     2002 proved to be a productive and successful  year for the Company and for
our shareholders. Some significant accomplishments were:

1.       For the third consecutive year, the Company's total return to
         shareholders exceeded 30%, producing a three-year average total return
         in excess of 33%.
2.       We achieved FFO per share for the year of $4.34, a 10.2% increase. This
         is our fifth  consecutive  year of  double-digit  FFO growth.
3.       The Board of Directors increased the annual common dividend by 18% to
         $2.62 per share. 4. We completed a follow-on offering of 3.3 million
         common shares raising approximately $115 million. 5. The Company issued
         2.0 million shares of 8.75% Series B Preferred shares raising $100
         million. 6. We opened over 870,000 square feet of new developments.
7.       We acquired three malls for approximately $208 million with a blended
         cap rate of 9.8% on income in place. 8. We acquired the remaining
         ownership interests in three malls and one associated center, for a
         total purchase price of $112.9
         million.
9.       We closed  non-recourse  CMBS financings of $407 million for a ten-year
         term, at a combined  interest rate of 6.51%,  for nine individual
         properties.

I will now review the specifics of our performance and results for 2002.

     DEVELOPMENTS  ------------ In 2002 we opened  approximately  870,000 square
feet of new developments.  Our largest  development was Parkway Place, a 630,000
square foot  regional mall in  Huntsville,  AL that opened in October with great
success.  Shoppers  eagerly  awaited the opening of the doors,  and as a result,
many of the retailers  achieved record sales.  The grand opening week was filled
with  activities  for  shoppers,  and  in  November  several  additional  stores
including Abercrombie & Fitch, abercrombie, Hollister and Express opened for the
holidays.

                                       2


     During the fourth quarter we also opened Parkdale  Crossing,  an associated
center located in Beaumont, TX. This was the first new development at one of the
former  Jacobs  malls that we acquired in 2001.  We also  opened  expansions  at
Meridian Mall,  Lansing,  MI; Springdale Mall,  Mobile,  AL; Kentucky Oaks Mall,
Paducah, KY and Bonita Lakes Crossing,  Meridian,  MS. We commenced construction
on Wilkes-Barre  Township  Marketplace,  a 312,000 square-foot  community center
located in Wilkes-Barre  Township,  PA that will be anchored by Wal-Mart.  These
developments in total represent an investment of $66.4 million.

     Our  largest  project  currently  under  construction  is the Mall of South
Carolina in Myrtle Beach,  SC, a 1.5 million square foot regional mall that is a
50/50  joint  venture  with  Burroughs  and  Chapin.  Retailers  have  responded
enthusiastically  to this project and 67% of the  non-anchor  square  footage is
committed even though the mall is not scheduled to open until March 2004. Of the
300,000 square feet committed, 135,000 square feet represents new tenants to the
market, and the mall will mark Dillard's entry into the market.  Myrtle Beach is
an exciting tourist destination, attracting over 13 million visitors annually.

     Including  the  Myrtle  Beach  project,  we  currently  have a total of 2.5
million square feet under construction. The projects also include one associated
center  and  three   community   centers.   For  projects  under   construction,
approximately  $164.0 million has been committed of which $59.7 million has been
invested as of December 31, 2002. Construction loans or credit facilities are in
place for the remaining costs.  Initial unleveraged yields on these developments
are expected to range from 9% to 10%,  after  management and  development  fees,
with  stabilized  yields  ranging  from 10% to 11%. We also have  several  other
projects in various phases of pre-development.

     Strengthening our existing properties is a major focus of ours, and as part
of this effort during 2002 we accomplished a number of notable anchor  additions
to our properties:

|X|      Rich's, a division of Federated announced that they will become the
         fifth department store at Arbor Place in Atlanta, GA in the fall of
         2004.
|X|      Belk opened at College Square, Morristown, TN replacing a closed
         Wal-Mart.
|X|      At Parkdale Mall, Beaumont, TX, Foley's opened a 170,000 square foot
         department store in August replacing a closed Montgomery Wards, and a
         26,000 square foot Linens-n-Things will open in the summer of 2003.
|X|      At Meridian  Mall, in Lansing,  MI,  Galyan's  opened their new 80,000
         square foot store and Younkers will open next spring in the closed
         Jacobson's store.
|X|      Dillard's opened new department stores at Randolph Mall, Asheboro, NC,
         and Asheville Mall, Asheville, NC; both stores replaced closed
         department stores. Dillard's also expanded and remodeled their store at
         Jefferson Mall in Louisville, KY.

     Upgrading and renovating our malls is a key to their continued dominance in
their markets.  In 2002 we completed the remodeling of five malls as well as one
associated center. This year we have six renovations  scheduled for a total cost
of approximately $68 million excluding deferred maintenance.

LEASING & OCCUPANCY
-------------------

     At the end of the fourth quarter our total  portfolio  occupancy was 93.8%.
Occupancy for the mall  portfolio was 93.3%,  an improvement of 150 basis points
over the third quarter's  occupancy and a 110-basis point  improvement  over the
same period one-year ago. In the former Jacobs malls, we increased occupancy 230
basis points over one year ago.



