NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Description of Business

     Corporate  Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI") is a self managed  real
     estate  investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code  of
     1986, as amended.  On March 13, 1998, CPI, formerly a Massachusetts
     business  trust, reorganized into a corporation under the  laws  of
     the  State  of Delaware.  CPI engages in the ownership,  operation,
     management,  leasing,  acquisition, development  and  expansion  of
     income  producing properties located throughout the United  States.
     As  of  June  30, 1998, CPI owns interests in, directly or  through
     interests  in  joint  ventures,  23  super-regional  and   regional
     shopping  centers, The General Motors Building, N.Y.C.,  3  smaller
     office buildings and other properties.

     The  proportionate property revenues of CPI's lines of business for
     the  six  months  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997  are  summarized  as
     follows:
                                              June 30
                                         1998          1997
     Super-regional and
      regional shopping centers            80%           78%
     General Motors Building               17            18
     Other office buildings                 2             3
     Other                                  1             1
                                          100%          100%

     CPI  shareholders, in proportion to their respective number of  CPI
     shares,  own  the  beneficial interests  in  the  Corporate  Realty
     Consultants,  Inc. ("CRC") Trusts, in which all of the  outstanding
     shares of CRC have been deposited.  Ownership of CRC shares is  not
     evidenced by a separate stock certificate and cannot be transferred
     separately from the corresponding CPI shares.  All directors of CRC
     must  be directors of CPI and the senior executive officers of  CPI
     are  also  officers  of CRC.  The foregoing arrangements  create  a
     "Paired-Share REIT" structure for federal income tax purposes.
     
     On  February 19, 1998 CPI and CRC signed a definitive agreement  to
     merge  with Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. which is described in  note
     (1) of the Commitments, Contingencies and Other Comments footnote.

     Basis of Presentation

     The  accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements  have
     been  prepared  in  accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  for  interim financial information and  in  conjunction
     with  the  rules  and  regulations of the Securities  and  Exchange
     Commission.   Accordingly,  they  do  not  include   all   of   the
     disclosures  required  by generally accepted accounting  principles
     for  complete financial statements.  In the opinion of  management,
     all  adjustments  (consisting solely of normal  recurring  matters)
     necessary  for  a  fair presentation of the consolidated  financial
     statements  for  these  interim periods have  been  included.   The
     results  for the three month and six month periods ended  June  30,
     1998  are  not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained
     for  the  year ended December 31, 1998. These financial  statements
     should  be  read  in  conjunction with the  consolidated  financial
     statements  and  accompanying notes included in CPI's  registration
     statement on Form S-4 dated August 13, 1998.
==========================================================================

     The  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of  CPI
     and   its   consolidated  subsidiaries.   Significant  intercompany
     balances,    transactions   and   accounts   are   eliminated    in
     consolidation.   Investments in real estate  joint  ventures  which
     represent  non-controlling ownership interests  are  accounted  for
     using the equity method of accounting.
     
     Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures

     CPI has a 50% interest in seven real estate joint ventures each  of
     which  own  and  operate a shopping center.  CPI  also  has  a  50%
     interest  in  Mall  of Georgia, L.L.C., a joint  venture  which  is
     developing  a super-regional shopping center in Georgia.   CPI  has
     guaranteed the joint venture's $200 million loan in exchange for  a
     priority  distribution (see "Commitments, Contingencies  and  Other
     Comments").  Generally, net income/(loss) for each joint venture is
     allocated  consistent  with the ownership interests  held  by  each
     joint venturer.
     
