         herein as the "Same Centers," unless the context otherwise requires.

         The  bankruptcy  and/or  closure  of an  Anchor,  or its sale to a less
         desirable retailer, could adversely affect customer traffic in a Center
         and thereby  reduce the income  generated by that Center.  Furthermore,
         the closing of an Anchor  could,  under  certain  circumstances,  allow
         certain  other  Anchors or other  tenants to terminate  their leases or
         cease  operating  their  stores at the  Center or  otherwise  adversely
         affect occupancy at the Center.  Other retail stores at the Centers may
         also seek the protection of bankruptcy laws and/or close stores,  which
         could  result  in the  termination  of such  tenants  and thus  cause a
         reduction in cash flow generated by the Centers.

         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.

Results of Operations

          Revenues  Minimum and  percentage  rents  decreased  by 10.6% to $48.7
          million in 2000 from $54.5 million in 1999. Approximately $7.1 million
          of the  decrease  related to the  contribution  of 100% and 99% of the
          membership   interests   of   Lakewood   Mall  and   Stonewood   Mall,
          respectively,  to the PPRT  joint  venture  on October  26,  1999.  In

          rent until the tenant's  annual sales  breakpoint  has been  exceeded.
          While  annual  revenue  from  percentage  rent will not be  materially
          impacted by this change,  the majority of percentage  rent will now be
          recognized  in the fourth  quarter of each year,  rather  than  spread
          throughout  the year. The impact of SAB 101 for the three months ended
          March 31, 2000  represented  approximately  a $2.2  million  decrease.
          These  decreases  are  offset by  revenue  increases  of $2.4  million
          relating to the 1999  acquisition of Santa Monica Place,  $0.6 million
          increase at the Redevelopment Centers and $1.2 million of the increase
          was attributable to the Same Centers.

         Tenant recoveries increased to $24.6 million in 2000 from $23.1 million
         in 1999.  The 1999  acquisition  of Santa Monica Place  generated  $1.6
         million of the increase, $1.8 million of the increase was from the Same
         Centers  and  $0.5  million  from  the  Redevelopment   Centers.  These
         increases  were partially  offset by revenue  decreases of $2.2 million
         resulting from the  contribution of Lakewood Mall and Stonewood Mall to
         the PPRT joint venture.

         Other  income  increased  to $2.0  million in 2000 from $1.2 million in
         1999.  Approximately  $0.4 million of the increase  related to the 1999
         acquisition of Santa Monica Place, and $0.4 million of the increase was
         attributable to the Same Centers.

         Expenses

         Shopping center expenses increased to $23.9 million in 2000 compared to
         $23.3  million in 1999.  Approximately  $2.5  million  of the  increase
         resulted from the 1999 acquisition of Santa Monica Place,  $1.2 million
         of the increase resulted from increased  property taxes and recoverable
         expenses at the Same Centers.  Additionally,  the Redevelopment Centers
         had an increase of $0.3 million in shopping center  expenses  resulting
         primarily from increased property taxes and recoverable expenses. These
         increases were offset by $2.3 million  resulting from the  contribution
         of Lakewood Mall and Stonewood Mall to the PPRT joint venture.

         General and  administrative  expenses increased to $1.5 million in 2000
         from $1.4 million in 1999 primarily as a result of higher executive and
         director compensation expense.

         Interest Expense

         Interest expense  increased to $28.2 million in 2000 from $26.8 million
         in 1999. This increase of $1.4 million is primarily attributable to the
         acquisition  activity in 1999,  which was partially funded with secured
         debt and borrowings under the Company's line of credit and is offset by
         $2.3 million from the  contribution  of Lakewood Mall to the PPRT joint
         venture.

Results of Operations - Continued:

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

         Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation and  amortization  decreased to $14.5 million in 2000 from
         $15.3  million  in  1999.  This  decrease  relates   primarily  to  the
         contribution  of  Lakewood  Mall and  Stonewood  Mall to the PPRT joint
         venture.

         Income From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Management Companies

         The  income  from  unconsolidated  joint  ventures  and the  Management
         Companies was $6.7 million for 2000, compared to income of $5.3 million
         in 1999. A total of $3.1 million of the change is  attributable  to the
         1999 Joint Venture  Acquisitions  and the Contributed JV Assets.  These
         increases  are partially  offset by the change in accounting  principle
         for percentage rent required by SAB 101 of $1.1 million.

         Extraordinary Loss from  Early Extinguishment of Debt

         In 1999,  the Company wrote off $1.0 million of  unamortized  financing
         costs, compared to no financing costs written off in 2000.

         Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

         As  a  result  of  the  foregoing,   net  income  available  to  common
         stockholders  decreased  to $6.3  million in 2000 from $8.9  million in
         1999.

