ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
   
     Bradley Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") is the
entity through which Bradley Real Estate, Inc. (the "Company"), a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"),
conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through
subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. The Operating Partnership is an
owner of grocery-anchored, open-air neighborhood and community shopping centers
and is engaged in the business of acquiring, and actively managing and leasing
such properties.
    
 
RISK FACTORS
 
  General
 
   
     As in every business, there are risk factors that affect the Operating
Partnership and its operations. By setting forth below some of the factors that
could cause the actual results of the Operating Partnership's operations or
plans to differ materially from the expectations set forth elsewhere in this
Registration Statement.
    
 
   
  Risk of Refinancing Existing Indebtedness on Unfavorable Terms; Interest Rate
Risk; No Limitation on Debt in Organizational Documents
    
 
   
     As described below in "-- The REMIC Note and Other Indebtedness", $100
million of indebtedness represented by the REMIC Note matures in September 2000.
Although the investment grade corporate rating recently assigned to the
Operating Partnership by Standard & Poor's is expected to assist the Operating
Partnership in refinancing such indebtedness at maturity or sooner, there can be
no assurance that the cost of replacement indebtedness (including any penalty
that may be payable upon the prepayment of the REMIC Note) may not be greater
than the cost of the existing indebtedness. The fact that the Operating Company
will continue to be obligated on a substantial amount of debt, even if only a
relatively small portion of such debt is secured, subjects the Operating
Partnership to risks of default if it is unable to pay such debt at maturity,
and may require the sale or mortgaging of properties of the Operating
Partnership at an inconvenient time or on terms that are adverse to the
Operating Partnership.
    
 
     To the extent that the Operating Partnership is responsible for floating
rate debt (such as that incurred under the revolving line of credit) and to the
extent that its exposure to increases in interest rates is not eliminated
through interest rate protection or cap agreements, such increases will
adversely affect the Operating Partnership's net income and cash available for
distribution and may affect the amount of distributions it can make to the
holders of Units, including the Company.
 
   
     The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the
"Charter") and the Bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws") and the Second Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership do not contain any
limitation on the amount of indebtedness the Company or the Operating
Partnership may incur. Although management attempts to maintain a balance
between total outstanding indebtedness and the total market capitalization of
the Company (i.e., a ratio of debt to total market capitalization of 50% or
less), there can be no assurance that management will not alter this balance at
any time, or that a significant decline in the trading value of the Company's
Common Stock will not change such balance. Accordingly, the Operating
Partnership could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt
service that could adversely affect the Operating Partnership's ability to make
expected distributions to holders of LP Units and in an increased risk of
default on its obligations under any outstanding indebtedness. Failure to pay
its debt obligations when due could also result in the Operating Partnership
losing its interest in any properties that secure indebtedness included within
such obligations.
    
 
   
  Impact on Debt Securities of Highly Leveraged Transaction or Change in Control
    
 
   
     Unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture, the indentures under
which Debt Securities will be issued do not contain any provisions that would
limit the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur indebtedness or protect
holders of Debt Securities against adverse effects on the creditworthiness of
the Debt Securities in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or change in
control (through the acquisition of securities, the election of directors or
otherwise) involving the Operating Partnership or the Company. Accordingly,
there can be no
    
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   4
 
   
assurance that the Operating Partnership will not enter into such a transaction
and thereby adversely affect the Operating Partnership's ability to meet its
obligations under the Debt Securities.
    
 
   
  Potential Environmental Liabilities
    
 
     Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an
owner of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in such property. Such laws often
impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The
presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such
substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such
property or to use such property as collateral in its borrowings. All of the
Operating Partnership's Properties, including those acquired in the Tucker
Acquisition, have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits
(which involve inspection without soil sampling or ground water analysis) by
independent environmental consultants. Except as described below, these
environmental audit reports have not revealed any potential significant
environmental liability, nor is management aware of any environmental liability
with respect to the properties that it believes would have a material adverse
effect on the Operating Partnership's business, assets or results of operations.
No assurance can be given that existing environmental studies with respect to
the properties reveal all environmental liabilities or that any prior owner of
any such property did not create any material environmental condition not known
to management.
 
     Phase II site assessments of the Commons of Chicago Ridge property acquired
from Tucker have disclosed the presence of contaminants in fill material and
soil at the Property that could be associated with the Property's former use as
a landfill and as the former site of an asphalt plant and storage tanks for
petroleum products (which storage tanks have been removed from the Property),
but not at such levels as would require reporting to environmental agencies.
These Phase II site assessments also disclosed the presence in groundwater of
contaminants similar to those detected in the soil samples. Environmental
assessments of the Property have also detected methane gas, probably associated
with the former use of the Property as landfill. A regular maintenance program
was implemented by Tucker and is being continued by the Operating Partnership to
control the migration and effect of the methane gas. There can be no assurance
that an environmental regulatory agency such as the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency will not in the future require further investigation to
determine the source and vertical and horizontal extent of the contamination. If
any such investigation is required and confirms the existence of contaminants at
the levels disclosed in the Phase II site assessments, it is possible that the
relevant agency could require the Operating Partnership to take action to
address the contamination, which action could range from ongoing monitoring to
remediation of the contamination. Based on the information currently available,
management does not believe that the cost of responding to such contamination
would be material to the Operating Partnership.
 
     In connection with the execution of the merger agreement relating to the
Tucker Acquisition, the Operating Partnership and certain individuals who had
previously provided a limited indemnity to Tucker for environmental liabilities
at Commons of Chicago Ridge (the "Individuals") agreed to indemnify the Company,
Operating Partnership and its affiliates against all claims, losses, costs and
expenses incurred by such parties arising out of any administrative, regulatory
or judicial action, suit, investigation or proceeding in connection with any
applicable environmental health or safety law regarding hazardous substances,
materials, wastes or petroleum products, or any common law right of action
regarding such substances, materials, wastes or products, whether brought by a
governmental or regulatory authority or by a third party, that is initiated on
or before October 4, 2003, with respect to conditions or acts at the Commons of
Chicago Ridge which existed prior to October 4, 1993. In connection with this
indemnification obligation, the Operating Partnership has agreed to keep the
Individuals reasonably informed of various activities relating to the Property
and to consult with the Individuals with respect to any potential claims,
settlements and remediation which could trigger the indemnification obligations
of the Individuals. There can be no assurance that the Individuals will be in a
position to honor their indemnity obligations. Regardless of such
indemnification, based on the information currently available, management does
not believe that the environmental liabilities and expenses relating to the
Commons of Chicago Ridge property would have a material effect on the liquidity,
financial condition or operating results of the Operating Partnership.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   5
 
   
  Risks of Dependence on Midwestern Region and Retail Industry
    
 
     Substantially all of the Operating Partnership's Properties are located in
the Midwestern region of the United States and such Properties consist
predominantly of community and neighborhood shopping centers. The Operating
Partnership's performance therefore is linked to economic conditions in the
Midwest and in the market for retail space generally. The market for retail
space has been adversely affected by the ongoing consolidation in the retail
sector, the adverse financial condition of certain large companies in this
sector and the excess amount of retail space in certain markets. To the extent
that these conditions impact the market rents for retail space, they could
result in a reduction of cash receipts and cash available for distribution and
thus affect the amount of distributions the Operating Partnership can make to
the holders of its Units, including the Company.
 
   
  Risks of Dependence on Financial Condition of Tenants and Potential for
Bankruptcy of Tenants
    
 
     Since substantially all of the Operating Partnership's income has been, and
will continue to be, derived from rental income from retail shopping centers,
the amount of cash receipts and cash available for distribution to the holders
of its Units, including the Company, would be adversely affected if a
significant number of tenants were unable to meet their obligations to the
Operating Partnership or if the Operating Partnership were unable to lease, on
economically favorable terms, a significant amount of space in its shopping
centers. In addition, in the event of default by a tenant, the Operating
Partnership may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing its
rights as landlord.
 
     At any time, a tenant of the Properties may seek the protection of the
bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of the
tenant lease. Such an event could cause a reduction of cash receipts and cash
available for distribution and thus affect the amount of distributions the
Operating Partnership can make to the holders of its Units, including the
Company. No assurance can be given that any present tenant which has filed for
bankruptcy protection will continue making payments under its lease or that any
tenants will not file for bankruptcy protection in the future or, if any tenants
file, that they will continue to make rental payments in a timely manner. In
addition, a tenant may, from time to time, experience a downturn in its
business, which may weaken its financial condition and result in a reduction or
failure to make rental payments when due. If a lessee or sublessee defaults in
its obligations to the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership may
experience delays in enforcing its right as lessor or sublessor and may incur
substantial costs and experience significant delays associated with protecting
its investment, including costs incurred in renovating and releasing the
Property.
 
   
  Risks of Decreased Rent From One North State Property
    
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1996, more than 10% of the total revenue
of the Operating Partnership was derived from rents and expense reimbursements
from tenants of the One North State property, which is a "mixed use" property
located in downtown Chicago. The total rents currently being paid by certain of
this Property's tenants may be in excess of current market rates. The leases of
these tenants begin to expire in 2001. One office tenant, Arthur Andersen,
however, has exercised an option to terminate its lease, effective as of April
1, 1998, and paid the Operating Partnership a $1.8 million cancellation fee.
Pursuant to the terms of the REMIC Indenture, this termination fee was paid into
a reserve account which is required to be used, among other things, to pay for
tenant alterations, leasing commissions and other lease inducements directly
related to this space. Any unused amount of this reserve account must be used to
repay the principal amounts owed under the REMIC Note. The inability of the
Operating Partnership to lease such property, or a significant reduction in the
amount of rent and expense reimbursements paid by the tenants of such property,
could have an adverse impact on the operating results of the Operating
Partnership.
 
   
  Risks of Vacancies and Lease Renewals
    
 
     The Operating Partnership is continually faced with expiring tenant leases
at its Properties. Some lease expirations provide the Operating Partnership with
the opportunity to increase rentals or to hold the space available for a
stronger long-term tenancy. In other cases, there may be no immediately
foreseeable strong
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   6
 
tenancy for space, and the space may remain vacant for a longer period than
anticipated or may be able to be re-leased only at less favorable rents. In such
situations, the Operating Partnership may be subject to competitive and economic
conditions over which it has no control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that
the effects of possible vacancies or lease renewals at such Properties may not
reduce the rental income and cash available for distribution below levels
anticipated by the Operating Partnership.
 
   
  Risks from Competition
    
 
     All of the Operating Partnership's Properties are located in developed
areas. There are numerous other retail properties and real estate companies
within the market area of each such Property which compete with the Operating
Partnership for tenants and development and acquisition opportunities. The
number of competitive retail properties and real estate companies in such areas
could have a material effect on (i) the Operating Partnership's ability to rent
space at the Properties and the amount of rents charged and (ii) development and
acquisition opportunities. The Operating Partnership competes for tenants and
acquisitions with others who have greater resources than it does.
 
   
  Possible Adverse Consequences of Limitations on Insurance
    
 
   
     The Operating Partnership carries comprehensive general liability coverage
and umbrella liability coverage on all of its Properties with limits of
liability which the management deems adequate to insure against liability claims
and provide for cost of defense. Similarly, the Operating Partnership is insured
against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts that management estimates
to be adequate to reimburse the Operating Partnership on a replacement cost
basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property, including loss of
rental income during the reconstruction period. Currently, the Operating
Partnership also insures the properties for loss caused by earthquake or flood
in the aggregate amount of $10 million per occurrence. Because of the high cost
of this type of insurance coverage and the wide fluctuations in price and
availability, management has made the determination that the risk of loss due to
earthquake and flood does not justify the cost to increase coverage limits any
further under current market conditions. Should the availability and pricing of
this coverage become more cost advantageous, management would re-evaluate its
position.
    
 
  Uncertainty of Meeting Acquisition Objectives
 
     The Operating Partnership continually seeks prospective acquisitions of
additional shopping centers and portfolios of shopping centers which management
believes can be purchased at attractive initial yields and/or which demonstrate
the potential for revenue and cash flow growth through implementation of
renovation, expansion, re-tenanting and re-leasing programs similar to those
undertaken with respect to Properties in the existing Portfolio. There can be no
assurance that the Operating Partnership will effect any potential acquisition
that it may evaluate. The evaluation process involves costs which are
non-recoverable in the case of acquisitions which are not consummated. In
addition, notwithstanding management's adherence to its criteria for evaluating
and due diligence regarding potential acquisitions, there can be no assurance
that any acquisition that is consummated will meet management's expectations.
 
   
  Impact of Control of the Operating Partnership by the Company
    
 
     The Restated and Amended Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership
(the "Operating Partnership Agreement") gives the Company as general partner
broad control over the operations and business activities of the Operating
Partnership. In exercising its authority as general partner, the Company is
subject to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Limited Partnership Act and to
general fiduciary principles of fair dealing to the limited partners as well as
to any specific limitations or restrictions on its authority contained in the
Operating Partnership Agreement or in any individually negotiated agreement with
a particular limited partner.
 
                                        4

  Risk from Reliance Upon the Company to Manage the Operating Partnership;
Adverse Consequences of Failure to Qualify as a REIT; Risk of Adverse Tax
Consequences to Holders of Units
    
 
     Although the fact that substantially all of the assets of the Company are
represented by its interest in the Operating Partnership, the Operating
Partnership in general, and the holders of the LP Units in particular, must rely
upon the Company as general partner to manage the affairs and business of the
Operating Partnership. In addition to the risks described above that relate to
the Operating Partnership, the Company is subject to certain other risks that
may affect its financial and other condition, including particularly adverse
consequences if the Company fails to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes. The description of certain risk factors applicable to the Company
contained under the caption "Business -- Risk Factors" in Item 1 of the
Company's 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 1996 is hereby
incorporated by reference.
 
     Among the powers that the Company has as general partner of the Operating
Partnership are the powers to determine whether and when to sell any particular
property or properties owned by the Operating Partnership, subject to any
specific agreements limiting the power of sale that the Operating Partnership
may have entered into with the contributor or contributors of any specific
properties at the time that such contributor or contributors contributed their
interest in the property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for LP Units.
After the expiration of any such limiting agreement on the Company's authority
as general partner to sell a property, the property may be sold and such sale
may result in the recognition of capital gains or other tax consequences to the
holder or holders of LP Units that were deferred at the time of the original
contribution of the properties to the Operating Partnership.
 
   
  Risk of Transfer of General Partnership Interest in Sole Discretion of the
Company
    
 
   
     Pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Company may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, transfer its interest in the Operating Partnership
at any time; provided, however, that until March 16, 1998, the general
partnership may not without the consent of the majority of the limited partners,
transfer its general
partnership interest to any of its affiliates other than an affiliate whose
securities will become issuable upon redemption of the Units. Although the
Company has no intention of transferring its general partnership interest, there
can be no assurance that it will not do so at some point in the future.
    
 
   
  Limits on Changes in Control
    
 
   
     Certain provisions contained in the Company's Charter and Bylaws may have
the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for
the Company and may thereby inhibit a change in control of the Company. These
provisions include the following: (i) the Company's Charter provides for three
classes of Directors, with the term of office of one class expiring each year,
(ii) the Company's Bylaws provide that the holders of not less than 25% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock may call a special meeting of the Company's
stockholders, and (iii) the Charter generally limits any holder from acquiring
more than 9.8% of the value of all outstanding capital stock of the Company.
With respect to clause (ii) in the proceeding sentence, Maryland General
Corporation Law ("MGCL") authorizes the Directors of the Company to amend the
Bylaws to increase the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock required to
call a special meeting from 25% to a majority.
    
 
   
     The provisions described above could have a potential anti-takeover effect
on the Company. The staggered Board provision in the Charter prevents
stockholders from voting on the election of more than one class of directors at
each annual meeting of stockholders and thus may have the effect of keeping the
members of the Board of Directors of the Company in control for a longer period
to time. The staggered board provision and the provision in the Bylaws requiring
holders of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock to call a
special meeting of stockholders may have the effect of making it more difficult
for a third party to acquire control of the Company without the consent of its
Board of Directors, including certain acquisitions which stockholders deem to be
in their best interest. In addition, the Ownership limits in the Charter may
also (i) deter certain tender offers for the shares of common Stock which might
be attractive to certain stockholders, or (ii) limit the opportunity for
stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of Common
    
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   8
 
   
Stock that might otherwise exist if an investor were attempting to assemble a
block of shares in excess of 9.8% of the value of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, or otherwise effect a change in control.
    
 
   
     The provisions of the MGCL relating to certain "business combinations" and
"control share" acquisitions involving corporations organized under the laws of
that state may also inhibit a change in control of the Company.
    
 
GENERAL
 
   
     The Operating Partnership is an owner of grocery-anchored, open-air
neighborhood and community shopping centers and is engaged in the business of
acquiring, and actively managing and leasing such properties. The objective of
the Operating Partnership is to be a leading owner of grocery-anchored, open-air
shopping centers in the Midwestern region of the United States, in terms of
square feet owned or managed. As used herein, the term "Bradley Real Estate,
Inc." refers also to its predecessor Bradley Real Estate Trust, and the term
"Company" or "Bradley" as used herein refers to Bradley Real Estate, Inc. and
its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (including Bradley Operating Limited
Partnership and its subsidiaries) or, where the context so requires, Bradley
Real Estate, Inc. only. The term "Operating Partnership" as used herein means
Bradley Operating Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis, or, where the context so requires, Bradley Operating Limited Partnership
only.
    