     As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the unamortized excess of
     CPI's investment over its share of the equity in the underlying net
     assets  of  the joint ventures was approximately $42.0 million  and
     $42.4  million,  respectively.  This excess is amortized  over  the
     estimated  lives  of the related real estate assets.  The  combined
     condensed balance sheets of the real estate joint ventures,  as  of
     June  30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the related statements  of
     net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 follows:

     Income Per Common Share

     In  February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board  issued
     Statement  No. 128, "Earnings per Share."  Statement  128  replaced
     the  calculation  of primary and fully diluted earnings  per  share
     with  basic  and  diluted earnings per share.  Basic  earnings  per
     share  excludes  any  dilutive effects  of  options,  warrants  and
     convertible  securities.  All earnings per share  amounts  for  all
     periods   have   been  presented  to  conform  to   Statement   128
     requirements.   The following table sets forth the  computation  of
     basic  and  diluted earnings per common share for  the  six  months
     ended June 30, 1998 and 1997:

      Diluted earnings per share          $   4.49             $   6.83

     The  above  computations  are based upon the  dilutive  effects  of
     agreements presently in effect. The basis for such computations  is
     anticipated to change in the event the merger with Simon  DeBartolo
     Group,  Inc. (See "Commitments, Contingencies and other  Comments")
     is closed.

     New Accounting Pronouncements

     On  May  21, 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the  Financial
     Accounting  Standards  Board reached a  final  consensus  regarding
     Issue  98-9,  "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim  Financial
     Periods" (EITF 98-9).  The final consensus requires that the lessor
     defer  recognition  of contingent rental income,  such  as  overage
     rent,  until specified targets are met and amounts become  billable
     to tenants. Although this consensus will not have a material effect
     on  CPI's annual results, it is anticipated to impact the amount of
     overage rent recognized in the first three quarters of the calendar
     year.   CPI  adopted the consensus reached in EITF 98-9 during  the
     second  quarter of 1998 which had the effect of reducing net income
     by  $3.3  million ($.13 per Common Share) for the six months  ended
     June  30,  1998.   Had  this been applied  to  the  1997  financial
     statements  it  would  have resulted in a $2.3  million  ($.09  per
     Common Share) decrease to net income for the six months ended  June
     30, 1997.

     In  June  1997,  the  Financial Accounting Standards  Board  issued
     Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
     Related Information," which is effective for fiscal years beginning
     after  December 15, 1997.  CPI intends to implement  the  operating
     and  reportable  segment rules in its year-end,  audited  financial
     statements.
     
     Reclassifications

     Certain  reclassifications have been made  to  the  June  30,  1997
     financial statements to conform to the presentation for the  period
     ended  June  30, 1998.  These reclassifications have no significant
     impact on CPI's financial statements.
     
     Acquisitions and Dispositions

     On  December 31, 1996 and January 2, 1997, respectively, CPI, at  a
     cost  of $198 million and $145 million, respectively, redeemed 1.51
     million  and  1.09  million Series A Common  Shares  (and  acquired
     related  interests in CRC) held by a shareholder  in  exchange  for
     cash  of  $13  million  and  interests  in  three  shopping  center
     properties valued at $330 million.  The exchanges resulted in  gain
     on  disposition of the properties of $186.7 million, of which $71.7
     million  was  recognized  in December 1996  and  $115  million  was
     recognized in January 1997.

     On  January 9, 1998, CPI purchased a super-regional shopping center
     and  adjoining  land parcels located in Atlanta, Georgia  for  $198
     million.   Approximately $40 million was borrowed under a revolving
     credit facility to partially fund the purchase.

     On  January 30, 1998, CPI sold a super-regional shopping center for
     $81  million and recorded a gain on sale of $43 million.   Proceeds
     from the sale were used to repay the aforementioned borrowing under
     the revolving credit facility.

