EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2012, 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 5 and 6 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 individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals 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 5 and 6 Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company. The 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 5 and 6 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.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2012

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 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 March 31, 2012, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (“the Company” or “Regency”) directly owned 217 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).
The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.
Reclassifications
Certain 2011 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure requirements in U.S.GAAP and IFRSs" ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 provides new guidance concerning fair value measurements and disclosure. The new guidance is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how to measure fair value and the necessary disclosures concerning fair value measurements. The guidance is applied prospectively. The adoption by the Company resulted in expanded disclosures over fair value measurements, included in Note 6.
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"). ASU 2011-05 revised guidance over the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in the financial statements. This guidance removes the previous presentation options and provides that entities must report comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The adoption by the Company resulted in a new Statement of Comprehensive Income, immediately following the Statements of Operations.

3.    Discontinued Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold 100% of its ownership interest in two operating properties and received net proceeds of $21.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not sell any operating or development properties. The combined operating income and gain on the sale of these properties were reclassified to discontinued operations. The revenues from properties included in discontinued operations were approximately $316,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. If the property is sold by Regency Realty Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, also a Taxable REIT Subsidiary as defined in Section 856(l) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company allocates interest expense to discontinued operations and have included such interest expense in computing income from discontinued operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, approximately $62,000 of income tax benefit was allocated to income from discontinued operations.

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 as the present value of future contractual cash flows discounted at an interest rate available for notes of the same terms and remaining maturities adjusted for customer specific credit risk, which, based on the Company's estimates, range from 7.33% to 8.19% at March 31, 2012. The fair value of notes receivable was determined primarily using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates made by the Company, the fair value of notes receivable was $23.4 million and $35.3 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
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 $23.4 million and $21.7 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Changes in the value of trading securities are recorded within net investment 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 by discounting future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect the current market rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms and remaining maturities, which, based on the Company's estimates, range from 3.5% to 4.9% at March 31, 2012. 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 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates used by the Company, the fair value of notes payable was $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Unsecured Credit Facilities
The fair value of the Company's credit facilities is estimated based on the interest rates currently offered to the Company by the Company's bankers, which is estimated to be 4.1% at March 31, 2012. The fair value of the credit facilities was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates used by the Company, the fair value of the credit facilities approximates carrying value at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. Changes in these credit valuation adjustments are not expected to result in a significant change in the valuation of the Company's derivatives.

March 31, 2012


(b) Fair Value Measurements
The Company's valuation policies and procedures are determined by its Finance Group, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, and the results of significant fair value measurements are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. Internally developed fair value measurements, including the unobservable inputs, are evaluated for reasonableness based on current transactions and experience in the real estate and capital markets.
The following are fair value measurements recorded on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively (in thousands):

10.    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 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $22.4 million and $17.4 million letters of credit outstanding, respectively.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a 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 work to achieve these goals through owning, operating, and investing in a high-quality portfolio of primarily grocery-anchored shopping centers that are leased 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

22



the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

At March 31, 2012, we directly owned 217 shopping centers (the “Consolidated Properties”) located in 24 states representing 23.9 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Through co-investment partnerships, we own partial ownership interests in 148 shopping centers (the “Unconsolidated Properties”) located in 24 states and the District of Columbia representing 18.5 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 pre-recessionary levels of approximately 95% and achieving positive rental rate growth are key objectives of our strategic plan. At March 31, 2012, the consolidated operating shopping centers were 93.4% leased, as compared to 90.9% at March 31, 2011.
We 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 also evaluate consumer preferences, shopping behaviors, and demographics to anticipate both challenges and opportunities in the changing retail industry that may affect our tenants.
We continue to 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 number of tenants open their stores within the same shopping center.  In markets where we have centers that contain leases with these types of clauses and economic weakness persists, 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 two to four years once construction has commenced, but can vary subject to the size and complexity 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, 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 an additional 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.

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.

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. 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.
We continuously monitor the financial condition of our tenants. 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 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 that of the Company as well as our pro-rata share of the co-investment partnerships. The following table summarizes net cash flows related to operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011 (in thousands):

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $6.1 million due to timing of cash receipts and payments.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $12.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to our contribution of $14.4 million to an investment partnership for our ownership interest in Lake Grove Commons, a shopping center acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received $10.0 million of distributions from our co-investment partnerships.
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $9.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to proceeds of $215.4 million from the issuance of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was used to repay unsecured notes of $161.7 million that matured in January 2011. During 2012, our issuances were used to fund redemptions of equity instruments. Additionally, during 2012, we borrowed $235.0 million on our unsecured credit facilities to repay $192.4 million of our fixed rate unsecured notes that matured in January 2012.
On March 31, 2012 our cash balance was $27.1 million. We operate our business such that we expect net cash provided by operating activities 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 on May 30, 2012. Our dividend has remained unchanged since May 2009 and future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be subject to capital requirements and availability. 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 March 31, 2012, 78.5% 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 45.4% at March 31, 2012, an increase from our ratio at December 31, 2011 of 45.0%. Our coverage ratio, including our pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 2.4 times for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 2.3 times for the year ended December 31, 2011. We define our coverage ratio as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) divided by the sum of the

25



gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders plus dividends paid to our preferred stockholders.
Commitments available to us under the Line totaled $600.0 million, matures in September 2015, and had an outstanding balance of $125.0 million at March 31, 2012. Additionally, our $250.0 million Term Loan, which matures in December 2016, had an outstanding balance of $150.0 million as of March 31, 2012.
In January 2012, we borrowed $150.0 million on the Term Loan and, in combination with proceeds drawn on the Line, repaid $192.4 million unsecured debt which matured on January 15, 2012. During the remainder of 2012, we estimate that we will require approximately $102.1 million, including $73.5 million for in-process development costs and $28.6 million for 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 and Term Loan, and when the capital markets are favorable, by issuing long term fixed rate debt and common equity.

