See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 7 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Organization and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regency Centers Corporation, its wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries, and partnerships in which it has voting control (the "Company" or "Regency"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company owns approximately 98% of the outstanding common units ("Units") of Regency Centers, L.P. ("RCLP"). Regency invests in real estate through its partnership interest in RCLP. Generally all of the acquisition, development, operations and financing activity of Regency, including the issuance of Units or preferred units, are executed by RCLP. The equity interests of third parties held in RCLP and the majority owned or controlled partnerships are included in the consolidated financial statements as preferred or exchangeable operating partnership units and limited partners' interest in consolidated partnerships. The Company is a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT"), which began operations in 1993. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, and in the opinion of management, are necessary to properly state the results of operations and financial position. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2002 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (b) Revenues The Company leases space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. Leases are accounted for as operating leases with minimum rent recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due. Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. Minimum rent has been adjusted to reflect the effects of recognizing rent on a straight-line basis. Substantially all of the lease agreements contain provisions that provide additional rents based on tenants' sales volume (contingent or percentage rent) and reimbursement of the tenants' share of real estate taxes and certain common area maintenance ("CAM") costs. Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements and recovery of real estate taxes and CAM costs are recognized when earned. Service operations revenue includes management fees, commission income, and gains or losses from the sale of land and development properties without significant operations. Service operations revenue does not include gains or losses from the sale of operating properties. The Company accounts for profit recognition on sales of real estate in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 66, 8 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 (b) Revenues (continued) "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." In summary, profits from sales will not be recognized by the Company unless a sale has been consummated; the buyer's initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership; and the Company does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property. (c) Real Estate Investments Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. All direct and indirect costs related to development activities are capitalized. Included in these costs are interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction as well as estimates for the portion of internal costs that are incremental, and deemed directly or indirectly related to development activity. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are reflected in operating and maintenance expense. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to forty years for buildings and improvements, term of lease for tenant improvements, and three to seven years for furniture and equipment. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("Statement 144"). In accordance with Statement 144, operating properties held for sale includes only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year. Operating properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period held for sale. The Company reviews its real estate portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Regency determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property's carrying value to an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows. In the event impairment exists, assets are written down to fair value for held and used assets and fair value less costs to sell for held for sale assets. During the second quarter, the Company recorded a provision for loss of $2 million related to adjusting three operating properties down to estimated fair value. The fair values of the operating properties were determined by using prices for similar assets in their respective markets. The Company's properties generally have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. In accordance with Statement 144, the operations and gains on sales reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties and properties in development for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties have been eliminated from ongoing operations and the Company will not have continuing involvement after disposition. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations. The operations and gains on sales of operating properties sold to real estate partnerships in which the Company has some continuing involvement are reported as income from continuing operations. 9 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 (d) Deferred Costs Deferred costs include deferred leasing costs, leasing intangibles acquired in business combinations and deferred loan costs, net of amortization. Such costs are amortized over the periods through lease expiration or loan maturity. Deferred leasing costs consist of internal and external commissions associated with leasing the Company's shopping centers. Leasing intangibles represent costs associated with the allocation of purchase price value to in-place leases of acquired properties. Net deferred leasing costs and leasing intangibles were $27.3 million and $26.5 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Deferred loan costs consist of initial direct and incremental costs associated with financing activities. Net deferred loan costs were $9.1 million and $10.9 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. (e) Earnings per Share and Treasury stock Basic net income per share of common stock is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share also includes common share equivalents for stock options, exchangeable operating partnership units, and preferred stock when dilutive. See note 6 for the calculation of earnings per share. Repurchases of the Company's common stock (net of shares retired) are recorded at cost and are reflected as Treasury stock in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity. Outstanding shares do not include treasury shares. (f) Stock-Based Compensation In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("Statement 148"). Statement 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, Statement 148 amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123"), to require more prominent and frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of Statement 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and the interim disclosure provisions are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2002. As permitted under Statement 123 and Statement 148, the Company will continue to follow the accounting guidelines pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("Opinion 25"), for stock-based compensation and to furnish the pro forma disclosures as required under Statement 148. The Company applies Opinion 25 in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the consolidated financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock-based employee awards under Statement 123, the Company's net income for common stockholders for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated on the following page (in thousands except per share data): 10 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 (f) Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