Commitments, Contingencies and Other Comments

     (1)  On February 19, 1998 CPI and CRC signed a definitive agreement to
          merge with Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. ("SDG"); a publicly-traded real
          estate investment trust.   In connection therewith, on August 13, 1998
          CPI and CRC filed a registration statement on Form S-4, which included
          the prospectus for CPI and CRC and the proxy statement for SDG, with 
          the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Merger has been approved
          by all companies' Boards of Directors/Trustees.  A majority of CPI's
          shareholders have agreed to approve the transaction which is subject 
          to the approval of the shareholders of SDG, as well as customary 
          regulatory and other conditions.  The CPI and SDG shareholders' 
          meetings to vote on the merger are scheduled for September 23, 1998.  
          The transaction is expected to be completed soon thereafter, between 
          September 24 and September 30, 1998 (the "Effective Time").  As of the
          Effective Time, a substantially wholly owned subsidiary of CPI will 
          merge with and into SDG as stipulated in the merger agreement and 
          discussed in the registration statement.  CPI will then be renamed 
          Simon Property Group Inc. ("SPG") and CRC will be renamed SPG Realty 
          Consultants, Inc. The Board of Directors of SPG will consist of 13 
          directors which will include three directors designated by CPI and the
          officers of SPG and SPG Realty Consultants, Inc. shall include two
          present officers of CPI and CRC.
          
          As  of February 18 the transaction values CPI at approximately
          $5.8  billion,  including the assumption of  debt.   Each  CPI
          common  share will be entitled to $90 in cash, 2.0818  in  the
          combined REIT's common stock and $19 of liquidation preference
          in  6 1/2% convertible preferred stock of the combined REIT.  The
          common  stock component of the consideration is based  upon  a
          fixed  exchange ratio of 2.0818 combined REIT  shares  and  is
          subject  to a 15% symmetrical collar based upon the  price  of
          SDG  common stock determined in a period ending shortly before
          closing.  Adjustments related to such collar will be in cash.

          It  is  anticipated  that  on the day  prior  to  the  Merger,
          substantially  all  of  CPI's assets will  be  transferred  to
          Retail  Properties Trust  ("RPT"), a REIT substantially  owned
          by  the  SDG  Operating Partnership.  RPT  will  assume  CPI's
          obligations  under  the  Notes.  SDG  and  CPI  have  received
          inquiries  from  certain note holders as to  the  means  being
          utilized  to  effect compliance with the  terms  of  the  note
          indentures  in  connection with the Merger.  Certain  of  such
          holders  have  expressed their view that they do  not  believe
          compliance may be effected without receiving waivers from  the
          requisite percentage of CPI's noteholders. CPI and SDG believe
          that   the  assignment  of  CPI's  assets  to  RPT  and  RPT's
          assumption  of  CPI's  liabilities  fully  complies  with  the
          provisions of the Note Indentures.

          In  the  first  six months of 1998 CPI incurred  approximately
          $11.6  million of merger-related costs, principally legal  and
          advisory   fees,  which  are  included  in  the   accompanying
          statements  of  income.  If the merger is effected  additional
          merger  costs, including severance payments pursuant to  CPI's
          present  policies,  professional fees  and  other  transaction
          costs,  payable  by CPI or its successor are projected  to  be
          approximately $71 million.

     (2)  CPI  sold the General Motors Building, New York City  on  July
          31,  1998 for $800 million in cash and realized at a  gain  of
          $204  million  ($8.05 per Common Share).  CPI  has  agreed  in
          principle  to  sell the Rockaway Office Building in  Rockaway,
          New  Jersey  for  $6.8 million.  Such sale is  anticipated  to
          close  sometime in the third quarter of 1998.  The  sale  will
          result in an estimated gain of approximately $2 million  ($.08
          per Common Share).

          The  combined  carrying amount of the General Motors  Building
          and the Rockaway Office Building of $590 million is separately
          classified   in the June 30, 1998 consolidated balance  sheet.
          CPI  ceased recording depreciation on these properties on  the
          date they became properties held for sale. Rentals and related
          property  income and net income from these properties included
          in  the  consolidated statements of income are  summarized  as
          follows:

          Net income                         $22,882     $15,739

     (3)  CPI  has  entered  into  commitments for  future  real  estate
          investments  aggregating approximately $138 million  and  $122
          million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.
     