                                       3






     During 2002 we entered into approximately 3.9 million square feet of leases
compared  to 2.6  million  square  feet in 2001.  The 3.9  million  square  feet
includes 1.4 million square feet of new leases, approximately 1.2 million square
feet of renewals of existing tenants and  approximately  1.3 million square feet
in the development properties.


During the fourth quarter we received approximately $258,000 from lease buyouts
compared to $1.9 million the same quarter one year ago. We expect that spreads
on lease renewals will increase by 3% to 5% for 2003. Our 8-K filing includes a
schedule detailing the leasing spreads for new and renewal tenants.


     In 2003,  the Company has about 1.76  million  square feet rolling over and
has  completed  approximately  60% of this  leasing.  We believe that  occupancy
levels for 2003 will remain stable,  but we expect store closings to continue to
be a factor as a result of the current economic climate.

     During 2002, retailer  bankruptcies  resulted in the loss of 169,000 square
feet of space,  compared  to the loss of 393,000  square feet of space for 2001.
The revenues  lost from  bankruptcies  in 2002 were $3.8 million in gross annual
rents  compared  to a loss of $8.1  million in 2001.  As of January  31, we have
experienced 50,000 square feet of store closings so far this year,  primarily in
the music store sector.

     Specialty  leasing  revenues were a major  highlight in 2002 increasing 23%
over 2001 to $38 million.  Improvements from updating carts with more functional
designs and placing them in the newly  acquired and remodeled  malls resulted in
attracting more tenants.  Additionally,  we have improved  occupancy levels with
our carts throughout the year, rather than just for the holiday season.

     RETAIL SALES
    ------------
Total mall shop sales volume  increased 0.4% to
$3.02  billion for 2002  compared to $3.00  billion for the same period in 2001.
Based upon the criteria of including  only stores of 10,000 square feet and less
for mall stores,  same store sales for  calendar  year 2002  decreased  1.6% for
those tenants reporting.

     Occupancy  costs as a  percentage  of sales at our  malls  were 12% for the
twelve months ending December 31, 2002 compared to 11.3% for the same period one
year ago.  Occupancy  costs as a percentage  of sales have  increased due to the
slightly decreased sales reported by the retailers.

DISPOSITIONS/ACQUISITIONS
-------------------------

     During  2002 we  completed  the  disposition  of six  properties  for total
proceeds of $36.8 million.  The properties sold were Rhett at Remount,  LaGrange
Commons, One Park Place, Chesterfield Crossing, Girvin Plaza and Salem Crossing.
The  disposition  of these six centers  resulted in  short-term  dilution to FFO
while the funds are redeployed into the acquisition and development program.

     During the year we acquired the  remaining  third party  interests in three
malls and one  associated  center.  In December  2002 we acquired from a pension
fund,  Westmoreland Mall and its associated  center  Westmoreland  Crossing,  in
Greensburg,  PA,  located  one-hour  from  downtown  Pittsburgh.  This  mall was
acquired for its dominant  position and the potential to increase  occupancy and
specialty leasing income. We continue to look at acquisition opportunities where
we can  enhance  the  value of the  property  through  our  aggressive  hands-on
approach to leasing, specialty leasing and management.

     I will now turn the call over to John Foy to discuss our financial results.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
----------------
During 2002, we strengthened our balance sheet:

1.       We issued $271.2 million in equity including the previously mentioned
         $115 million follow-on offering of common stock, the $100 million
         preferred offering and issuance of 1.6 million operating partnership
         units to acquire assets and additional partnership interests.
2.       We deleveraged several properties through the early retirement of debt,
         which is consistent with our philosophy of maximizing leverage on
         certain assets while increasing our pool of unencumbered assets.
3.       We refinanced nine assets through a CMBS financing converting variable
         rate debt to non-recourse, long-term, fixed rate debt at a rate of
         6.51%.
4.       Although some of these financial transactions were dilutive, we were
         able to improve our EBITDA coverage ratio and reduce our debt to market
         capitalization.

     Improved  operating  performance  resulted in an FFO per share  increase of
10.2% over the prior year. Of this increase,  66% of our growth was attributable
to increases in occupancy,  specialty  leasing income and reductions in interest
expense.  The balance was a result of improved  performance  and the addition of
new  developments  such as  Parkway  Place,  Huntsville,  AL,  The  Lakes  Mall,
Muskegon,  MI, the acquisition of the remaining partnership interest in Columbia
Place,  Columbia,  SC,  East and West  Towne  Mall and West  Towne  Crossing  in
Madison,  WI and the acquisition of two malls, Panama City Mall, Panama City, FL
and Richland Mall, Waco, TX.

     Our $4.34 FFO  calculation  did not  include  outparcel  sales of $0.05 per
share.  Before  consideration  of outparcel sales, our dividend payout ratio for
the year was 53.5 % based on a fully diluted,  converted share count.  Including
outparcel sales, the payout ratio was 52.8%.

     Our cost recovery ratio was 91.7% for the twelve months compared to 93% for
the same period a year ago. We anticipate  that our cost recovery  ratio will be
in the range of 91% to 93% for the full year 2003.