(g) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("Interpretation 46"), which is intended to clarify the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or variable interest entities, as defined in 11 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 (g) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (continued) the interpretation. Interpretation 46 requires that certain variable interest entities be consolidated into the majority variable interest holder's financial statements and is applicable immediately to all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and as of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to those variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003. The Company did not create any variable interest entities after January 31, 2003. The Company has completed its evaluation of the applicability of this interpretation to its structures created before February 1, 2003 and its adoption will not have a material effect on the financial statements. (h) Segment reporting The Company's business is investing in retail shopping centers through direct ownership or through joint ventures. The Company actively manages its portfolio of retail shopping centers and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties, or developments not meeting its long-term investment objectives. The proceeds of sales are invested into higher quality retail shopping centers through acquisitions or new developments, which management believes will meet its planned rate of return. It is management's intent that all retail shopping centers will be owned or developed for investment purposes. The Company's revenue and net income is generated from the operation of its investment portfolio. The Company will also earn incidental fees from third parties for services provided to manage and lease retail shopping centers owned through joint ventures. The Company's portfolio is located throughout the United States; however, management does not distinguish or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. The Company reviews operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis, therefore, the Company defines its operating segment as its individual properties. No individual property constitutes more than 10% of the Company's combined revenue, net income or assets, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature of the centers, tenants and operational processes, as well as, long-term average financial performance. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of revenue and none of the shopping centers are located outside the United States. (i) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 amounts to conform to classifications adopted in 2003. 2. Discontinued Operations During 2003, the Company sold 100% of its interest in five operating properties for proceeds of $39.1 million and the combined net income and gain on these sales of $4.4 million is included in discontinued operations. The revenues from properties included in discontinued operations, including properties sold in 2003 and 2002, as well as, operating properties held for sale, were $1.8 million and $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The operating income from these properties was $370,428 and $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operating income and gains on sales included in 12 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 2. Discontinued Operations (continued) discontinued operations are shown net of minority interest of exchangeable operating partnership units totaling $107,683 and $385,173 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The revenues for the two properties categorized as held for sale were $736,091 and $976,077 as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The operating (loss) income for the properties held for sale was ($13,292) and $487,559 as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. It is anticipated that these properties will be sold in the third quarter of 2003. 3. Investments in Real Estate and Real Estate Partnerships During 2003, the Company acquired two grocery-anchored shopping centers for $35 million. The 2003 acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Acquisitions (either individually or in the aggregate) were not significant to the operations of the Company in the periods in which they were acquired or the period preceding the acquisition. The Company accounts for all investments in which it owns 50% or less and does not have a controlling financial interest using the equity method. The Company's combined investment in these partnerships was $131.6 million and $125.5 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Net income, which includes all operating results, as well as gains and losses on sales of properties within the joint ventures, is allocated to the Company in accordance with the respective partnership agreements. Such allocations of net income are recorded in equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company has a 25% equity interest in Macquarie CountryWide-Regency, LLC ("MCWR"), a joint venture with an affiliate of Macquarie CountryWide Trust of Australia, a Sydney, Australia-based property trust focused on investing in grocery-anchored shopping centers. As of June 30, 2003, MCWR acquired five shopping centers from the Company for $55.3 million, for which the Company received net proceeds of $37.1 million. Since the Company has a continuing involvement in these properties, the development gains recognized by the Company on these sales represents gain recognition on only that portion of the sale to MCWR not owned by the Company and are not included in discontinued operations. The gains on these sales of $5.9 million are recorded in service operations revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company also has a 20% equity interest in Columbia Regency Retail Partners, LLC ("Columbia"), a joint venture with the Oregon State Treasury that was formed for the purpose of investing in retail shopping centers. During the second quarter, Columbia purchased a shopping center for $20 million. With the exception of Columbia and MCWR, both of which intend to continue expanding their investment in shopping centers, the investments in real estate partnerships represent single asset entities formed for the purpose of developing or owning retail based commercial real estate. 13 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 3.

