                      CHELSEA GCA REALTY PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.     ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       Chelsea GCA Realty Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), which
       commenced operations on November 2, 1993, is engaged in the development,
       ownership, acquisition, leasing and operation of manufacturers' outlet
       centers. As of June 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership operated 17
       centers in 9 states (the "Properties") containing approximately 3.3
       million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). The Properties are
       located near large metropolitan areas including New York, Los Angeles,
       San Francisco, Sacramento, Atlanta, Portland (Oregon), Kansas City and
       Cleveland, or at or near tourist destinations including the Napa Valley,
       Palm Springs and the Monterey Peninsula. The Operating Partnership also
       has a number of properties under development. The sole general partner in
       the Operating Partnership, Chelsea GCA Realty, Inc. (the "Company"), is a
       self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust.

       Ownership of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 1996 was as
       follows:


            General partner               68.8%          11,780,700  units
            Limited partners              31.2%           5,347,300  units
                                         --------       -----------
                 TOTAL                   100.0%         17,128,000


       The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Operating
       Partnership include the accounts of Solvang Designer Outlets ("Solvang"),
       a limited partnership in which the Operating Partnership has a 50%
       interest and is the sole general partner. As the sole general partner,
       the Operating Partnership has the ability to exercise both financial and
       operational control over the partnership. Solvang is not material to the
       operations or financial position of the Operating Partnership.

       The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
       have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
       principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
       Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
       include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted
       accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
       of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
       considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating
       results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not
       necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
       ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements should be read in
       conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
       notes included in the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K
       for the year ended December 31, 1995.

       Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with
       current period presentation.

<PAGE>
2.     BANK LINE OF CREDIT

       On March 29, 1996, the Operating Partnership replaced its secured
       revolving credit facility (the "Secured Facility") with a new, unsecured
       $100 million line of credit (the "Unsecured Facility"). The Unsecured
       Facility expires March 29, 1998. Interest on the outstanding balance is
       payable monthly at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.75%, or the
       prime rate, at the Operating Partnership's option. A fee on the unused
       portion of the Unsecured Facility is payable quarterly at a rate of 0.25%
       per annum. The outstanding balance at June 30, 1996 was $49.0 million,
       which approximates fair value. An additional $1.0 million of the
       Unsecured Facility was reserved for letters of credit issued to secure
       commitments to fund a traffic mitigation plan at a new center.

       The Unsecured Facility requires compliance with certain loan covenants
       relating to debt service coverage, tangible net worth, cash flow,
       earnings, occupancy rate, new development and dividends. The Operating
       Partnership has remained in compliance with these covenants since
       inception of the facility.

       Interest and loan costs of approximately $1.3 million and $2.5 million
       were capitalized as development costs during the three and six months
       ended June 30, 1996.

3.     NOTES PAYABLE

       In January 1996, the Operating Partnership completed a $100 million
       public debt offering of 7.75% unsecured notes due January 2001 (the
       "Notes"), which are guaranteed by the Company. The five-year non-callable
       Notes were priced at a discount of 99.952 to yield 7.85% to investors.
       Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay substantially all of
       the borrowings under the Secured Facility.

4.     DISTRIBUTIONS

       On June 13, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.575
       per unit cash distribution to unitholders of record on June 28, 1996. The
       distribution, totaling $9.9 million, was paid on July 22, 1996.

5.     INCOME TAXES

       No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying
       consolidated condensed financial statements since such taxes, if any, are
       the responsibility of the individual partners.

6.     NET INCOME PER PARTNERSHIP UNIT

       Net income per partnership unit is determined by allocating net income to
       the general partner and the limited partners based on their weighted
       average partnership units outstanding during the respective periods
       presented.

7.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       Management has determined that the foundation slab at one of its outlet
       centers was installed improperly and will require corrective action, the
       cost of which management estimates will be in excess of $1 million.
       Management believes such costs may be recoverable from the original
       contractor and/or engineers, and that any costs incurred by the Operating
       Partnership will not materially affect the financial position, operating
       results or liquidity of the Operating Partnership.