     (4)  CPI is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary
          course of business.  In the opinion of management, based  upon
          the  advice  of both outside and corporate counsel,  resolving
          these  actions  will  not have a material  effect  upon  CPI's
          financial condition.

     (5)  On   August   6,   1998,  the  CPI  Directors  declared:   (i)
          distributions  ($49.1 million) of $1.94 per  common  share  to
          shareholders of record at the close of business on August  14,
          1998,  payable  August 17, 1998; (ii) in accordance  with  the
          terms   of  the  Merger  Agreement  a  per  share,  per   diem
          distribution  of  $.0213  from and  including  July  1,  1998,
          through the date of the  Merger, payable on the Effective Date
          of  the  Merger to shareholders of record as of the  close  of
          business the day prior to the Effective Date of the Merger and
          (iii)  subject to the earning of sufficient cash flow for  the
          six  month period ending September 30, 1998, $32.76  per  6.5%
          First  Series  Perpetual Preference Share to  shareholders  of
          record  at  the close of business September 15, 1998,  payable
          September 30, 1998.
==========================================================================

      (6) On August 6, 1998, the Directors of CRC declared distributions
          ($.27  million)  of  $.10  per  CRC  common  share  (which  is
          equivalent to 1 cent per CPI common share) to shareholders  of
          record  at  the close of business on August 14, 1998,  payable
          August  17,  1998  and, in accordance with the  terms  of  the
          Merger  Agreement, the Directors of CRC declared a per  share,
          per diem distribution of $.0011 (which is equivalent to $.0001
          per CPI common share) from and including July 1, 1998, through
          the  date of the  Merger, payable on the Effective Date of the
          Merger  to shareholders of record as of the close of  business
          the day prior to the Effective Date of the Merger.
     
     (7)  CPI   has  agreed  to  fully  guarantee  the  payment  of  all
          installments of interest and principal on a $200 million  loan
          dated  June 30, 1998 between Mall of Georgia, L.L.C., a  joint
          venture  developing a super-regional shopping center in  which
          CPI  has  a  50% interest, and Teachers Insurance and  Annuity
          Association of America and the Prudential Insurance Company of
          America (the
          "Guaranty").   CPI  has  further  guaranteed  the  lien   free
          completion of construction of the improvements, as defined, on
          the  Mall of Georgia site.  In exchange for the Guaranty,  CPI
          receives a priority distribution from the joint venture  equal
          to  the  excess of 9% on the guaranteed loan balance over  the
          actual interest accrued on the loan, such interest accruing at
          7.09% per annum.  Prior to December 31, 2002, CPI can fully or
          partially  be released from the Guaranty if certain conditions
          are  met as defined in the Guaranty agreement.  As of June 30,
          1998,  $71  million  has  been  drawn  down  under  the   loan
          agreement.  CPI has not accrued a liability at June  30,  1998
          as  no  events  have occurred, or are probable  of  occurring,
          which would require funding of the guaranteed payments.
     
     (8)  CPI has entered into a $250 million revolving credit agreement
          with  13  banks. The agreement terminates on June 26, 2001,but
          is  anticipated  to be terminated at the time of  the  Merger.
          Interest,  at  CPI's  choice,  is  computed  at  (1)  a   rate
          determined by a competitive bidding process, (2) a rate  equal
          to   a  spread  (currently  5/8%)  over  the  adjusted  London
          interbank  (LIBOR)  rate  or (3) a  rate  equal  to  a  spread
          (currently 0%) over the higher of the prime
          rate  or 1/2% over the Federal Funds rate.  The interest  rate
          on  each  LIBOR-based  borrowing  is  fixed  at  the  time  of
          borrowing.   As of June 30, 1998, $13 million was  outstanding
          pursuant  to  this  agreement.  Such outstanding  balance  was
          repaid in July 1998.

