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:

     ($ in thousands, except per share data)  1998                 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.

     collectively, the "Other Property Transactions").
     
          Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on

     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 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.
     
           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.
     
           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  certain  liabilities
         ($4,000)  and  the  building's  mortgage  balance  ($10,706)  with  the
         remainder  available to partially finance a portion of the  CPI  Merger
         Dividends.
     
           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
     Operation  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 certain liabilities ($4,000)
          and the building's mortgage balance ($10,708) yielding net cash of
          $783,292 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 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
          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 price of SDG's common stock determined on 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. 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.  The
          following  recap of the Merger consideration assumes the  options  are
          exercised,  therefore, 26,137,409 shares are assumed to be outstanding
          as  if  the  Merger  occurred on June 30, 1998. CPI  has  invited  the
          option  holders  to  exchange their options  for  cash  equal  to  the
          difference  between the fair market value of the merger  consideration
          and  the  exercise price of the options.  To the extent this  exchange
          occurs,  it  would  not  have a material impact  on  the  accompanying
          combined  condensed  pro  forma financial information.  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.  In  connection with the  Merger,  they  have  been
          valued  by multiplying the per-share Merger consideration of  $179  by
          the  number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion. At the
          Effective  Time,  the  Series A Convertible Preferred  Stock  will  be
          convertible  into  7,950,492  shares of SPG Common  Stock.   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
                                                        June 30, 1998