14 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 4. Notes Payable and Unsecured Line of Credit The Company's outstanding debt at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 consists of the following (in thousands):
2003 2002 ---- ---- Notes Payable: Fixed rate mortgage loans $ 234,373 229,551 Variable rate mortgage loans 24,389 24,998 Fixed rate unsecured loans 999,061 998,975 --------------- --------------- Total notes payable 1,257,823 1,253,524 Unsecured line of credit 228,000 80,000 --------------- --------------- Total $ 1,485,823 1,333,524 =============== ===============
Interest rates paid on the unsecured line of credit (the "Line"), which are based on LIBOR plus .85%, were 1.9125% and 2.2880% at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The spread that the Company pays on the Line is dependent upon maintaining specific investment grade ratings. The Company is required to comply, and is in compliance with, certain financial and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. The Line is used primarily to finance the acquisition and development of real estate, but is also available for general working capital purposes. Mortgage loans are secured by certain real estate properties, and may be prepaid, but could be subject to a yield-maintenance premium. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2019. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 130 to 150 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 6.64% to 9.5%. During the second quarter, the Company assumed debt with a fair value of $13.3 million related to the acquisition of a property, which includes a debt premium of $797,303 based upon the above market interest rate of the debt instrument. The debt premium is being amortized over the terms of the related debt instrument. As of June 30, 2003, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Line were as follows (in thousands):

15 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 5. Stockholders' Equity and Minority Interest (a) The Company, through RCLP, has issued Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Preferred Units") in various amounts since 1998. The issues were sold primarily to institutional investors in private placements for $100 per unit. The Preferred Units, which may be called by RCLP at par after certain dates, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption, and pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at fixed rates. At any time after ten years from the date of issuance, the Preferred Units may be exchanged by the holder for Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at an exchange rate of one share for one unit. The Preferred Units and the related Preferred Stock are not convertible into common stock of the Company. The net proceeds of these offerings were used to reduce the Line. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 the face value of total Preferred Units issued was $309 million and $384 million, respectively with an average fixed distribution rate of 8.68% and 8.72%, respectively. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company redeemed $35 million of Series C 9% Preferred Units and $40 million of Series E 8.75% Preferred Units. The redemptions were portions of each series and the Company paid a 1% premium on the face value of the redeemed units totaling $750,000. The redemption was funded from proceeds from our Line. Terms and conditions of the Preferred Units outstanding as of June 30, 2003 are summarized as follows:
Units Issue Amount Distribution Callable Exchangeable Series Outstanding Price Outstanding Rate by Company by Unitholder - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Series A 1,600,000 $ 50.00 $ 80,000,000 8.125% 06/25/03 06/25/08 Series B 850,000 100.00 85,000,000 8.750% 09/03/04 09/03/09 Series C 400,000 100.00 40,000,000 9.000% 09/03/04 09/03/09 Series D 500,000 100.00 50,000,000 9.125% 09/29/04 09/29/09 Series E 300,000 100.00 30,000,000 8.750% 05/25/05 05/25/10 Series F 240,000 100.00 24,000,000 8.750% 09/08/05 09/08/10 --------------- ----------------- 3,890,000 $ 309,000,000 =============== =================
(b) Until June 24, 2003, Security Capital beneficially owned 34,273,236 shares, representing 56.6% of the voting stock outstanding of Regency. On June 24, 3002, Security Capital sold common stock through (1) an underwritten public offering (the "Secondary Offering"), and (2) the sale of shares to Regency pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 11, 2003 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"), and also agreed to sell the balance of the shares pursuant to forward sales contracts. Security Capital sold 9,666,356 shares of common stock in the Secondary Offering. On June 24, 2003, it also sold 4,606,880 shares of common stock to Regency at the public offering price of $32.56 per share pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The purchase price of $150 million was funded from the Company's Line. Currently, Security Capital owns 20,000,000 shares of common stock (constituting approximately 35.8% of Regency's outstanding common stock) all of which are subject to forward sales contracts. Upon settlement of all of the forward sales contracts, which provide for settlement at various times during the first half of 2004, or earlier at the election of Security Capital, Security Capital will 16 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 5. Stockholders' Equity and Minority Interest (continued) (b) no longer own any shares of Regency common stock, unless Security Capital elects to settle one or more of the forward contracts in cash rather than by delivery of shares of common stock. Concurrently with the closing of the Secondary Offering and the sale of common stock to Regency, Security Capital and Regency terminated the Stockholders Agreement dated as of July 10, 1996, as amended. This termination was pursuant to an Agreement Relating to Disposition of Shares dated as of June 11, 2003 (the "Disposition Agreement"). Under the Disposition Agreement, Security Capital also agreed that, following the closing of the Secondary Offering, it will vote any shares of common stock that are subject to forward contracts and over which it has voting power in the same proportion as shares are voted by other shareholders of Regency. In addition, Security Capital agreed that, if it settles forward contracts