EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Regency Centers Corporation” or the “Parent Company” mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to “Regency Centers, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term “the Company” or “Regency” means the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units (“Units”). As of September 30, 2011, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8% of the Units in the Operating Partnership and the remaining limited Units are owned by investors. The Parent Company owns all of the Series 3, 4 and 5 Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management.
The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
 
enhances investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;  

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and  

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports. 
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the Parent Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured public debt and approximately 13% of the secured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company and retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business. These sources include the Operating Partnership's operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.
Stockholders' equity, partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units, Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company, and Series D Preferred Units owned by institutional investors. The Series D preferred units and limited partners' units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and outside of stockholders' equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company's financial statements. The Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company are eliminated in consolidation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and are classified as preferred units of general partner in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. 

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while stockholders' equity and partners' capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

1.
Organization and Principles of Consolidation
General
Regency Centers Corporation (the “Parent Company”) began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in 1993 and is the managing general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. At September 30, 2011, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (“the Company” or “Regency”) directly owned 219 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 148 retail shopping centers through investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as joint ventures or co-investment partnerships).
Estimates, Risks, and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates in the Company's financial statements relate to the carrying values of its investments in real estate including its shopping centers, properties in development and its investments in real estate partnerships, and accounts receivable, net. Although the U.S. economy is recovering, economic conditions remain challenging, and therefore, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions that have been utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements could change significantly, if economic conditions were to weaken.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and consolidated partnerships in which the Company has a controlling interest. Investments in real estate partnerships not controlled by the Company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the above shopping center acquisitions, on May 4, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the DESCO Group ("DESCO") to redeem its entire 16.35% interest in Macquarie CountryWide-Regency-DESCO, LLC ("MCWR-DESCO"). The agreement allowed for a distribution-in-kind ("DIK") of the assets in the co-investment partnership. The assets were distributed as 100% ownership interests to DESCO and to Regency after a selection process, as provided for by the agreement. Regency selected four assets, all in the St. Louis market. The properties which the Company received through the DIK were recorded at the carrying value of the Company's equity investment of $18.8 million. Additionally, as part of the agreement, Regency received a $5.0 million disposition fee at closing on May 4, 2011 to buyout its asset, property, and leasing management contracts, and will receive $1.0 million for transition services it will continue to provide through 2011, of which $625,000 has been recognized.

3.    Discontinued Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold 100% of its ownership interest in three operating properties for net proceeds of $16.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold 100% of its ownership interest in one operating property and one property in development for net proceeds of $25.5 million. The combined operating income and gain on the sale of these properties were reclassified to discontinued operations. The revenues included in discontinued operations were approximately $2.3 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The operating income and gain on sales of properties included in discontinued operations are reported net of income taxes, if the property is sold by Regency Realty Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which is a Taxable REIT Subsidiary as defined in Section 856(l) of the Internal Revenue Code. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately $283,000 of income tax benefit and approximately $26,000 of income tax expense, were allocated to gain on sale of properties in development from discontinued operations, respectively.

5.    Notes Payable and Unsecured Line of Credit
The Parent Company does not have any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt and 12.8% of the secured debt of the Operating Partnership.
Notes Payable
Notes payable consist of mortgage loans secured by properties and unsecured public debt. Mortgage loans may be prepaid, but could be subject to yield maintenance premiums. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest or interest only, and mature over various terms through 2028, whereas, interest on unsecured public debt is payable semi-annually and the debt matures over various terms through 2021. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 5.22% to 8.40% with a weighted average rate of 6.45%. Fixed interest rates on unsecured public debt range from 4.80% to 7.25% with a weighted average rate of 5.61%. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had two variable rate mortgage loans, one in the amount of $3.8 million with a variable interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 380 basis points maturing on October 1, 2014 and one construction loan with a current balance