       The Operating Partnership is not presently involved in any material
       litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened
       against the Operating Partnership or its properties, other than routine
       litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management
       believes the costs, if any, incurred by the Operating Partnership related
       to this litigation will not materially affect the financial position,
       operating results or liquidity of the Operating Partnership.

8.     RELATED PARTY INFORMATION

       The Operating Partnership recognized lease settlement income of
       approximately $99,000 from a related party during the six months ended
       June 30, 1996. This amount is included in other income in the
       accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

9.     EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

       Deferred financing costs of $0.9 million related to the Secured Facility
       replaced in March 1996 have been written off and reflected in the
       accompanying financial statements as an extraordinary item.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These
financial statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to reflect a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The Operating Partnership has grown by increasing rent at its existing centers,
expanding its existing centers, developing new centers and acquiring and
redeveloping centers. The Operating Partnership operated 17 manufacturers'
outlet centers at June 30, 1996 and 1995:  the Operating Partnership sold its
smallest center, Page Factory Stores, in December, 1995, and opened a new
center, North Georgia Premium Outlets in May, 1996. The Operating Partnership's
operating gross leasable area (GLA) at June 30, 1996, increased 16.4% to 3.3
million square feet from 2.8 million square feet at June 30, 1995. The GLA added
since July 1, 1995 is detailed in the schedule that follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1996 to the three months ended
June 30, 1995.

Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item increased $0.7
million to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $7.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due
to increases in revenues offset by interest on borrowings and increases in
depreciation and amortization.

Base rentals increased $2.3 million, or 20.3%, to $13.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 from $11.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 1995 due to expansions, new center openings and higher average rents.

Percentage rents increased $0.1 million to $0.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.
The increase was primarily due to increases in tenant sales at the Operating
Partnership's larger centers and an increase in tenants contributing percentage
rents.

Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and
management expenses, increased $0.5 million, or 10.6%, to $5.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance costs at new and
expanded centers. The average recovery of reimbursable expenses was 94.0% in
1996 and 1995.

Other income increased $0.3 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
primarily as a result of increased interest and a lease termination settlement
in the 1996 period.

Interest in excess of amounts capitalized increased $1.2 million to $1.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $0.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 due to the opening of centers and expansions financed during
1995 and 1996.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $0.6 million, or 10.6%, to $6.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.5 million, or 19.0%, to $3.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $3.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million, or 10.5%, to $0.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $0.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to increased
personnel and overhead costs.

Other expenses remained flat at $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995.

<PAGE>
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1996 to the six months ended June
30, 1995.

Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item increased $0.8
million to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $14.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due
to increases in revenues offset by interest on borrowings and increases in
depreciation and amortization.

Base rentals increased $4.6 million, or 21.4%, to $26.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, from $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995, due to expansions, new center openings and higher average rents.

Percentage rents increased $0.6 million to $1.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase was primarily due to increases in tenant sales, expansions at the
Operating Partnership's larger centers and increases in tenants contributing
percentage rents.

Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and
management expenses, increased $1.7 million, or 17.7%, to $10.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 from $9.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1995, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance costs at new and
expanded centers. The average recovery of reimbursable expenses was 93.6% in
1996 compared to 95.1% in 1995.

Other income increased $0.3 million to $1.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase was primarily as a result of increased interest and lease termination
settlements in the 1996 period.

Interest in excess of amounts capitalized increased $2.6 million to $3.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $0.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 due to the opening of centers and expansions financed during
1995 and 1996.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $1.9 million, or 19.6%, to $11.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $9.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.6 million, or 29.2%, to $7.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

General and administrative expenses remained flat at $1.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. 

Other expenses increased $0.2 million to $1.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase included additional reserves for bad debts, legal fees and tenant
improvement write-offs.

In March 1996, the Operating Partnership replaced its Secured Facility. Deferred
financing costs of $0.9 million were expensed in connection with the early
retirement of the Secured Facility.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Operating Partnership believes it has adequate financial resources to fund
operating expenses, distributions and planned development and construction
activities. Operating cash flow during 1996 is expected to increase with a full
year of operations of the 606,000 square feet of GLA added during 1995 and
scheduled openings of approximately 675,000 square feet including two new
centers and expansions in 1996. In addition, at June 30, 1996 the Operating
Partnership had $50.0 million available under its Unsecured Facility, access to
the public markets through its debt ($100 million) and the Company's ($200
million) equity shelf registrations, and cash equivalents of $6.9 million.