     the  Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and  for

     The  pro  forma combined condensed Balance Sheet as of June  30,  1998  is
     presented  as  if  (i) the CPI Merger Dividends and  the  Merger  of  SDG,

     Consultants,   Inc.,  ("CRC")  and  cash  contributed  by  the   Operating
     Partnership to CRC and CRC's newly formed operating partnership on  behalf
     of  the SDG stockholders and limited partners of the Operating Partnership
     and  the  transfer of substantially all of the assets and  liabilities  of
     CPI,  other  than assets valued at $153.1 million including  Ocean  County
     Mall valued at $145.8 million, to the Operating Partnership or one or more
     of  its subsidiaries in exchange for Operating Partnership Units and, (ii)
     the sale by CPI of the General Motors Building had occurred as of June 30,
     1998.   The pro forma combined condensed Statement of Operations  for  the
     six  months ended June 30, 1998 and for the year ended December 31,  1997,
     are  presented as if (i) the CPI Merger Dividends and the Merger  of  SDG,
     CPI  and CRC and cash contributed by the Operating Partnership to CRC  and
     CRC's newly formed operating partnership on behalf of the SDG stockholders
     and  limited  partners of the Operating Partnership and  the  transfer  of
     substantially all of the assets and liabilities of CPI, other than  assets
     valued  at  $153.1  million including Ocean County Mall valued  at  $145.8
     million,  to  the Operating Partnership or one or more of its subsidiaries
     in  exchange  for  Operating Partnership Units,  (ii)  the  September  and
     November 1997 transactions by SDG to acquire ten portfolio properties  and
     a  50%  ownership interest in an eleventh  property of The Realty Property

     collectively, the "Other Property Transactions").
     
          Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on
     assumptions deemed appropriate by  management.  These assumptions give
     effect to the Merger being accounted for as a reverse purchase in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles resulting in the
     assets and liabilities of CPI transferred to the Operating Partnership
     being reflected in the accompanying pro forma financial statements at fair
     value.  The cash contributed by the Operating Partnership on behalf of its
     partners to CRC and the CRC Operating Partnership is being reflected as a
     distribution.  The pro forma financial information has been modified to
     reflect revised assumptions based upon the completion of the Merger and
     related transactions in September 1998.  The pro forma financial
     information is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually
     would have occurred if the transactions had been consummated at the
     beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to represent the
     future financial position and results of operations for future periods.
     The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the
     historical financial statements of the Operating Partnership and CPI.

     Simon  Property  Group,  LP -- Notes and Management's  Assumptions  to  Pro
     Forma  Combined Condensed Financial Information (in thousands, except share
     and per share amounts, unaudited)
     
     1.  Basis of Presentation
     
          Simon DeBartolo Group, LP (the Operating Partnership) is a subsidiary
     partnership of Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. ("SDG or the Company"). The
     Operating Partnership is engaged primarily in the ownership, development,
     management, leasing, acquisition and expansion of income-producing
     properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers. The
     Company is a self administered and self managed real estate investment
     trust (`REIT') under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  At
     June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership owned or had an interest in 216
     properties.
     
          In February 1998, SDG, CPI and CRC entered into a Merger Agreement,
     which provides for the Merger of a substantially wholly owned subsidiary
     of CPI with and into SDG. Legally, SDG will become a majority-owned
     subsidiary of CPI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the outstanding
     shares of SDG Common Stock will be exchanged for like shares of CPI.
     Beneficial interests in CRC will be acquired for cash. CPI's name will be
     changed to Simon Property Group, Inc. (SPG).  In connection with the
     Merger, the holders of CPI Common Stock will receive a dividend per share
     consisting of $90 in cash, 1.0818 shares of CPI Common Stock and 0.19
     shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of CPI. The aggregate
     purchase price is estimated by SDG to be approximately $5.9 billion.  The
     Merger and related transactions were completed in September 1998.
     