 
   
     Bradley Real Estate, Inc., has elected to qualify as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes since its organization in 1961. The Company believes it is
the nation's oldest continually qualified real estate investment trust. On March
15, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition (the "Tucker Acquisition") of
Tucker Properties Corporation ("Tucker"). The acquisition was consummated
through the issuance by the Company of approximately 7.4 million shares of its
common stock valued at $13.96 per share, and was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Tucker held title to all of its properties
through two partnerships; eight properties through Tucker Operating Limited
Partnership ("TOP"), in which Tucker had a 95.9% general partnership interest,
and six properties through Tucker Financing Partnership ("TFP"), a general
partnership of which TOP owned 99% and a wholly-owned Tucker corporate
subsidiary owned the remaining 1%. Upon the acquisition of Tucker, the Company
succeeded to Tucker's interest in TOP, TFP and the wholly-owned Tucker corporate
subsidiary, and the name "Bradley" was substituted for "Tucker" in each
subsidiary and partnership. In August 1997, the Company contributed its
interests in the 18 properties it held directly to the Operating Partnership,
two of which are held for sale.
    
 
     The Operating Partnership therefore succeeds Bradley as the entity through
which the Company will expand its ownership and operation of properties
primarily located in the Midwestern region of the country.
 
     The Company currently owns an approximate 95% economic interest in and is
the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership (this structure is
commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or "UPREIT"). The board of
directors of the Company manages the affairs of the Operating Partnership by
directing the affairs of the Company. Economic interests in the Operating
Partnership are evidenced by units of partnership interest ("Units") with the
interest of the general partner evidenced by general partner units ("GP Units").
 
     The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons who received
limited partner interests evidenced by limited partner units ("LP Units") in
connection with their contributions of direct or indirect interests in certain
properties to the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is obligated
to redeem each LP Unit at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to
the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01
per share, ("Common Stock"), at the time of such redemption, provided that the
Company, at its option, may elect to acquire any such LP Unit presented for
redemption for either one share of Common Stock or cash. The Company presently
anticipates that it will elect to issue Common Stock to acquire LP Units for
redemption, rather than paying cash. With each such redemption, the Company's
percentage ownership interest in the Operating Partnership will increase. In
addition, whenever the Company issues Common Stock, it is anticipated that the
Company will contribute any net proceeds therefrom to the Operating Partnership
and the Operating Partnership will issue an equivalent number of GP Units to the
Company. The Operating Partnership has authority to issue preferred units that
may have
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   9
 
distribution and other rights senior to the rights of holders of Units, but the
Operating Partnership may issue preferred units to the Company only in exchange
for the contribution by the Company to the Operating Partnership of the net
proceeds from the Company's issuance of an equivalent number of shares of
preferred stock that have equivalent seniority rights over the rights of holders
of shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
     The Operating Partnership may issue additional Units to purchase additional
properties or to purchase land parcels for the development of properties in
transactions that defer some or all of the seller's tax consequences. The
Operating Partnership believes that many potential sellers of properties have a
low tax basis in their properties and would be more willing to sell the
properties in transactions that defer the federal income tax consequences of the
sale. Offering Units instead of cash for properties may provide potential
sellers with partial federal income tax deferral.
 
   
     Although there is no separate trading market for LP Units of the Operating
Partnership, the Company believes that the market value of the shares of Common
Stock of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange may provide holders of LP
Units, or potential holders of LP Units, with a mechanism by which to value LP
Units from time to time, after giving effect to the particular tax position of
each holder. The trading value of the Common Stock serves as a useful surrogate
for the value of LP Units because the distributions to the holders of LP Units
are made concurrently with and in the same amount per LP Unit as distributions
paid by the Company to each share of Common Stock of the Company and because of
the redemption rights of the holders of LP Units.
    
 
   
     At August 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership owned, directly or
indirectly, 44 properties aggregating over 8.6 million square feet of rentable
space, substantially all of which are located in Midwest markets, making the
Operating Partnership one of the leading owners and operators of community and
neighborhood shopping centers in this region. Of the 44 properties owned by the
Operating Partnership at August 31, 1997, 28 were grocery-anchored, open-air
shopping centers located in the Midwestern region of the United States. The
portfolio of properties owned by the Operating Partnership has approximately
1,000 tenants, with no single tenant accounting for more than 6.5% of gross
revenues. The majority of the properties have been constructed or renovated
within the past five to eight years. As of August 31, 1997, the Operating
Partnership's portfolio was approximately 93% occupied. (Properties owned by the
Operating Partnership from time to time are hereinafter sometimes referred to
individually as a "Property" and collectively referred to as the "Properties" or
the "Portfolio.")
    
 
   
     As part of its ongoing business, the Operating Partnership regularly
evaluates, and engages in discussions with public and private real estate
entities regarding possible portfolio or individual asset acquisitions or
business combinations. The Operating Partnership is in the process of actively
evaluating several properties and, accordingly, expects to complete additional
acquisitions of retail properties during 1997 although no assurance can be given
that any of these acquisitions will be consummated. The Operating Partnership
currently has three properties under agreement, none of which individually or in
the aggregate would have a material effect on the financial condition of the
Operating Partnership. In evaluating potential acquisitions, the Operating
Partnership focuses principally on community and neighborhood shopping centers
in the upper Midwest -- generally consisting of the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South
Dakota and Wisconsin -- that are anchored by strong national, regional and
independent grocery store chains. The Operating Partnership favors
grocery-anchored shopping centers because, based on its experience and current
research, such properties offer better prospects for sustainable cash flow
growth over time due to their strong and predictable daily consumer traffic and
are less susceptible to downturns in the general economy than other types of
properties, such as those anchored by stores focusing on apparel or leisure
items instead of food or necessity items.
    
 
   
     In addition, management from time to time identifies Properties in the
Portfolio that no longer are consistent with current operating focus or for
which a purchase offer is received that management believes should be accepted
to provide funds that may immediately or eventually be invested in properties
with potential for a better return. During 1997, the Operating Partnership and
the Company have sold two properties for an aggregate sales price of $17.2
million. Two properties, 585 Boylston Street located in Boston, Massachusetts
and Village Shopping Center located in Gary, Indiana, are currently held for
sale. The
    
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   10
 
   
585 Boylston Street property is not aligned with the Operating Partnership's
current market strategy. Village Shopping Center, one of the properties acquired
from Tucker, is considered by management to be a property where the proceeds
from a sale could be better invested in a property or properties with higher
growth potential, requiring lower property management intensity and with a
tenant base more consistent with the current strategy.
    
 
   
     The Operating Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership and the Company
is a Maryland corporation. The executive offices of both the Operating
Partnership and the Company are located at 40 Skokie Boulevard, Suite 600,
Northbrook, Illinois 60062-1626 and their telephone number is (847) 272-9800.
    
 
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY
 
   
     Philosophy:  The Operating Partnership intends to be a leading owner of
grocery-anchored open-air shopping centers in the Midwestern region of the
United States. The Operating Partnership believes grocery-anchored open-air
properties offer risk-adjusted returns that are superior to alternative retail
formats. Grocery-anchored centers perform better through varied economic
conditions since they are usually located close to residential areas, are
convenience driven, promote repeat customer traffic and cross-shopping, and tend
to be less affected by changing demographics. The Operating Partnership intends
to grow by improving cash flows from existing Properties through innovative,
proactive management and leasing that focuses on tenant satisfaction and
retention, increases in rents and occupancy levels and the control of operating
expenses. The Operating Partnership also intends to grow through the acquisition
of additional grocery-anchored shopping centers located throughout its Midwest
target market. The Operating Partnership believes it is well positioned to
achieve these objectives given Bradley's 35 year operating history in the
Midwest region of the country, its existing management infrastructure in several
key Midwestern markets and its depth of management and management information
systems.
    
 
     Management Structure:  The Operating Partnership provides a full range of
fully integrated real estate services with over 80 professionals involved in
management, leasing, acquisition and financing of the Operating Partnership's 44
Properties. Senior management consists of seven individuals with an average of
18 years of real estate experience, ranging from 12 to 30 years in the business.
The Operating Partnership maintains regional offices in Chicago, Minneapolis,
St. Louis and Milwaukee, in order that as many Properties as practicable have a
manager located within a one to two hour drive. The Operating Partnership
believes that operational success is driven by its employees and seeks to
provide a challenging and congenial work environment which offers personal and
career growth to all employees. The finance, accounting and administrative
functions for the Operating Partnership are handled by a central office staff
located in the Northbrook, Illinois headquarters.
 
     Property Operations:  The Asset Management Department operates the
Portfolio with the objective of maximizing current cash flows while at the same
time enhancing long-term value. The Properties are operated by 13 professional
property managers, all of whom have or are working toward professional
designations. Each property manager currently manages an average of 600,000
square feet in slightly over three Properties. Property managers all have
comprehensive written goals focusing on the following objectives:
 
     Tenant Coverage and Retention:  The satisfaction of existing tenants at the
Properties is demonstrated by the Operating Partnership's historical renewal
rate. The Operating Partnership believes that the maintenance of good
relationships and communications is imperative to tenant retention. Managers
meet with tenants on a regular basis, with such communication considered
essential not only in the lease renewal process but also in identifying mutual
needs and expectations while clarifying and resolving issues. In general, leases
are renewed at market rates with standard escalation clauses. The property
manager negotiates the renewal terms with tenants, in conjunction with the
leasing agent assigned to the Property.
 
     Property Maintenance and Expense Control:  Maintenance of the Portfolio is
performed by both internal and third-party contract personnel. The Operating
Partnership's construction and property management personnel ensure each
Property is maintained in optimal condition while ensuring all opportunities to
minimize operating costs are considered. These opportunities include property
tax protestation, competitive
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
bidding for third party services, conducting routine preventative maintenance
and enforcing strict accounting and collection controls.
 
     Financial Performance:  Revenues from the Portfolio are maximized by
providing property managers and leasing agents with significant input in the
setting of financial goals for each Property and enabling property managers and
leasing agents to make decisions with respect to new and renewal leases.
Property managers are also required to follow strict policies with respect to
competitive bidding of contracts and the collection procedures to be followed at
each Property, as well as aggressively to seek property tax reductions.
 
     Leasing:  The Leasing Department is focused on attracting and retaining
quality tenants on economically favorable terms, leveraging off established
tenant relationships and capitalizing on the Operating Partnership's ability to
offer multiple locations. Each leasing representative is responsible for, on
average, 1.5 million square feet of retail space or approximately five to eight
shopping centers. Leasing representatives are assigned specific Properties and
are responsible for the following objectives:
 
          Creating an annual leasing plan including an analysis of the
     competition for each center which is an integral part of the annual budget.
 
          Managing all leasing activities including sourcing new tenants,
     negotiating lease parameters, lease analysis and closing lease
     transactions.
 
          Working with property managers on lease renewals.
 
          Monitoring and working with the construction department on tenant
     improvements in order to insure that all lease occupancy requirements are
     met.
 
          Establishing tenant and industry relationships.
 
     The Operating Partnership commits significant resources to market research
efforts. Leasing representatives have access to demographic programs detailing
existing and projected population, income and retail sales growth within a trade
area, as well as the macro and micro economic data provided by the Research
Department. In addition to this internal market data, leasing representatives
are required to prepare a site specific market analysis for each Property,
taking into consideration competitive centers, market rental rates, local tenant
concentration, traffic patterns, and vacancies within competing centers.
 
     Acquisitions:  The Operating Partnership focuses its efforts on the
acquisition of grocery-anchored open-air neighborhood and community shopping
centers in its Midwest target area. Acquisition efforts are focused on both
metropolitan statistical areas determined by the U.S. Census Bureau ("MSAs") and
secondary markets in this area. The Operating Partnership seeks acquisitions in
MSAs and secondary markets where it can establish a strong market presence by
owning multiple properties. The Operating Partnership primarily seeks
grocery-anchored open-air neighborhood and community shopping centers containing
60,000 to 200,000 square feet of rentable area and that have the following
additional characteristics:
 
          Anchored by grocery stores that are operated by national or regional
     Midwest chains or by top-tier independent operators with leading positions
     in their trade areas.
 
          Contain service retailer tenants, such as banks, related financial
     service, brokerage, medical offices, auto service, restaurants, drug
     stores, video stores and florists.
 
          Have an appropriate balance of "small shop" space to the amount of
     anchor square footage.
 
          Have been sufficiently well-maintained so as not to have significant
     deferred maintenance costs.
 
     The Operating Partnership seeks to acquire properties that management
believes are priced below replacement cost, are located in strong Midwestern
MSAs or secondary markets, and that are capable of producing minimum acceptable
threshold yields which management believes can be increased through the
Operating Partnership's operating and leasing experience and in certain
instances through strategic capital improvements. In conjunction with extensive
internal research and product sourcing efforts, the Operating Partnership has
established relationships with external brokers in a number of its markets,
enabling it to
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   12
 
diversify its search throughout its Midwestern target area. Such relationships
give the Operating Partnership broad geographic coverage while minimizing fixed
general and administrative expenses.
 
     Research:  The Research Department supports the overall strategic planning
process as well as the Acquisition, Leasing and Asset Management Departments.
The Operating Partnership maintains its own internal demographic, retailer and
shopping center databases with the assistance and support of outside
consultants. Research efforts are ongoing and focus on analyzing selected
counties and MSAs throughout the Operating Partnership's target markets in the
Midwest. The research process focuses on four major elements:
 
          Demographic and economic trends in the Operating Partnership's trade
     areas.
 
          Detailed databases on shopping center inventory and owners.
 
          Credit and operating information on the region's grocery operators, as
     well as other national, regional and local tenants.
 
          Supply and demand balances for retail space in the targeted markets'
     trade areas.
 
     Management Information Systems:  The Operating Partnership has integrated
property management information systems which include distributive processing
features that make available next day information to field and corporate office
personnel of data and transactions entered at each location. The system also
includes a comprehensive lease database containing all relevant economic and
compliance provisions contained in each lease. The system is designed with
significant security, control and efficiency features and includes automated
billings, daily updates of receivables and open payables, and operational
reports for both leasing and property management personnel. Management of the
Operating Partnership is committed to continued investment in information
technology so that information systems will continue to be adequate to support
the growth of the Operating Partnership.

ONE NORTH STATE
 
     One North State was the only Property in the Portfolio at December 31,
1996, that represented 10% or more of the historic book value of the Portfolio
at December 31, 1996, or accounted for 10% or more of the Portfolio's gross
revenues in 1996. One North State is a mixed-use property located in the "Loop"
area of downtown Chicago, Illinois. The Property aggregates approximately
640,000 square feet of GLA including approximately 159,000 square feet of retail
space. Real estate taxes for this Property amounted to approximately $2,917,000
for the period March 15, 1996 through December 31, 1996. The retail portion of
this Property is anchored by T.J. Maxx and Filene's Basement. The leases to T.J.
Maxx and Filene's Basement provide current minimum annual rent of approximately
$1,237,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. The office portion of this Property is
leased primarily to First Chicago and Arthur Andersen. The leases to First
Chicago and Arthur Andersen provide current minimum annual rent of approximately
$3,942,000 and $1,518,000, respectively.
 
   
     The following tables set forth certain supplemental information with
respect to One North State, and reflect Arthur Andersen's termination in 1996 of

TENANT MIX AND LEASES
 
   
     As evidenced by the preceding list of Properties, the tenant mix of the
Portfolio is diverse and well represented by supermarkets, drugstores and other
consumer necessity or value-oriented retailers. Based on its past experience,
the Operating Partnership believes that such tenants tend to be stable
performers in both good and bad economic times. As of December 31, 1996, sixteen
Properties were anchored by supermarkets,
    
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   18
 
most of which are leading grocery chains in their respective markets. No tenant
included in the Portfolio on December 31, 1996 accounted for as much as 10% of
the gross revenues of the Portfolio in 1996.
 
     The terms of the outstanding retail leases at the Properties vary from
tenancies at will to 50 years. Major tenant leases are typically for 10 to 25
years, with one or more extension options available to the lessee upon
expiration of the initial lease. By contrast, smaller shop leases are typically
negotiated for three to five year terms. The longer term of the major tenant
leases serves to protect the Operating Partnership against significant vacancies
and to assure the presence of strong tenants who draw consumers to the
Properties. The shorter term of the smaller shop leases allows the Operating
Partnership to adjust rental rates for non-major store space on a regular basis
and upgrade the overall tenant mix.
 
   
     Leases to major tenants tend to provide lower minimum rents per square foot
than smaller shop leases. For example, although the Properties in the Portfolio
at the present time are not identical, major tenant leases for Properties owned
by the Operating Partnership at December 31, 1996, provided an average annual
minimum rent of $6.53 per square foot, compared with non-major tenant leases
which provided an average annual minimum rent of $10.51. In general, the
Operating Partnership believes that minimum rental rates for major tenant leases
entered into several years ago are below current market rates, while recent
major tenant leases and most other leases provide for minimum rental rates that
more closely reflect current market rates. The payment by tenants of minimum
rents that are below current market rates is offset in part by payment of
percentage rents.
    