in cash rather than shares, within 100 trading days thereafter, it will sell a sufficient number of shares so that it will no longer beneficially own shares with a value in excess of 7% of the total value of Regency's capital stock. Security Capital also agreed in the Disposition Agreement to waive the special ownership limit created for it in Regency's articles of incorporation. Once Security Capital reduces its ownership to 7% or less after the forward contracts settle in 2004, it will be subject to the same 7% ownership limit in Regency's articles of incorporation that applies to other shareholders. (c) During the first quarter of 2003, the holder of the Series 2 preferred stock converted all of its remaining 450,400 preferred shares into common stock at a conversion ratio of 1:1. (d) On April 3, 2003, the Company received proceeds from a $75 million offering of 3,000,000 depositary shares representing 300,000 shares of Series 3 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The depositary shares are not convertible into common stock of the Company and are redeemable at par upon Regency's election on or after April 3, 2008, pay a 7.45% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $25 per depositary share. The proceeds from this offering were used to reduce the Line. 17 Regency Centers Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2003 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to historical information, the following information contains forward-looking statements under the federal securities laws. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Regency operates, and management's beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions; financial difficulties of tenants; competitive market conditions, including pricing of acquisitions and sales of properties and out-parcels; changes in expected leasing activity and market rents; timing of acquisitions, development starts and sales of properties and out-parcels; weather; the ability to obtain governmental approvals; and meeting development schedules. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Centers Corporation ("Regency" or "Company") appearing elsewhere within. Organization - ------------ Regency is a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT"), which began operations in 1993. We invest in retail shopping centers through our partnership interest in Regency Centers, L.P. ("RCLP"), an operating partnership in which Regency currently owns approximately 98% of the outstanding common partnership units ("Common Units"). Regency's acquisition, development, operations and financing activities, including the issuance of Common Units or Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Preferred Units"), are generally executed by RCLP. Shopping Center Business - ------------------------ We are a national owner, operator and developer of grocery-anchored neighborhood retail shopping centers. A list of our shopping centers including those partially owned through joint ventures, summarized by state and in order of largest holdings, including their gross leasable areas ("GLA") follows:

* Excludes pre-stabilized properties under development 20 We are focused on building a portfolio of grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers that are positioned to withstand adverse economic conditions by providing consumers with convenient shopping for daily necessities and adjacent local tenants with foot traffic. Regency's current investment markets are stable, and we expect to realize growth in net income as a result of increasing occupancy in the portfolio, increasing rental rates, development and acquisition of shopping centers in targeted markets, and redevelopment of existing shopping centers. The following table summarizes the four largest grocery-tenants occupying our shopping centers, including those partially owned through joint ventures at June 30, 2003:
Percentage of Percentage of Grocery Number of Company- Annualized Average Remaining Anchor Stores (a) owned GLA Base Rent Lease Term ------- ---------- ------------- -------------- ----------------- Kroger 61 12.0% 8.7% 15 yrs Publix 52 7.1% 4.9% 13 yrs Safeway 46 6.0% 4.6% 11 yrs Albertsons 25 3.2% 2.6% 15 yrs
(a) Includes grocery-tenant-owned stores Acquisition and Development of Shopping Centers - ----------------------------------------------- We have implemented a growth strategy dedicated to developing and acquiring high-quality shopping centers. Our development program makes a significant contribution to our overall growth. Development is customer-driven, meaning we generally have an executed lease from the grocery-anchor before we begin construction. Developments serve the growth needs of our grocery and specialty retail customers, result in modern shopping centers with long-term leases from grocery and other anchors, and produce either attractive returns on invested capital or profits from sale. This development process can require up to 36 months from initial land or redevelopment acquisition through construction, lease-up and stabilization, depending upon the size and type of project. Generally, anchor tenants begin operating their stores prior to construction completion of the entire center, resulting in rental income during the development phase. At June 30, 2003, we had 32 projects under construction or undergoing major renovations, which, when completed, are expected to represent an investment of $561.1 million before the estimated reimbursement of certain tenant-related costs and projected sales proceeds from adjacent land and out-parcels of $120.2 million. Costs necessary to complete these developments will be $241.7 million, are generally already committed as part of existing construction contracts, and will be expended through 2005. These developments are approximately 57% complete and 72% pre-leased. Regency has a 20% equity interest in and serves as property manager for Columbia Regency Retail Partners, LLC ("Columbia"), a joint venture with the Oregon State Treasury that was formed for the purpose of investing in retail shopping centers. At June 30, 2003, Columbia owned 13 shopping centers with a net book value of $304.6 million. Regency has a 25% equity interest in and serves as property manager for Macquarie CountryWide-Regency, LLC ("MCWR"), a joint venture with an affiliate of Macquarie CountryWide Trust of Australia, a Sydney, Australia-based property trust focused on investing in grocery-anchored shopping centers. At June 30, 2003, MCWR owned 20 shopping centers with a net book value of $225.2 million. Columbia and MCWR intend to continue to acquire retail shopping centers, some of which they may acquire directly from Regency. For those properties acquired from third parties, Regency is required to provide its pro rata share of the purchase price. 