of $8.9 million with a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 160 basis points maturing on September 1, 2014. On January 18, 2011, the Company paid the maturing balance of $161.7 million of 7.95% ten-year senior unsecured notes from proceeds from the unsecured line of credit.
The Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants for its unsecured public debt as defined in the indenture agreements such as the following ratios: Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Assets, Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated Assets, Consolidated Income for Debt Service to Consolidated Debt Service, and Unencumbered Consolidated Assets to Unsecured Consolidated Debt. As of September 30, 2011, management of the Company believes it is in compliance with all financial covenants for its unsecured public debt.
Unsecured Line of Credit
The Company has a $600.0 million unsecured line of credit (the “Line”) commitment under an agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank and a syndicate of other banks, which was amended on September 7, 2011 primarily to extend the maturity date, now matures in September 2015, and includes one, one year extension option. The Line has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and an annual facility fee of 25 basis points subject to Regency maintaining its corporate credit and senior unsecured ratings at BBB. In addition, the Company has the ability to increase the Line through an accordion feature to $1.0 billion. Borrowing capacity is reduced by the balance of outstanding borrowings and commitments under outstanding letters of credit. The balance on the Line was $85.0 million and $10.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The proceeds from the Line are used to finance the acquisition and development of real estate and for general working-capital purposes.
The Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement such as Minimum Tangible Net Worth, Ratio of Indebtedness to Total Asset Value ("TAV"), Ratio of Unsecured Indebtedness to Unencumbered Asset Value, Ratio of Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to Fixed Charges, Ratio of Secured Indebtedness to TAV, Ratio of Unencumbered Net Operating Income to Unsecured Interest Expense, and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. As of September 30, 2011, management of the Company believes it is in compliance with all financial covenants for the Line.
The Company previously had a $113.8 million revolving credit facility under an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank and a syndicate of other banks that matured in February 2011. There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2010 and the Company did not renew this facility when it matured in February 2011.

6.    Fair Value Measurements

(a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following provides information about the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including their estimated fair values.
    
Notes Receivable
The fair value of the Company's notes receivable is estimated based on the current market rates available for notes of the same terms and remaining maturities adjusted for customer specific credit risk. The fair value of notes receivable was determined using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates made by the Company, the fair value of notes receivable was $35.2 million at September 30, 2011.

Trading Securities Held in Trust

The Company has investments in marketable securities that are classified as trading securities held in trust on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the trading securities held in trust was determined using quoted prices in active markets, considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the trading securities held in trust was $20.7 million and $20.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Changes in the value of trading securities are recorded within loss (income) from deferred compensation plan in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Notes Payable
The fair value of the Company's notes payable is estimated based on the current market rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms and remaining maturities. Fixed rate loans assumed in connection with real estate acquisitions are recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value at the time the property is acquired including those loans assumed in distribution-in-kind liquidations. The fair value of the notes payable was determined using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates used by the Company, the fair value of notes payable was $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Unsecured Line of Credit
The fair value of the Company's Line is estimated based on the interest rates currently offered to the Company by the Company's bankers. Based on the recent amendment to the Line, the Company has determined that fair value approximates carrying value.

Long-lived assets held and used are comprised primarily of real estate. The provision for impairment recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to a single operating property. The triggering event that led to the impairment charges during 2011 was primarily due to economic declines in the shopping center's trade area coupled with significant competition from nearby shopping centers. As a result, the Company evaluated the current fair value of the property and recorded an impairment loss.
Fair value was determined through the use of an income approach. The income approach estimates an income stream for a property (typically 10 years) and discounts this income plus a reversion (presumed sale) into a present value at a risk adjusted rate. Yield rates and growth assumptions utilized in this approach are derived from market transactions as well as other financial and industry data. The terminal cap rate and discount rate are significant inputs to this valuation. The Company has determined that the inputs used to value this long-lived asset falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The weighted-average grant price for restricted stock granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $41.81. The total intrinsic value of restricted stock vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $6.1 million.

As of September 30, 2011, there was $16.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock granted under the Parent Company's Long-Term Omnibus Plan. When recognized, this compensation results in additional paid in capital in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income (Loss) of the Parent Company and in general partner preferred and common units in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Capital and Comprehensive Income (Loss) of the Operating Partnership. This unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the next three years, through 2014. The Company issues new restricted stock from its authorized shares available at the date of grant.