 
     Annual minimum future rentals to be received under non-cancelable operating
leases in effect at December 31, 1996, for the Properties included in the
Portfolio at December 31, 1996 (excluding properties held for sale), and the
number of leases that will expire, the square feet covered by such leases and
the minimum annual rent in the year of expiration under such expiring leases for
the next ten years are as follows:

                     THE REMIC NOTE AND OTHER INDEBTEDNESS
    
 
   
     The title to six of the Properties acquired from Tucker described in the
preceding list of Properties -- Commons of Crystal Lake, Heritage Square,
Sheridan Village, Speedway Super Center (excluding outlots), Washington Lawndale
Commons and One North State -- is held by a general partnership of which the
Operating Partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company are
respectively 99% and 1% partners. The partnership is obligated under a $100
million mortgage note maturing in September 2000 secured by such six properties
that was issued to a trust qualifying as a real estate mortgage investment
conduit for federal income tax purposes (the "REMIC Note"). Pursuant to terms of
the indenture (the "REMIC Indenture") governing the REMIC Note, prior to October
1997 principal payments on the REMIC Note cannot be made and the properties
collateralizing the REMIC Note cannot be sold. If the Operating Partnership
wishes either to repay all or part of the $100 million principal of the REMIC
Note or to sell any of the properties collateralizing the REMIC Note after such
date, significant prepayment penalties will be incurred. The prepayment of
principal of the REMIC Note requires an additional payment of the greater of
either (i) 1% of the amount of principal being prepaid or (ii) the product of
(A) the difference between the outstanding
    
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   19
 
principal balance of the REMIC Note before prepayment and the present value of
all remaining interest and principal payments thereon and (B) the amount of
principal being prepaid divided by the outstanding principal balance of the
REMIC Note. After October 1997, in order to release any of the properties
collateralizing the REMIC Note from the lien, the REMIC Indenture requires that
certain additional conditions be met, including that (i) the aggregate amount of
principal repaid on the REMIC Note equals at least 125% of the amount of
principal allocated to the property to be released and (ii) certain debt service
coverage ratios continue to be satisfied.
 
   
     In August 1997, Standard & Poor's Investment Services ("Standard & Poor's")
assigned a corporate rating of "BBB-" to the Operating Partnership. Depending
upon market conditions and the costs to the Operating Partnership at the time,
the Operating Partnership anticipates that it will be advantageous to incur the
prepayment penalty and to prepay the REMIC Note after October 1997, with the
proceeds from an issue of unsecured debt by the Operating Partnership, thereby
releasing the six properties securing the REMIC Note from the lien of the REMIC
Indenture. The Operating Partnership believes that, even with the prepayment
penalty, refinancing the REMIC Note with debt at the lower interest rates
currently available will economically benefit the Operating Partnership more
than keeping the REMIC Note outstanding until its stated maturity in September
2000, at which point interest rates may be substantially higher. In anticipation
of issuing such debt, the Operating Partnership has entered into two forward
Treasury Note purchase agreements with third parties in order partially to hedge
the interest rate. There can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership will
prepay the REMIC Note or that, if the REMIC Note is prepaid, the effective cost
of doing so will not be greater than the current interest cost of the REMIC
Note.
    
 
   
     The Operating Partnership and the Company are also parties to a $150
million unsecured revolving line of credit with BankBoston, N.A. and other bank
lenders. The line of credit, which matures in March 1999, is available for the
acquisition, development, renovation and expansion of existing and new
properties and for working capital purposes. As a result of the investment grade
rating assigned to the Operating Partnership by Standard & Poor's, the interest
rate on outstanding borrowings under the line of credit was lowered from 1.5% to
1.375% over the London InterBank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") in effect from time to
time. The line of credit contains certain financial and operational covenants
that, among other provisions, limit the amount of secured and unsecured
indebtedness the Company and the Operating Partnership may have outstanding at
any time, and provide for the maintenance of certain financial tests including
minimum net worth and debt service coverage requirements. Management believes
that such covenants will not adversely affect the business or the operation of
its properties. In addition, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the line
of credit in the event that the Operating Partnership fails to pay at maturity
or to perform any other material obligation under any other indebtedness
amounting to greater than $10 million.
    
 
   
     Five other properties of the Operating Partnership secure an aggregate of
approximately $28.6 million of additional mortgage debt, of which approximately
$10.2 million matures in September 1998, $3.7 million matures in 2003, $12.8
million matures in August 2005 and $1.9 million matures in December 2008. Total
debt outstanding as of June 30, 1997 amounted to $193,268,000, of which
$128,868,000 was secured by various of the Properties. As of June 30, 1997,
approximately 42% of the Operating Partnership's assets were encumbered by
mortgage indebtedness, of which approximately 34% were encumbered specifically
by the REMIC Note.
    
 
   
     The Operating Partnership may enter into derivative financial instrument
transactions in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial
instrument. The Operating Partnership has designated these derivative financial
instruments as hedges and applies deferral accounting, as the instrument to be
hedged exposes the Operating Partnership to interest rate risk and the
derivative financial instrument reduces that exposure. Gains and losses related
to the derivative financial instrument are deferred and amortized over the terms
of the hedged instrument. If a derivative terminates or is sold, the gain or
loss is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the derivative.
Derivatives that do not satisfy the criteria above are carried at market value,
and any changes in market value are recognized in other income. As of the date
of this Prospectus
    
 
                                       17

Supplement, the Operating Partnership has only entered into derivative
transactions that satisfy the aforementioned criteria.

(1) Unaudited pro forma data includes operating revenues and expenses for the
    six months ended June 30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 for
    the properties acquired and disposed between January 1, 1996 and June 30,
    1997, and subsequently, for the period during which the Operating
    Partnership did not own them. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the
    year ended December 31, 1996, pro forma mortgage and other interest has been
    increased by approximately $2,033,000 and $2,370,000, respectively,
    reflecting the borrowings estimated for such acquisitions for the period
    which the Operating Partnership did not own them, net of reductions of
    mortgage and other interest for the application of net proceeds from
    dispositions and the November 1996 Offering used to pay-down the line of
    credit for the period the Operating Partnership owned such properties and
    for the period prior to the November 1996 Offering. Pro forma depreciation
    and amortization for the six months ended June 30,

    1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 has been increased by
    approximately $702,000 and $1,914,000, respectively, to give effect to
    recording the acquisitions for the period which the Operating Partnership
    did not own them, net of the reduction for properties disposed for the
    period which the Operating Partnership owned such properties, using a useful
    life of 39 years.
 
(2) The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 was prepared as if
    the acquisitions and the disposition occurring subsequent to June 30, 1997,

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
GENERAL
 
     The Operating Partnership believes that improving its financial flexibility
will position the Operating Partnership for future growth, allowing it to take
advantage of acquisition, renovation and expansion opportunities. The Operating
Partnership further considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from
operating and from financing activities to be sufficient, and expects them to
continue to be sufficient, to meet its operating expense, debt service,
distribution requirements and acquisition opportunities for the foreseeable
future. Due to the capital intensive nature of real estate in general, the
avenues available for raising capital, as well as the mix of debt and equity,
are a critical component in the ability of the Operating Partnership to continue
to grow.
 
     The Operating Partnership funds operating expenses and distributions
primarily from operating cash flows, although its bank line of credit may also
be used for these purposes. The Operating Partnership and the
Company may each borrow under the bank line of credit and are jointly and
severally liable for all obligations thereunder. The Operating Partnership funds
acquisitions and capital expenditures primarily from the line of credit and, to
a lesser extent, operating cash flows, as well as through the issuance of LP
Units. The Operating Partnership may also acquire properties through capital
contributions by the Company of proceeds from the issuance by the Company of
additional securities. In addition, three properties which no longer fit the
Operating Partnership's strategic focus were held for sale. The Operating
Partnership may also dispose of other properties which it no longer considers to
be core properties, reinvesting the proceeds from such dispositions in
properties with better growth potential and that are more consistent with the
Operating Partnership's strategic focus. In addition, the Operating Partnership
may acquire partial interests in real estate assets through participation in
joint venture transactions.
 
     As of June 30, 1997, financial liquidity was provided by approximately
$3,579,000 in cash and cash equivalents and by the Operating Partnership's
unused balance on the line of credit of $85,600,000. In addition, the Company
has effective "universal shelf" registration statements under which the Company
may issue up to $234,460,000 in equity securities, making such capital available
to the Operating Partnership. Equity securities may be issued from the universal
shelf registration from time to time when the Company determines that market
conditions and the opportunity to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of such
securities are favorable. The Company is obligated to contribute any net
proceeds from the issuance of such securities to the Operating Partnership, and
the Operating Partnership is obligated to issue to the Company an equivalent
number of GP Units having economic terms comparable to the securities issued by
the Company.
 
   
     The mortgage debt outstanding at June 30, 1997 consisted of fixed-rate
notes totaling $128,868,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 7.58%
maturing at various dates through 2008. Short term liquidity
represents debt service requirements due within one year. Scheduled principal
amortization of mortgage debt totaled $320,000 during the six months ended June
30, 1997, with another $302,000 scheduled principal payments due for the
remainder of the year. During the year ending December 31, 1998, scheduled
principal payments of approximately $536,000 are due. Additionally, in September
1998, approximately $10,011,000, with an interest rate of 9.875% is scheduled to
mature. Management currently expects to fund such debt service requirements with
operating cash flow and the line of credit.
    
 
     The Operating Partnership focuses its investment activities on community
and neighborhood shopping centers primarily in the Midwestern United States
anchored by regional and national grocery store chains. The Operating
Partnership will continue to seek acquisition opportunities of individual
properties and property portfolios and of private and public real estate
entities in both primary and secondary Midwestern markets where management can
utilize its extensive experience in shopping center renovation, expansion,
re-leasing and re-merchandising to achieve long-term cash flow growth and
favorable investment returns.
 
                                       20

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
 
     Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased to $19,536,000
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $14,952,000 during the same
period in 1996, and to $32,261,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996, from
$13,163,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 and $11,343,000 in 1994.
These increases were due primarily to the growth of the Operating Partnership's
Portfolio.
 
   
     Funds from operations ("FFO") increased $7,435,000 or 58% during the six
month period ended June 30, 1997 to $20,266,000 from $12,831,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, and $15,400,000 or 98% during the year ended
December 31, 1996, from $15,679,000 in the year ended December 31, 1995 to
$31,079,000 in the year ended December 31, 1996. FFO increased by $2,831,000 or
22% during 1995 from $12,848,000 in 1994. The Operating Partnership generally
considers FFO to be a relevant and meaningful supplemental measure of the
performance of an equity REIT because it is predicated on a cash flow analysis,
contrasted with net income, a measure predicated on generally accepted
accounting principles which gives effect to non-cash items such as depreciation.
FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") and as followed by the Operating Partnership, represents net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization. In computing FFO, the Operating Partnership does not add back to
net income the amortization of costs incurred in connection with the Operating
Partnership's financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets.
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or as a measure of cash made
available to investors. Reference is made to the consolidated statements of cash
flows, which has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, to obtain an understanding of the cash made available to fund cash
flow requirements. Since the definition of FFO is a guideline, computation of
FFO may vary from one REIT (and/or its operating partnership) to another. FFO is
not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
    
 
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
 
     Net cash flows from investing activities decreased to a net use of cash of
$8,877,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 from a net use of cash of
$1,920,000 in the same period of 1996, and to $16,715,000 during the year ended
December 31, 1996, from a net use of cash of $9,953,000 in 1995 and a net use of
cash of $33,653,000 in 1994.
 
     During 1996 and 1995, the Company completed two corporate acquisitions
through the issuance of a total of 7,753,157 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The first acquisition, completed in January 1995, was the acquisition of
the real estate investment trust advisory business of its former advisor,
thereby enabling the Company and thus the Operating Partnership to become
self-administered. The acquisition was completed through the issuance of 325,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company to the owners of the former advisor. The
business, consisting of a nominal amount of office equipment and information
systems, was contributed to the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the
employees of the advisory business became employees of Bradley.
 
     On March 15, 1996, the Company closed the Tucker Acquisition. The
acquisition was completed through the issuance of 7.4 million shares of Common
Stock of the Company valued at $13.96 per share, the payment of certain
transaction costs and the assumption of all of Tucker's liabilities, including
the $100,000,000 REMIC Note discussed below. The acquisition was structured as a
tax-free transaction, and was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Tucker held title to all of its properties through two
partnerships--eight properties through TOP, in which Tucker had a 95.9% general
partnership interest, and six properties through TFP, a general partnership of
which TOP owned 99% and a wholly owned Tucker corporate subsidiary owned the
remaining 1%. In August 1997, the Company contributed its interests in 18
properties it held directly to the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership therefore succeeds Bradley as the entity through which the Company
will expand its ownership and operation of properties primarily located in the
Midwestern region of the country.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   24
 
   
     In addition to the Tucker Acquisition, during 1996, the Operating
Partnership spent approximately $25,989,000 on property acquisitions and capital
improvements. Of that amount, approximately $18,012,000 was spent on property
acquisitions, approximately $7,310,000 on tenant specific capital improvements
and approximately $667,000 for other property improvements. As of June 30, 1997,
the Operating Partnership had commitments of approximately $2,500,000 for tenant
specific capital improvements for new tenants at Westview Center and Grandview
Plaza.
    
 
     Throughout 1996 and 1995, in addition to the Tucker Acquisition, the
Operating Partnership acquired three shopping centers in separate transactions
at an aggregate cost of approximately $23,261,000. The first property was
acquired for $9,100,000 with cash drawn from the Operating Partnership's line of
credit. The second property acquisition was structured as a "like-kind" exchange
for federal income tax purposes, whereby proceeds of $12,900,000 from the sale
of a ground lease were partially exchanged for a shopping center costing
$8,900,000. The excess cash proceeds from the sale were used to pay-down the
line of credit. The third property was acquired for approximately $5,261,000
with financing provided by the assumption of $2,094,000 in debt and the capital
contribution from the Company resulting from cash proceeds from the issuance of
182,500 shares of Common Stock in a privately negotiated transaction.
 
     During the first half of 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired five
shopping centers in separate transactions for a total purchase price of
approximately $26.5 million and sold one property that had been held for sale
for a net sales price of approximately $11.3 million. Subsequent to June 30,
1997, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of a portfolio of five
shopping centers located in Illinois and Iowa for approximately $28.8 million
and four additional shopping centers located in Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Missouri in separate transactions for approximately $40.3 million. Also
subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold one property.
 
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
     Net cash flows provided by financing activities declined to a net use of
cash of $14,542,000 during the six moths ended June 30, 1997 from a net use of
cash of $9,770,000 during the same period in 1996, and to a net use of cash of
$8,781,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996 from a net use of cash of
$2,706,000 during 1995 and a source of cash of $21,553,000 in 1994.
Distributions (treated as a reduction in cash flows from financing activities in
the accompanying financial statements) were $14,974,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 1997, $10,232,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996, and
$24,004,000, $13,528,000 and $11,034,000 during the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
     During 1996 and 1995, the Company completed two public offerings under the
Company's "shelf" registration statement, issuing a total of 5,375,000 shares of
Common Stock raising a total of approximately $82,300,000 after offering costs.
Net proceeds from the 1996 and 1995 public offerings (the "November 1996
Offering" and the "July 1995 Offering") of approximately $44,900,000 and
$37,400,000, respectively, were contributed to the Operating Partnership and
were applied principally to pay-down outstanding borrowings under the applicable
bank lines of credit that had been incurred, and mortgage notes that had been
assumed, in connection with the purchase of certain properties.
 
     On March 15, 1996, concurrently with the Tucker Acquisition, the Operating
Partnership entered into a new $150,000,000 unsecured revolving bank line of
credit facility with The First National Bank of Boston and other banks,
replacing the previous $65,000,000 line of credit that had been secured by a
blanket mortgage on six properties. The new line was at an interest rate equal
to the lower of the bank's base rate or 1.75% over LIBOR. Additionally, the
facility stipulated a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.250% per annum of
the unfunded line of credit balance depending on the outstanding balance during
a calendar quarter. The rates available under the line would become more
favorable in the event certain loan-to-value tests were met or the Operating
Partnership received an investment grade unsecured debt rating. The Operating
Partnership entered into interest rate protection agreements with respect to
$100,000,000 of the potential borrowings under the line of credit. In addition
to replacing outstanding borrowings under Bradley's and Tucker's previously
outstanding secured lines of credit, the facility is available for the
acquisition, development, renovation and expansion of new and existing
properties, and for other working capital purposes.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   25
 
     The line of credit contains certain financial and operational covenants
that, among other provisions, limit the amount of secured and unsecured
indebtedness the Operating Partnership may have outstanding at any time, and
provide for the maintenance of certain financial tests including minimum net
worth and debt service coverage requirements. The Operating Partnership believes
it is currently in compliance and was in compliance with such covenants during
1996 and that such covenants will not adversely affect the Operating
Partnership's business or the operation of its properties.
 