21 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- We expect that the cash generated from revenues will provide the necessary funds on a short-term basis to pay our operating expenses, interest expense, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital expenditures necessary to maintain our shopping centers properly, and distributions to stock and unit holders. Net cash provided by operating activities was $97.1 million and $89.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively, we incurred capital expenditures of $6.5 million and $8.1 million to improve our shopping center portfolio, paid scheduled principal payments of $2.9 million and $2.6 million to our lenders, and paid dividends and distributions of $80.5 million and $79.0 million to our share and unit holders. Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy have the right to cancel their leases and close the related stores. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and cancels its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. We are not currently aware of any current or pending bankruptcy of any of our tenants that would cause a significant reduction in our revenues, and no tenant represents more than 10% of our annual base-rental revenues. We expect to meet long-term capital requirements for maturing debt, the acquisition of real estate, and the renovation or development of shopping centers from: (i) cash generated from operating activities after the payments described above, (ii) proceeds from the sale of real estate, (iii) joint venturing of real estate, (iv) increases in debt, and (v) equity raised in the private or public markets. Additionally, the Company has the right to call and repay at par outstanding preferred units five years after their issuance date, at the Company's discretion. The sources of repaying preferred units would include those listed above. We have $200 million of 7.4% unsecured debt maturing April 1, 2004. Our risk management objective and strategy is to mitigate the risk of changes in our interest-related cash outflows on a forecasted 10 year issuance of long-term debt which will partially replace the amount maturing on April 1, 2004. We have met this objective by entering into a $96.5 million interest rate swap that began on July 17, 2003 and matures on April 1, 2004. The swap fixed rate is 4.745% and we are the fixed rate payor. We have designated this swap transaction as a cash flow hedge of interest payments on the forecasted 10 year issuance and it will be subject to SFAS No. 133/138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The gain or loss that we realize on the swap at maturity will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the newly issued 10 year debt. On June 24, 2003, we purchased 4,606,880 shares of stock for $150 million from Security Capital pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 11, 2003. The purchase was funded from the Line and the shares are held as Treasury shares.. On April 3, 2003, we received proceeds from a $75 million offering of 3,000,000 depositary shares representing Series 3 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The shares are redeemable at par at Regency's election on or after April 3, 2008, pay a 7.45% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $25 per depositary share. The proceeds from this offering were used to reduce the Line. During the first quarter, we redeemed $35 million of Series C 9% Preferred Units and $40 million of Series E 8.75% Preferred Units in a negotiated transaction. The redemptions were portions of each series and we paid a 1% premium on the face value of the redeemed units totaling $750,000 which is recorded as minority interest preferred units. At the time of redemption, $1.9 million of previously deferred costs related to the original preferred units' issuance were recognized in minority interest preferred units. The redemption was funded from proceeds from the Line. Our commitment to maintaining a high-quality portfolio dictates that we continually assess the value of all of our properties and sell to third parties those operating properties that no longer meet our long-term investment standards. We may also sell a portion of an operating or development property to one of our joint ventures, which may provide Regency with a capital source for new development and acquisitions. By selling a property to a joint venture, Regency owns less than 100% of the property, generally 20% to 50%, and shares the risks and rewards of the property with its partner. 22 Proceeds from the sale or joint venturing of properties are included in net investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During 2003 net proceeds from the sale or joint venturing of real estate was $97.8 million, compared to $152.6 million during the first six months of 2002. Net cash used in investing activities was $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net cash provided by investing activities was $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Net cash used in financing activities was $91.6 million and $73.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Outstanding debt at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 consists of the following (in thousands):
2003 2002 ---- ---- Notes Payable: Fixed-rate mortgage loans $ 234,373 229,551 Variable-rate mortgage loans 24,389 24,998 Fixed-rate unsecured loans 999,061 998,975 -------------- --------------- Total notes payable 1,257,823 1,253,524 Unsecured line of credit 228,000 80,000 -------------- --------------- Total $ 1,485,823 1,333,524 ============== ===============