         Operating Activities

         Cash flow from  operations  was $25.4 million in 2000 compared to $22.3
         million in 1999.  The  increase is primarily  because of increased  net
         operating income from the factors mentioned above.

         Investing Activities

         Cash  flow  used in  investing  activities  was  $9.0  million  in 2000
         compared to $104.7 million in 1999. The change resulted  primarily from
         the cash  contributions  required by the Company for the joint  venture
         acquisitions of $70.1 million in 1999 compared to $0.4 million in 2000.

         Financing Activities

         Cash  flow  from  financing  activities  was  ($26.0)  million  in 2000
         compared to $81.2 million in 1999. The change  resulted  primarily from
         the refinancing of Centers in 1999.

         Funds From Operations

         Primarily because of the factors mentioned above,  including the impact
         of the change in accounting  for  percentage  rent required by SAB 101,
         Funds from  Operations - Diluted  decreased 2% to $37.8 million in 2000
         from $38.6 million in 1999.

         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 major  redevelopments  has been,  and is expected to continue to be,
         obtained from equity or debt financings which include  borrowings under
         the Company's  line of credit and  construction  loans.  However,  many
         factors  impact the Company's  ability to access  capital,  such as its
         overall debt to market  capitalization  level, interest rates, interest
         coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions. The Company currently
         is undertaking a $90 million redevelopment of Pacific View. The Company
         has a bank  construction  loan agreement to fund $89.2 million of these
         construction costs.

         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  public and private equity  offerings,  debt
         financings  and/or joint  ventures.  During 1998 and 1999,  the Company
         acquired two portfolios  through joint ventures.  The Company  believes
         such joint venture  arrangements  provide an attractive  alternative to
         other forms of financing.

         The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at March 31, 2000 was
         $2.2 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 Company,  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 and preferred  stock into common
         stock) ratio of approximately 66% at March 31, 2000. The Company's debt
         consists primarily of fixed-rate conventional mortgages payable secured
         by individual properties.

         The  Company  has  filed  a  shelf  registration  statement,  effective
         December 8, 1997, to sell securities.  The shelf  registration is for a
         total of $500 million of common stock,  common stock warrants or common
         stock rights. During 1998, the Company sold a total of 7,920,181 shares
         of common stock under this shelf  registration.  The aggregate offering
         price of these transactions was approximately  $212.9 million,  leaving
         approximately  $287.1 million  available  under the shelf  registration
         statement.

         The Company has an unsecured  line of credit for up to $150.0  million.
         There was $80.4 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2000. As
         of May 15,  2000,  $7.4  million  was  outstanding  under  this line of
         credit.

         At March 31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents  available
         of $30.8 million.

         and Results of Operations, Continued:

         Year 2000 Compliance

         Approximately  two  years  ago,  the  Company  initiated  a  Year  2000
         compliance  program  which  consisted  of  the  following  phases:  (1)
         identification  of Year  2000  issues;  (2)  assessment  of  Year  2000
         compliance of systems;  (3) remediation or replacement of non-compliant
         systems; (4) testing of critical systems to verify compliance;  and (5)
         contingency planning, as appropriate. This program included a review of
         both information  technology ("IT") and non-IT systems of the Company's
         offices and the Centers in which the Company has an ownership  interest
         and manages. In addition,  material tenants, anchors and vendors of the
         Centers were surveyed for Year 2000  compliance and  contingency  plans
         were prepared for each Center.

         Two of the key dates of the Company's Year 2000 program were January 1,
         2000 and  February  29,  2000.  The  Company  encountered  no Year 2000
         compliance  issues with any operating system,  material tenant,  anchor
         and/or vendor on either date. As of March 31, 2000, the Company did not
         expend significant amounts for the Year 2000 compliance program.

          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 (loss)  (computed in accordance  with GAAP),  excluding
          gains (or losses) from debt  restructuring  and sales or write-down of
          assets, plus depreciation and amortization  (excluding depreciation on
          personal  property and  amortization of loan and financial  instrument
          costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities.  Adjustments
          for unconsolidated entities are calculated on the same basis. FFO does
          not represent  cash flow from  operations,  as defined by GAAP, and is
          not  necessarily  indicative  of cash  available to fund all cash flow
          needs.  The  following  reconciles  net  income  available  to  common
          stockholders to FFO:

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)


         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations, Continued:


      1)  Calculated  based upon basic net income as adjusted to reach basic
          FFO.  Weighted  average number of shares includes the weighted average
          number  of  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding  for  2000 and 1999
          assuming the conversion of all outstanding OP units.