9.    Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (“NQDCP”). This plan allows select employees and directors to defer part or all of their salary, cash bonus, and restricted stock awards. Restricted stock awards that are designated to be deferred into the NQDCP upon vesting are classified as liabilities from the grant date through the vesting date. All contributions into the participants' accounts are fully vested upon contribution to the NQDCP and are deposited in a Rabbi trust. Effective June 20, 2011, the Company amended its NQDCP such that participant account balances held in the Regency common stock fund, including future deferrals of Regency common stock, must remain allocated to the Regency common stock fund and may only be distributed to the participant in the form of Regency common stock upon termination from the plan.  Additionally, participant account balances allocated to various diversified mutual funds are prohibited from being allocated into the Regency common stock fund. 

The Company accounts for the NQDCP in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 710 and the restricted stock awards under Topic 718. The assets in the Rabbi trust remain subject to the claims of creditors of the Company and are not the property of the participant. The NQDCP allows participants to allocate their account balance among various investments, including several mutual funds and the Company's common stock. The assets of the Rabbi trust, exclusive of the shares of the Company's common stock, are classified as trading securities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and

accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized within income from deferred compensation plan in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investments in shares of the Company's common stock are included, at cost, as treasury stock in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Parent Company and as a reduction of general partner capital in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Operating Partnership. The participants' deferred compensation liability, exclusive of the shares of the Company's common stock after the June 20, 2011 amendment, is included within accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $20.2 million and $35.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Increases or decreases in the deferred compensation liability, exclusive of amounts attributable to participant investments in the shares of the Company's common stock, are recorded as general and administrative expense within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in participant account balances related to the Regency common stock fund are recorded directly within stockholders' equity rather than general and administrative expense.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company is also subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to real estate pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. The Company estimates the cost associated with remediating all of its environmental obligations at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 to be $2.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, all of which has been accrued in accounts payable and other liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations; however, it can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to the shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to it; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.
The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an amount not to exceed $60.0 million which reduces the credit availability under the Line. The Company also has stand alone letters of credit with other banks. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $3.9 million and $5.3 million letters of credit outstanding, respectively. 

12.    Subsequent Events

Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, we have evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the September 30, 2011 unaudited consolidated balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in our  consolidated financial statements.

On October 5, 2011, the Company sold the office building portion of the Paseo Del Sol operating property, for proceeds of approximately $4.8 million.

On October 19, 2011, the Company assigned its 50%ownership interest in an investment in a real estate partnership to the other partner for proceeds of approximately $8.3 million.    

On October 28, 2011, the Company sold one operating property, Chapel Hill Centre, for proceeds of approximately $7.3 million.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements    

In addition to historical information, the following information contains forward-looking statements as defined under federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated changes in our revenues, the size of our development program, earnings per share and unit, returns and portfolio value, and expectations about our liquidity. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Regency Centers Corporation (the “Parent Company”) and Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), collectively “Regency” or “the Company”, operate, 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 timing and pricing of acquisitions and sales of properties and out-parcels; changes in leasing activity and market rents; timing of development starts; meeting development schedules; our inability to exercise voting control over the co-investment partnerships through which we own or develop many of our properties; consequences of any armed conflict or terrorist attack against the United States; and the ability to obtain governmental approvals. For additional information, see “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. appearing elsewhere herein.

Overview

Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in 1993 and is the managing general partner in Regency Centers, L.P. We are focused on achieving total shareholder returns in excess of REIT shopping center averages, and sustaining growth in our net asset value and our earnings over an extended period of time. We plan to achieve these goals through owning, operating, and investing in a high-quality portfolio of primarily grocery-anchored shopping centers that are tenanted by market-dominant grocers, category-leading anchors, specialty retailers, and restaurants located in areas with above average household incomes and population densities. All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through its investments in real estate partnerships with third parties (also referred to as co-investment partnerships or joint ventures). The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