During 2012, we acquired one shopping center for $29.0 million, including our pro rata share of acquisitions completed by our co-investment partnerships. Although we may fund acquisitions from various capital sources, a primary source of funds would come from capital recycling by selling shopping centers that no longer meet our investment criteria. During 2012, we sold two shopping centers for $23.1 million, including our pro rata share of sales completed by our co-investment partnerships. Relying on property sales as a substantial capital source to fund our acquisition program is subject to numerous risks including the inherent difficulties in selling properties in the current market, or selling properties at higher initial returns than planned, thereby limiting our ability to source the necessary funds to acquire dominate infill shopping centers consistent with our capital recycling strategy. Capital recycling may also be dilutive to our earnings given that dominate infill shopping centers that we would target for acquisition may have lower initial returns than many of the properties that we would target for sale.
At March 31, 2012, we had nine development properties that were either under construction or in lease up, which when completed, will represent a net investment of $217.7 million after projected sales of adjacent land and out-parcels. This compares to seven development properties at December 31, 2011, representing an investment of $161.3 million upon completion. We estimate that we will earn an average return on investment from our current development projects of 7.6% when completed and fully leased. Costs necessary to complete in-process development projects, net of reimbursements and projected land sales, are estimated to be $92.7 million.
Our preferred stock and preferred units, though callable by us, are not redeemable in cash at the option of the holders. On February 9, 2012, the Operating Partnership purchased all of its issued and outstanding Series D Preferred Units, at a 3.75% discount to par, resulting in an increase to net income available to common stockholders of approximately $1.0 million.  On February 16, 2012, the Parent Company issued 10 million shares of 6.625% Series 6 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $241.5 million, which was used to fund the redemption of the Series D Preferred Units and the Series 3 and Series 4 Preferred Stock. On March 31, 2012, the Company redeemed all issued and outstanding shares of the Parent Company's Series 3 and Series 4 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, resulting in a reduction to net income available to common stockholders through a non-cash charge of $7.0 million related to original issuance costs.
At March 31, 2012, our joint ventures had $255.6 million of scheduled secured mortgage loans and credit lines maturing in 2012. These maturities will be repaid from proceeds from new mortgage loan financings of $133.6 million and $122.0 million of partner capital contributions of which Regency's pro rata share is $44.6 million. During April 2012, the co-investment partnerships repaid $120.7 million of debt through new mortgage loan financings.
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-

26



investment partnerships including lines of credit as of March 31, 2012. 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 DIK, 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.

(1) Pro-rata financial information is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. 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 $7.0 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Overall, minimum rent increased due to increased occupancy levels at our consolidated operating centers from 90.9% leased at March 31, 2011 to 93.4% leased at March 31, 2012. Minimum rent also increased $2.8 million due to increase in GLA from the acquisition of three operating properties since March 31, 2011 and the four properties received through the DESCO DIK in May 2011. Recoveries from tenants represent their pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers, as well as other income, which for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included one time termination fees of $2.6 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to a decrease in tenant move-outs which resulted in an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of tenant specific assets at the time of early move-out. A majority of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax cost increases are recoverable from our tenants and are included in our revenues. Operating and maintenance expense decreased primarily due to the mild winter during 2012 as compared to 2011. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to $2.6 million of development overhead capitalization recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to approximately $900,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, offset by changes in incentive compensation. The increase in other expenses is due to income tax benefit of $1.8 million recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest on notes payable decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, as a result of the repayment of $192.4 million of 6.75% unsecured debt in January 2012 using proceeds from our $250 million Term Loan at lower interest rates.
During the the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold two out-parcels and received net proceeds of $7.3 million and recognized a gain of $1.8 million, whereas during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we sold two out-parcels and received net proceeds of $1.3 million and recognized no gain.

(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.
The change in our equity in income (loss) in investments in real estate partnerships in 2012, as compared to 2011, is primarily related to an impairment recognized on one investment in real estate partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
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 $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and includes $6.3 million in gains, net of taxes, from the sale of two operating properties for net proceeds of $21.6 million and the operations, including impairment, of the shopping centers sold. Income from discontinued operations was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Preferred stock dividends increased $9.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is attributable to the $7.0 million non-cash charge for stock issuance costs recognized upon redemption of the Series 3 and 4 Preferred Stock on March 31, 2012 as well as the additional $2.0 million of dividends declared on the Series 6 Preferred Stock issued in February 2012.
Related to our Parent Company's results, our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $13.2 million, an increase of $11.0 million as compared to net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The higher net income was primarily related to the increase in revenue, the decrease in interest expense, increases in gains on sale of real estate, and the increase in equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships, from 2011 to 2012, as discussed above. Our diluted net income per share was $0.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to diluted net income per share of $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Related to our Operating Partnership results, our net income attributable to common unit holders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $13.2 million, an increase of $11.0 million as compared to net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 for the same reasons stated above. Our diluted net income per unit was $0.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to net income per unit of $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. We believe that the tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to non-chlorinated solvent systems. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state-sponsored environmental programs. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy for third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also placed environmental insurance, where possible, on specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so. We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations; however, we can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our 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 us; 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 us.

Inflation/Deflation

Inflation has been historically low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, more recent data suggests inflation will eventually become a greater concern as the economy continues to recover from the recent recession. 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 rent 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 ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their pro-rata share of operating expenses, including common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. However, during deflationary periods or periods of economic weakness, minimum rents and percentage rents will decline as the supply of available retail space exceeds demand and consumer spending declines. Occupancy declines resulting from a weak economic period will also likely result in lower recovery rates of our operating expenses.