   
     In March 1997, the Operating Partnership amended the line of credit
facility, extending the maturity date to March 15, 1999, and reducing the
interest rate to the lower of the bank's base rate or 1.50% over LIBOR. The
amended line of credit agreement also provides more flexible covenants compared
with the previous agreement. The Operating Partnership expects to be able to
refinance the line of credit when due, although there can be no assurance that
the refinancing terms at the time of maturity will be favorable.
    
 
   
     In August 1997, Standard & Poor's Investment Services, a national credit
rating agency, announced that it assigned an investment grade corporate credit
rating of "BBB-" to the Operating Partnership. As a result, the interest rate on
the line of credit was further reduced to the lower of the bank's base rate or
1.375% over LIBOR, in accordance with the line of credit agreement, representing
a decrease in the interest margin on the line of credit of 0.375% from the rate
in effect at December 31, 1996.
    
 
     Financings for the five shopping center acquisitions completed during the
first half of 1997 included $17,500,000 in cash provided by the line of credit,
the assumption of a $3,800,000 non-recourse mortgage note, and $5,200,000 via
the issuance of 281,300 LP Units to the former owners of a shopping center.
Financing for the nine properties acquired subsequent to June 30, 1997 included
$60,000,000 drawn from the line of credit (including amounts used to pay-off at
closing an assumed $6,900,000 non-recourse mortgage) and $9,000,000 through the
issuance of 478,619 LP Units to the former owners of a shopping center. Net
proceeds of approximately $17,200,000 in the aggregate from the sale of a
shopping center during the first half of 1997, and from the sale of another
shopping center subsequent to June 30, 1997, were used to pay-down the line of
credit.
 
CAPITAL STRATEGY
 
   
     The Tucker liabilities assumed included a $100,000,000 mortgage note issued
by TFP, secured by the six properties it held. As of June 30, 1997,
approximately 42% of the Operating Partnership's assets were encumbered by
mortgage indebtedness, of which approximately 34% were encumbered specifically
by the REMIC Note. The note had been issued to an entity qualifying as a real
estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) for federal income tax purposes. The
REMIC Note has a fixed, 7.3% rate of interest, with an effective rate of 7.23%,
matures in September 2000 and becomes prepayable, upon payment of a significant
prepayment premium, in October 1997. The investment grade rating received from
Standard & Poor's provides the Operating Partnership with the ability to issue
fixed-rate unsecured debt. In anticipation of issuing such debt to prepay a
portion or all of the REMIC Note and possibly to pay-down additional debt, the
Operating Partnership has entered into two forward Treasury Note purchase
agreements with third parties in order partially to hedge the interest rate.
Management believes that the bank line of credit, as well as the current value
of the Operating Partnership's assets, provide the Operating Partnership with
the necessary flexibility to refinance the REMIC Note, as well as its other debt
obligations when due, although there can be no assurance that refinancing terms
at the time of maturity will be favorable.
    
 
     Management believes that the Company's recent growth has enhanced its and
the Operating Partnership's ability to raise further capital in the public
markets, providing an additional source of capital for the Operating Partnership
and, as indicated above, the Company has positioned itself to take advantage of
favorable opportunities by increasing the dollar amount of securities that it
may issue pursuant to "universal shelf" registration statements, and by
obtaining an investment grade corporate rating for the Operating Partnership.
While the public capital markets have generally been favorable for selected
REITs during the past few years, there can be no assurance either that the
public markets will remain receptive to providing new
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   26
 
capital to REITs and their operating partnerships or that the terms upon which
the Company and the Operating Partnership may be able to raise funds will be
attractive or favorable to them or to their share owners and partners.
 
     In addition, management from time to time identifies Properties in the
Portfolio that no longer are consistent with current operating focus or for
which a purchase offer is received that management believes should be accepted
to provide funds that may immediately or eventually be invested in properties
with potential for a better return. During 1997, the Operating Partnership and
the Company have sold two properties for an aggregate sales price of $17.2
million; and three properties are currently held for sale.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1996
 
     During the first six months of 1997, the Operating Partnership (including
the Predecessor Business) acquired five shopping centers in separate
transactions for a total purchase price of approximately $26.5 million, and sold
one shopping center that had been held for sale for a net sales price of
approximately $11.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the
Operating Partnership acquired sixteen properties, including fourteen properties
upon the Tucker Acquisition, and sold its interest in a ground lease. For the
six months ended June 30, 1997, net income was $14.6 million, or $0.65 per Unit,
compared with $16.6 million, or $1.04 per Unit, for the six months ended June
30, 1996. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, includes a $3.1
million gain on sale of property and a $1.3 million provision for loss on real
estate investment. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996, includes a
$9.4 million gain on sale of property. Weighted average Units outstanding for
the six-month period were 22,260,759 compared with 15,914,362 in the prior-year
period. The increased number of Units outstanding was due primarily to the
2,875,000 share November 1996 Offering which net proceeds were contributed to
the Operating Partnership in exchange for an equivalent number of GP Units, and
the issuance of 7,428,157 GP Units to the Company in connection with the Tucker
Acquisition on March 15, 1996.

</TABLE>
 
  Results Attributable to Acquisition and Disposition Activities
 
     Rental income increased from $33,201,000 in the first half of 1996 to
$45,889,000 in the first half of 1997. Approximately $12,782,000 of the increase
was attributable to the Operating Partnership's acquisition activities,
partially offset by $835,000 attributable to disposition activities.
 
     Operations, maintenance and management expense increased from $5,792,000 in
the first half of 1996 to $6,999,000 in the first half of 1997. Operations,
maintenance and management expenses incurred for properties acquired during the
six month period, net of such expenses eliminated for properties disposed, of
$1,859,000 were partially offset by a decrease of $652,000 in such expenses for
properties held both years.
 
     Real estate taxes increased from $7,688,000 in the first half of 1996 to
$9,627,000 in the first half of 1997. Substantially all of the increase was
attributable to the Operating Partnership's acquisition activities.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased from $5,976,000 in the first half
of 1996 to $7,855,000 in the first half of 1997. Approximately $1,865,000 of the
increase was attributable to the Operating Partnership's acquisition activities,
partially offset by $211,000 attributable to disposition activities.
 
  Results for Properties Fully Operating Throughout Both Periods
 
     The remaining increase in rental income for the six month period ended June
30, 1997, of $741,000 represented an increase of 4.5% over the first half of
1996. The positive variance was primarily due to an increase at Har Mar Mall
resulting from successful leasing activity during the second half of 1996, where
leases were signed for approximately 26,000 square feet, or 6% of the center.
Decreases in rental income at Westview Center due to a lower occupancy and at
Grandview Plaza due to the vacancy of JC Penney in 1996 were offset by an
increase at Rivercrest Center due to an increase in average occupancy during the
first half of 1997 compared with the first half of 1996. During the second
quarter of 1997, the Operating Partnership signed a new lease with OfficeMax for
30,000 square feet at Grandview Plaza, which is expected to commence early in
the first quarter of 1998. A new lease for 55,000 square feet with Waccamaw
Pottery at Westview Center is expected to contribute to increased rental income
in the fourth quarter of 1997, and a new lease with JC Penney Homestore for
55,000 square feet at the Commons of Chicago Ridge is expected to contribute to
increased rental income in the third quarter of 1997.
 
     The remaining decreases in operations, maintenance and management expense
of $652,000, or 20%, from the first half of 1996 were primarily attributable to
cost savings resulting from the completion in the second quarter of 1996 of the
internalization of the property management function for the properties located
in the Midwest, including a decrease in bad debt expense for such properties.
 
     The remaining increase in depreciation and amortization of $225,000 for the
six month period ended June 30, 1997, compared with the same period in 1996, was
primarily a result of new construction and leasing at White Bear Hills, Har Mar
Mall and Burning Tree Plaza as well as new tenancies at various other locations.
 
  Non-Property Specific Expenses
 
     Mortgage and other interest expense increased to $7,231,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, from $5,554,000 during the same period in 1996. Debt
assumed in the Tucker Acquisition on March 15, 1996,
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   28
 
consisting primarily of the $100 million REMIC mortgage note secured by six of
the acquired Tucker properties, accounted for $1,715,000 of the increase.
Additionally, mortgage interest expense on the mortgage note assumed upon the
acquisition of Martin's Bittersweet Plaza in January 1997 contributed to an
increase of approximately $171,000 during the first half of 1997 compared with
the first half of 1996. A lower weighted average outstanding balance on the line
of credit, primarily resulting from the application of proceeds from the
November 1996 Offering resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $195,000
for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, compared with the same period in
1996. The Operating Partnership's weighted average interest rate for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 was 7.67%.
 
     Administrative and general expense increased from $1,179,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, to $1,977,000 during the six months ended June 30,
1997. Although the Tucker Acquisition created substantial operating
efficiencies, following the acquisition the Operating Partnership reorganized
its internal operations to function by disciplines rather than geography. The
reorganization included the addition of executive management for leasing, asset
management and acquisition activities, mostly during the second half of 1996. In
addition, the acquisition of fifteen properties since June 30, 1996 has required
an increase in personnel to manage the additional workload. As a result of the
aforementioned reorganization and acquisition activity, the number of employees
has increased, resulting in an increase in payroll costs.
 
     During the first half of 1997, the Operating Partnership recorded a
provision for loss on its investment in Meadows Town Mall, located in Rolling
Meadows, Illinois. While undertaking a redevelopment plan for the center, the
Company received an unsolicited offer from a prospective purchaser of the
property. Management accepted the offer with the intention of redeploying
proceeds from the sale to the acquisition of another property or properties. The
provision of $1,300,000 represents the difference between the sales price, net
of closing costs, and the carrying value of the property. The property was
reclassified as held for sale on July 1, 1997. The sale was completed on August
8, 1997 for a net sales price of $5.9 million.
 
     During the first half of 1996, the Operating Partnership incurred a charge
of $344,000 consisting of deferred financing costs related to Bradley's former
bank line of credit and certain deferred acquisition costs related to
acquisitions which Bradley chose not to pursue due to the efforts required to
finalize the Tucker Acquisition.
 
1996 COMPARED TO 1995
 
     During 1996, Bradley acquired sixteen properties, including the fourteen
properties in connection with the Tucker Acquisition, and sold its interest in a
ground lease. Including operations for the newly acquired properties and the
gain on sale of $9,379,000, net income increased from $8,861,000 or $0.90 per
Unit in 1995 to $27,956,000, or $1.56 per Unit, in 1996. Per Unit amounts
reflect weighted average Units outstanding of 17,932,769 in 1996 and 9,863,767
in 1995. The increased Units primarily reflect the 7,428,157 Units issued to the
Company in connection with the Tucker Acquisition in March 1996 and the
2,875,000 Units issued to the Company upon its contribution to the Operating
Partnership of the net proceeds from the November 1996 Offering of an equivalent
number of shares of Common Stock.

  Results Attributable to Acquisition and Disposition Activities
 
     Rental income increased from $36,405,000 in 1995 to $77,512,000 in 1996, an
increase of $41,107,000. Approximately $42,279,000 of the net increase was
attributable to Bradley's acquisition activities, partially offset by
approximately $836,000 attributable to disposition activities.
 
     Other income increased from $167,000 in 1995 to $1,327,000 in 1996. The
increase was partially a result of income received from a sales tax sharing
agreement at Rollins Crossing, one of the properties acquired from Tucker. In
addition, interest income earned on cash and escrow balances increased due to an
increase in the weighted average daily balances, including, since the Tucker
Acquisition, approximately $3,600,000 held in various escrow accounts in
accordance with the $100 million REMIC Note assumed in connection with the
Tucker Acquisition.
 
     Operations, maintenance and management expense increased from $5,858,000 in
1995 to $12,949,000 in 1996. Approximately $6,432,000 of the increase was
attributable to acquisition activities.
 
     Real estate taxes increased from $8,726,000 in 1995 to $16,787,000 in 1996.
Approximately $8,346,000 of the increase was attributable to acquisition
activities.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased from $7,317,000 in 1995 to
$13,286,000 in 1996, an increase of $5,969,000. Approximately $5,463,000 of the
increase was attributable to acquisition and disposition activities.
 
  Results For Properties Fully Operating Throughout Both Periods
 
     The remaining decrease in rental income of approximately $336,000 was
attributable to decreases at Westview Shopping Center and Grandview Plaza in the
aggregate of $1,115,000, partially offset by increases in rental income at Har
Mar Mall, Burning Tree Plaza and Rivercrest Shopping Center of approximately
$712,000 in the aggregate. Westview Shopping Center continued to suffer from the
vacancy of Burlington Coat Factory in 1994. However, management negotiated a
decrease in the assessed value of the property and received a tax abatement
during 1996 resulting in a decrease in real estate tax expense of approximately
$669,000, more than offsetting the decrease in rental income. The increase in
rental income at Har Mar Mall was primarily attributable to a full year's rental
income from Barnes & Noble Superstore and HomePlace. During the second half of
1996, the Operating Partnership also signed leases at Har Mar Mall for
approximately 26,000 square feet, or 6% of the center, contributing to the
increase. The increase in rental income at Rivercrest Shopping Center was
primarily the result of an increase in real estate tax reimbursements.
 
     The remaining increase in operations, maintenance and management expense of
$659,000 was attributable to increased expenses at Sun Ray Shopping Center, Har
Mar Mall, and Rivercrest Shopping Center, and increased snow removal costs. The
increase in operations, maintenance and management expense was partially offset
by cost savings resulting from the completion of the internalization of the
property management function for the properties in the Midwest.
 
     The remaining increase in depreciation and amortization of $506,000 was
primarily a result of new construction and leasing at White Bear Hills, Har Mar
Mall and Burning Tree Plaza as well as new tenancies at various other locations.
 
  Non-Property Specific Expenses
 
     Mortgage and other interest increased from $4,705,000 in 1995 to
$13,404,000 in 1996. Interest expense on the line of credit, net of amounts
capitalized, increased from $2,011,000 to $5,666,000. The increase in interest
expense on the line of credit was due to a higher average outstanding balance
primarily as a result of paying off Tucker's secured line of credit with the
Operating Partnership's unsecured line of credit in March 1996, and the
repayment of three mortgages secured by Sun Ray Shopping Center for
approximately $12,300,000 with cash drawn on the line of credit. The weighted
average interest rate on the mortgage notes secured by Sun Ray Shopping Center
was 10.53%. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under
the line of credit decreased to 7.84% in 1996 from 8.00% in 1995. Mortgage
interest expense
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   30
 
increased from $2,694,000 in 1995 to $7,738,000 in 1996, primarily as a result
of the assumption of the $100,000,000 REMIC Note. The effective rate on the
REMIC Note is 7.23% and mortgage interest on the REMIC was approximately
$5,729,000 during 1996. The increase in mortgage interest expense was partially
offset by a decrease attributable to the repayment of three mortgage notes
secured by Sun Ray Shopping Center.
 
     General and administrative expenses increased from $1,105,000 in 1995 to
$3,005,000 in 1996. Although the Tucker Acquisition created substantial
operating efficiencies, following the acquisition the Operating Partnership
reorganized its internal operations to function by disciplines rather than
geography. The reorganization included the addition of executive management for
leasing, asset management and acquisition activities. The Operating Partnership
also completed the internalization of its property management and leasing
functions for all of its Midwest retail properties. Primarily as a result of the
Tucker Acquisition and the internal reorganization, the number of employees has
increased from 16 at December 31, 1995, to 81 at December 31, 1996, resulting in
an increase in payroll costs.
 
     In connection with Bradley's stated objective to focus on the Midwest,
Bradley relocated its headquarters from Boston, Massachusetts (where the Company
was founded in 1961) to Northbrook, Illinois. As a result of the headquarters
move, a one-time relocation charge of $409,000, or $0.02 per unit, was incurred
during 1996.
 
     During 1996, the Operating Partnership incurred a charge of $344,000, or
$0.02 per unit, consisting of deferred financing costs related to the former
bank line of credit and certain deferred acquisition costs related to
acquisitions which Bradley chose not to pursue due to the efforts required to
finalize the Tucker Acquisition.
 
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
 
     The aggregate result for 1995 was a $232,000 or 3% decrease in net income
from $9,093,000 ($1.11 per Unit) to $8,861,000 ($.90 per Unit). In 1994, income
before the gain on sale of property was $8,110,000 ($.99 per Unit), compared
with $8,861,000 in 1995, ($.90 per Unit). Per Unit amounts reflect weighted
average Units outstanding of 9,863,767 in 1995 and 8,191,831 in 1994, the
increased number of Units being attributable primarily to the Company's public
issuance of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "July 1995 Offering"),
completed in July 1995.
 
     Rental income increased $3,530,000 or 11% from $32,875,000 in 1994 to
$36,405,000 in 1995. Approximately $3,594,000 of this increase was due to the
acquisitions of Westwind Plaza and Rivercrest Center in 1994 and St. Francis
Plaza in 1995. These increases were partially offset by the sale of Spruce Tree
Centre in late 1994. Rental income from Har Mar Mall increased approximately
$598,000 while rental income from Burning Tree Plaza increased approximately
$260,000 from the prior year. Rental income at Har Mar Mall increased primarily
due to the signing of leases with Barnes & Noble and HomePlace. The increase at
Burning Tree Plaza was substantially attributable to the expansion of T.J. Maxx.
 