Operating cash flow is expected to provide sufficient funds for distributions.
In addition, the Operating Partnership anticipates retaining sufficient
operating cash to fund re-tenanting and lease renewal tenant improvement costs,
as well as capital expenditures to maintain the quality of its centers.

Distributions declared and recorded during the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $19.7 million, or $0.575 per unit. The Operating Partnership's distribution
payout ratio as a percentage of net income before depreciation and amortization,
minority interest and extraordinary item ("FFO") was 92.0% during the six months
ended June 30, 1996. The Unsecured Facility limits aggregate distributions to
the lesser of (i) 90% of FFO on an annual basis or (ii) 100% of FFO for any two
consecutive quarters.

In January 1996, the Operating Partnership completed a $100 million public
offering of 7.75% unsecured notes due January 2001 (the "Notes"), which are
guaranteed by the Company. The five-year non-callable Notes were priced at a
discount of 99.592 to yield 7.85% to investors. Net proceeds from the offering
were used to repay substantially all borrowings under the Secured Facility.

In March 1996, the Operating Partnership replaced its Secured Facility with the
new $100 million Unsecured Facility. The Operating Partnership had $50.0 million
available for growth and liquidity at June 30, 1996. Interest on the outstanding
balance is payable monthly at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 1.75%, or the prime rate, at the Operating Partnership's option.
A fee on the unused portion of the Unsecured Facility is payable quarterly at a
rate of 0.25% per annum. The Unsecured Facility can be increased at any time up
to $200 million with the approval of the bank group.

The Operating Partnership is in the process of planning development for 1996,
1997 and beyond. North Georgia Premium Outlets Phase I, a new project containing
292,000 square feet of GLA, opened in May 1996. Another new center, Clinton
Crossing Premium Outlets, containing 271,000 square feet of GLA, is scheduled to
open in late August 1996, and approximately 85,000 square feet of expansions are
under construction and expected to open during the second half of 1996. The
Operating Partnership anticipates development and construction costs of $80
million to $100 million annually. Funding is currently expected from Unsecured
Facility borrowings and other available capital sources.

To achieve planned growth and favorable returns in both the short and long-term,
the Operating Partnership's financing strategy is to maintain a strong, flexible
financial position by: (i) maintaining a conservative level of leverage; (ii)
extending and sequencing debt maturity dates; (iii) managing exposure to
floating interest rates; and (iv) maintaining liquidity. Management believes
these strategies will enable the Operating Partnership to access a broad array
of capital sources, including bank or institutional borrowings and secured and
unsecured debt and equity offerings.

It is the Operating Partnership's policy to limit its borrowings to less than
40% of total market capitalization (defined as the value of outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis including conversion of
Operating Partnership units to common stock, plus total debt). Using a June 30,
1996 closing price of $31.75 per share of common stock of the Company, the
Operating Partnership's ratio of debt to total market capitalization was
approximately 21%.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.7 million and $16.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase was
primarily due to increased operations, decreases in accounts receivable and
increases in accrued interest on the Notes. Net cash used in investing
activities increased $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to 1995, primarily as a result of increased development activity. Net
cash provided by financing activities increased $4.5 million primarily due to
the issuance of the Notes, offset by repayment of the Secured Facility.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Management believes that, to facilitate a clear understanding of the operating
results of the Operating Partnership, FFO should be considered in conjunction
with net income as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Analysts generally consider FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an
equity real estate investment trust. FFO is generally defined by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income or loss
plus certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization. FFO should
not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating
performance or to cash from operations under generally accepted accounting
principles, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash
needs.

In March 1995, NAREIT issued a clarification of its definition of FFO. For
illustrative purposes, the following table presents the Operating Partnership's
FFO under both methods of calculation for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995.