Mortgage loans are secured by certain real estate properties, and may be prepaid, but could be subject to a yield-maintenance premium. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal, and mature over various terms through 2019. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 130 to 150 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 6.64% to 9.5%. Interest rates paid on the Line, which are based on LIBOR plus .85%, at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were 1.9125% and 2.2880%, respectively. The spread that we pay on the Line is dependent upon maintaining specific investment-grade ratings. We are also required to comply, and are in compliance, with certain financial and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. The Line is used primarily to finance the acquisition and development of real estate, but is also available for general working-capital purposes. As of June 30, 2003, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Line were as follows (in thousands):
Scheduled Principal Term-Loan Total Scheduled Payments by Year Payments Maturities Payments -------------------------- -------------- --------------- --------------- 2003 $ 2,862 20,802 23,664 2004 (includes the Line) 5,253 450,558 455,811 2005 4,060 147,630 151,690 2006 3,377 24,043 27,420 2007 2,787 25,647 28,434 Beyond Five years 19,707 772,858 792,565 Unamortized debt premiums - 6,239 6,239 -------------- --------------- --------------- Total $ 38,046 1,447,777 1,485,823 ============== =============== ===============
Unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which we have an investment had notes and mortgage loans payable of $204.5 million at June 30, 2003 and the Company's proportionate share of these loans was $49.5 million. RCLP has issued Preferred Units in various amounts since 1998, the net proceeds of which we used to reduce the balance of the Line. RCLP sold the issues primarily to institutional investors in private placements. The Preferred Units, which may be called by RCLP after certain dates ranging from 2003 to 2005, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption, and they pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at 23 fixed rates ranging from 8.125% to 9.125%. At any time after 10 years from the date of issuance, the Preferred Units may be exchanged by the holders for Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at an exchange rate of one share for one unit. The Preferred Units and the related Preferred Stock are not convertible into Regency common stock. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 the face value of total Preferred Units issued was $309 million and $384 million, respectively with an average fixed distribution rate of 8.68% and 8.72%, respectively. We intend to continue growing our portfolio through acquisitions and developments, either directly or through our joint venture relationships. Because acquisition and development activities are discretionary in nature, they are not expected to burden the capital resources we have currently available for liquidity requirements. Regency expects that cash provided by operating activities, unused amounts available under the Line, and cash reserves are adequate to meet liquidity requirements. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - ------------------------------------------ Knowledge about our accounting policies is necessary for a complete understanding of our financial results, and discussions and analysis of these results. The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make certain estimates that impact the balance of assets and liabilities at a financial statement date and the reported amount of income and expenses during a financial reporting period. These accounting estimates are based upon our judgments and are considered to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from those judgments, or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. However, the amounts we may ultimately realize could differ from such estimates. Capitalization of Costs - We have an investment services group with an established infrastructure that supports the due diligence, land acquisition, construction, leasing and accounting of our development properties. All direct and indirect costs related to these activities are capitalized. Included in these costs are interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction as well as estimates for the portion of internal costs that are incremental, and deemed directly or indirectly related to our development activity. If future accounting standards limit the amount of internal costs that may be capitalized, or if our development activity were to decline significantly without a proportionate decrease in internal costs, we could incur a significant increase in our operating expenses. Valuation of Real Estate Investments - Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate such an evaluation is warranted. The review involves a number of assumptions and estimates used in determining whether impairment exists. Depending on the asset, we use varying methods such as i) estimating future cash flows, ii) determining resale values by market, or iii) applying a capitalization rate to net operating income using prevailing rates in a given market. These methods of determining fair value can fluctuate up or down significantly as a result of a number of factors including changes in the general economy of those markets in which we operate, tenant credit quality, and demand for new retail stores. If we determine that impairment exists due to the inability to recover an asset's carrying value, a provision for loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Discontinued Operations - The application of current accounting principles that govern the classification of any of our properties as held for sale on the balance sheet, or the presentation of results of operations and gains on the sale of these properties as discontinued, requires management to make certain significant judgments. In evaluating whether a property meets the criteria set forth in FASB Statement No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (Statement 144), the Company makes a determination as to the point in time that it can be reasonably certain that a sale will be consummated. Given the nature of all real estate sales contracts, not only those entered into by the Company, it is not unusual for such contracts to allow potential buyers a period of time to evaluate the property prior to formal acceptance of the contract. In addition, certain other matters critical to the final sale, such as financing arrangements, often remain pending even upon contract acceptance. As a result, 24 properties under contract may not close within the