     Other income increased $55,000 or 49% from $112,000 in 1994 to $167,000 in
1995. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income,
resulting from the temporary investment of proceeds from the July 1995 Offering.
 
     Total expenses increased $2,834,000 or 11% from $24,877,000 in 1994 to
$27,711,000 in 1995. Operations, maintenance and management expense increased
$543,000 during 1995 (from $5,315,000 in 1994 to $5,858,000), due primarily to
an increase in operating expenses of $295,000 at Rivercrest Center, $285,000 at
Har Mar Mall and $269,000 at Westview Center, partially offset by the sale of
Spruce Tree Centre.
 
     Real estate tax expense increased $656,000 during 1995 (from $8,070,000 to
$8,726,000); $375,000 of the increase was due to the change in properties in
Bradley's portfolio. The remaining increase of $281,000 was due to tax increases
at all of the properties, most notably the Illinois properties, with the
exception of Har Mar Mall, which had a $355,000 reduction in real estate taxes
following negotiation of abatements.
 
     Mortgage and other interest expense increased $181,000 during 1995 (from
$4,524,000 in 1994 to $4,705,000). Approximately $270,000 of this increase was
due to mortgages secured by St. Francis Plaza and
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   31
 
Westwind Plaza, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on the line
of credit ($63,000) due to a decrease in the average debt balance, and an
increase in capitalized interest. The average interest rate on outstanding
borrowings under the line of credit increased from 7.1% in 1994 to 8.0% in 1995.
 
     Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $5,146,000 in 1994 to
$7,317,000 in 1995. Of this $2,171,000 increase, $1,193,000 was related to
amortizing the cost of the purchase of the advisory business of Bradley's former
external advisor, consummated in January 1995; $300,000 of the increase was due
to changes in real estate holdings; and the balance of the increase was due to
real estate improvements.
 
     Administrative and general expense decreased $717,000 in 1995, from
$1,822,000 in 1994 to $1,105,000 in 1995. This decrease primarily reflects cost
savings associated with becoming self-administered following the purchase of the
advisory business of the former advisor in January 1995.
 
     The acquisition of Westwind Plaza for approximately $7,500,000 was effected
in a tax-deferred exchange following the sale of Spruce Tree Centre for
$2,750,000, which resulted in a gain on sale of property of $983,000 recognized
in 1994.
 
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("Statement No.
128") which supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share." Statement No.
128 replaces the presentation of "primary EPS," which the Operating Partnership
has historically presented, with a presentation of "basic EPS," and replaces the
presentation of "fully diluted EPS," which the Operating Partnership has not
been required to present due to the immaterial difference from primary EPS with
"diluted EPS." It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on
the face of the income statement and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted EPS computation. Statement No. 128 is effective for financial
statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Management does not expect implementation of Statement No. 128 to have a
material effect on the financial statements of the Operating Partnership because
basic EPS is not expected to differ from the primary earnings per Unit as
previously presented, and diluted EPS is not expected to be materially different
from basic EPS.
 
INFLATION
 
     The Operating Partnership's leases generally contain provisions designed to
mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on net income. These provisions include
clauses enabling the Operating Partnership to pass through to tenants certain
operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities
and insurance, thereby reducing the Operating Partnership's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. Certain of
the Operating Partnership's leases contain clauses enabling the Operating
Partnership to receive percentage rents based on tenants' gross sales, which
generally increase as prices rise, and, in certain cases, escalation clauses,
which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In
addition, many of the Operating Partnership's non-anchor leases are for terms of
less than ten years, which permits the Operating Partnership to seek increased
rents upon re-leasing at higher market rates.
 
ITEM 3.  PROPERTIES
 
     The properties owned by the Operating Partnership at August 31, 1997 are
described under Item 1. Also see Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in this Registration Statement.
 
     The Operating Partnership's principal office is located at 40 Skokie
Boulevard in Northbrook, Illinois, where it leases approximately 10,000 square
feet of space from an unrelated landlord.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT
 
     The Operating Partnership is managed by the Company as the general partner
of the Operating Partnership. No director or executive officer of the Company
personally owns any GP Units or LP Units of the Operating Partnership.
Information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the
Company by its directors and executive officers, as well as by persons believed
to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's outstanding Common
Stock, is hereby incorporated by reference to the information contained on pages
13-14 of the Company's definitive proxy statement for its annual meeting of
stockholders held in 1997 under the caption "Beneficial Ownership of Shares."
 
ITEM 5.  DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Officers of the Registrant," in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, as
amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
 
ITEM 6.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
     The Operating Partnership is managed by the Company as the general partner
of the Operating Partnership. Consequently, the Operating Partnership has no
executive officers and pays no compensation. The information required by this
item therefore reflects compensation paid to the executive officers of the

ITEM 8.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     At the date of this Registration Statement, there are no legal proceedings
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened, that would, if adversely
determined, have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Operating
Partnership.
 
ITEM 9.  MARKET PRICE AND DISTRIBUTION
 
     There is no established public trading market for the Units, and Units may
be transferred only with the consent of the general partner as provided in the
Partnership Agreement. As of August 31, 1997, the Company was the only holder of
GP Units and there were approximately 20 holders of record of LP Units.
 
   
     At the present time, (i) there are no Units subject to outstanding options
or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, Units of the Operating
Partnership, (ii) there are 311,001 Units which could be sold pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act, subject to other restrictions on transfer in the
securities laws or in the Operating Partnership Agreement. LP units may be
transferred only with the consent and approval of the general partner, subject
to certain exemptions. See "Description of Registrant's Securities to be
Registered -- Transferability." Although the Operating Partnership has not
entered into any agreements to register the Units under the Securities Act, the
Company has agreed to register 1,070,920 shares of Common Stock, which are
issuable upon redemption of certain Units.
    
 
     The Operating Partnership Agreement provides that the Operating Partnership
will make priority distributions of Operating Cash Flow and Capital Cash Flow,
as defined, to limited partners at the time of each distribution to holders of
Common Stock of the Company, in an amount per Unit identical to the amount that
is distributed with respect to each share of Common Stock of the Company. The
Operating Partnership Agreement provides that all remaining such cash flow will
be distributed to the general partner. The following table sets forth the
quarterly distributions paid by the Operating Partnership to holders of its LP
Units with respect to each full quarterly period for which the Company has been
the general partner of the Operating Partnership.

ITEM 10.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
     At the time of the Company's acquisition of Tucker in March 1996, the then
outstanding units of TOP were adjusted by the same fraction (.686-to 1) as the
conversion ratio of shares of Common Stock of the Company issued in exchange for
shares of common stock of Tucker, resulting in there then being 314,749 Units
(representing 4.1% of the interest in the Operating Partnership) held by limited
partners and 7,428,202 Units acquired by the Company as successor general
partner of the Partnership.
 
     On January 1, 1997 and July 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership issued
281,300 and 478,619 LP Units, respectively that may be exchanged after one year
for an equal number of shares of Common Stock of the Company. Such LP Units were
issued, each as a part of the consideration paid for Roseville Center and County
Line Mall, respectively, to the existing privately held partnerships that
contributed each of Roseville Center and County Line Mall to the Operating
Partnership. No registration statement was required in connection with the
issuances because the transactions did not involve a public offering and were
exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. At the dates of the respective
transactions, the value of a share of the Common Stock of the Company for which
each LP Unit may be exchanged was $18.375 and $18.866 per share, respectively.
 
                                       31

     As a result of contributions of cash and properties made by the Company to
the Operating Partnership from time to time and to reflect that the Company
holds all of its assets (except its interest as general partner of the Operating
Partnership) for the benefit of the Operating Partnership, the Operating
Partnership Agreement reflects that the number of Units held by the general
partner is the same as the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that
are outstanding, or 21,676,375 GP Units at the date of this Registration
Statement.
 
ITEM 11.  DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
 
     The securities registered by this Registration Statement are General
Partner Units ("GP Units"). The rights and obligations of the general partner as
the sole holder of GP Units are as set forth in the Operating Partnership
Agreement. The following description is only a summary of certain provisions of
the Operating Partnership Agreement and is subject to, and qualified in its
entirety by, the Operating Partnership Agreement, which has been filed as an
exhibit to this Registration Statement.
 
     Voting Rights.  Under the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Company as
general partner of the Operating Partnership may take any action in a manner
which it reasonably believes is in the best interests of the Company's
stockholders or complies with the REIT requirements for the Company. Limited
Partners as holders of LP Units may not elect directors, or elect or remove the
Company as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. Until March 15,
1998, the general partner may not elect to dissolve the Operating Partnership or
sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership without
the consent of a majority in interest of the limited partners who were limited
partners at the time of the Tucker Acquisition (the "Original Limited
Partners"), except in connection with a merger or other business combination of
the general partner or its affiliates. The limited partners have no other voting
rights under the Operating Partnership Agreement, except that certain actions of
the general partner described below require the prior consent of a majority in
interest of the limited partners or the Original Limited Partners.
 
     Transferability.  Pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement, the
general partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, transfer its interest
in the Operating Partnership; provided, however, that until March 16, 1998, the
general partner shall not without the consent of the majority of the Original
Limited Partners, transfer its interest to any of its affiliates other than an
affiliate whose securities will become issuable upon redemption of the Units.
The LP Units are transferable (i) either by will, the laws of intestacy or
otherwise to the legal representative or successor of the transferring limited
partner who shall be bound in all respects by the terms of the Operating
Partnership Agreement; (ii) for inter vivos transfers for estate planning
purposes; or (iii) for pledges to secure the repayment of a loan. Other
transfers are subject to the consent and approval of the general partner.
 
     Issuance of Additional Units.  The issuance of additional Units, and the
relative rights, powers and duties of such Units, is at the discretion of the
Company as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until March 16, 1998, the general partner may not
cause the Operating Partnership to issue additional Units with rights, powers
and duties senior to the Units currently held by the limited partners without
the consent of a majority in interest of the Original Limited Partners. In
addition, the general partner may not permit the Operating Partnership to issue
additional Units until March 16, 1998 if the issuance of such Units would cause
a material adverse tax consequence to the Original Limited Partners (determined
in the manner described in the Operating Partnership Agreement), other than in
connection with the merger, consolidation or combination of the general partner
or its affiliates.
 
     Distributions.  In general, the Operating Partnership Agreement provides
for operating distributions to be made, subject to any priority distribution
rights of any class or series of Preferred Units, first to the limited partners
in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 99% of the cash available for
distribution from the Operating Partnership and (ii) an amount calculated in a
manner intended to provide the limited partners with distributions on each of
their LP Units equal to the dividend paid for the same period on a share of the
Company's Common Stock. Any remaining cash from operations available for
distribution will be distributed to the Company as general partner. Subject to
any priority distribution rights of any class or series of Preferred Units, the
Operating Partnership Agreement generally provides for liquidating distributions
to the limited
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   35
 
partners equal to either (i) an amount per Unit intended to equal the amount
distributed with respect to each share of the Company's Common Stock upon the
concurrent liquidation of the Operating Partnership and the Company or (ii) in
the event that the Operating Partnership is liquidated other than in connection
with the liquidation to the Company, an amount per Unit equal to the then market
price of a share of the Company's Common Stock; provided, however, that the
limited partners will not receive more than 99% of any proceeds available for
distribution from the liquidation of the Operating Partnership. Any remaining
liquidation proceeds will be distributed to the Company as the general partner.
 
     Redemption Right.  Pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement, each
limited partner (other than the Company) has the right, subject to certain
limitations, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of
the LP Units held by such partner for the cash equivalent of that number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to certain adjustments to prevent
dilution), or, at the option of the Company, the Company may elect to purchase
LP Units presented for redemption for an equivalent number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Each LP Unit that is purchased by the Company for shares
of Common Stock will upon such purchase be converted to a GP Unit.
 
     Management Fees and Expenses.  The Operating Partnership Agreement provides
that the Company shall be reimbursed for all expenses incurred by the Company
relating to the management and business of the Operating Partnership including
the costs and expenses of the Company in raising and maintaining capital of the
Company that the Company in good faith determines is necessary or appropriate to
be applied, raised, used or maintained for the benefit of the Operating
Partnership
 
     Amendment.  Generally, the Operating Partnership Agreement may be amended
by the general partner without the consent of limited partners, except that
certain amendments which alter or change the distribution rights or redemption
rights of a limited partner shall require the consent of a majority in interest
of the limited partners.
 
     Termination.  The Operating Partnership will continue until December 31,
2050, or upon dissolution at an earlier time for specified reasons set forth in
the Operating Partnership Agreement.
 
     The Operating Partnership Agreement provides that management and control of
the Operating Partnership is vested in the Company, which serves as the sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership. Equity ownership in the Operating
Partnership is represented by the LP Units and the GP Units. Each LP Unit is
designed to provide distributions to the holder thereof that are equal to the
distributions paid on each share of the Company's Common Stock, and each such LP
Unit is redeemable for the cash equivalent of one share of the Company's Common
Stock (subject to certain restrictions), or, at the Company's option, one share
of the Company's Common Stock.
 
ITEM 12.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     The Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act provides that a
limited partnership has the power to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or
other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject
to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its partnership
agreement.
 
     The Operating Partnership Agreement generally provides that the general
partner and any person acting on its behalf will incur no liability to the
Operating Partnership or any limited partner for any act or omission within the
scope of the general partner's authorities, provided the general partner's or
such other person's action or omission to act was taken in good faith and in the
belief that such action or omission was in the best interests of the Company and
its affiliates, and provided further, that the general partner's or such other
person's actions or omissions shall not constitute actual fraud or gross
negligence or deliberately dishonest conduct.
 
     The Operating Partnership Agreement also provides for the indemnification
of the general partner and its affiliates and any individual acting on their
behalf from any loss, damage, claim or liability, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by them by reason of any act
performed by them in accordance with the standards set forth above or in
enforcing the provisions of this indemnity.

     The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (i) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (ii) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The charter of the
Company contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law.
    
 
     The charter of the Company authorizes it, to the maximum extent permitted
by Maryland law, to obligate itself to indemnify and to pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (i) any
present or former director, officer, agent, employee or plan administrator of
the Company or of its predecessor Bradley Real Estate Trust (the "Trust") or
(ii) any individual who, at the request of the Company, serves or has served in
any of these capacities with another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise. The Bylaws of the Company
obligate it, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify (a)
any present or former director or officer of the Company, (b) any individual
who, at the request of the Company, serves or has served another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise as a director or officer
or (c) any present or former Trustee or officer of the Trust.
 
     The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which the Company's charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has
been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he is made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The MGCL
permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and
officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and
reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding
to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other
capacities unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the director
or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was
committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty, (ii) the director or officer actually received an improper personal
benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act
or omission was unlawful. However, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for
an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation. In
addition, the MGCL requires a corporation as a condition to advancing expenses,
to obtain (x) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith
belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by
the corporation as authorized by the bylaws and (y) a written statement by or on
his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
 
     The Company and the Operating Partnership have claims-made directors and
officers liability insurance policies that insure the directors and officers of
the Company including in its capacity as general partner of the Operating
Partnership against loss from claimed wrongful acts and insure the Company for
indemnifying the directors and officers against such loss. The policy limits of
liability are $10,000,000 each policy year and are subject to a retention of
$150,000 of loss by the Company.

     Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold a shopping
center, utilizing the proceeds to pay-down the line of credit, and acquired nine
shopping centers, including a portfolio of five shopping centers from one seller
for approximately $28,800,000 with cash provided by the line of credit. Three of
the remaining four shopping centers were also funded with cash provided by the
line of credit, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24,000,000.
The final property was purchased for approximately $16,300,000 through the
issuance of 478,619 limited partner units ("LP Units") and the assumption of a
$6,900,000 non-recourse mortgage note which was paid-off in full at closing with
cash drawn from the line of credit.
 
     This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet is presented as if the
acquisitions and the disposition occurring subsequent to June 30, 1997, had been
completed on June 30, 1997. In the opinion of management of the general partner,
all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions have been
made.
 
     This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet is prepared for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual
financial position of the Operating Partnership would have been at June 30,
1997, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position of the

     During the period from January 1, 1997 to June 30, 1997, the Operating
Partnership acquired five shopping centers. Three of the five shopping centers
were acquired for cash with financing provided by the bank line of credit. One
shopping center was acquired with cash provided by the line of credit and the
assumption of a $3,800,000 non-recourse mortgage note, and one shopping center
was acquired via the issuance of 281,300 limited partnership units ("LP Units").
Additionally, during such period, the Operating Partnership sold a shopping
center, utilizing the proceeds to pay-down the line of credit.
 
     Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold an additional
shopping center, utilizing the proceeds to pay-down the line of credit, and
acquired nine shopping centers, including a portfolio of five shopping centers
from one seller for approximately $28,800,000 with cash provided by the line of
credit. Three of the shopping centers were also funded with cash provided by the
line of credit, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24,000,000.
The final property was purchased for approximately $16,300,000 through the
issuance of 478,619 LP Units and the assumption of a $6,900,000 non-recourse
mortgage note which was paid-off in full at close with cash drawn from the line
of credit.
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income is presented as if
the acquisitions and the dispositions described above had been consummated on
January 1, 1996, and with the Operating Partnership qualifying as a partnership
and, therefore, incurring no federal income tax expense during the period
January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions have been
made.
 