          CPI is a self-administered and self-managed privately held REIT which
     invests in income-producing properties. At June 30, 1998, CPI owned or
     held interests in 30 properties, 23 shopping centers and seven commercial
     properties. CRC is engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition and
     development of income producing properties directly or through interests
     in joint ventures and other non-REIT qualifying activities.
     
          SPG will account for the Merger between SDG and the CPI merger
     subsidiary as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Accounting
     Principles Board Opinion No. 16. Although SPG Equity Stock will be issued
     to SDG stockholders and SDG will become a substantially wholly owned
     subsidiary of SPG following the Merger, CPI is considered the business
     acquired for accounting purposes. SDG is the acquiring company because the
     SDG stockholders will represent in excess of a majority of the
     stockholders of SPG. The fair market value of the consideration given by
     the acquiring company will be used as the valuation basis for the
     combination of SDG and CPI. The assets and liabilities of CPI will be
     revalued by SDG to their respective fair market values at the Effective
     Time.  In connection with the Merger, SPG will transfer substantially all
     the assets and liabilities of CPI other than assets valued at $153.1
     million including Ocean County Mall valued at $145.8 million, to the
     Operating Partnership or one or more of its subsidiaries in exchange for
     Operating Partnership Units.  The assets and liabilities transferred will
     be reflected by the Operating Partnership at fair market value.  The
     Operating Partnership will also change its name from Simon DeBartolo
     Group, LP to Simon Property Group, LP (SPG,LP).
     
          Further in connection with the Merger the Operating Partnership will
     contribute cash to CRC and the newly formed SRC Operating Partnership on
     behalf of the SDG stockholders and the limited partners of the Operating
     Partnership to obtain the beneficial interests in CRC which will be paired
     with the shares to be issued by SPG and to obtain units in the SRC
     Operating Partnership so that the limited partners of the SDG Operating
     Partnership will hold the same proportionate interest in the SRC Operating
     Partnership as they hold in the Operating Partnership at the Effective
     Time of the Merger. The cash contributed on behalf of its partners by the
     Operating Partnership to CRC and the CRC Operating Partnership is being
     reflected by the Operating Partnership as a distribution.  CRC and the SRC
     Operating Partnership will also be renamed as SPG Realty Consultants, Inc.
     and SPG Realty Consultants, LP, respectively.
     
          In addition to the Merger and related transactions, the following
     transactions (the "Other Property Transactions") have been reflected in
     the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements using the
     purchase method of accounting. Investments in non-controlled joint
     ventures are reflected using the equity method. Controlled properties have
     been consolidated.
     
     
       *   On September 29, 1997, SDG completed its cash tender offer for all
           of the outstanding shares of beneficial interests of The Retail
           Property Trust ("RPT").  In connection therewith, RPT became a
           subsidiary of the Operating Partnership.  RPT owned 98.8% of
           Shopping Center Associates ("SCA"), which owned or had interests in
           twelve regional malls and one community shopping center.  Following
           the completion of the tender offer, the SCA portfolio was
           restructured.  SDG exchanged its 50% interest in two SCA properties
           with a third party for similar interests in two other SCA
           properties, in which SDG had 50% interests, with the result that SCA
           now owns interest in a total of eleven properties.  Effective
           November 30, 1997, SDG also acquired the remaining interest in
           another of the SCA properties.  In addition, SDG acquired the
           remaining 1.2% interest in SCA.  At the completion of these
           transactions, SDG held a 100% interest in ten of the eleven
           properties, and a noncontrolling 50% ownership interest in the
           remaining property.  The total cost for the acquisition of RPT and
           related transactions was approximately $1,300,000, which includes
           SDG common stock issued valued at approximately $50,000, units of
           the Operating Partnership valued at approximately $25,300, and the
           assumption of consolidated debt and SDG's pro rata share of joint
           venture indebtedness of approximately $475,300.  The balance of the
           transaction costs was borrowed under the Operating Partnership's
           credit facility.
==========================================================================
      <Page F-16> 
       *   On December 29, 1997, the Operating Partnership completed the
           acquisition of the Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing, a
           regional mall located in Indianapolis, Indiana, for $124,500.  The
           purchase price was financed by additional borrowings under the
           Operating Partnership's credit facility of approximately $59,700 and
           the assumption of approximately $64,800 in mortgage debt.  The
           mortgage debt bears interest at 7.85%.
       