expected time period, if at all. Due to these uncertainties, it is not likely that the Company can meet the criteria of Statement 144 prior to the sale formally closing. Therefore, any properties categorized as held for sale represent only those properties that management has determined are probable to close within the requirements set forth in Statement 144. The Company also makes judgments regarding the extent of involvement it will have with a property subsequent to its sale, in order to determine if the results of operations and gain/loss on sale should be reflected as discontinued. Consistent with Statement 144, any property sold to an entity in which the Company has significant continuing involvement (most often joint ventures) are not considered to be discontinued. In addition, any property which the Company sells to an unrelated third party, but retains a property or asset management function, are also not considered discontinued. Thus, only properties sold, or to be sold, to unrelated third parties for which the Company, in its judgment, has no continuing involvement are classified as discontinued. Income Tax Status - The prevailing assumption underlying the operation of our business is that we will continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT, defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Certain income and asset tests are required to be met on a periodic basis to ensure we continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions to stockholders. As we evaluate each transaction entered into, we determine the impact that these transactions will have on our REIT status. Determining our taxable income, calculating distributions, and evaluating transactions requires us to make certain judgments and estimates as to the positions we take in our interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code. Because many types of transactions are susceptible to varying interpretations under federal and state income tax laws and regulations, our positions are subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the taxing authorities. Results from Operations - ----------------------- Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2002 At June 30, 2003, we were operating or developing 262 shopping centers. We identify our shopping centers as either development properties or stabilized properties. Development properties are defined as properties that are in the construction and initial lease-up process and are not yet fully leased (fully leased generally means greater than 90% leased) or occupied. Stabilized properties are those properties that are generally greater than 90% leased and, if they were developed, are more than three years beyond their original development start date. At June 30, 2003, we had 230 stabilized shopping centers that were 95.3% leased. Revenues increased $22.6 million, or 13%, to $197.9 million in 2003. This increase was due primarily to our realization of a full year of revenues from new 2002 developments and from growth in rental rates of the operating properties. In 2003, rental rates grew by 9.3% from renewal leases and new leases replacing previously occupied spaces in the stabilized properties. Minimum rent increased $9.3 million, or 7%, and recoveries from tenants increased $2.9 million, or 8%. Service operations revenue includes management fees, commission income, and gains or losses from the sale of land and development properties without significant operations. Service operations revenue does not include gains or losses from the sale of non-development operating properties. The Company accounts for profit recognition on sales of real estate in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." Profits from sales of real estate will not be recognized by the Company unless a sale has been consummated; the buyer's initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership; and the Company does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property. Service operations revenue increased $9.1 million to $13.2 million in 2003, or 220%. The increase was primarily due to a $5.8 million increase in development sales during 2003, a $1.7 million increase in gains from the sale of land and outparcels and a $1.6 million increase in management fees primarily related to the Columbia and MCWR joint ventures. 25 Operating expenses increased $10.4 million, or 12%, to $95.2 million in 2003. Combined operating, maintenance, and real estate taxes increased $4.2 million, or 10%, during 2003 to $46.6 million. The increase was primarily due to new developments that incurred expenses for only a portion of the previous year, and general increases in operating expenses on the stabilized properties. General and administrative expenses were $10.3 million during 2003 compared with $9.2 million in 2002, or 12% higher, as a result of general salary and benefit increases. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.7 million during 2003 related to higher acquisition and development activity. We review our real estate portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of an asset. Regency determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property's carrying value to an estimate of fair value based upon methods described in our Critical Accounting Policies. In the event the properties are impaired, we write down assets to fair value for "held-and-used" assets and fair value less costs to sell for "held-for-sale" assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we recorded a provision for loss of $2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Net interest expense increased to $41.6 million in 2003 from $41.0 million in 2002, or 1%. Weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt declined to 6.58% at June 30, 2003 from 7.09% at June 30, 2002. Income from discontinued operations was $4.4 million in 2003 primarily due to the sale of five properties to unrelated parties with a combined gain on sale of $4.3 million. The restated 2002 income from discontinued operations is $15.1 million compared to $8.6 million originally reported in 2002 due to the reclassification of $6.6 million of operating income for properties sold subsequent to June 30, 2002 in compliance with the adoption of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("Statement 144") in January 2002. Operating income and gains on sales from discontinued operations are shown net of minority interest of exchangeable partnership units totaling $107,683 and $385,173 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net income for common stockholders was $43.6 million in 2003 compared with $46.7 million in 2002, or a 7% decrease primarily due to reasons previously discussed and a reduction of gain on sale of operating properties of $1.5 million and $2.4 million recorded in other income in 2002 resulting from the early extinguishment of debt. Diluted earnings per share were $0.72 in 2003 compared with $.80 in 2002, or 10% lower. Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2002 Revenues increased $12.3 million, or 14%, to $101.5 million in 2003. Minimum rent increased $4.3 million, or 7%, and recoveries from tenants increased $849,000, or 5%. This increase was due to revenues from 2002 developments and 2002 acquisitions not operating at June 30, 2002 along with rental rate growth on the existing portfolio. Service operations revenue increased $6.9 million to $9.3 million in 2003, or 285%. The increase was primarily due to a $6.7 million dollar increase in development sales during 2003, and an $847,000 increase in management fees primarily related to the Columbia and MCWR joint ventures, offset by a $628,000 decrease resulting from selling fewer outparcels during 2003 than in 2002. Operating expenses increased $4.9 million, or 11%, to $48.8 million in 2003. Combined operating, maintenance, and real estate taxes increased $1.6 million, or 7%, during 2003 to $23.3 million. This increase is due to new developments and acquisitions which were not operating at June 30, 2002. General and administrative expenses were $6.2 million during 2003 compared with $5.2 million in 2002, or 18% higher, as a result of general salary and benefit increases. Depreciation and amortization increased $2.1 million during 2003 related to higher acquisition and development activity. During the second quarter of 2003 and 2002, we recorded a provision for loss of $2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. 26 Net interest expense decreased to $20.9 in 2003 from $21.2 million in 2002, or 1%. Weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt declined to 6.58% at June 30, 2003 from 7.09% at June 30, 2002. Income from discontinued operations was $4.6 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to the gain recorded on the sale of two properties. The restated income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 is $7.7 million compared to $3.8 million originally reported in 2002 due to the reclassification of $4 million of operating income for properties sold subsequent to June 30, 2002 in compliance with the adoption of Statement 144. Operating (loss) income and gain on sales from discontinued operations are shown net of minority interest of exchangeable partnership units totaling $112,275 and $195,942 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net income for common stockholders was $25.6 million in 2003 compared with $22.2 million in 2002, or a 15% increase. Diluted earnings per share were $0.42 in 2003 compared with $.38 in 2002, or 11% higher. Environmental Matters - --------------------- Regency, like others in the commercial real estate industry, is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning plants at our shopping centers is the principal environmental concern. We believe that the tenants who operate these plants do so in accordance with current laws and regulations and have established procedures to monitor their operations. Additionally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state-sponsored environmental programs. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy that covers Regency against third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also placed environmental insurance on specific properties with known contamination in order to mitigate Regency's environmental risk. We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on Regency's financial position, liquidity, or operations. Inflation - --------- Inflation has remained relatively low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, substantially all of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise; and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. 27 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Market Risk ----------- Regency is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of the line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand Regency's real estate investment portfolio. Regency's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, Regency borrows primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. Regency has no plans to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Regency's interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal cash flows (in thousands), weighted average interest rates of remaining debt, and the fair value of total debt (in thousands), by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2003, it does not consider those exposures or positions, which could arise after that date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the table above, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. As a result, Regency's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, its hedging strategies at that time, and interest rates. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There has been no significant change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during the last quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to material affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 28 Part II Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders The annual meeting for Regency Centers Corporation was held on May 6, 2003. The matters to be acted on was the election of one Class III director and four Class I directors to serve terms expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The other matter was to consider and approve the proposed amendment and restatement of Regency's 1993 Long Term Omnibus Plan. Each of the nominees was elected.

                  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially

                  reporting; and

         functions):

                  design or operation of internal control over financial

                  financial information; and

         (b)      Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