   
     For purposes of this unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income,
"Acquisition Properties" represents those properties for which the Operating
Partnership has furnished a Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses
in accordance with Rule 3.14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation S-X. "Other Acquisition Properties" represents those individually
insignificant properties which, in the aggregate, comprise less than a majority
of the assets acquired or that were probable of being acquired by the Operating
Partnership and as such, no audited financial statements were furnished in
accordance with Rule 3.14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation
S-X.
    
 
     This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income is presented for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual
results of operations of the Operating Partnership would have been for the
period presented, nor does it purport to represent the results to be achieved in
future periods. This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income should be
read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the respective
historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Operating Partnership

EXPLANATORY NOTES
 
(A) Increase represents historical operating revenues and expenses for the six
    months ended June 30, 1997 for the properties acquired during 1997 for the
    period during which the Operating Partnership did not own such properties.
 
(B) Decrease represents the elimination of historical operating revenues and
    expenses, gains and provision for loss for the six months ended June 30,
    1997 for the properties disposed during 1997 for the period during which the
    Operating Partnership owned such properties.
 
(C) Mortgage and other interest has been increased to reflect the borrowings
    estimated for property acquisitions for the period during which the
    Operating Partnership did not own such properties, net of the reduction for
    the application of net proceeds from property dispositions to pay down the
    line of credit for the period during which the Operating Partnership owned
    such properties, at an interest rate of 7.000%, which was the Operating
    Partnership's borrowing rate at August 31, 1997. A 0.125% change in the
    variable rate would result in a change in the pro forma interest adjustment
    of approximately $36,000.

                  (COLLECTIVELY, THE "OPERATING PARTNERSHIP")
 
                    PRO FORMA CONDENSED STATEMENT OF INCOME
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
     During the period from January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997, the Operating
Partnership acquired seven shopping centers and sold one shopping center and a
ground lease. Four of the seven shopping centers were acquired for cash with
financing provided by the bank line of credit. One shopping center was acquired
with cash provided by the line of credit and the assumption of a $3,800,000
non-recourse mortgage note, and one shopping center was acquired via the
issuance of 281,300 LP Units. The sale of its interest in a ground lease was
structured as a "like-kind" exchange for federal income tax purposes, acquiring
a shopping center as a replacement property in the exchange. Since the net
proceeds from the sale were greater than the net purchase price of the property
acquired, the excess proceeds were used to pay down the line of credit.
 
     On March 15, 1996, Bradley completed the Tucker Acquisition. The
acquisition was consummated through the issuance by Bradley of approximately 7.4
million shares of its Common Stock valued at $13.96 per share, and was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. Tucker held title to all of its
properties through two partnerships; eight properties through Tucker Operating
Limited Partnership ("TOP"), in which Tucker had a 95.9% general partnership
interest, and six properties through Tucker Financing Partnership ("TFP"), a
general partnership of which TOP owned 99% and a wholly-owned Tucker corporate
subsidiary owned the remaining 1%. Upon the acquisition of Tucker, the Company
succeeded to Tucker's interest in TOP, TFP and the wholly-owned Tucker corporate
subsidiary, and the name "Bradley" was substituted for "Tucker" in each
subsidiary and partnership. In August 1997, the Company contributed its
interests in the 18 properties it held directly to the Operating Partnership,
two of which are held for sale. The Operating Partnership therefore succeeds
Bradley as the entity through which Bradley will expand its ownership and
operation of properties.
 
     Additionally, in November 1996, the Company completed a public offering of
2,875,000 shares of Common Stock (including shares issued pursuant to the
exercise of the underwriter over-allotment option) at a price of $16.50 per
share (the "November 1996 Offering"). Net proceeds from the November 1996
Offering, approximately $44,851,000 (net of offering costs of $2,618,000), were
contributed to the Operating Partnership and used to reduce outstanding
borrowings under the line of credit.
 
     Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold one shopping
center, utilizing the proceeds to pay-down the line of credit, and acquired nine
shopping centers, including a portfolio of five shopping centers from one seller
for approximately $28,800,000 with cash provided by the line of credit. Three of
the remaining four shopping centers were also funded with cash provided by the
line of credit, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24,000,000.
The final property was purchased for approximately $16,300,000 through the
issuance of 478,619 LP Units and the assumption of a $6,900,000 non-recourse
mortgage note which was paid-off in full at close with cash drawn from the line
of credit.
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income is presented as if
the November 1996 Offering, the acquisitions, the dispositions, and the
"like-kind" exchange described above had been consummated on January 1, 1996,
and as if the Tucker Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996, and with the
Operating Partnership qualifying as a partnership and, therefore, incurring no
federal income tax expense during the period January 1, 1996 through June 30,
1997. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.
 
   
     For purposes of this unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income,
"Acquisition Properties" represents those properties for which the Operating
Partnership has furnished a Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses
in accordance with Rule 3.14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation S-X. "Other Acquisition Properties" represents those individually
insignificant properties which, in the aggregate, comprise less than a majority
of the assets acquired or that were probable of being acquired

by the Operating Partnership and as such, no audited financial statements were
furnished in accordance with Rule 3.14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation S-X.
    
 
     This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income is presented for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual
results of operations of the Operating Partnership would have been for the
period presented, nor does it purport to represent the results to be achieved in
future periods. This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income should be
read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the respective
historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Operating Partnership
included in this Registration Statement.

(A) Increase represents historical operating revenues and expenses for the year
    ended December 31, 1996 for Tucker for the period preceding the Tucker
    Acquisition.
 
(B) Increase represents historical operating revenues and expenses for the year
    ended December 31, 1996 for the properties acquired during 1996 and 1997 for
    the period during which the Operating Partnership did not own such
    properties.
 
(C) Decrease represents the elimination of historical operating revenues and
    expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 for the properties disposed
    during 1996 and 1997 for the period during which the Operating Partnership
    owned such properties.

(D) Mortgage and other interest has been increased to reflect the borrowings
    estimated for property acquisitions during 1997 and 1996 for the period
    which the Operating Partnership did not own such properties, net of the
    reduction for the application of net proceeds from property dispositions
    during 1997 and 1996 and the November 1996 Offering to pay down the line of
    credit, for the period which the Operating Partnership owned such
    properties, and for the period preceding the November 1996 Offering at an
    interest rate of 7.000%, which was the Operating Partnership's borrowing
    rate at August 31, 1997. A 0.125% change in the variable rate would result
    in a change in the pro forma interest adjustment of approximately $44,000.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors of Bradley Real Estate Inc.
and Unit Holders of Bradley Operating Limited Partnership:
 
     We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Bradley Operating
Limited Partnership and Predecessor Business and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule III, Real
Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. These consolidated financial statements and
the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bradley
Operating Limited Partnership and Predecessor Business and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                  (COLLECTIVELY, THE "OPERATING PARTNERSHIP")
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
ORGANIZATION
 
     Bradley Operating Limited Partnership and its Predecessor Business (the
"Operating Partnership") is the entity through which Bradley Real Estate, Inc.
(the "Company"), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment
trust ("REIT"), conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either
directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. The objective
of the Operating Partnership is to be a dominant owner of grocery-anchored, open
air shopping centers in the Midwestern region of the United States. As used
herein, the term "Bradley Real Estate, Inc." refers also to its predecessor
Bradley Real Estate Trust, and the term "Company" or "Bradley" as used herein
refers to Bradley Real Estate, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis
(including Bradley Operating Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries) or, where
the context so requires, Bradley Real Estate, Inc. only. The term "Operating
Partnership" as used herein means Bradley Operating Limited Partnership and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, or, where the context so requires, Bradley
Operating Limited Partnership only. The Predecessor Business refers to the
accounts and operations of the Company, exclusive of operating items associated
with its existence as a public company.
 
     Bradley Real Estate, Inc., has elected to qualify as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes since its organization
in 1961. The Company believes it is the nation's oldest continually qualified
real estate investment trust. On March 15, 1996, the Company completed the
acquisition (the "Tucker Acquisition") of Tucker Properties Corporation
("Tucker"). The acquisition was consummated through the issuance by the Company
of approximately 7.4 million shares of its Common Stock valued at $13.96 per
share, and was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Tucker
held title to all of its properties through two partnerships; eight properties
through Tucker Operating Limited Partnership ("TOP"), in which Tucker had a
95.9% general partnership interest, and six properties through Tucker Financing
Partnership ("TFP"), a general partnership of which TOP owned 99% and a
wholly-owned Tucker corporate subsidiary owned the remaining 1%. Upon the
acquisition of Tucker, the Company succeeded to Tucker's interest in TOP, TFP
and the wholly-owned Tucker corporate subsidiary, and the name "Bradley" was
substituted for "Tucker" in each subsidiary and partnership. In August 1997, the
Company contributed its interests in the 18 properties it held directly to the
Operating Partnership, two of which are held for sale.
 
     The Operating Partnership therefore succeeds Bradley as the entity through
which the Company will expand its ownership and operation of properties
primarily located in the Midwestern region of the country.
 
     At August 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership owned, directly or
indirectly, 44 properties aggregating over 8.6 million square feet of rentable
space, substantially all of which are located in Midwest markets, making the
Operating Partnership one of the leading owners and operators of community and
neighborhood shopping centers in this region. The portfolio of properties owned
by the Operating Partnership has approximately 1,000 tenants, with no single
tenant accounting for more than 6.5% of gross revenues. The majority of the
properties have been constructed or renovated within the past five to eight
years. As of August 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership's portfolio was
approximately 93% occupied. (Properties owned by the Operating Partnership from
time to time are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a "Property"
and collectively referred to as the "Properties" or the "Portfolio.")
 
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.
 
     The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include
the accounts and operations of the Operating Partnership, Bradley Financing
Partnership, and the general partnership interest in the joint venture that owns
Williamson Square Shopping Center. Due to the Operating Partnership's ability as
general partner to directly or indirectly control each of these subsidiaries,
each is consolidated for financial reporting purposes.
 
  Rents and Other Receivables
 
     Management has determined that all of the Operating Partnership's leases
with its various tenants are operating leases. Revenues for such leases are
recognized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the leases.
 
  Real Estate Investments
 
     Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The provision for depreciation and amortization has been calculated using the
straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives of assets:
 
<TABLE>
        <S>                                                          <C>
        Buildings................................................      31.5 -- 39 years
        Improvements and alterations.............................         2 -- 39 years
</TABLE>
 
     Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not
materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations
as incurred and amounted to $2,056,000, $874,000, and $626,000 for 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
 
     Additions and betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the
properties are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost
and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in net income.
 
     Real estate investments include capitalized interest and other costs on
significant construction in progress. Capitalized costs are included in the cost
of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the
asset's estimated useful life. Interest capitalized amounted to $150,000,
$137,000, and $89,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
     Management reviews each property for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be
recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying
value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the
carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated fair value.
 
     On March 31, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
("Statement No. 121"). This Statement provides guidance for recognition and
measurement of impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles
and goodwill related both to assets to be held and used and assets to be
disposed of.
 
     Statement No. 121 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. Thus, the Operating Partnership adopted
Statement No. 121 as of January 1, 1996. Adoption of Statement No. 121 had no
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Operating
Partnership.

  Real Estate Investments Held for Sale
 
     Real estate investments held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or
the fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended
during the sale period.
 
  Cash Equivalents
 
     Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term
investments with original maturities of less than ninety days.
 
  Derivative Transactions
 
     The Operating Partnership may enter into derivative financial instrument
transactions in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial
instrument. The Operating Partnership has designated these derivative financial
instruments as hedges and applies deferral accounting, as the instrument to be
hedged exposes the Operating Partnership to interest rate risk and the
derivative financial instrument reduces that exposure. Gains and losses related
to the derivative financial instrument are deferred and amortized over the terms
of the hedged instrument. If a derivative terminates or is sold, the gain or
loss is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the derivative.
Derivatives that do not satisfy the criteria above are carried at market value,
and any changes in market value are recognized in other income. The Operating
Partnership has only entered into derivative transactions that satisfy the
aforementioned criteria.
 
  Deferred Charges
 
     A majority of deferred charges consist of agency commissions incurred in
leasing the Operating Partnership's properties. Such charges are amortized using
the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. In addition,
deferred charges include costs incurred in connection with securing long-term
debt, including the costs of entering into interest rate protection agreements.
Such costs are amortized over the terms of the related agreements.
 
  Earnings Per Unit
 
     The Operating Partnership's LP Units are exchangeable for shares of Bradley
Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, the number of Bradley common
shares outstanding during periods prior to the Tucker Acquisition are equivalent
to Units of the Predecessor Business, and the number of Units outstanding during
periods subsequent to the Tucker Acquisition are equivalent to the number of
outstanding shares of Bradley Common Stock plus the number of outstanding LP
Units. Earnings per Unit are based on the weighted average number of Units
outstanding during each year exclusive of outstanding Bradley stock options
(common unit equivalents), which would not materially affect earnings per common
unit. Per Unit data and weighted average Units outstanding as reported on the
accompanying financial statements for 1994 reflect a one-for-two reverse Bradley
share split effected on October 17, 1994.
 
  Stock Option Plans
 
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("Statement No. 123"). Statement No. 123 establishes financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans.
This includes all arrangements by which employees receive shares of stock or
other equity instruments of the employer or the employer incurs liabilities to
employees in amounts based on the price of the employer's stock. Statement No.
123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option
or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that method of
accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also
allows an entity to continue to measure compensation

cost using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("Opinion No. 25"). The Operating Partnership elected to continue
using Opinion No. 25 and make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings
per Unit as if the fair value method of accounting defined in Statement No. 123
had been applied. See Note 8 for the required disclosures.
 
  Unaudited Interim Periods
 
     The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the
Operating Partnership, without audit, and in the opinion of management reflect
all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results
for the unaudited interim period presented. Certain information in footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
 
NOTE 2 -- SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE
 
     In January 1997, a property was purchased for approximately $5.4 million
which included the issuance of 281,300 LP Units which the holders may ultimately
exchange for 281,300 shares of Bradley's common stock, valued on such date at
$18.375 per share.
 
     Also in January 1997, a property was purchased for approximately $4.8
million which included the Operating Partnership's assumption of a $3.8 million
non-recourse mortgage note.
 
     The merger acquisition of Tucker on March 15, 1996 resulted in the

1996, resulted in a decrease in other net operating assets of $1,649,000 and the
assumption of net operating liabilities of $173,000.
 
     During 1996, 3,738 shares of Bradley Common Stock were issued upon the
conversion of an equivalent number of LP Units held by the limited partners.
 
     In 1995, Bradley issued 325,000 shares of Common Stock having a value of
$4,916,000 in connection with the acquisition of the REIT advisory business of
its former advisor. The business, consisting of a nominal amount of office
equipment and information systems, was contributed to the Operating Partnership.
 
     In 1995, a property was purchased for $5,261,000 which included the
assumption of $2,094,000 in non-recourse mortgages.
 
     In 1994, a property was purchased for $7,496,000 which included the
assumption of $4,980,000 in non-recourse mortgages.

     During the first half of 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired five
shopping centers in separate transactions for a total purchase price of
approximately $26.5 million and sold one property that had been held for sale
for a net sales price of approximately $11.3 million. Subsequent to June 30,
1997, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of a portfolio of five
shopping centers located in Illinois and Iowa for approximately $28.8 million
and four additional shopping centers located in Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Missouri in separate transactions for approximately $40.3 million.
 
     Financings for the five shopping center acquisitions completed during the
first half of 1997 included $17,500,000 in cash provided by the line of credit,
the assumption of a $3,800,000 non-recourse mortgage note, and $5,200,000 via
the issuance of 281,300 LP Units to the former owners of a shopping center.
Financing for the nine properties acquired subsequent to June 30, 1997 included
$60,000,000 drawn from the line of credit

(including amounts used to pay-off at closing an assumed $6,900,000 non-recourse
mortgage) and $9,000,000 through the issuance of 478,619 LP Units to the former
owners of a shopping center.
 
     As of June 30, 1997, three properties -- Village Shopping Center, Augusta
Plaza and 585 Boylston Street -- were held for sale. The net book value of the
three properties, $10.0 million, has been reclassified on the balance sheet from
"Real estate investments" to "Real estate investments held for sale." The sales
of these properties are expected to be completed during 1997. The properties
held for sale are no longer depreciated for financial reporting purposes. The
balance as of December 31, 1996, $10.3 million, included Hood Commons, located
in Derry, New Hampshire, which was sold in March 1997, and did not include
Village Shopping Center, which was not placed for sale until 1997.
 
     As of June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership recorded a provision for
loss on its investment in Meadows Town Mall, located in Rolling Meadows,
Illinois. While undertaking a redevelopment plan for the Center, the Operating
Partnership received an unsolicited offer from a prospective purchaser of the
property. Management accepted the offer with the intention of redeploying
proceeds from the sale toward the acquisition of another property or properties.
The provision of $1,300,000 represents the difference between the sales price,
net of closing costs, and the carrying value of the property. The property was
reclassified as held for sale on July 1, 1997. The sale was completed in August
1997.
 