       *   In January 1998, CPI acquired Phipps Plaza, a super regional mall
           located in Atlanta, Georgia, for approximately $198,800. The
           transaction was financed with cash of $158,800 and debt of $40,000.
       
       *   In January 1998, CPI sold one of its shopping centers (Burnsville
           Mall) for $80,672 cash. The selling price exceeded Burnsville Mall's
           historical net assets of $37,581 at December 31, 1997, by $43,091. A
           portion ($40,000) of the proceeds received in the Burnsville
           transaction was used to repay the amount borrowed in connection with
           the acquisition of Phipps Plaza.
       
       *   In January 1998, the Operating Partnership acquired Cordova Mall, a
           regional mall in Pensacola, Florida, for $94,000. This acquisition
           was financed by issuing units of the Operating Partnership valued at
           $55,523, the assumption of mortgage debt of $28,935 and other
           liabilities of $6,842 and cash of $2,700. The mortgage debt, which
           bore interest at 12.125%, has been refinanced through the Operating
           Partnership's credit facility.
       
       *   In February 1998, the Operating Partnership, through a joint venture
           with another REIT, acquired an interest in a portfolio of twelve
           regional malls comprising approximately 10.7 million square feet of
           GLA. The Operating Partnership's non-controlling 50% share of the
           total purchase price of $487,250 was financed with a $242,000
           unsecured loan which bears interest at 6.4% per annum, accrued
           payables of $2,750 and the assumption of $242,500 of mortgage debt.
           The weighted average interest rate on the mortgage debt assumed was
           6.94%.
       
       *   In July 1998, CPI sold the General Motors Building for $800,000.
           The net proceeds of $798,000 were used to pay off the building's
           mortgage balance ($10,706) with the remainder available to partially
           finance a portion of the CPI Merger Dividends.  CPI paid a
           commission to SDG totaling $2.5 million for services rendered by SDG
           in connection with the sale of the General Motors Building.  This
           commission has not been reflected in the accompanying pro forma
           financial information.
     
          The accompanying pro forma combined condensed Balance Sheet of the
     Operating Partnership was prepared by management as if the Merger and
     related transactions and the Other Property Transactions described above
     which occurred subsequent to June 30, 1998, had occurred as of June 30,
     1998. The accompanying pro forma combined condensed Statements of
     Operations were prepared by management as if the Merger and the Other
     Property Transactions previously described had occurred on January 1,
     1997. Certain reclassifications have been made in CPI's historical
     financial statements to conform them to the Operating Partnership's
     historical presentation and certain reclassifications have been made in
     each entities' historical financial statements to conform them to the
     condensed combined pro forma presentation.
     
          These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
     with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the
     Operating Partnership, and CPI. In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the Merger and related
     transactions and the Other Property Transactions previously described have
     been made. Certain adjustments have been estimated by management based on
     information currently available. Final adjustments are not expected by
     management to materially impact the pro forma results reported.
     
          The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of
     the actual financial position at June 30, 1998, or what the actual results
     of operations would have been assuming the Merger and the Other Property
     Transactions had been completed as of January 1, 1997, nor are they
     indicative of the results of operations for future periods.
     
     2.   Pro Forma Adjustments  to the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance
     Sheet
     
     (A)  Certain reclassifications have been made to the Operating Partnership
          and CPI historical balance sheets to conform to the pro forma combined
          condensed balance sheet presentation.
     
