FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $149 million which was an increase of $26 million from the prior year period.

Total Return for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $357 million which was a decrease of $169 million from the prior year period, primarily a result of significant valuation gains in the prior year partially offset by the increase in FFO in the current period.

Net income attributable to LP Units and REUs for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $49 million and $241 million, respectively, totalling $290 million, a decrease of $67 million from the prior year period.

Volume Weighted Average Trading Price

On April 15, 2013, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. ("Brookfield") paid a special dividend of one unit of Brookfield Property Partners per 17.42 shares held by shareholders of record as of March 26, 2013. On April 15, 2013, the units commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbols "BPY" and "BPY.UN," respectively. Generally, the tax cost of Brookfield Property Partners units received on March 26, 2013 should equal their fair market value on that date. Neither U.S. nor Canadian tax rules specify the method to determine fair market value in this situation; however, a commonly used method is the weighted average trading price of the units on the NYSE and TSX for the five trading days commencing on April 15, 2013 which is $21.8271 and CAD $22.3805 respectively.

This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder of Brookfield Property Partners units, and no representation with respect to the U.S. and Canadian income tax consequences to any particular holder is made. Consequently, holders of Brookfield Property Partners units are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian provincial securities laws and applicable regulations and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, include statements regarding our operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook, as well as the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, and include words such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "believes", "estimates", "seeks", "intends", "targets", "projects", "forecasts", "likely", or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "may", "will", "should", "would" and "could".

Although we believe that our anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks incidental to the ownership and operation of real estate properties including local real estate conditions; the impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the countries in which we do business; the ability to enter into new leases or renew leases on favourable terms; business competition; dependence on tenants' financial condition; the use of debt to finance our business; the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and foreign exchanges rates; uncertainties of real estate development or redevelopment; global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets; risks relating to our insurance coverage; the possible impact of international conflicts and other developments including terrorist acts; potential environmental liabilities; changes in tax laws and other tax related risks; dependence on management personnel; illiquidity of investments; the ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits therefrom; operational and reputational risks; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; and other risks and factors detailed from time to time in our documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States.

Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income and funds from operations on a total and per share basis. Net operating income is defined as revenues from commercial and hospitality operations of consolidated properties less direct commercial property and hospitality expenses, with the exception of depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. Brookfield Property Partners defines FFO as income, including equity accounted income, before realized gains (losses), fair value gains (losses) (including equity accounted fair value gains (losses)), depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, income tax expense (benefit), and less non-controlling interests of others in consolidated subsidiaries, but before non-controlling interests in the REUs. The company uses net operating income and FFO to assess its operating results. Net operating income is important in assessing operating performance and FFO is a widely-used measure to analyze real estate. The company provides the components of net operating income and a full reconciliation from net income to FFO with the financial information accompanying this press release. The company reconciles FFO to net income as opposed to cash flow from operating activities as it believes net income is the most comparable measure. Total Return is defined as income before income tax expense (benefit) and related non-controlling interests, and represents the amount by which we increase the value of our common equity through funds from operations and the increase or decrease in value of our investment properties over a period of time. We believe that our performance is best assessed by considering these two components in aggregate, and over the long term, because that is the basis on which we make investment decisions and operate the business. In fact, if we were solely focused on short-term financial results, it is quite likely that we would operate the business very differently and, in our opinion, in a manner that would produce lower long-term returns. Net operating income, FFO and Total Return are measures which do not have any standard meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Note regarding pro forma financial information:

The pro forma financial information in this release has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition by Brookfield Property Partners of Brookfield's commercial property operations (the "reorganization"), including its office, retail, multi-family and industrial and opportunistic assets, located in the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Europe, that have historically been owned and operated, both directly and through its operating entities. The commercial property operations transferred to the company through the reorganization includes all of the commercial property operations of Brookfield included in the Brookfield carve-out financial statements except for (i) its interest in the Howard Hughes Corporation, a publicly listed real estate entity; and (ii) certain assets within Brookfield's Australian operations which are not being transferred.

In addition, the pro forma information was prepared reflecting adjustments for the following:

a) Acquisition of interests in Brookfield's Australian properties through participating loan notes. b) Exclusion of certain assets within Brookfield's Australian operations which are not being transferred to the company as part of the reorganization. c) Issuance of $1.25 billion of Capital Securities to Brookfield as partial consideration for the business acquired by the company. d) Issuance of $25 million of Preferred Shares by certain holding entities of Brookfield Property Partners. e) Issuance of partnership units by Brookfield Property Partners as partial consideration for the business acquired, and issuance of approximately 80 million units of the company in the spin-off based on the number of Class A limited voting shares and Class B limited voting shares of Brookfield. f) Reorganization of the legal structure through which the business is held, including the issuance of certain inter-company debt between the property partnership and the holding entities, resulting in changes in the effective tax rate and the tax basis of certain investments. g) Annual management fees of $50 million paid by the company to Brookfield pursuant to a Master Services Agreement. h) Exclusion of Brookfield's 3% investment in Howard Hughes Corporation, which is not being transferred to the company as part of the reorganization. This investment has been disposed of during the first quarter of 2013; however, certain liabilities related to the assets still remain which are being excluded in the pro forma financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions deemed appropriate by management. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to represent, or be indicative of, the results that would have occurred had the transactions reflected in the pro forma adjustments been effected on the dates indicated.