     Net proceeds of approximately $17,200,000 in the aggregate from the sales
of Hood Commons, and from the sale of Meadows Town Mall, were used to pay-down
the line of credit.

     The net book value of real estate pledged as collateral for loans was
approximately $214,192,000 (see Note 3). The mortgage loans collateralized by
Richfield Hub Shopping Center and Hub West Shopping Center are
cross-collateralized.
 
     In connection with the Tucker Acquisition, the Operating Partnership
assumed the obligations under a $100 million mortgage note with a fair value of
$100,300,000 at the date of acquisition. The mortgage note is collateralized by
Commons of Crystal Lake, Heritage Square, Sheridan Village, Speedway SuperCenter
(excluding Outlots), Washington Lawndale Commons and One North State. The
mortgage note was issued to a trust qualifying as a real estate mortgage
investment conduit for federal income tax purposes (the "REMIC

Note"). Pursuant to terms of the indenture governing the REMIC Note, prior to
October 1997, principal payments on the REMIC Note cannot be made and the
properties collateralizing the REMIC Note cannot be sold. If the Operating
Partnership wishes either to repay all or part of the $100 million principal of
the REMIC Note or to sell any of the properties collateralizing the REMIC Note
after such date, the Operating Partnership will incur significant prepayment
penalties. The prepayment of principal of the REMIC Note requires an additional
payment of the greater of either (i) 1% of the amount of principal being prepaid
or (ii) the product of (A) the difference between the outstanding principal
balance of the REMIC Note before prepayment and the present value of all
remaining interest and principal payments thereon and (B) the amount of
principal being prepaid divided by the outstanding principal balance of the
REMIC Note. After October 1997, in order to release any of the properties
collateralizing the REMIC Note from the lien, the REMIC indenture requires that
certain additional conditions be met, including that (i) the aggregate amount of
principal repaid on the REMIC Note equals at least 125% of the amount of
principal allocated to the property to be released and (ii) certain debt service
coverage ratios continue to be satisfied.
 
     On March 15, 1996, the Operating Partnership entered into a new $150
million unsecured revolving credit facility with The First National Bank of
Boston and other bank lenders, replacing a previous $65 million line of credit
that had been secured by a blanket mortgage on six properties. The new line bore
interest at a rate equal to the lower of the bank's base rate or 1.75% over
LIBOR. Additionally, the facility stipulated a commitment fee ranging from
0.125% to 0.250% per annum of the unfunded line of credit balance depending on
the outstanding balance during a calendar quarter. The rates available under the
line would become more favorable in the event that certain loan-to-value tests
were met or the Operating Partnership received an investment grade unsecured
debt rating. At December 31, 1996, the weighted average interest rate on the
line of credit was 7.51%. In addition to replacing outstanding borrowings under
the Operating Partnership's and Tucker's previously outstanding secured lines of
credit, the facility is available for the acquisition, development, renovation
and expansion of new and existing properties and for other working capital
purposes.
 
     The line of credit contains certain financial and operational covenants
that, among other provisions, limit the amount of secured and unsecured
indebtedness the Operating Partnership may have outstanding at any time, and
provide for the maintenance of certain financial tests including minimum net
worth and debt service coverage requirements. The Operating Partnership believes
that such covenants will not adversely affect the Operating Partnership's
business or the operation of its properties.
 
     In March 1997, the Operating Partnership amended the line of credit
facility, extending the maturity date to March 15, 1999, and reducing the
interest rate to the lower of the bank's base rate or 1.50% over LIBOR. The
amended line of credit agreement also provides more flexible covenants compared
with the previous agreement.
 
     In August 1997, Standard & Poor's Investment Services, a national credit
rating agency, announced that it assigned an investment grade corporate credit
rating of "BBB-" to the Operating Partnership. As a result, the interest rate on
the line of credit was further reduced to the lower of the bank's base rate or
1.375% over LIBOR, in accordance with the line of credit agreement, representing
a decrease in the interest margin on the line of credit of 0.375% from the rate
in effect at December 31, 1996.
 
     In order to reduce the Operating Partnership's (and thus the lenders')
exposure to the risks associated with floating rate debt, the line of credit
requires that the Operating Partnership maintain interest rate protection, at a
rate satisfactory to the lead lender, with respect to at least $100 million of
indebtedness. The Operating Partnership uses interest rate caps and swaps to
limit its exposure to increases in interest rates on its floating rate debt. The
Operating Partnership does not use them for trading or speculative purposes.

     At December 31, 1996, the Operating Partnership was party to interest rate
cap agreements which entitle the Operating Partnership to receive on a quarterly
basis, the amount, if any, by which the applicable three-month LIBOR Rate (as
defined in the interest rate protection agreement) for the protected amount
exceeds the applicable cap rate for the protected amount. The Operating
Partnership was also party to a swap agreement whereby the Operating Partnership
receives or makes quarterly payments based on the differential between the
three-month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the interest rate protection agreement)
for the protected amount and the applicable fixed swap rate for the protected
amount.
 
     The following summarizes the interest rate protection agreements

     The fair values of the interest rate protection agreements are estimated
using option-pricing models that value the potential for the interest rate
protection agreements to become in-the-money through changes in interest rates
during the remaining terms of the agreements. The negative fair value represents
the estimated amount the Operating Partnership would have to pay to cancel the
contract or transfer it to other parties. The aggregate unamortized cost of the
interest rate protection agreements was $195,000 at December 31, 1996.

     Total minimum future rentals do not include contingent rentals under
certain leases based upon lessees' sales volume. Contingent rentals earned
amounted to approximately $1,397,000, $1,083,000, and $1,121,000 in 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. Certain leases also require lessees to pay all or a
portion of real estate taxes and operating costs, amounting to $21,748,000,
$10,774,000, and $9,259,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
     No tenant accounted for as much as 10% of rental income in 1996, 1995 or
1994. One North State accounted for more than 10% of the Operating Partnership's
rental income during 1996.
 
NOTE 6 -- FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
     The Operating Partnership is not liable for federal income taxes and each
partner reports its allocable share of income and deductions on its respective
return; accordingly no provision for income taxes is required in the
consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 7 -- PARTNERS' CAPITAL
 
     In general, the Operating Partnership Agreement provides for operating
distributions to be made, subject to any priority distribution rights of any
class or series of Preferred Units, first to the limited partners in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) 99% of the cash available for distribution from the
Operating Partnership and (ii) an amount calculated in a manner intended to
provide the limited partners with distributions on each of their LP Units equal
to the dividend paid for the same period on a share of the Company's Common
Stock. Any remaining cash from operations available for distribution will be
distributed to the Company as general partner. Subject to any priority
distribution rights of any class or series of Preferred Units, the Operating
Partnership Agreement generally provides for liquidating distributions to the
limited partners equal to either (i) an amount per Unit intended to equal the
amount distributed with respect to each share of the Company's Common Stock upon
the concurrent liquidation of the Operating Partnership and the Company or (ii)
in the event that the Operating Partnership is liquidated other than in
connection with the liquidation to the Company, an amount per Unit equal to the
then market price of a share of the Company's Common Stock; provided, however,
that the limited partners will not receive more than 99% of any proceeds
available for distribution from the liquidation of the Operating Partnership.
Any remaining liquidation proceeds will be distributed to the Company as the
general partner. Income, gains, and losses are allocated to the partners holding
Units in proportion to their ownership interests during the period.
 
     In January 1995, Bradley issued 325,000 shares of Common Stock in
conjunction with the purchase of the REIT advisory business of its former
advisor. The business, consisting of a nominal amount of office equipment and
information systems, was contributed to the Operating Partnership. Additionally,
the employees of the advisory business became employees of Bradley. In April
1995, Bradley issued 182,500 shares of Common Stock at a price of $17 per share,
which proceeds were applied to the acquisition of St. Francis Plaza, which
property was contributed to the Operating Partnership. In July 1995, Bradley
completed a public share offering of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $16 per share. Net proceeds from the offering of approximately $37,405,000
(net of offering costs of approximately $2,595,000), were contributed to the
Operating Partnership and were used to pay-down the bank line of credit and
mortgage notes that had been assumed in connection with the purchase of certain
properties.
 
     In November 1996, Bradley completed a public offering of 2,875,000 shares
of Common Stock (including shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the
underwriter over-allotment option) at a price of $16.50 per share. Net proceeds
from the offering, approximately $44,851,000 (net of offering costs of
$2,618,000) were contributed to the Operating Partnership and were used to
reduce outstanding indebtedness incurred under the line of credit.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     Under Bradley's Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan in effect
since 1993, share owners of record owning at least 100 shares may elect to
reinvest cash dividends and make limited additional cash payments (minimum $100,
maximum $2,500 per quarter) to purchase newly issued Bradley shares without
brokerage fees or other transaction costs, at a 3% discount from market prices
(as determined in the Plan). During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Bradley issued 13,082,
16,714, and 8,530 shares, respectively, under this Plan. The net proceeds
resulting from these transactions were contributed to the Operating Partnership.
 
     The capital contributions arising from the transactions described in this
Note result in the issuance to Bradley of general partner Units (which are not
convertible) ("GP Units") in amounts equal to the number of shares issued by
Bradley in each respective transaction.
 
NOTE 8 -- STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     Bradley is obligated to contribute to the Operating Partnership all
proceeds from the exercise of options or other stock-based awards granted under
Bradley's Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and Bradley's interest as general
partner in the Operating Partnership evidenced by GP Units will be adjusted so
as to increase the number of GP Units by a number equivalent to the number of
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to awards under the Plan. The Plan
authorizes options and other stock-based awards for up to 5% of Bradley's shares
outstanding from time to time. During 1996 and 1995, options for 17,500 and
217,500 shares, respectively, were granted under this Plan. All of the options
granted in 1996 were pursuant to an amendment to the Plan approved by the share
owners that year, which provides for an annual option grant for 2,500 shares to
each non-employee director at an exercise price equal to the fair market value
of the subject shares at the date of grant. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
options for 180,000 and 295,251 shares, respectively, remained outstanding under
this and a prior stock option plan.
 
     A committee of Bradley's Board of Directors administers the Plan and is
responsible for selecting persons eligible for awards and for determining the
terms and duration of any award.
 
     Bradley has estimated the fair value of each option granted on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995, respectively: dividend
yield of 8.96% and 8.87%; expected volatility of 23% and 18%; risk-free interest
rates of 6.1% for both years; and expected lives of five years for both years.
Bradley applies Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for
awards under the Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost relating to the stock
option plans has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Had
compensation cost for the Plan been determined consistent with Statement No.
123, net income and earnings per Unit would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

     All options outstanding at December 31, 1996 are fully vested and
exercisable and have a duration of ten years from the date of grant, subject to
earlier termination in certain circumstances. The weighted average exercise
price per share and the weighted average contractual life of options outstanding
at December 31, 1996 were $15.65 and 6.90 years, respectively. The weighted
average fair value of options granted during 1996 and 1995 approximates the
exercise prices for such options on the date of grant.
 
NOTE 9 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires the Operating Partnership to
disclose fair value information of all financial instruments, whether or not
recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair
value.
 
     The Operating Partnership's financial instruments, other than debt and
interest rate protection agreements for the Operating Partnership's line of
credit, are generally short-term in nature and contain minimal credit risk.
These instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, rents and other
receivables, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these assets and
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets are assumed to be at fair value.
 
     Mortgage loans are at fixed rates, and when compared with borrowing rates
currently available to the Operating Partnership with similar terms and average
maturities, approximate fair value. The line of credit is at a variable rate,
which results in a carrying value that approximates its fair value. The fair
values of the interest rate protection agreements and methodologies for
determining their fair values are described in Note 4.
 
NOTE 10 -- PRO FORMA INFORMATION
 
     On March 15, 1996, Bradley closed the merger acquisition of Tucker. The
acquisition was completed through the issuance of 7.4 million shares of Bradley
Common Stock valued at $13.96 per share, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
shares of Tucker, payment of certain transaction costs and the assumption of all
of Tucker's liabilities. The Tucker share owners received .686 of a share of
Bradley for each outstanding Tucker share. The acquisition was structured as a
tax-free transaction, and was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets
purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair values at the date of
acquisition. The excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed over the purchase price was not material. Such excess was allocated to
reduce proportionately, the values assigned to the properties acquired.

NOTE 12 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
   
     On August 21, 1997, the Operating Partnership entered into a Treasury Rate
Lock transaction with a notional amount of $37.1 million, expiring November 26,
1997, in anticipation of issuing up to $100 million in ten-year notes during the
fourth quarter of 1997. The Treasury Rate Lock was structured to fix the
interest rate on a ten-year Treasury starting November 26, 1997, at
approximately 6.305%. Also on August 21, 1997, the Operating Partnership entered
into an additional Treasury Rate Lock transaction, with a notional amount of
$16.0 million, also expiring November 26, 1997, in anticipation of issuing up to
$50 million in seven-year notes during the fourth quarter of 1997. The Treasury
Rate Lock was structured to fix the interest rate on an interpolated seven-year
Treasury at approximately 6.25%. The proceeds of these financing transactions
are anticipated to be used to prepay existing outstanding indebtedness of the
Operating Partnership, including prepayment of the $100 million REMIC Note. The
Operating Partnership may continue to limit its exposure to increases in
interest rates in anticipation of future financing transactions through the use
of additional Treasury Rate Locks or other financial derivative instruments.
There can be no assurance, however, that the existing Treasury Rate Locks or
future derivative transactions entered into for the purpose of hedging interest
rate risk will be effective. On October 24, 1997, the Operating Partnership gave
the REMIC Trustee notice of its intent to repay the REMIC Note on November 26,
1997. Concurrently with the delivery of such notice, the Operating Partnership
entered into a standby commitment with First National Bank of Chicago for a $105
million line of credit, which the Operating Partnership may use to repay the
REMIC Note on November 26, 1997 in the event that the contemplated sale of
investment grade debt securities has not been consummated by such date.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors of Bradley Real Estate Inc.
and Unit Holders of Bradley Operating Limited Partnership:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain
expenses (defined as operating revenues less direct operating expenses) of the
Acquisition Properties for the year ended December 31, 1996. This combined
financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this combined financial statement
based on our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined statement of revenues and
certain expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
statement of revenues and certain expenses. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined statement of revenues and
certain expenses. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
     The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and for inclusion in the Registration
Statement on Form 10 of Bradley Operating Limited Partnership as described in
note 2. The presentation is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Acquisition Properties' revenues and expenses.
 
     In our opinion, the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses
presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain
expenses, described in note 2, of the Acquisition Properties for the year ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES --
                                  (CONTINUED)
 
(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
   
     The Combined Statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with
Rule 3.14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X in a current
report on Form 8-K and for inclusion in the Registration Statement on Form 10 of
Bradley Operating Limited Partnership and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Acquisition Properties revenues and expenses. The Combined
Statement has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and requires
management of the Acquisition Properties to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
    
 
     Certain expenses which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be
incurred in the proposed future operations of the Acquisition Properties have
been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of interest, depreciation and
amortization, professional fees, and management fees.
 
  Unaudited Interim Periods
 
     The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the
Operating Partnership, without audit, and in the opinion of management reflect
all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results
for the unaudited interim period presented. Certain information in footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
 
(3) REVENUES
 
     Each property leases retail space under various lease agreements with its
tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain of the leases
include provisions under which the property is reimbursed for certain common
area, real estate, and insurance costs. Operating expenses and real estate tax
recoveries reflected on the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses
include amounts due for 1996 expenses for which the tenants have not yet been
billed. In addition, certain leases provide for payment of contingent rentals
based on a percentage applied to the amount by which the tenant s sales, as
defined, exceed predetermined levels. Certain leases contain renewal options for
various periods at various rental rates.
 
   
     Base rentals are reported as income over the lease term as they become
receivable under the provisions of the leases. However, when rentals vary from a
straight-line basis due to short-term rent abatements or escalating rents during
the lease term, the income is recognized based on effective rental rates.
Related adjustments increased base rental income by approximately $54,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1996.
    
 
     Minimum rents to be received from tenants under operating leases in effect
at December 31, 1996 are approximately as follows:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Tucker Properties Corporation:
 
     We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Tucker Properties
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Tucker Properties Corporation management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     As discussed in Note 11, the Company has entered into a merger agreement,
subject to shareholder ratification, that if approved, would result in the
Company being merged with and into Bradley Real Estate, Inc.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tucker
Properties Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  Organization
 
     Tucker Properties Corporation (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, was
formed May 28, 1993. The Company completed a public offering of 10,720,000
shares of common stock and through a wholly-owned subsidiary issued $100,000,000
of mortgage notes payable (see Note 3) as of October 12, 1993 (the "Public
Offering"). The Company is the successor entity to The Tucker Companies Inc.
("Tucker"), its affiliates and related real estate entities (together the
"Predecessor Business") and is engaged in the management, operation, leasing,
acquisition, development, investment in and disposition of neighborhood,
community and regional shopping centers. The Company also owns and operates a
mid-rise urban mixed-use office and retail building and provides services for
shopping centers owned by third parties and affiliates.
 