At September 30, 2011, we directly owned 219 shopping centers located in 24 states representing 23.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Through co-investment partnerships, we own partial ownership interests in 148 shopping centers located in 23 states and the District of Columbia representing 18.6 million square feet of GLA.  
We earn revenues and generate cash flow by leasing space in our shopping centers to grocery stores, major retail anchors, side-shop retailers, and restaurants, including ground leasing or selling building pads (out-parcels) to these same types of tenants. Historically, we have experienced growth in revenues by increasing occupancy and rental rates in our existing shopping centers and by acquiring and developing new shopping centers. Increasing occupancy in our shopping centers to historical levels and achieving positive rental rate growth are key objectives of our strategic plan.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the consolidated operating shopping centers were 92.6% leased. We currently expect rental rates to decline moderately in isolated markets as we release vacant space, or renew expiring leases, where the previous tenant's rental rates were above market.
We continue to closely monitor the operating performance and rent collections of all tenants in our shopping centers, especially those tenants operating retail formats that are experiencing significant changes in competition, business practice, and store closings in other locations. We expect these weaker tenants to continue moving out of our shopping centers during the remainder of 2011 and 2012, which will provide us the opportunity to lease these vacancies to financially stronger tenants that will contribute to the overall success of our shopping centers. We also evaluate consumer preferences, shopping behaviors and demographics to anticipate both challenges and opportunities in the changing retailing industry.
We closely monitor tenants who have co-tenancy clauses in their lease agreements. These tenants are typically located in larger format community shopping centers that contain multiple anchor tenants whose leases contain these types of clauses. Co-tenancy clauses have several variants: they may allow a tenant to postpone a store opening if certain other tenants fail to open their store; they may allow a tenant the opportunity to close their store prior to lease expiration if another tenant closes their store prior to lease expiration; or more commonly, they may allow a tenant to pay reduced levels of rent until a certain

22



number of tenants open their stores within the same shopping center. In certain geographic areas where economic weakness persists, we have centers that contain leases with these types of clauses, and we could experience reductions in rent and occupancy related to tenants exercising their co-tenancy clauses.
We grow our shopping center portfolio through acquisitions of operating centers and new shopping center development. We will continue to use our unique combination of development capabilities, market presence, and anchor relationships to invest in value-added opportunities sourced from land owners and joint venture partners, the redevelopment of existing centers, and the development of land. Development is customer driven, meaning we generally have an executed lease from the anchor before we start construction. Developments serve the growth needs of our anchors and specialty retailers, resulting in modern shopping centers with long-term anchor leases that produce attractive returns on our invested capital. This development process typically requires three to five years from initial land or redevelopment acquisition through construction, lease-up, and stabilization of rental income, but can take longer depending upon tenant demand for new stores and the size of the project. We fund our acquisition and development activity from various capital sources including new debt, equity and through capital recycling. Capital recycling involves identifying non-strategic assets from our real estate portfolio and selling those in the open market; and reinvesting the sale proceeds into new higher quality developments and acquisitions that will generate sustainable revenue growth and attractive returns.
Co-investment partnerships provide us with a reliable capital source for shopping center acquisitions, as well as, the opportunity to earn fees for asset management, property management, and other investing and financing services. As asset manager, we are engaged by our partners to apply similar operating, investment and capital strategies to the portfolios owned by the co-investment partnerships as those applied to the portfolio that we wholly-own. Co-investment partnerships grow their shopping center investments through acquisitions from third parties or direct purchases from us. Although selling properties to co-investment partnerships reduces our direct ownership interest, it provides a source of capital that further strengthens our balance sheet while we continue to share, to the extent of our ownership interest, in the risks and rewards of shopping centers that meet our high quality standards and long-term investment strategy.
    
Our co-investment partnerships have significant levels of debt that mature through 2012 and are subject to significant borrowing risks if the capital markets again become unavailable as they were during the recent recession. While we have to date successfully refinanced our maturing loans, a downturn in the U.S. economy could hinder our ability to access capital, including access from or by our joint venture partners, or to obtain future financing to fund maturing debt. Currently, we believe that our joint venture partners have sufficient capital or access thereto for these future capital requirements. The impact to the Company of a co-investment partner defaulting on its share of a capital call is discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

We seek to reduce our operating and leasing risks through diversification which we achieve by geographically diversifying our shopping centers, avoiding dependence on any single property, market, or tenant, and owning a portion of our shopping centers through co-investment partnerships.

(2) Includes Regency's pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties.

Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close 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 and tenant receivables. We are closely monitoring industry trends and sales data to help us identify declines in retail categories or tenants who might be experiencing financial difficulties as a result of slowing sales, lack of credit, changes in retail formats or increased competition. As a result of our findings, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing, or curtail the allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements within a certain retail category or to a specific retailer.
Blockbuster Video, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 23, 2010, represents the majority of our video rental store leases with annual base rent of less than 0.5% of our annualized base rent on a pro-rata basis. The remaining leases were assigned to Dish Network in July 2011, which purchased Blockbuster's assets in April 2011.
We periodically monitor the credit quality of our tenants by reviewing their reported credit ratings and sales data. We communicate often with those tenants who have announced store closings or filed bankruptcy. We are not currently aware of the pending bankruptcy or announced store closings of any tenants in our shopping centers beyond those described above that would individually cause a material reduction in our revenues, and no tenant represents more than 5% of our annual base rent on a pro-rata basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units. All debt is issued by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships. Accordingly, the discussion below regarding liquidity and capital resources is presented on a consolidated basis for the Company. The following table summarizes net cash flows related to operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

On September 30, 2011 our cash balance was $21.2 million. We operate our business such that we expect net cash provided by operating activities, before the effect of the derivative instruments settled in 2010 and funded through financing activity, will provide the necessary funds to pay our scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, capital expenditures necessary to maintain our shopping centers, and distributions to our share and unit holders.

Our dividend distribution policy is set by our Board of Directors who monitor our financial position. Our Board of Directors recently declared our quarterly dividend of $0.4625 per share, payable November 30, 2011 to stock and unit holders of record as of November 16, 2011. Our dividend has remained unchanged since May 2009. We plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that at a minimum meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.
We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. At September 30, 2011, 79.9% of our real estate assets were unencumbered. Such assets allow us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain significant availability on our $600.0 million unsecured line of credit (“the Line”). Our debt to asset ratio (before the effect of accumulated depreciation), including our pro-rata share of the debt and assets of joint ventures, is 45.3% at September 30, 2011, a significant decline from our ratio at December 31, 2010 of 48.1%, due to the settlement of our forward sale agreements ("Forward Equity Offering") in March 2011. Our coverage ratio, including our pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 2.3 times for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 2.1 times for the year ended December 31, 2010. We define our coverage ratio as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders plus dividends paid to our preferred stockholders.
At September 30, 2011, commitments available to us under the Line totaled $600.0 million, which had an outstanding balance of $85.0 million. The Line was renewed in September 2011, primarily to extend the maturity date, and now matures in September 2015. In February 2011, a $113.8 million revolving credit facility expired with no balance outstanding and we did not renew this facility.
On January 15, 2011, $161.7 million of unsecured debt matured, and we repaid the maturity by borrowing on the Line. On March 9, 2011, we received net proceeds of $215.4 million from the settlement of the 8.0 million common share Forward Equity Offering and used a portion of the proceeds to payoff the balance of the Line. Through 2014, we currently estimate that

25



we will require approximately $470.3 million primarily to repay $392.6 million of maturing debt (excluding scheduled principal payments and including a construction loan amended after September 30, 2011 to mature in 2014), complete in-process developments, and to fund our pro-rata share of estimated capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships for repayment of debt. To meet these cash requirements, we plan to use funds from our existing line of credit, additional bank financing currently under negotiation with our lenders, and when the capital markets are favorable, by issuing long term fixed rate debt and common equity.
At September 30, 2011, we had 18 development properties that were either under construction or in lease up, which when completed, will represent a net investment of $378.9 million after projected sales of adjacent land and out-parcels. This compares to 26 development properties at December 31, 2010, representing an investment of $530.6 million upon completion. We estimate that we will earn an average return on investment from our current development projects of 6.6% when completed and fully leased. Costs necessary to complete in-process development projects, net of reimbursements and projected land sales, are estimated to be approximately $835,000.
At September 30, 2011, our joint ventures had $280.0 million of scheduled secured mortgage loans and credit lines maturing through 2013. A more detailed loan maturity schedule and further discussion about the repayment of maturing debt is included below under Notes Payable. Year to date through September 30, 2011, the co-investment partnerships have repaid $456.6 million of debt. Maturities through 2013 are expected to be repaid primarily through new mortgage loan financings or refinancings, as well as partner capital contributions.
We believe that our joint venture partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. We communicate with our co-investment partners regularly regarding the operating and capital budgets of our co-investment partnerships, and believe that we will successfully complete the refinancing of our joint venture debt as it matures in the future. In the event that a co-investment partner was unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the co-investment partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call at an interest rate at the lesser of prime plus a pre-defined spread or the maximum rate allowed by law. A decision to loan to a defaulting joint venture partner, which would be secured by the defaulting partner's partnership interest, would be based on the fair value of the co-investment partnership assets, our joint venture partner's financial health, and would be subject to an evaluation of our own capital commitments and sources to fund those commitments. Alternatively, should we determine that our joint venture partners will not have sufficient capital to meet future capital needs, we could trigger liquidation of the partnership. For the co-investment partnerships that have distribution-in-kind (“DIK”) provisions, and own multiple properties, a liquidation of the co-investment partnership could be completed by either a DIK of the properties to each joint venture partner in proportion to its partnership interest, open market sale, or a combination of both methods. Our co-investment partnership properties have been financed with non-recourse loans that represent 100% of the total debt of the co-investment partnerships including lines of credit as of September 30, 2011. We and our partners have no guarantees related to these loans. In those co-investment partnerships which have DIK provisions, if we trigger liquidation by distribution-in-kind, each partner would receive title to properties selected in a rotation process for distribution and would assume any related loans secured by the properties distributed. The loan agreements generally provide for assumption by either joint venture partner after obtaining any required lender consent. We would only be responsible for those loans we assume through the DIK and only to the extent of the value of the property we receive, since after assumption through the DIK the loans would remain non-recourse.
Our preferred stock and preferred units, though callable by us, are not redeemable in cash at the option of the holders.
Although common or preferred equity raised in the public markets by the Parent Company is an option to fund future capital needs, access to these markets could be limited at times. When conditions for the issuance of securities are acceptable, we will evaluate issuing debt or equity to fund new acquisition opportunities, fund new developments, or repay maturing debt. At September 30, 2011, the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership have an existing universal shelf registration statement available for the issuance of new equity and debt securities.

Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

At September 30, 2011, we had investments in real estate partnerships of $425.5 million.

(1) Pro-rata financial information is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. However, management believes that providing such information is useful to investors in assessing the impact of its investments in real estate partnership activities on the operations of Regency, which includes such items on a single line presentation under the equity method in its consolidated financial statements.
(2) The difference between Regency's share of the net assets of the co-investment partnerships and the Company's investments in real estate partnerships per the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets relates primarily to differences in inside/outside basis.
Investments in real estate partnerships are primarily composed of co-investment partnerships in which we currently invest with five co-investment partners and a closed-end real estate fund (“Regency Retail Partners” or the “Fund”), as further summarized below. In addition to earning our pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these co-investment partnerships, we receive recurring market-based fees for asset management, property management, and leasing as well as fees for investment and financing services, which were $20.8 million and $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we received transaction fees from our co-investment partnerships of $5.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which are non-recurring.
Our investments in real estate partnerships as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consist of the following (in thousands):

(1) At December 31, 2010, our ownership interest in MCWR-DESCO was 16.35%. The liquidation of MCWR-DESCO was complete effective May 4, 2011.
On May 4, 2011, we entered into an agreement with the DESCO Group ("DESCO") to redeem our entire 16.35% interest in Macquarie CountryWide-Regency-DESCO, LLC ("MCWR-DESCO"). The agreement allowed for a DIK of the assets in the co-investment partnership. The assets were distributed as 100% ownership interests to DESCO and to Regency

27



after a selection process, as provided for by the agreement. Regency selected four assets, all in the St. Louis market. The properties which we received through the DIK were recorded at the carrying value of our equity investment of $18.8 million. Additionally, as part of the agreement, we received a $5.0 million disposition fee at closing on May 4, 2011 to buyout our asset, property, and leasing management contracts, and will receive $1.0 million for transition services we will continue to provide through 2011, of which $625,000 has been recognized.