     Please note that we have reclassified certain financial  information in the
prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
A portion of our taxable REIT subsidiary's  results of operation in the past was
reported on a net basis in prior periods' financial information. However, due to
the growth of those  operations,  we have presented its results on a gross basis
with revenues  included in interest and other revenues and the related  expenses
in the other expenses category. This change in presentation had no impact on net
income or FFO.

     Our G&A  increased by 42% for the quarter.  This was a result of additional
state tax reserves and  professional  fees.  These fees  included  legal fees in
conjunction with the Sarbanes Oxley Act and reaudit fees.

     We have applied the  provisions  of FASB  Statement No. 141 to our property
acquisitions  and as a result,  we recorded a net liability of $1.3 million.  As
our largest acquisition for the year occurred on December 30, 2002 the impact on
our 2002 results of operations were immaterial.

     As we stated in our news  release,  same-center  NOI  growth was a positive
3.1% for the total portfolio,  driven by increased  specialty leasing income and
higher occupancy levels at the malls,  especially the former Jacobs  properties.
The breakdown for 2002 NOI by property type is as follows:

1.          The same-center mall NOI increased 2.7%
2.          Associated centers experienced a 17.3% increase, primarily
            as a result of retenanting spaces previously occupied from
            bankrupt tenants at The Terrace and Hamilton Corner, both
            located in Chattanooga, TN. We also saw improved leasing
            activity at The Landing, Atlanta, GA and Westgate
            Crossing, Spartanburg, SC.
3.          Same-center community center NOI decreased ten basis
            points for the year. Large vacancies at Kingston Overlook
            in Knoxville, TN and Sattler Square in Big Rapids, MI
            contributed significantly to this. At both Sattler Square
            and Kingston Overlook, leases have been executed for the
            vacant anchor spaces with tenants expected to open during
            the first half of 2003.

                                       5


CAPITAL  EXPENDITURES
--------------------
  During  2002  we  spent  $31.6
million on tenant  allowances,  $ 1.6 million on deferred  leasing costs,  $19.3
million on revenue  neutral  capital  expenditures  and $57.4 million on revenue
enhancing  capital  expenditures.  The  revenue  neutral  expenditures  for 2002
included:  $ 10.2 million spent on resurfacing and improved  lighting of parking
lots,  $8.1  million for roof  repairs and  replacements,  and a portion of this
amount was included in the renovation costs.

     Revenue  neutral capital  expenditures  are billed to the tenants as common
area  maintenance  expense  and the vast  majority is  recovered  over a five to
fifteen year period.  Revenue enhancing capital  expenditures are for remodeling
and  upgrades  of our  malls of which  approximately  30% are  recoverable  from
tenants.

     In 2003, for the total portfolio, we are projecting to spend $30 million on
tenant  allowances,  $25  million in revenue  neutral and $60 million on revenue
enhancing capital expenditures.

     CONCLUSION  ---------- Based on our year-end and fourth quarter results and
barring any further  disruptions from unforeseen events, we are comfortable with
an FFO estimate range of $4.57 to $4.60 for 2003.  Our growth  estimate for 2003
is based upon our expectations for 3-4% NOI growth,  stable occupancy across the
portfolio and $88.1 million of new developments completed during the year.

     Before we open the call for Q&A I would like to share our  thoughts  on the
following:

|X|      Despite retail sales having been flat to slightly down, retail margins
         continue to show improvement. Also, retailers have confirmed their
         plans for 2003 and 2004 to continue to expand and create new concepts
         for our malls.
|X|      As we have said over the years, retailers are continually evolving and
         recreating themselves. They are improving their product lines and mix
         just as we work to improve our properties. Prime examples of this are
         JC Penney and several of the major movie theater operators, who have
         successfully demonstrated the ability to turnaround their business in
         2002.
|X|      We continue to see solid results at our malls, and believe that their
         updated look is a big part of their success with both the retailers and
         customers. We invite you to visit our newly renovated properties, such
         as Hickory Hollow and Columbia Place, where you can see how the
         recently completed renovations have led to improved leasing activity.

We appreciate the confidence and support. Thank you again for joining us today
and we welcome the opportunity to show you any of our newly renovated
properties. Stephen and I will now answer your questions.

     The capital expenditures that we incur for maintenance such as parking lots
repairs, parking lot lighting and roofs are classified as revenue neutral. These
expenditures  are billed to the tenants as common area  maintenance  expense and
the vast  majority is  recovered  over a five to fifteen  year  period.  Revenue
enhancing  capital  expenditures  are for remodelings and upgrades for enhancing
our  competitive  position in the market area.  A portion of these  expenditures
covering items such as new floor coverings,  painting,  lighting and new seating
areas are also recovered through tenant billings.  The costs of other items such
as new entrances,  new ceilings and skylights are not recovered from tenants. We
estimate that 30% of our revenue enhancing expenditures are recoverable from our
tenants over a ten to fifteen year period of time. The third category of capital
expenditures is tenant allowances,  sometimes made to third-generation  tenants.
Tenant  allowances are recovered in minimum rents from the tenants over the life
of the lease.