     (B)  Adjustments to reflect the sale of the General Motors Building for
          $800,000, and $2,000 of transaction costs, resulting in net proceeds
          of $798,000.  The historical carrying value of the building and
          improvements was $586,000 at June 30, 1998. A portion of the net
          proceeds of $798,000 was used to pay off the building's mortgage
          balance ($10,708) yielding net cash of $787,292 as of June 30, 1998.

     (C)  Determination of the Purchase Price of CPI:
     
          As described in the Merger Agreement the stockholders of CPI will
          receive consideration in the Merger aggregating approximately $179
          for each share of CPI common stock. The $179 consideration, as
          defined in the Merger Agreement, includes a $90 cash dividend,
          approximately $70 of value of SPG common stock and approximately $19
          of value of SPG 6.5% Series B Preferred Stock.  The fair value of the
          Series B Preferred Stock was estimated at $17.67.       The common
          stock component of the Merger consideration is based upon a fixed
          exchange ratio using SDG's February 18, 1998 closing price of $33 5/8
          per share and is subject to a 15% symmetrical collar based upon the
          average closing price of SDG's common stock for the twenty days prior
          to the fifth trading day prior to closing. In the event SDG's stock
          price is outside the collar, an adjustment will be made in the cash
          dividend component of CPI Merger Dividends which will be increased or
          reduced by an amount equal to 2.0818 times the amount the SDG stock
          price at the measurement date falls outside the collar.  During the
          twenty day period prior to the fifth trading day before closing of
          the transaction in September 1998, the SDG stock price fell within
          the collar therefore no adjustment to the merger consideration is
          necessary.
          
          As of June 30, 1998, there were 25,330,409 shares of CPI common stock
          outstanding.  As of June 30, 1998, there were approximately 807,000
          exercisable options. As a result of the Merger, the CPI optionholders
          could either:  exercise the option immediately prior to the Merger,
          exchange the option in a cash-less manner for cash equal to the
          appreciated value of the underlying shares, or exchange the option
          for SPG options adjusted to reflect the Merger Consideration.  Of the
          options outstanding as of June 30, 1998, 166,067 were exercised,
          583,433 were exchanged for cash in the amount of $25,163 and  57,146
          were exchanged for 304,192 SPG options.  Accordingly, 25,496,476
          shares were assumed to be outstanding (which includes 166,067 shares
          issued upon exercise of options) in the accompanying pro forma
          financial statements.
          
          The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will remain outstanding
          after the completion of the Merger. The 209,249 shares of Series A
          Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 1,505,000 shares of
          CPI common stock pre-Merger.  The fair value of the Series A
          Convertible Preferred Stock is being estimated by determining the
          value of the Merger consideration the Series A holder could have
          obtained if the preferred stock had been converted into CPI common
          stock of $267,393 (1,505,000 shares multiplied by the estimated fair
          value of the Merger consideration of $177.67).  Upon the transfer of
          substantially all of the assets and liabilities of CPI to the
          Operating Partnership, regular and preferred units will be issued.
          The preferred units will carry provisions which mirror the Series A
          and B preferred stock.

                                                                As of

  Partnership  on behalf of the SDG stockholders ($14,000) and the  limited
  partners of the Operating Partnership ($8,000) to obtain beneficial interests
  in CRC to be paired with shares of common stock issued by SPG and to obtain
  units in the CRC Operating Partnership whereby the limited partners of the
  Operating Partnership will hold the same proportionate interest in the CRC
  Operating Partnership as they hold in the Operating Partnership. The amount of
  cash is based on a preliminary estimate of the fair value of the net assets of
  CRC.  At  the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of CRC will  make  a
  determination  of  the fair market value of CRC's net assets  based  upon
  information then available. Management does not expect that the final amount
  will differ materially from the preliminary estimates.  The cash
  contributed by the Operating Partnership has been reflected as a 
  distribution.