      2)  The  computation  of FFO - diluted  and diluted  average  number of
          shares  outstanding  includes the effect of  outstanding  common stock
          options and restricted  stock using the treasury  method.  Convertible
          debentures are dilutive for the three months ending March 31, 2000 and
          therefore assumed  converted to equity to calculate FFO - diluted.  On
          February  25,  1998,  the  Company  sold $100  million of its Series A
          Preferred  Stock.  On June 17, 1998,  the Company sold $150 million of
          its Series B  Preferred  Stock Each series of  preferred  stock can be
          converted  on a one for one basis for common  stock.  These  preferred
          shares are not assumed  converted for purposes of net income per share
          as they would be  anti-dilutive  to that  calculation.  The  preferred
          shares are assumed  converted for purposes of FFO diluted per share as
          they are dilutive to that calculation.

         Included in minimum  rents were rents  attributable  to the  accounting
         practice of  straight-lining of rents. The amount of straight-lining of
         rents that impacted minimum rents was $0.2 million and $0.6 million for
         the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Inflation

         In the last three years,  inflation has not had a significant impact on
         the Company  because of a relatively  low inflation  rate.  Most of 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.

         Seasonality

         The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the
         fourth quarter  during the holiday  season when retailer  occupancy and
         retail  sales are  typically  at their  highest  levels.  In  addition,
         shopping  malls  achieve  a  substantial  portion  of  their  specialty
         (temporary  retailer) rents during the holiday  season.  As a result of
         the above,  plus the accounting  change  discussed below for percentage
         rent,  earnings  are  generally  highest in the fourth  quarter of each
         year.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)


         New Accounting Pronouncements Issued

         In December 1999, the  Securities and Exchange  Committee  issued Staff
         Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial  Statements"
         ("SAB  101"),  which will be  effective  for  periods  beginning  after
         December  15,  1999.  This  bulletin  modified  the  timing of  revenue
         recognition  for  percentage  rent received  from tenants.  The Company
         expects this change to defer  recognition  of a  significant  amount of
         percentage  rent for the first three calendar  quarters into the fourth
         quarter.  The Company applied this  accounting  change as of January 1,
         2000. The cumulative  effect of this change in accounting  principle at
         the adoption  date of January 1, 2000,  including the pro rata share of
         joint ventures, was approximately $1,750,000.

         In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
         Standard  ("SFAS") 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and
         Hedging  Activities,"  ("SFAS 133") which requires  companies to record
         derivatives  on the balance sheet,  measured at fair value.  Changes in
         the fair values of those derivatives will be accounted for depending on
         the  use  of  the   derivative  and  whether  it  qualifies  for  hedge
         accounting.  The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging
         relationship must be highly effective in achieving  offsetting  changes
         in fair value or cash  flows.  In June 1999,  the FASB issued SFAS 137,
         "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities," which
         delays the  implementation  of SFAS 133 from January 1, 2000 to January
         1, 2001. The Company has not yet determined when it will implement SFAS
         133 nor has it completed the analysis  required to determine the impact
         on its financial statements.

                                     Item 3
           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The Company's  primary  market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The
         Company has managed and will  continue to manage  interest rate risk by
         (1) maintaining a conservative  ratio of fixed rate,  long-term debt to
         total debt such that  variable  rate  exposure is kept at an acceptable
         level,  (2)  reducing  interest  rate  exposure  on  certain  long-term
         variable  rate  debt  through  the  use  of  interest  rate  caps  with
         appropriately matching maturities,  (3) using treasury rate locks where
         appropriate  to fix rates on  anticipated  debt  transactions,  and (4)
         taking  advantage of favorable  market  conditions  for long-term  debt
         and/or equity.

         The  following  table  sets  forth  information  as of March  31,  2000
         concerning  the  Company's  long  term  debt   obligations,   including
         principal cash flows by scheduled  maturity,  weighted average interest
         rates and estimated fair value ("FV").

</TABLE>


         Of the $282.8  million of variable  rate debt  maturing in 2001,  $80.4
         million  represents  the  outstanding  borrowings  under the  Company's
         credit facility.  As of May 15, 2000, $7,400 was outstanding under this
         line of credit.  Additionally,  $79.1  million  represents  outstanding
         borrowings under the Pacific View construction loan.

         In addition,  the Company has assessed the market risk for its variable
         rate debt and  believes  that a 1%  increase  in  interest  rates would
         decrease future earnings and cash flows by  approximately  $3.8 million
         per year based on $375.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2000.

         The fair value of the  Company's  long term debt is estimated  based on
         discounted  cash  flows at  interest  rates  that  management  believes
         reflect the risks  associated  with long term debt of similar  risk and
         duration.