Notes Payable and Unsecured Line of Credit
Notes Payable
Notes payable consist of mortgage loans secured by properties and unsecured public debt. The Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured public debt and 12.8% of the secured debt of the Operating Partnership. Mortgage loans may be prepaid, but could be subject to yield maintenance premiums and are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest or interest only, and mature over various terms through 2028. Interest on unsecured public debt is payable semi-annually and the debt matures over various terms through 2021. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 5.22% to 8.40% with a weighted average rate of 6.45%. Fixed interest rates on unsecured public debt range from 4.80% to 7.25% with a weighted average rate of 5.61%. As of September 30, 2011, we had two variable rate mortgage loans, one in the amount of $3.8 million with a variable interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 380 basis points maturing on October 1, 2014 and one construction loan with a current balance of $8.9 million with a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 160 basis points maturing on September 1, 2014. On January 18, 2011, we paid the maturing balance of $161.7 million of 7.95% ten-year senior unsecured notes from a portion of the proceeds received with the Forward Equity Offering settlement as further discussed below under Equity and Capital.
At September 30, 2011, 95.2% of our total debt had fixed interest rates, compared with 99.0% at December 31, 2010. We intend to limit the percentage of variable interest rate debt to be no more than 30% of total debt, which we believe to be an acceptable risk. Currently, our variable rate debt represents less than 5.0% of our total debt.
We are required to comply with certain financial covenants for our unsecured public debt as defined in the indenture agreements such as the following ratios: Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Assets, Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated Assets, Consolidated Income for Debt Service to Consolidated Debt Service, and Unencumbered Consolidated Assets to Unsecured Consolidated Debt. As of September 30, 2011, management believes we are in compliance with all financial covenants for our unsecured public debt.
Unsecured Line of Credit
We have a $600.0 million Line commitment under an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank and a syndicate of other banks, which was amended on September 7, 2011, that matures in September 2015, and includes one, one year extension option. The Line has a current variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and an annual facility fee of 25 basis points subject to maintaining our corporate credit and senior unsecured ratings at BBB. The balance on the Line was $85.0 million and $10.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Line is used to finance the acquisition and development of real estate and for general working-capital purposes.
The interest spread paid on the Line commitment is dependent upon maintaining specific investment-grade ratings. We are also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement such as Minimum Tangible Net Worth, Ratio of Indebtedness to Total Asset Value ("TAV"), Ratio of Unsecured Indebtedness to Unencumbered Asset Value, Ratio of Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to Fixed Charges, Ratio of Secured Indebtedness to TAV, Ratio of Unencumbered Net Operating Income to Unsecured Interest Expense, and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. As of September 30, 2011, management believes we are in compliance with all financial covenants for the Line.
We previously had a $113.8 million revolving credit facility under an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank and a syndicate of other banks that matured in February 2011. There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2010 and we did not renew this facility when it matured.

(1) Includes unsecured public debt and the Line. The Line is included in 2015 maturities and matures in September 2015.

We plan to fund the repayment of maturities through 2014 with funds from our existing line of credit, additional bank financing currently under negotiation with our lenders, and when the capital markets are favorable, by issuing long term fixed rate debt and common equity.

Notes Payable - Investments in Real Estate Partnerships
At September 30, 2011, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.8 billion maturing through 2028, of which 99.4% had weighted average fixed interest rates of 5.7%, and the remaining note payable had a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus 270 basis points. These loans are all non-recourse and our pro-rata share was $585.0 million.
On April 14, 2011, GRIR placed mortgages totaling $340.0 million on 20 assets in the partnership. The refinance included a weighted average interest rate of 4.9% over a weighted average 11-year term and is interest-only for the first year. The GRIR partners contributed their pro-rata share of the capital necessary to repay the balance of the 2011 maturities not repaid from the new loans, which we funded from the proceeds of the settlement of the Forward Equity Offering. Year to date through September 30, 2011, the co-investment partnerships have repaid $456.6 million of debt.

Equity and Capital

Common Stock of the Parent Company
On March 9, 2011, we settled the Forward Equity Offering dated December 4, 2009 with J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo Securities by delivering an aggregate of 8.0 million shares of the Company's common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $215.4 million. We used a portion of the proceeds to repay the Line, which had been drawn upon to repay unsecured notes of $161.7 million that matured in January 2011. The balance of the proceeds is being used for general working capital purposes.

Increases in depreciation and amortization expense along with operating, maintenance, and real estate tax expense are primarily related to the four properties received through the DESCO DIK and the four other operating properties acquired after September 30, 2010. The majority of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax cost increases are recoverable from our tenants and included in our revenues. General and administrative expenses declined $6.1 million, as a result of decreasing incentive compensation and certain employee benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest on notes payable decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2010, as a result of the repayment of $161.7 million of unsecured debt in January 2011. Capitalized interest decreased as a result of reduced development activity during the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2010. Hedge interest increased as a result of $36.7 million of hedges settled on September 30, 2010, with the realized loss being amortized over a ten year period beginning October 2010, resulting in increased hedge interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
We evaluate our real estate investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, which may result in a reduction in the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. A provision for impairment was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $6.4 million, related to a single operating property due to economic declines in the shopping center's trade area coupled with significant competition from nearby shopping centers.