     The owners and certain employees of the Predecessor Business (the
"Predecessor Business Owners" or "Tucker Investors") who were general and
limited partners in the entities contributed their properties to an operating
partnership, Tucker Operating Limited Partnership ("TOLP"), at the time of the
public offering. The Predecessor Business Owners received 567,000 operating
partnership units ("OP Units") in return for the properties contributed to TOLP.
The OP Units are convertible into common shares of the Company on a one-for-one
basis. Kenneth Tucker, Chairman of the Company, immediately converted 108,183 OP
Units into shares of the Company's common stock. After such conversion, there
are 10,828,283 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and the
Predecessor Business Owners hold 458,817 OP Units or approximately 4.1% of the
OP Units outstanding. The Company then purchased the sole general partner
interest of approximately 95.9% in TOLP utilizing the proceeds of the Public
Offering. The Company has operated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
and operations of the Company, TOLP, Tucker Financing Partnership ("TFP"), and
its general partnership interest in the joint venture that owns Williamson
Square Shopping Center which is held through TOLP. Due to the Company's ability
as general partner to directly or indirectly control each of these subsidiaries,
each is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. TOLP and TFP together own
six properties formerly held by the Predecessor Business, the three properties
formerly held as equity investments, one property acquired at the time of the
Public Offering, two properties acquired in December 1993, one property acquired
in June 1994 and a property still under development, a portion of which was
opened in 1995.
 
     The Company provides leasing and management services to third parties
through its affiliate, Tucker Management Limited Partnership ("TMLP"). The
Company holds a 40% limited partnership interest in TMLP and Tucker Management
Corp. ("TMC") holds a 60% general partnership interest. TOLP owns 8% of the
voting common stock and 95% of the nonvoting preferred stock of TMC and Kenneth
and Richard Tucker own 92% of the voting common stock and 5% of the nonvoting
preferred stock. The Company accounts for its interests in TMLP and TMC on the
equity basis with its income from TMLP and TMC included in "Other Income" on the
Statements of Operations.
 
     All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Company
and its consolidated affiliates have been eliminated.
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Nature of Business
 
     Tucker Properties Corporation is engaged in the ownership and operation of
thirteen community shopping centers which serve neighborhood and community
markets in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee

and Wisconsin, and one mixed-use property in Chicago, Illinois. Property retail
tenants typically sell day-to-day and value-oriented merchandise rather than
high-priced luxury items. While no one tenant generates more than 11% of the
Company's total rental revenue, the Company remains susceptible to the level of
retail sales and the general business conditions and failures of its tenants.
Significant reduction of sales could prove to have a material affect on the
tenant's ability to maintain financial stability which could lead to a default
of their leases.
 
  Estimates and Assumptions
 
     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of continent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may vary from those estimates.
 
  Properties
 
     Properties are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Costs are
capitalized as incurred for the acquisition, development, construction and
improvement of properties. Interest and real estate taxes incurred during,
construction are capitalized and amortized on the same basis as the related
assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
     Depreciation expense is computed principally using the straight line method
over the original estimated useful lives:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                           <C>
Buildings...................  31.5 years
Improvements................  shorter of lease term or useful life
</TABLE>
 
     In 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" was issued. SFAS No. 121, which establishes accounting standards
for the evaluation of potential impairment of such assets, was adopted by the
Company as of January 1, 1995, and did not have a material impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company. Properties are
evaluated for impairment when conditions exist, but not less than annually,
which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future
undiscounted cash flows from a property are less than its cost. Upon
determination that a permanent impairment has occurred. properties are reduced
to their fair value.
 
  Deferred Costs
 
     Deferred costs, consisting principally of financing fees and leasing
commissions, are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.
 
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures about the fair value
of financial instruments whether or not such instruments are recognizable in the
balance sheet. The Company's financial instruments include cash equivalents,
tenant accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, mortgage
notes payable, and line of credit. The fair values of these financial
instruments were not materially different from their carrying or contract
values.

  Revenue Recognition
 
     Minimum rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the related leases. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the deferred and unbilled
rents included in tenant accounts receivable approximated $7,315,000 and
$6,903,000, respectively. Additional rents from expense reimbursements for
common area maintenance expenses and certain other expenses are recognized in
the period in which the related expenses are incurred. Percentage rent is
recognized on the accrual basis based on reported tenant sales. Percentage rent
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $898,000 and
$614,000, respectively.
 
     Beginning in 1995, the Company began establishing an unallocated general
reserve to supplement specific reserves previously established. As a result of
recording this general reserve, the Company recognized bad debt expense of
$366,464 in 1995. Accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets are
shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $472,464 and $106,000 as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all demand and money market accounts with an original
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The
carrying amount of these items approximates their fair value due to the short
maturity of these investments.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company has operated as a REIT during 1995 and 1994 under the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended. As such, no federal or state income taxes are payable
by the Company and none have been provided for in the financial statements.
 
  Minority Interests
 
     The Predecessor Business Owners own an approximate 4.1% limited partnership
interest in TOLP, which either directly or through subsidiaries, owns and
operates the properties and other activities of the Company. TOLP owns a 99%
general partnership interest in TFP and the other 1% general partnership
interest in TFP is held by Tucker Financing Corporation ("TFC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. TOLP owns a 60% general partnership interest in the
joint venture that owns Williamson Square Shopping Center. The minority
interests included in the accompanying statements include the Predecessor
Business Owners' approximate 4.1% interest in TOLP and the minority partner's
40% interest in Williamson Square Shopping Center, which interests reflect the
contributions and distributions of capital or cash flows and profit or loss
allocations attributed to the respective minority owners.
 
  Construction In Progress
 
     Under the terms of a redevelopment agreement with the Village of Chicago
Ridge, in 1995 the Company received title to certain land and a commitment from
the village to fund certain demolition and improvement costs related to the
land. The agreement requires the Company to develop the land to include retail
space and related parking. Costs in excess of funds committed by the village
will be paid by the Company. The land, as improved, has been recorded in
construction in progress at December 31, 1995 at its estimated fair value of
$1.6 million and the related revenue resulting from such contribution has been
deferred and will be amortized over the initial non-cancelable twenty-year term
of the land lease with the property's initial tenant.
 
     The Company capitalizes all costs incurred during development (including
but not limited to real estate taxes, insurance and interest) until the project
is completed. Construction in progress also includes a portion of the Rollins
Crossing property (approximately $.3 million) which is under development at
December 31, 1995

and certain of the Speedway Outlots (approximately $1.1 million) which are being
held for future development.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously presented 1994
financial statements to conform with the 1995 financial statement presentation.
These reclassifications did not change the 1994 operating results.
 
(3) MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
 
     As part of the Public Offering, TFP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, issued mortgage notes in the principal amount of $100.0 million. In
June 1994, TFP exchanged the original mortgage notes for mortgage notes of equal
principal amounts, which were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June
1, 1994 between TFP, Bankers Trust Company, as initial servicer, and Bankers
Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee. At the same time, Kidder, Peabody
Acceptance Corporation I sold six classes of pass-through certificates
evidencing the entire beneficial ownership interest of a trust fund consisting
primarily of the mortgage notes and related instruments evidencing the lender's
security interest in the related collateral. The mortgage notes mature in
September 2000 and require monthly interest-only payments at 7.3% per annum. The
mortgage notes are recourse only to the assets of TFP and are collateralized by
separate cross-collateralized, cross-defaulted first mortgage liens on each of
the properties owned by TFP (Commons of Crystal Lake, Heritage Square, Sheridan
Village, Speedway SuperCenter, Washington-Lawndale Commons and One North State)
and by an assignment of all of TFP's interest in the rents and the leases at
each of these properties.

     Principal payments on the above described mortgage notes in each of the
five years subsequent to December 1, 1995 are approximately as follows:
 
<TABLE>
            <S>                                                      <C>

     Management has determined that the year-end carrying amounts of these
mortgage notes payable approximate their fair value given their terms and
maturities and the current rates available in the market to the Company for
comparable debt.
 
(4) LINE OF CREDIT
 
     TOLP has established a revolving line of credit with The First National
Bank of Boston ("FNBB") for a total commitment of $48.0 million. As of December
31, 1995 and 1994, approximately $44.2 and $38.9 million respectively, had been
drawn on the line of credit. In addition, approximately $.579 million is
restricted to support a letter of credit which was issued in conjunction with
the Rollins Crossing development. Under the original agreement, interest only
was payable to the initial maturity on December 21, 1995. Interest is calculated
at the FNBB base rate plus .5% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25% as selected by
TOLP subject to certain restrictions. The interest rate on these borrowings at
December 31, 1995 was 8.19%. In addition to interest, an annual facility fee
shall be paid equal to .25% times the difference between the total commitment
and the outstanding line balance. Under the original agreement, the maturity
date could have been extended three years to December 21, 1999 subject to
certain conditions including the payment of an extension fee equal to .5% of the
outstanding line balance at initial maturity with monthly principal payments
required equal to 1/300th of the prior month's outstanding principal balance. On
December 21, 1995, the agreement was amended to provide for an initial extension
to June 30, 1996 requiring interest only through such date. If this line of
credit cannot be renewed or replaced with another financing source, there may be
a disruptive effect on the operations of the Company. The Company paid an
extension fee of $62,500 and is obligated to pay an additional $62,500 unless
the line is repaid prior to March 31, 1996. The line of credit is collateralized
by the assets of TOLP. Borrowings under the line of credit are subject to
certain covenants the most restrictive of which require minimum tangible net
worth and working capital levels. Management has determined that the year-end
carrying amount drawn on the line of credit approximates the fair value of such
borrowings given the terms and maturity and the current rates available in the
market to the Company for comparable debt.
 
     As of December 31, 1995 the Company was in default of one of the financial
covenants for the line of credit. Subsequent to year-end, the Company received a
waiver from FNBB waiving the default of this covenant through March 31, 1996
subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions.
 
(5) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
     TMLP earns income from third party management and leasing contracts. Under
the terms of the management contract relating to Washington Square Mall ("WSM"),
which is owned by affiliates of Tucker, TMLP earned management and leasing fees
totalling approximately $216,000 in 1995 and approximately $473,000 in 1994. The
management contract relating to WSM ceased in September 1995. In addition, the
Company previously had an option to acquire One Schaumburg Place ("OSP") but did
not exercise the option as the property did not meet the Company's investment
criteria. In March 1995, OSP was taken back by the mortgage holder and
concurrently therewith, the Company lost its purchase option and TMLP lost its
management and leasing contracts. Under the terms of the management contract
relating to OSP, TLMLP

earned management and leasing fees totalling approximately $37,000 in 1995 and
approximately $232,000 in 1994.
 
     The income allocable to the Company from its equity interests in TMLP and
TMC, aggregating $8,746 in 1995 and $168,876 in 1994, were recorded in Other
income in the 1995 and 1994 Statement of Operations, respectively.

     Minimum future rentals do not include amounts which may be received from
certain tenants based upon a percentage of their gross sales or as a
reimbursement of property operating expenses.
 
     One major tenant individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
total rental revenue for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. In

December 31, 1995 was generated by the lease of one tenant at One North State.
The lease does not contain renewal options and the tenant has the right to
cancel the lease as of April 1, 1998, provided it gives notice by April 1, 1996,
pays all rent as it becomes due for the period April 1, 1996 to March 31, 1998,
and pays a specified cancellation fee of $1.8 million on April 1, 1996 to be
utilized for subsequent tenants' improvements. This tenant has indicated that is
will move out of this space prior to the expiration of the lease, but has not
yet specified whether or not it will exercise its early termination right.

     Amortization of financing costs charged to expense in 1995 and 1994 was
$798,146 and $733,601, respectively, while amortization of leasing commissions
charged to expense in 1995 and 1994 was $450,368 and $463,366, respectively. The
amortization of other costs in 1995 and 1994 was $147,149 and $81,031,
respectively.
 
(8) SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE
 
     During 1994, $369,597 in pre-development costs associated with Rollins
Crossing were reclassified from other assets to construction in progress. This
reclassification had a non-cash effect on the Company's balance sheet. Also
during 1994, tenant improvement costs of $1,139,863 were funded from the tenant
improvement escrow which is classified as Other assets. This amount has been
offset against the additions to properties in the 1994 Statement of Cash Flows.
 
     During 1995, approximately $6.9 million of assets placed in service at
Rollins Crossing and Speedway Outlots were reclassified from construction in
progress to land, building and improvements. This reclassification had a
non-cash effect on the Company's balance sheet.

(9) STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     The Company has adopted the 1993 Share Option Plan (the "Plan") for the
purpose of attracting and retaining the Company's directors, officers and other
employees. Originally, a maximum of 560,000 shares was reserved for issuance
under the Plan to allow for the grant of incentive and non-qualified options and
for the right of an option holder to elect to receive in cash or shares an
amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject to an
incentive or non-qualified option over the exercise price of the shares, which
right can be exercised instead of (but not in addition to) its relative
incentive or non-qualified option.
 
     Options are to be granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of grant. The term of the option shall be fixed by
the Compensation Committee, but no option shall be exercisable more than 10
years after the date of grant.
 
     In November 1993, following the Public Offering, executive officers and
directors of the Company were granted incentive stock options to purchase
560,000 shares of common stock at $18 per share. The term of each option granted
is ten years from the date of grant. In 1995, 50,000 additional stock options
were granted pursuant to approval by the shareholders at the 1995 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. At December 31, 1993, 610,000 options for shares were
outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement with Bradley as
described in Note 11 below, these options will be terminated.
 
(10) CONTINGENCIES
 
     Certain of the properties owned by the Company underwent Phase I and Phase
II assessments in connection with the Public Offering. The Company does not
believe that the results of any of these assessments indicate a material
obligation of the Company. In addition, a Phase II assessment conducted in 1993
at the Commons of Chicago Ridge indicated the presence of certain soil and
ground water contaminants at levels that might require some form of action in
the future to remediate the contaminants. The Company is not presently able to
determine the extent of the liability, if any, related to such remediation and
as such no liability has been reflected in the financial statements. Certain
members of the Company's management have also agreed to indemnify the Company
with respect to any remediation at Chicago Ridge for ten years after the Public
Offering. The Company has not recorded a receivable related to this guarantee.
 
(11) MERGER AGREEMENT AND PROVISION FOR MERGER RELATED EXPENSES AND WRITE-DOWNS
 
     On October 30, 1995, TPC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Agreement") with Bradley Real Estate, Inc. ("Bradley") and certain other
related agreements, providing for the merger (the "Merger") of the Company with
and into Bradley and certain related transactions. The consummation of the
Merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval of the Merger by the
stockholders of the Company and Bradley at separate special stockholder meetings
on March 14, 1996.
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the
"Effective Time"), if the average closing price of a share of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of Bradley (the "Bradley Common Stock") over the 20
trading days immediately preceding the fifth day prior to the date of the
closing of the Merger (the "Bradley Closing Price") is $16 or greater, each
outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Company,
(the "Tucker Common Stock") will be converted into the right to receive 0.665 of
a

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
share of Bradley Common Stock. If the Bradley Closing Price, at the Effective
Time, is less than $16 per share but more than $15.50 per share, then each
outstanding share of Tucker Common Stock will be converted into the right to
receive the percentage of a share of Bradley Common Stock (determined to the
nearest one-thousandth of a share) as is determined by dividing $10.64 by the
Bradley Closing Price; and, in the event that at the Effective Time, the Bradley
Closing Price is $15.50 per share or less, then each outstanding share of Tucker
Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.686 of a share of
Bradley Common Stock.
 
     As a result of the Merger, Bradley will acquire the 95.9% general
partnership interest of the Company in TOLP and will become the sole general
partner of TOLP. At the Effective Time, the Agreement of Limited Partnership of
TOLP will be amended and restated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. In
connection with entering into the Agreement, the Company adopted a severance
plan for certain of its employees and entered into severance agreements with
certain of its officers. Kenneth L. Tucker, President and Chairman of the Board
of the Company, has agreed to enter into a consulting agreement with Bradley for
a period of three years pursuant to which Mr. Tucker will advise Bradley on
retail real estate matters. In connection with the merger, TFC, or its assets,
will be acquired by Bradley, or a wholly owned affiliate of Bradley, to be known
as Bradley Financing Corporation ("BFC"). In addition, TFP will change its name
to Bradley Financing Partnership and will be owned 99% by Bradley Operating
Limited Partnership (the successor to TOLP) and 1% by BFC.
 
     In conjunction with this announcement, the Company recognized a provision
for merger related expenses and write-downs during 1995. This provision consists
of the write-off of certain costs incurred to-date related to the merger
(approximately $1.1 million), the write-off of capitalized costs related to
certain development projects which will not be pursued by the merged
organization (approximately $.5 million) and the write-off of certain
receivables (approximately $.6 million). The provision for these items totaled
approximately $2.2 million.
 
(12) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
     Due to the acquisition of Mequon Pavilions in June 1994, the historical
results for the year ended December 31, 1994 are not comparable to the current
period.
 
     The following pro forma information was prepared as if the acquisition of
the Mequon Pavilions had on January 1, 1994. The pro forma financial information
is based upon the historical consolidated statements and is not necessarily
indicative of the consolidated results which actually would have occurred if the
transaction had been consummated at the beginning of 1994 nor does it purport to
represent the results of operations for future periods.