(1) At September 30, 2010, our ownership interest in MCWR-DESCO was 16.35%. The liquidation of MCWR-DESCO was complete effective May 4, 2011.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company realized its pro-rata share of the net gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.7M for one operating property disposed of by the Columbia I partnership. Additionally, the Company's pro-rata share of income from the GRIR partnership increased due to lower depreciation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the impairment provisions recognized in 2010.
Related to both our Parent Company's results and our Operating Partnership's results, our net income attributable to common stockholders and unit holders for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $8.5 million, an increase of approximately $616,000 as compared to net income of $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our diluted net income per share and unit was $0.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 2010:
Our revenues increased by $15.2 million or 4.2% to $379.7 million in 2011, as compared to 2010, as summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Minimum rent increased due to the acquisition of four operating properties that occurred after September 30, 2010, and the four properties received through the DESCO DIK in May 2011. The increase in percentage rent was due to increased tenant sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2010. The decrease in recoveries from tenants and other income resulted from a higher level of store closures and termination fees experienced during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 2011; the result of an improving retail sales environment. The increase in management, transaction, and other fees was due to the $5.0 million disposition fee and $625,000 in consulting fees we received as a result of the DESCO DIK liquidation during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the $2.6 million disposition fee we received related to GRI's acquisition of MCW's investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Increases in depreciation and amortization expense along with operating, maintenance, and real estate tax expense are primarily related to the four properties received through the DESCO DIK during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 along with the four operating properties acquired since September 30, 2010. The majority of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax cost increases are recoverable from our tenants and included in our revenues. General and administrative expense declined $1.9 million as a result of decreasing incentive compensation and certain employee benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Other expenses decreased as a result of approximately $1.4 million of income tax benefit recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a tax expense of approximately $927,000 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest on notes payable decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2010, as a result of the repayment of $161.7 million of unsecured debt in January 2011. Capitalized interest decreased as a result of reduced development activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2010. Hedge interest increased as a result of $63.5 million of hedges settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 that resulted in increased hedge interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
We evaluate our real estate investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, which may result in a reduction in the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. A provision for impairment was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $6.4 million, related to a single operating property due to economic declines in the shopping center's trade area coupled with significant competition from nearby shopping centers.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we sold four out-parcels for net proceeds of $2.1 million and recognized no gain, whereas during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold nine out-parcels for net proceeds of $8.5 million and recognized a gain of approximately $444,000.

(1) At September 30, 2010, our ownership interest in MCWR-DESCO was 16.35%. The liquidation of MCWR-DESCO was complete effective May 4, 2011.
The change in our equity in income (loss) of investments in real estate partnerships, compared to 2010, is related to our pro-rata share of a decrease in depreciation expense of $2.2 million, a decrease in impairment provisions of $1.8 million, and the net gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.7M, offset by a decrease in gain on sale of properties by $700,000 at the individual real estate partnerships.
If we sell a property or classify a property as held-for-sale, we are required to reclassify its operations into discontinued operations for all prior periods which results in a reclassification of amounts previously reported as continuing operations into discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and includes $2.3 million in gains, net of taxes, from the sale of three operating properties for net proceeds of $16.3 million and the operations, including impairment, of the shopping centers sold. Income from discontinued operations was $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and includes $6.8 million in gains from the sale of one operating property and one property in development for net proceeds of $25.5 million and the operations of the shopping centers sold.
Related to our Parent Company's results, our net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $23.6 million, a decrease of $3.4 million as compared to net income of $27.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The lower net income was primarily related to the $6.8 million gain recorded from the sale of an operating property and a development property recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, offset by the increase in disposition fees recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our diluted net income per share was $0.26 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to diluted net income per share of $0.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Related to our Operating Partnership results, our net income attributable to common unit holders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $23.6 million, a decrease of $3.6 million as compared to net income of $27.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 for the same reasons stated above. Our diluted net income per unit was $0.26 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to net income per unit of $0.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
